Day 22 : Powdered Snow

Taken from 'Remioromen - Konayuki'

We always miss each other in the season of fluttering powdered snow
Though we're lost in the crowd, we're looking up at the same sky
And blown by the wind, we both feel the same chill I'm sure
I don't know everything about you
But still I found you out of a hundred million people
I have no proof, but I truly believe that
We can't spend time together without quarrelling over little things
If we can't be honest with each other, happiness and sadness are empty
If the powdered snow had made our hearts white
Would we have been able to share our loneliness?
I want to press my ear against your heart
And descend quietly into the depths where that voice leads me
Let's meet there once again I'm the one who said
I wanted us to understand each other, but just brushed the surface
When just by holding your cold hand we're connected
With eternity before it, the powdered snow seems too fragile
It stains the surface of the rough asphalt
Powdered snow, sometimes I'm unreliable and my heart is swayed
But even so I want to keep protecting you
If the powdered snow has made our hearts white
It will enfold our loneliness and return it to the sky

Another one bites the dust. 'Shiok' was great, it was perfect but I guess like the Bee Gees said in their song, nobody gets too much heaven no more.

Day 21 : Kenangan Terindah

Aku yang lemah tanpamu
Aku yang rentan karena
Cinta yang t'lah hilang
Darimu yang mampu menyanjungku

Selama mata terbuka
Sampai jantung tak berdetak
Selama itu pun aku mampu
Untuk mengenangmu

Darimu kutemukan hidupku
Bagiku kaulah cinta sejati

Bila yang tertulis untukku
Adalah yang terbaik untukmu
Kan kujadikan kau
Kenangan yang terindah dalam hidupku
Namun takkan mudah bagiku
Meninggalkan jejak hidupku
Yang t'lah terukir abadi
Sebagai kenangan yang terindah

Darimu kutemukan hidupku
Bagiku kaulah cinta sejati

Day 20 : 23

Taken from 'Jimmy Eat World - 23'

I felt for sure last night
That once we said goodbye
No one else will know these lonely dreams
No one else will know that part of me
I'm still driving away
And I'm sorry every day
I won't always love these selfish things
I won't always live...
Not stopping...
It was my turn to decide
I knew this was our time
No one else will have me like you do
No one else will have me, only you
You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine
Amazing still it seems
I'll be 23
I won't always love what I'll never have
I won't always live in my regrets
You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine
You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine...

Day 19 : C.O.D

So here we go, the infamous and I must conclude, the best drinking game in the history of mankind. Circle of Death.

The breakdown:

1) The 4 GOLDEN RULES of the game:

- NO swearing throughout the game.
- NO finger pointing during the game.
- NO calling of actual names during the game.
- NO participant is to mention the word drink. 'CONSUME' would be the word to use.

Participants practicing anything against the rules will have to drink 1 sip.

2) The game can be played either by individuals and in certain cases, if the crowd is too big, in pairs.
3) Every card depicts a certain action that has to be completed by the individual.
4) Upon completion of the game, that is with the final King, the individual who draws the card must complete the task of finishing whatever the group has set out in the beginning.
5) Teams can be set up accordingly by drawing cards from the deck. Pairing will be done according to the closest numbers, starting from the King and ending with the Ace.
6) During the games, team members will have to elect who will play the game.
7) Games are to be played one at a time. No two games can be played simultaneously.
8) For both Question Master & Chin Master, there may only be one of each at a time.

Here are the explanations of the cards.

Ace - The individual/teams drawing the card is required to drink 1 sip of the alcohol he/she has

2 to 6 - Individuals/teams drawing the card can elect other individuals/teams to drink the selected amount of sips. 2 meaning 2 sips, 3 meaning 3 sips and so forth. Sips can also be split amongst the individuals/teams playing the game.

7 - The '7' Game. Multiplications, additions, subtractions and divisions of the number 7 cannot be mentioned during the course of the game. Instead, participants are required to 'CLAP'.
Eg: 1,2,3,4,5,6,'CLAP',8,9,10,11,12,13,'CLAP'(2x7=14),15,'CLAP'(1+6=7),'CLAP'(17=contains the no.7),'CLAP'(8-1=7) and so forth.
The '7' game can also be changed to the '5' game.
Eg. 1,2,3,4,'CLAP',6,7,8,9 and so forth with the same rules applied to the game.

8 - The Toilet Card. Without this card, no participants of the game can 'chuck a piss' or 'chuck/spew/barf/puke/vomit' unless it is really necessary.

