Valorian

Reminiscing the past, Anticipating the future

2010-04-15T23:49:00.010+08:00

i know the title sounds emo, but its really not
all i'm gonna do is juz blog bout the 2 weeks inactiveness....
LOLZzzzzzzzzzzzz

well, last 2 weeks started off again on sunday with a movie ^^
this time, this movie makes Percy Jackson look like childs play
seriously, the medusa is cooler, faster, uglier, and ya.... medusa
but effects were top notch. i actually regretted not watching in 3D
and overall, the movie is pretty awesome, and 1 of the best
greek myth kinda movie i've watched

ohoh and not forgetting Io ^^ casted by Gemma Artenton
i was like... she looks farmiliar, then after the movie only
i was like... oh ya... she was a Bond Girl in Quantum of Solace^^
and yeah... it is imba ^^ nice nice
lolz

and then on thursday, i was caught off guard with a last
minute invitation by Xin Li on msn. sianzzzz
she suddenly ask me "eh, u goin for diana's bday 2nite?"
i was like.... theres a party 2nite?
why now only u guys tell me
and after discussing with xinli and jubs about the party
whether it was really at 8.45pm, and was it really at Bangsar
Shopping Center, or was devan really having a party
for diana, until he called me then i was like... right....
so yup.... a 30 min drive down from semenyih is
no easy task... actually it is la but thats really besides the point
so yup... went down.......................... and down....................
and..... ya.....

so ya... lolz... we went to a restaurant in Bangsar Shopping Center
called Twenty One. i guess its a place where people celebrate their
21st bday? beats me =.=
so here goes the horde of not very good quality taken by my pretty
good and not very waterproof at the moment camera ^^

Our host and organizer of the event ^^

theres the bday gal with her camera... she really looks
like a showgirl advertising the camera ^^

2 girls looking at the menu.... or something else?
hm.................

i guess i was juz calling it mo-ji-to
ok laura.... ok... chillll
but seriously
laura had a fren who drank too much and got drunk
and started shouting
"who took my mosquito?"
lolzzzzz

i think this was amanda's one. looks nice though ^^

Diana making her bday wish

ok ppl, dun panic, this is juz diana's
standard protocol... lolzzz

and...... here's the bunch of them and
oh, how i miss them so much
the time we do our work together, movie together, lunch
together at fried laksa, pool sessions
great memories with all of u ^^

and.... the week went on.......
and this week... finally... this week has come to an end.....
well, not really the end of all suffering but at least the end
of something....

today i had ac circuit lab and tomoro is the due date for
Pro|E assignment, and thanks to Roy, i finished it this evening

3 times the time, 3 times the action and 3 times the effect ^^

2010-03-29T22:53:00.015+08:00

well, on a happier and more happening note,

zil, silver and i went for a spectacular
3 movie marathon..... AWESOME ^^

4.30 - Daybreakers
6.15 - Break
6.30 - How to train your Dragon 3D
8.20 - Dinner
9.30 - Alice in Wonderland 3D
11.30 - head home

it was WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!
awesome. so yea, was in mid valley till
like 11.30pm
well, all 3 shows were good but i juz love
AND I JUZ LOVE toothless ^^
he is 1 freaking awesome dragon which
is SOOOOO CUTE and SOOOOOO COOL
and SOOOOO imba O.o
i mean, his fire is like a photon
or plasma cannon
he's just too cool
even his name is super cool - night fury
and super cute - toothless
dun mind watching it again
isnt he juz cool? (now i sound like a small
girl in love with a soft toy =.=)

