真的？

如果我生命是为了你，那么我的生命泉源就一定在你身上，
可我不知道如何找到你，更不知道如何去辨认你，
对你尽有的回忆，总是随着时间让它变得模糊，
甚至开始怀疑‘你’真的存在吗？
想了想，想了又想，我依然相信那回忆不只是回忆，
我相信世上的某个角落，你一定存在，并且也拥有与我同样的思念与渴望。。。

A trip to heaven...

Well.. yeah.. i know Sabah isn't any kind of heaven, not even close... but to me, having to have the time to went there, spent a day with the breezing of the sea is heaven.. I can't miss enough those air i breath there... so lay-back and slow.. i love it.. a place which is not too busy..

Being silence....

Just wanna be totally silence at this particular moment...

I envy those who are simple-minded....

envy? no.. i ADMIRE them for being so wise....

Changes...

It has been a very busy weeks for me recently, busy with works, attending my cousin's wedding at singapore, hanging out with new friends, catching up with old friends etc...  but i just got to realize.. when i finally got myself quietly sitting here, i realize i'm actually feeling down! But why? because I realize how so many things have changed in my life, around my surroundings, among my friends. It's kind of hard to imagine how our thinking are changing along the time. When we're a kid, we want sweets, when we're in school, we want friends, when we're in college, we want to club, when we're working, we want money. And finally when we're tired, we want LOVE, but not any love, a love with so much conditions that drive most of us crazy, empty, fear,  and everything. I wonder how many do really sit down and think and be grateful with all one has at the moment, than to feel envy looking at those who are happily married, earning successfully? We envy others, but never realize that we too, has qualities that others envy, no? So why should we doubt ourselves? Why should we look down on ourselves and look high on others? If you do believe in fate, then you shall believe in the right timing and that, the universe shall has its own way to bring its greatest gift to you. You just need to wait! with Smilez of course. ^-^

2009 -> 2010

Happy new year! Well, a brand new year with brand new starts.. believe it or not, I really could feel the shift of energy upon stepping into the year of 2010...   2009, I asked myself, what have i done? what have achieve? is there any regrets? My answers were so much yet so less. I've done so many, opening up a cafe with friends, moving house, break-ups, gathering with old friends etc yet i felt i have done so little.. I wish i could do it better, clean my house, more catch-ups with friends, work harder etc... But if I would have to make a conclusion for the year 2009, is about Growth. I might seem to be a mature-thinker for my age, but the year 2009 makes me feel I'm still such a kid compare to many. There's so much more in life, in business, in friends, in family etc that I have yet to learn and grow. I realize the horizons are bigger for me to explore compare the years ago.. I wish i could visit more places, read more books, gain more knowledge and meet more people in this brand new year. I would love to grow!

Very true!! I forgave and thanks all who have directly or indirectly comes into my life.. ^-^

Being truthful...

Everyday in our lives, things happened. Some bad and some good. But I tend to believe, everything happen for a good reason. Nothing is ever bad, nothing comes just to bring u bad. It just want us to learn something from it but how many of us really learn through our lessons? We know, all the decisions are actually in our hand, even the decisions to be happy or not. We always say, whatever you decide, you must follow your heart, be true to ourselves but how many can differentiate between your true self feelings and your human ego mind? So little to understand and yet so much to learn, huh? But i always consider myself lucky for i have angels (seen and unseen) around me to remind me to stay firm and be truthful.
Always ask yourself, what do you want now? What you really want now? And don't think! The first answer counts and nothing else! Do not analyze. You just need to answer on first instinct and keep up to do it. Do not be afraid of the consequences or toughness it brings for it will fall in pieces for you once you've taken the first step.

"No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true." -- Nathaniel Hawthorne from the Scarlet Letter

"To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's." -- Fyodor Dostoevksy from Crime and Punishment

"All a man can betray is his conscience." -- Joseph Conrad from Under Western Eyes

So.. how many dare to be different to follow your own true heart?

Right and righteous

Sometimes, what is right to most of the people doesn't seem to be the right for you. Those who fit perfectly to other people's lives doesn't seem to fit yours. But yet, we always choose to follow the path where majority thinks it's right without thinking if it's righteous for us. Thus, we follow and we regret, we blamed others.

"Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway."
-- Eleanor Roosevelt (Former First Lady)

I personally thinks that Roosevelt got the point here. It is your heart that truly determines what's right for you and you just have to admit sometimes what's right for your heart and you, seems to be the wrongest thing to do. But if you don't act with your heart, in the end, you'll find yourself LOST, not knowing what's right and wrong anymore. Which is worst? I pick to follow my heart. Admitting that you're a bad or lame person, is really not that hard if you enjoy what you have...after all, who leads your life other than yourself? Don't let others influence you, it shall always be you and yourself.
