find me the keys
to unlock the doors of perception
throw me into the land of acid
drop me into the reception
find me the joy of one
well, isn't it just down the alley?
where we all explode in unstoppable orgasm
let me go
just let me be
take a hit, say, purple haze?
'scuse me while i kiss the sky

joy of one equals joy of all
kick the doors open
find the answer to your own question

i woke up with a headache
i woke up with a backache
of 'round 'nam my brain travelled
where mines blow up and i trembled
and charlie and the NVA around
what does those stars and stripes mean 
didnt innocent viets go down to these cold bullets
hey what, did i hear you guys saying liberation?
why do you guys in green insist on killing?
how does it feel in there man 
swingin' 60s

man, where am i now?
oh i know,
and i said, hey lord
i saw you on tv last night
you were tormenting lost people

oh hi lennon, how's life now
i see you and yoko on the bed!
power to you!

hey jim, i hope this will come to an end
my beautiful friend

back and forth this being in time
how 'bout few years back eh?
i go where my brain brings me
what ? now they're going nuclear?
ohh wait wait... its goin' away!

ok no more hit left.

the establishment might not be too happy
'cos they find us all crappy
hah, what lousy rhymns!

the authority's massacre of the barefooted.
hell, that aint gonna matter,
kill us again and again
that freak flag for your downfall shall rise 
with more pride again and again.

every two seconds a child starves to death
didnt we say we wanted to help?
didnt we say we wanted to care?

smiles forever gone from their faces
wiped away by the silent sorrows and leaving no traces

forced into selling themselves
forced to face the horrors of the world
yet, we still refuse them any help
they live for only scarred memories that will continue to overwrite the previous
with plagues and diseases looming 
elepantiasis, leprosy, aids, what's next
what's going on?
forced into working for factories
where a pair of sneakers would equate to their overall bread
house made of cardboard that crumbles with rain
is their a silver lining to all of these?

people would rather spend money on arms 
people would rather spend money on war
did we stop to ponder what it's for?
do we know millions are begging for alms?

give them wings of freedom so they can fly
give them skies of hope and stop the cry

when we embrace their beauty
don't we all find our hearts beating
after such a long pause?

chaos chaos chaos chaos
blood blood blood anarchy
tell me myself and i was it my fear of pain
take away myself so that i cant escape the pain
with joplin cruising in this mescaline imagery

piercing truths to ending journey
with legacies of hendrix and morrison in print
it makes me feel good tho
to die and to get high
while gettin high is now known as the cliche
it was the train of fuckin modern times ahead
that stabbed the culture of the living

flee flee flee easy bitches
to your town where the black bus stations
sing the blues on the guitar
shout and play the art of the beat
cry and weep the soul of the hip
thrust forward like the patented elvis
get on the road and live on the highway with dylan telling us about revisiting 61

this come easy if you try
floating pistols and flying knifes 
you guys gotta open your eyes to the lonely hearts' club band
with lucy with diamonds in the sky
fly to vietnam to stop the band
north and south just let them be
be thankful to live

where lao tzu will be happy to see the way was the no-way
where siddartha would seek nirvana
tell me again and again if this seems to be
how about the concept of trinity in the brahma
is this the balance that we dreamt of?
the heartbeat of the world?

the magnum opus of mother nature's son with the white album
nomadic existence and fuels for freedom
charles manson with his posse with helter skelter
shit guys run when you see the black bus

alone in this burglary of life
go fuck establishments

search within yourself the words of nietzsche
do not fear the allegory of the cave, cos death ain't worth a dime
let go of your gripping hands 
let your fingers loose
faust was tempted but had to return 

strip naked and embrace the power of nakedness
just ask adam and eve before they ran
it is clean just being
did you say dasein, heidegger?
fuck fuck fuck c'mon baby take a chance with us
echoed jim morrison

ride that black VW up and remember not to return.

dont want to be the truth
dont want to see the truth
cover my eyes from this 
cover my ears from this

depart to the river of crimson recounts
tell me what you see from the river of life
tell me what christ imparted to the impulse
tell me people what the lord gave to you?
was there anything in it to speak of?
leave the human puppets to fend for themselves

bloods left to dry
humans plead to cry
colours don't run from these creed
don't surrender to the human tyranny!

fight for the fight
for the land and for yourself!
muttered the tubby geek
why marcos and co. went to shoe shops
lil kim with gung-ho obssessions
the king of the new world indulges in golf
thousands of whys in the millions of ways

hey they don't seem to be the ones 
to even give us a glance
was this the definition of god?
what's left of my shadow?
is it myself?
or was it myself?

nietzsche walked on love street
before long he reached the juncture 
send me my zarathustra he shouted 
whats goin on... there should be him... i am thy jester
what! In Flames said it must be the jester race...
what what isnt it music chase?
ahhh!!! Its a matter of life and death bring me that ben breeg
stand there alone like the silent rain
after dylan preached the problems of the shoeless homeless
we feel much less
to comply... put a blanket over me
but make sure it's dry

unload everything in the brain
cross the road... dont look left and right
cross it naked...
cross it bewildered... but remember to raise your hand...

wait wait what am i talkin' bout,
it should be bout nietzsche and existential works
worry i will now wonder if i can swallow 
hey this was an ad ok! they can claim copyright
but my attempt at jokin' wasnt of much effect
i shall wear my yellow suit and be like mercury

the entire paragraph was invested with unknown gibberish!
ha... what do you think... it's god's creation ain't it?

