Poem : Suicide in the Trenches (1918)

I knew a simple soldier boy 

Who grinned at life in empty joy, 

Slept soundly through the lonesome dark, 

And whistled early with the lark.

In winter trenches, cowed and glum, 

With crumps and lice and lack of rum, 

He put a bullet through his brain. 

No one spoke of him again.

You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye 

Who cheer when soldier lads march by, 

Sneak home and pray you'll never know 

The hell where youth and laughter go.

- Siegfried Sasoon

I knew this beautiful poem when I saw The Libertines' acceptance speech at NME Awards 2004. 

I love how Carl is dressed on the stage...

love you Carl & Pete <3

Journey to Indonesia 2

At Jimbaran beach :) I totally fell in love with the view. I tool a pic with the blue sky, sun, coca cola , ELLE magazine and my favourite music. That's all my loving !! I was like in heaven... I'm dying to come back again, haha :D My neon pink dress is from Topshop, got with 50% off ! In Bali island, there is a big mall named Discovery Shopping Mall in Kuta area. You'll see there Guess, Topshop, Roxy (there are so many Roxy shops around this area, not only in DSM. You don't have to worry if you forget to bring your bikinis ! :* ). If you want to buy high-brand bags and cosmetics, you can go to duty free shop. In some parts of Bali there are places you should not go because sometimes it could be very dangerous for tourists, so just be careful about it.
