T'was the night before Christmas, when all through Law School,
Naked Lawyers slept; Anson, Jones all covered in drool.
The stockings were hung by the moot court with care,
In earnest hope that St Nicholas soon would be there.

The lawyers were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Deans Lists danced in their heads
cleavageman and so sue me snoring so sound,
mumbling numbers and football players all around.

lovelybones and ~ smiling sweetly to each other,
不要这样啦 and all the lawyers shudder.
No matter, green&orange dreams of ice cream and choco-late!
As undertheradar rubs his goatee and bemoans his short fate.

Hey Guys! calls out LovingYearningHurting in his sleep
Only to get smacked by funnyfriend somersaulting over sheep.
Hyperventilator giggles and squeaks and is oh so nice,
While depressed lawyer ponders how he gets by without a vice?

There goes skirtless and her ever present harem of boys,
She complains but we don't see them making any noise.
Then out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
clubemo sprang from his bed to see what was the matter.

What to his wondering eye should appear,
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer!
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
He knew in a moment it must be St Nick.

And then in the twinkling of an eye to his amazement,
The Naked Lawyers were all wrapped up with no further statement.
Shiny red, silver, gold and midnight blue,
And not forgetting pretty ribbons and tinsel too!

And so it was that that Christmas the greatest gift to be had,
Was the new friendships and love that the Naked Lawyers shared.
What new adventures lay in wait?
What exciting hopes and dreams to create?
Whatever it is they're sure to be broke at this rate!

So the lawyers slumbered on through the night,
As the warmth in their hearts grew and embraced them in its might.
But they heard St Nick exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"

Merry Christmas guys, excuse the mush but it is Christmas after all. Cheers!

-clubemohohoho
merry christmas guys!

soon we'll be heading off to bangkok :D :D :D

oh and, have any of the blogger people tried using the new version of blogger..? if it's safe, shall we switch to the new one instead? (cos it irritates me everytime the "NEW VERSION OF BLOGGER" nonsense pops out in my face.. :x)

oooooh.

19 December 2006

at first thought, the rain somehow lent the season a rather melancholic feel. but as i looked up from the book i was reading, i began to realise that the rain brought a kind of calmness that you don't expect from a thunderstorm. somehow the torrents of rain made me feel like i was the last person on earth. that there wasn't anyone around that might hurt me. made me feel like i had not a care in the world.

the weather took a respite, but later on, in the car at half past three in the morning on the way home, the clouds burst once more, this time with greater affliction. with the flurry of downpour falling in sheets on the windscreen; not being able to see more than 5 feet; with scattered reflections off bodies of water on the road; while the sturdy branches of the tree sway unsteadily, fighting against the relentless and lamenting wind; the tires skidding not less than 5 times, making me lose control, momentarily, of my car; passing a wrecked car at the side of the highway - all these brought a bit of fear, and yet brought a bit of tranquility. fear and tranquility do not go together, but yet at that moment they seem to coexist almost as if it was natural.

the rain brought danger but it seemed to wash away other fears at the same time. like taking a shower. we all take showers when we feel dirty. the torrent brought vulnerability but made me feel invulnerable. it covered the place with gloom, but yet it comforted me. the skies seemed to be grieving, but in a way it was a relief.

if you listened carefully enough, you could almost hear a requiem in the background, as if the rain was playing a death song. but then you could just as well have imagined a happier tune. not an euphorically enraptured joyous tune, but a gentle gratified tune enough to make you feel comfortable, ample to make you feel cozy... maybe even made you feel love. what kind of wicked fool feels love alone in a thunderstorm. well i did. perhaps you will too if you took a pause to look around you and let your mind wander.

somehow thunderstorms make us all feel alone. make us think more. make us feel more. i think this as the most apt way to begin christmas.



(on a completely different note, here's a video of i wish it would rain down i thought i would share with u guys. love the song. love you guys. its by phil collins featuring Eric Clapton.)

hey i know this seems gay n all, but in the spirit of Christmas and because im too lazy to write so many cards (give me ur addresses!) heres a shoutout to all of you nakedlawyers who have made my life really great these past traumatic months and who have touched me (emotionally) in one way or another; if i left you out its not becos i hate you but becos our feelings for each other transcends mere words or that you dun have a pseudonym

in no order of merit:

~: dude ive known you for some time now and you have always remained steady, reasonably nice, funny and tall. do continue to remain this way and persevere in growing your ponytail! and looking forward to more shopping for 8 hrs non-stop next year!!

club emo: hey ive also known you for some time i just never knew that you are like that, anyway keep up the good work and heres to the many good days, cold beers, rock concerts and fun trips ahead. (and true love waits)

under the radar: ok after all these years you are still quite a**holic sometimes but really you are damn funny and sch would be rather boring w/o you. heres to the canto karaoke sessions, (hopefully) drinking binges and hip-hop sessions in the future.

lovelybones: hey you are really great! i appreciate your taste in music and books etc i think you can be a really wonderful indie boho rock chick!! and lets just envisage the van on its road trip from london to glastonbury...

LovingYearningHurting: Guys!!! After all these yrs of dancing together i must say that you are a really special person and i'm rather happy to have known you. let's just hope that next june july we will all have lots of fun dirtying the school and scaring the kids...

green & orange: now most of the time i think i most probably did not mean it when i call you those things but its just great to see that priceless helpless expression so yea i will continue doing it!!! sTay cUte n fUNkyz alWayeS~

depressed lawyer: dude r u still depressed? i say f it man sometimes its just not worth the trouble.

skirtless: Hey! Thanks for bearing with me and the other sad repulsive guys! but seriously you are really kind and helpful and we are so lucky to have you ard. you are really like a mum to us *sobs*......

funnyfriend: glad to have known you better recently. do give us a chance to show you the ok go dance it will be great for next year!

so sue me: Thanks for making school such a beautiful place to go to! And the future lifts in your car! Always remember these words of wisdom: Remember to let her into your heart, so you can start to make it better! (yes they are 1 yr younger than you! )

the hk dude's cool fren: ok so maybe you dun post and you may not even read this but i must just say that you are a great guy and there are really some things i can learn from you. but i guess you know that already. lets do more meaningful things in the future and pick up some nice hk girls!!

