Risk

If only that cushion is always there,
for when everything has failed,
absorbing the failure no one can bare,
to start again, a good start again.. I will.

The Notebook

The Cup Is Half Full

I watched Dr. Wolff use semantics to phrase whatever he could in a positive light. When we asked, "How long before I die?" he answered, "You probably have three to six months of good health." That reminded me of my time at Disney. Ask Disney World workers: "What time does the park close?" They answer: "The park is open until 8pm."

~The Last Lecture, Randy Pausch.

The Best Of Both Worlds

Play the piano, shred the guitar, beat the drums.

That way, I can make a band on my own. With talents and skills flashing and dazzling all over the stage or the recording studio. The vocals, sound and beat of everything would be so magical. Pure heart and soul.

But I've no talent in music, I tried.

But my heart will go on..

Near, far, wherever you are,

I believe that the heart does go on.

So I should get involved in sports like running. The wind in your hair with your heartbeat pouncing on every step and stomp. The adrenaline rush from head to toe, your muscles tensed from every push to swift forward as fast as you can before crossing the finish line, leaning forward to finish the race a millisecond faster.

But I don't have enough of those running attires to train everyday.

But its just the price I pay,

destiny is calling me,

open up my eager eyes,

cause I'm Mr. Brightside.

Swing Swing

Let it fly, fly high.
That's what you'd want to feel. Simply satisfying.

Freedom Of Speech

Name me an artist that is worth a second look.

What do you call an artist? Is it a person that draws, or creates music? I don't know.

Confused, I'm not good at this whole writing thing. I heard there's art in writing, or the art of writing. I just hope I can make it easier for me to write, without hesitating for words to choose, spellings to check, and topic of interest.

I have questions, ones that raises my curiosity like "Do people relate their content to their own life?". I think about it most of the time, and yeah, people do. But real authors have the ability to write something out of nowhere, not from their experience, not even something they would think of, probably the last thing on their mind and they do it perfectly, how do they do it? I don't know, and it'd be swell if I know.

Being an author is a very patient thing to do,

throughout the duration from the start of a story until the end.

Apart from playing golf, that is.

I realized between writing on my blog, writing on a paper, and writing on an exam paper.. its different. If I were to compare the freedom I get from all the situations I mentioned above, writing on a piece of blank paper would be the first. I assume the same applies to everyone else.

So what if you verbally do it?

Won't the space around you be the paper?

Yes..

Circle Of Life

A different perspective can change things, how you get inspired is how you look at the brightside.

Some quotes you just don't realise.

Cause and Effect

Yeah, it follows after.

The Illusionist

As a boy, I'm told, he had a chance encounter with a travelling magician. One version of the story was that the man himself vanished... along with the tree. People began to think he had some sort of special power... or at least that he was a bit different. And then he met her.

Everything is just an illusion, its a trick.

A good movie, I must say.

You've Got A Friend In Me

Here, always.

Talking To The Moon

Spacious enough for a landing, I can tell it everything now, I just hope it understands.

Open the encyclopedia, open the dictionary, open your mind

I have this idea of making my words a reality. I imagine a lot until this funny suggestion came to my mind. How does all the blogs you read, actually sound like to you? What kind of accent will you assume? Oh, so many more questions. I place the dictionary just close enough, when I have a question, I try my best to find an answer, only if its worth it.

What happened was.. after all these little happenings that came by my way just recently, making me just want to have this intention to refresh everything once again, everything seems acceptable now. I take a chance like this to read a book, an inspirational one like The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. I must say, its been a while since a book has made me forget the time and everything that is happening around me. I read the book before Chemistry tuition class started just now, the place was noisy alright, all I imagined was Randy Pausch speaking, and I assumed his style of speaking through his videos I watched on youtube.

So I've been thinking about making videos of me saying all of the above.

I don't know, just maybe.

Hear Me Now

I'm this much closer from losing my mind,

good thing I found out how close I am.

So hear me now.

Waking Up In Nothing

I hereby giving anyone and everyone-

The permission and opportunity,

To punch,

slap,

smack,

double punch,

double slap,

double smack,

splash me with cold water,

a whole bucket of cold water.

On one condition, forgive me and don't hate me after that.

For one reason, when I think too much.

I will now try to make sense and organize, arrange my very, very messy room and life. Why the sudden wake up call? Because I don't see much action in being like this, and I realize now that I have lost a lot of little things, don't remind me, I just feel like an idiot for letting it happen. Its like that rabbit and turtle race, and I'm the rabbit, the turtle's winning without me noticing. So now that I've come to realize these little things in life, its time to win back my race. I'm still alive, but I'm barely breathing.

