War Zone

my restless heart and mind is at war. depression and anxiety sweeping at me so fast i can't stop to catch my breathe and to hold on to what is sane. prayers of faith is keeping me alive, books are keeping me occupied as tears flow down my cheeks. just concluded that i'm officially depressed. after all my time as a counsellor for fellow peers, i have finally broken down. crushed under sheer pressure of burden and heartbreaks. at this tender young age of 23, my emotions are in a disarray. have to break out of this soon, using my own will power and strength.

Lucky Stars

hmmm its a low key event for this...4 of us took the car out for a spin, headed off to loy yang power station to watch the lights...quite spectacular, but on the way home...hmmmm....we nearly got into a head on collision with another car....we are driving smoothly on the road, when all of the sudden just 20 metres ahead this old red sports car came out of the side road only to stop half way onto the road we were heading towards...the driver must be speeding or drunk and didnt stop properly...both our car and the car behind had to swerve off to our opposite lanes (thank god there was no car on coming, if not it would have been disastrous) and carried on our journey back home....oh man...

me being nervous only had to say this to the passengers, "sorry for the slight turbulence experienced..."
one of them replied, "no worries, its the safest drives i have had..." timely compliment i hope...to calm that nervous soul of mine, already being so 'rojak' at the moment....

~~~~~~~~
Books

probably the day turn out to be funny things happening...was about to borrow the heap of marketing books with Stacey, when the librarian had this to say to us...."doing some light readings hey?...." aiks...hahaha we were like carrying 9 books each...hahaha and most of them are thick heavy marketing books!! how embarrassing but funny...

then whilst walking off to the cars, Stacey remembered how our marketing lecturer once told us to borrow as much as we can...coz we paid fees already!...hahahaha =)
was wondering am i too kiasu or just plain too nerd? hahahaha

Something came in between usㄛ
Taking away the love we sharedㄛ
Leaving behind only tearsㄛ
Even if it was a mistakeㄛ
Even if you regrettedㄛ
You didn't want me to follow﹝

Even if I lovedㄛ
Twice as muchㄛ
Twice as hardㄛ
Prayed that muchㄛ
Nothing will change﹝

didn't realise his songs had the feelings i wanna portray. it seems coincidental that he released his album now, and spoke of the things happening between me and you. i'm not too sure what to do from now on, only time will tell. let me bring away all your unhappiness and pain. i'm stepping back, stepping aside. so smile gal, thats what i wanna see and that you remain happy, with or without me. i wanna see those eyes sparkle, those dimples and megawatt smile coming back into your life.

barrage of comments have floored me, no more determination, no more fighting spirit, no more will, no more faith in what i believed, love is something i said to you, i will fight for and defend it at all cost, coz its what i believed, now its a forgotten past as i drown under endless pressure.

like a phoenix, i will burn and turn into ashes, but will rise again eventually.

~~~~~~~~~

my future hangs in the balance, on one single event, will i stay or return home, depends on the outcome of that one event. life have been cruel and kind to me, but its all good.

Backseat

i'm taking the backseat into this. once third in the pecking order, now not even on that list it feels and seems. prayer of faith let me learn, not blindly believe. if you have faith in me come back to me and listen. what has happened was not suppose to happen. i see my dreams clearer and i saw you in my light in that whole pitch of darkness. i'm aware, amazed and somehow defeated by those around you. if i'm ever going to stand up, you have to be the first to rescue me and know the truth. if not this will continue to be a endless tussle and its harder for me to be by your side nowadays.

