Hardwork

Saw another yellow colored sports car on sat night,
wondered aloud why people seemed to like yellow sports cars so much.
My fren gave an answer which amused me to no end,
"Perhaps" he said, "they always dreamed of being a taxi driver".
Although it does not sound that funny when i think about it,
it was hilarious to me when i first heard it.
So credit to Gage for making me laugh.

Went to the I.T. fair in suntec over the weekend.
Together with the food fair being held one flight up,
it felt as though the whole of Singapore was there.
It was just humans crowding one another,
stepping on each others toes,
jostling for space.
Scary.

Think i'll skip the next I.T./Book/Food Fair that comes along,
hell, think i'll even skip going to towns on weekends.
Crowds just make me feel uncomfortable,
i'm a person who needs personal space.

I'm runnin' outta patience for this city state,
i used to think that i would like to live here for the rest of my life,
sure i'll go experience the outside world,
but here is where i'll always call home.

Recently however, i've began to change my mind,
i feel that singapore is getting too crowded,
everywhere you turn, there are people.
There's no privacy wherever you go.

Even at home, the most private of places,
you're still not totally alone.
Nosy neighbours who can hear every raised conversation,
every sound of passion or anger.

Give me a wide open space where i can run free,
where there is a star-filled sky every night,
where a kiss can be shared underneath a tree,
where you can catch the Sun's first and last light.

a place where i can be me,
no necessity for pretence.
no stress, no exams,
just simple enjoyment of life itself.

The stress must be getting to me,
sigh, the exams are nearing,
guess i should study hard,
i've no other talents other than studying,
and i'm not that great at it either.
