Tomorrow mornin' if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I will be here
If in the dark we lose sight of love
Hold my hand and have no fear
'Cause I will be here
I will be here...
When you feel like bein' quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin'
Through the winnin' and losin' and tryin'
We'll be together
'Cause I will be here
Tomorrow mornin' if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I'll be here
Just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for these years
I will be here
I will be here....
You can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you mean to me
I will be here
I will be true
To the promise I have made
To you and to the
One who gave you to me
I will be here
And just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for these years
'Cause I...
I will be here....
We'll be together
'Cause I will be here

Cure
When I was younger, a lot of things used to facsinate me. It was probably because I couldn't comprehend the mechanics and technicality of the subject. Therefore I was amazed and curious on how could such things happen magically before my eyes? It lasted till one point where it all became clear to me as I begin to appreciate the significance of causes of the end results, I become bored. You do whatever it takes, as much research and practice and later on get sick of it after mastering it. I can't seem to find an undying passion it all the things I dwell in. Is this how life is suppose to be?
How am I going to save myself from this disease? About a year ago, I figure out how to slow down that process by living a more balanced life. That means, doing everything moderately with a more balance or fairly distributed amount of time to each activity I partake. It helps get thru the day better, less excitement but a longer lasting sense of curiousity to continue what I do. The results are moderate but it gets better as it goes and most importantly, the passion last longer. But ultimately, the primary question still bounces back to me, what is the one thing in humanity that bring me to devote my life for it?
I am still looking for the cure.

I Can't Make You Love Me
Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize
Don't patronize me.
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something that it won't
And here in the dark,these final hours
I will lay down my heart; I will feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
Cause I can't make you love me when you don't.
I'll close my eyes cause then I don't see
The love you don't feel when you're holdin' me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight.
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it that won't
Here in the dark, these final hours
I will lay down my heart I will feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
Cause I can't make you love me when you don't
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize
Don't patronize me.
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something that it won't
And here in the dark,these final hours
I will lay down my heart; I will feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
Cause I can't make you love me when you don't.
I'll close my eyes cause then I don't see
The love you don't feel when you're holdin' me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right

And I will give up this fight.
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it that won't
Here in the dark, these final hours
I will lay down my heart I will feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
Cause I can't make you love me when you don't

Just The Way You Are
Don’t go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don’t imagine you’re too familiar
And I don’t see you anymore
I wouldn’t leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far I took the good times,
I’ll take the bad times
I’ll take you just the way you are
Don’t go trying some new fashion
Don’t change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don’t want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you
I said I love you and that’s forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are
You never let me down before
Don’t imagine you’re too familiar
And I don’t see you anymore
I wouldn’t leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far I took the good times,
I’ll take the bad times
I’ll take you just the way you are
Don’t go trying some new fashion
Don’t change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don’t want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you
I said I love you and that’s forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are

Drenched
When minutes become hours
When days become years
And I dont know where you are
Color seems so dull without you
Have we lost our minds?
What have we done?
But it all doesnt seem to matter anymore
When you kissed me on that street, I kissed you back
You held me in your arms, I held you in mine
You picked me up to lay me down
When I look into your eyes I can hear you cry for a little bit more of you and I
I'm drenched in your love Im no longer able to hold it back
Is it too late to ask for love?
Is it wrong to feel right?
When the world is winding down
Thoughts of you linger around
What have we done?
But it all doesnt seem to matter anymore
When you kissed me on that street, I kissed you back
You held me in your arms, I held you in mine
You picked me up to lay me down
When I look into your eyes I can hear you cry for a little bit more of you and I
I'm drenched in your love Im no longer able to hold it back
Is it too late to ask for love?
Is it wrong to feel right?
When the world is winding down
Thoughts of you linger around
Have we lost our minds?
What have we done?
But it all doesn't seem to matter anymore
When you kissed me on that street, I kissed you back
You held me in your arms, I held you in mine
You picked me up to lay me down
When I look into your eyes I can hear you cry for a little bit more of you and I
I'm drenched in your love Im no longer able to hold it back
You held me in your arms, I held you in mine
You picked me up to lay me down
When I look into your eyes I can hear you cry for a little bit more of you and I
I'm drenched in your love Im no longer able to hold it back

