Love Thyself

If you expect people to truly love you, love yourself first.
If you want people to accept you, accept yourself first (flaws and whatnot)
If you yearn for the future, let go of the past first.
If you wish for happiness, be happy for your loved one first.

All In One (Several More Quotes from my Facebook)

Life's teachings are multi-faceted. Face it with calmness and accept it wholeheartedly.

you can influence a person, but you have no rights to control a person. everyone have their own mind to think and decide. let them use it.

I change to reverse gear only when I'm driving. Not when I'm living. Hold on and keep moving forward..

No matter how many mistakes we made in our life, it's only life's lesson for us to learn. There are bound to be regrets (admit it!!), but it's what makes us who we are today.

the lake looks deep, but in actual fact, it's shallow.. u expect things to be good, but turns out it's the opposite...

to avoid disappointment, try not to give too much hope on it. the more u expect things to come your way, the further it moves away from you.

Precious small things

when you think you have lost everthing, remember that the small things you've taken for granted is forever waiting for you to embrace them. Why push them away in the first place?

No Pretenses Please

you can be courteous and friendly, you can be kind and full of emphathy, but if it's all pretending, then you're just plain ugly... (wow.. it rhymes.. hahaha)... :D

Remember Yourself

river flows in one direction, but it can branch out in multitude of passage. and it all flows back to the sea in the end..
life's like a river, you flows and branched out, make choices in your life, but remember who and where u came from. It's forever within you.. remember that. Peace out..

don't but..

don't hear, but listen, don't see, but observe
don't talk, but speak, don't cry, but smile
don't take, but give, don't die, but live
don't wish, but think, don't hate, but love
alas, said is easier than done.. well.. don't give up, but try and try again.. ;)

Let it go..

no point in continuing a path to relive the hurt that was felt. let it burned to ashes, with not a single ember remains. let the rain wash over it, just to lessen the pain. spread your wings anew and begin once again.

My Poems & Quotes

Orightee.. u must be wondering, how come so many poems and quotes in one day.
These are my writings in Facebook. Sometimes when inspiration comes, i just wrote it there, either on my Notes (Poems) or on my wall (quotes). There are some, ahem.. request from my friends. Only 2 request actually. I wrote 2 poems (short and long) for one of my friend, since she wants to see how good i am at it. hahaha. the other was for a friend who got inspired of writing poems and quotes. so asked me to write about pain and sadness (shattered heart).
So, there you have it. Not that i'm sad and miserable every day ok. don't get it wrong.

Sweet Nothings

sweet nothings are pleasant to the ears, but are unpleasant to the heart when the truth comes out.

Past Mistake

i hate myself for the mistake i've made, but i love myself for the strength i've gained, and i love myself for not making the same mistake again.

Love (My Meaning)

Love is selfless, love is pain but also a healer
Of the soul within for it weeps for it's owner
Love knows no hatred, knows no evil
Love only knows hope and surrender

From Lovers to Friend (also a request from friend)

Since we're here now, let us see each other
Not as lovers, but as individual, as strangers
What do you see, what do you sense
Is it a beginning, or is it the end?

Let us walk away, in opposite direction
And ponder on "what if" and "what now"
Let us not look back on each others' direction
For, what if now there is sadness

When we meet again, one day in future
Can we smile together with ease and no pain
Can we talk like friend and without burden
Can we walk away, and smile for a friend

Since we're here now, let us see each other
Not as old lovers, but as old friends
And smiled at each other, and joke around
Of the life we're living, of the joy we've found

(a request from a friend. i know.. sad love poem.. yet again. but it's a request, since she said i'm good at it. hahaha)

Shattered Heart (a request from friend)

i see my reflection, shattered reflection
pieces of glasses of myself
i see my agony, hapless agony
scorching my heart like wild fire
will you not mend my broken pieces?
will you not tame my agony's fire
or will you just watch, as you passes by?
how i hope you glance back and smile.

(this poem is done, on behalf of a friend. feel like sharing. :) enjoy.

Hawaiian Hula Dance in Penang??

Okie.. suddenly I have a craving for hula dance. I'm starting my belly dance class soon, actually this coming Saturday (it's a beginner's class), but I was told that it's totally different. Which, I think it is because from the previous class I've attended, beginner to advance, the movements are just the basic ones, there's no flutter, layering and such.. I believe in this new instructor, so hopefully I'm not wrong. ;)

Anyway, back to my hula craze, I googled up if there's any hula dance class in Penang, but alas, none. Sad huh? Well, I can always learn it from youtube or ehow video. It's more or less a tiny bit similar to belly dance movement (in a way) so I think it's not that hard. Riiiight??

I hope I can find a class, really want to dance the hula dance.. it's so fun. Maybe I can ask my new instructor, maybe she got a lead or something. hehehe...

Socrates

Lately I've been crazy about quotes and idioms. Words of wisdom, inspirational sayings.. all those stuff. I chance upon Socrates. I've read about his life in wiki (briefly), and it kinds of sadden me. I don't know whether he's ignorant about his own intellect or he's just being humble about it. Or he's a conceited man. Who knows.. only him I guess.
His famous quote was "I know that I know nothing". I felt that there's a hidden meaning behind this saying. Different people have different conclusion about it. It's a debatable sentence.. no?? Or maybe at that time when he made that remark, he actually felt that way.. ?? hmm....

For me, that phrase suggest that he's a very intelligent and creative human being, and he knows that. I think he questioned himself plenty of time. Am I that good a philosopher? Why do they look up at me? The quotes he made, it may sound simple, but the truth is deep. I really admire him a lot. He made so many quotes that really makes me think about my own actions and also the society as a whole. Human behaviours.. so many whys, and hows, and huh?.. hahaha..

I'm very curious about human thoughts.. this thing called psychology. There's a saying, "curiosity killed the cat". Well, for me, curiosity doesn't kill the cat, coz cats have 9 lives. Still got 8 lives to go.. :p hehehehe...

Ok.. i'm done.. peace out.. ;)

For you to know.. (but forever unknown)

Now that it's over, can you just leave me be
No matter how deep it is, there's no point
To linger at my side, to pursue what's not right
For you, for me and for us in the long run

Have you ever thought what's best for me?
Or you only thought what's best for you?
Compromising on the relationship is gone
When you're the one who decides even though it's wrong

Could have work things out, if I want to
But alas, the tiredness has reached it's boundary
For I have no direction in my life, as I am
Preoccupied with the few times we're able to share

Will you be able to change for me?
Is it worth your time to change for me?
The answer will forever be "No"
For you are superior, and I wish not be in control
For one day, you will blew up and explode

Slowly I have sorted out my life again
The emptiness I felt no longer seems important
Changes need be done, new chapter has begun
Life is beautiful, life is fun, if only we want it, it can be done

Momentary greediness in your life, to satisfy your being
To feel happiness, when the happiness is an imitation
Do you really need me? Or am I a necessity
Or an expedient for the loneliness you felt?

For what is worth, I felt used, betrayed by you
The meaning of Love for you, does not resonate
With what I know of Love and it's magic
We are not the same as we thought we were

The pain is gone, but loneliness will be at my side
I think of you everyday but the love is not the same
It's time to move on, find true happiness in oneself
Be not a bitter soul, for love is yours forever in your home
Embrace it and be happy, and smile when you think of me
