Theme Song For The Month Of July

Very unique voice. I like it...

我会给你怀抱
我想我很快乐



这是一首简单的小情歌
唱着人们心肠的曲折
我想我很快乐
当有你的温热
脚边的空气转了
唱着我们心头的白鸽
我想我很适合
当一个歌颂者
青春在风中飘着
你知道就算大雨让这座城市颠倒
我会给你怀抱
受不了看见你背影来到
写下我度秒如年难捱的离骚
就算整个世界被寂寞绑票
我也不会奔跑
逃不了最后谁也都苍老
写下我时间和琴声交错的城堡
最后谁也都苍老

Kokoro is a Golf GTi and it's a HE...

Seems like I'm making up for lost time. I just don't want to pack everything together.

There are great news to be announced soon. Actually ONE piece of good news. No, not getting married. Stay tuned.

No pictures of Kokoro as yet. Trying to get it to look like a real hunky dudey before I take some REAL pictures and post them up.

Have I not announced that Kokoro is a 200bhp black 3 door monster more commonly known as the Volkswagen Golf GTi MKV?

Sweeeeet... I know. More to come...

Kokoro VS The Bank Account - Round 1 FIGHT!

Said to take it slow and I'm dying from the wait. Before I do anything rash, let me put this in words that I'm going to make far more money than what my Kokoro needs to be dressed up before I do dress it up. So the fashion statements got to just patiently wait for that glorious days. Right now, the coilovers will come first. It's looking like it's on stilts and this will not be tolerated, let alone the body rolls... Wooot!

After speaking tot the rep from APR, I felt confident enough to go the dark side but that will take place in a couple more months to go. The exhaust will have to go with the rear valence and at the same time, without moving up to Stage 2, it's pointless. Meanwhile, it might be good to go up to Stage 1 first and try it out. And if you're having a headache and these things don't quite make sense to you, it's normal. You won't wanna know unless you're got a large enough bank account to play with. I don't... So... Thou shalt be good and give my still "campus" UOB account a rest. As the Chinese saying go, to rest is to prepare one for the longer journey that lies ahead.

Solitary Is A Luxury

It's been almost a week of disappearing act from me yet again. I wanted to say I've done alot of thinking but truth is, I haven't. Good news being, I have concluded the general direction I wanna head so I'm slowly working towards it. I woke up this morning, feeling absolutely fantastic. I was driving from work and felt life is so wonderful, with or without anyone. Of course, having someone who can be there for you is a bonus but without them, life is still as good and it will go on. It boils down to our perspective and what we think of life in general. Once that is sorted, life is ready to embark on a fresh journey.

One variable and one time. Life is great and my new variant is going to take me to greater heights. This will be a tough journey but I believe it's going to be absolutely fulfilling. What is needed from me is a hell load of dedication and commitment and I'll telling you, I'm ready to go!!!

People come and go. People who appreciate me for who I am will stay for what they want out of me. There is no point for me to long and hang for what is not mine and will not be mine. Not wanting to sound narcissistic, I am not unwanted nor unattractive. I may have wrong people around me all the time but if I work to move North, I will get there some day. Meanwhile, all I want to do is to concentrate on my new journey.

If you see the value in me and what a wonderful person I am, we will get there one day. Meanwhile, I'm just happy being me and I will just be me. Single and happy.

Messy Missy

All messed up.

I know what I should do and I want to do it. Maybe through baby steps I will. But right now, I'm afraid of giving anything to anyone, anymore. Guess it's mild hypercondria I need to get out of.

As much as I know what shouldn't be doing some things, I'm sitting here, sobbing and not wanting to care anymore. But knowing the rational side of me will sit in real soon to end this hiatus, I'm aware of the repercussions this temporary insanity is going to bring and I'm not prepared to live my life with it and accordingly.



If I want to be the good girl that I think I am but am I sending out wrong messages, then I shall endeavor to do the little things to keep myself in track. A constant conscious reminder to self...

Taken off my cousin's blog and her hopes for me... That left me in tears on how much I long to just have you in my arms and nothing else...

