Darkness falls upon an unbinded soul;
Hanging onto a cliff with crumbled earth.
Blindness takes over as it gets cold,
Wishing that it could go back to its birth.
Scarred; upon the words being read,
Only thoughts overwhelm its simple mind.
Numb; although it had been cut to be bled,
It had learn to not speak; nor whine.
Confused, of what's left in its world,
For it sees half of its own reflection.
It was never known to be vulnerable,
Not does it have its own protection.
It ponders only on the path it sees,
It was not known to venture elsewhere.
It will continue to walk over land, and seas,
To find its other half, elsewhere..
Speaking what my mind thinks.

Quick Survey
Original question:
Do you think that Starbucks is expensive?
- What a question. I tag Glacius to answer this. =P
My answer: Yes. The reason varies, actually. Economically and through marketing's point of view, the reason why Starbucks' branding in the States is very strong is because it's one of the cheapest coffee places around. Not San Francisco Coffee, or Coffee Bean, or any other places, but consider it over the states as Crap Coffee, where things are extremely cheap.
But that's the thing. It's cheap because the US Dollar is strong in its own value, and overall, Starbucks originated from Seattle. Definitely it's cheap there.
Whereas, when they brought it in Malaysia, and due to its variety in coffee beans (And the new seasonal coffee beans - Rwanda.. Stock just came in last night! Wheee), including of the taxes, including of the blind taxes, currency changes, etc...
Starbucks is considered expensive, only here in Malaysia.
But after joining with Starbucks, I realised that nearly puked while drinking Kopi Ais in a coffee stall because the coffee taste was too strong. In Starbucks, the coffee beans they use isn't Robusta, but Arabica. Where the taste is less stronger, but there's more flavour. And that's when the art of coffee tasting comes into play..
There you go, Ning. Lol.

Slay Me.
I'm slowly drifting into another universe, forgetting what's reality ..
And sometimes, I can't tell the difference between reality, and dreams..
Now the dreams are overuling my reality .. And if that continues to happen, my future will be screwed...

Cease To Exist.
There is a part of me that I wish to get rid of.
.. Maybe soon. Just to get away from everything. For the better.
.. Maybe soon. Just to get away from everything. For the better.
A New Experience.
Today, as you know, I mengamuk'ed and merajuk'ed at my scheduling manager for stuffing me at The Curve for Wesak's Day.
But honestly, the environment there is better. Except that the bar was kind of .. small.. It's hard to move about and all.
And the best thing is, instead of listening to the usual Starbucks music, there was a pub in front of us, and damn! The band there was playing Little Wing by Jimi Hendrix.. My all time favourite, then Van Halen's Jump .. and then Hotel California by The Eagles.. and ... and..
It really put me in the mood to work.. Although I was kind of slow .. I could've done better over experience.. But..damn, I guess I'm not prepared to handle a busy store.. Had a brief shot at it. Honestly, I nearly died.
But all was over when I kept on listening to ... Worthwhile, reviewing its mistakes, flaws, and getting more ideas of what to put in the near future..
Still in the arrangement stage, and there will be no preview for this song until ... Well, I feel like it.. XD

Progression.
It is beautiful.
Because of the glorious blessing of my internet connection being down at the moment, I actually sat down and started working on Propellerhead Reason 4.0, and started searching for the right sounds.
The right instruments.
Although the thing that puts me off is that I still don’t have a proper keyboard to sit down with and to hit the notes, instead of clicking them into Propellerhead Reason, but.. Whatever. My inspirations came in at the wrong timing, once again.
Then I switched off the fluorescent light in my room, and switched on the evening sun, as what I would call it, and it put me in the perfect mood.
With the light shining over the screen, over my progress, over my soon-to-be masterpiece, it really put me in that ambience. That emotional ambience. That perfect feeling to be in touch with nobody, but myself.
Digging into myself, asking myself questions of another language:
What do you wish to speak? What are you thinking? What comes across your mind, NOW? What are you thinking? Is this a sad thought? Is this a liberating thought? Is this a..
And all that, written into a bar. Not even writing with a normal pen or pencil, but musical notes.
Yes, I have finally sat down, and I'm working on the instrumental version for Worthwhile. I might be recording vocals over it, but.. I will consider upon the results.
Oh.. my ... God..
It..sounds so beautiful............................................................................
I found my sanctuary for the moment... And.... and... I'm in another universe..