>.< (its ok, its for toothless ^^) i really like this part ^^
he is just too cute..... ^^

yup, and i'm in love with him
and i'll give anything to have him as a pet
oh well........ and when we were trying to get into the cinema
it was like jam pack. everyone and i mean EVERYONE
was goin watch how to train your dragon and then we
were juz jokingly shouting, oi!!! we late for
tutorial la. HAHAHAHA. for those of u who got it la
lolzzzz

well, moving on we watched daybreakers, which is a pretty
cool movie, aside from all the goriness and the twisted
minds of ppl actually embracing the idea of being
a vampire, i kind of like the idea that the cure to vampirism
is sunlight. everytime its either a serum or anti-virus
but this 1 really caught me off guard. sunlight?
actually a controlled exposure to sunlight la
but still its a pretty cool concept
never thought of it before

pretty good cast if u ask me ^^

and moving on, one of the movies that i've been waiting so long
to watch

yes.... alice in wonderland was on my
must watch movies which turned out
pretty good ^^ at least better than the animated version la
they have a good cast on this
everyone suited their roles
and i must say my favourite character now
in this movie is the cheshire cat
he is pro ^^

i'm very impressed with the lanscape design
it really is very good. and yeah, good movie over all
oh oh, and not forgetting 2 more favourites
yup, the movie will nvr be complete without them
johnny depp once again pulled it off very well. but sometimes
he mumbles too fast and speak in riddles its quite difficult
to understand. lolz. and i love the way anne hathaway
pull it off la. graceful like no ones business
and she really really portrayed the white queen very very well

haha.... so yup. next movie is clash of the titans and
prince of persia and ironman 2
wheeee~~~~~!!!!

Day Number 64

2010-03-29T22:30:00.002+08:00

as of today, its been officially 64 days since i started
a whole new journey and probably the most
important decision i think i've made in my life
(besides deciding to give up pokemon TCG to buy my ps2)
but thats really besides the point

and the further i go, the more i think of the what ifs and what ofs
what if? or what of what if?
but thats really not the main thing i'm gonna talk about
seriously

well, since my 100% change in environment and location
not to mention the ppl around me and also
the conditions which now i have live by with
i guess i'm still holding out here... or am i?
lolz... of coz i am. i guess a part of me grew
not in size u dimwits. in person. i think?
or perhaps maybe not?
y am i conflicting myself?
of coz i did. but thats really besides the point
whats with the many points tonight?
argh... there i go straying off the main topic again

lets get it all down now shall we
for all those ppl out there who are busybody to
read through everything juz now, i'll finally reveal
my decision to change uni
what really happen was....
a VERY long story
so we shall skip that part

anyway i'm now here in a foreign place
no more usual jams in the morning, afternoon
and night. no more pyramid nearby or AC
but.... i like it here
surprising as it seems, i feel.....
serene
life here is simple. there are mountains around
foods cheap, and the nearest shopping mall
u get is tesco ^^ how cool is that

but thats all really besides the point
the point is, i finally think i'm picking things up
better and finally at my usual pace
i feel as if i finally came even with myself
and i'm not fighting with myself anymore
like some thing inside of me has stop conflicting
with each other and finally reached an agreement
i seriously have no clue on what it was
but now.... i feel.... i just feel......
yeah.... thats how i feel

and since 64 days has passed, lets
toast to another 1000 more days

Logitech Force 3D Pro - time to hit the skies

2010-03-08T22:14:00.004+08:00

well, i finally got it.... after having to wait for almost a year now,
and wait for the price to drop, i finally got it...
the Logitech Force 3D Pro

after waiting for so long :'P
(i editted the pic myself ^^ sources from google images of coz ^^)

Features:-

Force feedback

Authentic, real-time feedback responds more realistically to games that support force feedback—and provides the control you need in games that don’t. Force feedback. You can really feel it.
12 programmable buttons

Customize your settings for each game or each vehicle for maximum optimization.
8-way hat switch

Lets you navigate without moving your hand.
High-precision throttle

You’ll enjoy more accuracy than you’d get with many competitive controllers.
Twist-handle rudder

You turn precisely and zero in on your target with a twist of the wrist.