A Halloween

Its not everyday that these schoolmates of mine get together and rock a party, if I may assume, its the second party we really enjoyed, a Halloween party. I never thought I'd get the chance to go around strangers' houses and scream trick or treat while they fill your bags up with a handful of candy, well I thought right, I forgot to grab some while behind the camera. As we laze around the Sunway neighbourhood with funky, scary, funny, crazy and interesting costumes, you can always expect the best of spontaneous acts.



Ee Shen as Vincent Chong.



Jen Ning as The Joker.



Eu Gene as.. hollow man?



Nazmi as.. Osama bin Laden?
and many, many more potential characters.



You can picture the chaos and jokes these amusing people make when they all gather up.
Especially blending in with the Halloween season.





Our host, Bryan Guan. :D



I guess it takes the enthusiasm and that sporting attitude from everyone to really have fun, I definitely had an awesome time. We should do this more for this school holidays. Click here for the full album. :)

Stacks Another Memory

Just for a while, I sit down at a park. The weather was cold from a rain that was afraid to fall. I was keeping up with myself from the mess, trying to imagine I was the only one that exists, a group of probably 5 or 6 from a distance says hi, and I wave back with a loud voice telling them I'm waiting for my ride back home, after I heard a question asking, "why are you alone?". 15 minutes gone, and I decided to walk back to base, allowing my thoughts to come to a stop, and said bye to them as they did so too.

Before I got up from my swing, I smile to the ground, wondering the luck I have. On my way back, my ride came, I go home now, feeling something slipping out of my arms, the scent floats away, so heavenly, staring at the shadow dancing away, and its laughing at you, thought of a better way to say hello, and goodbye.The chances you get for the time you had isn't as rewarding, telling us all we can do, is appreciate. Its always hard to say goodbye.. even for a little while, isn't it?

Faces Of Earth

I want to see a face with a condition of that sweet smile existing for whatever reasons very naturally, just like yours. My senses soften and break with the sound and speed of flowers falling from up above, I can't seem to know what has gotten into this wicked world, I don't understand what the goal of mankind is, its just never ending.

Is it our actions that're often wrong has caused our universe to leave us for good? Leave us until we have to build this all alone, or worse, maintaining it. We don't know.. and we just continue breathing with anxiety everyday, every hour, every minute and every second, we expose ourselves entirely to this world. Maybe not everyone has the guts to do that, of course, not yet, but for those who know that this isn't going to be forever, they embrace.

They pick a side, they make their decision, and make the best out of it because they know, the life in their years will only last less than the duration of a 100 years, they know, that they're temporary. Temporary, the word speaks for itself, its either now or never that we get a tight and wise grasp of what we have and what we like, or you're just an extra face on earth, wasting away, never to be remembered, or given a term much terrible, infamous.

When we learn to accept our luck,

then that's what we do,

we only bother to take in happiness,

because that's what we do.

We

We change every second
confusing, I know.
Because of the constant changes,
we dont even know who we really are,
what we really like,
where we belong.

Trasition, a movement, development, or revolution from one form, stage or style, to another.

And now you'll lead the way,

show the light of the day,

nice work you did,

you're gonna go far, kid.

we're gonna go far.

Face The Smile

“Too many people spend money they haven't earned,

to buy things they don't want,

to impress people they don't like.”

- Will Smith

Its just sad. Maybe not, but people do things just because they're forced to.

Just saying.. that reality isn't that bad after all, awesome, in fact.

Happy Birthday

I've probably waited all my life to be 16, and i'll be waiting to be 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and so on. As funny as it sounds, getting older just means getting closer, to what I can do, to what I should do, to success, to maturity, to life and finally, to death. While I was at it, the hardcore back-slapping really hinted me, for the first time.

This all happened right before my birthday actually. :)

With all the events that happened on 16th of October 2010, I somehow feel that togetherness feeling awaken from everyone I met on that day, and of course the night before. It almost feels like I wasn't ready to get another year older, the day was uniformed. Blowing away candles was quite foolish for a moment there, I made two wishes, that were too big of a wish. For once, I have this mind set, a plan for the future not too far ahead, but just at a random pace, I know what I'm doing, and I know where I'm going, but I don't know what reality brings.

My finals has just ended, I know I had a good start today. I drove the fancy white Livina of my dad's, more stable this time than last, like the golf buggy I drove, I'd step on it and still able to get good control of the buggy that drifting was what i felt like doing already, now its a car. Although i have to wait exactly another year to pass to earn a driving liscense, maybe I could drive, illegally, for casual reasons. Tonight, I have a futsal game with my peers, amazing how this is happening. Like they say, its not the years in your life that counts, its the life in your years. This is it, this is my life, its my year, its me. Now, I'm ready to be 16.
