I wanted to delete everything but I don't<br />
have the heart to delete everything because some posts hold warm memories of why and when I wrote it. I don't even know how to delete some and retain some in a quickest way, no time to see one by one and delete it so I'll leave it as it is and maybe one fine day, I'll have a look at this one again.<br />
<br />
In the mean time, if you like to see what I write these days, head here: <a href="http://plainandpeculiarthoughts.wordpress.com/">http://plainandpeculiarthoughts.wordpress.com</a><img align="right" src="https://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n124/faraheen/sig.jpg" style="border: 0px currentColor;" />

It's new and I don't write that much but I write things from my heart. <br />

<br />
I got this from a good friend of mine. The quote is so lovely and so meaningful.<br />
We live in a different time from our ancestors. We live in a world where everything is just a status away, a tweet away, an instagram away etc. Sometimes people these days do thing with an incentive to tell the world about it. We are all guilty of it at some point.<br />
We tell the world our routine; what we eat, what we buy, why we do it etc.<br />
<br />
People could be benefited from those but sometimes it could also draw jealousy. And from there onward, things could be a bit of a mess. I guess we should always filter things that we are about to share if we can or if we want to.<br />
<br />
Going back to the quote. Some people always tell the world about the good things that they've done, about their religious routine etc. Maybe it's good to inspire people but this is an absolute reminder to all of us. We should always have good things that we do being kept as a secret between us and Allah alone. If you could do that, that's pure sincerity because you don't need to tell others to validate the good things that you had done and you don't need others to convince you of the good things that you had done. Trust me, we are just human after all. We always do this. If we don't tell the world, sometimes we tell it to our family or our best friend or a stranger or anybody else.<br />
Start count your good deeds and see if anybody else know about it. Start keeping it as a secret between you and Allah alone.<br />
<br />
The only person you should be telling is yourself so that you can always outrun yourself to be better each and every day.<br />
<br />
"Work hard in silence, let your success be all your noise"<br />

<br />
I'm afraid I don't have enough time to catch up with Euro. I'm working right now and it's certainly different when I was a student.<br />
<br />
Few years back, I wouldn't mind to sleep for 2-3 hours before heading to my classes in the early morning. Yeah you know, we don't have to be in campus like 8-9 hours straight. There are few gaps in between, you can take a catnap.<br />
<br />
But as of now, I need at least 5-6 hours sound sleep for me to muster enough energy to work tomorrow. And how in the world will I be able to catch Euro without the need to worry about my performance during work?<br />
<br />
Hiyya. National problem..!!!<br />
<br />
I guess I just have to sacrifice a lil' bit. It's either to sacrifice my energy or sacrifice my need.<br />
<br />
Sacrifice my energy in the sense that I'll watch the match for sure but I have to keep up my energy level for work as well. Drink some energy drink etc cause I can't drink Nescafe. My poor body rejected caffeine.<br />
<br />
Sacrifice my need in the sense that I'll just pretend Euro is not happening right now which is so difficult for me! I don't have to watch the match if it's on weekdays. All I need to do is just to keep myself updated with the scores. Still, it's a tough job for me.<br />
<br />
I wonder if we are growing old and older, do we sacrifice our interest to fit with our age?<br />
<br />
When we were kids, we were playing with dolls, tamiya, legos etc and somehow when we reached puberty, we stopped playing.<br />
<br />
I mean like when I reach 35-40 y/o, do I still watch football or the interest will fade as the time goes by?<br />
<br />
I wonder and keep wondering.<br />
<br />
But one thing for sure, people keep changing. Our brain is developing. <br />
<br />
Few years back
I would have never imagined to be doing what I do now. I would have never like things that I like now.<br />
<br />
Same goes with technologies. It keeps surprising us. Almost everything is going digital nowadays. <br />
<br />
Smart phone with a data connection is now a necessity. People created the necessity.<br />
<br />
In the future, there's always something to surprise you or even to drive you. You just have no idea how to handle it yet. Let's wait and observe the changes we create. ;)<br />
<br />