i will be praying to you oh LORD. guide me towards the way, for me to think, work and get myself out of this.
~~~~~~~~~

fun time at radio today...hahaha today helped did a topic section on horoscopes... feels great to chip in something at last...despite the number of times i have been to radio. hahaha...

i miss someone
i will be praying

Calm
 
have to hold back emotions, as disappointment sets in. controlling fears and anger is what i'm trained for and what i have been through. the storm that is brewing ahead will be met by a calmness. hitting the books must have been inspiration to control the explosions. i forsee the reasons of educated attacks as a motivation to rein me in and make matter worse. i have my own opinions, interests and beliefs. i was outspoken and straightforward, only to those i cared. and i keep it to myself and those whom i have spoken. i regret being outspoken that sometimes it hurts, but for the interest of those i cared, its better to be honest than to be untruthful.

the good 車 days maybe gone when we are sticking our necks out there for others. i tried so hard with those who have come and gone to build up the relationships, yet all this are being thrashed overnight in a single act of stings. reputation at stake, relationships on the brink of collaspe, yet i won't do anything.

Books
 
currently reading "Hillary Rodham Clinton Living History" the first chapter of the autobiography already caught my dedicated attention to the details. the ex-first lady of the US, is definitely a distinguished individual with great character. haha i'm already hot on the heels for her husband's book...i'm on the waiting list...hopefully will get to read it once i'm done with this...

after reading this book i guess it sort of made me understand why somethings happen. the bible was suppose to be it...but yes...GOD didnt answer me through HIS revelations...HE worked HIS magic through others...haha funny how it seem to me that reading this book by Hillary, only conquer all fears that i stand alone on what i believed. i alone stand for my decisions, i defend it i must, and in return i have to respect others. signs to me, that its time to give up what i have been seeking and learn the basic route. somethings change somethings don't. its the changes i have to adapt and move on.

i will be praying...
i love you...
i miss you...

 
Knocks
 
Knocks...someone used to get knocks to the head...now its gone...but i think i have been getting knocks on my poor head in replacement. My prayers have been answered...for that person...but not for me ....ouch...last night...hit the top of my bed and wall, i think got at least 6 times...was too dazed to count even...

Migraine have been getting worse...

"you are the first thing and last thing on my mind..." both of you... so important that i'm willing to trade anything of me for your(s) happiness. prayer. =)

Voice Within
 
someone needs to voice out opinions, and make decisions and inevitable consequences will follow. i feel that way after my meeting. its been hard on 'VP' for him to make decisions. i feel that exact same feeling back then. i'm not too sure if he feels it, but really i see the effort and appreciation he has for his work. i must give him the credit for the guts. his ideas are my ideals but yet i have not the chance to work with such a brilliant individual. 'S' was right back then, he is a brilliant individual. i'm without doubt now that 'VP' will be the one that will lead the organisation out of the years of slump. foundations has been set by previous committees, all their hardwork have been inspirational. all their hardwork paid off. in this entry, i salute to all who have come, conquered their fears, raised their aspirations and work towards a united goal.

Politics are the same everywhere we go. Leaders are hard to come by. Only a few can make that cut. Today i see a leader. A gem in his own class. A worthy individual to lead. I'm without doubt that those who reads this will know where i stand, and why i have heaped praise upon this individual. Its hard to make comparison but if i was put beside this fine individual, i will lose hands down. Thats my own opinion. Keep up the good work dude. I will be there to help. =)

GOD
 
If there is one thing i would tell HIM, i will tell him this, "my life has been sucky and really at the bottom, but somehow its all good, i know that the trials i'm going through are part of my journey you planned for me, but its been a difficult road. if i have a choice, i would give up and forsake you. yet in me the heart and soul is strong, so amazingly powerful your voice, that the will and fighting spirit is great. your love conquered my heart and moulded me in your likeness, to love and to hold, to cherish and to grow, oh exalted one, i'm in awe, that your faith in your son here is beyond my own imagination."

Hmmm anyways...thats what i would say to HIM if i did meet or met HIM. haha

~~~~~~~~~

got a few christian 'jokes' my friend sent to me...i found it amusing and yet heart warming, that we know how much being in love with GOD is....

1.There was a very gracious lady who was mailing 
an old family Bible to her brother in another 
part of the country. "Is there anything breakable in here?"
asked the  postal clerk. "Only the Ten Commandments",
answered the lady.

2. A father was approached by his small son who 
told him proudly, "I know what the Bible means!" 
His father smiled and replied, "What do you  mean,
you 'know' what the Bible means?" The son replied,
"I do know!" "Okay", said his father. 
"So, son, what does the Bible mean?" 
"That's easy, Daddy. It stands for 'Basic 
Information Before Leaving Earth.'"

 
Jokes to me are really a caricature of people...we as christians believe in the 10 Commandments...but do we all follow it? What about the BIBLE? its the most important book in all of christianity, on how to follow HIM...and back to the kingdom...i guess we all have our interpretations. some may differ in opinion. But yupz...i hope this 2 'jokes' will sort of enlighten your understanding...of what do those things mentioned mean to you. thats the most important.  =)
Stubborn, Honest? Goodbye...
 
Somethings have been said and done. Honest words, yet harsh facts. Stubborn minds guide both our hearts. Both of us believe in somethings that are opposites. But both of us believe in Love and Loving someone wholeheartedly. There is no way the past can be remedied. The chance to reconcile is nearly zero. The sun has set on this twilight moment. Its been the most spectacular yet short lived moment. Only to be cherished and treasured, once in this lifetime. Let it set peacefully and remember the times when the sun shone its glorious rays upon it, the once shared 'love' and time we had.

All i just wanna do is find a way to compromise and work things out.  maybe its all written in the stars, there is no escape, in this stretch of mortal time, sometimes i wish i never learnt how to love and have that love returned. its probably punishment for somethings we did. the dreams we have to leave behind will always be part of me, at least in me. in you i saw my light, my strength.... 

But its time to say goodbye. I only have this prayer to say this morning:

Lord, You invite all who are burdened to come to You. Allow your healing hand to heal me. Touch my soul with Your compassion for others. Touch my heart with Your courage and infinite love for all. Touch my mind with Your wisdom, that my mouth may always proclaim Your praise. Teach me to reach out to You in my need, and help me to lead others to You by my example. Most loving Heart of Jesus, bring me health in body and spirit that I may serve You with all my strength. Touch gently this life which You have created, now and forever. Amen.

Its a prayer for you and me. Take time to read.

~~~~~~~~~~~

oh wells...after all has happened... i guess some good came out of it. me being alittle bit more mature i think?!?! haha...and my studies and extra curriculum are beyond my wildest dreams...i'm like ahead of schedule in revision or what....hmmm crazy man...i think i need to slow down...oh well 'turn strength and perseverence into something useful' rather than putting hope into something that even i can't save.

Memory

I'm a memory, a fragment in time, a past, but always your angel. See you in Rome.

Yours sincerly
Richmond.

