and sometimes, you find a heart.. ..in that belated birthday card. beautifully pretty in pink and the many pieces of papers included. the kind of delight you get when you receive snail mail. that always works for me. (thank you).
..in that two hours after closing hour he spent answering questions and explaining his business for our assignment. not something he needed to, but more of something called reaching out to the community. i have utter respect for this guy. just seeing his vision for his business makes you want to put this guy in your list of role models; no nonsense about high and mighty corporate attitude, everyone still loves being treated like they are someone in the community. ..in that email peppered with words in green font checking up on you and consequently making you miss her. and the giggles that just burst out after just one paragraph. and for knowing that someone very important to you is thinking about you. ..in that home cooked meal in front of a very oldschool movie. something you haven't had since.. instant noodles wasn't considered home cooked and tv equates thesimpsons. simple gestures like that that lets you take a breather out of the stressful uni route of life, and smile. (thank you). ..in giggling over someone you barely know cos she just cracks you up in the afternoon when everyone's tired of talking about red bull(another assignment) ..in the text message meant for you. ..when you can't handle the world on your own; you get very thankful for these hearts. what may seem like nothing to them may be just what pulls you through.

how do they do it?
frustrated, sigh.
everything just comes in a bang, you know? a big slam, hitting you left right centre. you draw your energy from that steady rock that is always there, but at times you just feel like you're slowly drifting away.. really..dont lose sight of Him. that is the one thing worth holding on to, i believe. when you look at the bigger picture, what you're going through isn't that tough after all. when you had the chance to walk through a circle of pictures, you can only murmur a prayer of thanksgiving for the situations you are in. ..as compared to the realities of the pictures staring back at you.

pillow talk have you ever seen something so beautiful that you are drawn to it like a magnet;
you just walk in a daze with your eyes on it, and you find it so hard to tear yourself away? you tell yourself, just a little while more. just till it becomes plain. but it doesn't. and you keep staring, telling yourself you'll leave in a few minutes. and the few minutes turn into a few more. until it sets and the beauty goes down the horizon, leaving you with dark clouds overshadowing the skies. until the array of colours that struck you hard blend into one, that silhouette of a bridge no longer visible. until the light wind blows harder. then you turn and leave. glancing back one last time with that mental note to return before the clock strikes six. - it's times like these you wish you had a better camphone, or your camera with you. and company. *grins. gushing to yourself just doesn't cut it, you know? and then that mess of a day? it just evaporates. sure, you look like an even bigger mess after work, what with that burnt bit of a finger.. but it just all flies away, know? then you leave for a good walk home, stopping by places that brings back memories at your own pace, taking a different route, staring into shops that you usually only see from afar by tram.. ..and creating memories at other places. maybe it was the switchfoot tickets i have in my hands now. ubergrins. i need that push to start working hard for my week7&8 killer assignments + presentations + midsems. my favourite chocolate chip muffin. it never fails to impress. two people down! my (mis)conception on kids [that they forget you once the day is over] have somehow been cleared. the little sweetie did actually remember me! and it's been weeks since the last time she gave me a hug! today she held my hand while her brother held my other hand and they dragged-walked me around church instead. but after that she had me all to herself and we walked all over the place swinging hands. a change of pace compared to racing around with her the last time round - what with me being super stoned today.

love.hate
i have a love-hate relationship with this.
 and right now, it's hate. grr. how did it manage to look presentable here, it's a wonder. cos today was the craziest hair day.. ever. mmm, on a totally unrelated note, bacon deluxe(hungry jacks) was mouth watering. after a long day at work, dinner at 11pm was never so appealing. finished it in about a minute or so. the poster i was drawing, that roti jala + chicken curry.. turned out fabulous. okay, that was my weekend :) grins.

my sleepy heartbeat you, thank you for making my morning. for your guitar, and your voice. the memories you bring back from your songs. growing up listening to these songs some of daddy's favourite songs. closing my eyes clutching my glass of hotchocolate. enclosed in the excited background morning chatter my two companions on either side. gorging down yummy hotdogs. your voice resonates, simply beautiful. your kind nature, visible through your simple question about the other guy across the street, you may not have felt us as we dropped by your case, but.. thank you for doing what you do. i hope you were blessed as much as i was. anyone up for another morning like this?

do you REALLY? (mel, 2007)
So often is I Love You tossed back and forth that all significance and meaning is lost. I demand nothing less than a bleeding heart for once, that was what i offered. wholeheartedly agree with the first sentence. too much of a good thing never works. hm, on my part, i'd change the last sentence, cos what's the point in demanding for something that isn't given freely? captivation. it happens to the best of us.

strawberries & cream how come my hair is on its BEST behaviour only when i'm comfortably decked in my pyjamas.
silly hair. arrrgghhh, the elves have taken over my room! look at the mess they left behind. the work they did not finish up for me! *there was once a fairytale about hardworking elves. can anyone remember that story? how come my elves weren't like that? uh, hee. good day! i need to be an audio stream junkie. got set back almost a hundred for marketing text. didn't get back that amount selling donuts. it must be my indian competitor, trying to grab my customers away from me. quality, brother. more respond to my chirpy "HI", until you had to say "HI" to my already served customer. ah, that was hilarious. *triple grins old skool memory - the fervent counting of who introduced more friends to the other. during an exam, pfahh. we got out of college nearing the bottom of the top anyhows eh, dude? and i'm sure I introduced you to more friends - QUALITY, brother, it's all about the quality. fed to the brim with nasi briyani, nasi lemak & roti cheese. and a lollipop. *grins it has been some good dinners, there. can't complain. company wise.. awesome, what did you expect? you can never have enough laughter and conversation. extroverted introvert. maybe just a bit. watermelon jelly and prawn sambal. kangkung belacan. all the curries in the world unite, i say! servings of cake, three times more! vodka jelly shots, crackers, sangria. the beauty of sugar. not in an overload sense. honeycomb, rock candy, decorations! tearing cake, man was them berries heavy! hear hear. the party's here, say it like you mean it! the grand buffet hall great debate. shocking but believable relations. phoo. donut workers, indian cousins. new age discovery over midnight hotchoc and coffees; it takes three to tango. what a revelation! never have i heard such a play of words! three is the new two, honey. and that's the last few days for me. taxation law, momma's coming for you now.

light the darkest place. i was early again, like before.
so i did the same thing, like before. hopped off a couple of stops before and took a looong quiet contemplative stroll along the streets lined with girly shops. staring into the windows but not quite. this time instead of the winter chills, it was the soft rain on my face. this time instead of a sunshiney early morning, it was a cloudy evening. ushering instead of cafe duty. but i entered the same walkway. bought the same italian roll. lunch instead of breakfast. and then a very joyful girl entered the doors of overflowing love.