<br />
And time machine is a good alternative too.<br />
<br />
Anyhow, I've been working for almost a month now. I like my work even though sometimes I'm tired but at this moment, I like it.<br />
<br />
I never thought I need to do some coding but yeah, my SV asked me to write some codes. It's a good thing because I don't have to totally abandon programming thingy.<br />
<br />
One thing for sure, working life and student's life is certainly different.<br />
<br />
I kinda miss my student's life. But who am I kidding, we're aging forward not backward.<br />
<br />
I wish I could be like Button if you know what I mean.<br />
<br />
Lots of things have changed these days.<br />
<br />
People say "With great power comes great responsibility"<br />
<br />
and I believe 'with great age comes great responsibility' too.<br />
<br />
At this age, you see life in a different perspective.<br />
<br />
Responsibilities tag along for sure!<br />
<br />
And somehow at some point, you laugh at the thought of being the younger YOU.<br />
<br />
How you were so silly back then. How you were so naive back then. How you were so defiant back then.<br />
<br />
But eventually you still have a long way to go.

<br />
<br />
Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Moms in the world especially my Mom.<br />
<br />
<br />
She's indeed my superhero cause she's a superwoman in our house. <span class="st"> ♥ </span><br />
<br />
<span class="st">Without her, I'd be nothing. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="st">May Allah bless her in this life and hereafter. </span><br />
Anyhow my birthday happened to fall on Mother's Day. *Clap clap clap* <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I'm not in the pink of health.<br />
<br />
I've got a bad fever, flu and severe sore throat. It's been 4 days.<br />
<br />
I'm on the mend now.<br />
<br />
But my sore throat keeps getting worse like I have a frog stuck in my throat.<br />
<br />
Severe sore throat comes with a bad coughing and flu. ;'(<br />
<br />
I've finished taking my meds but to no avail. <br />
<br />
I hope I'll get better soon.<br />
<br />
Anyway, regardless of me being off color, I'm still beyond happy to celebrate my birthday and Mother's day.<br />
<br />
Alhamdulillah, my life has been great so far. I thank Allah for His innumerable blessings. <br />
<br />
I've graduated and now I'm working as an engineer.<br />
<br />
I hope my choice to decline an offer to further my studies is a good one. They offered me quite a huge amount of scholarship to support my studies but I had to turn it down due to some reasons.<br />
<br />
I believe everything happens for a reason. <br />
<br />
I'm happy for now. I guess it's telling me something. ;)<br />
<br />
A happy toast to myself..!!<br />
<br />
Here's to the successful years ahead <br />
<img align="right" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n124/faraheen/sig.jpg" style="border: 0;" />whibleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06746715139563164917noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4087071974617530760.post-10374959933947583042012-05-12T15:26:00.000+08:002012-05-13T09:52:04.366+08:00Of being a little too niceOccasionally, have you ever felt like you're being a little too nice or too kind?<br />
<br />
I do.<br />
<br />
And sometimes it felt like your kindness has been abused.<br />
<br />
You know, like we can simply let things to slide because it's a small matter.<br />
<br />
But somehow, the other party usually are seeing things with half-closed eyes. They tend to let things to slide as well.<br />
<br />
Some of them are being inconsiderate that they don't value much of your effort to care for them. <br />
<br />
But I guess it goes with experiences.<br />
<br />
You have to experience the situation for you to be reminded.<br />
<br />
Otherwise, your heart is still blind. And you'll never be aware of the risk of hurting others.<br />
<br />
Such a sad world.<br />
<br />
Even so, there's no concrete reason for us, for me to stop being nice.<br />
<br />
Be nice even if you might exhaust yourself. <br />
<img align="right" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n124/faraheen/sig.jpg" style="border: 0;" />whibleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06746715139563164917noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4087071974617530760.post-12256243747254023582012-05-06T23:48:00.000+08:002012-05-06T23:48:44.769+08:00New Beginning "Make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things
which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too
hesitant to attempt.<br />
<br />
So many people live within unhappy circumstances
and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because
they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and
conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in
reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man
than a secure future.<br />
<br />
The very basic core of a man's living spirit is
his passion for adventure.<br />
<br />
The joy of life comes from our encounters
with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an
endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different
sun.<br />
<br />
If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination
for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that
will at first appear to you to be crazy.<br />
<br />
But once you become accustomed
to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty."
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="background-color: white; color: purple;">—Jon Krakauer (Into the Wild) </span></b><br />
<br />
“The majority of people have successfully alienated themselves from
change;<br />
they tediously arrange their lives into a familiar pattern, they
give themselves to normalcy, they are proud if they are able to follow
in auspicious footsteps set before them, they take pride in always
coloring inside the lines and they feel secure if they belong to a batch
of others who are like them.<br />
<br />
Now, if familiar patterns bore you, if
normalcy passes before you unnoticed, if you want to create your own
footsteps in the earth and leave your own handprints on the skies, if
you are the one who doesn't mind the lines in the coloring book as much
as others do, and perchance you do not cling to a flock for you to
identify with, then you must be ready for adversity.<br />
<br />
If you are
something extraordinary, you are going to always shock others and while
they go about existing in their mundaneness which they call success,
you're going to be flying around crazy in their skies and that scares
them.<br />
<br />
People are afraid of change, afraid of being different, afraid of
doing things and thinking things that aren't a part of their
checkerboard game of a life. They only know the pieces and the moves in
their games, and that's it.<br />
<br />
You're always going to find them in the
place that you think you're going to find them in, and every time they
think about you, you're going to give them a heart attack.”