~~~~~~~~
Angel's Prayer

Angel of God
My guardian dear
To Whom His love
Commits me here
Ever this day
Be at my side
To light and guard
To rule and guide.
Amen

How To?
 
I'm back home, sitting in front of this laptop. Typing out my feelings for today. I can't seem to control my feelings for that someone well. I can't resist the temptation to call her or even sms her. But I have a promise to keep. Not just a promise to her, but a promise to myself, that we both need time apart. Yet how do I not think about her, dream about her, when all I do is about her. Those days are gone, and I want her so muchThe night is long and I need her touch.Don't know what to sayI never meant to feel this way, hate to be alone tonight......

Thinking about her, yet I have accomplished more than i should. Bible readings, my own studies and piano lessons. How did I fall in love with her, so much that the power to love translate into something energising? Am I just escaping? Am I running away from it all? I really don't know, but will be praying about it.

Church
 
Fr. Malcolm just had to introduce me to the whole congregation today...haha. its good to finally step back into the Catholic Church...after a long and protracted journey away from it for years. Going to attend bible studies every thursday soon. was wondering should i do baptism and confirmation. maybe just attend it and see how. i would love to attend cathecism classes and see all the young kids...a great bunch i tell you...

In a Nutshell
"Prayer is not an exercise to change God's mind, but to change our minds and hearts. Jesus teaches us to pray for a way of life. 
If Christians lived by what they pray in the Lord's Prayer, we would have a vastly different world: God's Kingdom of justice and peace, food for all without excess for the few, forgiveness and peace of soul.
The prayer is not about 'me' but about 'us'."
(Taken off from "The Saving Word" 25th July 2004)
 
I have been praying, and somehow each time i prayed, i prayed for 'her'. Today's gospel was meaningful to it. "Ask and it will be given to you; search and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For the one who asks always receives; the one who searches always find; the one who knocks will always have the door opened to him." (Luke 11:9-10)

I asked GOD in prayer to bless 'her' the strength and power to love again. I have been searching deep inside my heart and i found the strength and courage to love 'her' unconditionally. I have knock upon the house of GOD for answers and HE has opened up to me.

~~~~~~~~~

I may sound a little hmmm "holy" at this moment...but trust me...what one camp has done...what one sunday mass have given...its all good. The signs HE has given me is beyond my imagination. I'm in awe and deep respect. My believe in HIM is small like a mustard seed...yet HE has shown me visions beyond my tender years. =)

~~~~~~~~~

I miss someone. Someone I love. Unlike anyone. My love for her is not superficial nor temporary. Its unconditional love which is even beyond my wildest imagination. I love her and will set her free. When the time comes all things will fall in place. I maybe naive or vulnerable as my friends sometimes say. But being a jack ass like me i being true to my heart. I can't deny my feelings nor can i hide it.

People always say we need to know each other better before getting together...but everything don't work just that way. Somethings work differently. I'm getting to know her better each passing day and vice versa. We can't work things out over night. I can't make her be in love with me overnight. Yet our love can grow overtime. Our paths have crossed each others, and we are at the crossroads of leaving behind what has happened, said and done. Life goes on and I'm praying. =)

Focus
 
got my focus...finished Leviticus...a.k.a.....third book of moses. had to concentrate on it which was good and fruitful. really the focus was there. the urge to call and talk to her was curbed...so i think it was good..kinda irritated her less i hope...aiks...so now just continue to do what i have been doing. bible studies, church, piano lessons and my own studies. concentration.  like moses who believed in GOD...i believe everything will turn out fine. i know what my heart wants, but whether the other heart wants the same really have to depend on her. come what may....the future holds.

right now i have only one person in my heart and mind. she is my angel and devil. yet if we are not together, i will always have her in my heart a special place. loving someone is unconditional. learnt that the hard way...doing it the hardest way, by experience. yet i believe love will conquer all...just like how GOD gave HIS only SON to sacrifice for all of us. HIS love is beyond my understanding now, so hopefully one day when i return to HIS side he will show me that love in all its awe. =)

Believe
 
i believe that things will work out. yet i struggle to commit. i struggle to maintain. i struggle to focus and concentrate at this moment. will the light of my life come back into my journey. how much more pain i gotta go through? if only you replied. tell me the things i need to know, stop doing the things that is hurting me. i'm praying.

 
i continued my bible studies, and just finished Genesis. Now on to Exodus. Piano lessons was successful today. Zyan must have been the most patient yet fierce teacher you can get....hahaha i think that would let him learn to be more patient and calm that soul down. great fun. i think both of us learnt abit more from our lesson...hahahaha

