healthy life is a choice

many to tell but few to write...

but a call this morning from my best friend "frank" in papua, sharing a terrible loss of our friend in malang who has just reached 40 years of age this year was surely a thing to write

but still i don't know how to start until i find this sentence " the more you live the less you die"...

a friend who has just passed away seems to be unjust if judged by age he has just earned, however, it emerges to be just if judged by life style he has stamped upon in this world

life style is not something i love talking about but this is something i shall write about because life style would determine how well we could reward this life in the fullest meaning while it is our fullest responsibility to live this decent life responsibly as rewarded by our Dear Lord

we -you and me- could color this life with red or white
we -you and me- could decorate this life with flower or grass
we -you and me- could paint this life with limitation or possibilities
it is all up to you... it is all up to me... it is all up to us

if you want to choose this life in negative ways then you'll be faced with a series of limitations that keep coming out from out mouth or thinking or attitudes and this will be combined with load of grievances too

if you want to choose this life in positive ways then you'll be rewarded with a series of possibilities that trigger ton of adrenalines to keep you developing and growing from time to time and this will be wrapped with a pool of joys in your heart

whether you choose being negative or positive remains an option
nothing is wrong or right, nothing is judged here as nothing is just or unjust
it is all about choice

As time goes by and some facts of loosing decent friends due to wrong life style are real, i'm now starting to think to which extent i shall talk about this healthy life style, a style that i've lived up in the past years that has brought plenty of contentment in my life

to some extends i'm still mixed to unveil my worry of telling others, but i know i'll do with my own style, sticking to my way of right eating and right exercise when it comes to speak the truth, and letting others know that i'm a happy man as i live my healthy life style

but then is it enough?
i don't know...

to be frank, i'm living a fact that my daddy is not a healthy life style person, and this is the reason why i've the extreme side of him by living my life in the healthier way since young age

i'm living with worries, if not fears, when seeing how hard it has been for him to battle his love on food and i knew by heart that he has failed many times with temptation of good food and continued struggling until today

and all foods seem to be the reasons behind healthy problems he carries in the past 15-20 years, and to some extent, he entirely depends on pills described by the experts (do you know what i mean, right?)

so, at the end, i'm compromising with myself to be a good influencer to my loved ones without forcing them, but showing the true facts of my life while steadily talking about the joy of being a healthy life style person

at least, i want them to see the joy of being in shape, the bliss of staying away from illness and the contentment of being healthy

i wish i had done enough, i wish my love of sport has been a decent path for my nephews and nieces to follow, and i wish my love of right eating has been a road for my loved ones to take up... i wish... and i wish...

at least, i know my best nephew "mo" has been with me in the past 2 years, and he has just been excellent in shape or fitness and continues living this healthy living in many senses

and i know all can be perfected when learning yoga, and now wonder i'm an earnest yogi in the past 2 years, and i've been committed to be a yogi for the rest of my life

now i must leave you for a while as thursday is getting later as pile of works is getting larger

no more cry for unjust life as we must to try our healthy life

my best cousin... (ordinary plan to visit my grandma)

i know you are home by now...
i know this is what you've been expecting to be home and i'll be home this weekend to see you once again...

i know i must start complying my promise to take you to a peaceful place when our loving grandma was lying there, and this is one of the wish-lists that i shall do shortly while i am still having a chance to do and to be with you

for an almost 2 months, when you were under treatment in that hospital, i could see the pain and feel the agony carried by you in every of your hidden smile, and i could feel into my bones before going fall asleep every night

and i could echo every wish you said about taking you out as you didn't belong to that hospital but we were faced with only one alternative to keep you there for a while until doctor agrees to let you go back home

and last week, i got the best sms of the month when my uncle told me you are now a free man, and i can't wait to see you this weekend

one earnest thing i must do is to take you to the graveyard to pay homage to our loving grandma....

back to october, on one hot and humid friday, when i first met you after 10-year of separating, when tears seemed to be flowing like a falling rain, i was speechless when knowing that you did not know that our loving grandma had passed away almost 5 years ago

when telling this fact, you were suddenly in tears, and perhaps, you cried too much that day and i was sharing the tears of sadness as i could not understand why people around you did not tell you this truth

that's why i promised myself that day to take you to our loving grandma when you are out from this hospital and i'll do it

to be frank,
i don't know what it is going to be when we are in the grandma's graveyard, and still i don't know if i have to be honest

the last october when i went there with my adorable mother, i was bursting into tears when reaching this graveyard, and i was sort of feeling i didn't have any power to control my flowing tears as i kept crying like the moment when i knew grandma was taken back to heaven

anything related to grandma can trigger my utmost fragility and it is very obvious

if i can lengthen this story, weeks before my visit to the graveyard, my grandma was coming into my dream, smiling at me while telling me nothing, only that kind of look that i knew i must go back praying and praying for her

suddenly one of the fragilest moments of my life was back in mind...

suddenly i remember those final days before heaven too her away for eternity, i was there on one decent friday afternoon to pay her a visit after knowing that she was unable to speak any longer, even she could not open her eyes and only intravenous was the thing that kept her alive

much was the agony and i was there to witness this...
and i came closer to her bed, holding her weaking right hand, and my mother wisphered to her left ear that...
... "Tony was coming all the way from Jakarta to see Ma",
... and ..... suddenly,.... she was able to open her eyer for a minute or so...
... then she looked at me for a very while...
... then she started crying as tears flowing down....
... then she hold tightly my right hand...
... and i was crying like a little kid knowing this miracle might last for a minute or so...

i cried and cried uncontrollably....
i cried like there was no one there to see or hear me crying....
i cried like i've never cried before....
i cried and just cried....

when she was too weak to hold my hand, i knew what was happened was purely a miracle and i knew that moment would last forever in my life, and i knew my grandma was sent to this world to allow me witnessing the greatness of love and life

i was there for many moments until i could control myself which is extremely hard to do before finally leaving and going back again in the following days -4 times in the row- only to see and pray her

now all are behind me
the past memories of my grandma would last forever
and what she did to me -when i was a kid- was unbelievably sweet
and that what makes my childhood a very memorable one

now if i shall be looking back for what i've learnt, i wish i had done enough to people who love me most in this life

at least, i would seize every chance to make them happy
at least, i would seize the chance to tell them that i love them
at least, i would seize the very moment to say that i care about them

one thing for sure, time is passing and clock is ticking
once it is passed, it is never taken back again no matter how hard you try
that's why i keep saying life is once, live it to the fullest
that's why if you have a chance to love, love it like it's never going to hurt
and that is the only way to live to the fullest

one decent gift from my writer's friend

02.41pm was a blast when this young postman arrived to knock my door

unlike yester thursdays, this thursday i was indulged by one small parcel which was sleekly wrapped in brown wrapping and my name was printed on it, it was a gift sent from bandung, it was a gift from my dear writer's friend..