The real eye catcher was the force feedback. a very realistic force will actually
resist ur motion when u'r pulling the G's. the moment i used it i was like....
WOooooooooooooOOOOOOoooooow..........

and seriously, playing H.A.W.X. with a joystick is way way more fun,
not to mention the precision in handling the plane. way better then using the mouse
and really, its time to hit the skies, and good hunting XD

5-7th March - GEESM Trip, Soloman's Kane, Advertisement Filming, Kelsey's Birthday

2010-03-08T20:59:00.012+08:00

Well, its been a good weekend if i might say so myself ^^
nothing much except some pretty cool stuff... so maybe its not really nothing after all?

okok. enuf word twisting. friday was the industrial visit to
GE Engine Service Malaysia (GEESM for short. sounds corny)
which is very very cool. sadly, we couldnt take any pictures.
i pula uploaded all the pictures from my camera, clear memory all,
charge battery, even bring extra battery pack
and then when reach there, who bring cameras? u muz leave it here

i was like...... GG.... sianz =.= (kept quiet and store the camera into the bag)
P.S. I DIDNT TAKE ANY PICTURES OK =.= if i did it'll be all over my blog d

it was cool. learnt alot on aircraft engines which come to think of it
i've a research project to do which i think i'll do thrust systems... hm....
anyway, learnt alot of cool stuff.

like, the fan blades of a turbine engine is made from titanium. and it cost USD 22,000
per fan blade. and there are 34 fan blades on 1 turbine. my fren was like
WAH... can buy myvi d. ya.... not to mention 34 myvis.

BUT... even if u manage to get ur hands on 1 u cannot sell in malaysia cuz its
no 1 - illegal
no 2 - no titanium smelting plant in malaysia so cannot resell as scrap material
no 3 - no sell back value

oh well....... and alot of other stuff among that. but i seriously wished i could have
taken pictures T_T

then saturday had dinner with stephy's family. had dinner at port village
quite nice lo. hahaha.... like seafood restaurants la ^^ lolz

sunday went watch Soloman Kane with Silver and Zilius which IMHO i not bad
nice details, nice graphics, typical storyline, imba fighter, but better than i thought
so it was pretty cool over all. i dunno the actors though O.o

but nice movie to watch for the action and stuff la ^^ its a pretty cool show after all ^^

AND THEN!!!!

question. what is daniel doin on my car and y is my face so screwed up.
very good question if i may say so myself. the answer lies within the birthday
girl. due to some technical error in her videos that she took with her friends,
they couldnt use the videos so she asked me to make for her an ad about glasses

well, according to her, thats whats gonna happen without ray-bans la. i dunno how
she gonna market it but ya ^^
(lets hope her teacher dun see this and then found out i did for her >.<)

we do look pretty retarded though ^^

(Ian: EXAGERATE DANIEL!!!! ITS ALL ABOUT EXAGERATION)

and yes.... if u cant see a car from that distance....
either u'r blind, or u really need very powerful glasses... Ray-bans ^^

but its amazing how my windshield didnt smash or hood didnt dent
i wonder how the door opened though.... hm......

but all in all, we manage to act the whole thing out in thirty minutes and i finish the
picture and timeline edit within less than two hours

didn i mention that its an assignment from her COMMERCE SOCIETY in HING HUA?
i cant believe even society has assignment and that IT IS graded. chinese schools
FTW...... i think O.o

then it was her birthday ^^ happy birthday once again lil sis. even though
ur birthday is only on 15th but i still cant imagine u driving yet though XD

so yup.... her birthday that was filled with laughter, joy, advertisements and of coz...
nasi lemak ^^ my mum's nasi lemak pawns ^^ oh well. happy birthday again ^^

finally, the ultimate recipe for ressurection, after spending all my life
(5 min including registering connection)
i've found the 1 thing i needed the most

the C1 error solving recipe

life is never at equilibirum

2009-07-22T14:07:00.002+08:00

"but this will never happen because

the world is never at equilibrium" Dr. Kenny Tan

and how true it is...
life has never been at equilibrum
but if life is at equilibrium, there wont be any excitement
but sometimes, at least for me, how i wish that
life was at equilibrium
that it may remain constant
that things will juz go well with no hurdles
or it'll juz be constantly happy
instead of fluctuating emotions

