Blog EntryYOU MURDERED ME (MY LOVE)May 25, '07 12:26 AM
for everyone
 
This is my silent scream
I'm just a woman
Like any other woman
I need your unconditional love
I need your tender care
I need you to look at me
And tell me I am perfect
 
This is my silent scream
Like any other woman who cried silently..
When the man they thought they could rely on
Turn out to be a nightmare
 
This is my silent scream
You no longer look me in the eyes
You no longer touch me they way you used to
You no longer hug me and make me feel loved
You no longer desire for me
You no longer want me
.....and...
Nothing I do please you..
 
This is my silent scream
I long for the days when you look at me..
So tenderly it melted me inside..
What happened to your love?
What happened to your promises?
Where have I done wrong?
Why are you ignoring me?
Why am I feeling so much hurt?
Why am I feeling so breathless?
 
This is my silent scream
You will never see me cry
I cry myself to bed everynight
[You are not by my side]
I cry myself when I shower
[You never see my tears]
I cry myself when I stare blank at the TV
[You'll never know why..]
I cry myself when you walk out that door
[You never turn back...]
 
This is my silent scream
I am still in love with you
Still remember my vows [our vows] on our wedding day
I still need you
I am still your wife [you are my beloved husband]
Why are you abandoning me?
Why?
Why?
Why?
 
This is my silent scream.......
YOU deprived me of the kind of LOVE a wife yearns from a husband..


Blog EntryMy X'mas Guardian Angel (Short Story)Dec 21, '06 3:20 AM
for everyone

Canny stared at the window from her bed. Her heart is troubled…deeply troubled by something which has been haunting her for months.

 

It’s Christmas Eve, and she already made an appointment to meet Ryan for dinner at Boat Quay. She knows Ryan from ICQ chat, they chatted for 1 month and met twice for dinner and tonight is their first night out on a special occasion.

 

Canny got up from her bed, opened the wardrobe and peeped into her clothes. She realized that she didn’t have anything to wear for a special occasion. Then she noticed a white tube top and a purple short skirt folded neatly among her other clothes that she seldom wears.

 

The white tube top and the purple short skirt was a present from her boyfriend, Francis. He bought it for her when they went shopping at Bugis Junction a few months back. She and Francis had been together for nearly 2.5 years, until her birthday in June, whereby she told Francis that she wanted to end the relationship. She tried to put up with his selfishness and childishness for the past 1 year, and she finally decided to end it. The countless arguments and fights with Francis made her feel so fragile. She feels miserable most of the time as Francis started probing into her personal space after she asked for a break up.

 

He would just read her diary and her text messages to find out where she has been and who she was with. He wants to know who called her and where she goes. And if she refused to tell, he would follow her all the way from her place to her destination. Sometimes if he cannot find her or when she did not reply his call, he would wait for her at the void deck until she returns home.

 

Canny was terrified. The only person she can confide to then, was Ryan. Ryan has been a good listener. He has given her a new hope, and strength to carry on.

 

She had thought of applying for restraining order to keep Francis at bay, but she knows that won’t do any good. He will become more violent. Francis had threatened to hurt himself or hurt the new guy in her life if he ever found out who he is.

 

She remember clearly how after an argument in her room a few weeks back, Francis stabbed his arms with a sharp metal in front of her and she just sat there watching, without any reaction. She is horrified by the fact that the man she knows for 2.5 years can be so childish and irrational. The more he tries to hurt himself, the more Canny hates him to the core.

 

It was 5pm, Canny showered and changed into the white tube top and the purple skirt. She let her hair down for the first time when meeting a friend.

 

Ryan will be meeting her at Raffles Interchange MRT station at 7pm. She walked towards the bus stop to wait for the bus to the city.

 

Suddenly, Francis appeared from nowhere and confronted her.

 

“Where are you heading?” he asked her.

 

Canny was surprised to see him there and she knows he will question her.

 

“I’m going to meet some friends.” She replied briefly.

 

“Who? What friends?” he asked her again.

 

“Why would I tell you? Not that you know them..” said Canny, feeling rather restless and irritated.

