Finally...

Walking free... Opening up the window of my heart and start breathing the fresh air... *Feeling wonderful and light*

aMazing Love

I had a conversation with my friend on MSN yesterday, and this is a title i gave to my own theory about love.

I said:
Sometimes, i just wish i had an accident and lost a period of my past memory, as it is too painful to be remembered, but sometimes, they were also sweet memories.

Why? eg...

"Love" or "Being in love..." is like walking hand in hand with your partner into and through a maze together...

Together, we face many turbulence and ride through many hardships, and finally walking out of the maze leaving lots of memories to look back together. It is both fruitful, beautiful and priceless.

But, being separated or left alone in the maze... is both painful and lonely...

Sometimes, i just wish that i could walk back to the beginning where i didn't met that person at the first place or I'd finish the maze alone and start anew.

My friend replied:
I wonder what happened to the person who left. Is that person as lost?

I replied:
I too wonder myself, perhaps that person had reached the end of the Maze and had started anew ba...

Alaska Trip

My apologies for not updating my blog... Been very busy with my stuffs and traveling around.

For that, Let me take you guys on a trip with me, shall we? ^_^

It all begin with a trip with a group of Strangers...


After touching down at Juneau International Airport at around 4am. We booked in into the Juneau Hotel and immediately head straight out... This is the first photo my friend John Hyde took. A Sunrise shot at the Gastineau Channel at Juneau, Tongass.


Heading down to the Mendenhall Lake on a misty fall morning. John took another photo, there you can see, Glacier beyond at the Tongass Forest.

Oh by the way, i haven't introduce, John Hyde is a professional photographer, you should see all his photo collections.

Alright, Less talk and more photos coming up. ^_^






On a private jet, we flew past Granite Peaks from beneath 1000s of feet of ice, passing through Juneau Ice Field... Below we see the ice breaks at melt pond.

Destination: Mendenhall Glacier, Tongass Forest
Purpose: Hike with a group of hikers.


We're exploring the Mendenhall Glacier, melt pond in foreground.


Happy trekkers reach destination by melt pond on Mendenhall Glacier. I'm at the back resting. Haha~!


We took a break and drink the chilling water from the melt pond and I saw John dipping his camera half submerge into the water to take this shot (of coz with a waterproof casing), and asked him if he could teach me some shooting technics, but i failed badly after few tries. -_-" He's just too good with cameras.




We went kayaking and was told not to venture too far. Haha~! Me, waving to the camera. *Waves*


Another amazing shot from John. The half submerge, split level view of an iceberg. Lightning strikes beyond.


Icicles hanging from ice cave at face of glacier contrast with sculpted blue ice of glacier.




Above:A melt stream flows through an ice cave underneath the Mendenhall Glacier. Below: Hiking through the ice cave I'm exploring an ice tube formed by melt water.


Sun setting at the north side, Juneau Ice Field.






Aurora Borealis, northern lights shimmer over the treetops in the Tongass forest, bare winter trees against aurora near Juneau.

After a long day trekking, we slowly move back down to our hotel... It was fun but tiring due to long hours of flight(for me) & trekking. Haha... But well, for the scenery, its all worth it.

I'm so inspired by the photo shots taken by John Hyde. How i wish it is all a reality for me. Thou this is just an IMAGINARY TRIP that I'm bringing you all along with me. But I swear, I will go Alaska one day. Probably to also go visit John Hyde in person and ask if he could bring me around too.

By the way, i chance upon John's work when i'm doing my Art & Photography Research. Perhaps his work could also inspire you in any ways...

For more photos of John Hyde's work please click here.

Composition Inspired by "Edmond" a very cool friend of mine.

Merry Christmas Everyone...

Thou i couldn't celebrate Christmas due to following the old Chinese tradition. But i wanna say that i am very bless to have many friends around me who cared/smile/joy/loving and many other wonders which they give/show me... and also to those who invited me, my apology that i couldn't turn up.

六叔 - Uncle

六叔,祝你一路好走.

May you rest in peace, Uncle.

Its been the 2nd Lost I've encounter within a month. Tears cannot define the lost of our family and relatives.

At least, he do not need to struggle fighting with the pain anymore, 2ndly he left to join and accompany my grandmother that just left within a month ago.

I can feel the pain of lost within my Dad, having to lose his 2 closest kin.

Daddy... Stay strong like you've always been.

Uncle, I miss you a lot. I miss the childhood days when we're still neighbours. I miss the childhood days when i always run to your house and look for you and your son(my cousin) to play.

Grandma & Uncle, we love you...

Mayday's New Song

Well... I won't say too much. View it to see what happens yeah? Oh, and regarding about if this MV story is real or not i do not know. Perhaps someone out there could tell me ya? ^^

五月天 - 突然好想你



Lyrics

最怕空气突然安静
最怕朋友突然的关心
最怕回忆 突然翻滚绞痛著 不平息
最怕突然 听到你的消息

想念如果会有声音
不愿那是悲伤的哭泣
事到如今 终于让自己属于 我自己
只剩眼泪 还骗不过自己

突然好想你 你会在哪里 过得快乐或委屈
突然好想你 突然锋利的回忆 突然模糊的眼睛

我们像一首最美丽的歌曲
变成两部悲伤的电影
为什么你 带我走过最难忘的旅行
然后留下 最痛的纪念品

我们 那么甜那么美那么相信
那么疯那么热烈的曾经
为何我们还是要奔向各自的幸福和遗憾中老去

突然好想你 你会在哪里 过得快乐或委屈
突然好想你 突然锋利的回忆 突然模糊的眼睛

最怕空气突然安静
最怕朋友突然的关心
最怕回忆 突然翻滚绞痛著 不平息
最怕突然 听到你的消息
最怕此生 已经决心自己过 没有你
却又突然 听到你的消息

A new song to intro...

