It pains to watch their wake pulsing by, While you sit in the shallows of your ebbing bye.
MEMORIES
They eagerly peered out the car windows. Such a mixture of the new and the old. "This is the Dataran Merdeka or Independence Square since we received our independence here and the Malayan flag was hoisted for the first time at midnight (time: 12:00 AM) on 31 August 1957.

TRENDING PASTURES
Wealth doesn't mean wealthy, Riches don't denote richness. Property mayn't ensure prosperity, Finance won't imply freedom. Provision can't provide perspective, These are but evanescent! Affluence accounts but won't give access, Gifts goad but may not impart grace. Income induces but can't instill interest, Equity excites but doesn't extend existence. Valuables vouch but don't add value, These are but fleeting! Investment … Continue reading TRENDING PASTURES

Here I stand, swaying between faith & fear, Impotent & inadequate, ineffectual & incapable, Wishing it needn't have to be so, Wishing I could … Continue reading INBETWEEN

My cousin says that there aren't as many blackouts in his city. That's because they don't have a natural harbor … Continue reading HIDDEN DEPTHS
A BIRTHDAY POST
You are our firstborn, The excellence of our strength, The angel at my shoulder, The one who first made us parents. As you step out on your own, On to a path I have never trod in my life, My prayer is that the foundations We have laid will hold. As you launch out into … Continue reading A BIRTHDAY POST
YEARNINGS
Unclutter my mind, O Lord,And free me from the shackles of wandering thoughts.Help me disengage myself .From the clutches of legitimate waysAnd rise to sit in tranquil realms. Cause me to unhand every hounding sinThat would trip me as I run to the grailOr hamper me as I race down the well known trail.Let me … Continue reading YEARNINGS
