住在心里,却告别在生活里

  不管时光怎样变迁,都会有这样一个人……
  总有一个人,一直住在心里,却告别在生活里。
  不管时光怎样变迁,都会有这样一个人,却一直住在心底
  熟悉的通往车站的小路,熟悉的烤肉馆,熟悉的Coffeebean.
  同样一条街。一个人再走一遍
  一点点还会触及到那些过往…

  已经过了很久了
  潜意识里告诉自己很多次
  要淡定说了好几次
  我已经放下了说了好几次
  真的以为什么都已经放下了
  忘不掉的是回忆继续的却是生活…

  来来往往身边出现了很多人
  总有一个位置一直没有变
  看看温暖的阳光偶尔还是会想一想

  少年时代的爱情真的可以很纯粹
  喜欢的永远是在你面前的这样一个人
  不会掺杂一些些属于社会的情感
  所以更值得珍惜留恋

  两个人,能够自然而然地在一起
  就是一种珍贵的幸福
  眼落到的爱情-都不真实
  结束一切都像是幻觉

  我还是会相信爱情
  但是不会再相信爱情能永远

  走过的那一段
  已是一段蒙太奇的胶片
  剪辑了一些些
  落在心里偶尔拾起再翻阅

  你对着我唱突然好想你
  为什么你带我走过最难忘的旅行
  然后留下最痛的纪念品
  跟我说歌词写到你心里
  保持沉默…

  现在要一份纯粹的爱情
  很难
  放不下骄傲放不下身段
  掺杂太多人太多事
  彼此撑着
  最后以“爱不起”、“不适合”收场

  陪我们走到最后的人
  也许算不上是我们最爱的
  但也许会是最合适的
  这样也很好,不是吗?
  人生本不完美

  也许懂得知足
  我们现在的生活就不是
  现在这个样子
  年轻就是这样有错过有遗憾
  最后才会学着珍惜

  再祭奠一次
  过去的那段情事
  再祭奠一次
  一直住在心底的那个人
  推开门回到自己的世界
  心平气和舒一口气

  谢谢你让我拥有那一段感觉
  完整真实自然
  这样一个过往留于我慢慢去品尝
  如花如世盛开的时候确是娇艳
  开过一季足矣…… 

别人的

  当令你快乐的一切不能再令你快乐,当令你悲哀的一切不能再令你悲哀,甚至激怒你的一切不能再激怒你的时候,是不是很可怕?一位哲人曾说过:这就叫做苍老。

  再想起你,你的名字,你的笑,你的一切,都只能加上一个“别人的”。

  再想起我们在一起的事,也只能加上一个“曾经的”。

  有些感情是指甲,剪掉了还会重生,无关痛痒。而有些感情是牙齿,失去以后永远有个疼痛的伤口无法弥补。

  不见面不等于不思念,不联络只是为了掩饰眷恋。

  有些人脸上太多的笑是因为他们心中有太多的泪。

  人生有一个地方,有一个人,在这个人面前,可以不必有出息,可以不必有形象,可以全身是弱点,这是知己。

  每个人在每个阶段得做每个阶段的事,就算怀念,都得离开。

  只有你不想放的,没有你放不下的。

  很多人,很多事,原本是熟悉的,以为明天可以再继续的。于是转过身暂时放手,想的是明日又将重聚的希望。太阳落下去重新升起来以前,那些事,就不可能再经历;那些人,就从此与你永别了。

  有时候不知道真相,不了解本质的人,是快乐的.而能够假装不知道真相,不了解本质的人,却是幸福的.

  就像一个热闹的party刚刚结束,人走了,灯灭了,黑暗中就只剩下你一个人……人有时就需要在寂寞中才能自省.只有从喧嚣走入寂静,你才会专注自己的心灵.

  对的时间,遇见对的人,是一生幸福.
  对的时间,遇见错的人,是一场心伤.
  错的时间,遇见错的人,是一段荒唐.
  错的时间,遇见对的人,是一生叹息.

  生命中不断有人离开或进入.于是,看见的,看不见了;记住的,遗忘了.生命中不断有得到和失落.于是,看不见的,看见了;遗忘的,记住了.然而,看不见的,是不是就等于不存在?记住的,是不是永远不会消失?

