To Travel Is Better Than To Arrive

Wednesday 27 June 2012

“Some famous guy once said, ‘To travel is better than to arrive‘. and I was like ‘What!?’ Well, because I used to think that there was only one path to take to where you wanna get to be in life. But if you choose that one path, that doesn’t mean you have to abandon all the others. I realized that it’s actually what happens along the way….that counts. The stumbles or the falls. The friendships. It’s the journey. Not the destination. You just gotta -I guess- trust the future will work itself out like it’s supposed to.”
-Moose (Adam G. Sevani)


This quote was taken from the movie Step Up 3D.  I had my presentation in lecture this evening, and the quote above was used by my group as the main theme for our talk . 




 I like the quote “To travel is better than to arrive” because it truly is about the journey we take in life. Sometimes the journey isn’t what we expected. I, for one, know that first hand. However, it’s the knowledge we gain, the people we meet, and the mistakes we learn from that gets us to where we want to be in life.


In my opinion, when we just have the destination in mind it skews the direction we want to go in and the way we ultimately perceive things. By only seeing the destination in mind we don’t realize the obstacles we’re going to have to go through to get there. I think this quote truly defines that we won’t get anywhere in life without having to work hard for whatever it is we want to achieve or where we want to get. We WILL have to work hard and put in the effort to learn. We WILL meet people, make friendships, and build relationships–some that last and some that don’t, unfortunately. And we WILL make mistakes. With those mistakes (and failures) we’ll have to learn to pick ourselves back up.


What makes life so precious? It’s the journey we go through. What we experience and what we gain from those experiences while headed towards the destination. The end result.


Right now I am travelling on a road where it will lead me to my dreams. Though what I am going to face while travelling is a question mark. I still hope I could endure them all with faith and courage.

Doomsday

Saturday 23 June 2012
Had a dream last night. Kinda scary. I dreamed about doomsday. Or in other word, end of the world.
I was in a restaurant, funny enough, the restaurant was situated somewhere in a Western country. Probably Hungry Jack, Subway, Taco Time or Upper Crust.

I ordered some chips with a group of friends ( I have no idea who they were) and sat down. Then something big happened. A guy was hit on the thighs by a sword flew from nowhere. Disgusting, nauseating as I looked at the pool of blood. We escaped from the restaurant.

I got into a car, a Hilux I remember.  I was at the passenger seat, fidgeting, wondering what would happen next. Suddenly, like a bolt from the blue, balls of fire fall from the dark sky. 


Every body ran for their lives. Nothing can preclude the fire balls from hitting the earth. Fire gutted everything on the surface. Thick smoke billowing from the burning bushes was visible.
We panicked as the driver beside me was suddenly found dead. I was asked to take over the place and drove along.

And then, I woke up.
Happy to find myself so comfortably laying on my bed.

Doomsday is definitely near. But the question is, are you ready for the Lord's Kingdom ?

就这样决定吧!