Concentration
 
hahaha my bible studies is coming along well. wonder how i cope with 4 modules, 1 bible studies and piano lessons....hmmm feels great. last semester before i graduate or move on to my next step. bible studies has been great, and going one step further, understanding every single passage and verse. its been taking quite a bit of time so far...only at Genesis chapters still. guess one can only do so much in 2 weeks. but i'm so happy with my progress. grow with GOD and hopefully that someone special...hahaha hey i just can't forget about her...she's my angel ok =)

ok piano lessons are good...did one week of intensive alone...finally got zyan to agree to teach me once a week ...so must buck up and not let him down. hmmm trying to get my basics right first. hopefully can read notes in weeks to come. as well as my fingering and getting used to the tones.

going to do something for radio station i hope and learn something out of this semester's experience. and hey my chinese did improve quite abit from this experience.
Temporary Goodbye
 

.......from today onwards its concentration and focus. she will be in my heart. she knows it. i'm glad that she knows. glad to hear from her that i'm part of her heart always. in fact i pray that this moment apart from this day can give us the strength and direction to our hearts.

hey dear... remember the email i sent to you " just close your eyes and feel my arms around you now and know that love will conquer all........."  that still stays. its always been the same.

i'm just a call away, and a thought away. so lets see what is "meant to be will be"....but everyday i will pray to the LORD and tell him how much i love you. i believe in HIM. let HIM guide our ways. hopefully in the future i can whisper those lovely 3 words to you everyday. =)
Feelings
 
Clouded, blurred, yet clear on what i want to do. i'm going to break through this barrier. i'm coming out of this stronger. i need the truth now. i know what i will be facing later. locking myself up in the room, zyan said...i know i'm but i got nothing else to do. i'm letting loneliness get into me. where is the once extrovert and out-going richmond??? i'm kinda liking the time i spend to myself, in my cold cold room. i think i have become a loner. i'm embracing loneliness. probably my form of escapism. if only you didn't shut me out of your world. hey but i'm cool with it...coz i did had the pinky promise with you.

people have been telling me to cool things off. but yet do they know how difficult it is for both of us. i guess they all do hey. people always seem to understand better than those in the situation. hahaha maybe i should stop doing it my way and listen to their advices and live their way of life. probably it will be better. =)

HeartBeat
 
lately i have been sitting along the the pastures out by the uni lake...trying to find a place to think about you. yes... you. as i sat there i saw many of my friends...couples in fact...felt glad for them and happy. i can't help but think that i miss you so much and love you. coz the days without you just got grey and dull. never fell harder than this before. never realise i had so much greater love. silly me. i wish for you to be by my side. to experience our life together and enjoy every moment together. all i wanna do is to tell you how much i love you baby everyday. in time we age in moments we share. i know i can feel your heartbeat in mine...coz everytime i held your hands i can feel the beat in sync.

so tonite i will ask the stars above to bless your journey with HIM...hey and me ....doesnt matter what happen in the future. coz i wanna be with you, when you walk with life. it may take 2 tango, but let me be your lead tonite.  =)

i can sense what you are feeling. its not making things easier for both of us. so i'm making my departure earlier. when the time comes you'll know, but let this short moment be cherished and remembered. 100 days is coming up already. i'm still stuck on it. its my last gift.  



TIME
 
time is precious and its slipping away. but when i think back on all those times, i feel blessed to have you in my life. though we left behind all the dreams, i hope to make new ones with you. i hope to keep a part of you with me, whenever i maybe. its tough for me, i see it in your face. but i will try and give it my best shot. coz i believe in HIM...and HE will guide me to prove the love we thought lost, is actually not, but growing each day.

lets see, i think i know what to do already. and i feel blessed...all the prayers have been answered. i have not felt so free, never in my entire lifetime here on earth...i have never been so free. the greatest love has shown me the way back to the heart. i'm actually happy, renewed with hope, faith... =)

~~~~~~~~~~

medical chkup was good today...had fun at the doctors...hilarious bunch of doctor and nurses...super friendly...glad to meet them. cracked jokes and chit chat...hahaha never knew seeing a doctor can be so fun. =)

hmmmm made my dear bro. zyan angry yesterday....aiks....nevermind lah...he won't blame me wan hor? hahahaha...hey thank you dude.

Moments
 
each day as i talked to her...my heart begins to settle down...my decision. i'm going to take that decision and its making me happy. to see her each day is going to be good. back to square one sounds like a big hurdle to cross, but i'm sure i can make it through. guide my way with her dear lord...its the best thing for both of us. we are following you every step of our way. hopefully the greatest love we know, will light my love with her, and let us be together. =)
 
bible studies and piano lessons paying off dividends. gotta work that around my study schedule though coz the work load should get heavier from the 2nd week onwards. hmmm but that doesnt matter. i believe that i can do it.  =)
 
had milkshake with the dudes just now...oh man...oreo milkshake rocks big time...and we are so damn full....2 litre of oreo ice-cream and milk washed down the stomach...we are all going to gain weight soon....ooops gotta train man...get fit and stay that way... =p
 
~~~~~~~~~~~
miss singapore, miss being with my family. wanna go home for a break. lets see how things go...

a slow start to the new semester for me. went for class in the morn. played the piano for nearly 2 hrs...my fingers hurt...tried to learn the theme song from forrest gump...man...i tell u my fingers are sored to the core...
 
