Letting Go

Some of us think that holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go. 

- Herman Hesse -

癢

來啊 快活啊 反正有大把時光
來啊 愛情啊 反正有大把愚妄
來啊 流浪啊 反正有大把方向
來啊 造作啊 反正有大把風光
啊... 癢...

Cage

You have been kept for long

And now it is the time

Your time

To let yourself be free

And another chapter of life 

Yet to be unfold with silver wings.

To New York with Love

Even if it ain’t all it seems, 

I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do

The future is scary, but you just can't run back to the past because it is familiar. Yes, it is tempting but it's a mistake.

To Fly

Feet... why do I need them if I have wings to fly? 

We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.

- Ray Bradbury -

Rebirth Flame

I want to reborn

As a whole new life

Burn me with flame

Like a rising phoenix

I will give birth to myself.

Eat Pray Love

“I met an old lady once, almost a hundred years old, and she told me, 'There are only two questions that human beings have ever fought over, all through history. How much do you love me? And Who's in charge?”

Elizabeth Gilbert - Eat Pray Love

The journey of a 1000 miles begins with one step

Without the first step there is no other steps. The moment you put the first step opens new journey and drive you to the new world.

If you have something in mind you hesitate to move forward, listen the voice of one of the most wise man from china, the author of Tao Te Ching, Laozi.

Do not worry about how you need to deal with the obstacles during the journey. You don't know what will come up to you. It's future. The most important thing is current moment, your first step. Put your first step toward thousand miles, life will take care of the journey.

Sun After Storm

There goes the sun after the storm

Just like another blissful moment.

    We enjoy the view of blushing clouds

As the warmth breeze come and caress me.

Turning Tables - Adele

 Have been listening to it since early this year and the lyrics are absolutely stunning. It sang about how complicated a human relationship can be - an abusive, volatile relationship.

Raining in Venice

There are many pedestrians who walk across this street

Feeling empty and vain

For they are struggling with their own stories

Carrying their own baggage of history

Life is just like a series of defining moment

Strung together by passing time.

Innocent Love

There was once when we are so naive and innocent.

We gave our very own heart to someone

But they selfishly broke it into pieces.

We pick them up 

And glue them back

Hoping to find the right owner

To accept our imperfections 

For who we are

And what we are.

There is always music amongst the trees in the garden, but our heart must be very quiet to hear it.

- Minnie Aumonier -

The art of smile

Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. 

- Mother Teresa -

Standing out

Why are you trying so hard to fit in when you were to born to stand out?
- Oprah Winfrey -

Complications

Humans are so complicated.

We fight and then we make up.

As in like nothing happens at all.

We sleep and wake up hoping everything's fine

but nothing change at all. 

Because it is still there

In every corner you walk

It still clings on you. 

Words are mightier than swords

Yet we have forgotten this theology.

Humans are so forgetful. 

We forget the every tiny bit moment we had in life.

All we do is to hate.

And that's what you and I are doing now.

 Humans are so complicated.

I had rather attempt something great and fail, 

than to attempt nothing at all and succeed. 

-Robert H. Schuller-

勇敢

已经很勇敢　还是很难过

The Waiting

I don't know why I am waiting.

Sometimes I don't even know what I am waiting for.

But I pause and I look around.

I don't move.

I don't decide.

Maybe I am waiting to decide who I am.

And who I want to be.

Arise

 

Empty Cups

Pure Imagination

Come with me

You'll be
In a world of pure imagination.
Traveling in the world
Of my creation

And what you see 

Will defy explanation.

Grace & Charm

Graceful and gracious is an art of self expression.

Beauty

" I am beautiful, inside and outside. 

And so do you.

So break that inner barrier

Unfold your silver wings

Unmask the true portrait of yourself

And show the eternal beauty of yours "

Scream

Screaming in imagination is so therapeutic.

Peace, Pure, Love

The sound of the bell, 

Brings peace upon us,

Purify the souls,

And to sown love among people.

MUET 800/4 Writing

" The most valuable thing in life is friendship". Do you agree?

