I Am Malaysian
I am Malaysian
I can speak Chinese
Because my ancestors were Chinese
But, I am Malaysian
I am Malaysian
I call Malaysia home
Because it is where I was born
So, I am Malaysian
I am Malaysian
I choose to exercise my rights
Because I have to do what is right
Therefore, I fight as a Malaysian
I am Malaysian
I vote for a better future
Because I want a better future
A future where we are all Malaysians
A future where I do not have to fill in my “race”
A future where we stand united as one race
A future where I do not fear my government
A future where the government serves its people
A future where I can proudly tell the world that,
“I am Malaysian
I love my country
And I love my leader”
~ Ashley
P.S.: Right now, I am not entirely proud of being a Malaysian. I am not entirely happy to be a Malaysian. I love my country, and it saddens me so much to see a bunch of monkeys running this country to the ground. It has become worse in the past 10 years. I am not sure of what the future will bring, but I am all hopeful. I am not a supporter of the opposition, but I am a supporter of change. 56 years…… It is long enough. Chance should be given to others, just like when the Americans given Obama a chance. For better or worse, we will be the ones who make the history. The vote, is in our hands. Why are we so afraid of change? I have heard people saying, “no one is capable enough to rule this country”. My dear, we are not sure, we are not sure. Don’t judge too quickly. At least, a change is better than nothing. Change, is what we need now.
He gave his people hope, but many are now disappointed. At least, the people of USA held their heads high and said, “I made that change”. I wish I would be able to say that, on 5th May 2013.
Surviving. Praying.
No words
Can describe
No tears
Can define
I wish for nothing
As I can’t wish no more
I dream no future
As I see no future
Beyond sadness
I stand
Above hopelessness
I pray
Life goes on
I go on
Here I am
Standing strong
There you are
Going strong
Against all odds
We survive
~ Ashley
I cannot say enough of how much respect I have for those who’s strong enough to stand by the side of their sick family members. I salute my sister for being so strong to go through all of it from the moment her husband got sick to the day he left, and with a toddler to take care of. I respect my friend who for the past three years never gave up on her boyfriend (who was seriously injured in a car accident) even when the people around her told her to. He is on his way to full recovery.
For those who’s fighting the battle that can’t seem to win, have a little more faith in yourself and also in your god. Miracle happens when you least expect it. For those who lost their loved ones unfortunately, never lose hope and don’t stop praying. You are already a miracle to be able to be strong for others.

The Memory. The Future.
Have we met?
Have we kissed?
I can’t recall
I don’t remember
I see you
But I don’t know you
I hear you
But I don’t feel you
In my dream
I know you
I feel you
I love you
Is this a dream?
My dream?
Is this a memory?
My memory?
It does not matter now
You are here,
With me
You are,
My future
~ Ashley
P.S. : Inspired by the movie, Oblivion, of what Jack Harper felt.

学。坏。
我不是天使
我没有光圈
也没有翅膀
我不是恶魔
我头上没角
也没三叉戟
不要说我好
因为我从没说过我是好人
不要说我坏
因为我没有作恶多端
了解我
就不要说我
说我的
也只不过是在给自己套光圈
要说我
就不要学我
要学我
就不要说我坏
我坏么？
那，你还学？！
要学人之前
先学好如何做好自己罢

Il Lido Italian Dining @ Jalan Mayang
I’m not a big fan of Italian cuisine/food. The way the food is cooked, isn’t always my liking.
I can’t say that I’ve tried all the nice Italian cuisine available in KL, but I’ve tried enough. Every time I went I would try to keep an open mind, hoping that this would be different and nicer. However, I just couldn’t bring myself to say, “I love it”.
Il Lido Italian Dining, located just opposite my office block, has been around for quite some time. I’ve heard people singing its praises, but I’ve never got the chance to try it. Many times my colleagues and I had planned to go, and there would always be last minute changes that we couldn’t make it.
Il Lido has had a few promotional deals on Groupon, but I never bought it. Until last month, the deal came again.