Love once left me cold and gray
I had almost reached heaven
Just to feel it slip away
But life's too short to waste away
Being scared to take chances
Or so I've heard wise men say

I wanna be loved
Faithful and true
I wanna be loved
Ten million lifetimes with you
I wanna be loved
And after all I've been through
I'll let my heart take it's chances, just to be loved by you

I wanna feel there's a reason for living again
I want us to fly far away
And I want my heart to sing the words only you can understand
So put your hand in mine, say a prayer tonight
So that we may find love

Maybe If I Hope A Little, Try A Little More

Someone sent me this... She seem to know exactly how I'm feeling although the last time I spoke to her was months ago and she probably don't know what's going on with me or what's wrong with my life at this point. It's a tear-jerker...



Have you wondered how it feels when it's all over
Wondered how it feels when you just have to start anew
Never knowing where you're going
When you face a brand new day
It used to be that way
Now I just close my eyes and say

I just want to breathe again
Learn to face the joy and pain
Discover how to laugh a little , cry a little
Live a little more
I just wanna face the day
Forget about the woes of yesterday
Maybe if I hope a little
Try a little more
I'll breathe again

Starting out again is never easy
Disappointments come and go but life still moves on
With a bit of luck It's a brand new start
That might just work my way
No need to walk away
Don't want to live on life replay

Things will work out fine
If you can find the courage to look past the night
To see the break of dawn

Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough

Seems like things have come to a close last night. Or so it appears...

Hitting on the stop button but while staring at the blank screen, it messes up your brains. Maybe it's just the pause button. Doesn't move too right? It hits home real hard when someone shakes you up and points to the big red dot that reads STOP. The surreal image stares in your face.

The brain freezes. The hands turned numb. The head spins. The throat dries. The breathing speeds up. The tears run...

Uncontrollably...

I thought I prayed. I thought I did all in my might. I thought you cared enough. I thought... Or so I thought.

Never had I have this feeling before. Not knowing how to handle it, I prayed. Everytime I open, I cry. Maybe that's God's way of healing me. The tears were filled up to the brim and maybe that's why I couldn't breathe. Regaining the ability to breathe doesn't quite work hand in hand with having a clear mind. Had I not placed all my chips in this one bet, I might not lost this big. It was my choice. It is my choice.

Insanity probably comes closest in any form of explanation and definition. I have finally let it all go.

I don't wanna lose you,
I don't wanna use you
Just to have somebody by my side
And I don't wanna hate you
I don't wanna take you
But I don't wanna be the one to cry
That don't really matter to anyone, anymore
But like a fool I keep losing my place
And I keep seeing you walk through that door

But there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know its your heart you can't trust
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough

Now I could never change you
I don't wanna blame you
Baby you don't have to take the fall
Yes I may have hurt you
But I did not desert you
Maybe I just wanna have it all
It makes a sound like thunder
It makes me feel like rain
And like a fool who will never see the truth
I keep thinking somethings gonna change

But there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know its your heart you can't trust
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough

And there's no way home
When it's late at night and you're all alone
Are there things that you wanted to say
Do you feel me beside you in your bed
There beside you where I used to lay

And there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know its your heart they can't touch.
There's a reason why people don't stay who they are
Cause baby sometimes love just ain't enough.
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough.


Thanks for everything. It was a great long drive.

Carpe Diem

So many variables in my life. Too much for comfort. Too much for my puny brains. Decisions, decisions, decisions...

Push? Pull? Push? Pull? But what the hell?

Get lost right now... Or so I told myself. What am I getting myself into?

The right mindset. But what is right? What mindset? But what the freaking hell?

Can't you tell I'm lost?

Thou shalt not play with fire but after speaking to Alkie Empress Dowager, I've decided to live my life for now. I don't think I have the energy to insist on having the life I want anymore. The people who are meant to complete the picture have all died into the surroundings. I have blended into a patch of grey water colour, neither here nor there. Carpe diem...

Some people makes you ache and yet you long for them. Some people makes your heart beat fast and laugh but you push them further. Some people are just not right, you condone. Is that all wrong? God works in mysterious ways.

Before you know it, I'm long gone...



I know if I could find the words
To touch you deep inside
You'll give my dreams just one more chance
To let this be our last goodbye

Monday, June 16, 2008

You & I Both

Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
Oh taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side
And balancing the whole thing
But often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright lights turn to night
Until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me


It's been a while. Besides Kokoro taking some of my time trying to get some new shoes on for him and organising to get him to look better, I've been pretty messed up.

Everything at home seems fine. It was a day to pamper Daddy yesterday and was at Vivocity. Think he was chuffed when he was ushered into the private room at Crystal Jade.

