SIMON & RACHEL

I'm in 'La La Land' after taking cough syrup this morning on an empty stomach. Been sick, frustrated and demotivated cause small hotels like us always don't measure up to the guests expectations. What's wrong with @THSH? I know that the building is old and needs an uplift, but its tough running this place with all the legalities, manpower constraints and financial restrictions. Many people assume that it's a walk in the park ... well let me tell you, its not, and it 's no stroll by the beach either way .... Problem is, there is rumours in the hotelier circles that big corporations are eyeing us for a takeover (since years ago, but I'm only 6 months old here!) ... I feel it's sad cause then @THSH will most probably become a boutique luxury hotel and I will have to say 'Bye Bye' to all you beautiful brides and grooms out there....... so much for believing that @THSH should remain as a community-ish model of sorts with events on the side ....

And then came Adam. Adam again? Yup, just plain ol' Adam! Not the Adam you are thinking about I bet, but Adam Ong ... the most consistent photographer from Touch that comes to my place for a photo shoot. The one who gave me a wrong blog address the last time. You remember him? Bet not. Well, to be honest, I have been poisoning Adam to try and take new angles and poses for Pre Wedding Photos here @THSH, cause if you can remember, I said that most of the shoots by Bridal Houses in Malaysia are very similar, due to time and budget constraints. What I really like about Adam is that he is always very bubbly and loves to exchange a few banters with me.... Appreciate that. So, whats the result? Be the judge of that yourself!

ME & YOU (A duet/dialogue)
Another 'haiku-ish' free form by Hotel Station Master

leaning on the wall
eyes wander towards yonder
frustrations inside

leaning on the wall
hearts a flutter with doubt
where can you be, dear

lift your spirits,love
for I am here, awaiting

go, tunnel of life

lift your spirits, love
for I await you, wanting
forever with you

I cannot fathom
why you'll want me, forever

for confused am I

I cannot fathom
why you'll stay with me, forever
doubts blur my heart

have courage my love
a pillar for you, to lean
throughout confusion

have courage my love
a beacon of light, I give
to clear your doubts

man are blind, my dear
committing and providing
material wealth

man are blind, my dear
they give up easily, for gain
forgetting themselves

look to the stars, love
neither commitments matter
but your guidance, seek

look to the stars, love
neither wealth or gain I seek
but the warmth of love

shelter me now, dear

as I embrace you, together

your strength in silence

shelter me now, dear
I was foolish, doubting you
longing your comfort

through the Storm, love

you and me, together, us

our love now stronger

through the storm, love
undying flame of passion
ignites a new beginning

Me & You

-end-

First and foremost, @THSH would like to Congratulate Simon and Rachel on their nuptials. May you be blessed with loads of health, wealth and prosperity! I must have met them in passing but always too busy 'arguing' with Adam .... ha ha ha. Ar well. Anyway, eh, Adam, how come you make your series like 'sepia' like that ar? Want to capture the rustic feel is it? Later people complain @THSH look like haunted house again. (Argh!). Also, this haiku-ish poem was written in my 'La La Land' mood .. so apologies if it looks weird, must be like writing a poem when you are on LSD, CRACK or DOPE in general ..... ar well.
