i used to think myself as Ernest Hemingway or Oscar Wilde or Rudyard Kipling. lol. then i realised that these people were to fancy for my age. lol again. but it's ok. so i thought, these days people are writing in a totally different way. you can actually tell between a normal Anglo American poet (or writer) and one from today's generation. ya. i guess it's not our fault (assuming that i come from today's generation..hahah). nevertheless, below are some of my writings which i think were influenced or shaped by the wave of globalisation and nationalisation. again, i won't blame myself for this. thank you.

Bila aku teringat the first time i met you

i was looking behind me
when suddenly i saw you
i could hear nothing else
only the sound of your voice
and i told myself,
inikah dia yang aku cari
setelah lama aku menanti;
i remembered it was a red top
and grey sleek leggings
dan kasut ballerina
rasa macam baru semalam

and now,
after seasons changed
i know i was right that time
sebab that pretty girl i saw
is sitting next to me
dengan senyum lebarnya
until today and
hopefully forever

Aku, Single dan Loser

when asked about love
i would say its crap
then people ask, tapi kenapa?
then i would say, because i pun crap
then they say;
kalau macam tu,
it’s not fair if you say
love is crap;
because you’re the problem,
not love

so they asked me again
what is love;
cuba teka what i answered
- love is still crap. thank you

Bila Nafasku tak cukup panjang (kerana oksigen dah kurang di bumi)

aku lihat jam; dan dia cemuh aku
oh. terima kasih jam
perhaps when all this is over
aku bulih kembali ke pangkal jalan
(yang aku sendiri tak tau mana pangkalnya)
sigh
or perhaps i could go for a
permanent head damage - chantek. sangat.
pakcik, mana opium saya ni? dah lama saya order

Tipikal

i remembered that date;
we had a great lunch
and some jalan-jalan at the mall
when suddenly
ada mamat (sualan) text message you
and you know i hate it when that happens
you’re holding my hand on one side
and tangan sebelah lagi reply text message mamat (sualan)
dan moments later - kita gaduh. tipikal
you ask for apology
then me being stubborn (thank you)
after 1 hour - kita lepak setar_buks
having caramel frappe like nothing happen
oh - tipikal
