Same Auld Lang Syne - Don Fogelberg

Met my old lover in the grocery store

The snow was falling Christmas Eve

I stole behind her in the frozen foods

And I touched her on the sleeve

She didn't recognize the face at first

But then her eyes flew open wide

She went to hug me and she spilled her purse

And we laughed until we cried.

We took her groceries to the checkout stand

The food was totalled up and bagged

We stood there lost in our embarrassment

As the conversation dragged.

We went to have ourselves a drink or two

But couldn't find an open bar

We bought a six-pack at the liquor store

And we drank it in her car.

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now

And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how.

She said she'd married her an architect

Who kept her warm and safe and dry

She would have liked to say she loved the man
But she didn't like to lie

I said the years had been a friend to her

And that her eyes were still as blue

But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw

Doubt or gratitude.

She said she saw me in the record store
And that I must be doing well

I said the audience was heavenly

But the traveling was hell.

We drank a toast to innocence

We drank a toast to now

And tried to reach beyond the emptiness

But neither one knew how.

We drank a toast to innocence

We drank a toast to time

Reliving in our eloquence

Another auld lang syne...

The beer was empty and our tongues were tired

And running out of things to say

She gave a kiss to me as I got out

And I watched her drive away.

Just for a moment I was back at school

And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make my way back home

The snow turned into rain --

Mask ~ trying to get it off

A mask, one simple thing which a person uses as a disguise and hide their true self.. I'm right now hiding behind one and that mask is one difficult one to get it off.

All these years, I have put myself at a state where people find me very energetic and bubbly, even when I allow my tears to fall, they wont last long. I want people to always see me a happy person, and I am able to lift the spirits of others up.

But now, I don't know why, but after years of bottling up most of my problems and pain and hurts, I guess am just much like a volcano that is about to explode. I really want to let everything out and share to somebody, but I guess there ain't many who are willing to sit and listen, and lend me a shoulder to cry on. They just turn away, and wanna be happy in their own life. Even those that I comforted and been there when they needed me. That hurts, u know?

I can't exactly do much. God, will u give me strength???

Tying the knot ~ different generation

Nowadays, there have been multiple news of people who are going to tie the knot, entering another phase of their life. No idea why I wanted to write about this, maybe because all of a sudden something just went through my mind.




Well, you see... Marriage can be different to certain people. To some, it is just trying to fit into a really lovely wedding gown and look extremely dazzling and gorgeous on that special event. To others, it might just be another phase of their life that they feel obliged to enter into ( most certainly being pestered by the parents or some other relatives ). To another group of people, it is something which signifies that it is the beginning of something which is very meaningful, which is to share the life which they are going to live with somebody who they really love.

To me, it definitely would be the third category. But then, it is a saddening fact that there might be many young people in this world that might just think that marriage is just something which is simply for fun and to enjoy for a little while, and then file a divorce later on. It ain't something which is very queer nor unusual now to file a divorce, since it seems to be something like a trend, especially in the glamorous world. I just feel that it ain't suppose to be that way, because if it does, what's the whole point of exchanging the vows? No point right?? It would be just a mtter of ritual and saying it for the sake of saying it. Marriage then would only to throw a wedding reception, exchanging of beautiful and expensive wedding rings and fitting into elegant and beautiful wedding gowns.

Things have really been different now compared to the years before. Nevertheless, there are still people that cherish the moment and stay side by side with one another till the day they return to dust. Well, those years together would be the most beautiful moments to share, don't you think so?

* To all that are tying the knot soon, may you enjoy the greatest life together with the one which you really love, and may you cherish the moments spent with the person whom you are sharing your life together with. May eternal joy and abundance of love fill the home.. :) *

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 your heart
You'll find your fate is all your own creation
And 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
We've got to 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
To realize the power of the dream
To realize the power of the dream

From caterpillars to butterflies :)

Somehow I just started loving caterpillars... But one thing, I can never touch them... Aih....

U - Unique

E - Extraordinary beauty

These caterpillars teaches us that when we are young, we just simply find ourselves not great and just simply insignificant. But as we grow, God will make and mould us into something more beautiful. Someday we will be beautiful and great the way we are. God is the one who loves to make wonders, isn't it? :)

you see.. everything in this life can teach us about something.. Just look around, who knows? U might get to learn a lesson. ;)

Balik kampung, oooo, balik kampung!!!

Just got back from my hometown - Kelantan!! Ya ya ya, kampung girl I am. Haha... Well, celebrating CNY there is really quite boring, and believe it or not, I spent several hours talking to the dog, Mimi, that my cousin brother brought back together with him. But there was once where Mimi kept barking at me, no idea why, but I suppose she was jealous of my hair. ( Mimi had quite a stylish patch of fur on top of her head!! Muahahaha )

Life ain't always that boring though, because I have a young cousin brother who was really playful!! He took a rotan and hit Mimi, besides pouring a whole pot of water over her!! Poor Mimi... And guess what little Brian said when my cousin brother (Ah Fui) asked him if it really was him who did it? He said : ' The prosperity God poured water from the sky one!! ' Boy!! So young but know how to lie!! But such a lame one.. HAha... What can you expect? He is only 4 yrs old la.. Haha... Well, at least he got away with that! And a few of my other cousin brothers spent almost the whole day playing PS3 at my grandma's house.

Talking about my grandma's house, her house is seriously rumah papan. Haha.. Believe it or not, there are only 2 toilets and one shower in the whole house, and on of the toilets does not have flush!! Haha... And whenever they wanna cook for the whole big family, which can reach up to 50 people in one house, they won't use the stove, but cook using firewood!! I really admire my second eldest aunt for that!! Haha... We did had a great time eating because my aunt was really good in cooking!! Everybody loves her!! Haha... And my uncles bought beer and wine, which I did not get the chance to drink any, except the red wine. Haha...

Only on Monday there were more people in the house, so it was noisier!! But my cousin sisters and I spent the day watching Initial D which till now I still don't understand. Haha... But we did laugh a lot on certain things, which I wouldn't say what it was!! We ate and ate through the night and I was really tired by then and decided to catch some sleep early. Heh heh... I was waiting for a reply from someone too that night, but did not receive any. Trust me, my anger was pumping. Haha!!

Well, at the moment I can say this much, and I won't disclose how much angpow $$ I got. Haha... P&C ~ Muahahaha ~ Anything more, I will update later la..

Til then, toodles!!!!
