HAVE A LITTLE FAITH IN ME

When the road gets dark
And you can no longer see
Just let my love throw a spark
And have a little faith in me
And when the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try
And have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
When your secret heart
Cannot speak so easily
Come here darlin'
From a whisper start
To have a little faith in me

And when your backs against the wall
Just turn around and you will see
I will catch, I will catch your fall baby
Just have a little faith in me

Well, I've been loving you for such a long time
Expecting nothing in return
Just for you to have a little faith in me
You see time, time is our friend
cause for us there is no end
And all you gotta do is have a little faith in me
I said I will hold you up, I will hold you up
Your love gives me strength enough
So have a little faith in me

DROP THE PILOT

I'm right on target
My aim is straight
So you're in love
I say what of it
Things can change
There's always changes
And I wanna try
Some rearranging

Drop the pilot
Try my balloon
Drop the monkey
Smell my perfume
Drop the mahout
I'm the easy rider
Don't use your army
To fight a losing battle

Animal, mineral, physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need
I'm the one you need

You're kissing cousins
There's no smoke
No flame
If you lose that pilot
I can fly your plane
If you want solid ground
Come on and try me
Or I can take you so high
That you're never gonna wanna
Come down
Drop the pilot
Try my balloon
Drop the monkey
Smell my perfume
Drop the mahout
I'm the easy rider
Don't use your army
To fight a losing battle

Animal, mineral, physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need
I'm the one you need
I saidAnimal, mineral, physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need
I'm the one you need
I'm the one you need

THE WHOLE OF THE MOON

I pictured a rainbow
You held in your hands
I had flashes
But you saw then plan
I wondered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon!
The whole of the moon!

You were there at the turnstiles
With the wind at your heels
You stretched for the stars
And you know how it feels
To reach too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon!

I was grounded
While you filled the skies
I was dumbfounded by truths
You cut through lies

I saw the rain-dirty valley
You saw brigadoon
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon!

I spoke about wings
You just flew
I wondered, I guessed, and I tried
You just knew
I sighed
But you swooned
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon!
The whole of the moon!

With a torch in your pocket
And the wind at your
You climbed on the ladder
And you know how it feels
To reach too high
Too farToo soon
You saw the whole of the moon!
The whole of the moon!

Unicorns and cannonballs,
Palaces and piers,
Trumpets, towers, and tenemets,

Wide oceans full of tears,
Flag, rags, ferry boats,S
cimitars and scarves,
Every precious dream and vision
Underneath the stars

You climbed on the ladder
With the wind in your sails
You came like a comet
Blazing your trail
Too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon!

SLIMEBALL JUNIOR

I was online at Yahoo Messenger when out of the blue one of the guys I used to date said hi.. and started chatting with me. I used to date him quite intensively a few years back and we broke up because while he enjoyed my traits etc, I didn’t fit with his vision of the demure docile bride….. so ok.. fine. By Malaysian standard, I’m more the spunky smart type… I don’t fall in love too often and that was a really serious time for me. It was very very complicated that I had to go away when he got married and that’s another reason why I welcomed the chance to go away and do my masters degree. So, ok… that’s fine. On my Yahoo Messenger, I always appear offline just to him so he never bothered me before and the reason why I put him on the permanent offline was because in the early months after his wedding, he met me online and started the conversation with, “Hello Princess” to me… I mean what’s up with that? You go “Princess” your wife, not me! and he just got married and starting to crave my attention again. Obviously he liked the way I treated him. Just not brave enough to commit. I started to get the heebie jeebies and just made my excuses and put myself on permanent offline to him. Sorry buddy, I don’t do married men. I get too much of that as it is.

It has been a couple of years so I figured that what’s the harm so I took off the permanent offline label and started to appear online to him again. I thought the passing years would have changed him a bit and he said hello to me again today and starting to talk about wanting other wives… I mean how twisted can you be? And I told him don’t talk to me about that. It gives me the creep and he said that I’m being too sensitive. And that he was just kidding. Kidding or not, I told him I’m allergic to talks about polygamy especially when it comes from him. Damn right I’m sensitive about it. I‘m disgusted is more like it.

I’m not saying that he wanted me to be a second wife or something, it’s just that I knew him before and before he got married, he would have never said things like that. How come when he gets married, suddenly he feels that it’s appropriate to talk about that? I mean, what happened to him?

I did meet up with him for lunch about a year or so ago… and as I sat there and looked at him, I wondered what I ever saw in him. Yeah, he was good looking and all but no substance. All fluff…. God really did me a favor there… It hurt so much when we broke up but it’s all good in the long run.

Just want to share my disturbing online encounter with one of my old boyfriends. Sick…

JANGAN ADA BENCI

Andainya ada di antara kita nanti
Berubah hala serta janji
Jangan ada benci
Suka dan duka dilalui
Jadikan kenangan di sudut hati


Andainya cita-cita tidak kesampaian
Ikatan murni terputus di pertengahan
Jangan dikesalkan
Jangan lantaran kegagalan
Kita saling berdendam saling bermusuhan


Ungkit-mengungkiti
Sakit-menyakiti
Memusnahkan diri


Kita harus tabah dan bersedia
Cekal hadapi kemungkinan yang tiba
Kadangkala yang berlaku
Di luar kemahuan kau dan aku
