I have learned now that while those who speak about one’s miseries usually hurt, those who keep silence hurt more.

And we continued our journey along..

To the girl that I loved the most,

this is not a colgate advert~ :-)

Ms. Shirley

she seems to be thinking about something there..

the ever famous shirley picture pose "arghh~"

photo inspired by..

an attentive reader, so it seems.. haha

choo-choo train outta the book fair~

a little stroll in the park :-)

another couples camwhore..

she has the best "turn around and snap" pose <3 td="td">

someone is very happy, I wonder why..

and so it was the grape juice~ in which I don't think is tasty..sorreyy

who says you can't be purple and gorgeous?

giving me her burung antoo look. ;-)

the girl from Impanema is walking and when she passes each one she passes goes "ahhh~"

the person I cherish the most.

thus the end of our trip that day.

Everlong

hello
I've waited here for you
everlong~
tonight I throw myself into
and out of the red
out of her head she sang
come down
and waste away with me
down with me
show how
you wanted it to be
I'm over my head
out of her head she sang
and I wonder
when I sing along with you
if everything could ever feel this real forever
if anything could ever be this good again
the only thing I'll ever ask of you
you've got to promise not to stop when I say when
breathe out so I can breathe you in
hold you in
and now I know you've always been
out of your head
out of my head I sang
and I wonder
when I sing along with you
if everything could ever feel this real forever
if anything could ever be this good again
the only thing I'll ever ask of you
you've got to promise not to stop when I say when

i hope she like the flowers that i sent her..

:-) 

There's nothing like you and I

We spent some time
Together walking
Spent some time just talking
About who we were
You held my hand so
Very tightly
And told me what we
Could be dreaming of

There's nothing like you and I
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/d_i.html ]
We spent some time
Together drinking
Spent some time just thinking
About days of joy
As our hearts started
Beating faster
I recalled your laughter
From long ago

There's nothing like you and I

We spent some time
Together crying
Spent some time just trying
To let each other go
I held your hand so
Very tightly
And told you what I would be
Dreaming of

There's nothing like you and I
So why do I even try?
There's nothing like you and I

Love Song

Whenever i'm alone with you

You make me feel
like i am home again 

Whenever i'm alone with you 

You make me feel like i am whole again

Whenever i'm alone with you 

You make me feel
like i am young again 

Whenever i'm alone with you 

You make me feel like i am fun again

However far away i will always love you 

However long i stay i will always love you 

Whatever words i say i will always love you 

i will always love you

Whenever i'm alone with you 

You make me feel
like i am free again 

Whenever i'm alone with you 

You make me feel like i am clean again

However far away i will always love you however
long i stay i will always love you whatever
words i say i will always love you

i will always love you....

Heart

my heart is cute and lovely,
so gullible yet so lively..
always  cheering me..
making me feel funny.

my heart is warm and cozy,
holding me yet so tightly..
always adoring me..
making me feel lucky.

my heart is beautiful and pretty,
trapping my gaze so deeply..
always amazes me..
like a sunset by the sea..

you are my heart Shirley.

to hold you and sleep,

as i feel your breath on me,

following the rhythm of your heartbeat.

to spend all my time with you,

together running through 

this little path in life

to be there as your anchor,

giving strength and energy

when you need it most

to hold your hand,

in the white lane of flowers

exchanging the ring of life

to say i love you,

every morning, day and night

for all the beautiful things that you've given me..

S.H.M.I.L.Y

Volunteering work.

I just heard of the most ridiculous thing today, that people actually gets charged to volunteer for NGO's-just so they can get the volunteering experience.. wow.. ahaha and according to my friend Juan, there are tons and tons of students and also people from the overseas gets charged a certain amount of money by organizations that sells these kind of  volunteering "service" it seems..

I really dont know what is going wrong nowadays...but most of the sites that we 'google online for "volunteering"-in certain countries and etc' are mostly paid sites... it seems that this "volunteering experience" selling-trend  is getting bigger and bigger... people actually have to pay to do charity? i pity those who are lost in the little road of volunteers...

Thank god SOLS 24/7 doesn't charge our volunteers... and on the contrary, volunteers are given food and accommodation as well.. Please.. if you are looking for a place to volunteer, you dont have to pay for it.. spend some extra hours online to do more research and you will be on your way to a wonderful experience by your very own hands..

