Falling in LOVE


When you think of your past love, you may view it as a failure.
But when you find a new love, you view the past as a teacher.
In the game of love, it doesn't really matter who won or who lost.
What is important is you know when to hold on and when to let go!
You know you really love someone when you want him or her to be happy, even if their happiness means that you're not part of it.
Everything happens for the best.
If the person you love doesn't love you back, don't be afraid to love someone else again, for you'll never know unless you give it a try.
You'll never love a person you love unless you risk for love.
Love strives in hurting. If you don't get hurt, you don't learn how to love.
Love doesn't hurt all the time.
Though the hurting is still there to test you, to help you grow.
Don't find love, let love find you.
That's why it's called falling in love because you don't force yourself to fall.
You just fall.
You cannot finish a book without closing its chapters.
If you want to go on, then you have to leave the past as you turn the pages.
Love is not destroyed by a single failure or won by a single caress.
It is a lifetime venture in which we are always learning, discovering and growing.
The greatest irony of love is letting go when you need to hold on and holding on when you need to let go.
We lose someone we love only when we are destined to find someone else who can love us even more than we can love ourselves.
On falling out of love, take some time to heal and then get back on the horse.
But don't ever make the same mistake of riding the same one that threw you the first time.
To love is to risk rejection, to live is to risk dying, to hope is to risk failure.
But risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing!
To reach for another is to risk involvement, to expose your feelings is to expose true self, to love is to risk not to be loved in return.

How to define love:
Fall but do not stumble,
Be constant but not too persistent,
Share and never be unfair,
Understand and try not to demand,
Hurt but never keep the pain.

Love is like a knife.
It can stab the heart or it can carve wonderful images into the soul that always last for a lifetime.
Love is supposed to be the most wonderful feeling.
It should inspire you and give you joy and strength.
But sometimes the things that give you joy can also hurt you in the end.
Loving people means giving them the freedom who they choose to be and where they choose to be.
For all the heartaches and the tears, for gloomy days and fruitless years, you should give thanks, for you know, that there were the things that helped you grow.
Loving someone means giving him the freedom to find his way, whether it leads towards you or away from you.
Love is a painful risk to take but the risk must be taken no matter how scary or painful, for only then you'll experience the fullness of humanity and that is love.
Only love can hurt your heart, fill you with desire and tear you apart.
Only love can make you cry and only love knows why.
If you're not ready to cry, if you're not ready to take the risk, if you're not ready to feel the pain, then you're not ready to fall in love.
There was a time in our lives when we became afraid to fall in love 'coz every time we do, we get hurt, then I figured that's why it's called FALLING IN LOVE...

Life's A Climb But The View Is Great!




Two weeks ago, I went for another round of movie session with JustC. There was no other movie available at that time except for Hannah Montana.

He said "Its a kiddy movie, but what the heck, just watch lar."

Well actually I really don't mind, I've always enjoyed musical-singing-dancing-around shows.

Speaking of which, I so miss The Sound Of Music!

I am 16 going on 17...tadatadatada...

"The hills are alive, with the sound of music....ahhhhhhhhhhaaaa...
With songs they have sung for a thousand years.....ahhhhhhhaaaaa....

The hills fill my heart with the sound of music.....ahhhhhhaaaaa...

My heart wants to sing every song it hears.."


We sang this song in choir back in MGS Ipoh for a choir competition.


Back to Hannah Montana, The Movie. I enjoyed it so much.

I was so impressed by this talented girl, Miley Cyrus. She can sing and act so well, a truly born performer.

VictoriaC said that the father in the movie is his real dad, also a singer.

Indeed, when I checked out the movie cast in imbd, his dad's name is Billy Ray Cyrus.

Father & Daughter, how cool is that.

I was very much inspired by Hannah Montana and when cute Lucas Till said,

"Life's a climb, but the view is great!".

The movie got even better when she started singing this song,

"There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb"

Then she continues on to lift you up,

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going
And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on


This morning while I was driving to work, "The Climb" came on air.

The other day when I was outside my garden, I heard this song again from my neighbour's house.

I can't help it, I need to record this song down here.

It is so good that we have internet today, we can find songs with just one button, just google, youtube and imeem!






I can almost see it

That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what?s waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith


*This song reminds me of "When The Tough Get's Going, The Going Get's Tough!"*

Beautiful Livia



I still remember the day Gavin's beautiful baby was born. I still remember when lovers, Gavin and Jing Jing just started dating. And today Livia is so gorgeous like daddy and mommy. Proud daddy showed me the video that he made himself.

Over & Over

To a beautiful song by Rachael Yamagata. Muah. From someone very wonderful in my life. I was lifted up when she sings Let it rain, let it rain.



I really thought I was okay
I really thought I was just fine
But when I woke this time
There was nothing to take me back to sleep
To take you off my mind
This time

And I keep saying over and over and over and over again
Let it rain, let it rain
Over and over and over and over again
Let it rain, let it rain I need to hide within a storm
So have the ending come
And bring the winds that scream
And spill the fog all over town
And hold me in your standstill ground
And I will sink down
And you'll be washed away
You'll be washed away

Over and over and over and over again
Let it rain, let it rain
Over and over and over and over again
Let it rain, let it rain

I really thought I was okay
I really thought I was just fine
But when I woke up this time
There was nothing to take you off my mind

Over and over and over and over again
Let it rain, let it rain
Over and over and over and over again
Let it rain, let it rain I need to hide within the storm
So have the ending come
And bring the winds that scream
And spill the fog all over town
And break through every door
And strip away the tree
And raise the rivers high
Just help me drown
And hold me in your standstill ground
I will sink down
And you'll be washed away
You'll be washed away

Freedom 2009

The 2 days long awaited Freedom rave at A Famosa on the 29th and 30th May 2009. It was a Friday, after work I rushed back to pack my things and got ready to Malacca. We started our journey at 9pm and reached at around 11.30pm at D'Amour bungalow number 1265. The guys started to drink and finished up a bottle of blue label in less than an hour. Crazy people. Waited for everyone and only got in the rave at 1am. Ended at 2am sharp. So so short but sweet.