It was the 3-course Italian fine dining weekday lunch and drinks for one person at RM35. Usually, during weekdays, they have set lunch which costs RM49.90++ I was thinking, perhaps I could go with Andrew. If at all Andrew couldn’t go with me, I’d go with my colleagues then. So, I bought 2. Then, I saw there was another deal, RM100 for RM200 value of cash voucher which you can use any time, any day! Damn! If I’ve had seen this earlier, I wouldn’t buy the set lunch. ARGH! After considering it for 5 minutes, I bought it.
I know, I know. For someone who doesn’t like Italian, it is crazy to buy 2 deals at one time. I thought if at all I don’t like it, I can give/sell the voucher to my colleagues. Also, we just got to be adventurous and challenge ourselves every now and then right? :)
I went with Andrew for the lunch last week. The restaurant is located on the 1st floor in The Mayang. The moment I reached, I was greeted by someone who could remember my name! I did make a reservation, but I didn’t expect them to be expecting and remembering me. When I stepped into the restaurant, I understand why he could remember me. There was only 2 tables occupied, the restaurant was pretty empty. Perhaps I was the only one who made reservation. Hahahahaha.
Decoration is nice, looks VERY classy! I thought I was in some 5-star hotel restaurant. :) The only problem is, in a restaurant with less than 10 patrons and with that kind of atmosphere, you have to literally whisper so that you won’t look like some “sakai” coming from the jungle. @__@ Imagine if you were to come with a group of friends, it would be pretty “uncomfortable” to even just talk or laugh louder. I didn’t even dare to stand up and walk around to take photos.
I am really sorry that I didn’t get the name of the man who served us. Andrew and I had problems choosing the food, because we weren’t given a menu. The man just told us, “for appetiser today we have…… for main we have……” Gosh…… I wonder why can’t they just give us the set lunch menu. I felt so embarrassed to have to keep asking him to repeat and “what is that”. -__- Lucky that he was pretty patient and polite with us, although I did see a tint of annoyance on his face.
Set lunch is actually a 3-course meal. We were so surprised when the waiter came and serve us this home smoked tuna with beetroot and horseradish. Heard the waiter mumbled something, I guessed he meant complimentary. It’s a small piece of tuna wrapped with beetroot and horseradish sauce. I took out my handphone, took a photo of it, admiring the tiny piece of tuna and talking to Andrew about how big the plate is for such a small piece of tuna…… And suddenly I realised something, the waiter was still standing beside our table waiting for us to EAT it! @__@ He was staring at us, with the stare that told us to “quickly eat it”! So, I popped the tuna into my mouth. Oh boy…… It tastes so fresh! The beetroot is crunchy and the horseradish adds another layer of flavour to the whole thing. My goodness, I wish I could have second one! Soon after I finished the tuna, the waiter was so quick to take (or I should say snatch) away the plate. @__@ What is this? I don’t appreciate this kind of “efficiency”.
Then we were served their homemade bread which also tastes heavenly. It is warm , the skin is so crunchy but it is so fluffy on the inside! None of the Italian restaurants that I’ve been to served warm bread! It is by far the tastiest bread I have ever had in an Italian restaurant. I so wanted to go for a second piece but I know I gotta keep some room in my stomach for the food later. The vinegar and virgin olive oil that comes with it taste better than those others that I’ve tried before. I am really impressed with their quality.
Here comes the appetiser! Andrew went for the salad, which I don’t know the name. Hahahaha. There is some red crunchy stuff in the salad, we can’t quite figure out what it is. Tastes like bacon, but also tastes like beef, or ham…… Nothing to shout about with this salad, only good is it is VERY fresh.
I am a soup person, so it is only natural that I chose soup. It is leek and potato soup. Sorry to say, I don’t really fancy the texture. It tastes more like runny mashed potato with leek. Unique combination of leek and potato, but it doesn’t have that “omph” chemistry.