Friendship is one of the most basic component in life. In life, friendship is the most valuable thing. One may agree to this statement while others may not. In this piece of essay, I will discuss the importance of friendship and the drawback of friendship.

What are friends for, you may ask. Besides family members, I am bold to say friends are the second closest people around us. And this brings to my first point that is friends are able to provide  a comfort zone around us. At hard times or at the brink of bursting out, they are the one who stand by us, comfort us and lend a helping hand to us. We feel more comfortable sharing our problem with them as they are great listeners too. They treasure us as much as how we treasure them as trustworthy friends. We share and care for each other. We laugh, cry and joke together. And that is why friendship balances us spiritually, emotionally and physically.

Let us turn to another perspective point of view - the drawback.  The famous psychologist, Abraham Maslow once deduced friendship will cultivate peer pressure.We tend to assimilate ourselves with our friends because friends play a greater role in part and parcel of life. However, friendship will bring a set of drawbacks when you mingle with the wrong friend. It decays our moral value causing us to be dehumanizing and inhospitable to others. A child who mingles with the wrong people, say, a drug dealer. This, of course, will definitely cause the growth and development of the child to be slanted away. And hence, this is the time when parents come to the situation to educate children on choosing friends wisely. 

Now let us all look into this matter in a very rational way. Is friendship the most valuable thing in life? Oxygen is valuable. Food and shelter are valuable. Family bonding is valuable too. One may say nothing is valuable and neither do they outweigh each other. I have faith in saying that everything is equally valuable whether in terms of human relationship or materials around us.

In retrospect, friendship does bring us the attention with its importance value but also carries the capacity with its set of drawbacks. It really depends on how we view the key word 'valuable'. It also depends on how we relate friendship in our life.  And with this, I rest my case.

An unsatisfied essay. But considering the time factor which is less than 30 minutes for this (coz' I spent too much time for the stoopid table chart), I think I can pat my head for this piece of simple essay I guess. =(

[EDIT]
Oh yeah, I got a Band 5 for my very first MUET exam. Quite satisfying.=)

Bear Hug

Wish to get one now, badly.

Breakdown

Just when you are so down and at the brink of bursting out.

Just when you feel like giving up everything.

There are still angels around giving hope to you.

Thanks to you guys.

Imagination

Imagine wishes will come true.

You may say I am a dreamer.

But I am not the only one.

As someday you will join us

And the world will live as one.

Hold me

Brokened

I am stressed.

Really stressed. 

='(

Accuse

Accusation.

A sharp word that defies humanity.

Why and what need to accuse for?

We are just another fragile creatures 

that should live harmoniously with others.

They can never understand

What paradise means to them.

It's only an illusion that 

vanishes once they get what they want. 

The world is just unfair,

don't you think?

Haunted by these unearthly, phantasmal, horrendous monsters

Peace and paradise can never exist in minds.

Ever.

Toughness

Life is tough. But I am tougher.

Lost Wonders

I am undiscovered now.

But I will be discovered in the course of time.

Love

Everyone deserves to love and be loved. It is nothing wrong to love and to share love with others too. But my focus now is not on love. And I think I don't need it right now. For now, I will be on my own first as I still have you staying beside me. Life is to be grateful.

Dissolve

My time

It's my time to rise

Walk through this hell

Become a hero
With stories to tell

I know that I am

Ready this time

It's my time

My time

It's my time now.

- Allegiance, Broadway Bound -

Break free

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. 

Let's break free and unleash the inner you.

The Hidden Beauty

They called me ugly when I was small.

But I am a real beauty queen now.

Limit

We are birds with clipped wings, flightless, chattering, feeding, living and imitating.

The skies the limit,
without wings that is all we have, there is nothing left. 

STPM

It is so hard. Really hard. Feel like giving up but I tell myself I can't. In fact, I cannot afford to give up now.

This exam really change me a lot. It makes me feel so much quiet than I am before now.

God, please grant me the energy and wisdom so that I can through this year peacefully.Please tell me to be stronger in minds and body.

