I AM



I am: yet what I am none cares or knows,
My friends forsake me like a memory lost;
I am the self-consumer of my woes,
They rise and vanish in oblivious host,
Like shades in love and death's oblivion lost;
And yet I am! and live with shadows tost

Into the nothingness of scorn and noise,
Into the living sea of waking dreams,
Where there is neither sense of life nor joys,
But the vast shipwreck of my life's esteems;
And e'en the dearest--that I loved the best--
Are strange--nay, rather stranger than the rest.

I long for scenes where man has never trod;
A place where woman never smil'd or wept;
There to abide with my creator, God,
And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept:
Untroubling and untroubled where I lie;
The grass below--above the vaulted sky.

I Hate Monday, but Why?


Happy Monday people! Yup its Monday again and me, unlike any other normal people, I will always love Monday =) It's a brand new day, a brand new start... what is there not to love about?

Why do you need to be so negative and keep whining about Monday blue or I hate Monday or proclaim that Monday is the worse day ever? 

Is it your own opinion or thought that created a horrible Monday as the most dreadful day to go through, or is it just because it has been a saying that people has been passing it down since ages ago? 

Either way, its just another pathetic thought about Monday, and as a result, you are just creating space to accept negativity and ensuring yourself to be unable to enjoy what life has to offer for you.

Monday itself is just a word, a term to use to identify one of the 7 days in a week. What lies beyond that word is entirely fueled by your own thought, and whatever the outcome for that day; it is mostly under your control. Don't go through a day believing that your life has being destined to go bad.

So if you are sick and tired of sick and tired of Monday, then start to change your mindset. You control your own thinking and not your thinking that controlled you. Be positive about your day and be excited to explore what today's mystery has install for you.

Stop complaining and start doing some changes!

Really... I don't mind if once in a long while you feel dreadful about going to work or study on Monday, I had my lazy Monday too... but if the same thing happened every week and you keep nagging about how suck Monday is, and if your life had a face, I would punch it!

Enjoy your day people!

Fridge Magnet

by Daniel Chiam




I started to collect fridge magnet since the beginning of this year. Nothing intense, its just a casual hobby for me. Thanks to Chegu Carol for inspiring me with her own collection of fridge magnets.

Finally I have something to ask for every time when a friend is going to oversea *grin*.

I have collected many stuff before in the past, because I wanted something to be able to make me remember about them - my friends, or even strangers that was once significant to me.

I have like a treasure box back in my hometown, where I keep all those stuff. Mails from my pen pal, birthday cards, some broken stuff, birthday gift and some that I can't remember.

Sometimes, at the end of the day I will take out that box and just walk down memory lane. Remembering those friends that is still and was apart of my life. Wondering will I ever meet them again...

Fridge magnet is cool in many ways but most importantly, it could help me to remember them in the future :D
  1. Paris, France, given by Cindy. Her first visit to France.
  2. Taiping Zoo, Ipoh, given by Andrew. Its our New Year 2010/2011 trip with Sheyvin, Antonia and Yee Seng. Also my first time in Ipoh, Perak.
  3. Kyoto, Japan, given by Pierre. Its his family trip to Japan during Chinese New Year.
  4. Shanghai, China, given by Mikhal. She went there for a short semester just to learn Chinese.*
  5. Shanghai, China, given by Antonia. Her first visit to China.
  6. Hanoi, Vietnam, given by Yee Seng. His first visit to Vietnam.
  7. Praha, Czech Republic, given by Hsieh Ying. Her first visit to Europe and also her first gift to me, haha.
*Wronged info corrected, haha.

[Movie Review] Rio (2011)

by Daniel Chiam


Originally Funny 7.5/10


At first I was reluctant to watch this movie but after watching it, I can say I am far off from being regret.

The story was predictable but how does the story goes is really the actual fun and colorful part. The whole animation is just colorful to watch, in many ways it does cheer you up!

I love all the original jokes in the movie, seriously it will make you LAUGH OUT LOUD! The combination of Will.I.Am and Jamie Foxx is the most awesomeness, and you can't stop laughing every time the duo showed up.

A lot of epic moment in the movie, its not memorable but its sure is laughable. All in all, Rio is a chillax movie with great laughter to just hangout with your fiends.

Insidious Me

by Daniel Chiam


Every now and then I think of you,
mostly that's the only thing I can do.
Infatuation seems so harsh on me,
love is somehow just too far from reach.
You were always there but I am not.
I wonder when is this going to end?
Living in reality is such a pain.
Oblivious trust toward what was told,
verdict of fools is the one I hold,
Each day I make believe that I am yours.
You of course will never notice,
out of the dust I am no different.
Until tomorrow ends,
every moment I love you.
