Becoming Invisible
I'VE JUST BEGUN a new phase.
I've gone under the gun and behind
I've got to keep my head down...
nose to the grindstone;
No time to shake a leg.

shoulder to the wheel;
ears to the ground;
I've got to keep my eyes peeled.
I've got to peck and plug away, slog across the swamp...
I've got to peck and plug away, slog across the swamp...
No time to shake a leg.
Or put a finger on the pulse.
Or keep an eye on the ball;
my nose to the winds of Blogosphere...
I will be working my fingers to the bone. With all that pecking, will I still be perky, spot? Was I ever? I dunno.. I do know that my noodles will be in hopeless tangles or even fried by day's end. I am fairly certain I will hardly have time to think or mull or brood or connect here. I am sure I will be quite invisible... most of the week anyway.
Oh, by the by, what is the origin of "nose to the grindstone"? Is there a profession that actually requires you to give yourself massive nasal abrasions to get work done?
Never heard such? Never mind. Try this anyway.

So you going to be busy, take care and cheers.
Aiya th,
I'm going to toil and suffer and be deprived, lah. I might end up brain damaged wan. Then, I'll be posting cacat "I-so-pitiful' stuff. Where got anything to cheers about, leh?
wei, calentropous!
you got an axe to grind with me ah? :P
got that perky feel from dr. seuss i suppose, and some other posts, but yeah, pretty superficial assessment. :)
you are cryptic!
take care and remember to breathe occasionally.
calentropus,
you didn't see my emoticon with tongue sticking out meh?
I sure as hell could do with a lollipop now. :)
spot,
Dr seuss - I like, I love whimsy... some part of me refuses to grow up.
Cryptic? I find the much vaunted 'transparency' of blogs way overrated. On some things, I subscribe to not letting "daylight in upon magic"
And yes, as calentropus alludes, I love the liberty of dramatisation in blogosphere - the one thing I can't afford to indulge in real life. so yes, in this respect, somewhat 'perky' I guess.
I'm in some sort of a liminal zone right now, watershed to I haven't the foggiest idea what. Next two months will tell, I hope. Till then I'll prolly comes across yo-yo-like, I guess.
Thanx a bunch for the concern.

Very de "chim" ler your posts. Always drop by but dun understand a single phrase. -sweat- My English sucks ler! Don't torture me, ok?
How I wish your blog got some SayBox or Chatterbox for me to spam or say hi! Consider about it leh~! :P
Cause really too "chim" your post, I can't comment (as if I understand).
hey jason,
how sweet of you to drop by despite the incoherence of my posts. Actually, it's not really so much 'chim' as a different, erm... 'dialect' of ranting. lol!
The office server so overloaded, Saybox/Chatterbox will slow download of my blog. Don't want to be caught 'snaking' mah ;)
