"Joyce is such a sad person, isn't it?"
Don't-lah misunderstand me.
Been wanting to post this song up few days back but I realized that other post is more important - like, about FOOD!
Just let me assure you that my sucky days are over. Am perfectly fine now... :)
Enjoy this song, and the meaningful lyrics.
Bonnie Raitt - I Can't Make You Love Me
Found another version sung by Adele live @ The Royal Albert Hall in 2011 during the iTunes Festival
Adele - I Can't Make You Love Me (Live) Itunes Festival 2011 HD
Bonnie Raitt I Can't Make You Love Me Lyrics
Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

Overheard this song playing
Caramel Band-Tinggal Kenangan (Official Video).mp4
Caramel - Jauh Kau Pergi (Tinggal Kenangan) lyrics
Pernah ada rasa cinta
Ingin ku lupakan semua tentang dirimu
Chorus:-
Oh kekasih
Repeat chorus
Masih terlintas di mataku
Gambaran wajahmu yang kini tinggal kenangan
Ingin ku lupakan semua tentang dirimu
Repeat chorus x2
I cry for the time that you were almost mine,
I cry for the memories I've left behind.
I cry for the pain, the lost, the old, the new,
I cry for the times I thought I had you.
You want me to act like we've never kissed,
you want to forget,
pretend we've never met,
and I've tried and I've tried,
but I haven't forget yet.
I'd like to believe that I'll wake up one morning
and not miss you anymore.
I'll finally understand that when you broke my heart
it was for a reason,
one I just don't understand yet,
but when I do,
I'll know that you messed up,
and not me.