  我一直不愿意承认你是我生命中的过客。

  今生今世,但愿岁月静好,现世安稳,每天都能看见他的笑颜。

  若必得与最后的荒芜对望,也许明日出发,看一程山长水远,而归来是一生的事。

  青春尚未散场,还有未来可以挥霍。现实很穷,理想很富裕。

  当你还在我身边,我就开始怀恋,因为我知道你即将离去。——米兰昆德拉

  我们已经走得太远,以至于忘记了,为什么而出发。——纪伯伦

  佛笑了笑:爱是因为相互欣赏而开始的,因为心动而相恋,因为互相离不开而结婚,但更重要的一点是需要宽容、谅解、习惯和适应才会携手一生的。

  我最喜欢有你的城市。

  我爱你.也许这是心底最大的遗憾,因为,从来不曾诉与你。

  爱一个人,不要随便牵手,更不要轻易放手!

  在这世间,有一些无法抵达的地方。无法靠近的人。无法完成的事情。无法占有的感情。无法修复的缺陷。

  当他终于对你说“你的名字,我的姓氏”后,他终于不用套上别人的了,他也不是曾经的了。只是,那时,是否可以真的无憾?

  在什么都不确定的时候,我们总是爱得太迟,放弃得太快,轻易付出承诺,又不想等待结果。

  戒指,不再是一生一世的承诺,终生相守的誓言,却成了纪念伤感的烙印。

  就像有人说过的:戒指好比爱情,戴在手上,也是戴在心上;伤在心上,便也伤在手上。不敢碰的,是那心里的伤;不原摘的,是那难舍的爱。

  有人说,通往心脏的血脉是在无名指上,你知道我多想在今生,倾尽所有,牢牢地栓住你的无名指啊!

  如果爱让我走下去,我一定会拼到爱尽头。

  时间过了,爱情淡了,相爱的人也就散了。

  有些人是一直会刻在生命里的,哪怕忘记了他的声音忘记了他的笑容忘记了他的脸,可是每次想起他,那种感受,却永远不会变。

  曾经以为你是风筝,我是手中握着那根线,无论你飞向何方,我最终是你的归属。现在终于明白,如果爱你,就不应该束缚你。

Tribute

Reports are in. All I feel now actually is I don't know what to say or what is right to say. When to pick someone I cared for at the airport earlier. And will be expecting one last soul to be in Briton in days. The full circle will be completed. I really wish it was easier for me to put down in words but I really couldn't at all.

And paying tribute to the talents in Malaysia. To Jaclyn Victor's song, Jagalah Diri which means Take Care Of Yourself. I'm signing off totally for now. Just wish some moments to digest everything that is going on. And thanks Mr D, for always being there for me.

Breathe Me

I love this song...one reason is because it's so universal...it can be used for any sort of pain or addiction or sickness...just such a colorful, beautiful song about being alone and needing someone...or something to help you. Just feeling completely and utterly weak and vulnerable...

I also like it because it has an optimistic instrumental arrangement at the end...kind of like it's saying, "No matter how ugly the world may seem, there's always something more beautiful over the horizon." 

Really touching...I've listened to it a thousand times (seriously, that's what the playcount on my iTunes says), and I still find myself crying to the song. But this time was different. 


I saw a video posted by fans in Sydney. When you sing this song, I just knew I had to call you. My instinct was right. When you were at hello, I felt you. Whenever you tap into this kinda realm with your voice, the memories of your dad comes back. 

Imma not gonna talk anything about it. I just want you to know, I still cry to that song every time I listen to it. It is really a beautiful song. No one could possibly hold on. I felt my own pain too now. But I don't know why, I just felt it isn't right to write about it at all. 

As what this song meant to me? Lets talk about it in another post.

Just holding on to myself. Sinking with this beautiful song.

Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And the worst part is there's no one else to blame

Be my friend, hold me
Wrap me up, unfold me
I am small, and needy
Warm me up, and breathe me

Ouch, I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break
Lost myself again, and I feel unsafe

Be my friend, hold me
Wrap me up, unfold me
I am small, and needy
Warm me up, and breathe me

Your Body Music Video by Christina Aguilera.

The video is finally here. Anyway, I let you judge. I bet there are a lot of "reviews" coming out from the press in just minutes about her. They just will always attack her whenever they could. But may just forgot that no matter what she does, No One sings like her. And she does own everything up of what she does! Love her for the video, not quite for the message that she is sending. But still a big fan of her work! Love her loads! Here you go!!! Enjoy!!

Pain Is

Came across this song after it was strongly recommended by the Great Linda Perry. When I listen to it, I felt my world has just turn around. Everything was so right. I understood why Linda love this song. Alex (Hepburn) had the grasp in her voice. A little resembles Linda's but yet, another honest tune by an artist.

