Perseverance
i still believe in fairy tales.
i still believe that love can change everything that seemed impossible and hopeless.
and one day we shall be rewarded for our perseverance, our faith in believing in the one and only.
however challenging it may be, for having to believe in something that you can't see, it's worthy.
it was never easy.
times can be rough, lonely and devestating.
and you may feel pointless for whatever you are holding on to.
but you are allowed to fall.
i believed that we all have fallen at some point in our lives.
the most important thing was, it's whether you will pick yourself up and appreciate the lesson.
it's never too late to get back up again.
just remember that you are loved, always.

Addictions
Addiction.
I could not stop thinking about this word the entire day. It's as if I'm addicted to the word addiction and anything associates with it.
My addictions.
Like when I don't get my daily dose of caffeine. My face would turn blue and I don't look at the road when I drive. It makes me feel very sorry for my mini.
Like when I nervously called the credit card service number to increase my limit so it would ease my urge of spending, mostly on things I "need".
Like when I unconsciously fixed my eyes on shoes displayed at the shop front while rushing to somewhere coz I'm always not on time.
Like I could not keep my hands away from my newly acquired iPhone3GS. Hence this nonsense I'm writing.
It makes me wonder the possibility of a new global enterprise with a network of rehabilitation centres for iPhone/facebook/whatever addicts. I'm sure I would spend a fair share of my lifetime in such a place.
Many many addictions need to be cured, yet so little time.
GET OFF YOUR BLOODY IPHONE!
Okie. Ciao for now.
P.s. Grill'd hot chips are really really yummy XD

"My Sister's Keeper"
Wish I'd known where to start, as of now every single piece of my entombed memories is unearthed.
All thanks to My Sister's Keeper.
There were a few moments when I desperately wanted to flee out of the cinema. The sound of flipping over her scrap book, like the one I have; the happiness and excitements with Taylor knowing that it'd begone in just a moment; and the recurring scenes of the wards reminded me the times I sat next to my beloved ailing on the hospital bed, yet there were nothing I could help...
Leaving the emotional storm aside, I wanna address one of the issues raised in this film, letting go. Why do some people keep on fighting so vigorously for someone or some things, yet on the other hand, some just simply, give up? And what is really worth persisting anyways? How do we define and distinguish things that we do or do not which may one day makes us feeling either regret or grateful for having or not done so?
I would love to think that letting go is another form of moving forward. However encouraging it may sound, I could not ignore the fact that there could have turn into something beautiful if you just persevere, even with the tiniest glimpse of hope. But then it raises the question about hope. How do we ever clarify genuine or false hope? Isn't it true that we would never know until the end of days?
Enough of questions and puzzles. Shall return to my sea of article readings. Peace out.

In times of need
I wanna pray for those who's in times of need. The need of a peace of mind during painful breakups, witnessing loved ones with agonising illness and those who are under constant pressure and suffering self-doubts. May the Lord our God provide you with assurance that all things are in His hands. Though at times like this you may question the existence of the Lord, but He is with you, always, as He promised. Have faith in our one and only Father, and believe.
In Your most precious name. Amen.
to give thanks
Thank you all.
I'm electrified with this hearty sense of gratefulness. No experience is bad experience as God assures us. Every drop of tears and every moment of joy is captured and valued. At times of lows there are people who would give you a pat on the back. At times of rage there be a cup of soy latte. And at times of confusions there will have answers.
Although one may think that I've exaggerated a little. Ineluctablely, there are many things one would deal with on oneself, and more often, these are the things that trouble our lives. I'd love to think I have all things controlled around me. However, we all know that is unrealistic and foolish. However, we should never put ourselves down by all means. These moments of challenge and struggles are magic ingredients that make our lives so tasteful.
Love love.
Salvado Dali
Some of the remarkable pieces from Salvador Dali, as appraised, from the Dali exhibit held in the National Gallery Australia.
It was an overwhelming intellectual challenge to extract the heart and soul from each magnificent piece. The preciseness of each brush stroke, the surrealistic mix of textures and forms and the tortuousness of ideas depicted in such a cunning way. It would definitely worth visiting again.
Will definitely visit again.
Self-portrait with the Neck of Raphael, 1921
The Anthropomorphic Cabinet, 1936
The Hand, 1930
Soft Self-portrait with Grilled Bacon, 1941
(One question being asked if actual eyes were casted, what do you think?)
Christ of Saint John of the Cross, 1951
(I personally adore this piece in how he rendered the crucifiction of Jesus Christ with such graceful manner.)
