Hello There

The world is moving at break neck speed.

So many years had passed. Where am I now?

Am I getting there?

Where would I go from here?

Am I trusting what I am believing now?

Changes

People are generally uncomfortable with changes.

It's hard to accept a change, when all your life had been organized in a certain way.

A change is necessary to help you adapt to the situation.

As you slowly embrace the change over time, why is it so hard for people to accept the changes you've made?

Are they reluctant?

Are we just plain stubborn?

Ungodly Hour

Don't talk, don't say a word
Cause your eyes they tell me more than your words
Don't go, don't leave me now
Cause they say the best way out is through

And I am short on words knowing what's occurred
She begins to leave because of me

Her bag is now much heavier
I wish that I could carry her
But this is our ungodly hour

I know you're leaving now
Cause i held on to my way tightly
Stay still until you know
Tomorrow finds the best way out is through

And i am short on words knowing what's occurred
She begins to leave because of me

Her bag is now much heavier
I wish that I could carry her
But this is our ungodly hour

Love this song. Just love this song.

Circles of Life

I haven't been updating my blog for a while. So many things had been happening in my life that needed attention. Majority of my time were spent at work. Work poured in endlessly. Just the daily grind we called Life.

People under pressure were generally cranky. They get short tempered. Anything can tick them off. I find that rather amusing, I like to pull their triggers. Those little things make me laugh. I have my fair share of worries and things to take care of, to finding a way to amuse myself about all that fuss makes it easier to swallow.

It makes life more colourful too.

I came to a point in my life where I start see the bright side of things like never before.
There had been a few rollercoaster ups and downs, but I managed to ride out them nasty waves. There were hardships to deal with on a more personal aspect of life. With all the joy and fun comes the cold hard reality. It really bites when it bites.

It takes a lot to understand what your own needs are.
It won't be a straight line race to the finish line.
It's not a straight line race and I am racing against it.

Having Hope gives something to look forward;
Having Faith solidify the aim of making things happen;
most importantly, to have complete Trust is the foundation we will be building a future on.

Walk On

Tranquility

There were moments of indecision.
To do or not to do.
Again, I was doing things based on feelings alone.

There were tough moments.
There were moments I broke down.
But this time around, it was easy to see where the thorn was.

I'm walking on thin ice and feeling oddly good about it.

Happy Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese New Year.
It has always been the time of the year where I look forward for family dinner, gatherings, social gambling and social boozing.
(wth.. hate it or not, little bit of alcohol creates the warm atmosphere and it gets people talking!)

This time around, it'll be a very memorable one.
There were moments.
But I'll be smiling.

=)

Have a good one, people.

Looking Back

This is the year that was, 2008.

It had been a rollercoaster year.
There are things that I've done wrong, I could have done it differently.
There were no regrets in any of the events that took place in the course of 2008.
I've learnt to trust my gut feelings, instead of obeying the logical mind behind this face.
I've also accepted that there are things that you can't explain by words alone.
There is more to it than words can describe.
I learnt to trust my feelings.
Like I never did before.

I used to be a logical thinker.
Things must be practical, backed by facts and visuals.
It had always been that way.
It had been like that because of my upbringing.
I was taught that feelings alone will not get you what you want.
There are still room for occasional bursts of impulsive acts.
Spontaneity is still very much part of me.






For a better 2009. Cheers. Happy New Year everyone.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone.
how's the celebrations?

Mine was superb. I Overslept and missed the fireworks. In a haste I grabbed my camera and went out only to realised I left out my memory card.

Gah...

Would you believe that? Anyway I can get a good view from my place, can see the one at Genting and various parts of KL. Just missed the perfect photo opportunity, cos I did not do my homework and slept instead.

Anyway, here I am sitting at the airport waiting for the next flight out cos I Overslept. Read again: Overslept. Gah. Signs showing, I'm getting old. I blame the good weather and too much sleep the evening before. Sigh.

Happy New Year, folks.

(licking my own bitter wounds for not being punctual. And definitely paying a hefty price)

There are things money can't buy.

Civilised, at last

It's been a long time since I last took a ride on the Putra LRT. A year or two perhaps? I'd rather get stuck in a jam within the comforts of my car rather than swimming in a sea of pits and foul smelling coaches. Gah.

Call me spoilt.

I was at Masjid Jamek station just two days ago. The newly renovated station makes a clean appearance. Except that its abit deserted, and no one knows what to do with the extra spaces; other than the illegal street hawkers. Same old escalators, same ticketing counters, just as many people as before. Nothing has changed, aye?

As I waited for the escalator to reach the platform area below, I was speechless. Did I see lines? As in people waiting in lines to get on the train. Hey, this is by far the most civilised of Malaysians I've ever seen! Everybody was waiting patiently in line, no one was getting edgy, frustated and making a scene out of the long wait. No grunts, no sighs.

