_____im no longer behind u...*

Saturday, July 10, 2004

16 years, 2 months and 8 days have passed. This is how long i have lived in this world. thOugh my life has frequent uPs and dOwns, it is a life that i have learned to savour and taste ---- in the end, bitterness is removed while sweetness lingers on, filling the air with fragrance. every breath i take it maKes me feel fortunate. i am glad i am pink in health [thOugh i am fat]. i am glad i have quite a happY family with a lOvable, caring mOm. thOugh my siblings tend to get oN my nerves, they also play a huge rOle in my life. they make me smile, make me laugh and make me cry. numerous expressions are evoked out of me by them, they definitely vivified my life in a way or anOther. =)

as lOng as my heart beats, as long as i can see, as long as i can feel, as long as i can listen, as long as i can smell, as long as i can taste, i would want to contribute to this world in many ways.

=::I want to be a passenger train, one that is able to convey people of all walks of life to their destiny, to their goals and to their world of happiness. As i go round, i want to meet more friends, pick them up and know them, understand them.::=

this world is dynamic----ever changing---- and wad can we do besides deploying a coherent approach to embrace the changes? we just have to accept changes in life, be self- adapted and be conscious of what is going on. in this way, yOu will forever be satisfied. rendering a helping hand to a friend when in need, makes ones world more colourful, and you urself will feel that there is more meaning to life.

i have a few circles of friends. they have allowed me to know myself better and allowed me to sieve out the negative aspects in me. i mix around with different ppl... yuPZ.. everybody is different and unique in a different and interesting way. the results of socialising with different ppl, i manage to see different things in life.
whether is it sweet or bitter, i am oredi moulded to who am i.

the soi-disant 'paradise' truly exists when one knows how to go on with life despite failures and rugged terrains. yUpz.. one has to be acquaint with 'rugged terrains' one faces in life and walk on. iTs just like walking down a rAinbOw, whereby the end of the jouRney is a pOt of shimmering gOld. in life, the pOt of gOld is akin to mirth.

liFe is full of exuberance! all of us are still in the stage of germinating like a seedling. we need warmth, moisture and essential nutrients to keep us going.
Frigid the wind maybe, friable the soil may be, frangible the life may be, we must never be held back by anything... we must brace ourselves against all odds that erect out of our pathway.

+ when you feel down, take a stroll in the park, and let the light breeze pamper you+
+ when you feel hopeless, take a look at the night sky, the stars will give you hopes+
+ when you feel stupid, take a break from work, and scream out of your lungs the magical words 'i am not stupid!'+
+ when you feel bOred, take a walk on the white and sandy beach, and listen to the waves that crushes on the shores, they do tell you something+
+ when you feel sad, take a look a those less fortunate, and think of thOse kids in africa etc, and you will knOw what is 'being fortunate.+

be sated with ur fate, but improve whenever u have the space!~

Life is here forever and a day.
It may leave a burden or debt for one to pay.
Lost without love nowhere to be found.
I find myself searching for a soul mate all around.
Once found, no longer lost.
Life has already taken a large cost.
No matter what you will forever be in my heart.
If our love stands to be true not even life can tear us apart.