As for the main course, we were given three choices, squid ink pasta, or sea-bass fillet, or meat platter (grilled lamb sausage, beef and chicken). I so wanted to try the squid ink pasta (I’ve been missing it since the first time I tried it last year) but I gotta stop taking so much of dairy products as my rashes is coming back. So, I got a bit more adventurous and chose the meat platter while Andrew went for the fish.
Andrew said the fish is just so-so. I had a bite, the fish has this strong “fishy” taste which I don’t like. No doubt it is fresh, but I don’t like fish that leaves the after-taste in my mouth that makes me feel like I’ve eaten the fish raw.
My meat platter on the other hand, is heavenly delicious! I only took a bite of the lamb sausage, I can now officially pronounce that I SERIOUSLY do not love lamb. I thought the lamb would “stink” lesser in the form of sausage, I was wrong. I could still taste the smell and I quickly chucked the remaining of the sausage to Andrew. To me, it is stinky lamb. To him, it is the aroma of the lamb. @__@ The beef is so delicious!!! It was nicely grilled, medium I would say. The meat was so tender. I enjoyed every bite of it and secretly wishing it to be of larger piece. Hahahaha. After I finished the beef, the 2 pieces chicken (perhaps I took a long time to finish the beef) were kind of cold. However, it still tastes nice. The skin is crunchy and the meat isn’t hard and dry. They used a lot of rosemary (which I find excessive) on the chicken. The strip of the gravy on the side of the plate is just not enough for me. Wish they could give more of that.
Ta-da! Here’s the dessert! I believe it is pannacotta. The waiter didn’t say anything and I was too shy to ask. :D Both Andrew and I got the same dessert, so there isn’t a need for him to say anything. First spoon, oh dear…… My eyes went wide and immediately I went for the second spoon. MMMMM…… I was urging Andrew to stop texting and quickly eat his dessert! It tastes so yummy!!! I can’t really describe it, you’ll have to taste it to feel it. However, I got kind of sick of it towards the end. Lucky that it is small. That’s the beauty of dessert, it is small. :) They know you’ll get sick of it at the end if you were to eat a lot of it and you’ll definitely leave a bad comment. :)
All in all, I would give Il Lido 4.5 stars out of 5. My favorite Italian at the moment. Now, I can say I like Italian cuisine. :)
Will be going for dinner again this Wednesday. Yippie! :D

One Thing You Would Rather Die Than Quit Eating
Was chit chatting with Melissa and this thing came to my mind. One thing that I could never quit eating. If you were to tell me that I can never eat that for the rest of my life again, I would stuff myself to death with it today. LOL!
I.CANNOT.LIVE.WITHOUT.ICE.CREAM.
That is one of the most amazing and delicious delicacies, how can you take it out of my life?! I would be so miserable if I couldn’t eat that for the rest of life! Just the thought of it is enough to make me feel “doomed”.
I can quit coffee (in fact, I’ve stopped my daily fix for nearly 2 months).
I can quit cold drinks or soda (actually, I don’t really fancy them).
I can quit chocolate (except chocolate ice-cream of course).
I can quit sweets (rarely eat them).
I can quit pastries and cakes.
I can quit cheese (can’t eat too much of them anyway).
I can quit pork!
But please don’t ask me to quit ice-cream!!!
When I found out I am lactose intolerant last year, I was so devastated. That means I can’t eat ice-cream any more! T__T For the first few months I really stayed out of dairy products the best I could. Whenever I saw ice-cream, I would sulk. The feeling of “can-see-but-cannot-eat” was so overwhelming.
However, after a few months, I couldn’t be bothered. After all, I’ll just get the rashes for a day or two, nothing as serious as purging. So, I continue with eating ice-cream but stay off most of the other dairy products. :D That way, I won’t be “lactose overdosed”. Clever me, ain’t I? Hahahahahahaha.
So, what’s the one thing that you can’t quit eating? Just think, if you were to be told that you can’t eat it again for the rest of your life, it’s enough to make you panic! Hehehehe…… There must be something. :P
Gelatomio has become one of my favorites for its variety and texture. :)
The TV. My Lullaby.