The Swing

17 years ago, my grandma used to put me on this swing.

I sit on her lap, observing her wrinkled pair of hands.

17 years after, I came back to Ipoh and the swing is still there.

But grandma is no longer there. Only memories are left behind.

I get emotional every time looking at this picture.

It carries such a heavy meaningful message which cannot be folded by words.

Am grateful to freeze all these memories in this piece of picture.

Hoping that every time I see it, I see you too grandma.

A thought

Here are my some of my random thoughts.I have been down for so long time. I have keeping these all by myself and not single soul know about it. I guess I will just swallow it up and cheer myself up. Recently, I have been thinking again whether STPM is still my option or not. What if I did badly and enter a uni that I don't like? What if I did not get the courses that I like? All of my friends have already enter uni and havin' their own life there. But why am I still here? Many questions arise inside my thought. I have putting up a smile for quite some time. I am tired of it as I want to smile genuinely. I don't want to fake myself anymore. I have been all by myself all this while. Guess I will just let go myself and be free.

I am grateful I have a bunch of classmates who cheer me up at hard times too. At times, I always think that why my surrounding friends are always better and enjoying so much their life whereby I am not. But come to think of it, my life is not as bad as theirs too. This is what a friend told me in phone. In fact, I was told my life is the best among the all. I was blessed with all the stuffs I am having now. I can get what I want and desire and yet I still keep wanting more. How stupid I am. I don't even realise that I am having such a good and contented life. Thank God for sending an angel to realise how grateful I am.

Today, I managed to sent some of my friends in the airport. The feeling is not as bad as I had thought. In fact, it gave me an energy to sustain life and work harder so that one day I will be like them too, a person with goals and dreams in their hands. I want to be a better person too. Lord, please help with that. I am still grateful that I still have mom supports though I have been harsh all these while. I am sorry and love you, mom. And thanks Janice.

I will enjoy life from now on.

I am in love with the rain.

But sometimes when you are too much, 

I am afraid of you.

Shooting Stars.

-

Can we pretend that airplanes

In the night sky

Are like shooting stars

I could really use a wish right now.

A year older

On the 19th years old of age, I do not wish for anything this year.

I don't wish for presents.

I don't wish for fabulous dinner nor surprises.

I don't wish for anything.

All I want this year is that I hope to be a more HAPPIER person than I am now and there is NO more family conflicts.

• This year will be another year of rush, works, exams and the stepping stone for an unpredictable future. 
• Hereby, I pray for health and wisdom for me to withstand all the circumstances that come along the way throughout the year. 
• I also pray for self-esteem and confident in myself too so that I will not feel afraid in attempt  of anything I want.
• I pray for happiness and calmness in myself and I pray for success for all my friends who will be joining me in sitting STPM this year. 
• I pray for family love, proper education and long lasting friendships. 
• And most of all, I pray for myself to move on with life and leaving the past and be a more beautiful person. 
• Let's not give up during hard times and give our best smiles to the world. 
• Love family more!

And hereby, I sign off. =') 

Glasses of water

You see many glasses of water on the table,
 all filled with the same amount of water.
 And then you see among all the glasses
 The most beautiful glass
 And you also see
 A crooked and unshapely glass.

 Your mind would immediately think: Wow, the beautiful glass is so nice!
 And without thinking about it, you will automatically choose that beautiful glass instead of the ugly one.

Ever thought of the fact that they all contain the same water?
 It's just the feeling of drinking from the different type of glass that MAKES YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU GET SOMETHING BETTER.

Phrases

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own".

AFH = Away From Home.

Let's run away from home again, shall we?

Moving On

Moving on is leaving the past and be a more beautiful person.

The question is, are you ready to reborn yourself? 

And be more beautiful in person.

If I Die Young

If I die young, 

Bury me with satin, 

Lay me down,

On a bed of roses.

Sink me in the river at dawn,

Send me away with love songs.

Rising Angel

On the first day of the year, 

And from today onwards,

I will rise and embrace life.