After some time of not hearing the voice, I thought I'd not be bothered. Load of codswallop. I can't seem to get past myself so I filled my life with more colours and voices. Talking to Alkie Empress Dowager and Babe Jie Jie made me feel that I'm not all alone in the world. Friends are great consolations that life has so much more to offer. Taking this bit of time to nip out made me see that if this is not meant to me, there should be no reason why I should be around to create more problems for everyone.

And it's okay if you have go away
Oh just remember the telephone works both ways
And if I never ever hear them ring
If nothing else I'll think the bells inside
Have finally found you someone else and that's okay
Cause I'll remember everything you sang


To think of the dreams we built, the songs we sang and the love (or maybe not) we shared, it's painful to let it off the system. Having said that, if it is an impossibility, why am I insisting on being the stupid one?

Shall we talk?

明月光 為何又照地堂
寧願在公園躲藏 不想喝湯
任由目光 留在漫畫一角
為何望母親一眼就如罰留堂

孩童只盼望歡樂 大人只知道寄望
為何都不大懂得努力體恤對方
大門外有蟋蟀 迴響卻如同幻覺
SHALL WE TALK, SHALL WE TALK
就當重新手拖手去上學堂

陪我講 陪我講出我們最後何以生疏
誰怕講 誰會可悲得過孤獨探戈
難得 可以同座 何以 要忌諱赤裸
如果心聲真有療效 誰怕暴露更多
(你別怕我)

螢幕發光 無論什麼都看
情人在分手邊緣只敢喝湯
若沉默似金 還談什麼戀愛
寧願在發聲機器面前笑著忙

成人只寄望收穫 情人只聽見承諾
為何都不大懂得努力珍惜對方
螳螂面對蟋蟀 迴響也如同幻覺
SHALL WE TALK, SHALL WE TALK
就算牙關開始打震 別說謊

陪我講 陪我親身正視眼淚誰跌得多
無法講 除非彼此已失去了能力觸摸
鈴聲 可以寧靜 難過 卻避不過
如果沉默太沉重 別要輕輕帶過

明月光 為何未照地堂
孩兒在公司很忙 不需喝湯
SHALL WE TALK 斜陽白趕一趟
沉默令我聽得見葉兒聲聲降



well I'm almost finally, finally, finally out of words.

有些坚持却永远磨不掉



用起伏的背影 挡住哭泣的心
有些故事 不必说给 每个人听
许多眼睛 看的太浅太近
错过我没被看见 那个自己
用简单的言语 解开超载的心
有些情绪 是该说给 懂的人听
你的热泪 比我激动怜惜
我发誓要更努力 更有勇气
等下一个天亮 去上次牵手赏花那里散步好吗
有些积雪会自己融化
你的肩膀是我豁达的天堂
等下一个天亮 把偷拍我看海的照片送我好吗
我喜欢我飞舞的头发
和飘着雨还是眺望的眼光
时间可以磨去我的棱角
有些坚持却永远磨不掉
请容许我 小小的骄傲
因为有你这样的依靠

You And I Both

Running in is the most painful process especially when I've given myself till Tuesday to do so and the last I checked, I've only clocked 300+km. Taking nice long drives are within the plans but combined with serious efforts of keeping myself busy with alot of voices around me. Driving around alone reminds me of the possibility of having a familiar face singing along to Jason Mraz with me in the car taking the long running in drive to nowhere.

Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me

I may not have the cutest face nor the best personality around but that doesn't warrant a disappearing act. I may be an insignificant nobody who comes and goes in your vibrant life but the difference you have made can't be wiped away overnight. If things don't work, you know it better than everyone else from being the counsellor and first party that closures are necessary. This is such a mess I can't wait to get out of.

Darling you got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
I'll be here 'til the end of time
So you got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?

It's always tease, tease, tease
You're happy when I'm on my knees
One day is fine the next is black
So if you want me off your back
Well come on and let me know
Should I stay or should I go?

Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
An' if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know...

This indecision's bugging me
If you don't want me, set me free
Exactly who I'm supposed to be
Don't you know which clothes even fit me?
Come on and let me know
Should I cool it or should I blow?