9 - The Question Master. Participants holding the card will be the Question Master until the next 9 appears. Upon the arrival of the new 9, the previous 9, if unused is considered void.

Eg: For the scenario, the Question Master will be Nicholas.
Question Master: So, Andy, is it your turn to draw a card?
Andy : Yeaps. It's my turn.
( In this case, Andy has to drink 1 sip. )
However, Andy can counter the question, if he's sober enough to think by answering:
Andy : But you're the Question Master.
( By doing so, the Question Master has to drink instead. Andy is absolved from drinking. )

Participants are also enabled an opportunity to catch the Question Master offguard:
Andy : Nicholas, are you alright to drive?
Question Master: Yeah I'm alright.
( This way the Question Master drinks a sip. )
Similar to the above, the Question Master can counter the question by saying:
Question Master: But I'm the Question Master.
( This causes Andy to drink a sip. )

10 - 'Superhero'. There are 4 super heroes in the game.
Superman, Aquaman, Catwoman and Spiderman.

Participants with the card will do a countdown, and select a superhero. The rest of the group following that of the same action as the participant with the superhero card, drinks a sip.
If there comes no one to do a similar superhero, then the process repeats itself till someone is caught.

J - Topic. Any topic under the sun. From Car brands to different shades of colours. The list is endless for this particular game and participants failing to continue the circle will have to drink 1 sip. When it comes to this game, the sky's the limit.

Q - The Chin Master. The participant with the card decides when he/she places the finger and thumb (shaped like a 'tick' mark) on their chins. Last person to do so drinks 1 sip. Rules to the Question Master are also applicable to the game.

K - The first to the third King adds however much of liquid into the 'Community Cup' preferred by choice. The person who draws the last King, will have to finish up whatever is in the 'Community Cup'. The last King also marks the end of the game.

I would like to personally thank The Basement Crew for making the game known to me and allowing me to cherish its fun.
To Team M.A.D.S & The Fookchow Family as well as JC & Co. for sharing its fun with me and also to all those who made this game beautiful.

Day 18 : Your Highness (Revisited)

I know I've failed you when I said I was to be there.
I know I've let you down when I said I was no other.
I'm trying to make it up to you.
And I'm giving all I can to be given another chance by you.
I'll keep seeking your forgiveness till I'm forgiven.
I'll go on being the best I can till your loving.

For the many things I couldn’t say,
For the many thoughts in my mind they stayed.

You’ve been an inspirational encounter,
A special soul with no contender,
Now tomorrow’s only moments away,
And there’s so much to learn of your flawless ways.
From the very first time it was serendipity,
Then it turned out to be more than curiosity.
For once sitting down with you became perfection.
Your defining moments makes all the attraction.
If only I knew you at a different time,
If only I knew you at a different place.
I would have went all out and not hold back,
And for now this is me not holding back.
A person crossing paths with another is destiny,
Making something out of it takes passion and creativity.
Maybe one day I’ll learn to paint a million portraits of you
Maybe some day it’ll be none other than you.
I have nothing but paper and my words,
Praying I’d see you once more; my utopian dream 3 times fold.
If only I knew you at a different time.
If only I knew you at a different place.

I wrote this because the first time I saw you, I knew you'd be the one to change my life. I've been clouded with my emotions, dithering away with my inconsistency, following only that of whim. After all that we've been through, be it just as friends, the distance, the disagreements, I realised, my heart beats for the pretty girl I've been blessed to meet, know, and more importantly learn to cherish. I'm sorry, Ploy.

Day 17 : Would You?

Would you hold my hand in my trembling fear of uncertainty?
Would you be the one to make my life whole again?
Would you take my worried mind and quiet its stormy thoughts?
Would you wipe my sweat when I'm down with a fever?
Would you kiss me on my forehead when I fall asleep before you?
Would you forgive me if I said the wrong words and let you down?
Would you take my heart and make it your own?
Would you blind yourself to what I am?
Would you love the person you become when you're with me?
Would you go the distance and look back only learning from the past?
Would you smile and say 'Smoke Me, I'm your nicotine from today forth'?
Would you still feel my heart beat when I am left without expressions?
Would you come down and save me from the darkest abyss?
Would you be my light when I am lost in uncharted waters?
Would you share a dream, a life, a love with non other than me?
Would you be strong when I falter?
Would you be willing to start a journey filled with the beautiful presence of 'You & Me'?
Would you still love me if we were to part from this good earth?
Would you patch my broken heart?
Would you touch my soul?
Would you share the same God as I do, the same believe, the same desire to be under His feet one day?
Would you? Would you? Would you?
I know I would.
