While the fates permit, live happily; life speeds on with hurried step, and with winged days the wheel of the headlong year is turned.
-Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)
We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are.
-Anais Nin (1903 - 1977)
Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none.
-Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)
A week left to raya.Looks like some of us will be laying low this time.Why should I be complaing when most people won't be celebrating with their loved ones right?
For now I hope everyone's puasa is still going smooth.Fast well while it last.Salam=)

Uncertainty
The beauty of uncertainty is that it motivates us to seek certainty. We are compelled to replace doubt with conviction, to replace confusion with clarity, to be more fearful of old ideas instead of new ones. Nothing is more disparaged than the person who is lost, hesitant, and anxious. Yet the true path to fulfillment comes from these conditions. Uncertainty becomes truly beautiful when connected with the certainty that there is a better life beyond the life that is known. The artist, scientist, entrepreneur, athlete, and traveller: all embrace uncertainty as their muse. What is going to happen next is more enticing than what is happening now. The thrill of anticipation, the mystery of the unknown, the open road, mistakes as portals of discovery, the inevitability of change, purpose from chaos, questions leading to answers, failure as the threshold of knowledge. All of these conditions inform the life of the adventurer, the human being who is engaged in becoming. The beauty of uncertainty is that it prepares us to embrace life in the face of death. Allows us the strength to deal with the freedom to choose. To willingly exchange the fear of uncertainty for the security of certainty is to admit defeat. To surrender to the fear of actually living your life. Nothing moves forward except by the craving to seek certainty from uncertainty.

The Distance In Love Is A Difficult Thing
Caught up with an old friend recently,and she introduced this song to me.Coincidentally this song expresses how I've been feeling lately (as some of you may notice from my previous post).The people I love won't be here for a while.I feel as if i'm experiencing one of those moments where "my friends left me here to rot for the summer",only its going to be a loooong one even though it has ended.It seems like mine has just begun!*long sigh*
Someday Someday by Thirsty Merc
I know you gotta go to university and I'm just trying to make some cash to follow my dreams.
But please don't say we're too busy to give each other the time and support we need
I know we gotta work our jobs and make some money to get by in this expensive world.
Don't let that overtake the fact that before all that....

Mini Intimate Birthday Bash
K's 19th birthday celebration with some close friends in my room (had to take out the bed to keep it spacious).Felt like I was throwing a small college thanksgiving/christmas party.With just kareoke to entertain us,we still had a blast.Not to mention some inside jokes and the sarcasm shared,S nailed the final joke of the night.

Bad Dreams
I was going through a crowd of people risking their lives trying to make your celebration possible yet no matter how far i go,towards the end of the horizon,i still couldn't find you.
Images from that day keeps on playing in my head.I think of you when I drink coffee.We miss you dearly brother.

The Day That 'I Wish' Never Came
To my dearest brother.Im reminded of A whenever this song plays.
Just keep them closed,
Keep praying just keep waiting,
God I'll make them pay,
Take you back one day,
I'll end this day,
I'll splatter color on this gray,
Love is a fallen word,
And never spoken here,
Love is a fallen word,
Here in this prison,
I suffer this no longer,
I'll put an end to,
This i swear, This i swear,
The sun will shine,
This i swear, This i swear,
This i swear

A Different Goodbye
How many more goodbyes can one person take?I wish I had made you pancakes that night.You would've loved it.At least you have my last Oreo's abang.I'll miss barging in your room with out any purpose just to see how you're doing.It's NOT FAIR you had to go.
Great friends are leaving soon too.
But this is a nightmare!