Reunion
We were young, we were trained to combat,
Selected amongst little innocent ones,
Not knowing any other life out there,
Sleeping in brown canvas tents spending our youthful years,
Sweating under the hot broad daylight,
Swifting across the wild hills and jungles,
Moving thru the swamps and muddy lands,
Lighting up fire when sun goes down,
Sometimes we would hear sounds from the woods,
The fury beasts near us with its murderous intent,
Growling as loud proclaiming its prowess,
I pray to the Lord as I shut my eyes,
The light calls out for the morning sun,
Bringing out the colours of this serene place,
Gazing at your picture I miss you so much,
You're the only one, my reason to live,
I'll brave thru the sands and storms,
Whatever hurdles that barricades my way,
Crawling thru the dry fields of land mines,
I'll march courageously with you in my heart,
I remember the day when we were young,
The men in greens took me faraway,
Our tightly held hands had parted ways,
Since then you were always on my mind,
Our distance nears the enemies base,
An alert that the war will soon begin,
We bottled our message to our love ones,
And built a mighty forge before our enemies,
We camped, we patrol, we waited patiently,
Taking our turns enduring the sleepless hour,
The intruders came and blood was shed,
We defend fortress with all our breathe,
Our long fought war has finally concluded,
Lives lost and the shall be remembered,
The cemetery plays a mellow song that day,
Our friends have ascend to the heavens above,
I knocked and ring your doorbell that day,
The doors unclosed you couldn't believe your eyes,
You are so beautiful, I'm captured by your smile,
Our tears reunite after waiting all these years.

Beautiful People
It's my last big breath what you want me to do?
When you act all cool like you already knew
then i'll be stuck here cold, just waiting it through
'till your heart starts beating for that somebody new
You know that it's true
Cause it's beautiful people like you, who get whatever they want
and it's beautiful people like you, who suck the life right outta my heart
and it's beautiful people like you, who make me cry
'cause nobody else could be nearly as cruel as you
It's a wicked game that you making me play
Where I call back home as your walking away
then it's all quiet clear what you want me to say?
But you'll be so long gone if i ask you to stay
Nobody else could be nearly as cruel as you, as you
When you act all cool like you already knew
then i'll be stuck here cold, just waiting it through
'till your heart starts beating for that somebody new
You know that it's true
Cause it's beautiful people like you, who get whatever they want
and it's beautiful people like you, who suck the life right outta my heart

Insecure
Emotions... are complicated psychological experience of a person mind's condition influence by external and internal influences. Whatever a person do, say, encounter, the environment, are all capable of affecting a person's emotions. It can drive the state of your mind and feelings from a simple line such as, "Dude, your fly has been opened for the past 3 hours" to something irresponsible like "Honey, sorry I've forgotten to fetch the kids to school today" to something as cruel as "The management has decided to let you go, there's 3 hours for you to leave this premise".Emotions can be prolonged or temporary. Imagine having a serious physical injury to your face via a car accident, it will most likely take a long time to heal the internal emotional damage caused to oneself in some cases, permanent (i.e. PHD students?). So what do I mean when it's temporary? After a long day working in office, you drove thru the jam and finally got home. You parked your car, grabbed your working stuffs, keys, bag and head into home. Strangely you noticed from the windows that, the lights was turned on and as far as your memory is serving you at its best, it was lights out before you left home. When you opened the door cautiously, your house was filled with people, your girlfriend, friends and family singing you a Happy Birthday song! Well, one of the form of temporary emotions could be a surprise, does it make sense?
It came across my mind of the person who once desired to established a New Order and take control of the world in his palms, dreaming of the days where only absolute Nazi German hegemony in continental Europe. How does Adolf Hilter felt like whenever he killed someone? Satisfaction? Guilty? Hilarious? or emotionless? I wonder could someone be in that state of mind, where there is no feelings involved in the things that he does and what actually led him to be like this.
In my personal conviction and experience, a person's will will drive ones emotions depending on how strong the desire one has to succeed. And the results? People will behave in a certain manner as a results of these emotions such as crying, depressed, laughing, fighting and what not.
Perhaps many will often pop up questions of how to cope with all these emotions especially the negative ones. If you're feeling suffocated, it might be wise to get some air out of the busyness, crowd or probably somewhere away from town, a trip or a holiday to clear off what's clouding your mind. If you're feeling blue, be patient let Monday pass and it should be fine the next day. If you're feeling bored, read my blog! Some find peace of mind by catching a movie, listening to music or seeking a religion. Everyone has their own means and ways to deal with their emotions.
Tonight, I'm a felt insecure and these feelings has been kicking in all around me thru out the day. Here's how Between the Lines defines insecurity:
1. Not sure or certain; doubtful: unemployed and facing an insecure future.
2. Inadequately guarded or protected; unsafe. A shortage of military police made the air base insecure.
3. Not firm or fix; unsteady: an insecure foothold.
4.
a. Lacking stability; troubled: an insecure relationship.
b. Lacking self-confidence; plagued by anxiety: had always felt insecure at parties.
And I've just found my cure, by simply talking to you. You know who you are :) Amazing.