<br />
This is actually different from Arctic Monkeys' set for Coachella.<br />

<br />
After
all these years, they still rock my socks.<br />
<br />
And this song, it never gets old. (I personally think The Bends and OK Computer are their best albums of all.)<br />
<br />
It was taken from their set in Coachella 2012.<br />
<br />
And this was the end of it.<br />
<br />
I was blown away.<br />
<br />
P/s: I heard some rumors about their upcoming album. I've listened to few tracks but I'm not quite sure. Let's just wait for it. ;)<br />

Remember this is for everybody,
<br />
The sky has never been this gorgeous, are you with me?
<br />
Hey! Welcome to the party, let’s get ourselves rise.
<br />
Show the world, how we nail it, how we roll,
<br />
Here we go!<br />
SING IT ROCK & ROLL!<br />
<br />
When all seems so dark and this is how we roll;
<br />
We’re not into perfection.
<br />
Baby let it go, this is for tonight, hey,<br />
we’ll SING IT ROCK & ROLL!<br />
<br />
They were never kings, there will never be.
<br />
This is for everyone, who have showed love.
<br />
Together, as one!
<br />
ALL RISE! ALL RISE! ALL RISE!<br />
<br />
The track of this symphony is turning me on,
<br />
Just don’t care about your problems,

Tell them we’re not scared ‘cause we’re never alone,

We’re all brothers!<br />

<br />
Say whattttttt...........???????!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
Great news indeed.<br />
<br />
I know it from Andy by which he was not really intrigued by the news. Duhh..<br />
<br />
Then ignoring him, I quickly went to read some more news about that.<br />
<br />
I feel so pumped up just by reading the news.<br />
<br />
It's not like I'm going to play with him in the team but I'm really looking forward to see him in the field donning the Arsenal jersey.<br />
<br />
Hoyeahh. Yeah you know Podolski is one of Germany's players and Germany is my 2nd choice for FIFA.<br />
<br />
Here's what he said about the deal (credit to <a href="http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/arsenal-agree-deal-for-podolski">Arsenal.com</a>):<br />
<br />
“I’m so happy to be joining Arsenal Football Club and to play in the Premier League. Arsenal is one of the top clubs in Europe with a huge history. There are many top quality players at Arsenal and the style of football which the team plays is fantastic. I’m proud to become an Arsenal player and am looking forward to playing my first match at Emirates Stadium and doing my best for all the Arsenal fans." <br />
<br />
“I am looking forward to becoming an Arsenal player, but at the moment my focus is with my current club, FC Cologne. I will give everything I have until the end of season to make sure the team finish as high as possible in the Bundesliga. There will always be a place in my heart for FC Cologne.”<br />

