Just Because.

Ever wonder what hurts more, 'saying something and wishing you hadn't or saying nothing at all and then wishing you had?'


ohh the wonders of life..


"Young girl, don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall
Young girl, it's all right
Your tears will dry, you'll soon be free to fly"

When you're safe inside your room you tend to dream
Of a place where nothing's harder than it seems
No one ever wants or bothers to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means

When there's no one else,
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend,
Just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength
That will guide your way
If you will learn to begin
To trust the voice within

Yeah..
Life is a journey
It can take you everywhere you choose to go
As long as you're learning
You'll find all you'll ever need to know

You'll make it
You'll make it..
Just don't go forsaking yourself

You'll make it...

Deja Vu?

As i was staring at my lap top screen wondering just what to blog about, the phrase 'Deja Vu' came across my mind, just like that. Hmm..*wonders why*. Anyway, coming back to the post title, 'Deja Vu'..In reference to www.dictionary.com, Deja Vu is defined as the illusion of having previously experienced something actually being encountered for the first time. Hmm..scary as it seems? Well, most of us, at some point in our lives, would have had experienced a sense of 'deja vu'..Yes? No? Take for example, if you were to be lost in a jungle, when suddenly you hear a loud roar coming out of nowhere. What would be the first thing you'd do? Why..turn around of course, in search for the sound, and then what? You realized that there's a tiger, seemingly hungry for food, just right in front of you. Stunned, you step back slowly, by now having barely felt your legs. and Just when you're about to scream, your mouth freezes, suddenly. *Flashback Flashback Flashbacks* is all that's running through your head now. What do you see? *of spirals and spirals and spirals* The tiger looks at you, and and..what do you do now? You stare back..never having felt so timid and stunned before. The tiger walks slowly towards you, and you, having no time to even anticipate your next step or action, you continue staring at the tiger. How about the tiger itself? Stares back at you of course, with the ever-ready-to-pounce-on-you look. And so walking in circles, and circles, the tiger now comes closer, closer, and closer, still having its eyes laid upon you. And now, feeling your blood rushing all over the body, you can barely move, not even the slightest thought of running away had you, you now begin to shut your eyes, anticipating the worst. Then..then? After hours of waiting(seemingly), you begin wondering why nothing has yet to happen. Well, what were you anticipating, really? that by now the tiger would have pounced on you, tearing the human flesh into piec..*ok all these negative, disgusted thoughts has got to stop!* and so, you opened one eye slowly, just for a slight peek. You soon realized the tiger *jeng jeng jeng* lays nicely on the ground..(??-_-'') and seem to have this harmless look on its face? Somewhat like a cute little puppy gazing at you with its innocent eyes..Mesmerized, you then bend over, place your hand on its head, and start petting it..heh?Ehh??! *zzzzzapp!* and Now, reality has come back to haunt you, you realize again, that a fierce tiger is still just right in front of you..hm? and so now you have a choice, run like the wind and save yourself, or just remain standing, hoping and praying hard that *flashback* this deja vu you're experiencing now will be of the exact situation you thought you've actually encountered previously. The moment of truth has arrived, will it be 'Aww..just take a look at this cute lil puppy-like tiger..' or 'What was i thinking? Runnnn...!'

Now was that a Deja Vu, or not? You tell me. =D

p/s: LOL.

Strength vs Courage

It takes strength to be certain,
It takes courage to have doubts.

It takes strength to fit in,
It takes courage to stand out.

It takes strength to feel a friend's pain,
It takes courage to feel your own.

It takes strength to stand guard,
It takes courage to let down your own.

It takes strength to conquer,
It takes courage to surrender.

It takes strength to love,
It takes courage to be loved.

It takes strength to survive,
It takes courage to live.

At the Crossroads

Sometimes we find ourselves in the middle of nowhere,and sometimes in the middle of nowhere we find ourselves.