If It Kills Me
Hello, tell me you know, yeah, you've figured me outSomething gave it away
And it would be such a beautiful moment to see the look on your face
To know that I know that you know now
And baby that's a case of my wishful thinking
You know nothing'
Cause you and I, why we go carrying on for hours on end
We get along much better than you and your boyfriend
Well, how long can I go on like this, wishing to kiss you
Before I rightly explode
And this double life I lead isn't healthy for me in fact it makes me nervous
If I get caught I could be risking it all
Well, baby there's a lot that I miss in case I'm wrong
If I should be so bold, I'd ask you to hold my heart in your hand
Tell you from the start how I've longed to be your man
But I never said a word I guess I'm gonna miss my chance again
Well, all I really want to do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
But I still can't say it after all we've been through
And all I really want from you is to feel me
As the feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me, if it kills me
I think it might kill me
And all I really want from you is to feel me
It's a feeling inside that keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me, if it kills me
It might kill me

Absence...
3rd November 2011, 5.03pm. I'll never forget this moment, my heart has been talking to me again. I was in the midst of my department training the whole day, whatsapping most of the time while listening to the trainer. Suddenly, the Head of Department arrived about close to 5.00pm and I knew today is gonna be a long winded session (training ended at 8pm today, goodness!). Immediately I stopped chatting and concentrate. Hmm.... but I couldn't really focus and there was something disturbing me all along as the training proceeds. It was rather a familiar feeling that I somewhat never felt quite some years ago. It has relive inside me, I'm a little afraid yet emotionally stirred. Does it sounds like man having PMS? Haha... probably words or even myself couldn't comprehend much, it just happened naturally. My heart felt something this evening, like it needs something... its longing for something. It's a similar feeling when I felt hurt but its wasn't because I was hurt. It's the absence of someone that makes you feel incomplete. Like the sunflower needs the sun, the heart needs blood to pump, I needed you. I can say whatever I want, do anything I feel like.... however, the heart does not tell lies. I knew I truly miss you for the very first time.
When you truly miss someone, how does it feels like? :(
When you truly miss someone, how does it feels like? :(

