I JUST want to GO ON


I saw a very nice bouquet of flowers on the desk of a sick lady with a card saying: Get well soon. How much do we know about the symbol of flowers?

Flowers are given at special events. Different flowers stand a different meaning. Some flowers are used to express love, romance and appreciation. While the others are wishes for success, happiness or recovery from sickness. Hence, life has different phases.

There are times where one would face a tough time in their career. The working hours can get more exhaustive and energy consuming.
While I try catching my breath for the next event, I literally have no energy and time to think whether I will be able to cope with it.
What I can do is to go along with the flow until at the point where my physical and emotion become the limits. I am not being dramatic but that's the fact.

I know that I am not the only one fighting and there are many people outside there sharing the same fate. The road is still so long. There is so much yet so little time to do.
Sometimes, we doubt our ability. Sometimes, we find fault with our disability. If we search in depth, we will see the hero in us.
Though flowers are just a symbol, it also represents comfort and offer consolation. After a tedious hard work, wouldn't it be nice to receive a bouquet of gratitude. Before we heading a new start, wouldn't it be nice to receive a bouquet of "all the best".
As for what we did, there is always a reason to celebrate with flowers. As for now, a bouquet of courage would be nice. No matter what, I JUST want to GO ON.

P.S: A lil prayer for good health and peace....

If you can't make me thin, make my friends fat!

I reckon a few years ago that I had included a funny comic into my magazine. It was funny but can be true.
It reads:
Please God - If you can’t make me thin, make my friends fat!

I was having lunch with my colleague today when we suddenly brought upon this phrase. My point is being general. I am not speaking of the size but rather the attitude. Some people like to lament about life. When they don't do good in life, they'd rather to see the other counterparts to have the same fate.
But how fair can that be? Consider if one was working so hard to achieve things in life, it would be a norm if he was to succeed. On the other hand, if one was not working at all, what to be expected? That's as simple as 1+1=2.

There are people out there who would try so hard to bring down their friends just because they failed in work, exams, relationship, etc. I am not a counselor but any sane being would think that it's NOT right. Life is more than that.
Why work so hard to bring others down when these energies can be diverted to self-improvement? I believe that hard work will never go wasted. We just need that little bit 'touch' from the 'ONE' above to be successful.

There is a saying: The world can easily change but not one's attitude. So, if you don't help yourself, who would? Wouldn't it be a beautiful world if we cherished each other?


Confucius once quoted: The superior man is distressed by the limitations of his ability; he is not distressed by the fact that men do not recognize the ability that he has.

So, do you still want your friends to be FAT?

How perfect can a pair of glasses be?

Two days ago, the glasses just broke apart. I was really anxious because this is the only frameless pair that was available. It was through a soft manipulation of adjustment that the glasses decided to break. It was beyond amendment. How could that happen? I tried searching other alternatives for replacement, and in the end I found something else. But the feeling is different.

There is something else in our lives which was broken, can not be replaced.

For instance, trust.

For some, trust only can be once.
Trust is something that you give and expect to get.
Trust is the reason you hang on to a relationship, believing that things are going to work and get set.
Trust gives you security and to trust, is the highest consented risk you have ever bet.
But for some, trust is the only answer to desperation.
Clouding your judgment and action,
To believe something that you already knew it's not truthful.
To put more hope in order not to feel hurtful.
To run away from reality by masking the insecurity and vulnerability.
Because you don't want to lose after putting in so much time and energy,
into something that you hope one day will come true,
despite all the evidence pointing that it was just a delusion but not true.

So, which category do you fall into?

A gathering of peaceful eaters..

While there was a huge gathering preparation going on in town to hand in the petition on Sunday, we were having a small and light gathering at paddington hse of pancakes at 1U last night. I have to say that the environment is much better at the Curve.

So, there was a lot of chatting and catching up to do. Everyone still looked so young and ....ehem. Let us just smile, click!



Ok, I was hungry when I arrived late. My dish was Tokyo... no, not that Tokyo city. It's the food named Tokyo. Chicken ham, popia-like vegetable wrapper, mushroom sauce topping, ?pancakes, mashed potatoes,tomatoes and lots of mustard. Best to my recall. Ok, my fault not taking the the original picture coz I needed a quick gastro resus at that time.

Then, came the dessert: opss I can't recall the name. Just have a look at the picture. Ice-cream wrapped within a thin pancake, strawberries around, cream topping and apple dipped with coconut crust. Yummie... In fact we had another golden 'something' dessert. It was nice too, flooded with caramel topping!

Then there were exchanges of forks and knives battle.






So, this is the after-effect of a violent round of battle amongst the sweet-lovers! Guys, behave yourselves, s'il vous plait...




There was a small concert outside 1U. Pretty girls and boys flooded the whole place. Co-incidentally, ntv7 was having their roadshow there as well.

