asiaone, a serious news site?

My GOD! what kind of an image and word to put on the FRONT page of a NATIONAL newspaper site?!?!
Immediately, the thought that this paper CAN'T be having serious news, news that matters to the people, could they?

And this is a very worrying thing.. that Singapore is reflecting this kind of images on this kind of serious site.
Or perhaps Asiaone is not a serious news site?

I think they should watch what kind of image they're portraying about their organisation, if it is really meant to be doing serious news business. Do you think you'll ever see this kind of image on the front of a respected news site like BBC.com or Al Jazeera?

I'm very turned off! I'm thinking this is like another lame mundane male magazine site.

One thing's for sure.. i'm not coming back to this news site. I'd rather go to more serious news site like BBC.com or Al Jazeera. I'll catch local news from the talks on the streets or the news on TV.. unless they too, start to think that erotica images are news. Sheesh!

a wife's trial

I know you think I'm superwoman
I accept the compliment
But even she can make mistakes
It's not a record I can break

I want to be home before you
So I can greet you at the door
But once at home I can't bid adieu
To our children and the household chores

But I know I must be able to
set my priorities, and one is you
You're not ignored, that part is true
Cause when you're down, I'm unhappy too

Dear I will try to do my part
I'll put more effort for a start
Making sure your dinner's prepared
And get the children ready for bed

With the limited things I do for thee
I'm sure somehow, you appreciate me
Though you may not show it so clearly
I know you're not build like that, I see

In every marriage, there are roles
For the man and the woman to hold
The one for me, I will abide
With much sincerity, with all my heart

mothering the studying

I don't understand how you can think
When your ears are plugged and then you sing
Can you turn it off just for a while?
Finish your homework, turn off that dial.

Don't look at the computer
Turn off the screen
You can chat with your friends later
Finish number thirteen.

Wait wait wait, what are you doing?
Avoid being careless, check that thing
Go through it once more, it doesn't sting
Think a bit more, the bell may ring

I'm not shouting at you
I'm trying to explain
I thought with raised voice
It will be more plain

I'm sorry sometimes I realise
I'm pushing too hard
But if I don't,
Will you even start?

There I go again,
underestimating
I should have faith in you
and let you do your own thing

Don't say no, don't say you can't
don't give up before completing the plan
It doesn't matter what went before
Just start work now, on your future score

And I just wanted to let you know
That I never meant
To make you feel low
How can I, I love you so

I know you can achieve much more
With your heart at it, I'm sure you'll soar
I'll be here for you, if you need me
To put you into gear, without being pushy.

I'll try. :)

p.s. : did you realise that when you're mothering too much, the plural 's' gets to the front and it becomes smothering? hmm..

p.p.s. writing poems again.. kemaruk kan?
but like I said, it's seasonal. so bear with it. I just needed to squeeze my brain juice in a new way. Have a nice day.

be free, learn and have fun

Sometimes I think about
the things I want to do,
And to go to wherever I may..
but alas, I can't just slip away

I'm chained to reality,
binded by responsibilities

But how now I wish
I had done all that
before I was married
before I was attached

So to all the girls
still young and free
Don't rush into love
C'MON you girls! take it easy

Enjoy your freedom
While you have it now
Work, play and roam
Dont' make that vow

The vow that's only
between you and him
The vow that really
doesn't mean a thing

If he really loves you
It won't just be words and play
If he really loves you
He'll have you in a respectable way

So girls, before you regret
not having done what you should have
Don't waste your time upon a boy
Go for your own goals, not be their toy

This is the time for you to explore
Before you are busied with household chores
Make use of your freedom and grow as a person
There are so many things for you to learn

And when the time is right
When what God has Written comes true
You'll meet a person who will love you
For all the experiences that has made you, YOU.

With many things you've done for you
And not forgetting your parents too
The marriage will be a fulfilling one
With much experience to help it run

So really, for now,
learn.. and have fun.

lucky farhati

to get fat should be easy
but not for farhati
she ate and she ate
but didn't gain much weight

we feed her wedges
we feed her waffles
with ice cream on top
not forgetting the choc

How do we make
farhati gain weight?
We've brought her to KFC
McDonalds and Secret Recipe

One thing's for sure
I'd be happy if I'm her
to be able to eat
and not gain a bit.