haihzzz....
how i wish things were juz achieve equilibrium
and stay there.... haihzz
i guess today's an emo day
everybody's very emo today....
(i know not every1 la jubs, but lets juz keep it that way)

haihzzzzzzzz
when will this ever cease
and when will this achieve equilibrium
i really dunno
its time to face my worst nightmare i guess

plz Lord, strenghten me
and plz help me make the right decision
shield us from all harm
and plz watch over us
and walk with us
in our darkest moments
amen

For My Best Friend.......

2009-07-20T19:15:00.004+08:00

this post is dedicated to my CLOSEST and BESTEST friend
that i've ever had

for when i hurt him,
lied to him,
stole from him,
and
destroyed him,

he still forgave me.
even after the sadness and sorrow that
i brought upon him
and put him through
and
after all the things that
i've done to him,

he found it in his heart to forgive me
and still able to call me a friend
and a brother.

to u my brother, i trully and sincerely salute you
for a friend like u i can never ever find again
and i thank God that u'r still my friend
and i pray that u'll find peace
and for a better future

u can ask me of anything
and if u need a helping hand,
rest assured that i'll be there,
no matter what

thanks for everything ^^

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

2009-07-19T01:17:00.003+08:00

well, to start it off, i bought this tickets a day before the movie. which was decent la.
got good seats and stuff. i read the book already. n me as a not really typical guy,
i do love romance stories ^^
anyway, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince aint tooooooooooooo bad though
some parts were done nicely and stuff.

especially the settings and camera angles, that did the trick to adding
a whole different mood into the harry potter movie series
but when u compare it to the book, well, lets juz say its not up to par.
or really it juz cannot be compared.

well, they made an ok choice in choosing the cast for Ginny,
i guess the producers didnt know Ginny was gonna be Harry's lover
and hence pushing her from being juz another actress into
one of the main actress. (i think they were guessing Hermione) hahaha
anyway, actress Bonnie Wright (Ginny) is oh well, okla~~~~~

anyway, back to the story, i mean,
graphics, superb
casting, superb
settings, superb
camera, superb
directing, superb
storyline and book adaptations........... errrrr............. u guess la

all in all. its an ok movie la. 2 hrs 30 mins run time. well, if u ask me
i rather prefer that they make a similiar replica of the book, not caring
bout the runtime. if they actually do that. i'll watch even if it means
10 hrs of run time. hey, i guess what all of us really want is a
perfect replica of the book to be on screen.
well, at least thats what i want la
anyway, all in all, okla~~~
hahahaha

Video Accomplish

2009-07-18T15:28:00.002+08:00

WOOOOOOOOTTTT!!!!!!
i've finished the YA.TV video already ^^
and way sooner than expected.
dunno what drive me last night...
errrr......
more appropriately this morning to finish it up
i finished at 6.17am ^^

hehehehehehhee
anyway 1st tried using windows movie maker
and.......
er............
lets juz say the functions are uber limited

so i downloaded corel, ulead video studio and yes,
it all came back to me.
it was the video editing programme that i was trained with
so yeah. got all my skills back in an instant.
so i did the video.
then i realized that eventhough the background noise
made the movie a bit realistic, it was kinda too noisy
with the background music (BGM)
and all.

