falling skies
RestlessBeings.org
So I live my life, count my blessings everyday,
And that's all I can do... Anyway..
It was another day; work, bringing the dog out for a walk, dinner, watching The Nanny re-runs on the tele, chilling out, oh, and news. The usual, scandal, money, and politics. And a question was posed to me, "Why do you want to stay here?".
Everyday in and out, I hear nothing but complaints. About how screwed up our government is, how this race is like that, and this and it's a never ending ordeal. And that got me thinking as I ask myself, "What am I doing here?"
I don't know how I got here today; looking back to the days where I was an idealistic individual- the one with great ideas based on what seems to be right, great values, and principles. I was once an individual who is easily angered by the wrong doings- "Who does he think he is?" "What's wrong with the world?", you get the drift.
"Go explore, don't confine yourself; find a better future". The statement doesn't click with me. Don't get me wrong, I do believe in adventures, and looking for a better future. Today, I realized your future is not out there. Your future begins in you. within you. Not somewhere, or anywhere, but from you.
"Get out of this country, you will find opportunities out there". Well, the younger me would have agreed 100% with you, but now, I find myself rooted in these grounds, and I know the grass ALWAYS seems greener on the other side. You think you found the way out by fleeing your roots, but you find yourself constantly searching for yourself. Now, who are you really?
"This is home" Three simple words that echoed in my heart. I have huge dreams, and I do want to materialize those, but this is where I belong. I have never felt more right about my feelings when I repeat those three words.

Almost Famous
On a backdated trip to Penang, specifically during the Chinese New Year, while we were on the ferry; not one, but two unmistakably loud explosion came from nowhere. It definitely wasn't the festive fire crackers; more like Pearl Habour- on a smaller scale. And, needless to say, it caught everyone's attention.


Natural activity, maybe not. I wanted to submit to the national paper, maybe RM50 wouldn't be that bad of an addition to my (halved) angpow this year. Due to my infamous procrastination, case in point, this post, of course I didn't submit it.
Just though this would make a good submission on my post- mainly because I have absolutely ran out of ideas.

Fortunately, no one had to use [pic] it as a lifesaver.

[nostalgic] we have the most fun as kids on fun rides like these.

And Penang Bridge is still as grandeur as ever.
To the many "almost", cheers!

i think i'm going to be okay

freeze. nobody move.
i think a train just ran through me.
you want to just stop and not breathe but the life moves like a chaotic storm. and it leaves me gasping for air but there's none because it feels like a vacuum. we have a situation here.
have you ever feel like screaming, but only to hear a sound of silence?
i think we have an emergency here. call 911.
p.s: That's what you get, by Paramore and Shake It, Metro Station.
p.p.s :: Just Dance by Lady Gaga should get more airplay! And cool remix in clubs.

dream big and grow into them
"We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true." Woodrow Wilson
