The Life and Times

I’ve had it.
Screw rules that were made.
We never understood it.
Why follow it?

I wanna drive around,
windows down,
blastin my favourite songs,
and screamin my lungs out.

I’ve had it with people.
Tellin me what to do.
Can’t they let me live.
Let me do what I wanna do.

I guess this is what’s been botherin me.
People restrictin my limits.
Not allowin me to live my life.
The way I want it.
If you ask me what I wanna do,
I’ll tell you that I wanna jump around, headbanging and lettin myself go.

Some of you should try it.
It’s liberating I tell you.
Tell the lookers to join in, or tell them to shut it.
One, two, three, four.
SWING IT!!!!!!!

To be an Arsenal fan is somethin of a privilage, somethin that you take pride in wearin the crest of the club on your body. And after talks, Arsenal got their man from Marseille, a French international, Robert ‘Bobby’ Pires. Bobby was a player who, with such humility graced Arsenal fans with his skill and passion for playin football. Sadly though, after 6 illustrious years at Arsenal, and at the age of 32, still carryin that passion for playin football, Bobby has decided to leave Arsenal and move to Spain in hopes to play more games.

The moment that summed up Robert was at the end of season 2002 when he
came on the pitch on crutches and the whole team kneeled down for him.
He had humility and class.

Sad to see you go Bobby, but best of wishes for you in Spain!!
We love you Bobby!!!

A red and white rose, the Arsenal colours, left at Highbury. Farewell Highbury!!

The gates of Highbury closes after Arsenal’s final game, and will never be opened again.

The banner in the North Bank says it all, 93 Years Of Memories. 93 Years Of Gunner-rific Memories!!

Highbury, gone but never forgotton!!! The final celebration!! A fitting farwell to Highbury and all it’s glory!

Arsenal played their final game at Highbury against Wigan Athletic on 7th May, with the prospect of Champions League loomin, but only if they won or drew and hoped that the bloody yids lost to the Hammers. But Arsenal, bein the classy team that they are, weren’t goin to just play out a draw at the last ever Highbury game. In the end, Arsenal ran out 4-2 winners against Wigan, with a superb hat-trick from our skipper, Thierry Henry!! The bloody yids lost to the Hammers 2-1, har har!! And Arsenal will be playin European football next season at their new stadium, the Emirates Stadium. A stadium for the future!!

In with the clock at Highbury!!!!!

But Highbury, thank you for the memories!!! For ever in my heart!!!

Looks like hands just played a deck of cards.
A cruel deck in my case.
Looks like hands just pulled the trigger and released shots.
I can’t escape the bullet even at the fastest pace.
Owh God, just float me into space.
Help me solve my problems.

I’m sorry that I’ve sinned.
I’m sure you’ve seen it all.
All I want is a life uncomplicated.
But maybe that’s just foolish dreams.
I know you give me tests for reasons.
But sometimes I easily  fail.
And with that I’m unconcious and fall.

These are the most trying moments I’ve ever gone through.
Some moments just strike through me.
And with pain I cry.
But I admit, thoughts that ran through my mind wasn’t neccessary.
Unfortunately.
If only I open my eyes and see.
I’m sorry.

This isn’t a poem.
It’s a plea.

In a car on Friday eve
On a road less travelled
Sitting and thinking whether to leave
On a trip where we’ll be marvelled

A road trip abounds
Something spontaneous
Let’s go around
And enjoy the scenarios

We’ll take this car
Fuel it up with gas
We’ll have a roar
On the way to ‘Has’

We’ll make it back in time
We’ll get there no matter what
The ache in our spine
We pay no attention to that

Malacca and back
We did it alright
Strayed of our tracks
A trip we’ll remember till times of twilight

Cheers mates, you know who you are!

Today I fell.
It felt like hell.

On the ground, that’s where I am.
I went the whole nine yards, just to fall.
Now it’ll never be the same.
Now I’m covered up in soil.

Leave me on the ground for awhile.
So I fell, does it mean I get up straight away?
Let me lay on the ground till the point I smile.
So when I get up, I won’t easily sway.

The greatest of people gets covered in dirt.
Some get up straight away, some just decide to stay.
Gimme sometime to dirty my shirt.
This moment will make me cringe with dismay.