Back to Kokoro, I've been spending sleepless nights (sleepless not due to Kokoro) thinking about engine oil change, transmission issues... My waist and hair volume are apparently going at opposite ends in terms of volume, non-favourable unfortunately. I wish I have someone to bug to about Kokoro... Excluding people like Fatshark, Kenntona, Como, Silver...

Do I need to reiterate that I am NOT a boy?

What happened to "everything will just be fine?"

Thursday, June 12, 2008

What Just Happened?

Picked up Kokoro and I've been spending all my time running around and trying to get my life sorted. More often than not, I sink into a daze I couldn't get out of. Tell me it was a dream. I have no idea what's going on. When people ask how am I doing, I don't have an answer readily. If I go with an "ok", I am lying through my teeth and everyone could see it. If I go with a "no", I don't quite have an explanation for why I'm not ok but I'm just not ok. My hands are constantly cold and sweaty. Driving alone just encourages tears.

For those of you who are awaiting for more news of Kokoro, watch this space.

到最后, 心痛了, 放弃了, 哭泣了

I need a shoulder for these tears... I'm so tired.



我和你啊存在一种危险关系
彼此挟持这另一部份的自己
本以为这完整了爱的定义
那就乖乖的守护着你
相爱变成猜忌怀疑的烂游戏
规则是要憋着呼吸越靠越近
但你的温柔是我唯一沉溺
你是爱我的就不怕有缝隙
在我心上用力的开一枪
让一切归零在这声巨响
如果爱是说什么都不能放
我不挣扎反正我也没差

人质在这一刻得到释放
相爱的纯粹落得如此下场
你满意吗我们都别说谎

I Want My Kokoro Now!

There's been so much delay and I thought I'd finally be able to see my Kokoro. It's like seeing your long lost sibling. You feel that you know them so well but in actual fact, you don't really know them until you interact with them. The timeline gets delayed further and further and my poor Kokoro is not even registered which makes it still illegal for local roads. Having a soft heart doesn't quite help in me trying to brace myself to scream at the SE. On top of which, I didn't have the strength to bring myself to.

Hourly countdown to 5.30pm tomorrow...

Also, it's not helping that I'm constantly on the verge of braking into tears.

Crypt-onite

All I want to do is find a way back into love.

Being cryptic is probably the last thing on my mind while deciding to type out my frustrations today. Saying it's frustration is purely under describing it. I'm exasperated and all ready to take a break in life and disappear for a good while, away from people I know, from work, from life, from every single freaking disturbing thing. Often caught disgruntled with trust issues and people I love, I'm not usually this easily affected. I do hold my breath and patience exceptionally well in my whole honest opinion.

All hell broke loose emotionally and if there's a better way to describe it, I can't think of any right now.

What do I do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard


The guessing game is anything but fun. I've always believed to hold one's silence is the best way to go in terms of not filthily involved. But when the truth gets further and further away, beyond reasonable reach (beginner to sound like a criminal law essay), one retreats in fear and rebound with anger.

I need to breathe...

kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor


Heck it, I don't want to be bothered anymore!

Roar!

蓝天

忽醒忽睡 我又挣扎了一夜 窗外透进 几丝光线
空荡的房间 留着你的照片 幸福的感觉 索然无味


无心唱歌 却又拨断琴弦 所有的事 留给明天
感情的善变 挖空心思遮掩 谁能用真心 说抱歉

我陷在爱里面 渐渐疲惫的脸
仿佛是退不出 又走不进你的世界

我陷在爱里面 是谁停住时间
越过了重重的心墙 有一整片蓝天

就陷在爱里面 一张无辜的脸
仿佛是退不出 又走不进你的世界
我陷在爱里面 谁停住了时间
越过了重重的心墙 有一整片蓝天

Kokoro Comes, Kokoro Goes

The snuggle seems to be evolving into a struggle. The ache reminds one of staring at the situation for far too long and feeling the pain of an onlooker. Disappointment is but one of the hundreds of mixed emotions. Constantly reminding myself I have the walk the walk, talk the walk, all by myself.

This feels very much like a two way radio, except that I kept talking into one, kept "roger-ing" into the walkie-talkie, thinking that one day my messages will be heard. Little do I know, the other walkie with the same frequency might have forgotten to recharge or went back to its last frequency. The frequency may not be the clearest for all we know, though on this side of the walkie we too do not know if the other walkie has been turned off. Not knowing doesn't mean stopping to give, tears and aches lead to disappointment and emptiness that catalyse the impending departure. Courage can only do so much and too much courage spells brainlessness.