A New Day?
Today marks the first day I'm without you. Better, worst? I can't read my emotions properly right now. You're really not a fighter, that upsets me. I'm disappointed, truly am. I signed up for a marathon and this has became a walkaton instead. My mum asked me shortly after I woke up, "Is Michelle here today?". Nope, not anymore... she has left, for good. The way we looked at each other, the way we smile, the messages we exchange.... "wasn't something but wasn't nothing?" I hope I did contribute some good things and helped you with moving forward in life. It makes me wonder, why did God sent you to me? I can't write anymore, at least not for now. My heart has puncture. I'm tired, emotionally tired.
Dear Chelle
I was touched by a white dove today,
It rested on me singing songs of May,
Continue laying down and sleep on hay,
I remembered the dream about you that day,
You were pretty and sweet and still am now,
Delightfully you smile and make me go wow!
I never thought you'll come true and stay,
From a silent hope of a wish I prayed,
You make me laugh and cry and feel so gay,
Like a water lily experiencing four seasons a day,
I want to kiss you from dawn to night,
A gentle assurance I love you with all my might,
I'll watch you like an owl with great sight,
Protected you'll be cause I'll put on a fight,
Bring down anyone who hurts your pride,
In my embrace you'll sleep and I'll hug you tight,
Darling, lets sail thru the seven seas,
Exploring all the wonders of the earth,
Implanting lovely memories to our long life,
Like Apple Inc.'s logo with a permanent bite.
p/s: It was a good run, you and I. You didn't want to finish the race with me, I'll still run, probably alone this time. You were right, when someone cried, it'll never be good for the person.Thank you for the memories, happiness, fun, joy and your smiles.

Sunshine of Hope (Ko, Sa)
Tho our world may not be seen as perfect,Inducted with obstacles, ugliness & sinfulness,
Trauma, disasters, bitterness hits us time to time,
We couldn't bear looking at reality sometimes,
Because this place is not built by only you and me,
If you want to be in my shelter,
I always will provide a room for two,
For you and me and our future too,
Thru the storms I will hold you tight,
In the darkness I'll be your light,
You may fall, you may trip,
But never forget to hold my grip,
When you really feel like giving up,
Just hang on there and sit on tight,
I will be beside you to make sure its alright,
You need a map, you need a guide,
I will be your compass and be your sight,
We can be a team and win those fights,
Whenever you are lost stay right there,
Give me some time I'll reach for you here,
Sometimes, there maybe a boulder in front of us,
And theres no way to climb it alone,
Are you gonna stop or runaway from it?
or take my hands, and together...
We will make a path, make it thru
The sun is waitin for us on the other side... for ko dan sa.... percayalah.

