Sometimes...

Sometimes there are times when things just don't fall into Place... Right now, i'm thinking ...pondering... About not achieving what I really yearned for... Nothing can turn back the clocks... Enough said, it was my fault for not Digesting the advice & warnings and acting on it..
Anger,frustration... Not today....not today... Keep calm, stay optimistic... Learn from your mistakes... Enough regret, look forward...

31st August 2008

What first pops into your mind when Malaysia comes into question?

Our Beloved Flag?

Remember Cikgu Chai teaching us batik during Art class?haha...those were the fun(lazy) high sch periods...

yum....
Roti canai at Cilipadi, perhaps?

How i miss nasi lemak...the sambal, the deep fried fish, the roasted & fried peanuts & ikan bilis...

The iconic KL Twin Towers?

lols...*

merdeka in Kch was just about having an extra day off from sch..

here in Melbourne...Malaysians actually celebrate what we neglect back home..
Clubbin', a potluck, going to the Fiesta Malaysia at Fed Square this Sunday perhaps?

Music, Malaysian traditional products on sale...(sumtimes the supposedly "malaysian-made" products on sale could be just "Made in China" =p) but i heard...that there wasn't gonna be any Msian food on sale (at all) at Fed Square??? smtg bout not being able to get the permits and stuff...

so not Msian...

The independence of your country of birth...where you spent the last 17 years relishing the peace and prosperity of this nation...leeches as we are, we take this relatively crisis-free country for granted...Just insulting/mocking whatever form of patriotism that comes our way because well...it's "uncool" or "weird"...

Malaysia...despite its government's (sadly) declining competency, my heart still belongs to my home...my Malaysia...

what does 31st of August actually MEAN to you?

Bitter...

"I wondered what happened when you offered yourself to someone, and they opened you, only to discover you were not the gift they expected and they had to smile and nod and say thank you all the same."

~Jodi Picoult - My Sister's Keeper

Sweet..

"Once in second grade, Kate drew a picture of a firefighter with a halo above his helmet. She told her class that I would only be allowed to go to Heaven, because if i went to Hell, I'd put out all the fires."

~Jodi Picoult - My Sister's Keeper

only human

A squirrel in the tree is he watching me
Does he give a damn?
Does he care who I am?
I'm just a man, is that all I am
Are my manners misinterpreted words or only human?
I'm human

Murderous crow, hey what you know
What you reading about, what you hold in your toes
Is that a twig, are you a dove of peace
A black dove undercover, with another puzzle piece
Are you a riddle to solve all along?
Or am I over thinking thoughts of human after all

Only human
Made of flesh, made of sand, made of you and me
The planet's talking about a revolution
The natural laws ain't got no constitution
They've got a right to live their own life
But we keep paving over paradise

`Cause we're only human
Yes we are, only human
If it's our only excuse do you think we'll keep on being only human
Yes we are, yes we are
Only human, only human, only human
So far

Up in the major's tree, the one he planted back when he was just a boy
Thinking 1923
Thirty meters and a foot, take a look, take a climb
What you'll find is the product of a seed
The seed is sown, all alone
It grows above, with a heart of love
Sharp and shelter of the animals of land and cold weather breathing
We're all breathing in

The planet's talking about a revolution
The natural laws ain't got no constitution
They've got a right to live their own life
But we keep paving over paradise

`Cause we're only human
Yes we are, only human
If it's our only excuse do you think we'll keep on being only human
Yes we are, only human, only human, so far, so far

And this place it will outlive me
Before I get to heaven I'll climb that tree
And I will have to give my thanks
For giving me the branch to swing on
If I ever fall in love
I'll have to give myself a baby
I will let my children have their way

`Cause we're only human, yes we are
Only human, so far, so far