so i downloaded a video to mp3 converter
and audacity, as recommended, to solve the problem
so what i did was juz convert the video's audio
into an mp3
then open the mp3 in audacity
acquire the noise profile of the noise i wanna remove,
and remove that noise in the entire video
well, have to do this again and again for each individual videos la
then mute the audio in the video, and insert the edited
noise removed ones into the track
edit the timelines so it synchronizes smoothly
(and not have lip and voice lag. i hate that alot =.=")
and voila. no background noise ^^

only 1 problem to this. if i dun choose
the lowest rate at which the noise is remove,
the voices in the videos will be very pitchy
so i had to remove very minimal of background noise.
but as a result, the background noise
becomes more of a high frequency disruption
so can hear the background noise becomes a very annoying
high frequency distortion,
if i wanna retain the original voices and not change the pitch
(if not kelly and kelly gonna kill me when their voices
becomes chipmunks, and yes, i made the song "Solution"
into a chipmunk version while i was at it.
hahahahahaha)

but oh well, the BGM managed to mask most
of the noise disruption in the background la
so hopefully it turns out fine.
anyway i did 1 with original background noise
and 1 with filtered background noise
so i hope all of u enjoy the video ^^
and plz comment on it as this is my first video
for YA!teens

hehehe
if u wanna see the video, then plz do come
and join us for our
GTAK youth concurrent service

cya there ^^

lovely night

2009-07-17T02:46:00.002+08:00

i picked up the phone....
shud i? or shud i not? if i do....
what would be the consequence?
i.....

hey, hi, er.... i didnt mean to.....
huh? oh nothing....
haha.... juz being random i guess?
haha....

i guess it wasnt so bad after all
we would have small talk...
i would ask u bout ur day, bout ur week,
and u would ask bout mine.

feelings sparks...
and thats how my heart would yearn for u
for every word u say, would brighten my day
and u would light up my life, even in the depths of night,
i would still feel ur warmth....
how i wish i could hold u close...

but even so.... u r so close... n yet so far.....
and i dream.... dreaming that it was not pretend.....
that i was with u...
that i could hold u in my arms....

and when the lovely night ends....
reality snaps back...
and i am lost once again....

Lights!!! Camera!!! ACTION!!!

2009-07-17T01:50:00.002+08:00

Phase 2: Disappointing 1st Coat Primer =.=

2009-07-17T01:43:00.003+08:00

well..... as u guys know....
i was gonna spray my 1st primer coat 2day...
BUT....
my 1st coat of primer didnt come out nice T_T
crap la...............haihzz....
i thought if i cannot see the dust n if i cannot feel the dust
it'll be fine

how i know..
once i sprayed it on, the dust all buldged out
like freaking daisies~~~
ARGHHH~~~

great la... so yup.
have to sand it flat once again.
supposedly i'm suppose to wipe it with
denatured alchohol or use a tack cloth
to remove the dust n prevent the
surface from being statically charged
which is attracting all the dust particle.
i went to 2 hard ware shop n they dunno
what on earth is that =.="
gone case...
apparently i googled that denatured alcohol
is any alcohol not suitable for consumption
errr.....
apparently spirit methyl
could be used.
i'll try and see how la =.=
sianz laaaaaaa

n also how to do vinyls?!??!
any1 knows how to do vinyls??
i thought i could cut out using
a blade or scissors...
i was so wrong....

i think i got juz bad cutting skills la
eh wait...
i'm good with the saw....
hm......
oh well........
have to try again lo~~~~
see how things go.....

Finally got Starting: Project Laptop Cosmetics Surgery ^^

2009-07-15T21:24:00.013+08:00

Finally, my project has begun, and its been a crazy day.

have u tried sanding for 4 and a half hrs?
no? u shud try then ^^

well, started by stripping my com.
so scared. unscrewing EVERYTHING for the FIRST TIME >.< this is the keyboard part there la. hahaha. stripped everything
wanted to remove the metal piece also.
but apparently cannot. so nvm lathe keyboard base panel stripped off. haha.....
can see motherboard and stuff la. ^^
for all u ppl who nvr seen the insides of a laptop before ^^
this is the keyboard. i'm thinking of changing the keyboard
to 1 with red led backlight ^^the keyboard base which is plastered and ready to be sanded.

all the covers plastered up. hehe. the back i use a pvc transparent
plastic to avoid dust and later paint to go inside. still got
components and wires inside that i cannot remove.
so have to protect la ^^

and after 4 and a half hrs of wet sanding.....

