Block, Jump, Kick!

Last weekend, like always, twas a last minute plan. Thursday the idea popped up out of nowhere and Saturday morning, we were in the car uphill. Twas great, getting away from the heat of the city for a while. Family outings like this, although short, it brings a lot of enlightenment and joy. Twas all I needed. :)

Since I am so free, I thought I'll make some digital collages, instead of uploading the photos one by one. It saves time too I think, maybe not. Too many options kills me.

The few 'decent' snaps of us.

It's rare you can see such variety of flowers here. I'm glad I snapped them all.

Sadly, I can only name one. ROSES. :D

What else do you do in a cold place like that. Food! ;)

The guy I met at the tea plantation, signboards, somebody's giant antic shoes, peace sign coated with glove, lonely leaf flowing down the waterfall stream, beautiful lamp, 'ichigo', a kid playing in the super cold water, naked!

Feel like I'm in a Bollywood scene :D.

Peace, love and understanding y'll. 

It's a dark night on the west coast

Then a soft breeze as the sun rose

Then the phone rang like a gunshot

Like a siren on the beach rock

I'm the kind of person who blinds out the words in a song and just absorbs the melody by default. Maybe that's why when I like a song, it stays that way for a very very long time. By listening to its melody, rhythm and emotions packed densely in the rise and fall of the soulful voice, you could clearly tell what's behind those soothing vibrations. Only then, I listen closely to the lyrics and finally get the whole magnificent picture of the story. Most of the time, I don't bother doing that. Everybody interprets things differently, has their own beautiful imaginations, relates to and confront things in their own one-of-a-kind way. There's no right or wrong. All you need is an open mind, a light heart and all your senses functioning as one.

Everyone's special and beautiful in their own ways. Let's not let anyone temper with that. I may have made tonnes of mistakes, been as clueless and ignorant as a tree, but all that only makes me human, no.. And I will learn from there. 'Cause it's grace to keep trying. I don't know why I'm saying this. Perhaps it's been a long day. A great day, a wonderful outing with those whom I've had a splendid time with and learnt so much from. :')

I wish you'd hold me when I turn my back

The less I give, the more I get back

Oh your hands can heal, your hands can bruise

I don't have a choice, but I'd still choose you

Oh I don't love you, but I always will

Poison & Wine - The Civil Wars

Nights amigos.

i can hover.

It's amazing getting to know the lives of awesome people who go around the world doing what they love, meeting fans, eating exotic food, well basically just living life to the best they can. I don't mind living as Gary Lightbody :). 

me i mainly just try and get a laugh but then that has always been both my default setting and my problem.

Peace, love and understanding to all.

Clarence's, tomorrow.

Some people say, focus on one thing and only one at a time and work super hard towards it. 

She's got tickets to her own show

But nobody wants to go

And I'm stuck sitting in the front row

I'm singing along like there's no tomorrow

Tickets - Maroon 5

It's exactly one year today. How have you been up there. Everything's fine here. I know you're watching from above. We all miss you very much too. See you soon.

Isn't it crazy, to feel so much, too much at a time that you can't even tell what you're feeling. That's when an open ear comes to play. Slowly when you begin putting your thoughts into words that your mind starts to see things clearer. Sometimes, not clear enough. What is the point of being able to read but not interpret those bunch of words. Nothing. What is the use of being able to hear but not understand what message those waves are conveying. Not much. And what is the purpose of feeling when you can't pass it on to the one you love. It's like having a letter but no pigeons to fly it to where it's supposed to be.

Anywho, what's there to complain about when all you need is given and blessed to the brim. Don't wait till you lose something to appreciate it. And me, I need to apply what I wisely let slip out of my system every single time. I'm really grateful to him for everything. Really. Great Friday and weekend with the family and friends, amigos. :)

Broken Bottles Form A Star

I've been dreading to blog cause I know, once I'm at this page, my mind will go blank and my fingers will start dancing over these squarish, alphabet-labelled thingy with the intention of baring my heart and backfiring the initial plan made by Mr. Mind. It happens to others too I'm sure, but I don't know, I don't feel comfortable typing out every single thing that I'm going through here.

It's about a month now I'm enjoying my break and homework-free lifestyle. And I've got to say, having spent so much time alone at home, you really can't help it but to feel lonely and isolated. It's like you could even hear the pumping sound of your own breathing, the pounding of your blood when it hits the wall of your heart and veins and the voice of your mind speaking out every time it has an opinion. It really makes you think and more substantially, hear what YOU are saying.

I just realised I've been blogging for years, with the same link address. Back then, the purpose was simple; to let people whom you want them to 'stalk' you know what are your interests and personalities like. Slowly as I 'mature', I began to complain, crap, gossip, and emo my heart out here. So unhealthy. I thought of stopping. Then I thought, maybe there's still someone out there who is still following up on me. I don't know, maybe the future me? It's silly but a tinge of false hope won't hurt, will it. Certain things are meant to be the same for a long long time. There's no point trying to meddle with it. It is written with ink, can't be erased.

Perhaps years from now I'll look back and laugh at myself. I definitely will haha. Happy midweek =). 

Did some baking. And stacking. :)

My new hobby. 

Pants

Happy Joo-lai!
