My Journal (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/books.php/item_id/459487-My-Journal I made this poem early in the morning my Grandfather died. Though I kept telling myself that he would pull through and that I should not be so morbid, I suppose God knew better and that in my heart, I knew that he would not make it through the day. I love you Papa. Sounds of a machine beeping, Short bursts of a wife weeping. Children working yet ...[Read Full Post] Tue, 22 Feb 2005 22:16:17 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/330036 Today, at about five thirty, we buried one of the most loved and caring auntie in the family. My aunt left behind three children, a bereaved husband, and countless others who loved her as much for her cooking but even more for her jolly outlook on life and positive personality. Though I did not get a chance to say anything at her funeral, I would sti...[Read Full Post] Wed, 29 Dec 2004 09:50:04 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/319906 Continuation of Ramblings 1 "Father, could you repeat that again?" she asked. "For the sake of the village, we cannot be left unprotected or have a matron who is unmarried. We cannot have you unwed child. The villain would take instant note of that and insist that you come to him," my father said. Ariala looked at her fiance. ...[Read Full Post] Thu, 05 Jun 2003 03:28:33 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/244719 The love of Wisdom. What is philopsophy? I have a book open in front of me. It is: The many faces of Wisdom: Great Philopsophers Visions of Philopsophy, edited by Phil Washburn. It's a very interesting book, but I've only read the first chapter so I don't really know the full story. What I do know is that Philopsophy can play a pa...[Read Full Post] Thu, 05 Jun 2003 03:14:41 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/244183 You forgot to direct your optimism to yourself. I was at Tarot.com, taking up an offer when I was given this message. It hit me, hard . Life has just been so negative lately that I forgot that good things could happen. I've been a pessimist and not the optimist that I'm known for. I forgot that there was something good behind everything. ...[Read Full Post] Mon, 12 May 2003 01:50:04 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/241195 I decided that I didn't have THAT much to say on the subject, and moved it to my Journal: The bane of those who do not have their own transportation and are constantly whining that all they want is the best for their children. They are the worst kind of demons, and they are all the more terrifying because they come in human clothing, and in many ca...[Read Full Post] Thu, 10 Apr 2003 01:59:24 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/236376 My password for a game: TB6 JRPXZLZ1 Vanity of vanities.

Wed, 09 Apr 2003 22:40:21 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/236354 In case anyone is reading this, my grandmother was admitted into the hospital early this morning (7/8am Malaysian time) This was the very same woman who fed and clothed me (literally) when I was much younger. It has often been said that filiality is the sign of a loyal child, of a person who keeps their words and do not forget where they came from.

THere are very few countries, I should think, where the people in the know and those on the street agree that some leaders are just plain stupid. Malaysia is one of them. I'm quite angry and ****ed off with the decision of several people to decide what we can or cannot get on our screens. NO, for once it...[Read Full Post] Mon, 31 Mar 2003 22:23:13 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/234908 One of the things about growing up in a place like Malaysia where you have so many different races and religions are the festivals. I'm a Chinese-Eurasian Mix. My religion may be a Catholic but I subscribe to a lot of Chinese beliefs as well. One of them is respecting the dead. There are several festivals the Chinese have for the dead. Two of the...[Read Full Post] Sun, 30 Mar 2003 21:29:05 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/234749 I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

I point it out because the music is absolutely haunting! At one hand, you have a scene full of people and obvious activity. In fact, the music seems to suggest lots of movement, but not to the extent of his work with Michelle Branch. HOwever, the one thing I felt...[Read Full Post] Mon, 24 Mar 2003 22:25:52 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/233698 Life is very fragile. What we thought was here today, maybe gone tomorrow. While reading about the things that youths with terminal illnesses go through, something one of them said made a little sense. Call me twisted and crazy, but I believe that there is a reason why cancer movies are made without a happy ending. To live with a disease is bearable,...[Read Full Post] Wed, 05 Mar 2003 23:35:00 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/230869 Sorry for the incomplete entry! I just had lunch with my boyfriend a little while ago and he brought up a topic that may seem odd to you, but it is rather relevant to us living in Asia and non-English speaking countries. According to him, those who were TAUGHT to speak English tend to think bottom-top, with the most concise words at the top and th...[Read Full Post] Wed, 05 Mar 2003 23:18:31 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/229720 There is always a darker side to characters, no matter what we want to believe. This applies not only to those whom we see around us, but also to religious figures as well. Some say that proof of a person’s flaw is in their mortality, like Mother Theresa and the saints. I however, digress. There has been this prevailing myth that only God and thos...[Read Full Post] Sat, 28 Dec 2002 09:25:35 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/216124 Someone once said that the only thing that separates humans from animals is sentience. I believe that many people digress, and I'm one of them. If we are truly so smart, why are we being so stupid? Animals don't have invent deadly weapons that kill, maim and strike fear into others needlessly? What we choose to make of our lives, are still up ...[Read Full Post] Tue, 24 Dec 2002 08:06:36 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/208784 The subject of Death is a touchy one for most people, but I for one believe that it is neccessary. Death, some say the Bible say, is brought about because of Adam's sins. Yet, we should ask, What is Death? If there was no Death, would we be here? Does God really hate us so much that He would curse us without making it a Blessing? Death, I believe,...[Read Full Post] Wed, 13 Nov 2002 21:16:32 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/205990 There was a huge storm yesterday after I had posted my last entry, so I was stuck in college while waiting for the rain to abate so my dad could pick me up. Don't get me wrong, very often the rains are not heavy enough than for most to simply dash through (and get rather wet in the process, which is what my darling bf sometimes does even though he h...[Read Full Post] Tue, 05 Nov 2002 21:06:42 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/204102 This is just part of my essay for my test that took place about fifteen minutes ago... ENJOY!! WELCOME BACK CUBBY! :) Missed you a lot! :) There are many who think that those who read romance are escapists, that they are flighty people, but in fact, romance readers are very loyal and optimistic. After all, what group of readers can intimately de...[Read Full Post] Tue, 05 Nov 2002 01:56:35 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/203912 Just an idea for a beginning of a story... The young woman was reading the ancient texts when someone knocked on the door of the small, private, library room she was using. "Come in," she said, not looking up from the text. "Ariala, your father and beloved are here," the Mistress of the Order said, watching the young woman's r...[Read Full Post] Thu, 05 Jun 2003 01:37:24 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/201107 This is the third time I'm trying to write this entry! Being in love, is a lot like reading a book. (Hah! Bet you didn't think I'd say that, rite? ;p) Sometimes, you just know what's going to happen next, yet you still keep on reading although you know that your heart's going to break. Others, you don't know, yet there are ...[Read Full Post] Sun, 20 Oct 2002 21:55:29 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/197632 I took some time today to finally read how the conflict can be brought to an end in the Middle East. It's sad that people who profess to be religious lie right, left, front and center. I say that the Israelies should just stay where they are and the Palestinians stay in Britain. There should be a state in Great Britain all for the Palestinians.

It's not easy to get a printing, transmission and other types of media licenses. We have to go through a long process that doesn't make sense except to gauge our political ideologies. We are more authoritarian than democratic. ...[Read Full Post] Fri, 20 Sep 2002 02:47:29 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/193614 It's been quite some time since I wrote in this journal, and I don't really think anyone is reading this but I would just like to write anyway. There's been so much going on in the past few days that I can't believe that things still remain the same. Firstly, I met a guy by the name of poeticbear.