Peace out to all the other volunteers of humanity out there~! and have a better day of sunshine and clouded skies :-)

:-)

a new stage

a new tone

a new birth

a new element

a new inspiration

a new picture

a new direction

a new found love

you

it is late at night (2:11 am) as i am writing this now..
even though i met you yesterday, and chilled out with you the whole day..it never stopped me from missing you at this time..i miss your existence.. your smile... your mengader-ness~ ...your care... your touch.
haha..time flies it seems..but i guess i should record our story here now and then.. i have told it once too many times to those that asked.. and yet i will never feel to bored of asking...

here goes.. 7 years ago..

a boy met a girl... a girl that he never thought that he would be able to date...and yet he still fell for her..there was something that attracts him... he dont know what..then...
~hahaha i dont know where to start!! :-)~

ok.. i was this little boy..a delinquent looking boy...a boy that smokes alot.. and one day as i was smoking in front of school, a voice caught me from the back "hey you~! dont smoke so much la.. it is very bad for you health, you know~?" and i was surprised as this girl smiled at me when i turned around..and i could see her braces shining under the sun.. "what a smile" i thought.. and i flushed red..i could feel my cheeks hot...and my lousy response that time was "oh~ ok.." hahaha ... i was a bit shy la.. but then i start noticing her alot..

i did something really stupid that time.. from that day onwards i will always sit in the exact same spot to smoke and hope to get scolded again..hope to be able to see her talk to me again.. and yeah, she did...but everytime i cant find the courage to get to know her closer.. but one fine day.. i found out that she is also part of this Nature society thing in school, and i was lucky enough to be invited to join in helping that society to paint some murals... whats best is that..she is also part of the mural project..hahaha i was so delighted.. but still i dont dare to talk to her..

but then things went pretty well and we worked on the mural together, and we even went to a trip with the society together.. and i liked her..i had a crush.. but i dare not speak or engage on it..because she was one of the famous girls in school.. and i was nothing but a normal kid.. haha

and surprisingly... we got closer towards the end of form 6.. what good timing right...... -_-"
and we started chatting and sharing and chatting and sharing..
as we tell each other about our lives.. we got closer and closer... but we remain as friends only.. i kept my distance.. and throughout these years..we both had someone else in our lives...and we both cried for them..but then again.. i never regretted going through those pains with previous companions... because it was when i's broken that she found me and fixed me up..
i was touched by her doing.. i was sad and broken and she was the only one that comforted me.. the only one that cared..the only one that understood.. the only one that chatted with me till 6.00am and i know that she have work in the morning.. but she held on...to make sure that i was alright..
after that chat with her.. i was so touched and so sad as well.. how have i missed something so great in life..how have i have once given up on someone so wonderful in life.. then only i see... that she is more important to me now..

we got closer and closer.. till one fine day.. i asked her out to catch a glimpse of the sunset in Cape Hope.... we went for a stroll in the mall for some hot chocolate..met up with a friend, then after that drove off to Cape Hope.. we walked a really really long path along the shoreline..and we just kept walking and talking.... i was just enjoying the vibe that the surrounding was giving out.. the dawn that was coming..as the final hours of the warm Sun rays were cast upon the two of us.. we kept walking..and talking about some other thing.. i was trying to find something to talk about.. until we found a nice spot to sit and as the sunset.. we had a short moment of silent in admiration of natures wonderful work of art..

it felt like forever for me.. and after the sunset.. we walked back to the car..and we sat on a bench near the place i parked. and i manage to summon my courage to tell her... but it was still a cowardly confession.." i think i am in love with you.." hahahahahaa what a loser right..i still laugh at it everytime i think of it.. :-)  but at that time she still hasn't agreed, instead she somehow rejected me.. yet surprisingly..i did not feel dissapointed somehow.. because deep down inside, i know she feels for me..for i can feel it too..but thanks for that ice-breaking confession.. we got way more closer as friends..

and as we found out more about the funny things in each other... the attraction grew, and i started to miss her alot.. and she started to miss me a lot as well.. we went out for a few times to hang out and eventually we were unofficially dating... and somehow.. we became companions now...it just came naturally.. and now i am dating her officially..for she is the greatest girl that i have ever met in my life.. yes..you truly is.. and the past 7 years was such a long ride.. but then again... worth it..for you are a close friend, a lover and a companion..
shirley..i love you.. :-) hehe.. though we have been dating for not long now.. yet it felt as though we have been dating for super long.. and i like that feeling.. that warm feeling in my chest that throbs for your appearance..
 there are more chapters to this story but i shall leave it for ourselves to treasure..

so this is it.. my very own story, that took me 7 years to write..and many many years more to complete with her..and i am signing out with a better day of sunshine and clouded skies.. :-)

i have never..

felt this strong before,

for someone..

believe so much,

in someone....

been healed so wonderfully,

by someone...

loved so deeply...

on someone...

thought i would meet...

this someone...

believed that i'm with..

this someone..

i'm signing out with a better day of sunshine and clouded skies :-) S.H.M.I.L.Y <3