林俊傑 - 我還想她



Lyrics

泪水将我淹没到底谁该难过
究竟是谁放掉这段感情

我才终于明白办不到的承诺
就成了枷锁
现实中幸福永远缺货

请告诉她我不爱她
笑着难过自我惩罚
想终止这一切挣扎
横了心说真心谎话

别告诉她我还想她
恨总比爱容易放下
当泪水堵住了胸口
就让沉默代替所有回答

我才终于明白办不到的承诺
就成了枷锁
现实中幸福永远缺货

请告诉她我不爱她
笑着难过自我惩罚
想终止这一切挣扎
横了心说真心谎话

别告诉她我还想她
恨总比爱容易放下
当泪水堵住了胸口
就让沉默代替所有回答

我不爱我不痛我不懂
我的心早已掏空
真心话言不由衷

请告诉她我不爱她
笑着难过自我惩罚
想终止这一切挣扎
横了心说真心谎话

别告诉她我还想她
恨总比爱容易放下
当泪水堵住了胸口
就让沉默代替所有回答

别告诉她我还想她
就让沉默代替所有回答

Reflections of a Skyline

Something really beautiful to share... It is like speaking of everyone's love story. Well, at least it is for me.

Hope you'll enjoy.



"And I want to play hide and seek, give you my clothes, tell you I love your shoes, sit on the steps when you take a bath, and massage your neck. And kiss your face, hold your hand, and go for a walk. Not mind when you eat my food, and meet you at Rudy's and talk about the day. Talk about your day and laugh at your, your paranoia. I give you tapes you don't even listen to, watch great films, watch terrible films. And tell you about the TV-program I saw the night before, and not laugh at your jokes. I want you in the morning, but let you sleep in for a while. Tell you how much I love your eyes, your lips, your neck, your tits, your arse. Sit on the steps, smoking, 'till your neighbours come home. Sit on the steps smoking 'till you come home. And worry when you're late, and be amazed when you're early. I'd give you sunflowers and go to your party and dance. Be sorry when I'm wrong and happy when you forgive me. Look at your photos and wish I'd known you forever. Hearing your voice in my ear, feel your skin on my skin, and get scared when you're angry. I tell you you're gorgeous, and hug you when you're anxious, and hold you when you're hurt, want you when I smell you, offend you when I touch you and whimper when I'm next to you. Whimper when I'm not. Dribble on your breast. Smother you in the night and get cold when you take the blanket and hot when you don't. Melt when you smile, dissolve when you laugh. But not understand how you think I'm rejecting you when I'm not rejecting you, and wonder how you could ever think I'm rejecting you. And wonder who you are, but I accept you anyway. And tell you about the tree angel, the enchanted forest boy who flew across the whole ocean because he loved you. I'd buy you presents you don't want and take them away again. And ask you to marry me, and you say no again but I keep on asking because though you think I don't mean it but I always have from the first time I asked you. I wander the city thinking. It's empty without you but I want what you want and think. I'm losing myself. But... But. But. I'll tell you the worst of me and try to give you the best of me because you don't deserve any less. Answer your questions when I'd rather not, and tell you the truth when I really don't want to, and try to be honest because I know you prefer it. And think it's all over, but hang on for just ten more minutes before you throw me out of your life. Forget who I am and let me try and get closer to you. And somehow, somehow, somehow communicate some of the overwhelming, undying, overpowering, unconditional, all-encompassing, heart-enriching, mind-expanding, ongoing, never-ending love... I have for you."

Working Hard, Meaning in Life

First of all, I have to thank everyone that had send condolence to me and my family.

Well, just a thought to share to everyone. As I know, I've been telling it to people around me cause many had asked me similar questions.

Questions: Derrick, why are you working so hard?

Answer: Getting passes is easy, but getting an "A", we'll need to put in extra effort.

Well, at one point I realized, it also answered my question to why I was working so hard at the period of time before I was schooling now.

Cause i remembered friends asking me a similar questions.

Question: Derrick, why are you working so hard? You crazy ar? or you needed so much money?

Answer: No la, I'm being dedicated to my work, since nothing much to do at home, might as well OT in office. (this is rubbish as i know, that time I am speechless to the question as i don't know what i should say, all i know was, i want to be hardworking)

In fact, my life at work had been so busy that i really do not have "DAY", as to say, almost every single day I OT till 12am, not forgetting going back to work in Saturdays and Sundays even thou I am in a 5 days work week Company.

I had to say that, of my doings and my change in attitude in life, it did generate great pay offs. Sadly, i have to quit work to pursue my studies even thou how hard my company had try to keep me. Well, at least I left my previous company with pride and recognition, that's really an honor.

Now, after pacing myself into a new environment, I learn that, we can put great meaning to every doings in our life.

Lets just say:

"Living a normal life is easy. But, to live an even better life, extra effort had to be put in."

Well, I know how much I've put in into my school work, perhaps I'm not yet an "A" student, but I'll keep trying and keep moving forward.

Hope the above "quote" can help generate a good meaning in everyone and in their lives too. ^^

婆婆...

婆婆,祝妳一路好走.

Grandma, may you leave in peace.

Been through many ups and downs. Recently I've work even a little over board. Haha~! but my effort wasn't a waste.

Many praises, but I felt really sour and bitter as some emotion hits me. If only that person knows what I've made myself till what i am today. I believe that person will also be proud of me.

But I'll not stop growing. I'll one day spread out my wings to do as much as i can, to help and to even fly higher.

Thank you for being the one that made me grew.
