Re-blog

Jimmy had a beautiful face and was a great athlete. Sportsman-model criteria. He was a good guy. He was rich but he always donated some of his assets to the community who were in need. He loved charity. He loved his parents too. But somehow this guy had his ego weighing as much as an Olympic gold. Jimmy's hobby was car racing .

Two years ago,on a Friday night, he took his passion too far. ( to be fair it was his ego.) Jimmy saw how is friends sped around and displaying fancy tricks with their cars. He wanted to give it a try. Much of it was due to the bet he had with his friends. Now Jimmy wasn't going to step down from a bet. He never did once in his life. Everything changed when he lost control and slammed his car against an incoming truck. His face was crushed against the front mirror and broke most of his bones in his face. On the outside, his face seems almost perfect with just slight bruises which would heal in a a week time. His girlfriend Janice was shocked to discover that he couldn't even hold a smirk when she tried to communicate with him. Stunned. Doctors said they were 30% sure of getting the bones fixed back in place. But couldn't promise that he would be able to mimic normal human expressions ever again. Jimmy of course was flabbergasted. His whole life was depended on that face of his. His face was his source fame and fortune. Now it's all gone.

Jimmy was paralysed ( his face ). He was similar to a stroke patient. He lost everything in his life. His car, house, and even his girlfriend Janice. Jimmy went to a beach just behind the housing area he used to live in. He sat there for hours and hours contemplating on what had he done to deserve all this. He contributed to charity and he never committed crimes nor was he unfaithful to his girlfriend. After a long time of soul searching he finally realized that this calamity was the consequence of his own actions.

He was too self possessed with his ego. He was placing too much importance on his ego. In short, he didn't appreciate what he had. His life was good. But he always wanted more and there goes his life. Self destruction.

Jimmy had to live the rest of his life with his broken face and the insecurity he had to face in public. But soon as he got the courage to face the public with his so called " ugly" appearance, he was shocked to discover that people actually like what is inside of you. Jimmy was always a down to earth and self reflecting person. And they really do like him for his attitude. Of course there were people who kept a distance from him because of his appearance, but people with wisdom and kindness were getting close to him. They loved him. He fell in love with Jane. A hugely successful businesswoman. Jane said he fell in love with his courage to admit his mistakes and move on with life. Jimmy is now working as a volunteer in Uganda. It's a project he and his wife Jane works on. He travels all around the world helping poverty stricken children suffering from deathly diseases. Jimmy said he was happy and the happiness he felt was the same as the one he owned previously.

Jimmy broke his face. It didn't change anything. The truth is , nothing really changed. He was still the same Jimmy inside. His heart never turned away from love and compassion.

Bits Of Life

Enjoy the little things.
One of the rules that you would know if you guys have watched Zombieland (or the trailer). I've always been a believer of the little things. The ignored , so called useless and insignificant formalities in life. People tend to look at the bigger picture all the time. Where have they stopped and looked around them and enjoy these little stuff ?
The reason I emphasize so much on them is the fact that they play a huge part in our lives ( at least it does in my life ). These little things in life make or break you. It's true for me.
24 hours a day in your life. How much time have you taken of your busy schedule of pursuing fame and fortune to spend quality time with your family ? How frequent have you actually sit down and have nice deep talks with your family members ? If that picture is still too big , lets' scale it down somemore. Many things that happen everyday in our life as a family but we simply do not realize it. When your mom or dad cooks for a meal for you , have you ever wondered why they do that and how are they actually feeling ? What we care is the taste of the food and we make piercing comments about it. Do we actually know the figurative meaning behind it ? When they cook for you or they nag about the same old thing everyday , it's a way of saying I love you to you. These things go unnoticed as it is so common...
An athlete would like the best sports equipment he could get to maximise his performance. He would like the best tracksuit and best shoes. But for me , at the end of the day it is still the training and match day mentality that matters. Many of them tend to think that if they miss a day of training it's fine but it actually affects your overall performance. Being not well prepared moments right before a competition is the worst thing you can do. In short , never take anything for granted and be complacent.
In a relationship ( common not love ) , simple acts you do everyday may just be the deciding factor in the happiness of a relationship. Simple " please " and " thank you " are the magic words you should be able to spurt out to everyone. Doesn't sound extremely effective as a a good way to earn your friends trust compared to buying them luxurious stuff isn't it ? xp But in the long run , you might just make more friends than foes. Communication is vitally important. It's more than remembering anniversaries and birthday. It's making them feel special even though it's just an ordinary day.
This Christmas , look back and reminisce at this whole year. What have you brought to people around you ? What have you brought to yourself ? Sometimes , identifying and appreciating those little happenings in life might just be the solution to solving the puzzle to form that bigger picture. Engaging in the process of forming the bigger picture is more important than jumping straight to that picture itself.
Have a blessed Christmas. =)

Tear Down The Walls


My heart is given to you .
Oh do give me yours..
We'll lock them up together ,
And throw away the key.

