The past weeks have been a upheaval of happiness from my beloved.. improving by leaps and bounds... all it requires is a little more thought and some love with a pinch of salt....... :D
And the week started back at a old place... of follow ups back to haunt... yet with an old face of familarity... with that aroma of freshly ground coffee from spinelli's.. all on the house....
The week is gonna end with blissful get togethers........... and a tender farewell........... of a dear friend... she's off to another land.......... of new oppotunities and beginnings.. I'm gonna miss ya Gie!!
With "Xiao Pang"... high pitch singalongs... and his cutesy smile......... holding him in my arms... makes my world a brighter place...
I'm happy things are moving along as they are now.... a balance of both highs and lows... sprinkled with friendship, love and fondness.......

There is no problem too big...
when you put your heart to it.....
And when you know that God has it all
Planned
Holding it in His hands....

Whines.. moans.. complains or laments
About work, love, play & life
We're all standing amidst our
Quaterlife....
Expectations paced against the stresses
of everyday livin'
Choices spatter our decision plates
of insatiable appetite....
We want, we need, we think we deserve it
all at the mercy of one another...
As we tread lightly on shallow waters...
A strain of dispair, discouragement & disappointment
stains our clear white pillar of confidence
As we fight each step of growth of advancement
We cling to necessity to work, to strive
for that one single dream of
5 Cs, balanced life and wholesome family
Nothin's Gd Enuff...
as daily toil erodes
the already faded future of
what we intend to be...
My friends all we have
is to count on each other to
make each day a little
brighter & more liveable..
As we find meaning in this existence
of passing this phrase of uncertainty
Cos we're never alone...
Just woven together in our hearts
by this bond...
Walking hand in hand
down the yellow brick road...
This is dedicated to all my friends who are dry in the spirit, who are lost in their lives, who are discouraged in love.. Just want to say you're not alone... and to hold comfort in the knowing that we can all pull thru this together!!

I'm starting to realised alot of things about life... like how we can't always pre-empt all situations
or how others respond to us... but I always tell myself that...
No matter wat I do.. I just need to do it from the heart... at times it's a tough call... when you're exposed to such vulnerability...
Some i've spoken words of humility.. plucking up every ounce of courage.. putting down my pride.. inspired by the messaged of "Forgiveness" preached... & I'm glad I did...
Others i've let them go... cos some things are better left unsaid...
This week has been draining.. now down and out with flu and cough... all raved up to go party previous night.. only to be weathered down with tissues and cough drops...
However, today was a rare opportunity to learn from hotel chef... to master the art of culinary... preparing the dishes which includes the "tempura", "tom yam soup" and "chilli crabs"... One day I shall cook for my beloved.. and that'll be from my heart too.. cos as u know cooking is not my speciality... :P
I want to thank God from my heart.. for this life, this love, this air I breathe... of freedom.. of happiness.. of peace to know that He loves me too... :D

Bleak darkness glares back at me
At night in the starry sky
A single star shinning
tides each from both sides
A forged closeness of unity
A certain kind of emptiness
left standing alone and unfilled
yielding out in the blistering cold
Like a diamond
which doesn't shine
A sea without
its cool calm breeze
A portrait of colours
of black, white & grey
A world of dark mistique
of a future unkown
It weighs down on one's shoulders
As tears poured without
a care, a gentle touch, or grace
curled up in bed
another sleepless night
the soul fights
One sided efforts of
heartfelt thots, acts & gifts
Greeted with the slient cold
quietness of appreciation
While the earth moves
still in motion
with the raging of wars
both spiritual & physical
My life standstills against
petty insignificance
As it struggles to acknowledge
my hopelessness
Cos of ignorance, insensitivity,
lack of words, reciprocration
an inability to comprehend
the truth from perception
I flee from confrontation
it being the only solution?
its painful ways only
digs my wounds deeper
I could only hum a little prayer
for some light, love,
wisdom & grace
Like no other