Last Weekend

Singapore, Ohh Singapore and Singapore! (new song ;D) *oops sorry high on chocolates maybe* =[

On the 31st of August 2008, my family and I were celebrating the country's National Day..in Singapore! :D erm..yes we're Malaysians. Okay there was no celebration in conjunction to that.
Anyway, after thinking twice, i decided to create a summary, short and brief. The pro(s): Saves both the author and reader's time =D

p/s: there weren't much pictures taken throughout the whole trip and some of the very few pictures that were taken turned out to be pretty blur, so bear with me teehee.

~Summary of the whole trip~

1st day: 29th August 2008, Friday - All set and ready for..Singapore! :D 6 passengers and few of our in-animate friends: the luggages, all nicely fitted into an Innova. Sweet.
After 5-6 long hours of traveling, *jeng jeng jeng* 'Welcome to Singapore'. Met up with the Chang family, had dinner and put up at their place. Nice family, kind and hospitable indeed.
Rest well and gear up for the next day!

2nd day
-Rise and Shine. Initial plan: Meet up with a few jurong youth in Jurong Point and have dinner with my sister(birthday treat) in the evening. Something came up and eventually a Plan B took over. Had brekkie with the Changs' and my sister afterwhich the adults went to Chinatown and the younger ones, *coughs* us :D went to Vivo City. Walked around and more or less window-shopped afterwhich the jurong youth came over and met us up in Vivo. and so after 2 hours or so of walking, we stepped into Ben & Jerry's (apparently better than Baskin Robbins, so they say). *no comments* but but but, we all enjoyed the oh-so-wonderfully-delicious ice-cream! 3 flavours in a pint: strawberry cheesecake, new york chocolate and cherry something. :) Daren (sis bf) then joined in later, while we were having ice-cream.

See the 'Ben & Jerry's' sign on top? :)

From left: Zilin(Chang), Ern Shern & Medalene
explain the mess on the table? *you might think*
Trust me when i say this: it wasn't all ours, in fact the crumpled tissues and that blue cap empty bottle thing was already on the table when we went and sit there. (no other choices, full house)

Take a closer look.

Hm..just the cups, un-used tissues and the folded tissue were ours :p

and so moving on, Window-Shopping and then..*minor highlight of the day* Candy Empire!!! Walk in and you'll see all sorts of candies, chocolates etc. The temptation..Irresistable! :(
(WAIT, IT'S CHOCOLATES) ok, change :) And so eventually i bought some candies and chocolates. Slight boredom came upon all of us and so we decided to sit in Mcds, have a drink and chit-chat. Random Picture:

From left: Eudora, Janelle, Audrey! (Jurong youths) ohh & me :D

Evening came, and the Chang siblings, the 3 of us (siblings) as well as Daren, then took the MRT and met up with the adults in Jurong Point for..Niy Niy's (spelled backwards) Birthday Treat! Kushinbo!!! So it was a Japanese Buffet and trust me..it was throughly a satisfying meal! Enjoyed it so very very much! A birthday cake was brought along but due to the 'fullness' in all of our stomachs, we then decided to go back (to the Chang's residence first) and then cut the cake.

Happy 21st Birthday Yin!

Mrs.Atkinson's Icing Cake! (all the way frm M'sia)

Happy Independent 21st 'che'! :)

Daren & Yin Yin

and all the ladies in the house say...

Cheese =D

cut! and take two..

Smile :)

3rd Day
-Went to LAP Church of Christ in the morning, and then some members brought us to 'Sketches' in Bugis Junction for lunch after church. Authentic Italian Food! Design your own pizza and pasta..mmm yummy! Had penne with pesto sauce. Go Green they say! didn't expect pasta to be so environmental friendly as well..the whole thing was green in colour with lots and lots of mushrooms (shitake mushrooms :D) on top, ham, chicken meat etc. Never judge a book by its cover they say..guess what? It turned out to be quite nice, no i mean it was delicious, seriously :)
So the night came and we went for dinner in uncle benny and aunty cecie's place. Nice place, good food, and a good-nice dog!

Meet Pepper!


and his rat *horrid scream*
(wait..it's fake, just his precious toy rat) ;D

4th Day

Home Sweet Home.

Byebye Singapore!
