David cook: Time of my life

I’ve been waiting for my dreams
To turn into something
I could believe in
And looking for that
Magic rainbow
On the horizon
I couldn’t see it
Until I let go
Gave into love and watched all the bitterness burn
Now I’m coming alive
Body and soul
And feelin’ my world start to turn

And I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time
To be more than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life

Holding onto things that vanished
Into the air
Left me in pieces
But now I’m rising from the ashes
Finding my wings
And all that I needed
Was there all along
Within my reach
As close as the beat of my heart

and I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life

And I’m out on the edge of forever
Ready to run
I’m keeping my feet on the ground
Arms open wide
Face to the sun

I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
This is the time
This is the time of my life.
This is the time of my life.

Fresh day fresh start

I should not stay in the past. It’s pain and slow to move on but I still need to!
I need time to heal and I do believe in time I be myself again. Watch me! :)

It’s pain to know the person who causes this pain has gone and maybe pretend to not know about what has happened. *shrug* I should care less because with this I can be stronger. With this I know my own path to happiness is in my own hand and I promise myself, I will not rely on others anymore. The time you walked away, I lost the shoulder I depend on. But with this, Linda will become a new person.

All I can grip is the nice memory and I will not forget about this.

Work… Life… Love… Complicated.

Happy 24th birthday to my beloved sister

Happy family

Happy family: from left to right: Little brother (a sun), birthday girl (ling), 2nd sister (thing) and me (hua)!

Mmm… times goes so fast :) my little sister reaches 24 today (18th May). I miss you sister. Wish you all the best with your work in Singapore. Hope we can meet soon. Love you…..

I know just how to whisper,
And I know just how to cry;
I know just where to find the answers;
And I know just how to lie.
I know just how to fake it,
And I know just how to scheme;
I know just when to face the truth,
And then I know just when to dream.
And I know just where to touch you,
And I know just what to prove;
I know when to pull you closer,
And I know when to let you loose.
And I know the night is fading,
And I know that times gonna fly;
And Im never gonna tell you everything
Ive got to tell you,
But I know Ive got to give it a try.
And I know the roads to riches,
And I know the ways to fame;
I know all the rules
And then I know how to break em
And I always know the name of the game.

But I dont know how to leave you,
And Ill never let you fall;
And I dont know how you do it,
Making love out of nothing at all

(making love)
Out of nothing at all,
(making love)
Out of nothing at all,
(making love)
Out of nothing at all,
(making love)
Out of nothing at all,
(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)
Out of nothing at all.

Every time I see you all the rays of the sun
Are streaming through the waves in your hair;
And every star in the sky is taking aim
At your eyes like a spotlight,
The beating of my heart is a drum, and its lost
And its looking for a rhythm like you.
You can take the darkness from the pit of the night
And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright.
Ive got to follow it, cause everything I know, well its nothing till I give it to you.

I can make the run or stumble,
I can make the final block;
And I can make every tackle, at the sound of the whistle,
I can make all the stadiums rock.
I can make tonight forever,
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn;
And I can make you every promise that has ever been made,
And I can make all your demons be gone.

But Im never gonna make it without you,
Do you really want to see me crawl?
And Im never gonna make it like you do,
Making love out of nothing at all.

(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)

Could not get the embedded object for the original song from YouTube, but i think this clip is nice :)

I sit alone thinking of you
and all the things we’ve both been through
You are my soul mate, my very best friend
and i know you’ll be there until the end

Your shoulder to cry on will soon be gone
who will be there when something is wrong
when times are tough you’re always there
It shows me just how much you care

Although were going separate ways
you’re in my heart till my final days
nothing can make a person see
how special a friend you are to me

I dreamed of a friend just like you
and finally my dream came true
noting else could ever fulfill
everything you’re friendship will

You understand a side of me
that no one else could ever see
you know whats wrong before i cry
but if I do, you will always know why

A friend like you is hard to find
you put my problems all behind
you were there when no one cared
the best times were the ones we shared

We’ve been together through good and bad
you made me laugh when i was sad
and no one else could ever be
as good of a friend you are to me

Our time together is wilting away
more and more everyday
but now until the very end
you’ll always be my special friend.

Lost…

While Sitting here waiting for my friends to complete their shopping, my brain roam around in another world. I don like the feeling of need and lost at the same time. Yesterday, on islander hotel, room 34, our favourite hotel, we stayed up till 3 am and had chat with ah Seng. We supposed to say goodbye at toowoomba at the same day (3rd may), but Anson, henry, liho, cynthia, kim and me still did not have “enough” of Seng… So on last minute we decide tofollow seng to goldcoast since he is holidaying for 3 days there with his family. Our last goodbye five months ago was not that difficult but this time… it’s seems soo… Mmm I don know how to describe… But all of us know that our next meeting cant be foreseen now since everyone has their fulltime job. Seng we miss u already… And for me, I miss u badly….

Yesterday also was my most memorable day. As usual, I always shares my feeling with Seng and he us my good listener, but yesterday, I opened up myself more and let him know more of my thinking for the last five months when he was not around. Yes, it turned out badly as I was embarrassed. But it’s actually feel good as I managed talk out my feeling. There so many things I feel like puttig in this blog… My feeling about the conversation so I can cherish and remember but I know it’s too private ;)
This morning before he checked out, we said another goodbye. I know I will miss him a lot… But hopefully we can
meet soon…

I cant say much last night seng… All i can say now is Love u n u will be always in my heart…

And about my lost n need feeling, I better settle them myself. And I hope I m strong enough…

Happy graduation seng & kristal

LO + Frank Chua 26th May 2009After 5 years since our Final Year Projects in Singapore Polytechnic, I met up again with one of my team members, Mr Frank Chua. We did not take much pictures together but he claimed that this picture is the best to be posted in my blog. ;)
