Goal

What is your goal in life? Material possessions? Friendship? Love? I am not sure anymore! I think it is important that we set the ultimate goal and the means of reaching the goal well before we set off. It's like if you think you live for money, then of course that's your goal in life. So then you probably start thinking of ways to get rich. Venturing into businesses nobody has ever step foot into before? Getting to the top in the government seats so that you can start sucking money out of the sweat and blood of the entire population? Or even considering bank robbery as an option? But it is going to be an entirely different scenario if you goal is, say, to be happy.

Chances are that even if you have a clear goal in mind, at some point in life the compass of your goal might point to another different direction, quite a far cry from what you expect! Then a whole string of changes will start surfacing, so much and so often so that you are totally lost in the middle of nowhere. It is sickening, right??

(Note: it's some crap again! You might not be able to make head or tail of what i am trying to say. if that's the case, it is perfectly ok:-)

Er...yeah...a very long way indeed! Can't imagine what it'll be like living a life trying to pursue a goal all the time without some spices of life...

"The world is beautiful, even when they are filled with sadness n tears, open your eyes. do what you wish to do, become what you want to be, make friends, don't rush, n take your time in becoming an adult."

However, I don't wanna be an adult yet, cuz as I used to say, it sounds too heavy for me, but watever... I live my life the best I can now, and even if everything won't be the best, it is still the best to me, only if you get what I meant. So Ven Ven? Go Go! =)

BarBEE: hahaha...still a little pinkie afraid of becoming an adult?lolz...well to be very frank, I dun quite like the idea of becoming a so-called "adult" yet. With adulthood comes a greater responsibility. I still wanna idle around being a happy-go-lucky type of person :-)

I have a lot of goals in my life, but the most important one is to live with all people I love. Sigh...it seems that I'll have to cross loads of sacred gates and boundaries to achieve this goal. Not sure if it's achievable coz the possibility is too tiny..

Nothing it too great or to impossible to be made possible! What it takes is just courage, determination and clear ly-defined plan...If you think youi can do it and then you set off to do it, then there should not be anything as unachievable!:-)

A stranger within YOU

Has it ever occurred to you that there is actually a stranger lurking somewhere inside you? Maybe it sounds really mental and freaking weird here. But I really can’t help brooding over this. And the more I think of it, the more it becomes crystal clear it is indeed true that a stranger is actually living my life, a stranger who has eaten up half of my real “self”, shrouding me with a totally new cover to form a person I hardly recognize. There are times when I feel really happy, but why in God’s name do I look far from happy? It is at this point that people view me in a rather negative light. Even so, the last thing I ever wish to do is, of course, to blame them. I am more than sure that they will never be able to understand me. And then there are other times when I wish more than anything to become very close to certain people. However, my attitudes towards them betray me. Nothing but coldness always hangs in the air in their presence, much to my perplexity. I remember being approa

HAPPY St. Valentine's Day!

Take a careful look around you! There might be someone in the crowd there that wishes more than anything to be noticed by you, someone that you probably knows very well but has always been taken for granted, someone that has always been standing there in your doorway, someone that has always been ready to wipe your tears, and someone that has probably shed so many tears for you without your knowledge. Such a someone deserves attention too! Happy St. Valentine's Day! Make the best out of today!

The Good Old Time (2003)

I got this pic from Mov's facebook profile. Oh man!!! This pic is almost as old as our friendship. We were small and innocent and pretty carefree back then. If i am not mistaken, the pic was taken during our field trip to the Science Center, and those so many energetic young faces you are staring at were scholars from most of the ASEAN countries. Nostalgic indeed!!! Too bad that we have lost touch for quite some time now, and i have no idea what most of them are up to now. Loads of thanks to Mov, without whom i would not have had a chance to get hold of this priceless pic. At least in those many years ahead, i have got a pic of everyone smiling at hand, to which i can always refer for recalling sake.
