The Innocence Of Youth

[moonrakerz]

Wrote another photo-accompanying poem for my friend again after a lapse of one week he asked me to write it. Like a collaboration kind of work. I tend to have this habit of procrastinating when I'm not inspired right away. But today, the inspiration is back. Must be the kid in me coming out, as I'm heading back home to KL for the Lunar New Year

Thank you! Hope you had a swell holiday too!
What's your name btw? How did you get to know about my journal? :)

[moonrakerz]

Pleased to be acquainted with you, Lenz.
I think we will have quite an interesting exchange of ideas/comments in the near post.

Happy Lunar New Year, sweetypie! I wish you much joy and love with your family! :D

You and your friend work well together. Your thoughts run deep. I never contemplated the love of a child for it's mother. To me the line that really got me was

"the child can ignore the pains of truth
and be just contented, be secured
in the embrace of his beloved."

Happy Lunar New Year to you babe! I had a great time with my family and friends back in my hometown. :)
I think the best Lunar New Year in the last 5 years..

Pleased to hear that some part of the poem captured you in some ways.. how are things there? Since I added you on MSN, I never saw you online..

[empress_miyu]

I'm so glad that you had such a great New Year.

Things are pretty good. I'm working on the next book and thinking about going to an art fair. I have been online a few times when you were but you were "away." I thought about sending a hello so that you'd know I was there, but I thought you might be sleeping or something and hearing the "bling" of a new message might disturb you. :) I probably think too much, don't I?

[moonrakerz]

I'm glad too, Ben. A lot of things happened quite unexpectedly and quite out of the blue.
Just like I never imagined going all the way to another town 1½ hours away from where I was, with my best friend to meet neuy and we meet quite a few nice people there in the process.

I'm happy that you're working on a new book, that should keep you busy for a while. Do message/mudge me the next time you see me on MSN, even if I am "away". At least I know you are there... *winks*

interesting words .... I am adding you .. I have met you before .. and now u knoe one of my best friends ... will see u again when HE returns from that land of leprecauns again ..

Happy CNY and keep on writng ya !! *hugz*

[moonrakerz]

Hi Felix, I remember you. Thanks for the feedback and for adding me.
When you said, one of your best friends, did you mean neuy?
He's one of the best buddies I've ever had!
But your other best friend, Alan; it was a pleasure meeting him too.
Now he's like my brother-in-law.. *grins*

Happy CNY to you too, will keep on writing, you too yeah. *hugs*

[seaweeds]

Was referring to Alan coz he and I went to law school together .. and it was ME ME ME who pushed him out of the closet .. HAHAAHHAHAH

As for Neuy ... now I dunno whether Neuy is my SISTER in law or Brother in law .. and .. I dunno whether to be the BRIDE's maid of the BEST man ... HAHAHAAHHA ..

all very confusing for me .. also too fast too fast too fast !!! I cant keep up .. *pant pant*

[moonrakerz]

Just as I thought! ;þ It's quite amazing how things are turning out.
Just like you and Alan have been great friends for a long time..
and have quite a bit in common, friends in common.
Yes, I have this idea that Alan is quite a discreet person and your being a hug influence did a lot of good to nurture him into a pretty decent xiao bao bao or in this sense, bear bear.. *grins*

In this age, so often people are confused with their identity, still. eheheh... whether they want to be Madonna or Diana. Dr M or Pak Lah. A bitch or a hero. An angel or a devil.

Too fast? I thought you're already keeping up well with your cardio workouts? hehe.. heard you're quite a regular at Cali..

its been great

[guynxtdoor]

the few long conversations we had during CNY has somehow widen my horizon of your inner world...and I thank God for that.

u r a great guy and i do look fwd to know you better

peace,
ed

Re: its been great

[moonrakerz]

My honour getting to know you, Ed. Those phone calls and conversations we shared were definitely engaging, enlightening and it was really a great start to the year.

Clara has been an inspiration, and I'm sure she will continue to be a good model to you, but I'm confident you are a good leader as well. :)
Be strong, I'm sure the issues at heart will be resolved eventually.