A song to play while blogging / reading this...
Adele - Make You Feel My Love
It's crazy how one minute you are making all these plans and promises with someone and then the next minute they are out of our life.
All it takes is one moment, one word, one misunderstanding, or one unfortunate incident to create a ridiculously large amount of doubts and pain.
It is not easy to forget a person. The words, the feelings, and the anticipations that you two have once built stays forever.
It digs holes into your heart, and it simply hurts.
It hurts the most when the person that made you feel special yesterday can make you feel unwanted today.
No words can describe how I feel.
While I sit down, recalling that silly cheeky smile of his.
Recalling the small talk, lame jokes, and all the laughter.
I can go days without talking to him, months without seeing him,
but not a second goes by that I don't think about him.
All the memories cheers me up, but hurts at the same time.
I wish I had a delete button in my life to delete some memories and feelings.
To know what I once had, all these happiness in my hand.
And it slipped away just like that.
The pain I have, no heart can bear, flesh or steel.
At times I hope he could just tell me from the start that he's only gonna break my heart.
Then I wouldn't had loved. And not loved too much.
But you know what?
We all got to move on one day.
Yes, every now and then people get broken hearted.
You don't see them stucked in a failed relationship for years. Some does, but WHAT FOR?
It doesn't make sense to let go of something you had, but it also doesn't make sense to hold on when there's actually nothing there.
What's the point of reminiscing when you know the person is no longer worthwhile, when they're no longer who they used to be, when their heart is somewhere else?
Sometimes all I wanted is to know that he still care for me, sitting there thinking about me, or prolly certain things may remind him of me?
Sometimes, it's not about missing someone, but it's wondering if they're missing you.
Do you think they will?
Frankly, they don't.
Ever since September 2012, we ignored each other and pretended like the other person doesn't exist. Deep down, I know it wasn't supposed to end like this. But what can I do if my non-existence in his life is somehow a blessing for him and his reconciliation with his ex-gf.
So give up. Give up hope. Give up on him. Not because I don't care anymore. But because I realized that he doesn't care at all.
Think of what he may feel when he read this?
Is he's gonna care, or feel guilty about my hopeless love for him?
He's just gonna laugh at me for being here still stucked in memories of him while he has another girl in his arms.
LET IT GO, MOVE ON AND LOOK FORWARD!!!
I'm looking forward to a relationship.
Not a perfect relationship, because perfect is impossible to have.
I want a trustworthy, honest, loyal and loving relationship.
I don't want a man who promises to reach for the starts and bring me the moon.
I just want a man who has the depth to stand by me, no matter my moods and shortcomings.
And cares for my likes and dislikes.
I need a man who is strong enough to be faithful to me, and who can promise me a lifetime of love.
I want imperfections to create some heat, fire, arguments and laughter.
I don't want perfection.
I want worth it.
I don't need a PERFECT ONE, I just need someone who can make me feel that I'M THE ONLY ONE.
So here's to girls who love someone that doesn't love them back.
The hopeless romantics and the daydreamers.
The girls that fall and get hurt, but still stand up smiling.
To girls still hope even though they have been disappointed,
To girls who still believe even though they've been betrayed,
To girls who still love even though they've been hurt before,
Here's to girls that will someday find the happy ending they dream about.
"It has been said that time heals all wound. I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue, and the pain lessens, but is never gone."
- Rose Kennedy
"If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward."
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
"The past should be the past. It can destroy the future. Live life for what tomorrow has to offer. Not for what yesterday has taken away."
"Don't you ever REGRET knowing someone in your life. Good people will give you happiness, bad people will give you experience, while the worst people will give you a lesson. And the best people will give you MEMORIES."
Cheers to 2013. A year that I need to take the extra mile in doing myself proud.
Everybody help me to "jia you jia you" ohh~~~ :)
By this time, the song may have finished playing. One of my favourite song. Originally sung by Bob Dylan. But I love when Garth Brooks sings it. Then, Bryan Ferry from Britians Got Talent make a very good version if it too. Am sharing Adele version in 2008. No matter who sings it, it remain a good song.
Meaningful lyrics below...
"Make You Feel My Love"
When the rain is blowing in your face,
And the whole world is on your case,
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.
When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
And there is no one there to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love.
I know you haven't made your mind up yet,
But I would never do you wrong.
I've known it from the moment that we met,
No doubt in my mind where you belong.
I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue,
I'd go crawling down the avenue.
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love.
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret.
Though winds of change are blowing wild and free,
You ain't seen nothing like me yet.
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true.
Nothing that I wouldn't do.
Go to the ends of the Earth for you,
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times, during those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for your mistakes, they will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you are tired and weary, because it means you have made a difference.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings.
I will, and can be stronger than yesterday!!! Gam ba de!!!
A self-motivation post in the morning, with hope that I'll feel energized throughout the day. I need OOMMPHHH!!!
...and I'm still very much grateful of my life, regardless how hard the challenges it throws at me!

I got my own flaws, u have yours.
When you have one finger pointing at me, remember you have four fingers directing at yourself.
So give everyone a break, and give them time to fix their own weakness, while you observe and may realize that you have some weaknesses of your own too.
Learn to accept the fact that nobody is perfect, nobody will talk / act / think like you, AND that everyone is different - that's what makes this world unique and diverse!
Learn to talk less. Complain less. Gossip less.
Coz the more you condemn others, your sins increases too.