 

“Are you meeting some guy?”, he asked further.

 

This time, Canny is getting pissed, she answered, “None of your business!”

 

Francis wasn’t happy with her answer, “I bought those for you..!” he said annoyingly, referring to the tube top and the purple skirt.

 

The bus came, she boarded the bus; and Francis followed.

 

When reaching the train station, she got off the bus and boards the train heading south from Jurong East Interchange. Francis too, entered the train and stood next to hear.

 

“You don’t want to tell me who you’re meeting… then fine! I’ll follow you…”, he threatened her.

 

Canny was very upset. At that moment, she felt that her whole world crashing down on her, anger and hatred filled her mind. She cried looking coldly at him while he pretended nothing happened. And the rest of the passengers in the train noticed the little drama.

 

They reached Jurong East Interchange and changed to the North East Line train. Francis still tagging close. Canny is not letting him getting where she’s heading. She quickly thought of a plan to get rid of him.

 

She and Francis were standing by the door. When the train reached Queenstown station, Canny watched as people got off the train, and seconds before the train’s door shut, she dashed out from the train.

 

She turned back, staring hard at Francis, who was staring at her in disbelief! He was inside the train while she watched him from the platform. The train left the station.

 

Canny, however, had guessed that Francis will not give up. She suspected that he will come back to Queenstown to look for her. Hence, she ran towards the overhead bridge and hide behind the wall at one corner.

 

The next train arrived at Queenstown from the city. Canny scan through the arriving passengers, and there she saw Francis, combing the crowd in search of her. Her heart was pumping and her hands were cold. After a while, Francis left with the other train heading towards the city. Canny stepped out from her hiding place, and waited for another train.

 

She was in the state of shock and her hands were shaking while on the way to Raffles Interchange. She kept looking back just to check if Francis is catching up with her.

 

She started to calm down the moment she saw Ryan waiting for her at the station. They had some drinks at the bar, followed by dinner. Still haunted by Francis’ shadow, she doesn’t feel like going home. She was very sure that Francis will be waiting for her at the void deck, like what he always does.

 

After the dinner, they proceeded to a club along Boat Quay. They danced the night away like there’s no one around, just the two of them on the dance floor. She just want to forget about her sorrows, and she just want to forget about everything.

 

As they danced, Ryan pulled her closely until their eyes met. The music was playing, and she can see some people were staring at the two of them, but none of them really bothered by the attention.

 

Then he pulled her close and kissed her. Time just passed by… the night was magic.

 

And it was true enough, Francis waited for her the whole night at the void deck.

 

He demanded S$10k from Canny in order for him to let her go. Canny just ignore his unrealistic request. Then he demanded that Canny return him whatever he had paid for her in their last few months together. In order to make him stop pestering her, she agreed to return him S$800 by installment. Canny’s take home pay was only S$1020, and she has to support her family at home, pay her room rental and her bills. She cannot afford to pay him all S$800 in one lump sum.

 

In order to release Canny from Francis’ never ending insults, Ryan has agreed to settle the amount for Canny.

 

Francis has never looked for Canny ever since while she and Ryan became a loving couple for more than 3 years.

 

 

********************************************************************************************************

 

 

That was 5 years ago, Ryan and Canny were separated in 2003 when he left to further his studies and he is now married. Once in while, they still chat online, talking about what they have gone through together.

 

Canny remembers all Ryan did for her unconditionally. To her, he is always the angel that touches her deep within. She tells herself times and times again, that she will never meet another man like Ryan.

 

But she still has many Christmas seasons to go through, whether with someone or just by herself….


Blog EntryMy Childhood Story - Growing Up in HardshipOct 17, '05 12:28 AM
for everyone

First and foremost, check into this website of a young sexy lady DJ based in LA.

http://www.djheavygrinder.revolutionrave.com/music.html

More pictures of her posing sexily in MySpace.com.

This is one young woman whom I admired and respected most. I know nothing about her but I know she's 21 and a very famous DJ and model in Los Angeles.

I grown up in a broken family. My mum passed away when i was 11 (drowned), and I was preparing for my UP SR (PS-LE) exam then (1987).

