Leaving the Nest

It stood out, almost proud but too bitter to be.
It sat, almost gently, next to her eye.
Eyelashes look pretty with tears glinting at the tips.
But hearts break when there are tears.
Tears come relentlessly when there is heart break.

Fear is in the unkown.
Fear is leaving all that is familiar and warm.
All that is comfort, all that is so easy.

When one is young, one wants to be older.
When one is finally older,
the only thing that the heart desires,
is to be young again.

But there is still time,
to make memories,
to hang some pictures on new walls,
and life goes on.

This post is a "tribute" to Daniel Yee who 'needs to know what is happening in KL'.
Dannyboy, it's not much but here's what's been going on.

1. Bangsar is dying. Slowly (and painfully) but surely, less people head to Telawi streets these days with the exception of two kinds- a. the people who live in that area and b. those who still can't get enough of Nirvana's and the general Bangsar atmosphere.

2. Bangsar is boring without the right people. (WARNING- emotional crap up ahead)
Going to Bangsar these days ain't the same without you guys (you know who you are).

3. HELP is definitely a hellhole now. This is true for several reasons, let me elaborate.
a. Good lecturers are leaving, and by this I mean Sir Hopkins. He's gone and we don't know how to fill his shoes. Gah. Another good reason to abhor Help- Ms. Winniee ain't teaching Intro to Research Methods no more, some dude has taken over that class. What has the world come to!?

b. All the best Helpers have gone south. (Again- WARNING) Yea, college sucks without the right people. Trust me on this, all the wrong people have taken over (picture the new intakes- I shall say no more).

c. About 2 months ago, they closed off the smoking area. Of course that doesn't stop us from hopping over the chain link and sitting there anyway, but c'mon! You can't close off such places and not expect us to make noise. Doofus.

d. HP Towers might be closing soon- this is not a definite yet but the lady told me that the rents are getting higher and they might move somewhere else. Suck on that.

4. I don't know if this has any relevance but, they closed down Oasis- that little bar-type place near the Bangsar LRT station (it's also right next to the road that leads to Bangsar Heights =D ). They did open up a new place in it's spot but I have yet to check it out.

5. There's been loads of artists/ musicians coming in but who do I go with to watch em play?

6. After writing this out, I realize that I just sound whiny because I miss everyone that's away. Gah. Well there you go Dan, I'll whine again later with more news.

7. But yes, I still miss Vivek the most. Nyahahahaha. Derr.

8. Oh yes, I forgot, they opened up the 2nd phase of Bangsar Village but it totally sucks balls because it's like the Bangsar version of KLCC. I went there with Payal the other day and we just stared wistfully at things we couldn't afford. I do the same thing in KLCC. So now you can do the same at Bangsar Village, no need to go so far for that!

9. Another thing, the assholes at Midvalley hiked up the parking price so it is no more RM1 per entry minus any extra charge.

10. Gosh, doesn't KL sound swell?

Violence

I remember a time when there was yelling.
Nothing but yelling.
Shoving, kicking and punching.
Anything around you, the walls.

Such anger in your eyes,
such hatred in your body.
Such ignorance in your heart,
such ferocity in your sneer.

Your hand poised high,
poised to come into contact,
with another person,
a living, breathing person.

The sounds of a brawl,
the coming of a war,
the snarls of an animal,
I heard your voice from the other end.

Then you see me here,
with tears in my eyes,
your hand lowers,
you stare ashamedly at the ground.

Sticks clatter to the ground,
I stare at you.
Your eyes they plead,
but I have to go.

I walk away.
You made me do it.

What do you like?

Cold

Cold like the ice in my fridge,
you prick me with nimble words.
Ah but what is cold without hot,
for we would not know hot without cold.

Tell me what is love,
without these storms,
But a few glimpses,
of our pretty sky.

But show me how,
please show me how,
how do I eliminate all the cold,
without getting rid of this heat.

But please be gentle with the cold,
alas you were not,
for it stings without
the usual warmth.
