new year's resolution : typical

well, well, well...

here we are again. welcoming the new year into our lives. will it bring joy and prosperity or will there be a possibility that it might pass just like one of those years where no glimpse of change was in sight? 2007 has truly been a year filled with lessons. by saying this, i do agree that there are certain memories that should be left happily nesting in the past. on the other hand, i've also come to realise that you are only tested based on your strengths. life is fair. God is Almighty.

'what does not kill you will only make you stronger'

I do not believe in the whole grand concept of 'new year's resolutions'. Without a doubt, dreams will follow me till I make it a reality. One step at a time.

Living in the moment. I take the day as it comes, to strive with all my might so my life and the people around me could be more meaningful. Pray it all works out in the end and never forget to remind the cherished ones how much they are valued.

2007 has truly evolved me to become a stronger person. Thanks to old and new found friends, an enthralling partner and ever so supportive family members.

I wish you guys a wonderful year ahead. May it be challenging or rewarding, lets keep our heads high in the clouds and our feet grounded on this promising land and scream out loud... BRING IT ON!

the edge of sanity

sometimes the smallest things gets you thinking. when the world seems to be moving too fast. when people refuse to care. friends are nowhere to be found. loved ones are too occupied with their own concerns. sometimes you feel like there is nothing more to look forward to. swallowed by the never ending commitments, one after another. no time to think. no time to breathe. no chance of ever just letting it all go. once you've started, you just have to keep going. shielding your eyes against the burning ray of disappointments, only to have it brightening up around you. soon enough all that's left is a charred soul wandering endlessly hoping for it to be over and praying for the time to finally rest.

maybe im going nuts.
maybe im depressed.
maybe im lonely.

or... maybe it's just pms. damn.

for one more day

Author: Mitch Albom

"If you had one more day with someone you lost, would you change anything?"

Mitch Albom mesmerized readers around the world with his number one New York Times bestsellers, The Five People You Meet in Heaven and Tuesdays with Morrie. Now he returns with a beautiful, haunting novel about the family we love and the chances we miss.
For One More Day is the story of a mother and a son, and a relationship that covers a lifetime and beyond. It explores the question: What would you do if you could spend one more day with a lost loved one?
As a child, Charley “Chick” Benetto was told by his father, “You can be a mama’s boy or a daddy’s boy, but you can’t be both.” So he chooses his father, only to see the man disappear when Charley is on the verge of adolescence.
Decades later, Charley is a broken man. His life has been crumbled by alcohol and regret. He loses his job. He leaves his family. He hits bottom after discovering his only daughter has shut him out of her wedding. And he decides to take his own life.
He makes a midnight ride to his small hometown, with plans to do himself in. But upon failing even to do that, he staggers back to his old house, only to make an astonishing discovery. His mother -- who died eight years earlier -- is still living there, and welcomes him home as if nothing ever happened.

So enjoy.

Jay Chou -Qian Li Zhi Wai

Wu yan ru xuan yai* / feng ling ru cang hai / wo deng yan gui lai
The roof is like a cliff, wind chimes like the ocean, and I am waiting for the swallow to return.

Shi jian bei an pai / yan yi chang yi wai / ni qiao ran zou kai
Time is scheduled to act out the accident of you leaving quietly.

Gu shi zai cheng wai / nong wu shan bu kai / kan bu qing dui bai
The story occurred outside the city (where) there were thick fogs. (I) can’t see the dialogue clearly.

Ni ting bu chu lai / feng sheng bu cun zai / shi wo zai gan kai
You can’t tell (that) the wind chimes never sounded. It was my exasperation.

The future is as thin as the cicada’s wing and can’t withstand being torn by anyone.

Wo song ni li kai / qian li zhi wai / ni wu sheng hei bai
I send you off to a thousand miles away. (My mental image of you) is silent, black and white

I send you away beyond the end of Earth. Are you still there?

Qing sheng he lai / sheng si nan cai / yong yi sheng / qu deng dai

Wen lei sheng ru ling / xun li hua bai / zhi de yi hang / qing tai
I enter the woods upon hearing tears. (I) search for a white flower, but only get a row of moss.

Tian zai shan zhi wai / yu luo hua tai / wo liang xu ban bai
The sky is far away from the mountain. The rain falls on the flower garden. My hair has become white.

Tian zai shan zhi wai / yu luo hua tai / wo deng ni lai
The sky is far away from the mountain. The rain falls on the flower garden. I wait for you to come.

Yi shen liu li bai / tou ming zhe chen ai / ni wu xia de ai
Wearing clear white clothes, the transparency shows dust and your flawless love.

Ni chong yu zhong lai / shi hua le bei ai / wo lin shi xian zai
You come from the rain and transform sorrow into a poem and I am now wet.

Fu rong shui mian cai / chuan xing ying you zai / ni que bu hui lai
A lotus floats on the water. It seems as if the shadows of the boat sails are still there, but you still won’t return.

Covered by time, the flower that you said would blossom has become emptiness in the past.

it hurts sometimes but that's life.
the world demands you to have great clothes, the world demands you to have a cool pad, the world demands you to travel free, the world demands you to enjoy fabulous food, the world demands you to live a great lifestyle!

what else can you do but to surrender...

cash in-cash out.

My Sweetheart

Here are some of my favourites:

• We give up leisure in order that we may have leisure, just as we go to war in order that we may have peace
• The whole is more than the sum of its parts
• The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance
• Democracy arose from men's thinking that if they are equal in any respect, they are equal absolutely
• I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self
• Consider pleasures as they depart, not as they come
• Anyone can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, And in the right way - that is not easy
• Homer has taught all other poets the art of telling lies skillfully
• It is better to rise from life as from a banquet -- neither thirsty nor drunken
• Change in all things is sweet
• Man, when perfected, is the best of animals, but, when separated from law and justice, he is the worst of all
• No great genius is without an admixture of madness
• The best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake
• The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal
• Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber
• Youth is easily deceived because it is quick to hope
• Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own
• I have gained this from philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law
• Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach
• Suffering becomes beautiful when anyone bears great calamities with cheerfulness, not through insensibility but through greatness of mind
• Well begun is half done
• All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire
• It concerns us to know the purposes we seek in life, for then, like archers aiming at a definite mark, we shall be more likely to attain what we want
• Beauty depends on size as well as symmetry. No very small animal can be beautiful, for looking at it takes so small a portion of time that the impression of it will be confused. Nor can any very large one, for a whole view of it cannot be had at once, and so there will be no unity and completeness
• Beauty is the gift of God

And my personal favourite, jeng..jeng..jeng.. "All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind"-ouch.

The truth is I was always told that because my mom loved this song so much, that's how I got my name from.

The thing is, it is impossible for me to find out when the album was released.

By the way, it's by Latiff Ibrahim -Nora.

Can't believe I'm doing this...

I've read somewhere that the hardest thing to write is the first sentence..

"hey! I cheated my way into this" hahah.. that wasn't too hard.

Well, truthfully too many people @*geeks*-pardon me, has commented in puzzling notes that there are still beings in this super hyped 21st century that REFUSE TO BLOG!

Shut it! I'm people with lives! I prefer twisting my tongue, exhaling my breath into sounds and patiently wait for the vibration to trigger the other person's brain signals and proudly conclude it as conversations.. is that so wrong??

...Ok fine, I am technologically challenged!

But then again.., thanks to all you super wonderful geeks that finally convinced me to journey into this weird world of chips. I am here. *applause*