i was joyful to know this decent gift was a token of christmas where santa claus was smiling in this unique creation of wooden craft, and i must say how thankful i was to receive such gift

if i can be honest, this is my first-received-gift on this december, and i'm hopeful you don't mind if i put this gift on this working table until christmas and new year is over in the next 4 weeks time

suddenly my afternoon was shifted into blissful mood
suddenly this santa made me smile that christmas was just around the corner
suddenly i know i have been so lucky to have known you

load of thanks, my dear writer's friend:)

... giving ...

giving is one word
giving is what you and me can do to the lesser ones
giving is a give-away attitude without asking
giving is all you and me shall do

both kids below are partly of my giving
i want to do more giving to this wonderful world especially to those lesser ones
and i want to do it in my best capacity
and i'm committed to do it

when giving is my joy
i want to make giving as my way of life
giving is nothing to do with taking
giving is just giving, without asking to be taking back
giving is my wish

if giving is what i can do today
i wish to do another giving when tomorrow comes
i'm dreaming of giving more to the lesser ones tonight
and i wish our Dear Lord would give me more chances to do this giving

if giving is my destination
i wish to be accompanied by someone who loves giving
i wish to be with someone who adores giving
i wish to be loved by someone who enjoys giving
and i wish to marry someone with giving heart

giving is what i can do least
giving is giving
i wish my giving heart won't last when 2009 starts
i dream my giving heart would blast when 2009 kicks off
i wish for every giving moment

if my life can be a blessing of others
i wish my giving talent is the answer to this world
if my life can be a benefit of others
i wish my life can be more benificial for lesser ones
if my life can be a source of smile
i wish it would be for those who want to pursue study

if my help can be an answer for your worry of tomorrow
i wish your worry of continuing school is waived by my commitment
at least, i started this year with two amazing kids, kanisius and yosias
i wish both of you ton of lucks
i'll be your biggest supporter in this life

my thankfulness to our Dear Lord who allows making this happens
my giving heart is always for those lesser ones
in giving heart i trust my future
in giving hearr i feel the joy of life

Kanisius

Yosias

the thought of you

the thought of you never goes anywhere

when sun shines brightly like now, when rain pours harshly like yesterday, the sweet thought of you will remain in our heart and i must write this thankful writing as my way of remembering your abundant love to me

if i can recall...

there was a time in my life when life seemed to be an uphill climb, you were there for me, offering any helping hands and sharing your warm hugs to waive any fear when my worries looked immense to take up

there was a time in my life when failure was closer, you were standing there for me, convincing that i belonged to winning circle, hence, i should not quit no matter how hard i might have been hit or punched by this world

there was a time when frawn was painted everywhere, you were there for always, being my source of smiling and strength, something that this world was rarely seen and you were there showering me with genuine faithfulness of loving me unconditionally

there were many times, many moments in this life, and those moments made you so special, first in my eyes, then in my heart before i realise you were definitely sent by our Dear Lord to save my life

thank-you, grandma...

thank-you might not be enough but thank-you is all i have
my thankfulness might be lesser in meaning but it is more in feeling

i miss you...
i miss you, grandma...
i miss you with all my heart

(rest in peace)

i'm worried

i'm worried if today will only last till midnight when this critical illness will take you away from this wonderful world, despite i know, it does mean you'll be freed from all agonies of life that have hammered you in the past 1 year

i'm worried...

i'm worried if what doctors said turns out to be true that hours are now being counted as your presence to this world is limited till thursday early morning when hopelessness is the only word to describe you and the world

i'm worried...

i'm worried if my last visit of 2.5 months ago would turn out to be our final moment of being together for which all tears seemed to have been dried up as no weep left to shy that anguish of that day

i'm worried...

i'm worried if last night's call which ended up unaswered was the only token that you had nothing left to say as nothing more to comment because this misery was too much to carry on when life seems to be least meaningful

i'm worried...

i'm worried at most by now
i'm worried if you might leave me at any minutes from now
i'm worried i can't do anything but pray
i'm worried at most

(if things turn out to be the only way for which heaven is your next destination then i could only send ton of prayers for your everlasting peacefulness, something you've strived in this life, and now you are about to be rewarded forever)

(if things seem to be reckless at the beginning, now it is flawless at the ending)

(our Dear Lord has saved a decent place for you in heaven)

for what i'm...

“I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you”

Sunday 30 November 2008

you make my world so colorful.......daniel sahuleka

don't blame me if i shall sing with you last night...

i wish there were some right words to thank you for your decent performance of last night, somewhere in JakJazz where accustic guitar was the only element you played, where with you captured and led every audience into total rapture

i was one of them....

when "you make my world so colorful" was about to be played, you showered us with magic confession of "sunlight that came across your room was falling into the face of your wife, making her so beautiful", you suddenly stormed our night into sincere thankfulness of having someone besides us

if i could finally sing with you and others, tasting the magic meaning of every word you wrote, tasting every meaning you meant to your wife then i could understand why this song had made you one of the most expected icons in this yearly event

still i couldn't imagine how could you be able to write such a beautiful song like that, a song that hampers this world with gratefulness of having someone in this life, a song that unveils the meaning of steady love that never ends

still i couldn't describe my mixed feelings when standing next to a gal i fancy, a feeling that put us together in this JakJazz, a feeling of friendship, an emotion of lovingship, and surely, a rapture to hold on

but one thing for sure you just made our last night a perfect moment to savor...

if i have to thank you for last night, i'll be thanking to...
1. love you gave to us
2. moment you shared with us
3. smile you passed to us
4. song you sang to us

most of all, from the bottom of my heart i sincerely thank you for "you make my world so colorful"...

i'll stand by you

and i don't know if a bridge was made last night if last night was the moment of life

and i don't know if this bridge of love is more than just enough to glue every difference we have and it is all we need to get together as this is a rare chance to happen

and i don't know if laughing together was the best medicine of yester night despite sour tones of past hurts seemed to haunt you, if not take you in blemish spell, into another mile of your life

but i do know i'll stand by you...
i'll be standing by you when rain was falling; when sun was shining...
i'll be standing by you when thing turns sour; when world seems to be frawn...
i'll be standing by you and i promise you this...

i know you are in somewhat troublesome in deleting past hurts, and it would take a while to heal and i know you'll be healed with the way you believe in, it would be a while to ride this bumpy road of life

but i could assure you that i'll be standing by you...

trust me, the joy of tomorrow is coming, just stick with what you've believed in and our Dear Lord is listening to every wish you send into a prayer, a thing i adore from you most

if sunday might look fragile, don't feel down as sun still rises tomorrow and smile still shows again

until tomorrow, i'm wishing you a truly peaceful sunday

kla project (last night)

and last night was just indescribably special...

and kla project is back after 7-year of "split-up", the first concert where katon, lilo and adi were in the same stage, somewhere in kamasutera -hotel crown plaza- and the night was poured with magical romantism that only kla could do...

