Joke of the day
Alex Teng May 2019
When you get older,
You will face two weaknesses,
First, you will forget easily,
Second, I can't remember

What attracts man
Alex Teng Oct 2019
Woman's smile, for example, attracts a man;
but an even temper retains him.

A pretty gown attracts a man;
the knowledge that it was inexpensive delights him.

A pleasant manner attracts a man;
brightness of brain holds him.

A knowledge of how, when and where to be a little stately, attracts a man;
an appreciation of the folly of frivolity, wins his respect.

A respect for the religious belief of every human being attracts man;
irreverence in woman is to him abominable.

A consideration for his comfort attracts a man;
a continuation of this makes him your humble slave.

A chat which there is no malice, attracts a man;
neither scandal nor evil speaking make a woman sweet and lovely to him.

In times like this,
Most of us love ourselves too much,
We tend to forget,
Love is more about sacrificing.

Men's pain
Alex Teng Dec 2019
Why alcohol taste so bad,
Yet man can't quit,
Because a man's pain,
Can only be swallowed in his stomach.

Drinking is just a temporary paralysis,
Life goes on after waking up,
A man's pain can't be told casually,
Because they are carrying a whole family behind them.
Alex Teng Jun 2019
Be the extinguisher,
Stop the candle from burning herself out,
From the matches that are trying.
All won't happen without air (fate)

Take a shot or you'll never know,
Your heart will tell you when it's time to move,
Ask yourself what you gotta lose.

Eye contact
Alex Teng Jul 2019
It's when we fall into slumber,
When we cry, when we remember,
Through the short times that we've shared,
For all the pain we compared,
It's when I looked you in the eyes,
It's when my heart couldn't lie,
For the hundredth of time,
You've hurt me inside,
I still can't let you down.
286 · Aug 2019
It's hard but it's true
Alex Teng Aug 2019
The fact that you hate me now,
Meant a lot to me,
I have succeeded,
In my own way,
To ensure that I won't be in the way between you two.
Stay safe and keep the smile girl

I don't
Alex Teng Jul 2019
I don't hate you, although I should.
But I'm grateful for what you did,
It made me stronger and happier.

Thank you,
Because of you,
I learned what I deserve and what I don't,
Between what I want and what I don't need,
Between who to love and who to let go.

I will teach you a way
To see the one you love right away


How much do you love her
Even such an obvious lie
Makes you sway ?

Be
Alex Teng Sep 2019
Be
Sometimes I wonder,
What would I be,
If I didn't made those mistakes,
Would I be happier,
Would I be stronger,
Would I be able to make my parents prouder,
Or would I be a loser,
Or someone who's prouder,
Someone who lack the empathy,
To sympathise those weaker.

Education
Alex Teng May 2019
Gas chambers built by engineers,
Children poisoned by chemist,

Never cry for
any relationship in life,

Because for the one

deserve your tears.

And the one who deserves,
will never let you cry

Be the one
Alex Teng Mar 2019
Be the person who cares more,
Be the person who tries harder,
Be the person who loves stronger,
Be the person that gives more of a **** than all the half alive people surrounding us.

Be the person who answer the messages,
Be the person who shows up to commitments
and doesn't leave others guessing or doubting their worth.
Be the person you wish you were dating,

If you are sick of the love game then stop playing it,
If you are tired of the ******* then get out from it.


Because the last thing this world needs is another leecher.


If you are the only one left with burning passion in your heart, use it all.
At the end of the day ,
Go out with a broken heart that gave too much and love too strongly.
Go out with the fact that you've given your all
and didn't hold anything back even tho it hurts.


Because it's definitely a much more fulfilling way of living than the alternative.
It is always better to die trying than living without knowing.

Joke of the day
Alex Teng May 2019
Men are born between a woman's leg,
And they spend the rest of their life,
Trying to get back in between them,
Because there is no place like home !

I would like to express my gratitude to my parents

It has been difficult for both of you from the day I was born ...
I was born with my small and large intestine twisted...
I was sent to hospital several times because of asthma...
I had a lot of accidents since I was small...
I was stubborn , naughty, playful , and a hyper kid ...