Sometimes, I really do wonder why great artist are always under-appreciated. Some make it but some dies off just like that. Linda is one of the greatest song writer-singer that I really have high respect of. But still, I am being asked sometimes, who is she and all that. Going back years ago, when Adele had her first album which won her 2 Grammys. No one even knew her. (most of my friends) Some even thinks her music sucks. But she had her big break with Some One Like You. And now, she is the hottest topic to talk about. Everyone agrees that she is the greatest singer that ever stood in the industry.

I realize being in this industry is very ironic sometimes. You could do what people likes or something honest to yourself. I believe many may not find Alex Hepburn's song to their taste. But my question is, should we compromise ourselves to just survive in doing what we love? I always stood at that brink where I could never find the right answer to it.

Even that these few days is really terrible for me physically, but this song really made me realize one thing, a heartache could never compare with any physical pain possible. It somehow change my emotions. In a good way I suppose. Anyway, don't really wanna talk about my condition. That isn't the topic of this post anyway.

As I was writing this, Christina Aguilera's new video Your Body is released. All I could say is WOW!! Hot Mama!!! She looks absolutely stunning in it. But with the video, I am pretty sure the press will start to attack her soon enough. It may be disturbing to many out there. But she always own it up to it! Proud of her with all her works after more than a decade! I salute you Xtina!

Anyway, I was also talking to my bestie, and I think she was made famous by me on twitter in the past. She is the one bitch that we always fuck each other up! Let's us call her Ms Rain. She really knows how to make me feel better after all the huha that I am going through. I'm gonna dedicate one post just to talk about her. In these few days, I promise.

为了忘却的记忆

看见脆弱的人看到哭泣的人,某人为爱而心痛;某人奉献付出全部的心,没看到有任何回报。

我只是想要问,那样做是为了谁,一直做下去疲惫吗?为了爱,甚麽都愿意承受,为了某人,甚麽都愿意做。奉献付出一切,为了爱而做,但如果爱了之后,没有甚麽好,而且久而久之没有任何回报,为何去爱,要忍受到何时:不明白…直到遇见你使我哭泣拥有的爱让我伤痛。

我可以奉献付出全部的心,所看见的就只有泪痕. 现在知道,让我面对承受的事情,和某人在一起,拥有希望。

为了爱甚麽都愿意承受,即使爱了之后,没有甚麽好,没有任何回报,我依然承受下去,自己遇到后才知道才明白…为了爱,甚麽都愿意承受,为了某人,甚麽都愿意做我为你而做为爱而做,即使爱了之后没有什么好,没有任何回报,我依然承受下去,自己遇到才明白,才明白… 

 如果你独自上路,我就是你不能拒绝的礼物.
你走的很远很辛苦,我就是你随时打开的礼物.

爱情有时候让你很孤独,我就是你为爱落下的泪珠.天上最蓝的星星是你的归宿,我就是带着灿烂来你身边的祝福.
想着你给我的感觉,不知为谁苦苦的恋.想着你给我的世界... 如梦誓言盛开的花园, 想着你给我的每一天.呼吸都是你的思念,想着你曾经对我说:再见的人总会再见面,也终于落下这...

What Pictures Do

Letting the pictures telling the story instead of me doing it in words.

THAI's First A380 Delivery Ceremony


Join us for the live webcast of THAI's first A380 delivery on Thursday 27 at 9:00 AM GMT

(11:00 AM local time in Toulouse, France / 4:00 PM local time in Bangkok, Thailand)

In this video clip, see how the no. 1 A380 for THAI has taken shape at Airbus production facilities in advance of its milestone delivery.

Safe And Sound

The gloomy nights of autumn, the breeze was cold and lovely. I was on my way back home. It has been a tiring and eventful day for me. I made myself a promise to set my priorities right. But after all the achievements today, yet I felt that emptiness within. I should get used to all these emotions I told myself. But somehow I was being attacked yet again by all these. I was in the tube while I was pushing all these away. I took up my phone, and I actually text TK. I wished that he is still here. Minutes went by and nothing. I thought that I just gotta live with it.

As I put my phone back into my pocket, TK replied. 
Location? Be at the station. I'm on my way to pick you up. Hold on there.
I replied and got off the next station. As bad as I know these wasn't right, I knew I couldn't do it myself. The least the thought that TK never take my sickness as something to be noticed. My mind was just blank. I couldn't think of anything at all. Weather it was right or wrong, nothing seems matters. 20 minutes later, TK came along. He helped me up from my chair and into his car. We didn't even say anything at all. I kept the silence going. Once he was in the car, I looked at him, I just couldn't help it. My tears just came tearing down. TK held me close and say : It doesn't matter. At least you still got me around. I know. I know what that song meant to you. I heard and I knew. I was waiting and hoping you would need my company.

