Age

In a state of disarray,
hunched,
squatting by the corner,
with the soft light pouring in 
from the open doors of the bar.
dismal and insignificant,
putrid and repellent.

Dancing shadows,
enter the prancing jester,
mockingly jovial,
unwary and nonchalant
of the maimed stranger,
crippled by the desolation of youth.

As the world walks on,
eyes momentarily linger
with disregard
at the sorry state,
reviled with the innate ugliness
of the withering soul,
filled with revolt,
disgust,
and self-assuring denial.

how one regards
the disfigured
with such venom
and even more so
when one rejects
the imminent reality
of the final falling grains of sand
in the hourglass
of one's life.

Age, how dost thou plunge me into melancholy,
regret and wishful thinking?

My Fair Lady

This is an old issue, I know. What has brought my attention to the topic of women rights was when I watched one of the episodes of Commander In Chief on Hallmark. In that series, the president of the United States was supposedly a woman. Interesting, and she plans to take the stand for women rights to the next level despite the controversies arousing her brave statement. The debate was whether or not it was relevant to debate on an old issue, in respect of the state of today's society. Women of today have a better status than they did way back in the days of history old. Women emancipation has been heatedly debated especially in the West throughout the time, and perhaps, the most memorable one was of the Suffragettes, fighting for the right of women to vote. Some places in Africa, in history, do not even recognize rape of women, as a crime, however, all of that has changed, thankfully. The question now is, are women actually 'emancipated' as we are all made to belief? well,...

Outta..Control!

Sometimes in life, we have to laugh ourselves silly..laughing at ourselves! Life must go on and there will always be more room for improvement. So, for my last post before I go back to school, I'm gonna put my debating pictures, then and now.. just for fun see how much I've evolved from the 4-minute emo speech to the 8-minute still emo speech, haha. however, I haven't any pictures on my public speaking though, so I don't know how I fared. One judge commented me last year that I was as stiff as a robot! so, here we go! THEN UIA 2007- against RMC, yep, this is the one I'm talking about! The most embarrassing debate, aww, my first time.. look at Mirul, covering his face in shame, Kak Ainul, praying kot? and at the back at that time, Teacher Rozy was having a good laugh with Amirul Irfan, RMC's researve at that time. okay..this went out of hand! what the hell was I doing?? These pictures are really old ones that reside in my thumbdrive that I have yet to upload.haha...