Friedrich Nietzsche

15/10/1844 ~ 25/08/1900

The polemically sent iconoclast, the free-will of mankind, and what it all stood for, the judgements of mankind?

"The falseness of a judgement is to us not necessarily an objection to a judgement: it is here that our new language perhaps sounds strangest."

"Under conditions of peace the warlike man attacks himself."

"He who despises himself still nonetheless respects himself as one who despises."

you get on the bus
you see all around you herds of people
you start to feel the rush
you start to experience a ripple
the ripple of empty heads 
the ripple that will cripple
oh what the heck
c'mon what's goin' on?
people all around... papers white as snow
with words cold as death
and yet the dead went into the heads
bring me back the truth for i will plow
sheets upon sheets of fuck
crawlin' underneath the borders of the ruck

tired eyes and blurry thoughts
watch me escape!
I wanna do a houdini... but can't seem to find the genie
ok then... criss will be my angel
what's going on around you
asked the man
the herd around you responded with nothin'
what a fuckin' cretin
the herd must be wondering
his dorm must have that wooden bridge
who cares if shells are drop around the middle
shell is a petrol station
who cares if some guy kills a young girl
it ain't my fucking problem
muttered the herd in unison
the man looked around only to find more of the same breed
he could not find the reason
but gave up on inculcating his creed 

what lights up on the silver screen 
do we even know?
can we find a way out of the silver screen
'cos we are inside it...
we're fighting it... but its swallowing us

what is it like to be mad?
asked the most unassuming of the lot
do you think you can measure madness?
muses the man
the man had to continue
madness is within the realms of yourself
do not try to for a second think that it is in halves
'cos i for one cannot define what is madness
is doing whatever you feel like doing mad?
at this moment the man stopped
only to notice the questioner robbed
of his slavery 
of the bondage to the herd of heads.

Criss-cross lullaby of lashing shrills
Cats fallen and buildings debris
10 fallen feline lost of one their nine lifes
Tell me the artillery was given by charity
'cos they seem never-ending and ever-ready

Find me somebody to blame
be it the cluster of eastern heads in the middle
or the brave new world
what nice asses, what nice chips at the stakes
Chips in the form of lives
Chips in the form of blood
livin' in golden resources of nature
which folks pulled the trigger on the deed
they need to get him beat
so they came advance on their creed
Bodies decorated pathways of the glorious takeover

The fight will begin...
remember the fall of their empire?
They needed that twin peaks to pass on the golden pot to the grass
number 1 down... number 2 down
backdrops falling... raining debris

It was them... 'cos... it was them...
Or more specifically... it was him
the man with the notorious beard
with arms of everlasting magazine
Crazy son-of-a-bitch went on tv... largely as a spoof
Hell... we must get him... The grass must strike
Identify the beard 
Get in!
More green mannequins were pulled by strings above
Run kids... Sammy boy will give you the biscuits

Oh but the mannequins gave it their all but can't get it done
shift to the neo-revolution... switch to the decree of liberation
get the man with lots of biscuits so the grass can give you yours
knee-high boots captured in rat-hole
He was now the only one left... refusing to give in...
Damn... we need the alcatraz back

Echoing in the background...
Run... run... run... go... go... go...

Take him back to the cell
The grass grace with stenches of a golf ball
as the kat manifested 
what... those stupid feline can wait... they're ok...
they're tanner right... c'mon survive they will
Felines forcefully committed actions of debauchery
innocent smiles forever gone
no more love was fond
Drowning in that stupid kat's fur..
Damn now rina is back to put me in noah's world

ok sure... whatever... 
west on tv spouted music as he was drowned out with noise
yes... what's next... surely it can't be worse than that...

Hah... so david is going at their neighbour
wait wait... what are you guys doing?
You guys need more chips! 
Lemme help you guys... said the grass and the witch
Gimme back my fucking mannequin... and david will stop... 
wait wait... the coffee can't cure shit... lucky it's his last run...
the corq... young ceasar... who else
shame on you grass and witch
okay okay...
stop stop...
stop fighting in front of everyone...
it's just too bright for our eyes.

Giraffe: Damn those stupid lions, I can kill them with a single kick

Lion: Hmmm... Yum yum... How about a zebra?

Zebra: Damn I just wanna eat my freaking grass

Grass: What the heck... I just happen to be at the first position in the food chain... Argghhh!  Stupid ants get off me...

Male Ant: After copulation, I must die

Female Ant: C'mon baby!

Along came two with human traits

"How 'bout a little cafe where the giraffes are, a small animal museum around where the lions are at, a small gift shop where the zebras are drinkin’ and some ants for snacks?"

Thus ends the story of recurring irony.