True love waits for no one when it's blinking right in front of you. Before you know it, it's all gone. To fight and struggle is part of an attempt to save a belief. The belief erodes, trust fades, love hangs on with the very last bit of pain. We all know it's gone... Why didn't anyone tell me? I think everyone did, I chose to shut my ears and refused to face up to reality. I think it's time I take my leave...

The once upon a time long drive, the afternoon anticipation to hear the voice, the conversations filled with excessive but enjoyable laughters, the nights without any form of response. It's not just honey, it's Manuka. And you'd think it's special...

The best birthday could well be the worst. But what do I know... 我很好



沙发上睡着
孤单冷醒的破晓
冷的面条热的泪痕
啤酒在苦笑
当时的煎熬
当时的心痛如绞
天终于亮了
遗憾终于退潮
终于能够恨不再疯
泪不再掉心不跑
一定会有一个人
一段新的美好

谁让我拥抱
谁让我再一次心跳
就算爱情让我再次的跌倒
伤痕也要是一种骄傲
谁让我拥抱
谁让我疯狂的心跳
就算明天整个城市要倾倒
也让我爱到最后一秒
丢掉电影票
删掉信件跟合照
洗了床单剪了头发
清空了烦恼
恨可以很小
小到眼泪能冲掉
我现在很好
可以重新起跑
终于能够恨不再疯
泪不再掉心不跑
一定会有一个人
一段新的美好

谁让我拥抱
谁让我再一次心跳
就算爱情让我再次的跌倒
伤痕也要是一种骄傲
谁让我拥抱
谁让我疯狂的心跳
就算明天整个城市要倾倒
也让我爱到最后一秒

地铁涌出了人潮
幸福涌出了预兆
我会找回当初对爱天真的霸道

谁让我拥抱
谁让我再一次心跳
就算爱情让我再次的跌倒
伤痕也要是一种骄傲
谁让我拥抱
谁让我疯狂的心跳
就算明天整个城市要倾倒
也让我爱到最后一秒
谁让我拥抱
谁让我疯狂的心跳
就算明天整个城市要倾倒
也让我爱到最后一秒

On a separate note, Kokoro will report for first day at work on Tuesday. *Roar

我为什么那么爱你

往大海里沉没
一动不动
到烟头烫了你的手
不要说什么都别刺破
就算结束
努力温暖到最后
我想静静离开
你却从背后
拉住我的手
你并没有用力
怎么我那么痛
我多想说没有关系
我还爱你
却挤不出一丝力气
是我错过什么记忆
才从幸福跳到这里
最怕自己从今以后
什么都不相信
当初多勇敢爱了你
多勇敢才能原谅你
我为什么那么爱你
爱到什么都说可以

发誓绝不做的事情
现在做的不想放弃
爱情到底让人脆弱
还是让人坚定
我用尽最后的力气
从头到尾都没有哭泣
爱曾是我盲目的理由
你犯的错
除了我别人都看透
暮色中
心特别的寂寞
眼眶的泪
该为你还是为我流

Trust My Kokoro

Since young, my parents gave me alot of freedom. As I was growing up, I understood why. Dad being a very strict parent, would never allow me to stay out, afraid that I would be led astray. Given my personality, I would have fallen to the dark side pretty easily. But as I grew older, Mom and Dad never bugged me for staying out late, drinking, partying because I would always inform them volunteerily of my whereabouts and they never had to worry. I came home at the time which I said I would and I did. Before I knew it, they couldn't be bothered anymore. When much younger, I used to think I had little freedom. Subsequently, I realised that was necessary at that given stage of my growing up. In fact, I'm grateful for all that because that meant that I'm enjoying endless freedom since I gained independence from allowing them to trust me.

Trust determines whether we allow ourselves to be friends of others or to fall in love. But getting betrayed of this trust is something I'm too used to experiencing. So much so, I'm actually numb and forgot how trusting someone feels like. Just a feel months back, I thought I could trust someone with my life. Without much thought, I willingly gave my life to him. Relative to people who say yes to proposals not knowing what they are getting themselves into, I knew that was what I wanted and I was a willing sheep. Nope it wasn't a proposal so don't start calling me and I'm still single, just not available that's all. I knew I was in imminent danger because I have never trusted someone so much and never felt that I could give away my lifetime. Until now, I still feel the same. But somewhere along the way, second thoughts hit and before I knew it, you were gone. When I was finally told, "I'll talk to you when I'm back", I knew you were just too far away. The trust I had was shattered. The only time in my life, I stupidly stayed put and allow myself to be hurt once and again. All because I trusted one person. Maybe I shouldn't but I did and still do. How incorrigible and stubborn can one get. I'm a monkey, damn it, not a cow.