Freestyle MCs
During my study break, like finally.... a break from KPMG, away from all the working files, queries , papers, laptop, questions, clients and stuff. A moment of relaxation yet that doesn't change the fact that I'm gonna sit for 2 CPA examination papers... this is hell.
So of course we would do all sorts of extra co-curricular activities during our holidays and I got hooked into youtube for 2 days over some freestyle rapping video, OMG, 2 days lesser for studies. Seriously, those videos are really cool. Never could I imagine that the underground hip hop scene would be so huge and every single day there are rap battles going on in one corner of a street, hall, bar, trains, anywhere, anytime.
So incase if you are not familiar with the term rapping, allow me to give a simple explanation. Rapping is referring to spoken or chanting lyrics with a rhythm and is usually the primary ingredient for hip-hop or reggae music. Don't get it? It's alright... check out these videos. A interview and a music video.
This rapper over here in the video is Marshall Bruce Mathers III. Maybe his birth name was kinda long or sounds kinda complicated, well I'm not sure why names must come with numbers too, this hip hop sensation is better known as Eminem or his alter ego Slim Shady in the music industry. Arguably one of the best rappers in the world, listed and rated as one of the greatest artists of all time by magazines including the famous Rolling Stone magazine, declaring Eminem as the King of Hip Hop and has ranked him 82nd on its list of The 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. He has won numerous rap battles in his earlier days, encountering many rappers out in the streets of Detroit and popularizing his homies/group D12 (Dirty Dozen) after rising to stardome. D12 itself has some histories and creative formation of names to live up to its groupname. D12 had 6 members and each of them would create an alter ego. Proof chose Dirty Harry, Bizarre became Peter S. Bizarre, Kuniva became Hannz G. (which later became Rondell Beene), Kon Artis chose Mr. Porter, Bugz became Robert Beck and Eminem created the character Slim Shady (which later became one of the biggest hits songs title - The Real Slim Shady). Therefore, 6 rappers + 6 alter ego + Detroit = D12, lol interesting? Since then, 2 members has left and been replaced up to date.
What is truly great about Eminem to me is that his style when he raps along the lyrics he wrote. He brings a strong emotion in telling the stories he has written bringing his music into life.
Amazing isn't it? You get fame and fortune for speaking fast accordingly to the beat. Damn, I wanna quit my job and be a rapper too. Unfortunately, it isn't that simple. According to Wikipedia (6 Oct 2011)...
"to successfully deliver a rap, a rapper must also develop vocal presence, enunciation and breath control. Vocal presence is the distinctiveness of a rapper's voice on record. Enunciation is essential to a flowing rap; some rappers choose also to exaggerate it for comic and artistic effect. Breath control, taking in air without interrupting one's delivery, is an important skill for a rapper to master, and a must for any MC. An MC with poor breath control cannot deliver difficult verses without making unintentional pauses."
In addition to that, most of the prominent and popular rappers that has crafted themselves a big name and wealth in the music industry has come a long long way in their career. Here's another video of a Hip Hop rising star making it big in Hong Kong. An introduction of him, an interview and one music video.
His name? Jin Au-Yeung with the stage name MC Jin, earlier names(100 Grand Jin and Jin the Emcee or even just The Emcee), growing up in the Miami, Florida area, and later living in New York City, now residing in Hong Kong. Jin is fluent Cantonese and English. He the first East Asian Chinese solo rapper to be signed to a major record label. The video itself is self explanatory where he won a lot of battles, writes, thinking of punch lines/words that rhyme everyday and probably these guys uses the dictionary 20 times more than an average person. His major break thru in the rapping scene came in after winning 7 battles in the roll in Freestyle Friday, enabling him to be inducted in the Freestyle Friday Hall of Fame. Freestyle Friday is a local program held in New York City inviting local rappers for rap battling sessions. I personally feel and agree with many that MC Jin is truly a lyrical genius rapper, with his fast thinking and counter attacks (which actually makes sense, sometimes it comes along with foul words too lol) and his ability to connect back to his opposing rapper's rap using his prepared punchlines and creation of new lyrics on the spot is just really cool. Sometimes I go like "he killed it with his last line, amazing!!".
And, a final video of a true real life, rap battle... MC Jin vs Sean Nicholas. Enjoy!
Wow, I don't think being a rapper is that easy after all. I shall stick back to my job for the moment. LOL!
p/s: For the record, kids can rap too
So of course we would do all sorts of extra co-curricular activities during our holidays and I got hooked into youtube for 2 days over some freestyle rapping video, OMG, 2 days lesser for studies.

