Dirimu...

Dirimulah yang kucinta

Dirimulah yang kupuja

Dirimulah yang di minda

Dari pagi hingga ke senja

Tika kurasa payah durjana

Tika di hati tidur tak lena

Hanya terbayang senyuman saja

Siapatah tidak iakan pesona?

Matamu bagai emas permata

Mulutmu pula sekuntum mawar

Wajahmu cantik tidak terkata

Kiranya lain semuanya tawar

Manislah sungguh tawaanmu

Menerangkan hari yang suram

Elegan sungguh tuturanmu

Alam kan jadi kian tenteram

I wrote this when i was half-asleep, and didn't really realize till now!!! Sometimes I scare myself...

Oh, and I wonder... Who was I referring to??? Now i'm REALLY scared... :(

MAL

:-P

Kosong...

You know those times where there's a HUGE EMPTINESS in between stuff?


















































































Or people?



































































Yup, just like that...



MAL
:-P

P/S : If u're thinking "Awww... Dis guy's saying he's lonely!!!" Nah, sorry, I just ain't :) And nope, i'm not in denial!!! No way, no way!!! :P

No regrets!!!

Many things in life we do...

Many things we know we should do...

Many things in life we wonder if we should do...

Many things in life we guess we should do...

Many things in life could have done...

Many things in life we wonder if we could have done...

Many things in life guess we could have done...

Many things in life we would have done...

Many things in life we wonder if we would have done...

Many things in life we guess we would have done...

But one thing i've learnt... Never live life with regrets...

Yes, we might've done something wrong...

Look at the past as a mirror...

Only by looking at the past can we move forward towards a better future...

Live life as if every second counts...

Because it does...

Life's not really all that long...

It's not really worth getting stressed up over matters...

If something happens, it happens, no?

And if it doesn't, well...

God knows, does he not?

My whole life in in Your hands, Father... You have planned out my life and You know what and when, or if something is meant to happen... Father you love me and You care for me... Help me Father to love those around me and to care for them, so that they can feel the love that You have never withheld from me... Help me Father to always look to You for guidance and never stand in my own power, for there is none that is mine alone... Be with me Father, and I thank You that You always are! Thanks Father!!! I know that You will answer this prayer of mine Father, for I ask this in Jesus' name... AMEN!!! 

In any case guys, just wanna say thanks for a great (albeit single) :P Valentine's Day, and thanks for those who brightened my day, those i'd seen and those i'd not... I bet you guys shared the same fun?

Next time we go to Ah Tan's house, everybody goes, okay? :P

(Oh and i can NEARLY play the drums lolz!!!)

I'd Rather...

I'd rather

• You happy and me sad
• You strong and me weak
• You glad and me upset
• You comfortable and me uncomfortable
• You at peace and me at war
• You well and me ill
• You joyful and me mournful
• You blessed and me woeful
• You alive and me dead
• You unscathed and me wounded
• You soaring and me crawling
• You be loved and me, hated
• You blest and me cursed
• You sitting and me standing
• You laughing and me weeping
• You smiling and me frowning
• You be calm and me, tossed
• You be warm and me, in frost
• You in spring and me, in fall
• You stand tall, and me be small
• You run free and me chained be
• You love and me resent
• You the best and me the worst
• You cheered and me booed
• You built and me destroyed
• You rooted and me sinking
• You be you and me be me!!!
  

'Cause after all, you are my friend, my dearest friend... A sacrifice as such would never cost, or feel like it costs as much... Making you smile, seeing you happy would more than repay for anything done against me...

Wow, a sacrificial love...

Cool...

P/S: Friends, thanks for always being there for me, if you're reading this and think that you're a friend, then yup, this one's probably for you!!! :-)

It Is Well...

Well, I guess it's only fair that I write another post, after leaving the blogging scene for sooooooo long... Sorry guys but i've been terribly busy with lots and lots of work... Anyway, let me share something with all of you...

There's a song, one written a long time ago, one that has kept me going on, one that has always helped me when I feel like the whole world is going against me...

And so, here goes!!!

It Is Well with My Soul

Horatio G. Spafford 

1. When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,   when sorrows like sea billows roll;   whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,   It is well, it is well with my soul.  

Refrain:  It is well with my soul,   it is well, it is well with my soul.   

2. Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,   let this blest assurance control,   that Christ has regarded my helpless estate,   and hath shed his own blood for my soul.   (Refrain)   

3. My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!   My sin, not in part but the whole,   is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,   praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!   (Refrain)   

4. And, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,   the clouds be rolled back as a scroll;   the trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,   even so, it is well with my soul.   (Refrain) 

This song here, like any other good song, has a real interesting history, one worth sharing with all of you... 

Horatio Gates Spafford (October 20, 1828 - October 16, 1888), was  a successful lawyer and a man who was involved and maintained a keen interest in christian activities, yet some thing happened to him that I, personally, am not sure if i'd ever be able to withstand...

1. In 1870, his only son (Horatio Jr.) died of hayfever at the age of 4

2. In 1871, the Great Chicago Fire (he was a prominent lawyer there) swept through the city and destroyed almost everything he owned. (He also invested heavily in the city's real estate)

3. In 1873, Horatio decides his family should go for a holiday in Europe, and decides to send them on their way to England (he was delayed by business), while crossing the Atlantic, their ship Ville Du Havre gets involved in an accident, all four of Horatio's daughters die.

4. Anna Spafford (Horatio's wife) sends a telegram from England beginning with two words "saved alone..." Spafford rushed to England, and when crossing the place where his children died, the captain called Horatio to his cabin and told him that they were doing so. It was during this time when Horatio wrote the words to the song...