I didn't say anything. Driving towards East of the city, it was just silence. TK grab my hands, but I held it away after a while. It didn't felt right, but he pull my hands over again. And I let it be. He is someone who meant so much to me. And yet, I don't ever want him to feel used. We had this conversation in the past. Even he didn't mind at all but it never felt right. I remembered when I told him we gotta stop what we were doing, he didn't want it to. TK is a strong player kinda guy. To him, it doesn't meant anything whenever he was with others. But when he was with me, we were two connected. We both felt the same way, it wasn't anything romantic but the chemistry between two souls we just right. He didn't wanted to tie down me or even himself. At one point we both cherish that chemistry and let it lead on. Until I felt it wasn't right for me to keep doing so. I still remembered the last time when at the same position that we are now, He felt broken. For the first time I saw his tears. And all he said to me was I was selfish to take away part of him away without even telling him why. The reason of me doing him right by not continue sleeping with him wasn't acceptable to him. He didn't wanted any labels, he didn't wanted anything from me. All he wished for was the company.

Through out the journey home, non of us talked. He held me up and help me back on my chair. I am just tired I suppose after all the emotions turmoil that I was hiding away from. He place was just the same as it was a year back. Small cozy and homey. He held me again towards the small beanbag like bed near the fire place. Yet, this time, it was him who was holding me. It was a long time. It was usually me sitting behind him and hold him close to my chest. But till now, no one break the silence. I really appreciate TK. He understood everything that is going through me. Sitting there, the touches of our skins were like silks flowing through waters. It felt safe and right. Snuggle my head by his neck, he look at me, didn't smile. But I understood what he wanna conveyed. I shut my eyes feeling the warm fire burning around us. His fingers locked around mine. At that moment hence, nothing really matters to any of us. We were home. We were safe and sound. It was only one night. But one night that cling the past over the future. The emptiness vanished, not just for me, but the both of us.

First Static Wing For Airbus A350 Arrives in Toulouse

This 32 metres long by six metres wide wing with missing chunks is the first static test wing to arrive at the final assembly line for the medium sized Airbus A350 which is due to enter service in the second half of 2014.

The caption doesn’t make it clear if that is the rest of the static test assembly A350 in the background, and the gaudy structure near the end of whatever it is in the background doesn’t appear in all the photos on the Airbus site and appears to be part of the assembly cage rather than the vertical stabiliser.

Nor is it clear if this is also the wing that will tested to destruction or stressed to a point where it bears 150% of the designed maximum load without breaking or delaminating.

The twin engined A350 family is substantially constructed from reinforced carbon fibre panels and other composite components and while it is often described as the Airbus equivalent to Boeing’s 787 line, it offers slightly wider cabins and higher seating capacities, and is constructed in a more conventional manner than the Dreamliners in which a mandril is used in building up layers of woven composite tape to create the fuselage sections of those jets.

In this market, Singapore Airlines will be operating both A350-900s and 787-9s, while its Asia hemisphere rival Cathay Pacific has opted for both A350-900s and the larger and longer ranged A350-1000s and AirAsiaX intends taking A350-900s from late 2015, and flying them between Australia and European and Asia cities via Kuala Lumpur. Qatar Airways has like Singapore Airlines, bought both brands of plastic airliners, but has not given any clear indication as when it will deploy either type on its Australia services.

The main operators of Dreamliners that the public will likely bracket as A350 competitors are, apart from Singapore Airlines flying both types, set to be Jetstar (787-8s), Air New Zealand (787-9 launch customer) and China Southern, which is currently taking delivery of 787-8s and has said it is planning to use them on flights to Australian cities in the near future, and sooner than anyone else, with transfers to its A380s at Guangzhou for flights to London.

Whatever way the information is cut, the A350s and 787s are going to play a growing role for foreign carriers active in the Australian market, with Qantas no longer holding firm orders for the 787-9 but saying it remains able to access well priced options or purchase rights for the Boeings as the dates for converting them fall due.

Begin Again

This song is just perfect. Just feel like sharing with everyone. I won't talk much about it. I will let the lyrics and the melody tells you the story. I really could relate to this! Not romantically, but as of empowerment. Country Taylor is back! My new tune to loop on my iTunes!


