Little Red Dot Press - Hovering vultures 30 May 2006

They wait in patience.
They glance at you with the stare, eyeing it dreadfully.
They hover around for it to be finished of its contents.
At the first sign of 'death', they swoop in and carry it off.

They are your can-collectors.

Everywhere, anywhere, their presence can be felt.
Be it hovering around you.
Be it rummaging the rubbish bin which you have threw your can into.
Some run through the bin like a professional, armed with gloves or clamps.

You can hear from in the dead silence of the night,
the ruckle of the cans
They stomp it flat
*Cramp! Cramp! Cramp*
the sound of aluminium cans.

Elderly folk, "Auntie" folk
Some even with kids in tow
They are often seen
Some respond with a gleam,
when you give them their precious tins
putting one more into their bags
clinking

They are your neighbourhood can collectors

Never were there such numbers
raise up and fast to the
to the greening scene
They play an important role
although they were never told
they are helping with the green and clean

They are just human beings.

Little Red Dot Press - Running short of time 30 May 2006

Time! Whereth are thou?!

Sleep have now seemed never enough. My rate of 'devouring' books have slowed to a snail's pace. Instead of three, four books at a time, I only engage in nibbling at one book at a time.

Perhaps, I should get out more often... or otherwise, I could have ignored the piling of clothes that scream 'IRON ME!! IRON ME!!' or the flooring that have 'VACUUM and MOP ME!!!' written all over the ceramic tilings.

Anyway, any semblence to life would be the weekend. Last weekend was spent hanging out with friends who have made it back after a long trip away from Singapore. Coffee, dessert, pool and even durians, made it into the stomachs of the three "musketters"

Weekends, seem so short. Whatever happened to my long vacations? The hey-days of lengthly vacations, backpacking expeditions to rural Thailand seemed a distant memory.

Dropping off everything onhand to go backpacking seems pretty inviting.

Perhaps I shall go one of these days.

Little Red Dot Press - Drowning in work 29 May 2006

Since the days of exams weaned off, work have suddenly decided to take on an additional level.
---
If any one happened to realised, it have been almost a full month since I have written anything.

There are tonnes of topics I would wanted to pen it down, one of the genre is in Chinese. And this hapless Editor is... hapless on how to get all the chinese characters up onto the blog when the software is the main obstacle.

Anyway, the Editor would need to get his thoughts and ideas onto paper (Yes.. very un-environment friendly) before anything gets posted up here.

Pictures... pictures... The Editor havent gone for photographic shoots lately and sad to say, nothing have came out.. yet.

Fret not, I do have some feline pictures for show and shall be putting them up for public viewing.

Stay tune, the Editor will be back shortly....