I would be able to repay my parents' kindness.<br />
<br />
But I just could not.<br />
<br />
I'm so grateful to my parents that I feel like I'll have a forever unsettled debt with them.<br />
<br />
I will NEVER be able to repay their kindness.<br />
<br />
Sometimes I may have taken them for granted, may have overlooked their importance but believe me, they play a major role in my life.<br />
<br />
I always need them and they're always there for me. I guess it's the same for everyone.<br />
<br />
If I ask them for some time, they always find some time to allocate for me.<br />
<br />
If I ask for some money, they always give me more than what I asked.<br />
<br />
If I ask them for support, they always offer me full-fledged support.<br />
<br />
If I ask them for some advices, they always shower me with meaningful advices.<br />
<br />
All in all, they have given their all for nothing in return but for mere happiness.<br />
<br />
I'm deeply touched and always grateful for having them. Always. <br />
<br />
I hope I'm not a burden to them cause I sure feel like one, sometimes or most of the times perhaps.<br />
<br />
I love them so much.<br />
<br />
Just feel like expressing my gratitude in here.<br />
<br />
Just because.<br />

Ugh, I cannot remember.<br />
<br />
Truth is I've watched lotsa movies but I simply don't bother to write anything about it.<br />
<br />
I even watched the much-hype movie, 'The Hunger Games' and it turned out to be weak. Forgive me, but I honestly think THG film has weak storyline, actions etc. It could have been better.<br />
<br />

<br />
Anyway, last night I went to watch my 2nd 2012 most anticipated movies, The Avengers and it was fantastic.<br />
<br />
My Mark watched it first and I couldn't just sit still.<br />
I know I was a little bit late considering almost everyone in the planet already watched the movie. Hahaha xD<br />
<br />
First thing came to my mind after I finished watching the movie was WOW.<br />
<br />
Yeah, the film wow-ed me. It didn't disappoint.<br />
<br />
I'm a huge fan of Iron Man, he's sort of like my hero. Hahaa xD<br />
<br />
I'm into superheroes.<br />
<br />
The film somehow exceeded my expectations. Can you believe it?<br />
<br />
I was enjoying every moment of the movie. Even Mark Ruffalo and Scarlett Johansson didn't disappoint. In fact, they did a good job!<br />
<br />
Oh wait, there's Cobie Smulders, she was good too.<br />
<br />
Everyone did a good job portraying the iconic character. Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark (Iron Man), Chris Evans as Steve Rogers (Captain America), Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton (Hawkeye)and just everyone.<br />
<br />
This movie is a must see!<br />
<br />
Trust me.
It's very entertaining that you wouldn't notice it actually took like 2++ hours of your time.<br />
<br />
The movie is a well-paced movie complete with marvelous actions and visual effects, injected with some funny lines, topped it with great acting and gratifying music and what else huh?<br />
<br />
What more do you expect?<br />
<br />
This is enough to blow you away. I'm still in awe.<br />
<br />
The only problem with this film is that at certain point, the aliens fest was a bit pretentious. Sort of like Green Lantern and I hate that movie. Sorry.<br />
<br />
And also some minor errors.<br />
<br />
But don't bother cause it didn't affect the movie at all. You won't even notice it anyway.<br />
<br />
If you haven't see it yet, go and run to the cinema and watch it!<br />
<br />
Vastly entertaining for superheroes fans.<br />
<br />
And still vastly entertaining for non superheroes fans.<br />
<br />
How about that?
Hahaa xD<br />
<br />
All in all, MARVEL's The Avengers is an EPIC movie!<br />
<br />
LEGEND wait-for-it DARY.<br />
<br />
My rate for the movie 4.7/5.0<br />
<br />
P/s: My 2012 most anticipated movie is The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey , it's a prequel for LOTR.<br />

