The Secret Life of Plants

Ever wonder how boring life must be for a plant? Suck in the same place with the same view day after day... Well not for this little adventurer who calls home the window ledge of the upper story of a 132 double-decker bus. He was my unexpected companion on my way to work. I'm truly inspired to take the hand that one is dealt and make the most of a situation.

Graphiti Art in KL

Outside the church in KL i didn't expect to see this. It was a touching sight.

I'm Sorry

I'm sorry but I'm just not ready. This has all been too fast for me. I need time and space. I'm not ready to be in this relationship.
I know your serious about your feelings ~ I dont want you to be hurt.

Focus!!!

Something I try very hard to do but no matter how hard I try...

... Curriculum writing is still boring and time consuming --> ie. WORK

But it has to be done all the same, regardless of how i feel so:

1. I will not watch youtube

2. I will not chat unnessasarily on skype or msn

3. I will not make overseas calls to my best friend

4. I will not go play with the puppies

5. I will not get sucked into watching Chinese soap operas with complicated love triangles

6. I will not look for jokes and interesting things to put on my band's webpage to entertain them

7. I will not watch the movie I just downloaded

8. I will not meet up with friends for coffee

9. I will not check my various online profiles

10. I will not blog

.... Opps

Memories

I still wear it sometimes.

Live Life ~ No Regrets

Live Life ~ No Regrets

Some people seem to think it a narrow minded way of thinking.
Some have said it’s a way of not dealing with life - of hiding or covering up mistakes.
I have been told that this notion will stop you from moving forward in life.

I beg to differ.

Saying that you live life with no regrets is not the same as not learning from mistakes.
Look back; see your life’s journey thus far, with all its twisted, broken and misguided steps, but do not dwell on it.

~ Do Not regret past mistakes or misfortunes~
ACCEPT them ~ REJOICE in them.

Fore it is only through living that we learn to better ourselves.
And life is not meant to be a smooth sailing journey over docile waters but a tough, stressful, rugged battle of rough seas.

~ That is true living. ~

Every tear is a precious living diamond freely given. Every heartbreak merely the raging fire that clears the dead and dying to prepare the heart for new birth of love, hope and joy.
I pity those that have regrets - they will never be able to move on with their lives while they dwell on their troubles.

Build a bridge ~ GET OVER IT.

Life is about contrast and what better contrast for love than having experienced hate, for joy than having experienced misery, for hope than having experienced loss.

~ Fear is born partly of regret. ~

It is being so focused on a past experience that you cannot move beyond it and therefore are not prepared to face it again and CONQUER it.
A new born child does not fear. He embraces life trusting wholly in those around him.
Do you trust all those around you? Can you honestly say you have no fears?
You are a child of the universe and within you lies limitless potential.
You hold all the secrets to the universe.

~ All the answers are given. ~

So what is to fear? That which is needed for your life is given to you and
nothing is ever given that you can’t handle.
Life is about standing at the crossroads and choosing, and the sweetest truth is that there is
no such thing as a wrong choice.
Whether or not you believe in fate, destiny or God, you have the freedom of choice.
Each choice is a step is on your journey, a brick paved on your own UNIQUE pathway, a lesson to learn from to guide you in future.
It is good to LOOK BACK at your journey so far but only to admire it, to be proud of it,
to claim it proudly as your own.
But in looking back never cease to MOVE FORWARDS.

~ Never regret. ~

Too Late for Goodbye

I'm Sorry

I just wish I understood why you care so much by what ppl say...
I was revisiting the past, came across this... "Man's Favorite Past Time"

Well regardless, sometimes it's better to wipe the slate clean

But it's too late for goodbye

Maybe It's Time

Maybe its time to start thinking about moving back.

I had a friend who would talk about "taking the jump"

Friendship is so important to me, so what am i still doing here?

Even that is gone but I'm still here, fooling myself

It's all so unknown... But then staying here is just as unknown.

I'm a coward, I can own it. I had hoped... but it doesn't look like he really cares.

When is the right time? Maybe there is no right time.

Maybe he was right and all you have to do is jump.

At least if I move back I know there will be ppl who will truly be there for me if I fall.

I don't have to fear their abandonment.

My family is all I have here or me now, but i need more.

I need friendship and i am sick of the hollow friends here.

Maybe it's time to jump

Someone Said....

"Sparks from the universe of the highest order.

Tap into the reservoir of limitless potential within.

Detach from attachment is our main disorder.

Discovering the ancient way in this new age awakening."

Through Prayer May We Recieve All That We Need

"So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

"Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"

I Remember

"Sorrento Moon (I Remember)"

I sang your praises daily
And we let ourselves get swept away
It's true baby
We held heaven in our hands for days
You wait a long time
For something wild to take you somewhere
And all I needed was to fly
It's a long way from paradise to ordinary
Picture us just smiling there, we didn't have a care

I remember, how it all came true
It was oh so tender
And I was lost with you
By the sweet sorrento moon

But the stars don't burn that brightly
Every season surely slips away
But you baby
You're the reason why I chose to stay
You wait a long time to find your dream and hold on to it
And all I needed was to fly
It's a long day from innocence to understanding
A picture of a child at play, is how I feel today

And I remember, how it all came true
It was oh so tender, and I was lost with you
By the sweet sorrento moon...
(la luna de sorrento)

Be afraid that it will never begin."

Life For Rent

I haven't really ever found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind that your heart ain't exactly breaking

It's just a thought, only a thought
But if my life is for rent and I don't lean to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

I've always thought that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone and live my life more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me

It's just a thought, only a thought
But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well how can I say I'm alive

If my life is for rent...

Temptation Visits

Temptation visited me yesterday

In the form of an unexpected message... him... It really caught me off guard. I had almost forgotten... almost.

Just when I thought I was in the clear it comes back around.

I am weak, But I don't want to be. The danger is when I start thinking... My mind plays a nasty game. My heart get caught up in the web.... So stupid. Stupid little girl...

But then I think of The Boy.

He's the voice in my head, the voice of reason. My conscience

Thank you.

I'll make you proud of me yet.