All they need is a Rapid employee shouting orders at people; assessing the situation and directing them to shorter lines. All they need was one man with a Loud voice.


Switching to trains anytime soon?

Blue Skies

You say you don't discriminate, but you do mind if one of your friends get involved in one. Isn't that indirect discrimination? You can't bring yourself to accept your friend's decision to get involved; cannot bring yourself to accept their choice. Then you decide to play God, and decide what is right and what is wrong, what should be done, and what shouldn't be done.

Before anyone can ask for acceptance, they should be able to justify their decisions. It doesn't mean that you are obliged to hold yourself answerable to everyone, the public, the society on all questions regarding this particularly sensitive issue. Even though you owe no one any explanation, you still need to be able to explain to yourself.

It's about being able to explain yourself; why you chose to be; and why you want to be; and not expecting everyone to be seeing things on the same plane immediately.

What do you know about acceptance?

Distinctively Yours

There are things that must  be clear cut. No in between. No compromise.

A Cambodian couple decided to saw off their house into half after a divorce. -.-"

Now, tell me about clear cut. That's a whole new level of divorcing.

Take My Hand

Life is a rigid, sequentially executed list of programs.

Fresh out of your mother's womb, learn to crawl, learn to walk, learn to talk, learn to talk back, go to school, secondary school, college, university, get a boyfriend, get married, have kids, educate them. etc etc etc. Lastly wait for the Grim Reaper to come for you.

This cycle has been passed down for countless of generations.

Breaking the preprogrammed guide on how one should live their lives seemed out of norm. People don't usually do that; often brushed it off saying why should anyone challenge something that were proven to work after so many generations? 

Lack of faith in Novelty? Or were they simply afraid to thread off the beaten path?

Do we require formality in ALL things? These are not business deals. Not something you give, take and sign papers. With money back guarantee? God.. These are real feelings we're talking about.

They are just going through the motions, perhaps?

Selamat Hari Raya, Malaysia

The thing about us Malaysians is that, we really do forgive and forget. 

Wait a minute, I don't think it happen very often, but at least we will do that in the spirit of any festive celebration in the country, provided there are 'rumah terbuka' - whereby endless sumptuous spread of festive food is served - FREE OF CHARGE. 

No one felt uneasy about race relations; damn right we aren't, we've been living together for the past how many years? 51. We still don't know how to disagree rationally. It was because some idiots decide to question differences and make it their agenda to save their own sorry ass, we have to live through hell created by them.

Free food = Good crowd

So, did anyone get me any ketupats from Pak Lah's open house feast?

Selamat Hari Raya, maaf zahir dan batin.

Accuracy of Death

How would you feel if you were to find out that life and death is decided upon by one of the many Grim Reapers?

Who are they to decide who lives and who dies, based on their outlooks on your life which they don't have the slightest idea about, besides coming to claim your life when the time comes.

Seemingly plain and simple things can be important; it brings meaning and purpose to life.

Freedom Writers

Haven't seen anything great lately on HBO, until this. A must watch.
To pen down the deepest of thoughts, feelings, suffering and pain in the raw is most honest.

"Justice doesn't mean the bad guy goes to jail, it just means that someone pays for the crime."

""I don't even know how this war started. It's just two sides that tripped each other way back. Who cares about the history behind it. I am my father's daughter and when they call me to testify, I will protect my own no matter what."

What Was

A stretch of space separates us.

There were responsibilities,
choices and decisions.
There were moments of doubts,
empty spaces to fill.

I don't remember dreaming, for a while now
Was I contented with life that I need no help from within?

p/s: Happy Birthday! =)

Through My Eyes

Most would agree that people see things differently, despite the fact that we see through the same organ of vision as everybody else: the eyes.

The difference relies on the depth of understanding, regardless of subject; abstract matter, object or simply, a person. The interpretation lies far beneath the eyes, the complexities that makes up the inner workings of the delicate gray matter. Part of it lies in the willingness of the individual to accept new ideas, to be indifferent to differences. It makes up the perception. Things that a person do and how it's done gives an insight of that person.

Can't expect the rest of the world to see things the way we see it.


We are here to complement each other.

Random

Why does it gets worse when you get analytical?

What's with the formalized quest to be complete?

Or at least feel complete?

Was your own interests all that matters?

Do you feel responsible to change someone
to complete your puzzle?



Something is wrong with you when everything had to be done your way.

Lameness

I never understand why the Government needed so long to finally realize that touts have been co-existing with legitimate counters for the LONGEST OF TIME.

I don't exactly know when touts started operating out in the open, but it was already there when I was still a student. That was 6-7 years back!

As usual, the Government will somehow manage to come up with a solutions whenever they need to impress.

Something like this.


Men in Black. So, does that make us aliens?

They look like touts themselves. Behhh tonnngggg!