Never could I imagine that the underground hip hop scene would be so huge and every single day there are rap battles going on in one corner of a street, hall, bar, trains, anywhere, anytime.
So incase if you are not familiar with the term rapping, allow me to give a simple explanation. Rapping is referring to spoken or chanting lyrics with a rhythm and is usually the primary ingredient for hip-hop or reggae music. Don't get it? It's alright... check out these videos. A interview and a music video.
This rapper over here in the video is Marshall Bruce Mathers III. Maybe his birth name was kinda long or sounds kinda complicated, well I'm not sure why names must come with numbers too, this hip hop sensation is better known as Eminem or his alter ego Slim Shady in the music industry. Arguably one of the best rappers in the world, listed and rated as one of the greatest artists of all time by magazines including the famous Rolling Stone magazine, declaring Eminem as the King of Hip Hop and has ranked him 82nd on its list of The 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. He has won numerous rap battles in his earlier days, encountering many rappers out in the streets of Detroit and popularizing his homies/group D12 (Dirty Dozen) after rising to stardome. D12 itself has some histories and creative formation of names to live up to its groupname. D12 had 6 members and each of them would create an alter ego. Proof chose Dirty Harry, Bizarre became Peter S. Bizarre, Kuniva became Hannz G. (which later became Rondell Beene), Kon Artis chose Mr. Porter, Bugz became Robert Beck and Eminem created the character Slim Shady (which later became one of the biggest hits songs title - The Real Slim Shady). Therefore, 6 rappers + 6 alter ego + Detroit = D12, lol interesting? Since then, 2 members has left and been replaced up to date.
What is truly great about Eminem to me is that his style when he raps along the lyrics he wrote. He brings a strong emotion in telling the stories he has written bringing his music into life.
Amazing isn't it? You get fame and fortune for speaking fast accordingly to the beat. Damn, I wanna quit my job and be a rapper too. Unfortunately, it isn't that simple. According to Wikipedia (6 Oct 2011)...
"to successfully deliver a rap, a rapper must also develop vocal presence, enunciation and breath control. Vocal presence is the distinctiveness of a rapper's voice on record. Enunciation is essential to a flowing rap; some rappers choose also to exaggerate it for comic and artistic effect. Breath control, taking in air without interrupting one's delivery, is an important skill for a rapper to master, and a must for any MC. An MC with poor breath control cannot deliver difficult verses without making unintentional pauses."
In addition to that, most of the prominent and popular rappers that has crafted themselves a big name and wealth in the music industry has come a long long way in their career. Here's another video of a Hip Hop rising star making it big in Hong Kong. An introduction of him, an interview and one music video.
His name? Jin Au-Yeung with the stage name MC Jin, earlier names(100 Grand Jin and Jin the Emcee or even just The Emcee), growing up in the Miami, Florida area, and later living in New York City, now residing in Hong Kong. Jin is fluent Cantonese and English. He the first East Asian Chinese solo rapper to be signed to a major record label. The video itself is self explanatory where he won a lot of battles, writes, thinking of punch lines/words that rhyme everyday and probably these guys uses the dictionary 20 times more than an average person. His major break thru in the rapping scene came in after winning 7 battles in the roll in Freestyle Friday, enabling him to be inducted in the Freestyle Friday Hall of Fame. Freestyle Friday is a local program held in New York City inviting local rappers for rap battling sessions. I personally feel and agree with many that MC Jin is truly a lyrical genius rapper, with his fast thinking and counter attacks (which actually makes sense, sometimes it comes along with foul words too lol) and his ability to connect back to his opposing rapper's rap using his prepared punchlines and creation of new lyrics on the spot is just really cool. Sometimes I go like "he killed it with his last line, amazing!!".
And, a final video of a true real life, rap battle... MC Jin vs Sean Nicholas. Enjoy!
Wow, I don't think being a rapper is that easy after all. I shall stick back to my job for the moment. LOL!
p/s: For the record, kids can rap too

Sweetheart
Ever since stepping into KPMG, I practically stopped blogging. Time quickly sailed thru like a yacht catching a strong wind breezing thru this huge sea. It was quite change for me, to experience things in a greater level, meeting much more people, maturing and I realised... I have grown a lot thru these few years staying single, striving to improve each and everyday in all aspects of life.
It was a fun and exciting journey, cause in my field of work, you encounter different situation everyday. I would choose to illustrate my job this way. It's like all the dots scattered around the paper and you can't just figure out how can these things make any sense to you. But when you are able to connect all of it and form a picture, it is satisfying. To able to decorate and add some finishing touch, it is even more fullfilling. When you frame it up, stick it to the wall and look at it and finally say, "This is my masterpiece". The contentment and joy of one's effort completing his job just can't be expressed simply by words.
It does worries my mum a little, where each day I would come back home late from work or my gym. Yeah, I subscribed to a gym almost half a year ago with a goal to lose 12 kgs and get some muscles. Finally right? So she asked me from time to time, "Simon, do you not want to look for a partner anymore?". I couldn't really give her a solid answer as I wasn't too sure myself. After having meeting countless ladies, well men too (men can be really interesting people as they are usually the ones who would share a lot of life experiences to you), I just gave up on looking for the girl and I tell myself, if there is a girl who is meant to be, she will come.... she will come.
Thereafter nothing really changed and I became a more bubbly guy as it felt like I've let go something in me. It was strange as I never thought I would appear to be attractive to many actually. However, I did not reply their love... it was lacking substance, I thought.
One afternoon when I was in a training session conducted by the seniors of my firm, I got bored and added this colleague into an online app. We started talking ever since. Somehow, I managed to get her out of her comfort zone and pull off a first meeting in a club, how strange and funny isn't it? It was a good, fun night but perhaps it could be a little better if I didn't need to carry a drunk lady all the way back to her car and make sure she will be sleeping soundly at home.
We went out on a second meeting watching Overheard 2. I was attracted to her brown beautiful eyes and often peep at her when she did not noticed. It looks pure, at least to me that prompt me more to want to know her in the coming days. It wasn't too long, in fact not long at all where we meet again and again till the day I was at her place. She was cutting my nails and I felt something for her ever since then.
It was a Monday, where we spent time doing little little things where most people would do, having meals, watching movies, playing pool, doing a little grocery shopping and I was at her place again. It was fun having wine, playing truth or dare (she made me do quite a few silly and embarrassing stuffs, trust me) and I felt again that strange bond and connection with her. I knew she is someone I must not miss in life.
Shortly after she went to the washroom and came out, I hugged her. We dance and we kissed, the music plays and its been a while since I last felt something much stronger for a girl. Afraid, I thought if I did not tell her anything tonight, she might be taken off by another guy soon enough before I can even have another chance in future. In a brief moment after the music could no longer be heard, I asked her to be my girl. She said yes and there is she my babygirl..... happily with me now ^^.

