Riding Through it All ...

The trip to KPS was exhausting but it was worth all the long drive all the way from PP! It was certainly a breather for me, giving me the chance to gasp for fresh pristine air away from the hustle and bustle of the polluted PP city life. And from this trip I learnt a touching life story and suddenly it brought back memories again! Sometimes all it takes is just a little nostalgic goodie like this story i am going to share to really knock some senses into you, to really remind you that there are so many things in your life that you should be thankful for, and to really make you realize that whining is what a baby does and that it will not bear you any fruit. Anyway, let's just skip things a bit and then move to the core part. It all stemmed from this visit of an old relative who also happened to be my dad's old co-worker. However, it had been quite a while since they last kept in touch, no thanks to the arguments they had had at the workplace. Since then less was spoken of him, ...

Happy New Year! This is my 100th entry!! And it coincides with the dawn of the year 2009. To folks out there, young and old alike, forget what should be forgotten! Smile at what should be smiled at! Laugh out loud when you should laugh out loud! Go crazy when you should go crazy! Give hugs to those you want to give but never dare to! Treasure every moment that should be treasured! Cry those tears of joy and tears of sadness if crying makes you feel better! Look back only when you need to, and move on! Most important of all, enjoy your life meaningfully!

I can cope with all the stress I am snowed under when i have something to look forward to. I can skip my three meals without whining a bit when i have something to look forward to. I can still force myself to continue the most energy-sucking journey of my life when i have something to look forward to. I can say, "I am perfectly fine" to everyone though my inside is weakened, twisted and turned when i have something to look forward to. I can bear with all the nasty things that life has to offer when i have something to look forward to. I can still smile at the sight of my world collapsing right before my eyes when i have something to look forward to. However, I can be at my very worst when i have nothing to look forward to...

Two people on a smooth country lane, Hand in hand they walk, Nothing too great to cause them pain, On and on they continue to talk. One day they reach a vast river, Seeing all the riches at the other side, Welling up is the desire to cross over, Yet the boat too small for two to ride. So the man decides to go alone, With so many promises to be kept alive, Leaving the woman in tearful moan, So grievedly yet strongly she has to srtive. Each day she waits with a heavy heart, Reminiscing haunting ghosts of memory, But her love for him grows each day of them apart, And she knows, "He always loves me!" Written by Kong Vendy:-D

Whether you think you CAN do it or you CAN'T, you are always RIGHT!!!

Be still, and know that I am God, Be still, and understand That you are Mine, and I am yours, This was forever planned. Be still, accept the Love and Light that I to you do send. Communication is the key if you and I would blend. Be still, and hear the Still Small Voice, as I provide the key That gives direction to you as you journey home to Me. Be still, so I can reach within and touch your very soul, To lead you ever onward to your spiritual goal. Be still, these words did calm the waves and cause...

Man on the mountain Struggles to reach the top, Worn, weary and tired He knows he mustn’t stop. Trying to just hold on Yet another slippery slope, Reaches out for a vine Completely woven of hope. Looking to the summit Knowing he’s almost there, Strength now renewed This victory seems so near. Reaching the heavens Standing tall upon its peak, Nothing is impossible If God’s help you truly seek.

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats left. Except for Love. Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment. When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you." Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!" "I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered. Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you." "Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!" ...

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE. They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE." The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?" The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it." LEARN ...

You brighten my day Help me choose the right way You are my friend You lend me your hand Help me understand You are my friend And when my skys Are cloudy and grey You know just what to say 'Cause we're friends Friends Forever And we're singing along yes we're friends, friends and we'll stay together I know that's how we belong You're there in good times and bad When I'm happy or sad You are my friend I depend upon you And I'll be there for you too You are my friend And when the years someday make us part ...

( The Egytian Symbol of Eternal Life) Life must be lived forward but must be understood backward. Life is sometimes anything but joy. Life is sometimes accursed. Life is sometimes unfair. And life sometimes seems unworthy. At times—on countless occasions, in fact—emotionally vulnerable as we are, we are trapped as preys to what I would like to refer to as “stupid” thoughts that increase the already-rapid pulsing of the blood vessels, and that, in turn, push us towards the very edge of our lives by creating an illusion of an “exit” to a new, worry-free world, only to discover that the door is sealed and that the only way to be “freed” is to put an end to our lives through such most self-destructive acts as suicide attempts. However, as it transpires, life is an ever-growing tree, small and fragile at first, but big and strong as time goes by. Life is, moreover, a never-ending collection of self-instructed and experiment-based lessons being compiled one after another. Life is also a piec...

Life is a rollercoaster of emotions! There are times when our emotions run high, and those are the moments we wish more than anything to just vanish into nothingness, into the world where only heart-broken souls dwell. But then of course, there are others when we feel that we are the luckiest persons on earth, and those are the moments we wish more than anything to cease time so that our loved ones would remain embraced in our arms forever. In whichever situation we are in, be ready to press the "Stop" button and weigh all the necessary considerations before jumping to whatever decisions you are going to make.

I know you guys out there are somehow being dragged down by some problems you are facing. Hope that this following reminder will keep you all awake and ready to procede on with your journey until the problems are too withered to cling onto you, and until you become the real problems winners, not because you are greater, more powerful than the problems, but because the problems quit halfway due to the fact that you are too perseverant. There are times when we all retreat into fantasies, wishing more than anything to come back to reality only to find whatever problems we have faced dissolve into nothingness without our slightest effort. But more often than not, everytime we come back, the problems do not just remain wherever they have been, but also become somewhat "bigger". Then we retreat to the world of fantasies again, and when we come back this time, the problems are at their "biggest", fullest height, way too high beyond our reach. At this very instant, we decid...

Note: i think this song is really meaningful and it, in a way, wakes me up from my haunting nightmares, and with all my heart, i hope it will perform a miracle in yours too. (Thanks so much Pheaktra for the lyrics and those encouraging words. I was once told that there are a lot of people coming into our lives, but there are just a few who leave their footprints in our hearts. And without doubt, one of them is you.) Ever Ever After Storybook endings, fairy tales coming true Deep down inside we want to believe they still do And a secret is taught, it's our favourite part of the story Let's just admit we all want to make it too Ever ever after If we just don't get it our own way Ever ever after It may only be a wish away Starting your fashion, wear your heart on your sleeve Sometimes you reach what's real just by making believe Unafraid, unashamed There is joy to be claimed in this world You even might wind up being glad to be you Ever ever after Though the world will tel...