has two sides; it is as well to look at both, before we commit ourselves to either" ~Aesop<br />
<br />
"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on." ~Winston Churchill<br />
<br />
<br />
Often in times, you don't get a chance to hear the other side of the story.<br />
<br />
That's when the prejudices develop. <br />
<br />
And a heart that is governed by prejudices is not reliable.<br />
<br />
It breeds hatred.<br />
<br />
But then again, how do you know which side is true when you don't even possess anything to claim the truth? <br />
<br />
Don't be so quick to judge.<br />
<br />
It's chocolate and vanilla. You'll get one flavor at a time or both at a time if you're lucky.<br />
<br />
And it still wouldn't be enough for you to abhor a notion.<br />
<br />
People always have a reason why they do what they do.<br />
<br />
You don't have to be a cat just to kill a rat.<br />
<br />
To what extent sacrifices have to be made to obtain justice?<br />
<br />
Really, To what extent?<br />
<br />
Amuse me, people! <br />
<br />
" Whatever happened to the values of humanity<br />
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality<br />
Instead of spreading love<br />
We spreading animosity<br />
Lack of understanding<br />
Leading us away from unity " (Where's The Love, BEP)<br />

<br />
It's her US debut album (She released an EP in US before).<br />
<br />
This is my favorite song from the album.<br />
<br />
People are more on Lullabies but I chose this one.<br />
<br />
Such a lovely song!<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="243" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5mr8yEmCs68" width="420"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
You got that walk walk walk<br />
Got that talk talk talk<br />
Got that swagger-er-er<br />
Such a glamor-or-or<br />
<br />
You're like a real life doll<br />
With your hand that falls<br />
Like niagara ah ahBut that don't matter-er-er <br />
<br />
Cause that don't change the fact <br />
that your heart is black<br />
<br />
Cause you can't tear me down<br />
Beat me to the ground<br />
Try to block my sunshine my blue skies with your clouds<br />
<br />
Who do you think you are<br />
Yeah that won't get you far<br />
You may think you're pretty <br />
But you'll see that beauty is a fading flower<br />
<br />
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower<br />
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower<br />
You'll only play play play<br />
If you get your way always<br />
In the center-er-er<br />
Of attentio-io-ion<br />
<br />
All the lying <br />
And the cheating<br />
The mistreating<br />
How you even sleep at ni-igh-igh-ight<br />
Blows my mi-i-i-indI wonder when you'll see<br />
but you don't bother me<br />
<br />
You can't tear me down<br />
Beat me to the ground<br />
Try to block my sunshine my blue skies with your clouds<br />
<br />
Who do you think you are<br />
Yeah that won't get you far<br />
you may think you're pretty <br />
but you'll see that beauty is a fading flower<br />
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower<br />
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower<br />
<br />
I spent all of my youth<br />
trying to be you<br />
thought that you were special<br />
that you're beautiful<br />
but the more of you I see<br />
the more I'm glad I'm me<br />
<br />
Cause you can't tear me down<br />
Beat me to the ground<br />
Trying to block my sunshine my blue skies with your clouds<br />
<br />
Who do you think you are<br />
Yeah that won't get you far<br />
you may think you're pretty <br />
but you'll see that beauty is a fading flower<br />
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower<br />
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower<br />
<br />
<br />
P/s: The song is super new, I couldn't find any lyrics for the song so here's my take on it.<br />
I couldn't finish it anyway since I'm not even sure.<br />
Even the parts I wrote are not certain.<br />
<br />
I'll change it when I get the original lyrics. :)<br />
<br />
--> Thanks to the Anon who left comment correcting my lyrics. As of now, I'm gonna stick with his/her version. Now the lyrics made sense to me. Thanks luv! :)<br />
<br />
And again, huge thanks to another Anon who left comment here. I've changed my lyrics. Thanks luv. :)<br />
<br />
--> Huge thanks to <a href="http://www.bostonsos.org/">James Cobalt </a>for correcting my lyrics. I've changes it with your version and yes, his version; it makes a lot more sense.<br />
Thanks luv. ;) <br />