the heart and mind in confused state. now better liaoz. really thank samson and zyan for bringing me out for dinner and just chill out. now gotta make oreo milkshake...and have supper? lol lost nearly 5kg in a week....sianz..... was 66kg and gaining...but with things happening lately i literally lost 5kg...now a weak and fragile me at 61kg...and losing more...man i gotta buck up....
got back from  melbourne city this morning at 2am odd. really tired. was making some preparations for the new semester, taking a break, and getting some surprises ready. was really tired for me on the journey back. nearly dozed off but managed to keep one eye on the road with zyan who was driving. 
 
i miss someone. i wish that she was next to me right now. alas its just another dream. monday's blues i guess. hope will find its way and back to my heart i pray. the glimmer of light i see at the end of the tunnel is drawing closer to me.  but still the journey there is a long and far one. i have hurdles to cross, obstacles to climb and road to plough to get to that point. how i wish i had her along for the ride of our lives together...... if only things were right and not wrong.  knowing the wrongs make me wanna do the rights more...but what are the chances of making things right? right now....practically no chance at this moment. yet  hopefully perseverence and faithful pecking on the doors to that heart can win it over......so it wont be just "love"....it will be "in love with"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

kinda looking at the last question on who is my fav gal type. i guess i keep on falling (even though its only been twice) in love with this kind of gal. both of them are similar in some ways yet different totally. they possess that x-factor and charisma that no guys not even myself can resist. lol. both of them are beautiful to me in their own ways. both have made my life heaven and hell too. lol...its a package thing.

i'm over with "A" already and both of us moved on. I thought i couldnt not fall in love with someone. thought is just a chance i guess. i didnt make an effort to love or find someone to fall in love. i just fell in love with " L" whom i met each day, not immediately neither right after. i liked her. i liked her eyes.......when i first saw those pair of eyes,  they were covered behind the sunglasses she wore. hahaha kinda hard to see but i scrutinise hard just to catch a glimpse. when i finally got to see them close, they are the most beautiful pair of eyes i saw. it was intense and unbelieveable. i couldnt say anything much or express much. the time i took to catch a second glance of those eyes, i fell in love with "L".  so the process went from ...like to love haha then came in the lust....ooops...i have 3 Ls for her. time was so short, how i wish time could be longer. its as though just when i got to know her alittle better we have to say goodbye to this love relationship. come what may. i will try my best and not give up. doesnt matter to me now that if she eventually wont be in love with me. but its the moments i had with her that i treasured and hope that time will tell me that i have more time with her. 

p.s: i wrote this entry coz i dreamt of her....


finally had my long awaited haircut on saturday. chill out with friends and relax abit. after all that was said and done over the last week. i guess i'm worn out and need to recharge. to carry on and to move on. with or without her. with her is what i want and need, but not meant to be i guess.  i will keep on trying in small ways. but if we are not meant to be, i guess i will have to give up.
 
i have been searching my future, work my way up the corporate ladder i hope. get to continue by education and once i gain enough knowledge and experience. i'm off to united nations to work. that is my ideal goal. helping others. my ambitious goal...vice-president of SIA public affairs department. lol sky high dreams. earth low abilities.

"Hum Tumhe Pyar Karte hae" L.L.S-M.
Confusion...

i'm not too sure how i feel right now. pissed off and sad. happy and glad. somethings are beyond my control. the "right now" is killing me. the future is bleak. i can't see my direction, i thought i had.

my dream....
finish off this year with someone. continue with honours the next. we both graduate together. we both find some place to "settle down" so we can be together. get our jobs. enjoy our youth together. travel off to europe, especially to rome, coz thats where she wants to go. have the first dance with her as i hold her tight in my arms. that dream is fast fading away. all is lost it seems. i can't find the motivation i once had with confidence broken down. heart break. everything is in a blur. if only she gave me the direction. she knows it can be right. but doesnt believe. i'm down-trodden, cast down. Richmond wept.

Went to library today and got myself a bible. Started reading it from scratch too. I got another book on the world's religion. Something different this time from the one i borrowed last time. Going through some of the religious stuff.

did some piano practises today also. improving my fingering techniques and the reading of notes. learnt a bit more each day and lots of practise will do good for me.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever so believe in him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

She told me this tonite. I'm glad and happy we chatted and laughed. Weird it seems but its all good. Loved every moment. But sad every step of it.

Wish i can have this kind of moments with her everyday. It gives me not only the chance to know her better again, but also spend time with her. But alas i'm only dreaming, this will never happen, it takes 2 to tango. I'm but one dancer only.
Woke up to the bright sunny skies of churchill. wondering what's in store for me. Wish she will look for me and take away the pain. but i doubt she will. draw me close to you GOD this is when i need you most. but it seems my heart has turned cold and hard. right now, my heart is in a 'rojak' state. GOD, family, my close buddies and her. she is a fall i'm so willing to take now. more ready than ever before. coz i'm know in my heart and mind, her name rings continuously. my every breathe is about her and yet i can't anymore. its painful yet happy. when the music stops my heart literally stop with it. i care alot for her well being and love her. its time for me to take a back seat and give it up.

