A novel review: L.U.V.E.

of ... confessions (pingu Toha's L.U.V.E. novel review) Why is it so hard to express your utmost true feelings to another person closest to you (be it your parents, best friend(s), worst enemy or a most loved/adored/admired/respected person)? Why is it much easier to express it to a non-human being, e.g. your pet(s), diary, voice recorder, wall  (I'm not talking about  facebook 's or any social networks' wall) , etc.? Feelings and confessions. They are  something . Something that is not taught in schools, but is often  discussed  - a discourse, may it be an open discussion or a closed one; feelings are exchanged from one person to another, or perhaps even to other alternatives such as the aforementioned.  L.U.V.E.  Confessions of lovers' experiences in love (and out of love). Fictitious or not, it is up to the reader to judge. A good read nonetheless. Comical and it is surprisingly ironic that there are people like the characters in the novel - reaching out and tryi

"Tom & Jerry"

English poem #?

untitled Living in disguise I'm walking in the midst of the night and the phantom approaches me sayin' "Forgive your brothers for all their sins they've done They'll crave for what's left and what's gone Only if you avoid them all" Left out in my shadow I see the living world suffering My self-esteem blew Hurtin' every single bone and soul I close my eyes Pretending I'm fine Fact is, I ain't what I am anymore Slammin' down the phone I felt life much easier on me Take me away I am no longer in my usual state of mind Please forgive me I'm leavin' this crazy world for the rest of you I don't wanna know whatever happens I'm an angel in disguise... reenacted 2001, created 1997 SGGS, Penang

Another poem in English

note: This was created 7 years ago; I was a rebellious school gal and all I could do at that time was write. This poem complemented a novel I wrote about the same year. I later retyped the WHOLE novel and managed to keep it as a remiscence of my teenhood :) ALONE I tried to understand I tried to comprehend But nothing would come to mind Everything seems blur and down I know it is hard to be heard For what I feel now is hard to describe Loneliness... Such a word, never a compliment Knowing I'd be alone again Roaming thru (through) heaps of memories It seems never to end Awake in bed late in the darkest of night A lost shadow manoeuvres above me There was a face I saw - shone the moonlight With enquiries on it, putting me back into time winding up the lost time Loneliness is what I feel now... Please forgive me... reenacted 2001, created 1991 SGGS, Penang

Malay poetry in English

TEACHER, FORTRESS OF KNOWLEDGE Ladin Nuawi Alia Salleh (tr.) More than just a land of knowledge our school is a garden of blooming young generations More than just a working schedule our school is a battlefield for knowledge warriors When conquerors poisoned the souls of the nation our teachers flowed their wisdom pages by pages for the sake of the nation’s freedom When conquerors devour earth’s heritance our teachers fortressed their knowledge season by season for the sake of gaining independence Now in independence schools’ rooftops, teachers, change in the face of time Fortress of teacher’s knowledge always in remembrance, on this beloved country.

CyberNovel pertamaku (masih tiada tajuk)

satu Entah berapa lama dia direnungipun dia tidak kisah. Seperti dia sudah biasa direnung sedemikian rupa. Lantas dia membayar harga majalah yang dibelinya dan berlalu dari situ. Masih dirasakan dia direnungi sekalian masyarakat di sekelilingnya. Dia mengatur langkah pantas meninggalkan tempat itu, menuju ke arah sebuah bas ekspres yang menunggu para penumpangnya memenuhi ruang-ruang tempat duduk sebelum bergerak menuju ke destinasinya. Ketika dia menaiki bas itupun masih dirasakan ada sahaja pasangan mata memandangnya. Pun, dia acuh tak acuh saja. Sambil membelek-belek tiket bas, matanya melilau mencari nombor tempat duduknya. Mujur belum ramai orang yang menaiki, memenuhi bas tersebut. Pantas dia menyimpan bagasinya di ruang simpanan atas dan duduk di kerusinya. Menghela nafas lega. Penat, barangkali. Majalah yang dibelinya tadi dikeluarkan dari beg sandangnya. Membelek-belek muka utama dengan separuh minat. Sekali-sekala melepas pandang ke luar jendela bas. Masih ramai orang yang me