It was difficult for you  raising up
A child like me


I wish I was better ,
I wish I was healthier ,
I wish I didn't let u shed a tear,
and I wish that I can make you happier....

For those tears you shed for me ,
Because of my accidents,
of my stubborness,
or even my wrongs,
I'm sorry...

I can't turn back time to change those events,
But I promise that I'll do better this time ..

Thank you for giving me a chance to see this world ,
Thank you for raising me up ,
Thank you for providing me a shelter,
A place I could find comfort ,
and I call home..

Thank you for enduring me,
I was a stubborn kid ,
I made mistakes I knew I shouldn't,
It was a learning process,
For me to find my true identity,
And I thank you for helping me ,
Helping myself to discover me.

When I was small,
I promised myself to let you proud,
And to let you shed tears of happinness,
But sometimes,
I don't do it well..
And I knew you were dissapointed for myself,
So thank you for giving me a opportunity to change,
And thank you for your efforts in raising me up.

A better world
Alex Teng Apr 2019
We all need a shift in perspective from time to time,
The world is selfish because humans are flawed,
And because of that,
we often take even the simplest of pleasures for granted.
When is enough truly enough?

When you complained that the food is not tasty enough ,
Remember there are kids begging for leftover just to stay alive.

When you complained the sun is too hot,
Remember there are people who can't afford clothes to keep them warm.

When you complained the job is hard,
Remember there are people who sacrified their life for the job.

When everything turns out wrong for you in life,
Remember that you are still alive.

You might not be able to change the world's perspective  at a day.
But we might be able to do that one person at a time.

It all starts from you.

Clueless
Alex Teng Apr 2019
Before you think that nobody loves you,

Remember that,
Someone somewhere sometime
has secretly cried for you,
prayed for you ,
and sacrified for you.
I'm an atheist tho

Heart
Alex Teng May 2019
Always too soft
Crying alone till the dawn
Loved without regret without hate
You ain't that strong at all
To take responsibilities all by yourself

It's easy to fall in love
It's difficult to communicate
If it's not yours,
Don't force it

Why can;t you fall asleep ?
Are you still missing her ?
Aren't you tired of loving ?
Even tho you know she ain't coming?

Trying to love someone bravely,
To treat her wholesomely
Too bad she ain't taking it
She won't even flinch
At the sacrifices you made

You can't be thinking
To always be the good one

So let it go
Just let it go
Forget it like she says so

It ain't worth waiting
If she ain't coming
You should be thinking
About how you doing !

Butterfly
Alex Teng May 2019
He feels so ugly
That the only way he can find some peace
Is to share his pain with others

You aren't what he said  
You are the opposite
Find your butterfly

He hate himself so much
That he believe that the best way to feel beautiful is to make others ugly.
Stay safe and stay strong

Depths
Alex Teng Apr 2019
Someday someone won’t be afraid of how much you love.
They won’t stay on the shore; they’ll meet you in the depths
You weren’t made for shallow waters,
Your heart is an ocean.

Hurt
Alex Teng Apr 2019
I don't know what's killing me ,
The guilt of loving you,
Or the pride of leaving you.

Some say it painful to wait for someone
Some say it's painful to forget someone
But the worst pain come when you don't know whether to wait or to forget

If you don't heal what hurt you,
You will bleed on people who didn't cut you.

Intimacy
Alex Teng May 2019
People think intimacy is about ***
But intimacy is about truth
When you realise,
You can tell someone your truth
You can show yourself to them
You can stand in front of them bare
And their response is
You are safe with me
That's intimacy.

Lost
Alex Teng Mar 5
In silence, I fear the growing space,
A whisper of doubt I can't erase.
Her laughter shared with another's ear,
A friendship that I can't come near.

The miles between us stretch and bend,
And I wonder if this will be the end.
A male friend's smile, her trust, her light,
Am I losing her to the quiet night?

Moon
Alex Teng Apr 2019
The moon is a loyal companion.
It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.
Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.