being with you was real, a calming presence, an anchor in my life, where i found peace (haha even though it seems you always complained i treat your bed like a hotel), unlike anything i have experienced. we have our differences but we also have our similarities. my head is spinning and all our memories are flashing across, from the day we met til the day we ended. i'll move on, the thing you want me to do right now. move on i will, but without a significant other, not anymore in this lifetime. i'm young, yes, but my thoughts are beyond my years. i could have done more. i gave up helping others more, through my work, so that i can help myself and be with you. continue our journey together and probably rope you in also to help others. my dreams are huge, aspirations are great, and when they crumble, i will crumble with it too. i'm afraid of collasping again. i collaspe once and now with this i'm afraid i will. yesterday's migraine didnt come for along time already, never since i met you. my dream for us ended and the walls have crumbled. i dunno how to build the pieces back again and i pray that a miracle will light up my way and yours of course. give me time and i will learn to fly.

~~~~~~~~~~


I`LL BE THERE
I MISS YOU
I RESPECT YOU
MAYBE YOU`RE RIGHT
PLEASE FORGIVE ME
I THANK YOU
COUNT ON ME
LET ME HELP
I UNDERSTAND YOU
I LOVE YOU
A Love Story...His and Her Story...

He decided to remain friends, like the way she wants it to be. They can never be together and its best they remain as friends. Its a heavy decision for him to make, but the best one he can give. He don't want to see her cry about it, he don't want to see her upset about it. She knows he is doing his best, appreciates it and feels sorry about it. There is mutual respect for both from then on. A friendship bond that can outlast time, they pray. The good thing that came out of it, they knew more of each other. Though it may all seem funny and weird then on, both of them believe in GOD. HIS plans for both of them may seem pre-maturely ended, but its just part of HIS plan. Both of them will find happiness, and always remember their friendship.

~~~~~~~~~~

What a story i tell you. I'm touched by GOD and i pray that my heart will be steadfast. Their story touched my heart. Love will conquer all forever. Lets appreciate the moments we had together and know that the time that came was cherished and treasured, so be touched. =)

I'm hurt and sad now...No lying no nothing, just brutal honest truth. I have the most wonderful relationship i can imagine and yet it has to end. But i'm grateful that i had the chance, the time to make it cherished and treasured. I love her and nothing has changed.

Got my results for semester 1 today. as usual, surprises for me. i sometimes can shock myself at how i survived... hmmm but studies ain't my most worrying problem right now. It ain't concerning me right now...I'm just affected by love right now. Results doesnt matter to me at this moment.

but still...looks like i'm on track to graduate this semester and probably do my honours programme too yeah!!!!!!!

There is a hero in everyone of us. But how do you bring it out and do the very best? I'm standing here out in the cold. I'm tired, down and worn out. But one bright spark keeps me going on, Love. Wanna be a hero, a champion in his time and leader in his own right. Crazy it seems.

Its tough being a good son, a good brother, a good friend and a good man. My journey is long, its just beginning, but some journey has already pre-maturely ended, some has just begun.

