To Loaf or not to Loaf

Today my calender says

"It is better to have loafed and lost than never to have loafed at all."

This should be on my calender everyday. :D This is greed for sure but sometimes I can't help but wonder what's all the fuss about. What's all the madness for? Yesterday my colleague told me that she has so many deadlines to meet... another said that she has missed all her deadlines... but she's still alive.

So... the rule of thumb... we do what we can... as long as no one dies along the way??? What a loafly idea.

Optimism and Realism

I realise whenever someone tells me about his/her problem or whatever that is troubling him/her, I do tend to "make light" of the issue. It isn't that I don't regard the feelings nor that I discount the person's concerns... It is just that I do want to consciously give an alternative side to any situations.

Very often when we approached a dark tunnel of our lives, don't we all want to know that there will be light at the end of it? Don't we all want to still have hope in the moments of despair? I like to give an optimistic view to things. Not that I am not perturb by issues, in fact they do affect me a lot, but I believe in focussing on what can be done... what else can be done. Dwelling on what cannot be done would only dampen and dishearten the soul... well at least in my opinion.

Perhaps in some sense, I am not recognising the reality of it all.... but so many times people have risen to the occasion because they still have a sense of idealism in them, still believe in their passion and dreams... when reality had shown otherwise.

*Never wanted to post a song on my blog, couldn't understand why anyone would want to do that... Until I heard this song... Then I understood... It is one of those songs that you just can't resist... well... I just can't resist*



The skies are not as blue, when you're not with me
The stars, they never seem to shine as bright
And the hours crack like days across the ages
And a year or two pass by with every night
It makes me know if I should ever leave this world before you do
When you follow you must promise, cross your heart and promise to


Find me...look hard,
and don't stop,
I'll be waiting 'till then
Don't sleep, don't eat
'till I'm back, back in your arms again
I don't wanna have to spend all my forever without you.
Just knowing that you're out there somewhere too.
So darlin...
please I'm begging you on bended knee...
Find me...


I've tried to tell this world how much I love you.
But they don't understand how deep it goes
And I can't even find the words to tell you
So I'm the only one who really knows
And though we have our times together, I am always wanting more
So if we get separated won't you do just like before and


Find me...look hard
and don't stop,
I'll be waiting 'till then
Don't sleep, don't eat
'till I'm back, back in your arms again
Through a hundred million faces you will see me shining through.
'Cause I'll glow when you come close , I always do.
So darlin'
please I'm begging you on bended knee...
We can share our love through all eternity
'Cause with you is all I ever wanna be......
Find me

Photo memories

I chanced upon some old photos as I was clearing my drawers. They brought back memories of the times we shared. I also realised that I have not seen some of my friends for the longest time. Of course, the photos had "cruelly" shown the slimmer and younger side of everyone of us.

Photographs are incredible. They captured that part of the memory that we may have tossed to a corner... forgotten and overlooked.... As our paths diverged and possibly never meet again, we have these photos to remind us that we had once at some point touched each other's lives and left footprints in our hearts.