It's the same thing for friends. People you think you trust them with every last deepest darkest secret you carry, may for not reason, turn their back and say hurting things about you. I don't usually give a damn. Yes, I'm actually a boy stuck in a girl's body. I can have a proper conversation with you regarding cars. That aside, only when I genuinely consider some people as friends, I trust them with my life. Not the same as the instance in the second paragraph. That's unique and never before. It's a one off incident and will probably occur to only one person. But when it's friends, on a general level, I expect to be treated genuinely. Not too much to ask for but it seldom materialises itself and bloom into what you thought that you have been seeing. Even giving all that you can, people mistaken your actions and act against them. Tragedy for an insignificant life.

All I wanna do is to hide in your arms and seek refuge...

Following some question marks, I have decided to give "Goma" a more permanent name. As I mentioned earlier, it was just temporary until I go fetch it. Now that the date is drawing near, I have one suggestion putting out and hoping to get some feedback. I actually like this...

Kokoro (心:こころ) is a concept that crosses through many martial arts, but has no single discrete meaning. In context, it means something like "heart," "character," or "attitude." Character is a central concept in karate, and in keeping with the do nature of modern karate, there is a great emphasis on improving oneself. It is often said that the art of karate is for self-defense; not injuring one's opponent is the highest expression of the art.

If you read it in Chinese, it's the "heart". All I wanna do now is to take good care of my heart...

I… can’t get out of bed today
Or get you off my mind
I just can’t seem to find a way
To leave the love behind

I ain’t tripping
I’m just missing you
You know what I’m saying
You know what I mean

You’ve kept me hanging from a string
While you make me cry
I’ve tried to give you everything
But you just give me lies

I ain’t tripping
I’m just missing you
You know what I’m saying
You know what I mean

Every now and then when I’m all alone
I’d be wishing that you would call me on the telephone
Say you want me back but you never do
I feel like such a fool
There’s nothing I can do
I’m such a fool for you

I can’t take it
What am I waiting for?
I’m still breaking
I miss you even more
And I can’t fake it
The way I could before
I hate you but I love you
I can’t stop thinking of you
It’s true, I’m stuck on you

Now loves a broken record that’s been
Skipping in my head
I keep singing yesterday
Why we have to play these games we play

I ain’t tripping
I’m just missing you
You know what I’m saying
You know what I mean
Every now and then when I’m all alone
I’d be wishing that you would call me on the telephone
Say you want me back but you never do
I feel like such a fool

I can’t take it
What am I waiting for?
I’m still breaking
I miss you even more
And I can’t fake it
The way I could before
I hate you but I love you
I can’t stop thinking of you
It’s true, I’m stuck on you

Every now and then when I’m all alone
I’d be wishing that you would call me on the telephone
Say you want me back but you never do
I feel like such a fool
There’s nothing I can do
I’m such a fool for you

I can’t take it
What am I waiting for?
I’m still breaking
I miss you even more
And I can’t fake it
The way I could before
I hate you but I love you
I can’t stop thinking of you
I hate you but I love you
I can’t stop thinking of you
Don’t know what to do
I’m stuck on you

Granite Grey Graphite Grey Overcast Grey



This is almost a done deal. I've decided to go for these Prodrive GC014i in 18". The 19" will kill me in terms of rubber changing as Michelin's PS2 aren't quite known to have a long lifespan. When I visited Leong Seng last week, I was adamant on getting the Volk but when I saw the Prodrive's, considering it weighs almost like the Volk, I was tempted. In the end, it was just a tossup within the Prodrives, namely GC07C, GC10E and the GC014i. The GC014i just have the right well crafted spokes, I was immediately sold although the only BBK that would fit in time to come, would only be the Alcons. I shall give Leong Seng another call to make sure that they still have it.

Taking of delivery will tentatively take place coming Sunday or Monday and anyhoo, I'd most likely have to take Monday off.