and kla is back with memories, showing the world that they are no longer childish, putting all differences behind by being unselfish and making a night to remember with brilliant performance

how can i start telling you about "tentang kita"?
do we still remember this is the first single that took kla to the stage where music industry started sniffing the greatness in kla?

how can i tell you my joy when a song called "gerimis" was played?
do we know that the message of this song was just simple but incredible for staying faithful to the love we worship when hardship rocks our love in such a way?

how can i share you my shaky feeling when we're all ended up singing "yogyakarta"?
do i have to tell you that most people in the room were singing in joy, taking us aback to the old days when kla produced this "master piece" that might not last in time?

shall i tell you my heart was mixed between loving kla more and fancying daniel sahuleka most after wathing him at JakJazz a hour ago?
do i have to tell you i've loved music more than anything in this world and i just hold myself from not swinging in joy when love songs knocked me out?

suddenly i was not the only one either to knowing the night with kla is a rare happening in this life

if i can be honest, last night i was a happier person with lighter heart

and i know, once again, music for me is a joy to savor and being with kla -when saturday was made- was surely a heaven to taste and i'm sincerely thankful for the love you brings to me, and your special companion of last night

suddenly, last night was more than just a nite, a moment to savor, a night to remember

Monday 24 November 2008

i can't help it...

now i can find you in every corner of my mind

and you've been there since last wednesday when you turning up in panache, making a night to remember when your enthusiastic talks captures my best attention then pleasing my thirsty of seeing one smart brain wrapped in decent look and clever jokes

and then you just make my world turn inside out since then

whom shall be blamed?
am i wrong for fancying you too much?
shall you be blamed for taking every offer being together?
or is it life that it is supposed to be?

i don;t know...

and if i shall start my day then i know i shall end with a thought of you which is i can't shun despite i try not to include you in every walk of my life but i can't help it

and if i'm now sailing with a series of blissful emotions then i couldn't separate you from this feeling as i know you are the biggest reason of the most recent uplifting life in me

and suddenly, all of my life is now being focussed on you...
i can't deny...
i can't conceal...
and i must tell you that you are here, there and everywhere...

(i'm scared of fancying you much; but i can't help myself from not liking you most)

Splendid Monday, everyone!

Love Letter (24 Nov 2008)

a sweet thought of you is here, never goes away...

and i must tell you this because you are the only reason of my blissful sunday when you swayed me in simple joy with enthusiasm that never lasts and suddenly i know i was seeing "an old me in you"

and i must let you this because i keep thinking of you when dawn of monday arrives in wet style where pouring rain grabs me in fragile mood to remind me those sweet days in Ubud when i was falling into you endlessly

and i must listen to my conscience because i'm now livelier than before; bublier than yesterdays; a kind of thing that signals every token that being with you is what matters me most in these days

and i must make you known that i don't mind being irational, silly, bollock or unbelievably stupid because of love, as love is all i need to make this world go around and i'm an always slave of love

but then what i shall be loosing?
i must tell you that i'll be loosing nothing in this world because being with you is the best gift this world could give

and i must tell you that i'll be drawn into the ocean of bliss because nothing drives me more than a thing called love to be happier in this life and it is an always moment i wish to happen in my life

and i must tell you that trapped with you in saint theresa last night was a gift of life when i should lit three candles for all loved ones, and one is for you, as i was hoping this life would treat us sweetly

and i must tell you that a diet coke tastes nicest this weekend when i was with you, having a plate of mixed fruits, somewhere near the calmness when sunday evening offers a joy to live

suddenly i know i must be with you again despite it is ain't easy as hectic has prevented us to get together often, but i'll fight to see you often at any costs

suddenly i know life must be comprised with insensibility to savor the greatest gift of life -which is falling in love-, and i don't mind being zero plausible pursuing my life being with you in days to come

suddenly i know we'd be somewhere on this upcoming weekend when music is our bridge; when japanese food is our talk or when rain is what you expect to fall on

but then...
can i hold myself from falling further?
can i hold myself from fancying you deeper?
can i ask myself to stand where i'm right now?

i don't know and i just don't...
all i do know if life is a choice, a choice of joy, then i'll strive every second to be happier and i'm now encountering someone where happiness is just made naturally thru given smile and smart brain

but then...
i'm lost in words as no other words are perfect to describe this feeling
i'm speechless in the calmness of happiness
i'm a happy person now

i think i must see you soon...

i miss you... i miss all of it...

Life Is A Gift

Life is a gift...

Today, before you say an unkind word, think of someone who can't speak

Today, before you complain about the taste of your food, think of someone who has nothing to eat

Today, before you complain about your husband or wife, think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion

Today, before you complain about life, think of those who may have died before their time

Today, before whining about the distance you drive, think of those who walk the same distance on foot

When you are tired and complain about your job, think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job

And, when depressing thoughts seem to get you down..
Put a smile on your face and think..
You're alive and still around for a reason..

Love Letter (14 Nov 2008)

suddenly I miss you like nobody else...
i must write you this since it has been a week since we last met and every sweet thought of you seems to be around my mind and i just can't get you out of this mind, no matter how hard i've tried

suddenly I miss you, I miss your kiss, and I miss your wish
I miss all of it...
and till now your kiss still tastes sweet and if I have to choose, I'll let your kiss last on my cheek till heaven bursts, but then how can't I stand on my own if I don't see you by the end of this month?

suddenly I want to kiss you like nobody needs to know
suddenly I want you to know that your kiss for me is an endless glow
your kiss is what I need most when cloudy day seems to be misleading when my sunny day looks to be less compelling

suddenly I know that I must see you

in this life, before and now, I've dated some gals but being with you is just unbelievably different and loving you is surely the best gift this life has given me besides my breath

you breath new life into my love, taking my attention into lesser ones and letting me flown into the rhythm of joy without never pushing me to follow what you believe in or prefer to

you show me a series of insights that loving someone is a combination of loving words and caring deeds, and every argument is a reduction to our love but every compliment is a bonus to our love

with you my love blossoms like a mushroon in the rainy season, but then you won't stop there, you allow me growing in my own pace and giving me space to love you in my own style, something which is you fancy most as you say my way of loving you is very unique and incomparable

now I know I'll be less meaningful when you are not around
words you say, deeds you do, hugs you give and smile you show to me are just the best gifts of day that our Dear Lord has given to my life

and certainly, falling in love with you is just the best gift of this life has poured on me

I love you for so many reasons and I'll love you for many more reasons


with all the love in the world,
Kevin Anthony

Till The End Of Time

The road we’ve chosen might be longer than expected
The path we’ve taken might be steeper than imagined
The journey we’ve ridden might be darker than pictured

And sun might not shine all days and rain might not pour all months, but I’m standing here to tell you that I’ll take you with me to get there, to a place where heaven was made in honesty and loyalty, and in that island, I’ll commit my whole life to be with you till death do us apart

For what it has been a coy to many of us, it is no longer a secret that I’m in love with you

For what it has been a mystery to some of us, it is all now known that you are mine for the rest of this life

And for what it has been a story of life, I’m here to write every chapter of us, I live to love you, and you live to love me, till the end of time

This Is Our Chance

This is our chance to answer that call...
This is our moment...
This is our time
to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids;
to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace;
to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth – that out
of many, we are one;
that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism,
and doubt, and those who tell us that we can’t,
we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:

Obama Praises McCain

"He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he’s fought even longer and harder for the country he loves”

"He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine"

"And we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader"

Michelle Obama

"I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last sixteen years"

"The rock of our family"
"And the love of my life"
"Our nation’s next First Lady, Michelle Obama.”