Amazing how strong some people can be, even in the worst of conditions... Anyway, one thing I do know, if anything happens, I  should still be able to say "It is well with my soul..."

Father, help me to be strong, to be able to always realize that my life is in Your hands, and that in all things Father, You work for the good of those who love You and are called according to Your purpose... Help me to be strong and help all my friends, family and people I know to depend and trust in You in all circumstances... Your will be done in my life, Father, for all this I pray in Jesus' name...

Amen...

Perfection...

Ahhhhh, perfection... The very word that describes something that everybody aims for... Or do they?

Amazing what sense some anime characters can tell you... I never thought much of perfection except something which (almost) everybody aims and strives to be... Until i heard this...

Mayuri Kurotsuchi on Perfection
"There is no such thing as perfect in this world.
That may sound cliché, but it is the truth. The average person admires perfection and seeks to obtain it.
But what is the point in achieving perfection?
There is none. Nothing. Not a single thing.

I loathe perfection!
If something is perfect, then there is nothing left. There is no room for imagination.
No place left for a person to gain additional knowlege or abilities.
Do you know what that means?
For scientists such as ourselves, perfection only brings despair.
It is our job to create things more wonderful than anything before them, but never obtain perfection.
A scientist must be a person who finds ecstasy while suffering from that antinomy.

In short, the moment that foolishness [claiming perfection] left your mouth and reached my ears, you had already lost.
Of course, that is assuming you are a scientist.

Wow... I couldn't agree more...

Think about it... What's the point of being perfect? I'm not sure what to say, and I have to admit, it's quite a weird thing to tell someone "I never want to be perfect"...

Well, maybe society's perception of "perfection" might actually differ from one person to another, but still, what's the point of being perfect? It's like... There's no chance to get better after that...

Wow... Maybe Ah Ben or Ah Dave might wanna try doing literary criticism on this speech ya?

In terms of Calculus, I believe we should create a continuous graph, one approaching the limit of "perfect" but never actually touching it...

Oh man, what am I saying laaaa?!?!

I believe perfection is something unacheiveable, still, what's to stop us from trying?

Me? I'm content in trying to be all that I can be... :)

Oh, and for those who might be wondering, Mayuri Kurotsuchi is the 12th squad captain of Soul Society in Bleach, or else the Mad Scientist in the anime (and also my favourite character!!!)

Weird-looking guy? I know... But then again, Einstien looked weird... :P

So, for all you guys and girls out there, don't ever worry about not being perfect, nor about not achieving what society expects you to... And for not being perfect, sorry, but that's who I am... And i'm proud of it!!!

Oh P/S: Happy CNY guys n gals!!! Xing Nian Kuai Le, Gong Xi Fa Cai, San Yin Fai Lo, etc etc etc... You can send your angpaus to me via post, courier, poslaju, and so on... :P

LOVE???

Ahh... Finally back online...

So many things to write about, so little time...

Sorry about the looooooooong delay between the posts, it's just that i've been kinda busy with applications, catching up with Calculus, homework, one thing or another this past week or so, it's a miracle that i've lasted thus far, and managed to finish my homework with some spare time to blog today!!! :)

So, what should I blog about??? Hmmm... Lemme see...

I've been holding this idea for about a week now, so I guess it's high time I get on to writing it... Lets talk about a subject everyone LOVEs hearing about... A subject so LOVEly, deadly, powerful and mysterious... A subject not about cLOVErs and bees, rather about LOVErs and trees... (OK, i admit, that was a little bit of an overkill...) Yup, you got it... It's...

LOVE!!!

Okay, so now you go "Alright Malcolm, I got it... so what about love? What can YOU of all people tell me about it???" Well then, the answer is...

Well... A little, I guess :-P

Anyway, here goes!!!

What do you think of love? What IS love? Is it that strange feeling of butterflies in the stomach? (Err... Don't think i'd like to imagine that...) Is it just... Well... "Aiyah, you noe laaaaa!!! I love you you love me... Simple laaaa!!! Like dat oso dunno!!!"

Well, love, to me, is different... Of course this as usual comes with a bible verse...

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8Love never fails.

True love, as the good book says, is patient, kind, and so on...

Most people seem to mistake love simply for a different kind of love, one that says "I love you BECAUSE you did this..." or "I love you BECAUSE you did that..."

I believe true love says "I love you DESPITE of whatever you do, and will CONTINUE to love you anyway"...

Coming to college and leaving home was kind of an eye-opener for me... I remember days when I used to get into quarrels with koko or girlie, or upset mummy or daddy... I remember how i'd think that i'm always right, even after i'd apologize, but most of all I remember how we'd forgive each other and live on, as sunfall came... Love keeps no record of wrongs... Beautiful advice from mum and dad : NEVER LET THE SUN GO DOWN IN YOUR ANGER...

I recall days when I sat alone in college and a friend would pass by and say "HI!!!", teaching me friendship, showing me love in their own way... I remember days when, waiting for the bus alone, a friend would pop up and wait with me... I still see times when... Greeted by a smile, my gloomy day would be cheerful, dark clouds would part and make way for the sunlight!!! Truly, if love shown in friends spin the world round, i'm so blest to have a rather fast spinning world! :)

You know, come to think of it, I understand now why I am asked to "Love your neighbour as yourself" and "Love your enemies"... If everyone shows love to one another, i'd bet the world would be a much safer, cozier and more comfortable place to live in...

Why, you ask? You REALLY think it'll work?

I know it will...

Here's why...

LOVE NEVER FAILS!!!
