You're The Inspiration by Chicago

You're The Inspiration by Chicago
Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsdepot.com/chicago/youre-the-inspiration.html

You know our love was meant to be
The kind of love to last forever
And I want you here with me
From tonight until the end of time

You should know
Everywhere I go
Always on my mind
In my heart
In my soul
Baby

You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me saying
"No one needs you more than I need you"

And I know (And I know)
Yes I know that it's plain to see
So in love when we're together
Now I know (Now I know)
That I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time

You should know (Yes, you need to know )
Everywhere I go
You're always on my mind
You're in my heart
In my soul

You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me saying
"No one needs you more than I need you"

(No one needs you more than I)
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me saying
"No one needs you more than I need you"
(No one needs you more)
You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration

When you love somebody
'Til the end of time
When you love somebody
Always on my mind / No one needs you more than I
When you love somebody
'Til the end of time
When you love somebody
Always on my mind / No on needs you more than I

Memoria in aeterna - 17072012

How does it feel when you wake up suddenly, in the middle of the night, reminded of the things which remain unsaid. Things left unheard. Experiences which will never be shared physically. Moment of triumph can only be accompanied by prayers in the heart. Smile which will never be seen or touch which will never be felt ever again. Caresses missed. Laughter gone.

How bad would you feel if you kept thinking of all the good times, and at the same time, being reminded of the time when you bypassed those you love for vanity's sake. For a simple reason of "I just want to be alone?" Would you feel trapped in between the contrasting emotion roller-coaster for now or eternity until you've exhaled your last breath?

My eyes water and my heart feels the sorrow when I read the following passage:

For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6 KJV)

However, the memory lives on in me. Good or bad, happy or sad, step by step I'll have to walk on. Every little bits and pieces of memory to be used and reused till it's time for me to leave this world.

Welcome back... To myself :-)

I’ve stopped blogging for so long that I thought I’ve lost my touch.. not the physical touch but the writing capability and being witty about it.
I’m not particularly sure why I stopped in the first place.
One thing's for sure, various circumstances came along, thus the long lag and not to mention, lack of motivation to continue posting new entries into the blog itself.

Anyway, this will be my maiden post after such a long break. So I would like to make this blog entry a meaningful one.
What is more meaningful than posting a book which is dear to me.. the kind of book that can evoke thoughts and provoke imaginations with its tantalizing details and juicy insight into an ancient culture that is more cultured than the westerners when they’re waist deep in the Dark Medieval Ages.
Ok, now that’s a mouthful. Luckily those are my thoughts and not me pronouncing them with my mouthful of buns plus my customary 3 espresso shots sans sugar and creamer (just a start mind you).
BUT… I shall not divulge the title as of now as I need to gather my thoughts and wittiness which I’ve lost along the way.
Do keep yourself posted :-)

Ps: welcome back to myself :-P

The Star newspaper - Opinion Section - Spirit of 1 Malaysia

YESTERDAY, I was "a" (missing from the published version) witness to yet another example of 1Malaysia in its true form.

A Chinese man, who is a stroke sufferer, was crossing a busy road and there to help him was a young Malay man, guiding him with one hand, and with the other raised to stop the busy oncoming traffic.
After they had crossed the road safely, they parted ways with smiles and no doubt, with satisfaction in their heart.

This is the real embodiment of 1Malaysia. We help each other in times of need and adversity; oblivious to skin colour or ethnicity.

We only see a fellow man or woman in need and we extend our hand without fear or favour.
In fact, 1Malaysia is a concept which we can see in the most unlikely places and situations.
Thus, we are indeed very lucky to be able to experience all these in a lovely country called Malaysia.

CIPLAK,

Penang.

ORIGINAL VERSION

Today I bear witness of yet another spirit of 1 Malaysia in it's true form. A Chinese man, who is a stroke sufferer trying to cross a busy road. Guiding him with one hand, and another raised to stop the busy oncoming traffic is a young Malay guy.
After they have crossed the road safely, they parted way with smile on their face and no doubt, with satisfaction in their heart.
This is the real embodiment of 1 Malaysia. We help each other in time of need and adversity; oblivious to skin colour or ethnicity. We only see a fellow men or women in need and we extended it impartially without any fear or favour. In fact, 1 Malaysia is a concept which we can see at the most unlikely places and situations. Thus, we are indeed very lucky to be able to experience all these in a lovely country called Malaysia.