This is not a subway but the parking paying machine area. A long long queue. Yawn,,, wait until you see the traffic!!

Last night I heard the screaming...

Live birth is something every expectant mother looking forward to. Some would celebrate with joy, while others see the separation of their flesh from the body. It's always an emotional moment when it comes to speaking of the child's future.

For many fortunate children, they are born so beautifully wrapped with the love of their parents. While others don't even get to see their parents who opted to give them up to others for 'who knows' whaveter reasons they could come up with. Being non-judgmental can avoid any bias opinions and avoid further misunderstanding.

Perhaps life is not easy, but why to have another 'lil' life' if there wasn't enough space for 2 or more? Why putting oneself in a situation where one is going to suffer the fate and reap the consequence? So many questions, yet ignorance is clearly the picture.

Speaking of ignorance, can a lady get pregnant for 6 months not knowing she was pregnant? I am speaking of experienced mothers who have kids at home. Funny but it's true! Or ignorance is the best cover-up for guilt? So much so of the abhorrent deed, ain't these mothers suffer enough emotionally and physically? It's the matter of whether egg comes first or the hen?

Staying up 24 hours can be really taxing. But to reap the joy of extending your hands to receive these new creatures to this world while they scream with joy can be rewarding. A baby weighs 3.5kg can be difficult to deliver, what else a bigger one?

So, as maha as one can be, life should be cherished to the fullest coz you have already won half of the battle in life. For there are some who did not even make it to see the world.


P/S: with compliments to your doctor...-okay, a bias comment, hehe

Picture with strength


I came across this picture while browsing over some blogs. It was accompanied by a beautiful poem. I am not sure if it was written originally by the blog writer but I am simply amazed by this beautiful picture. Looking at how beautiful nature is.

Submerging ourselves in daily hectic life, we rarely aware of such beautiful scene. Even though I had a tough time working today, I still find pleasure at home doing things that I like. After a quick swim, I came blogging and tried searching for inspiration to write.

How great would it be to have the strength of these horses, keeping up with their elegance at fast pace but never failing to look back on that very place where they came from.

Numb...!

How many of us do really know what we want in life? Sometimes we just can't make decision. Not that we don't have an option but it's just so difficult. We know that it's so wrong but we just couldn't resist to choose that other path. Are we trying to be others or ourselves? So many questions, yet unanswered.

We become so numb that we can't feel ourselves. We are so tired so much more aware. We are so faithless and lost under the surface and don't know what we are expected and expecting. We felt being smothered every second and holding too tightly afraid to lose control because everything we thought we would be, has fallen apart in ourselves and others. Every step that we take is another mistake.

But who knows the answer lying ahead of every move that we made? Who can tell if what we did was wrong if not ourselves?

This song 'numb' is specially dedicated to people out there who are confused and caught in a dilemma, and still finding who they really are.

Zzzz...

I went to bed early last night. I was so tired that I did not switch off the lights and radio when I dozed off to sleep. I woke up in the middle of the night and realized that I had just dozed off. I didn't know what time was it and I didn't bother to check what was the time coz I was too tired. It's really a funny feeling and it's not the first time. I start to enjoy night time coz I could make myself feel comfy and relaxed. Guess I am getting lazy and lazier or older, hehe.... but my work is just making me more tired.
This picture above was taken on a dish that was served in a restaurant. It looks really nice on the picture. Oh, by the way, another holiday is on the stride. But again, I gotta work!

Reaching 100!

It's really great to know that I am the 100th person who logged on to this website. Well, i guess I'll keep the prize to myself, hehe. It's been a very busy day today. Working and working non-stop this time. At one point, you don't really realize time has passed that quick. It's kinda taxing coz my colleague and I, both had to deal with huge numbers of work at one time. I am beginning to feel tired and numb. Is this the life that I am looking forward in future? I doubt. I miss alot on travelling. Just can't wait for another long holiday, so that I can find a secluded area to rest my mind and body. But I guess, that's life. When you were given long holiday, you will get bored anyhow. If only I can make travelling as my job, then I guess, I'd really be satisfied and never get tired. Doing things that you like everyday is life. Not many people have that kinda luxury. Back to reality now, and work for a better tomorrow.

Evil inside you



Many used to say that there is an evil in everyone. I believe that's true. It's either you suppress it from coming out or you will be the evil. I see many evils. Some people keep giving excuses and telling lies in order to escape from their work. If you can't commit, then don't start in the first place. Up till this moment, I am fed up with people like that. Call it selfish, but I don't care anymore. You are paid to do your work. You can't finish, you better finish. Sounds evilish huh. That's because in the end, if I were the inofficial leader, people will call me an evil if I find a third party to cover that guy's ass. So, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding, it's always better to stay quiet and do your own job. Rational enough?