Good that I can still find time to blog! Not really creative writing, just my life and habits and stuff like that.
When I was still staying in the rented place, I had a TV in the room. Every time I got home, the first thing I would do was to switch the TV on (I still do that now). I’d watch whatever that was on. When I went to take my shower, I would leave the TV on, not that i could still watch it. :p Very often I would come back seeing it off, Andrew turned it off, I would give him some cold stares and told him to switch it back on.
Most of the time, I would doze off half way watching the TV and Andrew would switch it off. Here’s the “magic” moment, I would wake up the second the TV went off! Hahahahaha. I would give Andrew the stare again and he would just shoo me to “go back to sleep”.
I have this special “thing” with the TV. Whenever I’m in the house, I would leave the TV on although I’m not watching it. I don’t like a quiet house. When I cook, or shower, or ironing, or doing my laundry, the TV would be on. Whenever Andrew switches it off thinking I’m not watching, I would ask him to switch it back on.
I love to sleep with the TV on. :)
It’s funny and weird, every time Andrew thinks I’m in my deep sleep and switches the TV off, I will wake up. Most of the times I’ll wake up the moment the sound is gone. Andrew can’t do anything about it. :p He’s just puzzled why I have this weird habit.
I too am wondering since when this weird habit started and why. I don’t like noises when I sleep, but why can I sleep with the TV on? Why would I wake up the moment it is off?
Of course, I don’t leave the TV on when I sleep at night, luckily.
My TV, is my lullaby. :)
Hidden Truths – by Ito
Here’s a poem, written by a friend that I’ve never met. We are a world apart, yet he’s an old friend whom I “met” on the world wide web. Amazing, isn’t it? How the internet can get you a friend of a lifetime. :)
Hidden Truths
why do people hide
why do they choose not to tell
why can’t they just say it
is it so hard
to tell someone
the truth,
blame cultures,
it’s part of the culture to
save face
that’s no excuse
why do people hide truths
why do they choose not to tell
why can’t they just say it
i can’t believe it’s that hard
just say it
say the truth
i will find it more honorable
to say
here is the truth,
rather than to save face.
why do people hide
why do they choose not to tell
why can’t they just say it
I will never know
but when you encounter me
do me a favor
don’t save face
by,
- ito
P.S.: Ros (if you’re reading this), you know that I always tell you the truth. :)
The Word
Say it like it is your last
It is meant to be said
It is meant to be uttered
I wish to be your last
It is what I said
I will never be your last
You did not get what I said
You said, at last
“It was written, in the wind
It was carved, in the sand
The wind blew it away
The rain washed it away”
Do not write
Do not carve
My dear,
It is meant to be uttered
It is meant to be said
Say it like it is your last
~ Ashley
So Long. Farewell.
Peace
I see
Pain
I feel
Songs
I sing
Tears
Falling
Blessed
With love
Rest
In peace
~ Ashley
You always greeted me with your smile and friendliness. We did not meet often, but whenever you saw me, it was always like you’d seen an old friend. I did not have the chance to get to know you better, but you left an impression on my heart. All of us will miss you. You’ve fought well, now you can rest. By His side.
My heart still feels the pain……

傻。爱。
好傻
追求一份不完整的爱
等待一个不完整的人
好傻
哪怕只是一丁点的爱
就算留住一瞬间的人
好傻
明知是没有未来的爱
明知是来去如风的人
好傻
抛开一切只信你的爱
不顾一切只为你的人
好傻
那么轻却又那么重的爱
那么近却又那么远的人
我的爱没有未来
我的爱并不存在
我们的爱。。。 好傻
~ Ashley
放
是你
让我放不开
是我
学不会放开
痛了
紧紧握着
伤了
静静等着
为何 痛了
还不放手
为何 伤了
还有期望
不听
只因不懂放手
不做
只是不愿罢手
真的痛了吗
真的伤了吗
放手吧
够了
~ Ashley
M.I.C.K.E.Y MOUSE
I am not a person who goes crazy over one particular cartoon character. I love one thing, but I don’t go all fanatic over it. If you want me to really point out one thing that I consistently show my love to, I must say it is Mickey Mouse. :)
Now, don’t we all love Mickey Mouse? :)
I’m not like the biggest fan of Mickey Mouse, but I do love Mickey very much. I don’t have many collections of Mickey toys at home, but sometimes I would buy a few when I see the cute ones.
