Reminiscence
if there's a 're-'
then I'd choose reflect
if there's a 'de-'
then I'd choose defect
and if there's a must,
then,
i must choose not to dream that far.
Not now, nor ever.
I've left my footsteps behind,
yet bit by bit it came lingering,
in light would I be that kind,
but in pain it constricts and binds.
this path i wish not to follow
now i must abide, with or without sorrow
let my heart be in hollow,
so long i be the best of borough.
fantasy, dreams, imagination,
reality, screams, hallucination.
I'll lead this way with thorns and bugs,
though I'd prefer many corns and hugs,
nothing pays in the price of shrugs
with me being,
a piece amongst those worn out rugs.
Love may cure, it may also poison,
I seek to endure, God let it all moisten.

Distance
Yes. it is the furthest destination I'm going.
and i will do it wholeheartedly
i will use all of my strength to avoid that place, that space.
and yes, i know, it's going to be painful,
sad, frustrating.
hurtful, bad, and irritating.
because i've once chosen that road, that path, that intuition,
that track, that trace, that sensation.
yet God showed me otherwise
and with plain logic, He explains why.
"You don't belong here."
red sign boards, red stars,
red neon lights, red fluorescent moon,
red welcoming board, and the traffic light,
red.
it's the clearest premonition of all. distance, is no longer a brawl.
though my end and others remain the same,
i have to sought another plan,
though i may still linger and frown, that frame,
i have to have distance, and become a man.
this life is His, and His only. I'm just a passenger,with His grace, I'm not lonely.
and i will do it wholeheartedly

It's never mine
Fresh air revolves
amongst the buds of pale coloured daffodils
of the greenery and the trees
and of birds and their chirps
a Spring to Spring, alive
the season of bloom
though flowers may seem lively,
and the sun shines so brightly,
still come the rain with all its might,
showers nor sprinkle alike,
reigning gloom upon the light
putting cheer out of sight
once the bulb blinking again,
I reach my strength and stand to regain,
things I thought I could own and touch,
and not having to have, to hold a grudge.
So wrong was I to think of such,
nothing in life is mine to rush,
I should have sit, or lie in hush,
in the end,
I wouldn't have to resent as much.
and the daffodils stood still and soft,
with the sky opens, aloft
those petals I thought I could just grab,
was never mine to hold,
and my Spring is now cold.
Moments too many can be recalled,
in words nor figures shall it falls,
May not I be the one for thee,
and thy for another,
May God still brings me the other,
though, regretfully,
thou may still be that another.
Never mine to take, never mine to own,
Life's a journey, God let me not be on my own.
The Broken Glasses,

VISA PAYMENT
This is the extract i've obtain from the
http://www.vfs-uk-my.com/payment.aspx,
the official website for Visa applications branch in Malaysia which HAVE BEEN POSTED, EMAILED FEW TIMES ALREADY by MS Jen and others. So PLEASE READ THIS THOROUGHLY and don't allow yourself to make careless mistake or ask questions which does not leave a good impression to yourself unless you are willing enough to pay RM976 for the second time and go through all the hassle all over again.
Channels of payment:
1. By CASH across all Alliance Bank Counters (NOT through the cash/cheque deposit machines)
2. By CASHIER'S ORDER/BANK DRAFTS issued from any bank and can be submitted at the VFS UK visa application centre and payable to "VFS (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd." payable in Kuala Lumpur only.
3. By online fund transfer if you have an Alliance Bank savings or current account with personal internet banking access (alliance online PERSONAL) to Payee Corporation: VFS (M) S/B FOR UK VISA FEE, Account number: 14185-0-01-001313-7,
Please note: Options 1 to 3 are surcharge free. Applicants using options 1 and 3 must wait until the next working day after making their payment before submitting their visa application and supporting documents at the VFS visa application centre
For option 2 applicants can purchase a cashier's order/banker's draft from any bank and submit their visa application THE SAME DAY at the VFS UK visa application centre, during opening hours.
If i'm not mistaken, Ms Jen has already instructed us to NOT TO PAY for the VISA as yet until all forms have been filled in.
My opinions about the method of payment:
1. For me the first option is quiet a nuisance because you have to open up a new account with the Alliance bank, which is not so popular among us and the fact that most of (at least i would) be paying in bank drafts will make it more difficult if things don't go as planned.
2. the online option is a complete NO NO to me. For me, no matter how strong your connection is, things will easily get haywire when you are dealing with internet banking. I know i have my bit share of it when booking the tickets to Sabah. One common phenomenon is that after you have clicked the 'pay' button you'll have to wait a few minutes before it can suck in the money you have transferred. And most likely, during that time, the connection will either shut itself off or it will become very slow that you yourself choose to reload the page. Once you reload it, that's when the problem gets really annoying. You may ended up being considered as have not paid the fees and have to go through all the fiasco all over again and of course loose A HUGE AMOUNT of money. You'll need to have an Alliance acount which only add up to more headache.
3. Since we are all going down to KL, maybe perhaps it'll be easier if all of us, if possible pay by BANK DRAFTS at the VFS counters because:
1. All of us will be paying with the same method and if one of us face some problem we can solve it on the dot. Plus you might not get so nervous if yours is problematic
2. You can have the bank draft from any banks convenient to you which i think is very convenient since not all of us have the same choice of banks except for BSN.
That's all for now. Again as a REMINDER. PLEASE go to these websites,
http://www.vfs-uk-my.com/
OR
http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/
AND READ!!!!!!!!! ABOUT THE VISA PROCESS. DONT BE SUCH A LAZY BUM WHO ONLY 'HEAR' THINGS FROM OTHERS AND DONT WANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO 'YOUR OWN' SUCCESS IN MAKING YOUR WAY TO WARWICK.
