A breath of new life

Lately, life is really a roller-coaster ride for me...Quit my job, got a new job that I realise I do not really like, lost someone I really love....Well, sometimes i feel that throughout my life, I have always made the wrong decisions. But no point regretting as it is the past. I should look towards the future. Learn from my mistakes. And I want to live life to the fullest. I told a friend that my ultimate dream and wish is to travel the world. So I will hold on to that to keep me going and hopefully I can realise my dream one day.

You'll think Of Me-Keith Urban

I woke up early this morning around 4 a.m.
With the moon shining bright as headlights on the interstate
I pulled the covers over my head and tried to catch some sleep
But thoughts of us kept keeping me awake

And ever since you found yourself in someone else's arms
I've been tryin' my best to get along
But that's ok, there's nothing left to say, but

Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need 'em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me, you'll think of me

I went out driving trying to clear my head
I tried to sweep out all the ruins that my emotions left
I guess I'm feeling just a little tired of this
And all the baggage that seems to still exist
It seems the only blessing I have left to my name
Is not knowing what we could have been, or what we should have been, so...

Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need 'em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cap and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me

Someday I'm gonna run across your mind
But don't worry, I'll be fine
I'm gonna be alright
While you're sleeping with your pride
Wishing I could hold you tight
I'll be over you, and on with my life

So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need 'em
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot betterbut you’ll think of me

So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need 'em
Take your space and all your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we got nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me,

you'll think of me, yeah
And you're gonna think of me oh yeah
Ohh someday baby, someday
Ooohh…

Keep having faith....

sometimes at certain points in your life, you just have to go through a stage of frustations and disappointment to really grow up......a stage or well, stages that makes you realise that what you believe and what you fight for prior to that is all bullshit....people betrays on you, your most trustworthy pal turn against you.....but we all know that we can't give up on anything.....just to keep fighting and keep having faith....soon, something better will come up...each of us will go through all these moments and the outcome actually depends on how we face and deal with it....to all those special ones who has been there for me, remember that I will be there for you as well...keep having faith....

what lies behind us or what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us- ralph waldo emerson

What could have been....

What could have been
If you are still here
Could life be more wonderful
More beautiful
What could have been
If your love is still around
Guarding this fragile heart
And not letting it shatter
Like now
What could have been
If your arms is still around
Protecting this weak being
From loneliness
And not letting it suffer
Like now
What could have been
I wonder
Each and everyday
What could have been
If one day
I will not be here
Will you miss me
Exactly how I miss you
Like now
What could have been
If true and strong love
Is still around
Nothing to be done
Except to wonder
What great things
That could have been
But not happen
Anymore

To be with you-Mr Big

This heart captures my heart today....

Hold on little girl
Show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you
Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I've seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you

Chorus
Why be alone when we can be together baby
You can make my life worthwhile
And I can make you start to smile
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
Come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you

Love you both....

Have I been a good daugther? Have I hurt my parents? Have I disobeyed them? Sometimes I feel I have not given much to my parents. Not spending enough time especially for the past year. Not given much happiness to them. Sometimes, when I look at them, I will feel sad as I know they not be with me anymore one day. I am scared as all along, I have them by my side. My dad has gone through a lot since the war days. To hear him talk about those days, I feel we are so blessed. My dad is someone who is very loyal man. For as long as I have known him, his daily breakfast is bread. He has been working for the same profession and same company for the past 20 years. He never fails to go for his morning walk every morning unless it is raining. I wish I can learn to be like him. He doesn't really care what other people say, as long as he knows he is doing the right thing. And my dad is a wise money spender. Every cent counts....
My mum? I inherited her personality of being "over-worried". Tend to think of every detail before doing something and when something goes wrong, we both will start to panic...She nags but it's all for my own good. So many times I wanted to tell not to worry as I am old enough to take care of myself but she will always be worried....Which mother does not, right?
I am blessed to have such wonderful parents. Will try to make them happy and show them that they have successfully raised a independent girl. Mum, dad although I never say it much, but I love you both and always treasure both of you.

India....

India...What is the most common thing that comes to your mind when it comes to India? To me, it will be the people, lots and lots of people...It was an eye-opening trip to India a few weeks back. I was there for about 1 week for a workshop. It is not as bad as I had imagined but some things are just unexpected like the driving culture. Cars without side mirrors are a norm. Even those with side mirrors never bother to flip it open. Reason? Easier to "squeez" through the heavy, heavy traffic. It takes a lot of courage and aggresiveness to drive in India. No joke...
Tasted a lot of different India food, some are delicious but some are a bit weird. Thanks to one of my colleague there, we were able to have a few last hours of pure Indian culture on the day we left for KL. Imagine, riding a tiny trishaw with two adult guys. Yes, it was an experience but pity the guy who pulled the trishaw. Must have been hard for him...
Bargaining is a must if you are to shop here. Prices can be lowered up till 80% but no guarantee the product is genuine or not.It was quite a disappointment that I did not get any Punjabi suits.
It was really a great experience. We went to a few historical monuments around town, the parliament house, the India gate, Qutab Minar...So, if given a chance, i will go back there again and that time around I will not miss Taj Mahal, definitely...

Edison with India Gate...

Yes, this trishaw can fit me, my local colleague and Edison...

Was forced to pay RP 50 for taking this picture...
