The Golden Thread

"In a world where many things do not always happen. Not all of the many things teach you something good. Of those of which do, they do not come very often. I am lucky, yes I am, to have witnessed such rarity and to come across such a golden thread in a pile of hay. People who saw the hay went away because to them there is no chance of having something valuable in the pile of hay. People who saw the thread left the thread because they thought it was like all threads, or maybe just a bit better. People who saw the golden thread may leave it in the hay for it is they felt fear of the assumed harms and pains to reach the golden thread. I pity these people for not persevering, because they may have lost the only golden thread available left in that town. The only golden thread that can be fit on their clothes that lasts forever. I knew the maker of the golden thread, and I am lucky, I admit. He gave me a bit of that thread today."

Thank you, my mentor, brother and friend, for that golden thread.

The Pain I’m Not with You

The Pain I'm Not With You
by
SKY

I don't know what I'm doing
I told myself i have to leave you
But at the end of any day
My mind is filled with shadows of you

Your tenderness your kindness
The shine on your appearance
Oh where I can find another one
As charming as you are

Chorus:
It's hard to sleep any night
It's hard to breathe any seconds
Coz at anytime
At any moment
Your face is in my mind

It pains to know you have a someone
It hurts coz I'm not the one
Who's by your side
Embracing you
And saying to you
The three words
I Love You

Verse II
Some friends told me to give you up
There's someone out there better than you
But all the girls I met before
None is is even a quarter of you

Your humor and your cheerfulness
There is magic in your smiles
To me a girl like you comes only once
Every thousand years

Chorus
It's hard to sleep any night
It's hard to breathe any second
Coz at any time
At any moment
Your face is in my mind

It pains to know you have a someone
It hurts coz I'm not the one
Who's by your side
Embracing you
And saying to you
The three words
I Love You

Bridge:
When I couldn't see you in a day I felt that
A pain has reached inside
But when you're there and standing in front of me
It hurts even more
To know that you're not mine
Whoa...

Chorus:
It's hard to sleep any night
It's hard to breathe any second
Coz at any time
At any moment
Your face is in my mind

It pains to know you have a someone
It hurts coz I'm not the one
Embracing you
And saying to you
The three words
I Love You

And I'm still feeling the pain
The pain I'm not with...
You...
Whoa... Hoa....
The pain I'm not with you

Completed my previous song!!!

Ok, 看见你 is actually my.. 5th or 6th song.. couldn't really remember. I just completed and old song from myself. It's called "Goodbye". I wanted to make this song and sing it to my friends who'd be going away for their studies, but couldn't finish it in time. Haha.

Goodbye (SKY)

Verse I
Since we've met
Lots of things have happened
And we soon became friends
With memories to share

The times we spent
The challenges we conquer
And our friendship seems like
It's never going to end

We all know that one day we're gonna be apart
Now that time is here
It's only too soon
to say it to you

Chorus:
Goodbye
Sayonara
Selamat Jalan
and
An yong hisa ge yo
Farewell my friends
till we see each other again

Remember
That you are always our friend
And you'll be in our hearts
Let's pray
that one day
We'll meet each other again.

Verse II
The things we did
The smiles we had together
Through the dark and the bright
There's hapiness within

We love you all
Let's embrace each other
Let us walk hand in hand
Let friendship never end

'Tho we know that one day
We will have to say goodbye
But let's appreciate
The fun we've all had
For me and for you

(Repeat Chorus)

My Song!!!

Hey... Based on a girl, I was able to create a song!!! Took around one week but the song was done. Sang it, but not so great yet. Maybe it needs a little bit of editing. Anyway, here's the lyrics..

