Peranakan and their lovely dresser tables,lush

In Malay-speaking terms of southeast Asia,the term" Peranakan " means "child" or "born of"

and is usually referring to people of mixed Ethnic Origins.While the focus of Perankan Chinese are main forming communities,there are Jawi Perankan(Indian muslim) and Chitty Melaka(Indian).

They have been very inspired by Straits culture and the western influences.Which is why their gorgeous home furnishings is so victorian and sometimes Mediaeval inspired.

The taken one...

Dedicated to the unrequited ones

The poem- The Taken One

His white hands strained and skittish.
As he walked out of the hospital,He briefly looked at me,
just like any patient or passer by.
He walked right into the crowd and disappeared among the ocean of people.

That moment I was crushed,hit by a car,I felt my heart cracked ,my emotions bruised.
At this moment,dark clouds gathered and approaches,as it threathen to rain.
It started as small droplets,and as it hits the ground,big blobs fall,pitter patter as it came.

The rain came,washing away ,my pain,my panic....
Drowning deafeating thunder drown out my sorrow.....
Is this the feeling one gets,as the unrequited one??

He said/she said..

He said/She Said

He said He will always love me forever,

She Said She'd always cherish me,

He Said He would be my best of friend,

She Said She would be my best partner,

He Said He listens to my stories,

She Said She will always laugh at my jokes,

He said He will always hold hands with me,

She said She will always give me bear hugs,

He Said he will sees me till i fall asleep,

She said She would kiss me when I sleeps,

He Said he will never leaves me for another,

She Said She will love me like the Right one and the only one............

The last wolf........

Some of my thoughts are always penned through words..a bit pensive and sombre...

Here it goes.....

Feeling like a lost lone wolf,

I ventured out in the open.

Without any trace of the pack,

I was lost...Wondering in aimless route,

robbed of time and deprived of direction...

The Bellowing Wind catching away my rapid breathing..

Treacherous beating of the Rain,drowning away the sound of my

heartbeat...Brushing through the branches and breaking off the Dust and particles.

Cutting off what that was in its way,killing with no mercy..

The drumming Beat of the patter drops,goes to and fro...

Leaving a soft hum in my ears...

As I tread on,my silhouette merged into Darkness

and I Disappeared ......