p/s: Well technically I made her agreed to my request but... she still said yes herself xD

Grenade

Easy come, easy go
That's just how you live oh
Take, take, take it all
But you never give
Should have known
You was trouble
From the first kiss
Had your eyes wide open
Why were they open?
Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash,
Tossed it in the trash you did (just like your balls)
To give me all your love
Is all I ever asked
But what you don't understand is
I'd catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah) Oh, oh
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for you baby
But you won't do the same
No, no, no, no
Black, black, black and blue
Beat me till I'm numb
Tell the devil I said "hey" when you get back to where you're from
Mad woman, bad woman,
That's just what you are, yeah,
You'll smile in my face then
Rip the brakes out my car
Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, yes you did
To give me all your love
Is all I ever asked
Cause what you don't understand is
If my body was on fire, ooh
You' d watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me you're a liar
Cause you never, ever, ever did baby...
No, you won't do the same,
You wouldn't do the same,
Ooh, you'll never do the same,
No, no, no, no

Car Wash
It's Sunday and I spent my morning worship leading in church. It was pretty good I'd say, it's not coming from me aite, it's from the people *blurps* and brunch in OUG, the famous curry mee. The service was rather slow and insentitive to demand, which clearly explains the number of customers.The rest of the day was dedicated to sleeping and...... CAR WASH. Man....I love my car and every soul knows that. It's like a knife going thru my heart each time I see a new scratch carved into its skin. Ouch! Not to mention the workshop that fixed my car from a minor accident a couple of days back, they got nice screwing session from me for not doing a good job (loads of new scratches) and had to redo the process.
It was about 4pm when after my nap. So, I proceed with a pail of water and bubble wash it with the shampoo, sponge with my brother helping me with the water spray. So sweet eh? NOT. SOOOO MUCHH of help.... marvelous water spraying skills. Excellento....
How can I be wetter than my car when the subject to wash is my car? WTH!!!!!! How can someone miss the entire MyVi and accurately aimed the spray to a guy 1/10 the size of the car straight to my face? For the record, it was 3 times! !@#!#&^@#( How can you wage war with the King of Water Fight a.k.a. Simon Ng?!
That's it, he passed me back the spray and it was my turn to miss my car hahaha! Oooo I gave him a dip in the man made rain... Damn! Wet like Sunway Lagoon. The next thing I know is he came running to me with the pail of car wash soap and water and........ *SPLASH!* So much for a Sunday evening....... being showered in car shampoo....
Don't you try running away from me idiot!!!!! You'll be dead when I get my hands on you!!!! *Runsssss*