The Road Ahead Will Be Long - Barack Obama

"The road ahead will be long"
"Our climb will be steep"

"We may not get there in one year or even one term"
"But America -- I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there"

"I promise you -- we as a people will get there,"

lessons from a wise-old-man

it took me back to the places when sunshine seemed to have shined all the way down to my heart to recall one of the nicest quotes i've ever heard in my life and this wise-old-man whispered in my ear and said this....

"son, remember that people will judge you by your actions, not your intentions"

i was stunned, silenced by the meaning of this sentence and absorbed to the facts that this sentence was just too right by all means

then he continued as i was still in mesmerized stage by the heat of the moment, and said...

"son, the only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose"

i was almost close to tears as i'd been searching all of my life to find true happiness and in this wise-old-man i found it, and i found it in bali, a heaven on earth somewhere above uluwatu but below dreamland

and after grabbing my full awareness i started seeing this life is larger scale, started thinking of others whom i could do in helping them reaching their dreams by sponsoring, encouraging and leading them

because, in truth, there is ton of happiness in seeing others happy because of us

years after i met this wise-old-man, now i start believing to exist just for yourself is meaningless and we shall pursue for the most satisfaction by relating to some greater purposes in life, something greater than ourself, namely, by helping others -less fortunate ones- to realise their dreams

perhaps, as tuesday falls on in panache, i would end this up by saying "it is not how much one makes but to what purpose one spends in this life" that matters most our happiness

do you think so?

have a splendid tuesday, everyone!

To Be A Winner

There is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it

Do you have it?
Do I have it?

Or am I going to have it as time goes by?
But for very sure I want to be a winner in this life...

Men (Is That True)

Men, like nails, lose their usefulness when they lose direction and begin to bend

Monday 3 November 2008

last sunday's evening

it was laughter that made us close
it was loyalty that kept us together
it was respect that brought us last night
but it is all about true friendship that matters to us

and last night i was in the middle of 20 close friends, chatting for our joy, listening to our friendship and spreading our wishes for another year in faithful friendship

i don't find right words to describe the right meaning of friendship but i was blessed to have been given such a wonderful circle of friends who've always been there to enjoy the blissful moment of my life

i was there with all of them, a kind of yearly gathering for celebrating my birthday which always falls on october, and this kind of gathering has always been attended by the same camaraderies in the past three years

and i must tell u one thing...
whenever this circle of friends was togeter then you could expect a ton of laughter that teary eyes were highly likely and we were just savoring the moment of togetherness like there is no other moment

over the years, this group has increasingly loyal to each other
over the years, we respect each other more than a year ago
over the years, this friendship is getting solid when every new year arrives
and in friendship we do trust our lives of joy

now we are all still in the stage of developing and learning
but all we have until today is surely a blessing that is mesmerizing
and even till today none of us are complaining
because this friendship is a gift of life which is simply amazing

if i could make a wish, i'd wish this solid friendship would last till words don't rhyme, and if possible, till heaven burts

and i'll always wish to stay in touch for always

have a splendid monday every one!

last saturday

it is morning croissant from daily bread restaurant that is now with me
it is a superb way to kick of this monday but i had a brilliant saturday to write too

last saturday, unlike other saturdays, i was given a chance to be a good host when a dear friend from bandung was in town to pay me a visit, and i was happy to see my dear friend once again

she is in healthy, full of smile and a writer of her life too
she is a dear friend in the past years and the last time we met was an almost year ago when we both ended up a night in starbuck menteng, seizing the saturday till monday morning with ton of decent chats

this time, we did not much time to chat except an hour to enjoy with dim-sum in duck king-grand indonesia plus two hours full of spirit when mamamia took us to another spell of joyful life

i know i did promise my dear friend of this mamamia
why shall be a mamamia?
i don't know -if i can be honest- and if i do know it is all about uplifted spirit after seeing this entertaining movie for which the joy remains even when the movie is finished

now i start believing what a movie could bring to our lives, but more than anything, i believe that happiness and joy would come to our lives when time is right and it was well put in this movie

a series of decent sceneries, a bunch of memorable songs and a string of cracking moments in this movie are behind all best reasons why this movie has been well praised, accepted and cheered by many of movie lovers, including myself

years before i see this movie, my love for music has been well blossomed and the songs of ABBA are all familiar to my ears, not to mention, my skill of playing those songs thru my guitar

perhaps, for some people, "slipping thru my fingers" is not familiar, but this song has been tapped into my mind 20 years ago, a moment when my appetite of learning music was too large by any means

and in truth, i was singing loudly inside my heart and i was kind of hoping i could stop the clock from the funny trick of time as i -suddenly- missed ton of decent memories of singing this song with some friends when one saturday night fell in style

now i wish my dear friend would luv this mamamia as much as i do
now i wish she would be back in bandung with cheerful feeling of mamamia
and i wish i had been a good host on last saturday as i did enjoy the moment of being together

as life goes on...
we are now on monday, another week for which i wish to crack another blessing moment with my given life which has been fabulous, enticing, fascinating and also encouraging

as i move on to this monday...
i started feeling that nothing we could hold will stand still, nothing...
all we had would be untied no matter how hard we tried...
and i could feel why 'slipping thru my fingers' is very right...
(I wish that I could freeze the picture...and save it from the funny tricks of time)

enjoy your monday and let's have today poured into our lives with bliss

Wednesday 29 October 2008

Football is...