Wednesday 20 June 2012
当我 18 岁时,
我们在一起,
我们牵着手走过每一条街,
我们见了彼此的家人,
获取他们的认同。

当我 24 岁时,
我们还在一起,
我会挽起留了很久的长发,

做你最美丽的新娘。







当我 27 岁时,
我们还在一起,
都很喜欢小孩子的我们,
一起期待迎接那个加入我们小家庭新生命的将临。





当我 30 岁时,我们在一起,
我们一起用心经营我们的家,
你白天在外打拼,我在家为你熬汤。
你放工回家,我们陪着孩子们玩闹,谈笑。















当我 35 岁时,
我们还在一起,
或许偶尔会因为生活上的烦闷小斗嘴,
可是心里是温暖的,幸福的。












当我 40 岁时,
我们还在一起,
就算激情已不再,一切归于平淡,
嘴巴上彼此嫌麻烦,
但眼神中关怀那么满。














当我 50 岁时,
我们还在一起,
孩子离开我们去追寻各自的幸福,
但依然有我陪在你身边,
晚霞时分一起漫步公园。















当我 60 岁时,
我们还在一起,
是时候停下脚步歇息。
去做我们想做的事,到我们想去的地方。














当我 70 岁时,
我们还在一起。
孙子们绕膝叫我们 ”爷爷!” , “奶奶!”
但我还是当你是一个不会照顾自己的孩子,
呵护着你。
















当我 76 岁时,
我们还在一起。
我们要庆祝金婚纪念日,
不需要什么烛光晚餐,
我会下厨做你最爱吃的,让你觉得窝心。




















当我 80 岁时,
我们还在一起。
我们会坐在码头岸边,看日落。
虽然都不知道生命会持续到那一天,
可是因为身边有彼此的陪伴,
我们不再畏惧死亡。














我不求些什么,因为拥有你,就拥有了全世界。
我这一生,就这样决定吧!:)

A Year Of Love

Saturday 16 June 2012
Today , 17th of June, is a day of passionate joy and worthy to be remembered.
We have been holding each other's hands for a year. :)

I will not say that it is easy for us to walk through it, but we made it. There are no perfect relationships. Only two person who stays firm together because they give each other something that nobody else could.
I gave baby all my heart, and he gave me his care and smiles that could melt me instantly. That is something that we both cannot find from elsewhere. :)
Despite the bitterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr distance that separates us for a few months before we can meet again, we went through it with faith and love.

Though missing him could be very painful at times, yearning to hug him tight, but whenever I think of him telling me that our separation now is only temporary and that we have forever to spend together, I would smile and whisper in my heart " I will wait. " 

Great thanks to Viber, Whatsapp and Skype. They helped us go through the temporary bitterness. We had phone talks every night, we laughed and we chatted like there is no tomorrow. 
If conversation was the lyrics, laughter was the music, I guess we made the time spent together a melody that could be replayed over and over without getting stale.

On this very special day, roses and reservation at the restaurant is unnecessary. All we need is LOVE. :)
Love doesn't mean anything if you're not willing to make a commitment, and you have to think not only about what you want, but about what he wants. Not just now, but in the future.

Baby you have always been special to me. You are my guide to light up my way, my strength to keep me moving on, my pillar to lean on and my happy pill to shoo my gloominess. But of all, you are an angel sent by God to stay by my side.

Thank you baby. You are my everything.
I love you now, and forever-more.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Friday 15 June 2012



Waiting alone at the departure hall back to.Kuching. Time flies. Like whoosh! Really fast.

I still remember the day I checked in to depart to Perth; I remember the butterfly flutters I get when I see baby's yellow car waiting outside Perth International Airport; I remember the icey cold wind that blows through my hair that winter morning; I remember pinching his cheeks and dragging him out of bed every morning; I remember the heavenly taste of the juicy steak he cooked to satisfy my hunger; I remember our very own cosy cinema at home with hot chrysanthemum tea and Smiths' chips; I remember his every smile and movements that rings in my mind; I remember the tickling pokes he gives me which made me erupt in gales of laughter.

I miss him.

Frankly, I hate separation. It hurts so bad that tears would sting every time the  sensation hit my button. A feeling so bad I couldn't think of ways to dislodge it. My heart has been compressed into a small lump of rock, but  heavy as an anvil enough to choke at my throat.


But all these are necessary for us to meet again.


A long distance relationship is powerful. It shapes and moulds us into individuals that come to cherish one another more, to miss one another more. I would never give up. We have forever to spend with each other.  :)


Till we meet again, I know that somewhere over the rainbow, you are there missing me too.

Gossips.

Friday 1 June 2012
People who gossips about you, they are usually looking for something to kill their boredom; or maybe they find your life a whole lot more interesting than theirs; or they envy your perfect picture; or perhaps they are half insane.

Yeah we are human. There are times where we cannot avoid gossiping about other people.
So it is best that I close my eyes, shut my ears and play dumb.
You cannot hurt me with your actions. :)

Go ahead. I know no fear.