TADA~~~~~~
looks a bit scratchy but felt smooth like silk. superb.
started with 180 grit, then 320 grit, 400 grit
and finished off with 600 grit.
the keyboard base i didnt sand the paint off
too much details there i scared i spoil it.
so juz sand till smooth with 400 and 600 grit
only some parts i removed the paint ^^
will be starting with the primer 2moro ^^
hopefully this project will be a success la
hand very tired.
1st time i sand till so long....
hahahahaha

To My Beloved Millenium...

2009-04-30T19:28:00.008+08:00

Today, at 7.25pm, was the last time i saw Millenium,
my cream coloured Spitz.
she was born on exactly 1st of January year 2000.
hence, the name Millenium.
eventhough it was a pretty long name,
but she responded to it no matter what.

she was my first dog.
and the cause of her death was mine to blame i guess.
if i would to play with her more often,
took her for more walks, then maybe,
this day wouldnt have come so soon.

She came into the family when she was 3 months old.
i was 11 at that time.
i was still staying at eng ann at that time.
she moved with us to Andalas.
when she was still a puppy, her favourite was milk and bread.
i remember sitting outside her cage with a few slices
of bread and a bowl of milk and feed her.
shes quite ganas la. and she loves to jump on people.
due to this, my parents wouldnt
allow her to run around freely.

since she was young she was always caged up.
and right now i feel very guilty for leaving her in
her cage for her entire life.
and i know how much a dog hates being chained up
and left in a cage.

i was a Jeff's cafe at that time with stephy when
my phone rang and a message from Kyleen read,
"ian, where are you? you better come home now.
the dog died"
for a split second i thought it was a joke.
i called her. and it was for real. she needn't tell me
which one. deep inside, i already know which.
and i hate myself for it. i rushed back. only to be able
to see it for another 5-10 min before my dad's employee
came and took it away to be buried at a land that my
family own. i wish i could follow and bury her myself.
she died of unknown reasons. maybe of old age and obese.
my maid noticed she had never moved since 12 this afternoon.
and she was only declared gone at around 6 plus.
but her body was still warm when i got back.

even though she was a family dog,
i always felt she was mine. i bath her, i play with her
i take her out of her cage, i took her for walks.
i always felt it was unfair cuz it was always me who was
responsible for the dog. and when my sisters as well
wanted her. and in the end it was me that bath her and
took care of her. but now,
i wish i could have done better for her.
i wish i could have took better care of her.

and i kick myself over for not taking her for walks more often
or spending more time with her. u only appreciate something
when its gone. and by the time u realize it, its too late.

but this is reality, and as much as i didnt want her to go, she did.
and with this said, i'll miss you Millenium. and i'll never ever replace
you and Millenium will always be you. You'll be in my memories
forever.

and i'll end this post with a few pictures of her after she had gone.
and how she lived.

Goodbye Millenium, i'll miss you....

Dandelion's Promise

2009-04-25T01:53:00.005+08:00

He sat down, overlooking the vast open fields beneath him.
Breeze blew by, gently, calm...

He looked around, a smile on his face. The dandelions were shimmering in the field, waving in the wind like a sheet of gold. The first time he met her, it was here. It was a scenery that had favour in his mind. It was a long time ago.

He remembered, she was standing by the oak tree with a tear stained face.
Before he realized it, he approached her. "Hey, are you ok?" he blurted out.
She looked at him and forced a smile. "No, its nothing. Its just that, this year,
nothing seems to be going right for me. I just feel very helpless".
And she continued on, and he listened. Every word, every sentence.
And that... was the beginning.

Before they knew it, they had been talking for two and a half hours.
She bade him goodbye and she stood up, ready to leave.
He got up and brush his pants. "Well, if theres anything you need, i'll be right here.
You know where to find me" and she smiled. "Thank you".

