What inspired me today....

I started my day with this quote;

--------

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible"
T.E. Lawrence

And I ended the day with this song...

--------

The Power Of The Dream - Celine Dion

Deep within each heart
There lies a magic spark
That lights the fire of our imagination
And since the dawn of man
The strength of just "I can"
Has brought together people of all nations

There’s nothing ordinary
In the living of each day
There’s a special part
Every one of us will play

Feel the flame forever burn
Teaching lessons we must learn
To bring us closer to the power of the dream
As the world gives us its best
To stand apart from all the rest
It is the power of the dream that brings us here

Your mind will take you far
The rest is just pure heart
You’ll find your fate is all your own creation
Every boy and girl
As they come into this world
They bring the gift of hope and inspiration

Feel the flame forever burn
Teaching lessons we must learn
To bring us closer to the power of the dream
The world unites in hope and peace
We pray that it will always be
It is the power of the dream that brings us here

There’s so much strength in all of us
Every woman child and man
It’s the moment that you think you can’t
You’ll discover that you can

Feel the flame forever burn
Teaching lessons we must learn
To bring us closer to the power of the dream
The world unites in hope and peace
We pray that it will always be
It is the power of the dream that brings us here

Feel the flame forever burn
Teaching lessons we must learn
To bring us closer to the power of the dream
The world unites in hope and peace
We pray that it will always be
It is the power of the dream that brings us here

The power of the dream
The faith in things unseen
The courage to embrace your fear
No matter where you are
To reach for your own star
To realize the power of the dream

Working something out of my system

When I was much younger, ... I remember following Mum to one of her seminars in College General. And it was at one of these seminars that I remember this phrase... which really has much wisdom. It's simple but not easy.... The phrase is...

' Letting go

Letting be

Letting grow'

This phrase, I thought, how does it affect me now?? Why has it popped up in my mind again?? What bearing does it have?? So I took a little time to sit and ponder the whole night... Is He telling me something??

--------------

'Letting go' - Letting my friends go??

'Letting be' - Learning to live with the present?? There are still others.... Many more waiting to be friends... Enjoying the present and those who are in the present...before the now, becomes past.

'Letting grow' - Is this the way to move on and to grow?? Friendship can still grow even though we are miles apart... Can't it?? It's not like as if they are gone forever.. There's telecommunications today and they are so much better than those of yesteryears...snail mail anyone?? xD Anyway, they are Penang base...and there's holidays.^^

--------------

Then,....

Reading an Easter message from WCCM...

'What uniquely did Jesus bring to the world?'

And the word floating in my mind is... 'Touch'

'Touch' reminds us of our wholeness. No part of us can be rejected or diminished without the divine beauty of creation being dishonoured.'

Though my time spent with these college mates, who are leaving, has been short, I realize that they had touched some part of my life. Yea... that word again 'touch'. We all need 'touch' to grow...just like an infant child in a Mother's arms...a nurturing form of love. =)

When thought like this in this manner and light, parting of ways, parting of friends.. somehow doesn't seem so difficult and painful anymore. It's a necessity for growth in all aspects for all parties. For if this was not so, everything would be so 'siang eh'. How boring! -.-'' Like in economic terms... the Law of Diminishing Returns..

Now, I understand...what He was trying to say to me... Thank you! =)

Not again!

Before I begin...all I want to say is...

I've survived!.....Bio Structure Paper! xD

--------------

Sitting in the library studying for tomorrow's paper with Tiffanie... We were told by PVoon that he's leaving... HuH? Not another one?? Besides him, if I'm not mistaken, there are others who are also leaving while there are also others who are appealing to get matriculasi.

There goes another one I say! I'm gonna miss his cute-ish beaming cheerful smile that you see every morning in class... Some how, it lightens your day... just like a phrase commonly used in...gah! At Customer services... Tiff totally agrees too!

A terrible sourly taste formed in my stomach....making me so-like sea sick.. till now. :S I can't help feeling nostalgic...making me think of my school friends and teachers too.. How come I never felt this before?? Am I a late starter??? I'm beginning to miss my school friends a little...especially my adorable juniors especially my kecik molek xD Well, I've experienced having a friend being transfered to another school or leaving to go overseas etc...one at a time.
Not, so many at ONE GO!

It's so hard to cover it up... Tiff just went deep into her stats while I'm trying to gain an 'appetite' to study again...Till now, I don;t think I've covered much... -.-''

On the bright side, Belle, Mting and PVoon most likely are going to go to the matriculasi college in Kedah... That;s one less of a worry... =)

Oh well, they are still here....let's spend this moment to be a memorable one...

-----

Hey college-mates,

After GP, let's go hang out, watch movie etc to be with them at Gurney or something..

Do spread the word! =)

All are welcome!^^

-----

....More news

I went to the library again today...

Partly to study...and partly to be there for a friend...

Guess what?

More nostalgic news.....

Heard another two more, MTing and Deep are going to leave too...

Haiz....

Anyway, my friends, here's something I wrote last year...

And I would like to share this with you all... =)

Enjoy!