Whenever I see a Mickey toy, I will go “Yeeeee!!! MICKEY!!!” I would reach out, grab the toy, look at it, show it to Andrew (if he’s around), ask him if I could have it, and then I’d put it down reluctantly.
Very often, out of no where, I will start chanting/singing, “M.I.C.K.E.Y. M.O.U.S.E”. These words will sometimes just come into my mind with no apparent reason. Andrew is sometimes puzzled, “don’t know what’s got into her again”. Hahahahaha……
I still love watching those classic Mickey Mouse cartoons. Somehow, I don’t really like those new ones.
I basically went crazy the moment I stepped into Disneyland Hong Kong. Everywhere I turned and there would be Mickey! Was soaking myself in the souvenirs store ooh-ing and aw-ing at the soft toys. Finally, a place where I could yell “Mickey!” and pointing here and there, like a small kid. :)
So, when I saw so many of Mickey Mouse displays in Mid Valley last week, I went “MICKEY!” again. :p Sadly, don’t think that they do Mickey Mouse any justice. Most of them were ugly painted or decorated. I still love the same-old, same-old red-pants-yellow-shoes Mickey.
Love the black & white Mickey :)
Mickey in lace!!! This is the most unique one I find. The rest of them are either ugly or weird that I don’t even feel excited looking at them.
No, this is not Mickey Mouse. LOL! It’s the shirt I’m wearing, with Mickey’s head print! The moment I saw the colors and Mickey’s head, I knew I gotta buy it. :D Bought this in Bangkok, 200 Baht! Happy! :D
Well, do you love Mickey Mouse too? :)
Half
There it comes
There it goes
Am I writing
Am I stopping
Here you come
Here you go
Nothing you read
Nothing you see
Terrible it seems
Horrible it feels
There I write
There I stop
It comes and goes
Everything ends
In HALF
~ Ashley
P.S.: I have written a few blog posts, all in half! This is what happens lately. When the inspirations come, I put them into words. Then I have to settle something at work. When I return to my screen maybe 1 hour later, I look at what I wrote earlier on, blink my eyes…… F***! I don’t know how to continue!!! Everything, every idea is gone! It’s like my brain has been sucked dry by some vacuum monster. Gone, all gone. This is terrible…… I have 4 blog posts that I written half way…… SIGH……
Every time I see this, I smile. :) – Photo by Andrew at Wat Saket, Bangkok.
Life Is Never Fair
What do you do when you know life is never fair, and will never be fair?
Murderer gets away after murdering someone innocent, and the police tells the family of the victim that, life is never fair.
Someone incapable is elected as a country leader, and the politicians tell you, life is never fair.
Someone who is innocent is convicted to murder and imprisonment of 20 years because of the flaws in the justice system, and you tell him, life is never fair.
Your dog who’s been with you for 10 years dies in a car accident, and your friends tell you, life is never fair.
You’ve been longing for a child for 12 years but you know you will never have one, and someone tells you, life is never fair.
You have a pretty face but you are handicapped, and everyone says to you, life IS fair as the creator gave you some but took away some.
You have a loving husband and a happy marriage but it only lasts 5 years, and all of them say, life IS fair because you have your fair share.
You have 3 beautiful children, a good husband and are young and diagnosed with terminal disease, and doctor tells you, life IS fair.
What do you do?
All of us should stop complaining?
Shall we also stop living the life as want it since life will never be fair? Or life will always be fair?
Life is so unpredictable. So, shall we stop hoping or looking forward to the future?