Just some reflection i did after watching spider-man. Its tough really tough. Take time to digest our thoughts and think.

~~~~~~~~
A Love Story...His and Her story...

He's confused at this state. His heart is on one thing, her, but his mind is telling him to snap out. Which does he follow? Guess somethings can't go back to square one. Not even from scratch. He wanna make an effort to lift her up, but she seems to be avoiding it. Somethings come in between the time he wanna spend with her. Somethings just keeps getting in the way and pulling them apart. He just wanna see her smile, laugh and be loved. On his birthday he wished that they can be together, and that GOD can give him the strength to lift her up and love her unconditionally, to show her the way and light. And as he blew away the candle, he prayed hard that the wish will come true. Now he is in solitude and reflection, praying for the strength to cast upon the cold and rejected heart to turn back and embrace the warmth. But like a trampled rose, all beaten and alone, he has to bear the fall. The fall is painful but one thing comes into his mind, her, he knows its a fall he is willing to take for her. Nothing comes close when love conquer all the pain and hurt. Someday that love will shine brightly. =)

Open sea? probably thats why i got such a big heart to give and to love? and also a heart that is emotional and unstable? a heart that is clear and pristine like the open sea?

Monday, July 12, 2004

what about the world today, what is the place we call home? I have never felt so alone. If I can make one wish tonight, i wish upon the stars that somethings never change. But somethings just have to change, and somethings just don't. What is meant to be will be.

Serendipity...a fortunate accident. Gotta love it. Gotta hate it. When you have to wait years apart to find that someone you already met, so you can be with her. I would gladly exchange all for just one more lifetime with her.

All seems unreal, everything is out of place. Now i just feel like heading out to the beach. Scream it all out. Feel like heading off away from here. Leave the place. =/

Moonlight kiss...
I can feel my heart
And it's fit to burst
I try to clean it up
But I just get worse

Wish I could fall
On a night like this
Into your lovin' arms
For a moonlight kiss

I thought I saw your face
In the evenin' sky
On a lonesome cloud
That was driftin' by

I wish I could fall
On a night like this
Into your lovin' arms
For a moonlight kiss

You got someone else
Maybe it's for the best
Since I took the cure
For happiness

And I'd trade it all
On a night like this
For your lovin' arms
And a moonlight kiss

For your lovin' arms
And a moonlight kiss

Lovin' arms
And a moonlight kiss
Ooh, yeah

My Beautiful Friend
By Guy Sebastian


A million hearts are hurting cause they love you
Close your eyes and feel their arms around you now
Baby just like me I'm sure they're thinking of you
But know somehow this will all work out
I sat up on the roof

And stare at the stars now
For a reason why or something I can do
Every thing that mattered yesterday so far now
Away from you
What you're going through.. baby
But just you hold on girl (you gotta get through this)
Yes you are, and try to be strong girl (you know you can do this)
Cause baby love will conquer all
And it won't be long before you'll be dancing in the rain again
My beautiful friend
My beautiful friend..

If you ever feel there's no strength left inside you
Just know I'm by your side and holding your hand tight
Sometimes the moon is all the light you need to guide you
Through the darkest night
Let me be the light.. yeah
But just you hold on (you gotta get through this)
Yes you are, yes you are, and try to be strong (you know you can do this)
Cause baby love will conquer all
And it won't be long before you'll be dancing in the rain again

The desert soon will turn to bloom
You'll start to feel a change in you
The sky will seem a deeper blue than it ever was before
A whole new world will open up as you stand face to face with love
And though I can't imagine how you'll be more beautiful than you are now
(You gotta get through this)
Don't you be afraid girl just hold on (you know you can do this)
The only thing I'm sure of is that love will conquer all
And it won't be long before you'll be dancing in the rain again
Won't you save me one dance with you then?
My beautiful friend
My beautiful friend


This song is dedicated to you "L". You know what i mean. For us to know for the rest of the world to find out. I love you. =) Love can conquer all.

This chapter may have closed for me. But i hope you will find your new chapter. My story has ended, yours has just begun. I know you want me to move on. But somethings are just so. i guess enough is enough, i'm shutting down the heart. I can help it...so help me...
How Did I Fall In Love With You
By Backstreet Boys...


Remember when, we never needed each other
The best of friends like
Sister and Brother
We understood, we'd never be,
Alone

Those days are gone, and I you want so much
The night is long and I need your touch
Don't know what to say
I never meant to feel this way
Don't want to be
Alone tonight

[chorus:]
What can I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?

I hear your voice
And I start to tremble
Brings back the child that, I resemble

I cannot pretend, that we can still be friends
Don't want to be,
Alone tonight

[chorus:]
What can I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?

[Bridge:]
Oh I want to say this right
And it has to be tonight
Just need you to know, oh yeah

I don't want to live this life
I don't want to say goodbye
With you I wanna spend
The rest of my life

[chorus:]
What can I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?

What can I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
Everything's changed, we never knew

How did I fall,
in love ,
with you?


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hardest thing to do is to love someone and yet not to be love as. But its also the greatest gift you can do. I tried my best. Its all I can do for now. Any more than that, I will be crumbling apart. I can only wait in vain for the someone I love most who will never come.

They say good men or women are hard to come by, I guess they all have died or taken, mostly dead I think. I live in a wrong era, should not have been now, should have been then. So I can be the ones writing history and not living through history.

Feeling happy and sad. Happy coz i have given my best shot. Sad coz my best shot is not enough. Bittersweet.

The greatest Joy...............................Giving
The most powerful force in life..................Love
The greatest asset..............................Faith
The most endangered species.........Dedicated leaders
The most satisfying work...............Helping others
The most prized possession................Integrity

I live by this and try to make the best out of my everyday life.

=)
off to a slow start in my new year. oh boy. what the heck right. dunno why but i feel left out and it seems that everyone thinks i'm doing fine.
~~~~~~~~

i just had a serious reflection. i dont think i'm cut out to be attached with someone. i'm probably one who will suffer in a relationship. probably the one giving most of the time til it drives me crazy. i think i shall stick to being a drifter. time and time again someone will snatch time from me to be with that person. i guess its probably in my life i have to go thru. rather than both suffer, i rather do it on my own. i'm sensitive and emotional. however i'm compose and rational.

i think i shall stop all my dreams and aspiration. shall concentrate on helping those who need help.

so the dreams i have is now over. from now is start from scratch, no more distraction. no more dating game or the rat race. i'm fed up and finding it tougher each time as i get played out.