<br />
I know every race has their own superstitious beliefs; usually passed by our ancestors. <br />
<br />
I don't believe this kind of thing but I do believe it somehow affects us.<br />
<br />
Yeah you know like if you broke a mirror or something, you're convinced that something bad will happen and as the day goes by, every single thing seems to be out of place. It's a mere coincidence.<br />
<br />
But people believe it's really bad luck.<br />
<br />
Like a placebo effect. <br />
<br />
It's only a mind trick.<br />
<br />
And today, my mind plays a little trick and nah, I'm not gonna fall for it.<br />
<br />

<br />
I love Sara Bareilles and she's one of the amazing singers who would just blow you away with live performances.<br />
<br />
I've always love this song and I love the lyrics as well esp this part:<br />
<br />
"Stealing gold from the silver they see, but it's not me"<br />

<br />
Well I love them and I didn't know they released a new EP up till today. <br />
<br />
I was watching Yuna's US debut album preview by Perez Hilton in Youtube and I stumbled upon the preview of Hit Me Like A Man by The Pretty Reckless.<br />
<br />
Taylor is just freaking amazing especially live. I wrote about her before. <br />
<br />
She has this amazing voice.<br />
<br />
I've listened to the whole EP and it's pretty rad..!!<br />
<br />
I love Under The Water and Cold-Blooded.<br />
<br />
I think The Pretty Reckless is underrated. Come on, this is such a good band.<br />
<br />
But then again, people don't really like this kind of music.<br />
<br />
I love them anyway. I just have a slight problem with her racy image. Other than that, I'm fine with it.<br />
<br />
I even love their cover version of Like A Stone (Audioslave), Aerials (SOAD), Wonderwall (Oasis), and Seven Nation Army (The White Stripes). <br />
<br />
I'm a bit bias knowing the fact that they have covered most of my favorite songs. Hahaa<br />

And here's one of my fav songs:<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Lz-c3lPe8l4" width="420"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
I felt it, the wire touched my neck<br />
And then someone pulled it tighter<br />
I never saw it coming,<br />
I started to black out and<br />
Then someone said good morning<br />
I took it as a warning
I should have seen it coming<br />
So now I'll take a chance on<br />
<br />
This thing we may have started<br />
Intentional or not, I don't think we saw it coming<br />
It's all adding up to something<br />
That asks for some involvement<br />
That ask for our commitment<br />
I think I see it coming<br />
If we step out of that limb<br />
<br />
My heartbeat beats me senselessly<br />
Why's everything got to be so intense with me<br />
I'm trying to handle all this unpredictability<br />
In all probability<br />
It's a long shot, but I say why not<br />
If I say forget it, I know that I'll regret it<br />
It's a long shot just to beat these odds<br />
The chance is we won't make it<br />
But I know if I don't take it, there's no chance<br />
'Cause you're the best I got<br />
So take a long shot<br />
<br />
I realize that there is all this doubting<br />
Things we're both scared about <br />
That we'll never see them coming<br />
Throw caution to the wind<br />
And we'll see which way it's blowing<br />
And into this fully knowing<br />
We'll never see it coming<br />
Until it's much too close to stop<br />
<br />
My heartbeat beats me senselessly<br />
Why's everything got to be so intense with me<br />
I'm trying to handle all this unpredictability<br />
In all probability<br />
It's a long shot, but I say why not<br />
If I say forget it, I know that I'll regret it<br />
It's a long shot just to beat these odds<br />
The chance is we won't make it<br />
But I know if I don't take it, there's no chance<br />
'Cause you're the best I got<br />
So take a long shot<br />
<br />
Oh I waited for fact to come to fiction<br />
And you fit my description<br />
I never saw you coming<br />
But we'll make it<br />
<br />
It's a long shot, but I say why not<br />
If I say forget it, I know that I'll regret it<br />
It's a long shot just to beat these odds<br />
The chance is we won't make it<br />
But I know if I don't take it, there's no chance<br />
'Cause you're the best I got<br />
So take a long shot<br />
<br />
There's no chance, there's no chance<br />
'Cause you're the best I got<br />
It's a long shot but I say why not<br />
If I say forget it I know that I'll regret it<br />
It's a long shot just to beat these odds<br />
The chance is we won't make it<br />
But I know if I don't take it<br />
It's a long shot but I say why not<br />
Oh you never saw me coming<br />