Football is like a drug that keeps you addicted, and to a certain extent, football could make your life miserable as football is cruel at the end

(this is a combined statement by Jose Mourinho and Sir Alex Ferguson)

quote of today

"I've always made a total effort, even when the odds seemed entirely against me"
"I never quit trying; I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win"

one wednesday with love

i don't know how to start this writing since load of mixed thoughts to start with but then i'm even wondering how to end since i'm full of ideas of making enticing endings

so how do i start it?
let me start with one decent sentence..."cold outside, warm inside"...

i don't know if the sentence really describes the description of today, but all i know this wednesday was kicked off with load of cloudy smells, a sort of cold morning feeling as rain was pouring at dawn, and sunshine seems to have vanished

now when 'cold outside and warm inside" was exposed, a thought of stunning memory of seeing falling snow -back to old days in brighton england- took much of my smiles when holding a cup of hot tea while sitting in my room and watching falling snows that never lasted

for hours, i were there in silence as words were wordless to describe the beauty of falling snows, and loveliness of winter could bring, as tough, led this enticing life into a sphere of speechlessness as my life was wrapped in total joy of the winter

for hours, i was sitting all by myself, letting myself lost in all sweet imagination about cracking sunlight that would appear later, or letting my imagination to take me to a perfect place where sweetness of playing and walking under falling snow was now obvious to savor

for a while, then many whiles, i was silenced by continued falling snows before i finally walked out of the door to walk under falling snows, trying to catch as much as falling snows to write the word of love on the street, then catching my imagination to see shiny hairs when falling snow hit our hairs

to tell you the vibes were amazing and it was such a mesmerizing moment to watch

then you might know why i called "cold outside, warm inside" as i continued feeling warm inside of my heart because all sweetness of winter gave me pool of decent memories of falling snow (now you know why i luv using the word of "fall" too)

but today is here and all we have is here and now, and for this reason i must severe a thought of falling snow as sunny wednesday seems to arrive shortly in style as cloudy day seems to have appeared

i wish a truly sunny day would lead my day into contention, because in truth, i'm scheduled to see my old friend later this evening in plaza semanggi, and this old friend is partly of my circle that i wish to keep for last

before i go, i wish you know why...
i luv using the words of grow and fall, or cold and warm
i luv choosing conflicting words to make it sweeter in sound

have a splendid wednesday everyone...

Sunday 26 October 2008

on my friend's wedding

our love to this world

our love to this world is forever
our love to this life is for good
our love to loved ones is for eternity

no matter what life might have taken you, please believe sun will shine tomorrow because life has all best meanings when we accept and forgive our life truthfully

no matter what life might have taken and treated you, please give way to love (and only love) because life has got all the meanings when love is the ground of your everythings

(love you more on this peaceful sunday)

sweetness of childhood

after watching this movie last night i hold a series of wishes to write but one and foremost, i wish i were given a talent to write as i want to write my childhood dream, a memory of mine before leaving kaimana, and this memory was shared with my dear friends iskandar bwefar and hasan kamakula

if i could go back let me start it in my words...

that day was the final day of my staying in kaimana, a time to move had just arrived as we all received our certificates two days ago that confirmed our passing of elementary school of santa marthinus

that night three of us were sitting by the side of toko anggrek theo, treasuring a moment of life-remembrance with a plate of kue pia and 3 bottles of home-made syrup with simple-but-sad talks about separation that was coming now to capture us

that gathering marked my last day in kaimana and i knew i had a ton of agony of leaving my dear friends and i don't know when will we meet up again, and if we meet, i'm unsure where and when can we meet as life seemed to have led us in different spell as surabaya was my only destination that year

that night we were laughing for the last time when each of us was committed to always write one another thru letter, something that i respected much as i am still in touch with iskandar until the moment when jotting down this writting

that night we told each other of our dreams, a dream to be a pilot (my love of blue sky), a dream to be a police (hasan's dream of being stern), a dream to be a medical assistant (iskandar's family heritage) and a dream to be a better person in later life when later life catches up with panache

that night i could feel the teary eyes of my friends when hugging me, wishing me well and always good, holding my hands tight for the last time, hoping me the best for my future study and beautiful life in surabaya

that night we were so sad saying good bye to each other, a moment i always remember when tears running down our faces but then i know why i've loathed separation most since that night

but our loving remembrance keeps us together till now, the genuine love of childhood stays up top amongst all other things and laskar pelangi brings back all sweetness of childhood in very special way

when ending this movie, i started singing and memorising every lyrics of laskar pelangi and i found completely in www.youtube.com for which this made me stay up till 03.00AM as i kept singing and singing with joy

then dream is alive, dream of going home to meet up my dear childhood dream is alive
this dream makes me feel more fulfilled for treasuring perfect childhood
this dream is back now and i'll fly home one fine day to meet up with iskandar, mawan, yehadi, yosias, taher and naftalis

this dream is fully alive and reachable by any means

if i go back i'll ask all of them for paying respect to our dear friend hasan kamakaula who has left us two years back for good and he is now peacefully in heaven

for him, we'll raise our cup of tea to remember him
for him, we'll head down for a while to remember his kindness
for him -hasan-, we've carved a very special place in all of our heart to remember him forever

(i know i'll be home; i know i'll bring load of joys back to this life than ever)

happy peaceful sunday

my childhood (thanks to laskar pelangi)

menarilah dan terus tertawa...
walau dunia tak seindah surga...
bersyukurlah pada Yang Kuasa...
cinta kita di dunia...
selamanya...

be frank with all of you, since last night i've been trying to waive every remembrance to these lyrics after watching the movie of "laskar pelangi" but i failed at the end

i don't know, but i am honest with you that i'm thinking a whole load of my decent childhood now and this movie has helped to reflect those cracking moments with best pals in very loving, genuine and simple way

in what this world could offer, my childhood is full of sweet remembrances
i luv the moment of walking home from school with Iskandar and Hasan
i luv the moment of singing with them, singing songs of the old the mercy's
i luv the moment of running under pouring rain when thunder never worries us
i luv the moment of childhood that ever exists

childhood is plenty of terrific memories
genuinity, simplicity and loyality were established in those days and my childhood found perfection in friendship i created with iskandar, mawan and hasan with which until today we are still in touch

all i know our Dear Lord has always got a perfect way for us, allowing us valuing every moment we've passed in this life, allowing us remembering magical moment about childhood related to natures such as rain and rainbow

i'm speechless when knowing the other lyrics "cinta kepada hidup... memberikan senyuman abadi... walau hidup kadang tak adil" because i know since childhood i've been trying to live this life with love, love and love

then i could recall one best moment of my life when walking back home under pouring rain with best pals, singing some old songs of the mercy's, singing outloud like there is no tomorrow, singing to the world as tough the joy of this world was purely only for us

and when we reached home, my loving mother prepared us cups of hot teas and fried bananas plus steamed potatoes and all of us rushed to dinner table and perhaps that was another moment in life that made me love my mother most

my childhood is a perfect remembrance and till know this memory remains

as i looked back to those days i've travelled, suddenly i know my childhood was so sweet, memorable as well as enjoyable by any measurable comparisons in this world and days we spent, months we passed by and years we created were full of love and joy

those days were the best days of our life
and only our Dear Lord knows how terrific those loving days to our life now

looking back, two years ago we've lost hasan as our Dear Lord has called him back earlier and we knew he is now in heaven with Him

sometimes or many times, i wish to go back to play every possible memory with a circle of decent friends who still exist, with iskandar, mawan, yehadi, taher, yosias and naftalis

