The Challenge.

Sometimes I feel my life isn't as challenging anymore.

It's like things are so smooth sailing in a way besides the major project of course.
I feel the more trials and challenges one have in life builds one into a stronger person.
I believe in the greater the trial and heartache equates to bigger destiny.
Look at all those famous people out there...
Eg. Thomas Edison. He had his heart broken after failures and failures on the lightbulb but in the end he succeeded. And the invention changed the world...

I like the saying: let every disappointment be your new appointment.
So literally speaking, if there's no disappointment then there ain't gonna be no new appointment!
Now, i'm paranoid for not going through any new REAL challenges
maybe i do but i just don't realise...hmmm.
In any case, I want to be pushed to my limits; trapped into a corner with no means of escape.
At which would force me to stare adversary in the eyes and conquer it.

I need to go through hardship and be oust from my comfort zone.

Only then, will i be wittier and stronger.

On the other hand, I feel that I have so much untapped potential within me which i aint utilizing.

Note to self* parable of the talents... bury = taken away =\

Ok it's time for me to venture out into new frontiers/wilderness; seeking new challenges

and boldly go where no-man has gone before! or rather myself. haaa

Taken @ Queenstown NZ =)

Was browsing through some of the New Zealand shots i took, and i stumbled upon this particular picture. and some inspirational words struck me...

In every dark cloud in life, there's always a silver lining.

No matter how dark and gloomy it seems; there's always a way out.

So find it.

Picture taken @ Lake Hawea I think. =\

Be-a-u-tiful!

Randomness

great, i officially entered the hellish stage of my poly life. Major Project for 10 weeks, 9am-6pm 5 days a week to be in school. oh gosh. doing some phone programming and implementation. and the worst part is that it's problem based learning!! which means minimal help from lecturers. Argh!

Nevertheless, i'm taking it positively with anticipation of the challenge that awaits me. =)

Anyway, I'm deeply enthralled by this song I discovered on youtube which i stumbled upon while searching for With or Without You covers. It's a Goo Goo Dolls song called 'Without you here' covered by this user called 'boyceavenue'. The lyrics of that song is just awesome lar, and the guy who sang it makes it perfecto! I feel that he brought out the essence of the song even though I've yet to listen to the original...

But I like this particular part of the lyrics:

"My head lies to my heart

And my heart it still believes

It seems the ones who love us are the ones

that we deceive"

Well, I'm just addicted to this cover now... haha

I'll check out more on the band Goo Goo Dolls(weird name) and the cover singer boyceavenue tomorrow or something when I've the time. Darn you major project!!!

Forgotten how to post a youtube vid here, but here's the LINK.

Awesome stuff!

Go listen to it JW!!! Enough with the boy band songs already lar dope! lawl.

With or without you

See the stone set in your eyes

See the torn twist in your side

I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate

On a bed of nails she makes me wait

And I wait without you

My hands are tied

My body bruised, she got me with

Nothing to win and

Nothing left to lose

With or without you

Simply awesome song by U2!

long drives

I find pleasure in late night drives.

No one else except me in the driving seat.

Of course, someone else might be missing ;)

heh

oh well =P

So it's me and my music instead.

Cruising down the highway with my favorite songs playing,

singing loudly along with the lyrics.

And when certain slow songs are played, my mind will go into deep thought.

I dig that!

Oh, and the windows will be winded down,

to allow the cool night breeze to saturate the interior creating a relaxing atmosphere.

wooooooooo....

Absolutely perfecto!

Anyway,

I would feel really really good after that

Great way to loosen and de-stress myself.

So anyone wanna join me on this "adventure" ? haaaa. jokeeee.

Summer Stars

We will shine like stars in the summer night.

We will shine like stars, it will be alright.

One heart, One heart, One heart.

Happiness?

Happiness.

What's the real definition of happiness?

For me at least.

Is it having all the desired material possessions in the world?

Is it drinking all my sorrows away every night in a pub?

Is it womanizing?

Is it clubbing?

No, I don't want any of those "happiness".

So what do I really really really want to experience true happiness?

Simple, live out my God given dream with no distractions!

.

Well, that's my godly want but how about my own personal want?

I think it is to love and to be loved in return.

Isn't that something we all yearn for?

Don't ya all agree?

Not that I'm lacking in love or anything...

But there're different kinds of love in which we all need.

Such as Father's love, family love, friends love and etc etc etc.

And each kind of love can only be filled by a certain group of people or by an individual.

If one particular area of love is not filled, we tend to feel insecure even though the rest are at optimal.

Conclusion...

Happiness = To love and to be loved in return.

Because...