看见你(SKY)

每次我看见你就听到Hi!
把你五指手指也放出来
你能够把我心情便跟high!
你甜蜜的笑容也让我笑起来

不知道什么让我
躲在一边
偷偷望着你
是不是你的可爱
加上你的愉快
让你在我眼里也逃不出去woooo…

不管有多莫伤心
不管有多莫操心
看见你
把那所有都忘记
看见你
失落都变成欢喜
看见你
我很高兴

只要有你的可爱
只要有你的愉快
就能带那蓝色天空出来
我不怕孤单伤心和操心
只要我知道
我还能再次
看见你

I still need to perfect it. But please have cut the slack on me. I'm still half a banana..

Zealous Piranha Hi Dinner

Yup, last Saturday we went all the way to Port Dickson Batu 4. It was.... not a smooth trip as we faced a few problems throughout the two days. Hmm... I wonder if "Cheng Beng" has anything to do with it... Scary...

So just a brief account and some pictures, let me describe the journey...
We start at about 10.00 am from KTDI......We had breakfast at "bismillah" at Serdang.. .

Then one of the bikes got a puncture in of the tyres, we had to stop at Seremban to wait for that bike....
After replacing tyres we went to one of my floormates' brothers' wedding at the Ampangan area Negeri Sembilan where...Chee Loung was converted to Islam. Maybe I should call him Muhammad Chee Loung. Lolz
We ate and took pictures with the bride and the bridegroom.... Then we went our way to Port Dickson Again. Nth much until we reach there
Haha! Our banner... We prepared the barbecue pit and the Malay played in the waters. Us Chinese did not dare to go in, Jia Choon said "pantang ar... Month of Cheng Beng.."
It was quite beautiful though...
Haha.. Yeah.. Looks relaxing...Our campfire...

At night we had a few activities going on... My camera could not take good night pictures so I kept it. But I got the "Anugerah Non-Malay Terbaik" lolz!!! We slept at about 3 a.m.

Straight to morning views...


Well... took these when everyone's asleep... Haha and when they woke up we took more photos again. Then a caterpillar jumped on my neck and triggered allergic reaction. Caution: The following picture is very graphical. Viewers discretion advised...

AAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!! Itch Ultima!!!!

We had to rush back to KTDI.... With motorbikes!!!! The swelling got worse. Sorry no pics this time.

We arrived back at KTDI at around 2.

Overall... It was a.... Bumpy ride....

My English has a Problem!? So what?

People who talked to me in English have very different opinions on what my English level is. To be more accurate, it's my accent that people have different comments about.

Some people, when they talked to me says...
"Hey, I like your English, you speak very well in English, I want to learn more from you!"
For those friends of mine, I thank you very much for the compliment. Really, it's a sort of motivation for me to keep speaking the way I am comfortable with. However, there are some advice to all locals reading this post.

1) To be good in speaking English, it doesn't mean you need to have a British, American or Australian accent. We are Malaysians, it is inappropriate to say that having a Malaysian accent in English speaking is wrong.
2) The most important thing is not the accent, but the message that you want to present to your prospects. If they understand what you are talking about, you are speaking a good enough English.
3) Being really good in English speaking really has no connection to the accents, but if you can speak correct structured sentences clearly, that is enough.
4) There is no two person who speaks in exactly the same sound, so why are we so certain that the accent from the west is standard?
So, my friends, I do encourage people to talk to me, but don't be so concerned on the accent. If you are confident with it, it's your style, be proud of it.

Now, on the other hand some people said...
"Stop speaking with that AAUUUSSSTTTRRRALLLIIIAAANNN accent la.... You should be ashamed of yourself for NOT SPEAKING LIKE A MALAYSIAN. Stop acting and showing off la..." (Especially by "mentor" and "Mrs. mentor")
Ok, this I must clear my innocence. I speak like that because I enjoy speaking like that. It's one of my hobbies to play around with different accents. And in the end, I cannot really speak Malaysian English comfortably.
I am comfortable with my current accent, and it's not really because I envy the West.
I never condemn anyone for their accents, and I think that is fair enough to let me speak in the accent I want. Get a life!

What I want to conclude is, the most important things are that you are comfortable and your messages get through.

Don't focus or condemn accents. Peace.