some times or many times, i wish to walk again thru old streets i walked when going to my elementary school santu marthinus kaimana with good friends while trying to picture every left memories of "alang-alang", or "bunga matahari", or "familiar faces who used to greet us in the morning hours when passing their house before schooling got us"

sometimes or many times, i wish to meet up with close friends, gathering for a cup of coffee and a plate of fried bananas in the late afternoon to enjoy stunning sunset of my home town, sharing old stories of childhood with laughter and joy

sometimes and many times, i wish i were given these moments to go back again to my joyful childhood where love was indescribably sweet; where i was able to gather again with my best pals

till now when i'm writing this writing i can't hide my sweet memories of running and playing under pouring rain and this is why i want to go back and experience with my loved one on one fine day either in ubud or kuta bali

those days there was no bitterness of life, only sweetness of living, joy of the days and bliss of tomorrows as we lived those days without burden as joy of playing soccer washed away any worries

i know by now this writing is for my dear friend "hasan kamakaula"
i know by now i was loving every moment with him but our Dear Lord called him earlier to do other jobs in heaven, something we'd do in later stage of our lives when our time is locked

and all i know serenity of life started in early years, and my stunning childhood made it all

happy peaceful sunday everyone

ben is ben (bd)

ben is my smart nephew

i can't hide my admiration when taking him for a while to exercise my sheer english

what impresses me is, with his 10 yoa, he could answer almost 85% of my questions correctly and he even amazes me with some decent answers that only smart people could deliver (not in his ages)

and how come he does it in such a young age?
i don't know but i confessed already to him that he is one of my smartest nephews!

and i'm devoting his loving picture in this blogger

3 of us: three of us

value of family

i smell a series of true joys whenever i'm amidst of my family

screaming of aldo puts smile on my face when he runs to me, asking to allow him taking pictures from my digital camera, negotiating to continue picturing some decent members of families especially his favorable cousin ben

smiling of ben leads me to another sphere of bliss especially when talking about narcis quaresmo, a gal of his classmate for which ben has been in the collide of love and hate recently

with both of them a string of decency of living seems to last forever because all of good laughter, smiles, joys and good times we've shared and i shall regret the moment of arriving late in surabaya

with ben, aldo finds ton of bliss
with aldo, ben finds a shell of peace
with ben and aldo, i find genuine joy

suddenly i find again the value of family, reaffirming the value of life that stands above anything else

i luv the moment of being with nephews and i fancy the occasion of loving my big families as i always put my family first after our Dear Lord and i wish to keep this priority last for many decades to come

my family is where i want to go when all seems to be right
my family is the path i want to follow when all looks to be wrong
either i'm wrong or right, in my family i'll fully be accepted without any blame
that's why i keep coming home to my family

in my family, i feel home that never lasts, a home of peace, a house of joy

have a splendid weekend!

My Best Cousin

this trip to my second hometown -Surabaya- ain't so hard as no teary or weary feeling was prepared at the outset

but it was all so wrong...

when dropping a visit to my best cousin who was hospitalized due to over-depression reason, it was a teary moment as i saw him in powerless state of mind and i could not hold myself from not crying when offering him a hug

he was my best cousin and he is still my best cousin...

we shared so much in common, the love of soccer, the interest in travelling, the joy of having lager and the complacency of loving grandma much besides we both are the sport freak by all means

we could talk anything till dawn and always enjoy laughing so much when joking about ridiculous things we did in memorable childhood when grandma was our source of joy as she always spoilt two of us with ton of ice cream, decent food and nice outfit

we always remember unconditional love grandma had shared to us, remembering grandma always put us in teary eyes and making us fragile as we knew our love for grandma was unrivalled

i saw my best cousin crying like a kid when telling him that grandma already passed away 4 years ago in peace and he was not told the way it should have been told as he was under serious treatment when grandma died back in august 2004

i saw tears were running thru face of my best cousin and i cried too for that emotion, feeling a presence of grandma and knowing we'd go to her graveyard one day when my best cousin is back to norm

before leaving him, after visiting him 4 days in the trot, i promised a series of nice things namely, (1) visiting grandma's graveyear (2) visiting old friends: om alex, christine and patricia (3) going to ubud bali while bycicling and drinking lager and coffee there (4) meeting and calling our childhood friends like siu dilon etc

i promised him with my heart and i know i could do all with my wishful heart when time is right and when day is good for which we'd see a miracle would happen to my best nephew in month to come

i promised to be with him when he is exempted from this hospital and i'll bring a pair of nike boot and one nike jersey for him as he would wear those as he knows i'm a lover of nike and he is a lover of sport

i promised him a hope to get healthier
i promised him a series of good faith that our Dear Lord has healed him
i promised him a chance to be smiling and laughing again
i promised him a life of joy because he deserves it
i promised him a moment of faith in JC

till day arrives, i promised myself to be a best cousin for him
(our Dear Lord, please listen to my promises to my best cousin)

Splendid Wednesday

A stunning day of yesterday paved the way to carry on joyful heart and in truth it was a series of decent texts and calls that made my life was so blissful in every term I could imagine

It was there, the joy of birthday that we all wish to happen
It was there, the moment of getting best wishes from all loved ones
It was there, the magic feeling that arrives on every birthday

Now another new day has just arrived but the feeling of joy remains

And I can't hide every thankfulness that my close circles and loved ones have brought in, with which, load of smiling faces, plenty of laughter and ton of decent chit-chat was the best part of yesterday

If asked what shall be the first thing I shall ask for this birthday?
Then my answer will be a string of happiness to all my loved ones, best friends and people I'm working with

For all who have loved me in this life I thanked you from the bottom of my heart
For all who I've loved in this life I wish to keep loving all of you in everyway of my life

All I know another year has captured me in contentment and I can't ask any better for what I've been blessed from the jobs I've been assigned to families and friends I've been poured

Love is all I have on these days...
Joy is another word that these days are giving...
Bliss is always the one that follows me wherever I go...

Splendid Wednesday everyone!

A Day With Love & Bliss

today is simply a day with love and bliss
today remarks another day in this 2008 that means a whole load to my bliss
today i know i'm wiser as another year grabs me in panache
today people greet me with ton of best wishes
today i'm no one but a birthday boy
today i'm a happiest person

to be loved in this world is a gift
to be cared in this planet is a joy
to be loved and cared in this life is a miracle
and miracle is what i'm feeling now

now i know why our Dear Lord has loved me much
now i know why He loves me in an unique way
now i know why i'm still here with passion to love Him more
now i know why He keeps pouring me with giving heart
now i know why i luv Him more than anyone in this world

a day with love is a moment of bliss
and i was born to this world because of love
and i live this life because of bliss
and with my love of life, i'd go as far as i could to love you with bliss

love is all i do have by now
love is all i savor by now
love is all i need
love is life
and life is love

(load of thanks to all dear friends who have wished and greeted me so well)

Some People

"Some people end their lives with deep satisfaction and with few regrets while others die with bitterness at the life they might have lived"

Is that true?
How many of us have seen this happened amongst our close circles, seeing those suffer with great pain while witnessing others running this life with full of joy?