Life’s Journey With You, My Friend

Looking across the room at you, my friend,

I realize that our friendship

has been like a river flowing

one more turn, one more bend.

Memories of times we’ve shared together,

times we’ve laughed,

times we’ve cried,

times we’ve felt we just could go no further!

Still we continued holding hands,

helping each other

coming up with new plans,

And with God’s grace,

we will all run and finish the race.

Now we have come to another bend,

when we must finally part,

finding life’s journey and part as friends,

May the good Lord bless us, keep us, guide us,

keeping us always His precious child.

As we say

Goodbye, Au Revoir,

Arriverderci, Selamat Tinggal!

Seasons

Haizz.... Today, I was told another friend of mine, Belle, is leaving college...

I know I should be studying....but the urge to blog is stronger...as I feel so down hearted with this news...but am happy for her... After SPM results, there have been so many changes... Friends leaving or changing courses.... KMing, JYuan, Gerald, Alex and many more...

________________________________________

Looking back at the first day of college, I remember myself having misgivings about having chosen the right college as I realized that I didn't have anyone who I could term 'friend'....just familiar faces from past tuitions... The fear of not being able to fit in..hit me!

Remember calling Mum.... and she said 'Have an open mind and an open heart'

Before long, besides Adel, Belle was my first friend in this college.Then came...Deep, Tria and Veni to the group...I don't know at what point...Bro Zack's group and Tiff's group came in... It is interesting how a group of friends is formed without us even realizing it... More the merrier I say! =)

Ah! Then came the 'cuci mata' affairs! I remember one incident especially where I almost got into trouble because the 2 girls (not gonna mention names here!) They cuci mata at a senior guy in the library...But when he looked at us girls... that's when I happened to be looking at him.(didn't change specs yet) So I was blur~

Yea...he is cute....Not my type though....AhhhHH! :S

When I went to get a book, he approached me but I managed to escape *sweat man ...Wrong party! Till today, I feel so embarrassed whenever he looks at me...with that 'look' ~ >_<>NOT!

Then there was the moral presentation...on 'Deonthological Ethics'

In one of the sketches....where it involves a bribe to an officer... Well, Belle was kinda highly voted to be the officer...Why?? Her innocence...hahahah! The bribers, who were suppose to be undercover ACA probes, were Adel and Deep. It was hilarious! No regrets having done this project together!

Then there was tennis...which was a deal with Belle that I would join if she joined badminton...but somehow...she managed to wangle her way out of badminton... Hmm.... and pulled me away too! =) Now, she's leaving tennis and some broken hearts too... =) Sorry guys!

Actually, our time in this course is SO short. I was in the library when I heard of her leaving... *sigh. I looked at some of those who were there today... Adel, Veni,Atria, BHoe, Chris, JSean, and of course....my bro, Zack! Where would we be next year? Some of us are only on a 'Hi' basis...LoLz. We don't even know if we like tea, coffee or chocolate more?

Weird...there are people who I have known by their names or faces from various tuitions in my life...and yet, we still act like we are strangers or something...
It's sad... not even a 'Hi'. And yet, they are somehow or another.. a part of my life. When are we all going to grow up and leave our hang-ups behind?? Life is so short. Time is so limited. The moment is here!

I guess a part of it is also my fault... I'm too self conscious. Part of it is because of my poor knowledge of any Chinese dialect. I guess I have to work and do something about it in this department. *sigh

Anyway, Belle...I wish you all the best. Don't forget me ya!

Hmm... Now I feel much better.. I have said what I wanted to say.

Oh, that's my tummy rumbling... Gonna scout for food... ^^

P.S. Wanted to upload pictures of Bro Zack studying real hard.... xP Pity you only!

Stand By Me by Shayne Ward (better to hear the song)

Now....

I was a kay po today and I read something which gave me this thought....this inspiration to write again...

Hey, don't ever think yourself unloved.

For every Adam,

there is an Eve!

Just close your eyes.....

As you listen to this song,

See yourself in your mind's eye

Being with the Someone of your dreams...

Someone of the past, present or future...... no matter.

Just allow yourself to feel love.....

even for only just a moment!

Stand By Me by Shayne Ward

Nothing's impossible
Nothing's unreachable
When I am weary
You make me stronger
This love is beautiful
So unforgettable
I feel no winter cold
When we're together
When we're together

[Chorus]
Will you stand by me
Hold on and never let me go
Will you stand by me
With you I know I belong
When the story gets told

When day turns into night
I look into your eyes
I see my future now
All the world and its wonder

This love wont fade away
And through the hardest days
I'll never question us
You are the reason

[ these lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]

My only reason

Will you stand by me
Hold on and never let me go
Will you stand by me
With you I know I belong
When the story gets told

I am blessed
To find what I need
In a world losing hope
You are my only believe
You make things right
Every time after time

Will you stand by me
Hold on and never let me go
Will you stand by me
With you I know I belong
When the story gets told

[Repeat chorus]

Stand by me
No more darlin' I want you by my side
I want you here with me

Sometimes...

We need to dream,

Letting go of what's kept within...

Letting ourselves to be loved and to love.

Giving ourselves a chance.