The next few weeks, they met up, taking naps under the sun,
cicada noises coming from the field. He woke from his memories.
He smiled, the cicada noises were still there.
He looked at the place where he took naps with her.
And sighed. After how many years, it still sounds good.

He walked towards the ledge. He bent and picked up an old piece of torn paper.
"Hey, are you sure this is gonna work?" she threw another paper plane.
"Folding up your dreams in a paper plane and sending it off?" she laughed.
He laughed. "Well, better than sitting around doing nothing right?
We can't wait for a meteor or something right?" They both threw their paper planes together and watched it soar into the vast skies.

He grinned. We were so young back then.

Then, she left... he threw the coin to decide his fate seriously,
but yet, he didn't know where to go. Life suddenly becomes empty.
A promise made when growing up together,
it was so clear to him that he believed in that promise since they made a pinky swear.
They said they would venture together, and stay by each others sides.
But then, it was nowadays their only wilful persistence.

He sat down under the tree he first saw her. Tears rolled down his cheeks.
He remembered, they once were punished in the corridor of their school
and had their hands slapped. Yet, they grinned at each other when as
they paid attention to a dragonfly by the window during class.

Wherever he went, she would be following very closely. Those were the days,
they dreamt, and they had a lot of dreams waiting to be done, even till now.

He looked down at his finger. The finger that made the pinky swear.
The finger that ties him to a promise with her.
A promise that they'll stay together, and be by each other.
The promise made was so sincere, and that was the one time he couldn't stop talking about it.

"And now..... i couldn't tell the difference, if you were a friendship, or a love i missed out on"

(Base storyline from Jay Chou - Dandelion's Promise)

Feelings.....

2009-03-29T21:48:00.002+08:00

The feeling i have now is indescribable. I dunno why, but, i’m missing her. I’m missing her so badly, that to an extent,i’m tearing. How much can u miss someone, that, all u want to do, is run to her, and embrace her in your arms. Have you felt that way before?

Have you felt that the person you have feelings for,

the one that you think of last before u sleep,

the one that you want to share an ice cream with,

the one hand that you want to hold,

the one which means the world to you,

the one you wanna hold and never let go,

the one you wanna care for,

or the one that you want to love,

is someone you can never have.

As much as you want to, you know you cant. As much as your heart longs for her, you know that its impossible. Is love that strong, that it can break the strongest barrier of the human heart? And how much can a person bear this feelings before breaking down, with tears flowing, with hands clasp, and with the mind praying to God. Directions. Lord, what i need now is directions. I need something that i don’t have. Your strength. My life is in a vortex. An impregnable fortress have been built around my life. A fortress i could not escape. Chains, that i have bound myself with.....

the moments pass....

2009-03-03T00:39:00.004+08:00

"errr.... hey, juz wanna say, all the best for ur performance
later. i wished u earlier, but i thought u could use the extra
encouragement. haha. anyway, thats all i wanna say to u.
dun wry bout anything. u can do it. God will be watching u.
haha. do us proud. haha. thats all la. take care ya.
have a great day ahead" and he looked at it one more time.
reading through it again to make sure it sounded natural.
he pressed continue. and then the name.
he looked at it again. are u sure u wanna do this? he thought.
if u hit yes, there's no turning back. and his finger thrust
forward, pressing the button. the screen displayed,
message sent. he stared at his phone. are u regretting this now?
he waited for a reply. 1 hr.... 2 hrs.... 3... 6... 12... 1day........
it didnt come....

a moments dream is a moments past.....
how can anyone comprehend the situation which is
so greatly endured by someone who is
of no strength to bear the burden?

sometimes, we do stupid things, things so stupid, u even look back,
think of thoughts unknown, and wonder....
what drove u to do the things u do?

u do know the consequences, u already know the end results...
still.....
u did it.

but...... why?
u already know what lies ahead, whats the outcome, yet....
u hope for the other,
u hope that things would turn out for the better,
u hope that what u've never dreamt of will come to pass.
and.... u do it again.