Everyday after school, me and my sister will clean the house, wash the laundry and cook for the rest of the family member. My dad was then working as a passenger boat driver and will return from work after 1pm. That time, being a petite 11-yr-old, we learnt through the hard way. The rice is okay, soup was easy, poached egg, veggie and some salted fish for lunch.

We washed the clothes at the river (no water supply then), carrying the pail full with clothes and dry it under the sun... it was fun...it was our learning curve. We had our ups and downs in life. This is the most precious moment of my life.

6 months after my mum passed away, my dad remarried a divorcee. Our home sweet home has then turned into a hell. So much fighting and so much tears. After a year, my step brother was born. 2 yrs later my step sister, and another 3 yrs later my step brother.

Along this period of time, i've seen her throwing things at my dad, they fought, kicked each other, slapped each other, my dad bled, my step mum got possessed by evil spirits, my step brother was admitted to hospital for burn...etc...etc..

Life is so....so. ...cruel.. I swore that one day I'm gonna break out from this curse and be someone .... I don't want to live in this house anymore..i don't want to see her face.... I had enough!

I went to work in several different towns, alone, starting from scratch. My first boyfriend when I was 19 was a liar, my second was a gangster (he shared with me some very interesting stories though), my 3rd was a guy i knew from workplace, a New Zealand er who left the company after 1 month.... all these hurt me like I'm putting my bare heart on the table and sprinkle with salt and lemon squeeze.

Transition from 19 - 23 was a bit slow, 23 to 26 I learned something about relationship, about education and the importance of being financially independent. 27- 29, i'm planning for a breakthrough. I want to be independent on my own, I want to be a versatile lady, I mix around with ppl from different walk of life. I took up other self-improvement courses... waiting for the right time to kick start...

I learned this year that, nothing is perfect, nothing is free, nothing last forever, whatever you do to other, you'll get it back in return... I've accepted God (Jesus) to be my saviour ....

One thing I am still feeling insecure about is relationship, I guess i'm prepared to be on my own...

Sometimes, when you reach a certain standard, earned yourself a reputation and status... you lost your integrity and virtues... how many can balance all and live moderately?

Peace!



On my wedding day, I carried my wife in my arms. The bridal car stopped in front of our one-room flat. My buddies insisted that I carry her out of the car in my arms. So I carried her into our home. She was then plump and shy. I was a strong and happy bridegroom.

This was the scene of ten years ago.

The following days were as simple as a cup of pure water: we had a kid, I went into business and tried to make more money. When the assets were steadily increasing, the affections between us seemed to ebb. She was a civil servant. Every morning we left home together and got home almost at the same time. Our kid was studying in a boarding school.

Our marriage life seemed to be enviably happy. But the calm life  was more likely to be affected by unpredictable changes.

Dew came into my life.

It was a sunny day. I stood on a spacious balcony. Dew hugged me from behind. My heart once again was immersed in her stream of love.  This was the apartment I bought for her.

Dew said, You are the kind of man who best draws girls eyeballs.  Her words suddenly reminded me of my wife. When we just married, my  wife said, Men like you, once successful, will be very attractive to girls.

Thinking of this, I became somewhat hesitant. I knew I had betrayed my wife. But I couldn t help doing so.

I moved Dew s hands aside and said, You go to select some  furniture, O.K.? I ve got something to do in the company. Obviously she was unhappy, because I had promised her to go and see with her. At the moment, the idea of divorce became clearer in my mind although it used to be something impossible to me.

However, I found it rather difficult to tell my wife about it. No matter how mildly I mentioned it to her, she would be deeply hurt. Honestly, she was a good wife. Every evening she was busy preparing dinner. I was sitting in front of the TV. The dinner was ready soon. Then we watched TV together. Or, I was lounging before the computer, visualizing Dew's body. This was the means of my entertainment.

One day I said to her in a slight joking way, suppose we divorce, what will you do? She stared at me for a few seconds without a word. Apparently she believed that divorce was something too far away  from her. I couldn t imagine how she would react once she got to know I was serious.