Can we help those who suffer?
Yes, we can by telling them what brings happiness to their life

Why shall we do that?
Because happy people know what brings them happiness and consistently make those things a priority in life and this is the best way to learn from those happy people and live this life to the fullest

In this regards, now you could understand why I'm living now as if today's might be my last sunset, and by doing this, I found myself being more present to those around me

I luv being honest and sincere in giving and loving
I luv being open and blunt when loving and caring
I luv being myself when loving like there is no tomorrow
And that's how I live my life to the fullest

Splendid Tuesday everyone!

Luv My Life

I have no intention of leaving you aside by erasing some decent memories we had in the past because what we had was stunning and it was a journey of my life and I luv my life so much

Some might argue it is a wrong decision but decent memories never wipe me out from stunning life, instead, they gave load of positive energies to make furtune of blissfulness and I'll be making no concessions when it comes to the blissfulness

"I'm in love with my life and I have no intention of leaving this blissful life I am living up now"

"This stunning life makes me so attached emotionally and my heart and soul are akin to living to the fullest"

"I'll not leave it by any means but to keep it intact by all means"

"I luv my life but more than that I luv you who loves me the way I am"

Adorable Pope John Paul II

Life is About Finding (By Vonny)

Aku pikir aku bisa
Aku pikir aku biasa
Menjalani hidup tanpamu

Kupejamkan mata
Melayangkan seuntai doa
Sejenak kutahan nafasku
Mengantar kepergianmu

Saat itu aku buta
Antara kurang cinta
Atau mulai hilang rasa
Aku tak tahu jawabannya

Menemukan diriku
Tetap tenang
Tanpa histeria
Melewati hari paling sedih
Yang saat itu menyapa

Akhirnya kutemukan mengapa

Kumampu redam perasaan lara
Membisu bak patung di tengah kota
Tak bergeming diusik
Kenangan lama yang manja

Melalui suatu pagi paling menyakitkan
Yang pernah ada
Kutemukan jawabannya

Selamat jalan mama
Ternyata aku sangat cinta
Ternyata aku tak bisa dan biasa…

Selamat jalan
Bahagialah disurga

(my sincere gratitude for Vonny who allows me posting this poem)

Love Letter (Writen on Monday 13 Oct 08)

This is where all starts, a love of yours, a heart of mine, a world of us

I know love is always an unknown thing, as much as I don't know the reasons why I love you, why I've loved you, why I fell in love with you or why I'm so in love with you for many indescribable reasons

When your love walked in, my world was swirling and my joy was splashing

You could name it whatever you wanted to call it but I was so irational when being with you, as I do know, I'm a truly happier person when being with you either in Bali or Malacca, either in the movie or in the bistro, either in fancy restaurant or just a hawker

When your love arrived I was dying inside just to be with you
Then I know if days turned out to be sweeter, lights got brighter because of loving you and loving me like there is no other better things in this world

When whispering a dream of living in Bali, you just smiled while whispering back with one decent sentence "Would you still love me when I'm 60 if I say yes to live with you in Bali"?... You bet, I did say yes...

When unveiling a wish of retiring young to live this life to the fullest by doing more charity works and less business works, you stared into my eyes by questioning "Is it your wish of giving and giving that nurtures you to live this giving tenet"?... and I said yes...

When being with you one day, when sunset was in perfect spell, when Kuta was just made for you and me, you laid your head on my shoulder, smiled at the sunset and whispered to my right ear almost unheard by saying "Would you be committed to me, in front of our Dear Lord, just to love me in ups and downs, thicks and thinks, highs and lows, hills and valleys of this life, till death do us apart"?... and I was in teary eyes, full of joy then said yes...

MyLove,
I do hope you know that I love you for million reasons and I'll always be hopeful this given love would last for eternity as your love is the best nest of my life and the best shell of my heart

I wish I were a writer so I could write in precise words how much I do love you
I wish I were a dictionary so I could pick up the right meaning of words of expressing my truest love for you

But I'm limited with knowledge and bordered with words
But I'm unlimited and borderless in loving you in every single new days of my life

And the magic of your love continues as I always feel loved, worthy, useful, cared, respected and accepted whenever I'm being with you and that is the best description of the world of our love

Days might be gone as Tuesday would arrive tomorrow, but when a new dawn turns up I know my love will blossom in nicer way and I know you'll be there to love me more (as much as I love you)

Splendid Monday, my Love...


With all the love in the world,
Tony, Tony, Tony

Ben

Friendship Day

"True friendship comes when the silence between two people is comfortable"

And all friendships we've poured in the past 2 decades are simple, genuine, practical, honest and incomparable by any means and we've done it all without a
touch, without a word and even without a sign...

We have done it by being ourself, perhaps that is what being a true friend means after all, where giving and giving is what we've been doing to one another...

All true values glued to us now...
And we all know to always stay close to our friends and family, for what they have helped make us the person that we are today...

Happy Friendship Day, my Buddies....

Friend & Friendship

"A friend is one to whom one may pour out all the contents of one's heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away"

"Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together"

Why I Do Luv You

“I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you”

"I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making
of me"

"I love you because you have done more than any creed could have done to make me
good, and more than any fate could have done to make me happy"

Friday 10 October 2008

If... If... If...

If every rose has its thorn, I know with all my heart the way I luv you would be questioned by many others since secrecy is the middle name of our passionate relationship

If every night has its dawn, I know this burning desire between us would be leading to an enticing honesty that would be the talk of many others since I luv you more than other gals I have been in luv before

If every song has its lyrics, I know the completeness of life would be realised when having you besides me, promising our togetherness in front of God, in Uluwatu when Sunset has its best view, one fine day in 2007

If every life has its choice, I have known in my heart of heart that you are my missing piece, my soul buddy, my soul mate and my eternity where infinity is blessed in an everlating loving relationship

If every love has its loved life, I would love you as much as I luv my life...

Kevin... My Thought Of You

Even words are not adequate to divulge how much I have missed you...

Even calls are never be sufficient to unleash my love on you...

And all of my misses have been turned into one decent dream as you run after me to hug me while screaming.."Uncle, where have you been....I have been missing you"...

And I was crying in my dream, seeing your face, feeling your kiss on my cheeks and I know how much we have been missing each other since we last met in Jakarta when you went undergo for some therapies to cure your autism...

Even now, when jotting down these words, a stunning smile of you remains painted in this mind and a list of sweet thoughts being with you is now back to this mind.

Kevin, whatever happened in this life, nothing would change you in the eye of me, ..you are still my best looking nephew, and you are still my inspirational nephew...and I would always miss your passionate hug and agressive kiss on my cheeks each time we meet

I luv you Kevin...so much!