So, when we are happy or dying, we shall stop being grateful or complaining.
Life is never fair. Or, life is always fair. You win some, you lose some. This is life.
P.S.: If someone were to tell me that life is never fair or this is life when my brother-in-law passed away many years ago, I would have slapped his/her face. Say that (this is life/life is never fair) to his then 3 year-old daughter! Things don’t happen to you, of course you can take a back seat and say that. I’m sorry, I’m just ranting. Too many of unhappy news lately, people around me keep throwing bad news at me. I am so scared and worried, will it be me soon?
I will never reach the top,
I will never succeed in anything,
I will never hope,
I will never fight,
if you always tell me,
that this is life, it is never fair.
Perhaps, I will be contented,
that this is life, it is never fair.
Don’t blame me,
for not reaching the top,
for not succeeding in something,
for never hoping,
for giving up.
That is because, you told me,
that this is life, it is never fair.

Break
Happy halo
Gone for good
Bitter, hello
Stay it would
Feeling so low
That’s my mood
A break or so
Take I should
I need a break!
NOW!
~ Ashley
Feel unhappy lately, both at work and home. No, not because of Andrew. I am happy when I’m with him, it’s the house. Most of the things are still in a mess. The living room is fine, but kitchen is pretty empty, I don’t have utensils to cook. Salt, pepper, cooking oil…… I don’t have any of that to cook. As much as I want to cook, I don’t have what is required to cook.
Still haven’t bought new mattress and bed for master bedroom. We are now sleeping on the mattress on the floor. The old mattress is straining my back, backache is back and is getting worse. Couldn’t sleep well lately. Just gotten the wardrobe settled, finally we can continue to furnish our bedroom and start unpacking the clothes.
You may say that I am exaggerating the wardrobe issue, I can still unpack even if the wardrobe without handles and I can still furnish my room without the wardrobe. Well, unpack and risk getting the clothes dirty? How was I going to open the doors everyday without handles? How to furnish when the room is full with stuff that I can’t unpack? Anyway, it’s over now.
Feeling so helpless at work. I am still doing everything on my own. Boss is expecting more from me. When I concentrate on one thing, I can’t do the rest. So helpless…… He too has said things that I felt uncomfortable with.
Both the house and work is taking its toll on me. I am so tired that I practically do nothing during weekends except house chores. I have not felt so tired before. -__-
I seriously need a break. So people say “take a break” for a reason. I need to take a break.

The OMEGA
I consider myself a sentimental person. I grow feelings towards the things I own, big or small.
I don’t change my shoes very often. I have 2 pairs for casual, 4 pairs for work/function/dinner, a pair of slipper and a pair for exercise. If you’re telling me it’s a lot, well, wait till you see my sisters’ shoes cabinet! LOL! I buy new shoes only when the one I’m wearing is not wearable anymore. I often feel very heavy-hearted to throw away my shoes when they’re no longer wearable. I even keep my old crocs for 2 years already. For what? I don’t know. It went through thick and thin with me, can’t just throw it, right?
I don’t have a lot of bags too. Bag is something that I treasure a lot. I’ll make sure I buy a good one that can last me for years, so I’ll go for quality and practicality for bags. Since I have a good quality one, again it is very hard for me when the bag got worn off or torn.
My clothes, is the only thing that I keep buying. :D However, I grow feelings towards them too. Those with quality that I could wear for years, I take really good care of them. I have clothes that I have been wearing for 5 years! I will be sad when a piece of shirt got torn, or it is so old that I can’t wear it anymore. I try not to buy clothes which I know is going to be outdated the following year. My motto of shopping for clothes, “things that make Ashley, Ashley”. Perhaps that’s the reason why I feel so much for my clothes.
Watch, is something that I don’t buy often too. The main and important reason is, I believe in “love at first sight” when it comes to watches. When I have one, I stick to it until, again, it serves its cause. Or, until I feel like adding new one to the “family”. :D Watch is something that will not have wear and tear, scratches yes. So, I often go for one that I can wear for any occasion.