When my wife went to my office, Dew had just stepped out. Almost  all the staff looked at my wife with a sympathetic eye and tried to  hide something while talking with her. She seemed to have got some hint. She gently smiled at my subordinates. But I read some hurt in her eyes.

Once again, Dew said to me, He Ning, divorce her, O.K.? Then we  live together. I nodded. I knew I could not hesitate any more.

When my wife served the last dish, I held her hand. I ve got something to tell you, I said.

She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her  eyes. Suddenly I didn t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want to divorce. I raised a serious topic calmly.

She didn t seem to be much annoyed by my words, instead she asked  me softly, why? . I m serious. I avoided her question. This so-called answer turned her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! .

At that night, we didn t talk to each other. She was weeping. I  knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer, because my heart had gone to Dew.

With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. I felt a pain in my heart. The woman who had been living ten years with me would become a stranger one day. But I could not take back what I had said.

Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer.

A late night, I came back home after entertaining my clients. I saw her writing something at the table. I fell asleep fast. When I woke up, I found she was still there. I turned over and was asleep again.

She brought up her divorce conditions: she didn t want anything  from me, but I was supposed to give her one month s time before divorce, and in the month s time we must live as normal life as possible. Her  reason was simple: our son would finish his summer vacation a month later and she didn t want him to see our marriage was broken.

She passed me the agreement she drafted, and then asked me, He Ning, do you still remember how I entered our bridal room on the wedding  day? This question suddenly brought back all those wonderful memories to me. I nodded and said, I remember . You carried me in your arms , she continued, so, I have a requirement, that is, you carry me out in your arms on the day when we divorce. From now to the end of this month, you must carry me out from the bedroom to the door every morning.

I accepted with a smile. I knew she missed those sweet days and wished to end her marriage with a romantic form.

I told Dew about my wife s divorce conditions. She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she does, she has to face the result of divorce, she said scornfully. Her words more or less made me feel uncomfortable.

My wife and I hadn t had any body contact since my divorce  intention was explicitly expressed. We even treated each other as a stranger. So when I carried her out for the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly, Let us start from today, don t tell our son. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for bus, I drove to office.

On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. We were so close that I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn t looked at this intimate woman carefully for a long time. I found she was not young any more. There were some fine wrinkles on her face.

On the third day, she whispered to me, The outside garden is being demolished. Be careful when you pass there.

On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I seemed to feel that we were still an intimate couple and I was holding my sweetheart in my  arms. The visualization of Dew became vaguer.

On the fifth and sixth day, she kept reminding me something, such as, where she put the ironed shirts, I should be careful while cooking, etc. I nodded. The sense of intimacy was even stronger.

I didn t tell Dew about this.

I felt it was easier to carry her. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger. I said to her, It seems not difficult to carry you now.

She was picking her dresses. I was waiting to carry her out. She tried quite a few but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, All my dresses have grown fatter. I smiled. But I suddenly realized that  it was because she was thinner that I could carry her more easily, not because I was stronger. I knew she had buried all the bitterness in her heart. Again, I felt a sense of pain. Subconsciously I reached out  a hand to touch her head.

Our son came in at the moment. Dad, it s time to carry mum out. He said. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had been an essential part of his life. She gestured our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face because I was afraid I would change my mind at the last minute. I held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly, as if we  came back to our wedding day. But her much lighter weight made me sad.

On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. She said, Actually I hope you will hold me in your arms until we are old.

I held her tightly and said, Both you and I didn t notice that our life was lack of such intimacy.

I jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my decision. I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door. I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I won t divorce. I m serious.

She looked at me, astonished. The she touched my forehead. You got no fever. She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said,  I can only say sorry to you, I won t divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn t value the details of life, not because we didn t love each other any more. Now I understand that since I carried her into the home, she gave birth to our child, I am supposed to hold her until I am old. So I have to say sorry to you.

Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst out crying. I walked downstairs and drove to the office.

When I passed the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet for  my wife which was her favorite. The salesgirl asked me to write the greeting words on the card. I smiled and wrote, I ll carry you out every morning until we are old.