But now my heart is shattered into pieces ,
And you're giving it back to me ,
I am trying to mend those scars on it ,
And give it to another person when it heals.

Breathe And Let Go

Anything that takes place in our life , there are sure to be regrets. Whether they are moments of joy or tragedies , regrets come in all sizes. We always think we can do better in any way somehow. To prevent a disaster from happening or satisfying our own greed. ( already sufficient needs ) The fact is most of the time , there is nothing else that can be done when these circumstances arise. Regrets makes us aware that we are imperfect and life itself is imperfect. Tells us that fighting till the end has got to end at one point. That point is where we realize that nothing lasts forever.

Tragedies. We loathe it a lot. Always wondering how life would turn out to be in heaven. There is no doubt that the real life sucks. People die , they leave , and some of them hide. But if you dig down deep , you'll find a silver lining. Take in the good memories with you and make them let you see that there is something left in life worth remembering. That you had great days with people you love. We always learn something. Always.

Grief. It's like the ocean , deep , dark and all around us. The pain that arises from it is like a thief in the night. Selfish and heartless , taking away everything that was precious to you. At the end of the day , we're confused and feel senseless. We try to seek clarity in every way possible. Sometimes , trying to believe that something like that shouldn't had happen. We shouldn't act like that. Life is too short to be miserable. Have your own desired faith that things will turn out fine. It leads to hope. When you're having a hard time , remember that there are people around you. They love you. They want to go through this together with you. It's subtle to say that you're selfish if you don't share your ups and downs with these people. I think it's quite true.

Everyone is equally important. They may not mean anything to you but they could mean a lot to someone. A person will always be loved by somebody. He or she could be a son / daughter , father / mother , brother / sister , friend , lover , leader of a country , a classmate and even you yourself. There are people who don't even love themselves. Every person deserves to be loved and to be given a second chance in life. And when it comes , grab it.

" He who does not grieve , does not see. "


Translated by a friend of mine. =)

在我们的一生里,总有一些让我们遗憾的事。不管是喜或悲,大大小小的遗憾。我们总认为我们可以做的更好,在防止灾难或者满足自己的欲望。事实是,在这些灾难发生时,我们什么事都不能做。遗憾让我们发现人是不完美的,这也告诉我们奋斗到最后还是得结束,这让我们知道没有事是一辈子的。
悲剧。是让人憎恨的。常常想像在天堂是什么样的。不能质问的,人身就是那么恶劣。生老病死甚至逃避都是必竟之路。把美好的回忆永远放在心里的某一出好让你觉得人生还是美好的。在这些回忆里,我们一定能学到东西,一定。
悲痛,像一片深不见底的海。它夺走一切对你珍贵的事物。最总,我们彷徨无助。我们常常寻找事情的真相。人生短暂到不应许我们痛苦。相信自己的信念吧。它走向希望。当你遇到困难是,想想你并不是孤军奋战的,身边总有人支持你,爱你。可以这么说,是自私的如果你不分享。
全部人都是同等重要的。可能他们对你没有任何意义,不过要记得,别人可能很需要他们。一个人总会被某人所爱。他或她可能是一位儿子,女儿,父亲,母亲,哥哥妹妹,朋友,爱人,国家的领导者,同学甚至你自己。每个人都有权被爱和赐于第二次机会。当机会来了,就紧紧的把握吧。
“他,是不悲痛,眼不见”

Will Malaysia be in a dire state again ? Will we be under the '' Supernatural " colonization? Then we'll be under curfew , Alien Style.. =p

See You Cry

I look into your eyes and I knew that I was yours forever,
You caught me in the eye barely I could breathe,
I tried to escape but you caught me tangled in your arms,
Your sincerity kept me blushing,
In this recession I could barely survive,
I knew I shouldn't be here with you right now,

When the sun shines brightly on your side,
Or when the raindrops crawl slowly into your mind,
It'll be..a hell of a day,
I can't stop helping seeing you and your imaginary friends,
Walking down the alley of evil dreamland,
Going through heartbreaks,
And I would always peek
To catch a glimpse
To see you cry

Those tears you have are meant for someone,
I tried to think it was me,
But it ain't gonna happen,
People like me are just meant to go wasted,
Leaving all the crap behind,
Wishing you were here by my side,
How silly was I,

When the sun shines brightly on your side,
Or when the raindrops crawl slowly into your mind,
It'll be..a hell of a day,
Is it true that you were what your neighbours said ?
Cheating on their men,
And grabbing their money,
I couldn't care less,
At the end of the day,
All I want to do is see you cry,
Again..

For He Understands

One single moment, he stares into her,
Her vivid image captured in his eyes,
A simple smile,a a smirk, bring joy into his life,
All i wish for thee is plain happiness,
Not eternal, not forever, just now,
So that no reminiscing back, instead of enjoying it now

For The First Time

Ever felt terrified like you when were going to have your first public speech on stage?

Or when you were about to have your first injection?

Ever felt excited like when you were going on your first date?

Or when your first child was about to be born in a matter of seconds?