That time has come, been itching for a new watch since last year. Colleague recommended Suunto to me, but it’s not what I like. It’s more of a sports watch, and they’re all digital watches. I like only analogue watches, love seeing those numbers on the face and how the hands move when it goes tick tock. :)
Tag Heuer advertisements are everywhere, but I don’t really like their designs. They’re too tough-looking, and lack of that classic look of a watch. Then I saw Omega Seamaster. My goodness!!! So pretty…… Sigh…… It comes with a price tag that I can’t afford……
So, it’s either I start saving now, or I just drop the idea of owning an Omega. If you know me well enough, I’m sure you will know my answer. ;) Ashley isn’t quite a quitter.
Seamaster Aqua Terra – Red gold on leather. Love this so much!!!
De Ville Hour Vision Blue – Special edition for ORBIS. How about splurging and doing charity together? In support of ORBIS, Omega guaranteed that at least one million U.S. dollars from its sale will be donated to ORBIS. More reason to buy Omega. :D
De Ville Co-Axial Rattrapante – Red gold on leather. This one looks so sophisticated. Love Omega Men’s collection more than Ladies’.
De Ville Hour Vision Annual Calendar – Red gold on leather. I love leather watches, dislike the coldness the steel feels on my wrist.
Meet the Speedmaster Chronometer (Ladies) on leather! This is so pretty and versatile!!! If I have this, I wouldn’t want any other watches!
De Ville Annual Calendar – Platinum on leather. Platinum??? *Blinks* It’s a platinum case!!! Gosh, how much does this darn thing cost?!
Alright, enough of OMEGA. Now, back to the reality of, I CAN’T AFFORD NONE OF THE ABOVE! T__T

Hush Hush
Speak softly
Walk lightly
Move gently
Breathe quietly
Hush, hush
For love is fragile
The harshness of words
The rush of steps
The violence of act
The heaviness of breath
Hush, hush
For love is gentle
Love me tender
Love me gentle

One Day 2011
One Day,
I met you.
I loved you.
One Day,
You left me.
You hurt me.
One Day,
We met again.
We kissed again.
One Day,
I fell.
I slept.
One Day,
I would choose,
To do it all over again.

One Day, a heart-wrenching movie. By the time I finished the movie, my heart ached so much.
So near yet so far. It is so painful to see that Emma had to go through so much to be with the man she loved. I just can’t agree to the idea of “love is about self-sacrificing”. On the other hand, how could you let someone who loved you so much to slip away and took ages to realise that you loved him/her too?
Although Emma did get to be with Dexter, it was a short-lived fairy tale. It is just, SAD! :(
I’m grateful, that the man I love, loves me back too. That I do not need to go through a decade of pain and wait for the man to love me back.
Life is too short to not let your loved ones know, that you love them.
Now go, “love” someone whole-heartedly. :)
Love is
It’s been so long since I last blogged. To be honest, I didn’t miss blogging at all for the past 2 weeks! Oh gosh…… Geez…… No!!! I must not let my passion die!!! I want to write!
Love is,
he eats whatever you want to eat even when he doesn’t like it.
Love is,
he goes wherever you want to go even when he doesn’t want to.
Love is,
he still holds your hand even when you’re mad at him.
Love is,
he offers to carry your handbag even when that makes him looks sissy.
Love is,
he will still kiss you even when you have the morning breath.
Love is,
he laughs at your jokes even when they’re not funny.
Love is,
he smiles and calls you “silly” even when you’re clumsy.
Love is,
loving your everything that other men do not love.

P.S.: Love is, he still loves you even when you’re digging nose. LOL! :D Beat that!
不满
不满
太多了
每一字
每一句
听不下去
诸多道理
变成了借口
不悦
太久了
每一分
每一秒
苦忍下去
太多承诺
都成了泡影
不满
满满充斥了一颗心
欠缺的勇气
无以追寻
好想说
靠！老板，我不爽！！！