Took a deep breath in the mirror
He didn’t like it when I wore high heels, but I do
Turned the lock and put my headphones on
He always said he didn’t get this song but I do, I do

Walked in expecting you’d be late
But you got here early
And you stand and wait
And I walk to you
You pulled my chair out and helped me
And you don’t know how nice that is
But I do

And you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
I think it’s strange that you think I’m funny ’cause he never did
I’ve been spending the last 8 months thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again

You said you never met one girl
Who has as many James Taylor records as you
But I do
We tell stories and you don’t know why I’m coming off a little shy
But I do

But you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
I think it’s strange that you think I’m funny ’cause he never did
I’ve been spending the last 8 months thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again

And we walk down the block to my car
And I almost brought him up
But you start to talk about the movies
That your family watches every single Christmas
And I won’t talk about that
For the first time, what’s passed is past

‘Cause you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
I think it’s strange that you think I’m funny ’cause he never did
I’ve been spending the last 8 months thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
Then on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again

Standing Here

Was tweeting with Mr D just now. And I realize that there is so much stress he is under and I somehow wish I knew what to do about it. No matter what I wanna say, I know it will not make him feel better in many ways. I think in a lot of ways, I kinda understood how that feels. Sometimes, whenever anyone ask me about my condition, it just sucks! I know it is just concern and care. But I couldn't help it to think that whatever that comes out from my mouth, surely that face of "I pity you" is there. And there is nothing they can do to make it better.

Whenever that happens, I am just being me, I shut down totally and really do not wanna even talk. I know it is ironic, but sometimes, I am still human and I still got emotions. It really sucks whenever someone treat you like a patient. And I really hated that! I just couldn't really help it!

Sigh.. Anyway, I guess somehow I am kinda giving in to the pain I am experiencing day by day. Gladly that Never Gone has been released. And I am really thankful for all the support! Thank you for bringing it to number one on iTunes! It is really honored to have work with such wonderful team and people! And Colton killed it! I think he really sounded at his best!

And since everything will have a full stop at the moment, I think I am gonna focus more on recovering. I know, I always put my work before anything. But like what I just said, for a longer journey, I need to focus on recovery.

And I did a few gift shopping getting ready to be back in KL. I'm still looking for Ryan's purple T with XS size! A challenge! Got Andrew'a and MK's. Still need to get for Byron, Garend, Cornflakes and Rainer. I hope when I see them, I will be on my feet instead of wheels. I miss you guys a lot!

To my bestie! I dedicate this song to you. No matter where we are. No matter what happen, This song speaks all what I wanna tell you. I'm not gonna talk about it and make this post crappy. :) Love you loads buddy! I really miss you!

I think Imma gonna stop talking and let you guys check the song out! Please guys, if you guys like it, get it on iTunes! Don't let good music die off. We have done our part to give the best to the world. Keep this spirit going! But I am really thankful for all the love and support given till today! I really do not know how much I could say to thank you guys. It really meant the world to me. Love you guys much.

Boeing Delivers United Airlines' First 787 Dreamliner

United Airlines announced today the delivery of the airline's first 787 Dreamliner. United is the first airline in North America to take delivery of the 787.

Jeff Smisek, president and CEO of United, said, "As the North American launch customer, we are delighted to be getting our first 787 Dreamliner. As we continue to build the world's leading airline, we are excited for our customers and co-workers to experience this game-changing aircraft."

United has announced it will initially use the 787 on international routes to Africa, Asia and Europe. The airline will conduct temporary domestic flights before transitioning its 787 fleet to international service in late 2012.

"This 787 delivery represents the continuation in the more than 80-year partnership between our two companies," said Ray Conner, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "United now begins a new chapter with the 787 Dreamliner, the most technologically advanced commercial jetliner ever built. It reinforces United's commitment to be the world's leading airline by providing unmatched fuel efficiency and passenger comfort."

Made from composite materials, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner is the first mid-size airplane capable of flying long-range routes and will allow airlines to open new, non-stop routes preferred by the traveling public. In addition to providing airlines with unprecedented fuel economy and low operating costs, the 787 features a host of new technologies that greatly enhance the passenger experience.

This delivery marks the first of 50 Dreamliners that United has on order. The airline's 787 cabin is configured with 36 seats in United BusinessFirst, 72 seats in United Economy Plus and 111 seats in United Economy. Customers will be more comfortable with improved lighting, bigger windows, larger overhead bins, lower cabin altitude and enhanced ventilation systems, among other features.

United's first Dreamliner is expected to arrive in Houston later this week to begin a month-long training and certification program including non-commercial flights to each of United's domestic hubs.
