Ben Harper - Another Lonely Day

Set The Fire To The Third Bar - Snow Patrol ft. Martha Wainwright

"Set The Fire To The Third Bar"
(feat. Martha Wainwright)

I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from 'A' to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths that I see
I touch the place where I'd find your face
My fingers in creases of distant dark places

I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science

Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

After I have traveled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
and I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms 

Lingering

It's scary and depressed, and desperate knowing what lie ahead waiting for oneself in the future. You've seen it or predict it, you'd be able to change it but what if you did not want to change? And yet, it's torturing to live with it.
There is no what if in this case, I just did not want to change anything yet. I do not know why do I want to preserve this memory and the past to live with me in the future, but somehow, that is so far the most comforting to have at the moment.
Would you cry over the lost of something you've never had?

The pathway

Remembering how calm my parent were during the bad times we went through and never to let us know and feel disturb or scare. I wonder if I could be like them one day.
From actions, they tough us to be ourselves, to be brave, to embrace the little things that we were given and earn. To understand one whom is going through stages that might not fall in our radar.

Couple of times, I gave up. I gave away the path I was hesitate to choose. I was undecided till time decide them for me. And I'm regret, yes, I still am.
Questioning myself why I gave up certain opportunities before that were given to set up a new stage of life. Is there something that I'm waiting for? Is there anything else beside this?
I'm anxious to know and hope that there will be more.

For the one whom had asked me for opportunity and I gave you up, thank you and I'm sorry for gave you up.
To you, whom I still believe in, thank you for asking before. Now might not be the perfect path, but I'm glad we meet again.

I am learning to accept those decisions and results, it's not easy. For any of you whom find it hard to do so, I hear you. Let's move on and stay positive for a better path that we are moving to, for another opportunity that is always around us. Don't occupied yourself with things that you cannot change, accept and learn them. Keep searching, keep seeking, keep living.

With the recent travelings and events, I learned to love myself a little bit more. That I was given opportunity to explore life, to learn, to taste and most of all value and remember what happiness is.

Another small step of getting to know where I wanna be. A small step but a step.

At Kiraku Japanese Restaurant

Recently Cyberjaya development grows really fast, lots of resident areas and shop lots. New restaurants were introduced, some are good and some aren't especially Tappers (they are horrible base on my opinion)

Today I visited a new Japanese restaurant at Shafbury business centre. Cozy and comfy, service was ok, staffs are polite and food quality was not bad as well. But it has Cyberjaya's pricing, the limiting and have-to-pay-pricing, a.k.a quite expensive. But I supposed it was a trade between driving out to bigger town and spending money on petrol, toll, parking and time.

Love their decoration!

Maguro steak, tuna steak which intentionally cook and taste like red meat steak. It's pretty good.

I ordered maguro steak, beef and tempora set, and Saba shioyaki; and the bill came RM 132.

Food: 7/10
Service: 7.5/10
Environment: 8/10
Pricing: 6/10
Overall rating: 7/10

The recollection

Since early last year, I have only to remember to stock up hard liquor and beers... And recently I'm craving for the long lasting flavor and full mouth bitter flavor from wine. So it's time to stock up.

So last Sunday I finished up the whole bottle, with a little help from a friend though :), of a full bodies Nederburge Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz 2010 from South Africa. It was a pretty selection.

Claret Chateau de Poriton Cabernet Sauvignon, France, a little too sour for me though. Would be nice with red medium rare meat. That reminded me of the grilled wagyu beef I had in my last trip to Kota Kinabalu.

So I ended up bought a couple more bottles to endure the taste a little longer.

Added to my very own minibar which locates in my bedroom for easy access whenever I feel like it.

Ahhh what a good feeling by just looking at them.

Anyhow, Chinese New Year is around the corner and I would like to wish everyone a prosperous and blessing year a head.
Till then happy holidays and have a safe journey wherever you are heading to ;)

Breakin' A Sweat

I came upon one of the Skrillex's song, and I kinda like it; I mean it's good for running. I will keep it on loop when I go for a run. So I look up just to see what is the lyric like, well, just like every other of Skrillex's songs, not much in content. I know I sounded silly now, but look here, that's all in the entire song.

"Breakin' A Sweat"

(with The Doors)

I'm breaking a sweat - It's alright!

I'm breaking a sweat - I'm sayin' it's alright!

I'm breaking a sweat - It's alright!

I'm breaking a sweat - Come on baby light my fire!

I'm breaking a sweat - It's alright!

I'm breaking a sweat - I'm sayin' it's alright!

I'm breaking a sweat - It's alright!

I'm breaking a sweat - Woo! That's good! 

Anyway, here is the music video, enjoy!

A regular year end note

Today last year, I've lost quite a lot of things. Things that I've earned through my blood and sweat. But they were just things. The one thing that I've lost and regret the most is that I have lost my trust and guarded confident to live at peace, for a few months I wasn't. And not long after that I've lost my great aunt and a friend, regretfully that I have not spend more time and tell them enough that I love them.

Today this year, the very now, I have earned most of them back. Through helps, supports and blood and sweat. Though I have to admit, most of them with the greatest helps and supports from family, friends and colleagues.

I couldn't be more proud and grateful to live among them, to have learned and walk shoulder to shoulder with them. I am thankful for as such great companions as I have grown up and to live my own story, those helps are ones that would be mentioning every chapter of the life story book, my very own.

This won't take long, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for your kind words, your supports, your advice, your guidance, and your present when I utmost needed you. All of you, even the ones that I dislike, well you will not know that you are, however, I would also want to thank you. Thank you for showing me my weakness in dealing with difficult people like you and make me realize that I too, sometime, being difficult myself for others. It would be a great pain in the behind as I felt the same when I have to deal with you.
Thank you for showing me that I am not the worse and thank you for showing me that it's not that bad just to learn to endure others' characteristic and personality or even attempt to change you.


I have not lived a second not being grateful to have you around. Thank you.
And to top that, my sister had delivered a beautiful baby girl and my brother got married to a beautiful and sweet woman. And I am still here alive!


Well, till we meet again, a very happy new to you all, and to all a wonderful holiday and greatest start 2013!
