Smile

You put the smile
Back on my face
You light up the times
When the pieces do not fit
Just for a while
All things found their way
Meanings were simple
In that moment of embrace

So this was what it feels like
Being with you
Just being with you
It's not so hard to define
I see from your heart
I see it in mine

It's from the start I've realised

So there was time
And distance in play
What first was impossible
Now came just to be
This is just how
It is to believe
All about finding out
What love truly is

Moonshine!

I'll be playing for Moonshine @ Laundry this Thurs! Come young and old! :)

Padang

Beside You

Hugs and kisses
I am missing
You're on the other side
How I'm wishing
That I could only be
Right beside you

Days come to weeks and
The months do feel like years
But I promise
You're always on my mind
How I'm wishing
That I could only be
Right beside you

It's through this
That I'll know
I will never let you go
It's through this
That I see
Every truth behind this precious feeling

I'm counting down the days

We'll beat consequences
Love transcends through
all time and distance
You're all I'll ever want
I'll be waiting
Just to be here right beside you

I'm here right now
Hear me as I say
I'm closer to you everyday

Netbook

I've been using my Lenovo S10 for two weeks now as my computer on the go. It's been performing really well. Featuring the now-standard 1.6-GHz Atom CPU and 2GB of RAM (I upgraded it), Photoshop runs smoothly, I dragged 20 jpeg images for processing, just to push the threshold of my netbook's power. It's big in size too, a 160 gig HDD makes this small wonder a monster storage by it's class.

I like it also due to it's no nonsense styling, most netbooks seem like toys to me! Haha.. But all in the name of preference. Customizability is possible, HDD upgradable too.

Last Thursday, Lenovo reported a net loss and sales decline for both the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31. Well, I'm glad I was able to help out with this small purchase. Every penny counts!

Jobbing

In an age whereby job security is a concern, my alarm is beeping, signalling that I'm raring to go. I'm being put in a unique situation and indirectly placed on a short term holiday, filled with freelancing assignments, the first being Padang. There's another one up this Sunday.

I guess it is something that I shouldn't rush in, however I am beginning to feel the parental pressure to step up. The fact is that I am bound by policy. Which means I have to play the game of my benefactor, the waiting game.

It is the calm before the storm. But it's not exactly stormy-like anyway. I appreciate the stillness of life now, as I can enter in focussed. But in the past few days, I've had some physiological disturbances. Very much linked to the swine flu fiasco but on the other hand had nothing to do with it.

I succumbed to a flu, the conventional type. But living in times such as this, especially after returning from overseas, I can't help but to imagine things.

Then at 4am today, I heard a voice that comforted me. She beeped. It's great to have someone being concerned for you. And despite the distance, I found my solace in prayer. I knew that it'll get better.

So in this period of transition still going, at least I know that university's really over for good as the pass/fail results came out today and showing no signs of failure. Now all that matters are the grades and it is a concern that I lay down in good faith. Will be fine.

Fertility, misc...

I was on assignment to the land of the fertile.

Well not exactly... HAHA!!! :P Had a good laugh on this one. Funny how language can differ in meaning with the same spelling huh? This is a long awaited post, I've been meaning to update but due to the hectic schedule for the past month, this blog was left aside.

I...

1. Completed my thesis on self-censorship and its impact on the Malaysian press.
2. Finished university!
3. Participated in my church's play.
   
4. Got addicted to House.
   

Those things took a toll on my time. Now that all has ended, except for my addiction to House, I can resume to a more consistent trend of blogging. I'm sure that this inactivity has caused this domain to lose its web value.

This season of my life marks a new beginning for me.

I turned 22 on May 8, it was a humble day, not much of hype but my personal observation this time around was a little different. It's great having somebody with you during your special day huh. :)

This time around I wake up not having to worry about the next semester's exam or coursework assignments. It's a nice twist to the routine. I had one week to enjoy the period of nothingness then I was handed the assignment to Padang. More pictures to come.

And this for sure, more blogging to come.
