miche swears she is geninuely the most random person on earth because her brains are never settled on one thing. just like how she is now trying to do up the package for next year while being constantly reminded at the back of her head that there are still three more SOWs to be complete for 2009. but anyway, she decided that it was equally important to catch up on the news at channelnewsasia. suddenly she thought her conversation over lunch with burmese boy and the legend. it was really quite funny cause really this society we live in is really a country where in string of abbreviations, a sentence could still make sense. but since burmese boy is in mfa and legend in spo, it was no strange occurrence that references to 2ps and goodness what miche cant remember about haha but yeah. this is totally a random blog.

tonight seems to be moving very very slowly. damn the internet connection that keeps going on and off.

now that prom night is over and chances are no one saw the poem miche wrote. she is going to publish them here in hope that perhaps some of its intended audience will read it. but haha fingers crossed. so here goes.

Etched

like imprints on the shoreline at low tide
memories
do not fade away
gone but never far from sight
recurring, repeating, remaining…

etched…
the faces…
the joys…
the times…

like clouds that hang in the skies
ever-changing, solitude in groups
occupy our skies…
dissipating, forming, re-forming…

like the thunderstorm that rages with fury
times and events we braved through together
but has to end…

like the imprint of a tattoo
ever-lasting, you are
etched
the lives
the memories
you and I

here is to many months of languishing and lack of intellectual thought. the recent bout of national training has re-inspired miche to pursue more intellectual activities such as reading more intellectual books. so here is an entry introducing some of the new books which miche has been reading.


God is Dead by ron currie jr is a book about how life is like after God dies. the book starts off with God inhabiting the body of an african woman in worn torn Darfur and is accidentally killed in cross-fire. The corpse of the body with God's spirit in it was eaten by some dogs who after consuming the spirit of God starts to speak Hebrew. The news of God's death is spread to the rest of the world. In the aftermath of God's death, priests and other religious leaders commit suicide, the world plunges into a state of mayhem as people start living reckless and kill each other for no apparent reason. parents and adults in need for a figure of worship starts worshiping their children. one section of the book actually features an interview with one of the dogs which survive the onslaught of kidnapping after they were discovered to be the ones who consumed the body of God. God is Dead is really quite an interesting read, something which is literary and rather thought-provoking, because the world of hedonism which is portrayed is not that far-fetched a reality as it seems. in fact, it is altogether quite real and happening in real time as miche write.

The others book which miche has been reading are the bad dog's diary and the bad dog's progress.Both books are written in the perspective of jack russell who is a total rascal. it chronicles two years of his life (one year per book) and all the things which he goes through everyday. how he deals with the owner's first girlfriend who is a dog trainer and is always trying to persuade the owner that it is the most natural thing to do to neuter blake, how he fights for his territory, how he falls in love with girlfriend ella and stuff. quite amusing really, a fun and comical read.



In addition to these, miche has also consumed erm 8 agatha christie novels over the last 2 months. haha miche's readin pace has actually slowed down a lot, she used to be able to read much faster but oh well. so it is a saturday afternoon, and miche is home from nat team training. time to crash and read some books. since her parents are out in malaysia for whatever reason there is =)

miche has managed to finish writing the poem she was mulling over. in fact in the time she was waiting for the day to e over, she wrote 2 poems. heh heh. miche do hope that the intended audience is able to understand it.

miche cant help but to post this picture she stumbled across she was trying to complete the poem (which has become 2 poems by the way) but how cute is this!

so yet again miche drags herself out of bed at the most ridiculous hours in the morning to come to work only to find that the meeting has been cancelled once again. what can miche do but sit in the office and stare into the blank spaces that surround her. perhaps she will take the time to pen the poem she has been deliberately about for the past week. the poem which is supposed to be dedicated to yeah people, tentatively entitled "etched".

thanks to kitty jie jie, miche just realised that work doesnt really end cause there is still the year-end book to produce after the malee of everything else. this is plain madness! urgh. oh well.

on a sudden note of realisation, miche does indeed live quite a restless life. oh well. back to penning that poem.
