ONCE - falling slowly....

2009-06-27T15:37:00.006+08:00

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You'll make it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

love is afloat.....
just barely.....

fallen....
too late....

lose control...

2009-06-18T20:25:00.002+08:00

You don't remember my name,
I don't really care,
Can we play the game your way?
Can I really lose control?

Just once in my life,
I think it'd be nice,
Just to lose control, just once,
With all the pretty flowers in the dust,

Mary had a lamb,
His eyes black as coals,
If we play very quiet, my lamb,
Mary never has to know,

Just once in my life,
I think it'd be nice,
Just to lose control, just once

If I cut you down to a thing I can use,
I fear there will be nothing good left of you,

Ah-ah-oh-oh
Ah-ah-oh
Ah-ah-oh-oh
Ah-ah-oh

Just to lose control, just once...

youth fades;
love droops;
the leaves of friendship fall;
a mother's secret hope outlives them all.

i decided to leave office earlier coz
7-11 is my mum's BIG day
she is a vegan, and eating very simple everyday
but today we are treating her "vegetarian sharkfin soup"

missing Jamie to be a complete family portrait

youngest sis Jenny & my forever-young-looking mummy

Ma Mere...
Very simple women who works very hard to sustain family
be our bank deposit of worries and hurts
be our sponsor to fulfill our materialistic though she has none
with no high education, still she reads and tell us rights & wrongs
sincere buddhist who prays hard for family & world
be our bridge whenever we wanna to get across,
she steadied herself long enough to let us run across safely

.
...
....

she is more than enough to deserve this...

birthday present from Jamie & I

we know you wish to retire and become a full time volunteer
for charity and we are working towards it !!

11:58 pm westin S & M office

exhausted horrile look with puffy eyes & big dark circles

been insanely busy lately to meet deadlines,
attending social events to get more bizz...
I can be known as workaholic..
well in fact almost all my colleagues in my office are..
missing my family gathering,
my supposed to be diciplined daily workout,
personal dinner appointments...
even my personal emails n stuffs...
bosses came around and said " comin' , get a life !!! "
wel we know what exactly they will say if the result isn't meeting target.

time to be home.. little danny been waiting for long..

danny showing his very sleepy look....
sorry for waking you up my dear...

After long working week..

with Cassie @ Fish & Chips Bar
whining about how broke we are now,
still we got ourselves large portion of battered Fish & Chips
and not to forget glass of New Zealand white wine...

happy-go-lucky ^ ^

Cassie in her pink working shirt

She is still how she supposed to be...

in the end, its not the years in your life that count.
its the life in your years...

the effort of paying me a visit (even middle of night)

the scent of roses leads me to sweet dreams...

bon nuit

Apart from Chinese New Year, opportunity to gather as whole family is kinda slim..
when I was young, I used to hate attending large family gathering..
each of everytime I could feel the hidden inharmony and unpleasantness beneath the cover of happy family...
As time passes, I realised that

"Like all the best families, we have our share of eccentricities, of impetuous and wayward youngsters and of family disagreements"

I began to let go my frustration,
extend the forgiveness for those relatives that hurt my family behind us,
unconsciously I hope.

We don't choose our family, they are the gifts from God, as what we are to them..

Having said that, I appreciate the moments of reunion..
especially with my grandpa,the only master to hold up the family in whole.

.Fathers' day celebration.

4 fathers = 4 happy families..

In each family a story is playing itself out,
and each family's story embodies its hope and despair...

To me, family means putting our arms around each others and being there..

tears in heaven

2008-06-08T11:39:00.010+08:00

bitter-sweetness of chocolates;
chilled refreshing rebina;
full glass of milk;

I remember you, and we will.

cheers, darling.

Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven.
Would you hold my hand If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand If I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way Through night and day,
'Cause I know I just can't stay Here in heaven.
Time can bring you down,
Time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart,
Have you begging please, begging please.
Beyond the door, There's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more Tears in heaven.
Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven.

unmask

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of,
we have a special face for each friend...

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person.
Give him a mask , and he will tell you the truth...

mas in town !

2008-06-06T00:26:00.019+08:00

I purposely took a day off to accompany my beloved bro Masumi
who came back for holiday from Melbourne...

rejuvenating in fish spa ... Masumi's hairy & itchy feet...

Mas & me

Korean BBQ at Mont Kiara ...
managed to get corkage waived by mentioning KIM's friend

we are... too full to continue the meal...

supper at mamak ...
eating roti canai happily like never had one before...

wonder when will be the next time we meet...

A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity,
an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty

I believe you are the latter. ;)

see you in Melbourne, you got my word..

A drop of serein tears

2008-06-01T23:14:00.006+08:00

SEREIN is the fine rain drops after sunset in the clear sky.
It seems so invisible and disappears before you could even touch it.

Though it renewed my day with its revitalising yet misty feel.
Just like a warm smile by a stranger which brightens you up, then vanishes in air.

It is pretty common for me to be teased by fellow friends that I can barely remember anything that happened around me... places we had been, stories we had shared... Well, a lot of time I will find the missing chapters in my life... So from now on I will not let the memories fade...
Hopefully serein droplets can be the reminder for memories of the crazy moments we shared even after decades. ;)