Well,that's what I'm feeling right now..

Can't get it out of my mind..
It's stuck.. >.<

Love Is A Four Letter Word

Dad slammed his fork and spoon on the dining table and said , “Could you at least tell me what happened?’’ There wasn’t any answer from me . Frankly speaking,I didn’t know what the answer should be. Dad had been meeting my school counselor for the fourth time in two weeks. I had been in trouble for skipping classes and scribbling on the walls of the school corridor. They assume it as vandalism. I say it’s art . This problem had been going on and off for almost 10 years now,getting even worse as time passes.

Mom was busy washing the plates after dinner and little sister was watching the evening news. She was always considered the smart one even at only eight years old. I was toying with my mini Rubik cube in my room alone. The floor was full with scrunched paper balls. I always drew in solitary every now and then. It gives me a sense of satisfaction. Mom was standing at the side of the bedroom door. I could hear her helpless sigh, “ What are we going to do with this boy?’’ I wasn’t sure what to do with myself either. It’s just out of my control. They just never understood my needs.

The next day in school was as dull as ever for me. Classes and lessons weren’t a bothering factor for me as a student. I was always considered obnoxious. “Chuck’s weird.” “He’s retarded and he does silly things that we normal people don’t do.” “Don’t go near him.” That was what I heard and what they said every time classmates saw me. Autism has always been a condition that has yet to be accepted publicly in majority. On top of that, my condition was much more severe. During recess,I was busy drawing on my artwork paper. It was a picture of a baby sparrow cuddling into its mother’s wings in their nest on top of a tree. All of a sudden,a sweet voice came through my ears. “ That’s a very nice picture you’ve got there.” I just stared blankly into her dark warm eyes. “ I am the new art teacher here, Miss Petunia.” “What’s your name?” She didn’t get the answer she wanted. There was a moment silence there. She broke it by saying, “Would you like me to submit your artwork for the annual Young Creative Artists competition?” I paused for a moment and continued drawing ignoring her completely.

Miss Petunia decided to send my artwork in and tell my parents about my participation in the competition. “Are you sure about this Miss Petunia?” Dad wasn’t a great admirer of my artwork. So was Mom. All they knew was how to get the latest updates about the stock market and cracking their heads in preparing proposals for the next meeting at work. “Trust me, Mr. Edmonton.Your son is really talented and he has the potential to scale greater heights.” “I think his artwork doesn’t make any sense to me.” , dad replied. As Miss Petunia was about to continue convincing him,my little sister Sarah broke out in silence and said “I like Chuck’s work.” Miss Petunia winked at her. “Why don’t we give him a try? We’ve got nothing to lose.”,said Miss Petunia. “Yeah.Just give Chucky a chance this time Eric.We have never gave him many lifetime opportunities before this.”,said Mom. “ Allright then.”,dad grumbled. Miss Petunia was delighted with their decision. So was I. She registered my name under the lower form category,which was for boys and girls of 13 to 15 years of age.

It was a week before the dateline of the competition. Miss Petunia always gave me words of encouragement every time she saw me drawing. She was patient enough to withstand my insecure and unpredictable attitude. That night,Miss Petunia managed to persuade me to stay at her house for dinner. After dinner,she suggested that I should get a shower first before I continued on producing my artwork for the competition. She decided to listen to some classical music to relax herself after a tiresome day of work. Suddenly,the phone rang. Miss Petunia picked it up.There was chills rushing through my veins. “ Let us get to the hospital now!”,she yelled. She urged me to quickly put on my clothes and we rushed to the hospital immediately. The nurse from the hospital had called to inform that my parents were involved in a car accident. Sarah had told her to inform Miss Petunia. Dad was minorly bruised but mom was hurt badly. She was in the emergency room when we reached there. “Your mom wanted to get to the stationary shop to get you some new art materials for your competition.” “We were caught in heavy traffic and she sped.” “She was so excited that she took her eyes of the road for a while and….” “Now she is in the emergency room just because of your stupid competition!”, dad releasing his anger with all his might and punching his fist towards the wall.

After almost 4 hours of anxious waiting,the surgeon came out of the emergency room. “She’s going to be in coma for a few days.” “She should be awake after a few days.” Dad was relieved to hear that. We went in and visited mom. When Miss Petunia was about to leave,she suggested that I should stay with her these few days until mom wakes up.After four days, Mom woke up and it was a joyful moment for dad and Sarah at that time. “Where is Chucky?”,she asked. “He’s with Miss Petunia. Don’t worry. I’m glad you’re fine”,dad said. “I am thankful to God because He gave me another shot at living. I haven’t heard him say it .I’ve been waiting all this while.” “ Who? What is it?”,dad answered curiously. “Chucky. I want to hear him say….I love you.” Tears rolled down her cheeks.

Miss Petunia visited mom the next day. She brought along my artwork that I had finished the night before.”It’s beautiful.”,said mom and dad. ‘And look at that .”said Sarah pointing towards the bottom part of the picture. Written there ,
I LOVE YOU.
