Gee.. damn I'm tired of blogging sob stories. At times when I'm feeling just good enough, the sad posts have the potential to pull me down. Last thing I want would be to dampen the mood of my friends any further, when what I need is their support to pull me up.
And I realised that indulgent moods have a tendency to go in a circle. Sometimes people just keep falling in the same hole. Really ought to slap oneself in the face for a wake up call. Why torture yourself this way?
Pain is inevitable, misery is CHOICE.
Sincerity to others is important. And so are the choices we make. To make the best decision, we have to acquire wisdom from our own experiences. Hence, each pain we go through, each challenge we meet, only serves to help us in the future. Everybody goes through different experiences, thus we make different choices given the same scenario. What's best in your opinion may not be what's best in mine. And yet our differences is what makes us so special and from each other, we learn more.
To acquire my wisdom, -my acceptance of things-, I wouldn't wish for life any other way. So bring it on and I'll brave it through. If I ever change, I promise you one thing...
I'll still love food as much. MUAHAHAHAHAHA.. (and if you accept the way I am, you'll always be my friend.)
"Chiquitita you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita"
P/S: Thank you for a wonderful dinner. In this ever-changing world, thank you for reminding me that what we share is true.

Dumbledore gay?
Link:TODAY article
Link:Detailed transcript from fansite
hmmm... I was wondering if J.K Rowling was joking. Then... the more I thought about it.. the more plausible it seemed. Dumbledore was meant to be a complicated character anyway and homosexuality gives rise to many complex issues - tolerance, values, social concerns. etc. Having said that.. it doesn't really changed my perspective or liking for the series. Love, ultimately, in whichever form, is still love. And I thought Rowling passed the startling information almost like a casual remark. So I think avid fans shouldn't read too much into it, especially if it's going to spoil the enjoyment of re-reading the books.
I'm just amused at how a supposed children's book has evolved into the story as such. The series was getting progressively darker with each book. O, the controversy this tiny piece of news is going to raise... If the books are taken off the shelves of the children's section, I'm not surprised.
Meanwhile, we should all keep an open mind and interpret the words in each lines our own way as we see like it.
Through and through, I'm still a Harry Potter fan.

the ties that bind
Qn: How many people does it take to change a punctured tyre?
Ans: Four. One worker to do the physical changing of tyre, one assistant to sort out the correct equipment to use, one instructor to tell us what to do, and one silent supporter to keep her hands clean so that she won't dirty the interior of the car while driving to the petrol kiosk.
It's interesting how 'coincidental' the tyre puncture happened.. As if some force out there wants us to come together and work things out. Really heartening during these curious times.
__________________________________________________
It's through the gravest situations where people draw closer to each other. The need to know that we are not alone, and together we'll be strong enough to brave things through. We've forgotten about the ties that bind... even though we may have taken different paths. Here, we share something in common - to grieve for another in spite of the awkward circumstances. What are the appropriate questions to ask? What's the ideal response? Small talk in effort to break the ice never felt this lame. I never had the fear of inadequacy this much before and so I have learnt to keep my silence. Just the physical prescence is enough, touch of the hand for comfort speak more than the exchange of words. Melancholic reminders of the past to tell that it has been that long and so many things have changed since... This is all too real. Life is too damn short.
In contrast.. the little nitty gritty things that's been bugging me the past few months seem so small all of a sudden... Track back to the past. To the days of innocence. I found once again the simple equation to living a happy and fulfilling life. Because love first given to me is from my parents. Because the ones I fall back on at the end of the day is my family. There's no need to butter things up... and that different perspective goes a long way. When it comes down to it (despite our many disagreements), support is always there when needed.
That, I love. =)

Wonderland
Sometimes I walk fast for fear of being left behind
Maybe I don't like the view from the back
Sometimes I walk slow to clear my mind
To make sure that I stay on track
Other times I thread the fine line
No wonder life gets in a wreck
And to live my life simply
Am I to do the mundane
I just want to be happy
Damn this drive me insane
___________________________________________________
The rock is sturdy and strong
Not swept away by waters
Stay where familiar belong
Forgo about the others
The driftwood goes with the flow
Experience turbulences
Pick up everything on tow
Risk breaking into pieces
Here I am in wonderland
Where things can't be black and white
With no idea where to stand
I hope for one to confide
________________________________________________
Under the same moon in starry skies
Brilliance of the night walks me home
I'm not afraid what the darkness lies
With great companion on the phone
P/S: I suck at rhymes.

"Often we run & hide, but it doesn’t mean that we don’t secretly hope to be found." - ...

So where's the good now?
I was good yesterday.
Who took my good away?
On date 30th September 2007:
I was happy today. I learnt to make Iced Mocha, Latte, Mini Pizza and Nacho Cheese. I served a few customers with my best and it made me glad to know they appreciated the service.
Unfortunately, happiness is short-lived. September 30th marks the last day of the F&B section of Clique just when it's my first time to be posted in there.