Opportunity for me to earn more money came rolling in March when SP Setia announced another round of Ideas Campaign. I knew that certain reward will be given if an idea is being picked. But I didn't know the type of reward and how much would it be.
Looking into the Ideas Campaign, this time they asked for development concept in which specific details are required.
Difficult??
YOU BET IT IS!!!
In that one whole month of burning midnight oil, reactivating my creative brain cells that have been dead for so long, I have successfully produced 4 proposals and another proposal on 4-seasons initiated by Vince.
These 5 ideas are contributed by friends and family members who have given creative input ranges from exclusive bungalows at Bangsar to castle-like hotel in the outskirt of South Jakarta and even a high-end condo that has infinity sky pool, sky bar, outdoor mini golf at Indonesia.
In a total of 82 ideas submitted in that campaign, one of my proposal namely Setia Heritage has been picked!
Setia Heritage is a proposed peranakan township compromises of hotel, apartment, and shops that are designed based on baba nyonya architecture. Came from family of babas and nyonyas, I truly hope that this proposal will be executed one day, so that I will have a chance to visit and live in a peranakan township which my grandparents have bragged about.
Setia Heritage was awarded as Good Idea and the reward is a monetary sum of RM1,000 plus a framed certificate. An effort which was initially pushed by thoughts of '$$$' suddenly turned into a satisfaction I've never imagined!
Today when the CEO present me with the cert, I felt happy, proud and was shouting in my heart "I DID IT!!!"
Regardless if the achievement is big or small, I am happy that I've grab the opportunity, put in all the effort, and with luck, I managed to taste the fruit it bears. This time particularly, the luck came from knowing good friends and having helpful family members that are constantly giving input in the ideas I've generated.
It kind of reminds me of my winning in Red FM Facebook contest. I do believe that every effort we put in do counts, and it is always 90% effort, 10% luck.
Some quotes to ponder upon..
“In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result.”
“Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”
“You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however.”
“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
“Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment; full effort is full victory.”
“Hard work doesn't guarantee success, but improves its chances.”

Some thoughts I have before heading to bed..
Always be grateful of what we have no matter what is it. Think of glass as half full instead of half empty and then learn to appreciate what is in the glass.
I looked into the mirror n found that I've aged. But still, I might look into the mirror 5 years later n would rather see what I see today.
So I told myself not to take advantage of what I have now.
~ My youth.. (30 still not that old lah).
~ My beauty.. Aiseh.. This apply for everyone k.. Everyone look their best when they are young! ....except for Sean Connery!
~ My health.. It may not always be in good condition but I'm walking, eating n sleeping well. This I will not take advantage or abuse coz we must know that no dream is possible without good health. Behind the struggle for abundance of wealth, a series of holiday plan, promises to care for your loved ones - all these needed good health to make it happen.
~ My parents and every single minute I have with them. It is true that the older we gets, the more we appreciate our parents. Nobody in this while world could love us as much as our parents do. Not even our bf, husband or children. They are getting older and the only thing they want from us is our time. I treasure them now more than ever!
~ My family. They are a must in my life. We are a full set of jigsaw puzzle. We may have our own shape n character, but when we are together, the world seems perfect! Few pieces of the puzzle have gone missing n there will be more missing pieces soon. Still I'm glad that they have migrated to Australia to lead a better life.
~ My friends. Although some may be a pain on my ass, some irritating, some sarcastic, some hated my guts, but they all loves me alot! These bunch of people is what keeping me sane. I treasure them as someone who still stick in my life now coz things may be different once they have family of their own.
~ My dumb luck that came rolling unexpectedly. Often as I may dwell about unpleasant incidents, I can't deny that God is looking after me.
~ My financial freedom. Free to spend n shop with and for my parents without need the think twice. Wait til I have my own family.. The only word coming out from my mouth will be "this month very tight ah".
With all these good thoughts in mind, I'm ready to go to bed in peace n serenity.

Felt like my surrounding and health issues have drained out my energy completely. Feeling so tired, moody and out of patience.
Well, this year is coming to an end, and a new year is approaching in the next few days!
It made me think what my 2011 resolution was, and if I managed to achieve it. But I don't think I remember the exact resolution, might be just the gist of it. And no, I'm not even near to my resolution!
But 2011 indeed is a good year and kind year to me. There may be things that does not go as smooth as I planned, but sometimes it turned out to better than I have expected!
Looking for a more productive year ahead. Keeping a positive thoughts will produce more positive outcome. And I need to start taking matter into my own hands. I have the confidence to do well.
One quote to end this post with... "Remember, just as we choose and judge others, others are judging us too".

Same as the old saying..."U treat me good, I treat u good, u treat me bad, I treat u bad"
"People's bullshit and fakeness are the main reasons why I like to be alone."