In dismay I may be, but someday you’ll see.
There I am, standin on my own two feet.
Ain’t that pretty.
Ain’t that a wonderful feat.

People will watch while I crawl, on all fours.
Tryin to find a common ground.
Hopin it doesn’t  go under my force.
So I can stand, instead of bein on the ground.

From my fall.
I now stand up tall.

It’s a weird timing of the year to write somethin about my thoughts on life, since most people started at the beginning of the new year. But as I sit here at 2am in the mornin, I wonder to myself why do I feel somethin that I just can’t explain, like somethin’s missing, like there’s a void in me which needs to be filled.

Firstly, what’s our purpose of living? Is it to just be happy and lead a wonderful life surrounded by the people you love, or to be successful in your studies, your job and all those materialistic crap that’s just bloody overrated? Deep inside me, I know that livin a wonderful life with the people you love all around you is more important than all those materialism shite. And I also know that you need some materialistic stuffs to survive in this world, such as money. But then, you ave all these people all around you that constantly tries to remind you that materialistic success is more important.

And even so if we do strive for materialistic success, bare in mind not to indulge in them too much, what is so wrong with failing? Why do we always have to be successful and on top all the time? I took some time to think about it, and I came to a realisation. Success can sometimes drive you to failure, while failure can sometimes drive you to success. What I’m tryin to say is that, while there are those who’s just so bloody successful, they tend to forget and gets cocky and arrogant of their success, which ultimately drives them to their own failure, while there are those who let’s failure spur them on for greater success.

Life’s funny. It’s almost bittersweet like. There are those moments of pain and sorrow, while there are those moments of wonder and amazement. Here’s to a start of a new day. Here’s to livin. Here’s to life.

Oh bloody hell here I go again.
The ride starts now, it only goes down.
It never goes up.
Down, down, down, down……..

I strap myself up for the ride,
prepare myself for the tide,
can’t really hide.
Do you expect I hide from me?

Oh the empty gaze
that I gave.
That’s just what it is, a gaze
on the ride.
How do you think I look, face of puzzle?
Or maybe a face with a maze?
Whatever it is, I’m lost.

Damn those glossy roses,
screwed up glossy roses.
It made me got on the ride,
where it’ll only bring me down.

Been on this ride a thousand times,
where for the thousand of times,
Itold myself that I had enough of this ride.
But after the thousand times,
another time will come,
and I’ll strap myself to the ride.

Anybody willing to help?
Stop me from getting on the ride again.
All I need is a listening ear,
which wouldn’t make me out as insane.

Damn those glossy roses,
polished up to glossy roses,
pretty yet screwed up glossy roses.

Here I go again,
Down, down, down, down, down.

I’m pretty sure I don’t have the right to feel this way.
But then again, what the hell do I know?
Should I wait and lay?
Or do I move in slow?

The things that went through my head,
was it really neccessary?
Do I wait for my tears to be shed,
before we even know our pathway?

O pretty lovely,
are we on the same page?
Hey pretty lady,
should I still have hope?

The role that I’m in,
makes me feel like a harlequin.
The massacre within,
could destroy me like a mannequin.

The optimism I had,
replaces my joy.
The pessimissm makes me scared,
it makes me feel like I’m in a ploy.

But I know I have no right to stop your joy.
Just want you to know I’ll be happy,
as long as your happy.
Eventhough it could kill me…….

Ain’t love just bloody swell.
It sweeps you of your feet to make you fall.
And before you know it,
you’re on the floor,
all left to dwell.

As far as I can gather,
loves bittersweet.
And now I wander,
in the streets,
while I wonder.
Are we goin to be together?

Never have I known anyone that makes me feel,
the way that I do right now.
Is this feeling real,
if it isn’t why do I always utter wow!?

Those smile of yours makes me smile,
in an instant while,
I feel the warmth in life.
Don’t you see,
your smile,
just makes me go wild!!

Your eyes create euphoria,
like the ones you feel in an estadia.
But your euphoria,
can never be coloured with a crayola,
it’ll only be my euphoria.

You probably thought at the start,
I was gonna write words of art,
filled with broken hearts.
But I’m here to pour my heart,
for the one that’s really great.

But I’ll never leave out,
those who don’t feel this way.
This verse is your part,
for you to look at the sky,
and I find out that love just said Hi.
Again…….