patience? i have no more patience. i'm getting impatient. impatient in terms of my calibre. who in this world can compare my patience with me? no one in this forsaken world can. i'm getting dumped by my own plus point. its a fucked up world and i'm getting sick of it.
~~~~~~~

my birthday celebration maybe simple yesterday, but its the most wonderful i had in all my life. celebrated and ended with me close to tears. i had expected family and friends to remember but not even my closest friends could remember rather its those i'm not as close who remembered. i guess i'm after all not the center. i think i am just another one more person in the world. its like this.

Friday, July 09, 2004

this post came in after i had a simple yet fabulous dinner with yan chyuan and siew yan. *sob sob* tears of happiness... they celebrated birthday for me...somehow it feels weird yet wonderfully appreciated. tonite is being the most wonderful in many years. had my first birthday cake in years and its a yummy mud cake...hmmmm

somehow though its my birthday. but i think its no surprise that i should thank mum for giving birth to me...after all she did most of the hard work carrying me...kakaka no offence dad but all you did was...ahemmm i shall not disclose too much details there...haha

i think tonight i can sleep wonderfully and embrace a new year ahead for me. what future holds is a challenge i will not back down. =)
supposedly the world witness the birth of someone significant. hmmm wonder who it is. Tom Hanks? or Richmond Tung? haha 9th of July. what meaning does it holds for me? i'm not too sure. i have missed celebrating my 21st birthday, never had a really decent birthday celebration in years. its like the birthday thingy is bringing a whole new meaning to me. its to say my days, months and years are numbered.

Let it be known from this insignificant day of our life, it shall give rise to the most significant individual the world will see. one day some how, lets see how man can this boy be. probably this man will still be a boy yah? hahaha but yupz lets see what the futures holds.

Thanx to all who remembered my birthday. Its been a lonely birthday every year. Lots of quiet time i suppose, should appreciate it.

fatso, orion, fatso, orion, fatso, orion, fatso, orion, fatso, orion, fatso, orion, fatso, orion, fatso, orion, fatso, orion, fatso, orion, fatso, orion, fatso, orion, fatso, orion, fatso, orion, fatso, orion, fatso, orion, fatso, orion, fatso, orion, fatso, orion, fatso.


~~~~~~~~~~

sometimes do you ever wonder how birthdays and calenders are similar?
they both remind you that your days are numbered!!! and the best part of birthdays are that, for a day its nice to have the world revolve around you.

~~~~~~~~~~~

had a few days to reflect after my last reflection. somethings are hard to accept despite telling myself its going to be alright, the world is like this. but i guess sometimes reality hurts. not that i don't know. some people are torn apart from decisions and 2 conflicting interests. i guess this semester being my last will be worst than usual. i have a sneaky feeling that lots of crazy stuff will pop up and hit me in the face again. crapz...

Tuesday, July 06, 2004

i have been keeping tabs on alot of things recently, UNHCR, Singapore Government succession, the polls in Indonesia, the situation in Iraq, monitoring the stocks exchange with an eagle eye and especially currency trading.

crazy you think? for me i don't think so. in fact i wish i could do more than that. keep an eye on technology advances, space and earthly explorations, politics, sports etc...

my world is filled with the promises of tomorrow. i can hear the wind call out the future. i can sense the happiness in the sun. the harmony of everything weave in one smooth motion.

sometimes it takes time to get used to the things you feel are not right. it takes longer or shorter time, really depends on your own perception. don't be held back too long. move on and strive for better things in life. i realise this too late. i miss the ride of my life. i wish i had done the things i should have done and not done the things i have done in regret.

i miss the past, but i look forward to the future. hopefully it will bring me better luck. history do repeat itself and i hope it won't happen again. so its better be the one writing history and go down in the books than to repeat what others have already done.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i'm frustrated at this moment. bursting out in anger. i'm about to explode. i dunno what to do. i can only immerse myself in music to calm that soul down. i'm fed up. 11.21pm

its so refreshing...
Being Bored

ever feel so down coz you have nothing much you can do in a situation like mine? your friends are in the city, your friends are having a wonderful holiday exploring, your friends parents are here to visit, and you are stuck here unable to do anything. so you end up being a caretaker for everyone, go to the virtual world and just stare blindly into the small 14 inch screen, worst of all, hear all your friends tell you they enjoying their holiday doing the things they like.

as for me i just sit in quiet reflection on how am i going to survive the onslaught of reality, the coming of the new "life" for me. choices to be made, tough ones in fact. sometimes life does get the better of you. then you end up stranded and all alone. funny, fantastic, tough, challenging and lovely i would say. the world is crazy after all.

Just had a reflection today. i realise its hard to stand up for what you believe in. but no matter how hard it is, somehow we still have faith in it.

"Great powers come great responsibility"
"Is there no one else?"
"I will fight for love, I will die for love"
"Somethings change, some don't"

Dun be mistaken by those sentences. i was just reflecting through it somehow. thought they somehow make sense yet they don't. It feels sucky to know yet dunno.

If I had 1 wish. I would wish that i could turn back time and start all over again. To spend the whole life searching for the answer i was searching for and to help those i have not been able to help.

Maybe I'm destined to be alone and live life giving and never to get. Its the giving that fulfils, its the loving that I grow and understand. The answer i will get, will only come when my time ends in this lifetime.
woke up to a beautiful morning. had a dream last night. kinda nostalgic. sort of remembered the times when dad was here in gippy visiting and he bought loads of stuff for the whole house to eat. made dinner together with us in the house and had dinner together... crazy ah lun still got that funny face and wide gleeful smile that i suppose we all had too, as we tucked into the sumptuous meal. miss those times.

hmmm...anyway i still don't feel too well. going to grab a glass of warm milk and shower first. before heading off to uni for some stuff. thanks for your concern pple. but i think i won't die so easily. :) hmmm who knows, its better to go early than to live longer?