<br />
Do you have this?
Hahaa<br />
<br />
I'm not quite sure but as of now, I'm having second thoughts and it's irritating because you know you could do nothing to turn back time.<br />
<br />
It's a bad habit though.<br />
<br />
It's like why would you muse over something in the past?<br />
<br />
Haishh..<br />
<br />
I really hope I've made a good decision because I'm certain that it was not merely forced by desperation.<br />
<br />
Cause you know sometimes when you're in a particular situation where you have limited choices or rather non-existence time/preference to weigh the option, you just sorta choose whatever comes in your mind or sometimes it was solely based on instinct whatsoever.<br />
<br />
Oh wait, I don't want to be convinced otherwise. Please kill the thoughts.<br />
<br />
Well now that I'm out of the cocoon I really hope, things will gradually get better. Soon. InsyaAllah.<br />
<br />
I don't know what's ahead of me but I hope I'm able to embrace it with a smile; new opportunities, new challenges, new environment, new changes and everything.<br />
<br />
Let's just face the real world. Holla!!<br />
<br />
God, I feel old and matured somehow.<br />
<br />
Hahaha. JK.

Follow through<br />
Make your dreams come true<br />
Don't give up the fight<br />
You will be alright<br />
Cause there's no one like you in the universe<br />
Don't be afraid<br />
What your mind conceives<br />
You should make a stand<br />
Stand up for what you believe<br />
And tonight<br />
We can truly say<br />
Together we're invincible<br />
<br />
During the struggle<br />
They will pull us down<br />
But please, please<br />
Lets use this chance<br />
To turn things around<br />
And tonight<br />
We can truly say<br />
Together we're invincible<br />
<br />
Do it on your own<br />
It makes no difference to me<br />
What you leave behind<br />
What you choose to be<br />
And whatever they say<br />
Your souls unbreakable<br />
<br />
During the struggle<br />
They will pull us down<br />
But please, please<br />
Let use this chance<br />
To turn things around<br />
And tonight<br />
We can truly say<br />
Together we're invincible<br />
Together we're invincible<br />
<br />
During the struggle<br />
They will pull us down<br />
Please, please
Let use this chance<br />
To turn things around<br />
And tonight<br />
We can truly say<br />
<br />
Together we're invincible<br />
Together we're invincible<br />

<br />
People who don’t give a hoot to say thank you, to smile or to just care for little things in life.<br />
<br />
Call me lame for having such an ancient mind; I do believe people should do it more often in daily life.<br />
<br />
What is it about ego that can’t be hindered?<br />
<br />
What is it about winning side that can’t be bothered by losing just a little bit?<br />
<br />
Just a little bit wouldn’t hurt, mind you.
I always find it’s nice for people to<br />
say thank you.
A simple thank you note would suffice.<br />
At least, to some people it is.<br />
<br />
People actually have the effort to help you, to send you great wishes, to lend you things, to care for you and etc.<br />
<br />
What’s so hard to utter the words of gratitude?
It could brighten someone’s day. You’ll never know.<br />
<br />
I don't know but I'm just really into people who practice common courtesies, proper etiquette etc. <br />
<br />
Good to know my Mark feel the same way. Hahaa.<br />
<br />
P/s: Being dorky on the other hand is different with ill-mannered people.<br />