Skeeter Mom will be flying off to Germany to visit Fatshark Guru and they will be doing major "killings" in France and Switzerland. My shopping list and Euros are in the good hands of Skeeter Mom and fingers crossed, she will be back with either my Miu Miu Coffer or some LVs. Surprisingly, the Miu Mius would be the more pricey buys but I have no qualms. Totally sold to the idea of a casual classic and besides, suits me to a T.

Shoes and bags totally kill us women in very polarised ways. Men will never understand, rarely... Probably Fatshark Guru does. Then again... During lunch with Skeeter Mom today led to another little purchase of a pair of stiletto pumps and in anticipation of waiting for Pilotsnoopy to end his meeting, shopping in town is inevitable. I might just be able to ward off the temptations but if I'm allowed to run into some well-detailed heeled sandals, I'd melt in a heartbeat and before long, the credit card will leave my wallet for 30 seconds though it's daily regular ritual of stripping the bank account dry.

In the all of nothing game that I'm playing in almost every aspect of my life, I've been hit really bad yesterday. Like what Babooshka Mom said, aren't we all too familiar. It just so happened that it was big numbers we were talking about and it's the entire's quarter's pipeline all turned to ashes after a few phonecalls. And I have zero control over anything. Weekend and late night firefighting have all gone back to naught and I'm back on the finishing line, except that it reads, "Start" all over again. What a bugger! My Milltek exhaust is waiting for me... Pah! Good thing about being in our line, it's never all over.

Big girls don't cry. Breathe...

Prayers give me faith, faith gives me hope and hope gives me pictures of brighter tomorrow. We have once painted these but it seems blurrer and blurrer as the day passes. It could be my eyes failing. I can only hope that my bridge of faith doesn't fail because I've been keeping you in my prayers. With all the strength that I have remaining, there is only so much one can do. I've exhausted my means (if they even existed to begin with) and I am exhausted. I'm turning into a complete nutter! Maybe I've always been one but just totally unaware of.

Am I rambling again? Don't you all love it?

Malaysian Immigration

This story is taken from Asia One.

Travellers See Red Over White Cards

For myself, I experienced the messed up first hand but in a much smaller scale and thankfully, I wasn't stuck behind some massive jam. The Malaysian government had decided at their whim that they want to collect the white cards at immigration after abolishing the rule in January. I had to fill up the white form at Pengerang jetty and gave away my favourite cheapo pen to a group of unfortunate souls who didn't even have a pen to fill up the forms.

Thou shalt not go into too sensitive discussion and given my personality, I'm more than tempted to spill it all out. Then again, I'm not like a start blogger and I don't desire an insane amount of visits. I haven't even gotten a single cheque from Nuffnang and that shows you peeps out there aren't giving my advertisers sufficient support. Haha!

For once, I could fly to everywhere I want and shop till I drop, well almost. But with my little black monster getting delivered soon, I will have to manage my finances more sensibly and travels will have to wait.

Today's just a crap day... My worst day in my job ever... Can it get any worse?

Let's Start From Here

Just came back from an extremely short trip back from where Dad calls home...

Managed to rest my mind from all the crazy firefighting, crazy calls and one majorly messed up me. Wanted to pen down some thoughts but I think this song sums everything I wanted to say...



Giving up, why should I
I've come too far to forget
We're beautiful, we just got lost

Somewhere along the way
So much was missing when you went away
Let's start from here, lose the past
Change our minds, we don′t need a finish line
Let's take this chance don’t think too deep
Of all those promises we couldn′t seem to keep
I don't care where we go
Let's start from here

Standing here face to face
A finger on your lips
Don't say a word don't make a sound
Silence surrounds us now
Even when you were gone I felt you everywhere
Let' start from here, lose the past
Change our minds, we don′t need a finish line
Let's take this chance don’t think too deep
Of all those promises we couldn′t seem to keep
I don't care where we go
Let's start from here
Let's start from here

I've never been the one to open up
But you've always been the voice within
The only warmth from my cold heart
Let's start from here, lose the past
Change our minds, we don't need a finish line
Let's take this chance don’t think too deep
Of all those promises
Let's start from here, lose the past
Change our minds, we don't need a finish line
Let's take this chance don’t think too deep
Of all those promises we couldn't seem to keep
I don't care where we go
Let's start from here
Let's start from here
