Love moves in mysterious way

Who'd have thought this is how the pieces fit
You and I shouldn't even try making sense of it
I forgot how we ever came this far
I believe we had reasons but I don't know what they are
Don't blame it on my heart, oh

Cho:
Love moves in mysterious ways
It's always so surprising
When love appears over the horizon
I'll love you for the rest of my days
But still it's a mystery
How you ever came to me
Which only proves
Love moves in mysterious ways

Heaven knows love is just a chance we take
We make plans but then love demands a leap of faith
So hold me close and never never let me go
'Cos even though we think we know which way the river flows
That's not the way love goes, no

Cho:
Love moves in mysterious ways
It's always so surprising
When love appears over the horizon
I'll love you for the rest of my days
But still it's a mystery
How you ever came to me
Which only proves
Love moves in mysterious ways

Like the ticking of a clock two hearts beat as one
But I'll never understand the way it's done, oh

Cho:
Love moves in mysterious ways
It's always so surprising
When love appears over the horizon
I'll love you for the rest of my days
But still it's a mystery
How you ever came to me
Which only proves
Love moves in mysterious ways

But i believe.....

Follow my Dream, but which one?

That is the essence of the new book by Paulo Coelho entitled The Winner Stands Alone. It will soon be released in March but it is already available online for all readers all over the world. What does Paulo said about his new book?

"One of the recurrent themes of my books is the importance of paying the price of your dreams. But to what extent can our dreams be manipulated? For the past decades, we lived in a culture that privileged fame, money, power – and most of the people were led to believe that these were the real values that we should pursue".

"Yes, you may reach the goal society has fed you – but will you be satisfied? Will you be whole? Will you be in peace? This cycle of possession never ends – because the moment that you think that you have reached your goal another desire creeps in. And how can you find rest when it is the hunt that moves you?"

"....We are part of the solution, if we go back to the real values of life, being “follow your dream” the most important of all. Not the dreams of the Superclass. Not the dreams of our parents, or our partners. We should be what we always wanted to be".

You can read Paulo's full comments on his new book here

I have always been telling myself to follow my dream and pay the price of this dream. Prayer sets in almost everyday, if not in a form of a dialogue, always in a form of monologue conversation with...i guess, my own soul. Years of reading books by succesful people like Napoleon Hill, Robert Kiyosaki and Paulo himself feeds me the same pattern of how to fulfill dreams. I'm working on it or maybe i thought i'm working on it. Lately i question whether my pursuit of happiness is the right dream or am i working myself in conformance with the society which are, and always will be, fame, money and power? Maybe i'm not but will my desire be eaten as such? Definitely looking forward to reading this new book. Fiction yet based on real issues which i believe will give it a new perspective.

- a book does not change a person, but it provokes thoughts and action -

That's it, I had enough!

I wish i can say that to my boss but who will pay my salary after that? I am sooo bored here in Sandakan..oh i know, i can resign from my job and be jobless for a period of time. What would it feels like hmmmm...My parents will be furious but that's if i stay with them. If i stay by myself, then it would pretty much cost me some $$ right..If i stay with friends, they would run away from me ahah..What if i go to NZ and work my butt off the way i can't even imagined or maybe it will turn out to be something good. God please help me! Give me your strong sign i mean strong sign that i should leave, Amen.

There you go, i posted something...lol ;-p

Like The Flowing Waterpipe

Didn't want to copy Paulo but can't think of any other better topic than that. It's not the exact copy but it is the exact thought of mine. Here i am in KK just landed 1 hour ago from Sandakan. Just hang out in Starbucks first, having an ice blended that i've been thinking since a week ago.
Oh no calories really goin to shoot up this week since i'll be in KK for the whole week. Food in KK are just fabulous, ironically the fabs ones are those of high cal and low vitamins hah! But i read from Mike Geary's e-zine this week that hi cals and hi sugar food are fine for hi-intensity exercise such as futsal, basketball, sprint running, hill running, football dan yang sewaktu dengannya. Because it gives us the appropriate energy to move around. So the conclusion is the more we eat, the more we MUST exercise. Wahaha! easier said than done but it has to be done, if not we will be like a room that store old files with crockcoaches, mama tikus, anak tikus, tai dorang, tai cicak dan macam2 tai lagi. Do we want to be like that? I dont think so. Balancing food and exercise is the hardest thing to do after no.1 hit - breaking someone's heart. I dont know whether it applies to you but it definitely apply to me. But i will not elaborate that further. Foods have been gloriously advertised in mass media like TV, radio, internet, newspaper, mags, shopping complexes where you have food sample by the counter and on the streets. And not forgetting cheap-skate advertisement where you paste ur ads on an old building wall, pillars, bus-stop, slipping food flyers on ppl's windshield, dan yang sewaktu dengannya. So everywhere we go, we see food. And we can get all these food for an affordable price, some are cheap, some are expensive, some are free like maggie mee free sample in Ngiu Kee.
So if we are able to see food as accessible, affordable, fun, tasty and mind blowing. Then we can also apply that thinking to exercise. Let's promote exercise like we promote food. Put exercise in colourful flyers, slip the exercise flyers into someone's car, give away those flyers to the public while they are trying free maggie mee sample. Come on! Come on!
And at this moment, i have just finished a grande size of ice blended coffee and a donut (yes, i was also been thinking abt that since a week ago). But i didnt finished the ice blended coffee (guilty) cos it's too sweet, it's killing me. Okay have to go now, going inside City Mall to buy something. Bye-bye and dont forget to promote exercise to ourselves, our family, our friends, our partners, our acquaintances, our bosses, ourselves again and whoever we think may be concerned. Hidup exercise!! Hidup exercise!!

Whenever i think about you, i remember how you'd lived. One solid and strong impression was you are full of love. I remember how you love me... there's no word that can describe you grandma, none but one, LOVE.

I've been missing you since 3 christmas ago, and that was when i started to trust in Jesus, sometimes i went insane and prayed that i can be with you at that moment, but that's not how He wants me to think. But He also wants me to know of who i am today and of u and and of mum.

Grandma, i'm sorry i didn't take good care of u when u were ill. That, i regretted so much but i know u have forgiven me. If i have one more day to be with u here on earth, i would be by ur side and have quality time together. I will take care of u. Grandma, I remember how you love me and I love you too, miss u so much...

BIRD FAIR 2008

In conjuction of Zoom Malaysia, Sandakan Bird Fair 2008 was held in Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC) last weekend. It was an event officiated by our Minister of Tourism, Dato Azalina Othman. Those who attended were from various gov departments, NGOs, local and international tourists, Sabahans especially, tour agencies, resorts, etc. Lots of people! I didn't bring my camera so didn't get the chance to shoot a lot during those 2 days.

Some of the equipments for bird watching..grrreaat!
Well, my original plan was only to be there during the officiating and then back home. So during lunch i hang out with some colleagues from FRC in the information counter. I didn't know they are actually the DJ for the event. Suddenly they invited me to be with them and main-main jadi DJ, i said yes. At first, bagagar juga lah cos only used to speak in formal way and not casually in front of a big group. Not forgetting the 'struggling for words' punya insiden lagi haizzz... But it turned out to be okay aaaand i stayed there until 5pm. Well, that was not my original plan but it was a good and fun experience though. Glad i stayed and glad i came back on the 2nd day!

The DJs - DJ me, DJ Eyen and DJ Julsun