Hyperventilator: hey you must be the nicest guy around :) and you never cease to amaze me with the things you can do and the naughty things you have done *winkz*!!! heres to the many unforgettable nights in hall......

sebastien: I think you are a really unique, erudite, magnanimous and conscientious individual and it is really my pleasure to make your acquaintance. lalalalala

the rest: hey, like, if i know who you are i can say something to you but i guess it's too bad...


OK! Have a great holiday ahead! Loof and Bangkok await!!!


cleavageman J.
to cleavageman j,
thought you might find this interesting, in light of your water-scene analysis.

Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy,
Hail our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve;
to thee do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn, then, most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us;
and after this, our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus:
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

i just heard it in church today. strange, innit?

-lovelybones
she who is always in my thoughts prefers
another man, and does not think of me.
yet he seeks for another's love, not hers;
and some poor girl is grieving for my sake.
why then, the devil take
both her and him; and love; and her; and me.
(bhartrihari)

words, wide night, carol ann duffy

somewhere on the other side of this wide night
and the distance between us, i am thinking of you.
the room is turning slowly away from the moon.

this is pleasurable. or shall i cross that out and say
it is sad? in one of the tenses i sing
an impossible song of desire that you cannot hear.

la la la la. see? i close my eyes and imagine the dark
hills i would have to cross
to reach you. for i am in love with you

and this is what it is like or what it is like in words.

This is a story
About a boy and a girl
Let me tell you something
Because if I don't it will

The boy made the girl angry
The boy made her mad
But the girl
Also made him very sad

And if I tell you anymore
The story needs more clues
But I'll save the story for later
Please indulge this lone fool

They say pride comes before a fall
And when that's all done with
Maybe you will find
That you're left with nothing at all

"Sitting here all alone in the middle of nowhere
Don't know which way to go
There ain't so much to say now between us
There ain't so much for you
There ain't so much for me anymore"

Dream-catcher



I found myself a dream-catcher,
Tangled strings and feathers true.
The complicated twining, weaving,
And the beauty of it, made me think of you.

Hang it where it can be seen,
Somewhere above your bed.
Feel safe from nightmares as you sleep,
Remember our time as you lay down your head.

May it protect you as you sleep,
Let only the good dreams come to you.
This dream-catcher that I’ve found,
I give to one who may be a dream come true.

oh, pish.

she could not kiss him in the lift
she was not ready to give her gift
(he flicked his stickshift, she got the drift)

she could not kiss him in the crowd
what? she said, as though the music was loud
(she was too proud for the way he growled)

she could not kiss him that late night
it would have been a sorry lack of foresight
(she might regret her plight come daylight)

she would have kissed him just last week
but the impulse faded, she was too meek
(now if he is piqued she would go eek!)

oh it's only a kiss, she would dismiss
maybe this so called bliss
is an abyss i'd rather miss

or maybe it's really all that it's made out to be.

The river was smelly today, though that was not unsual: odor, sluggishness, and mud were part of the Waters' moods. Like life, he thought; the silt and sludge unchangingly about you.
A freighter slipped by, heading seaward. Soon, it would exchange the river's loneliness for the greater loneliness of the ocean. He wondered if those aboard were aware - or cared.
Perhaps not.
Perhaps, like himself, they had come to learn that there is no place in the world where a man is not alone.

All of the king's horses
And all of the kings men
Couldn't put my heart back together again
All of the physicians and mathematicians too
Failed to stop my heart from breaking in two

Cos all I need is you
I just need you
Yeah, you got the glue
So I'm going to give my heart to you

Oh was a perfect day
Oh in a perfect way
You know, something had to go
You left me high, you left me low
Now as I lie in pieces, await for your return
The sun upon my forehead
It burns, baby, burns, baby, burns
An eye on all my horses
You slept with all my men
I'm never going to get it together again

No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when I’m with my Boo
Girl you know I’m crazy over you

Sitting under the stars and wishing you were somewhere else, away from all these stupid books, authored by people whom you've slept with on bed almost every night? Sentimentality kicked in today and this song brought back so many memories...

I Don't Want to Live on the Moon

Well, I'd like to visit the moon
On a rocket ship high in the air
Yes, I'd like to visit the moon
But I don't think I'd like to live there
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I might like it for one afternoon
I don't want to live on the moon

I'd like to travel under the sea
I could meet all the fish everywhere
Yes, I'd travel under the sea
But I don't think I'd like to live there
I might stay for a day there if I had my wish
But there's not much to do when your friends are all fish
And an oyster and clam aren't real family
So I don't want to live in the sea

I'd like to visit the jungle, hear the lions roar
Go back in time and meet a dinosaur
There's so many strange places I'd like to be
But none of them permanently

So if I should visit the moon
Well, I'll dance on a moonbeam and then
I will make a wish on a star
And I'll wish I was home once again
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I may go I'll be coming home soon
'Cause I don't want to live on the moon
No, I don't want to live on the moon
1000 points to the first person who gets it correct! :P But points are as useless as placing books under your pillow before you go to sleep...

throw in a rhyming pair
how they dare!
to call it