Kaleidoscopic vision of the dropping mask
Microscopic perceptions of the dripping escape

Run till the colours fade away
Run till the shamanic preacher arrives to play

Kiss the soot and caress the sun
Sit and await the train
The train of departure
The black curtains and solid berth
The libertine of sole-rides

Run to the lizard
Celebrate the reptile
Preach to the shaman tales of the deserted wind
Preach to the lizard the tales of the forbidden sarcophagus
Liberate the rift of vertical mandrakes 

Flashy blades of the seasoned devil
Killing flesh and worshipping rivers of crimson facade
Who knows the recounts of the devil
Oh... bring me thy light...

Bring the darkness to my fight
Cast the brightness off this tide

Rainbow people
Flying arowanas 
Swmming camels
Moths of suicidal tendencies pregnant with rites of fuschsia oranges
Polka dots on the deep purple sky
Checkered squares of black swallowing the blue lions 
Violet nature contrast with crimson nurture
Arising fingers of turqoise trait
Where is the black lizard
The purple lizard
The raining lizard

Rain... Volcanic eruptions from the sky
Lava of green man, red man, blue man, purple man
Eyes of rainbow and tangerine faith
Dragons offering its worship to neon green boars
Neon green boars offering its dragons to dotted machines

Be good... the train is here...
The shaman is back...
The lizard is back...

Rainbow skin and dark ambience
Dark skin and rainbow ambience
Ambience rainbow and skin dark
Skin ambience dark rainbow and
And rainbow dark ambience skin
Skin and rainbow ambience dark
Rainbow dark and skin ambience
Ambience dark rainbow and skin
Skin rainbow dark and ambience
Dark and skin ambience rainbow
Rainbow ambience skin and dark
Dark and skin ambience rainbow

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Crash! Crash! Crash!
Ash! Rash! Crash!

Remember shaman... it was that golden mandrake
That silver elephant
The bronze lamb
That jeweled phallus
That train...
That rain...

The symbolisms of this picturesque depiction of hedonisia attempts at aiming for a trivium landmark of the inconsequential. The mundane gates of the colours cast a light of egregious gorgeousness on the foreboding likelihood of hindsight. 

Was the towering ability of the casting light onto the ebony darkness relating an allegory of its own individualism?

Was its existential touch devouring our notions of time, life and death?

Dashing across unknown realities seemed to concur to the agnostic disposition of nothingness. Wherein lies the placebo of nothingness, wherein lies the traumatic recurrence of the blank edges of nothing. Wherein wherein stood for the nothing that represented the thing through much blurry juxtaposition.

Was it the nothing that ceased to be, that abandonment of that something, that concluded in the infinite chasms of the empty?

Singapore's Chen Lei


















Singapore's answer to Chen Lei, spotted at a getai in Holland Close.

Just got back from watching a getai at Jurong West. Those amazing spotlights that light up the stage and sound from the booming stereo surrounding the stage was the bomb! I've always felt that I was missing something whenever people talk about getais. Now, after watching two getais this past week, and I must say that, hell, getais are really an intrinsic part of Singapore's culture that must live on. In Freddie Mercury's words it should be "The show must go on!"

Where else can you find a getai, an area for dinner and auction and an area for teochew opera all a stone's throw from one another. Heck, a lady singer even belted out songs like Bao Qing Tian, much to my delight. In the meantime, competition from the neighbouring auction area started as the performing Dragon dance troupe performed and drowned out the sound from the getai. Not to mention the blazing spotlight that even managed to paint the HDB flats across the road with different shades of the spectrum. Once again the getai community paid tribute to the late King of Hokkien Pop, Chen Jinlang who passed away on the first day of the Hungry Ghost Festival due to colon cancer, by selling his CDs to those who were present.

It's also been close to a decade that I last saw a Chinese opera live. This was a teochew one, man, I don't even understand teochew! That aside, I would say that it was a great experience, though I felt that some of the opera singers were not giving their all. Oh well... could be only me? Was also interesting to see the auction, where the host was shouting away though he had a mic... and to see that some just didn't care about him and thus carried on eating. 

Man, loud acoustics, loud clothings, loud actions, loud auction host, loud opera... This is Singapore.



Oh yah, and not to forget, the cars-stopping, people-stopping, hearts-stopping and camera-flashing fireworks display. Majulah Singapura.


All these events this past week certainly takes away the pressure of living in a world of terror threats and bombings. Please give peace a chance...

You know you've entered the realms of Singapore if you've experienced these:

1) "Aiyah nobody do that kind of things why you do for what!"

2) "Eh you see everybody doing that lah... then why you didnt do?"

3) When "lets apply for a HDB flat" means... [?]

4) "Eh wahlao eh, the taxi fare, bus fare, mrt fare go up again ah?"

5) "Wah si bei suay, 4D jua tam po tio ah, tio ji bo tio lui!"

6) Education means getting a high paying job.

7) When "feel like crying all the time?" means you're suffering from depression.

8) "Must go buy toto, strike that $10m dont need to work already!"

9) "Referee kayu lah, that team damn kelong lor, nah bei su lui liao lah!"

10) Money No Enough
