Constellations

A thousand years ago, the sky was lit with hanging stars. A thousand years ago, people saw the same stars that we're seeing now. A thousand years ago, was oh-so different from now.

I saw the Orion in the dust clouds, the Big Dipper adorned on wedding dresses. There's no sound that's more beautiful, than the rustling of the earth, and the leaves.

And up in the distance, I can see a star, sitting near a street light that it couldn't bear to leave apart. And it's in these like this everywhere if you'd just take off your glasses, and realise the world isn't as dark as it seems.

And constellations remain the same... They never change. Ever.

Ever felt homesick? Experiences sometimes may tell us that home is better but then again, it's all in the mind.

He was walking along the quiet quiet road, on a cold cold night. With the lights shining upon his path, he slowly thread into the unknown. Homeless, with no where to go, he never looks back; he never thinks the future. The road before his feet was long and toil, and he didnt, nor anyone can see what stood ahead.

Dressed in rags with a little little limp, he tries to warm himself by hugging. His story was never known and was never told.

As the saying goes, "ziu xi shi wei le zou geng chang de lu". That is, resting for a longer road ahead... in mandarin. Oh, i forgot to say, he speaks hokkien with a zing of chinese littered in between his sentences.

You never knew, but he sold tissue paper packets by the day, and he drank all his money away in the night. Oh yes, he drinks. Drinking drinking drinking...

Push/Pull

I stood in front of an entrance at kfc at 12am

The door had no push/pull sign. I scanned from top to bottom but neither is there a handle. I tried knocking it but there was just a cold clank coming from it. Then i remember how doors were supposed to be.

Square, rectangle.

Hinges, keys.

Handles, knobs.

I stepped back and take a look at the door again, and realised it wasn't and ordinary door. Now i took a look at it again, bewildered. I saw a tag at the top right hand corner. It read...


"Protected by Cisco Co.
Electronic Sliding Door"


It really makes you wonder how we perceive things as they are. How are doors supposed to look like?

When one door closes, just kick it down or saw a hole in the wall.
