WHERE IS YOUR HEART?

A lovely date for a lovely photo. The first and only time I took part in a photo competition. Thanks for the humbling recognition.
1st place in 2007 Tampines Junior College Photography Competition.
Taken with Canon Powershot A520.

MASIH

Cahaya kemerahan mengusir habisnya embunnya mentari
Sisa yang baluti nadi ceria siangan t’lah malap nyinsing pergi
Kecundangnya si srikandi,tumpahnya darah si hawa mengalir
Tersungkuh dari takhta pujaan,terlerai perjuangan dulu abadi
Apakah tercicir kasih sayang dalam semak kemelut kekacauan?
Apakah keganasan bebas merayau, biarkan ikhsan terus ditawan?
Masih kabur mata dunia,cengkaman pedih asap-asap percikan api
Masih keras hati dunia,masih enggan ganjak tegakkan paksi

-a tribute to the late Benazir Bhutto
I dont know if this is allowed but this malay poetry i wrote is very significant to the photograph.

Wa chaya lu ah Bro. Puisi buat org leleh ah. Tengah puasa tak bleh leleh, nanti batal.

A word of advice, if want to pursue architecture, can but be a practical architech that combines well for both practicality and aesthetics as well as functionallity. One eg is the new grey color design bus stops. Nice but not practical when raining bcos not sheltering people well bcos of the flawed design. a waste of resources.

RUNNING FROM THE PACK

Running.
You tiptoed; your feet gently caressed the floor.
You feign a fake smile, a fake laughter.
so you can run away.
But your movements so delicate
The winds don’t ruffle while you brushed, abreast.
But like the calm waters hid the calamities
under the blue.
But like a lone thread slipping away
you ran away from the pack

HERE YOU COME AGAIN

Here you come again
Just when Im about to make it work without you
You look into my eyes
And light those dreamy eyes
And pretty soon Im wonderin
How I came to doubt you
All you gotta do
Is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you
And in a little while
Youre messin up my mind
An fillin up my senses

-Dolly Parton


I witnessed a birdy love affair. Its quite melancholic when I saw the scene. There were two birds perched on the roof. They landed from the same flight. They stayed abreast for quite some time before one decided to fly away. The remaining one suddenly started to chirped loudly and the sound dimmed after a while. The bird did not move for minutes, just left alone. It triggered some kinda of sadness in me. I wonder if birds that met once can cross paths (or rather cross flights) once more. The sky is so vast that perhaps the one time they met would be their last.

LOSING MY COLOR

That purple tone no longer remain,
its overshadowed by the new one.
But my feets agreed,
to let the purple one stay,
though discreet, hidden behind what
i am now.

i like these 2. but it is a pity the first has his feet cropped out. also, prefer more sky in the second - perhaps the rule of thirds might be of use here.