Don't Stop Believing

Each day offers a list of ups and downs...
Every time in this life you have a high of yesterday but a low of tomorrow ...

But high or low, ups or downs will make us a complete person...make us a stronger person..

When tomorrow seems like an uphill climb and when bitter pills shall be swallowed or when there is no a shoulder to lean on in this world, ...crying the tear is perhaps the only choice...

But at that sorrowing time, our faith is tested

At the time, misery and agony are running thru our throat, leaving us with a pool of tears, letting us feeling as the unlucky one in this whole world, the thruth is, the bliss and joy are around the corner...

So....
Keep believing in happiness than anguish

Keep trusting that a sunny morning will arrive than blemish afternoon

Keep striving to grab a larger joy than to hold a gloomy feeling

And don't stop believing no matter how painful the misery and agony are given because we are closer to happiness and we shall keep striving and never giving up hope to be happier..

It is our right to have an eternity of joyful life

Million of Best Wishes

People say that nothing lasts forever

At first I ain't believe but now I start believing that nothing lasts forever

All I know things would stay forever when you are committed to make it forever in your words and deeds where honesty and openness shall be the bases of this commitment

That's how I see and learn things in this life

Now I am looking back to the days when we were together; when green leaves quavered in the morning; when blinking lights of Benton Junction exposed in the evening; when this life had utmost joy to offer

I then realised how thankful I had been to have been trapped in contention where tenderness and loveliness of your love seemed too perfect to comment

I then realised why I felt so much adoration in you when you treated me in the best possible manner, swaying my jovial moment with kisses and smiles and savoring every moment of love with loving words

No matter where do we stand now, all those moments are truly memorable and matchless and they would stay forever in my heart for many many years to come

I still remember when we were lost in space of bliss
I still remember when we were fenched in the hand of rapture
I still remember when we were locked in the sphere of ecstasy

And I still remember each moment when we got together where kisses and touches are the middle name of us

And I still wish each nicest moment would last longer and sweeter but they were the past now as time had shifted us into different direction

I could only now wish the best of you in the future where I wish this life would treat you at the nicest possible way and I wish you every best luck in this world for the true love that you wish to find in someone

I love seeing you happy
I love seeing you flown in joy
I love seeing you washed away in elation

Doubtlessly, I wish you millions of best wishes...

Live Today...

Do you know that...
Life is a gift we're given every day?
That's why we shall live our today to the fullest?

Do you know that...
Life is a gift we're given each day?
But we always dream about tomorrow?
And forget to live for today with gusto?

If you and I do know this...
Would you live today -like me- to the fullest with gusto?

(Don't you know that...)
(All we have is here and now?)
(And you are all that I need somehow?)

Love Letter (The Best Ever Written)

My Love,

If the most recent Friday night -3 October 2008- with you was the beginning of indescribable vibes of the future, then you left me who love you just the way you are with an indelible slow-motion memory of how special you were, and how lucky I was to have loved you and been loved by you

While you cited a couple times about loving me as I am, I was speechless in total joy that evening as countless of sweet thoughts of you would be written about that night that your honesty and openness had meant a whole world to this relationship, to this life, to this heart and to me

Who cares if later the night we kissed each other like there would be no tomorrow?

And on last Friday night when moonlight hit half perfection, you encapsulated an enticing love story into a single moment that defined exactly what you have been since you took my breath away 4 months ago in Blue Point, Bali –- a lovingly simple lover, a caring sweetheart, a hopelessly romantic gal

A gal of my dream!

How many times do I have to tell you that you are truly a gal that I have been waiting for to arrive in this life?

There was the time when we had dinner in Living Room, Seminyak Bali, when I stared into your bright eyes, telling you that I love you because you are someone, a gal with caring heart who happens to possess good sense of humor

There was the time when we were walking under the pouring rain in Kuta Bali, when I whispered into your ears before kissed you, revealing you that I love you because you are “Just You”, not a gal with a sexy look that might be so attractive by any means

There were lots of times that I told you that I have always wanted to love you with my own way, with my unique ways to make you feel sincerely loved by me, and I hope one fine day you would replay all sweet memories in your mind about “the way I love you”

With you all the moments seem to last shortly and that will always remind me why I fell in love, first with your smart honesty and caring attitude, then with you

At the end of the day, you are really the best thing that has ever happened to my life

I love you dearly and always will….
I miss you badly and always will…..

With all the love in the world,
Kevin... Kevin... Kevin...

I Miss You

I must tell you this...

I must tell you this as I can't hide anymore as patience is no longer in my list and adamant is no longer my wish because I badly need to see you in person

I must let you know this...

I must let you know this as I see you in my future, a friend who I could laugh with, a soul mate who I could end with, a partner I could lean on during ups and down, thru hills and valleys, thicks and thins

I must see you now...

I must see you now for one reason or many reasons as you are the light of my life, the candle of my night and the smile of my why and I know the blue sky is what we are willing to reach when Bali takes us one fine day

I really wanna see you now...

I hold myself from not missing you, but always ended up with missing you more when days are gone by

I keep myself from not falling into you, but always surrender with increased belief that you are my destination of life despite journey to have you now might be full of rocky roads and bumpy pitstops

I must tell you that I miss you...
I miss you more than you've ever known...
I miss you since we last met in the Coffee Corner...
I miss you when you left me in smile...

And I missed you much since that evening....

Last Friday, 3 October 2008...

A time when clock was ticking harder, out of blue, one sweet email arrived just in time when I realised another weekend was back in panache again

That email was pertaining The Best Moments In Life...

One of twenty two Best Moments In Life is "Listening to a song that reminds you of an important person in your life", and I was suddenly swept away to a moment when a sweet song With Heaven On Our Side by Foreigner was played on LITE FM

This magic song led all my mind to someone I adored, an adorable gal who colored my life with trueness of love that never ends, a kind of love that stays for good in my life, and she has carved a very special place in my heart that only heaven could fix it

Despite reality leads us to different directions of life, our love for each other stands still till words don't rhyme

All of sudden, all this feeling was turned up in joy, swaying my emotion into rapture before dropping her a call telling that our song was in the radio and this was surely another best moment that always put me in total bliss

Song is a pool of lyrics who live with emotions
Song is a language of mystery that moves our world into fragility or eternity
Song is my world of speakings

With songs I could reveal my anguish
With songs I could tell the whole world if I'm in love with you
With songs I could sing my life away in tears, joys or smiles
With songs I could be innocent for all

A song for me is a box of your loving feeling
While lyrics make tones alive and voices make song complete and that's exactly I picture our love in the past which is incomparably sweet

But now, With Heaven On Our Side was no longer in tune as another song had taken the next list when rain started falling then you told me what we had was forever and it was just incomparable that only eternity could describe

Then I know tonight was going into another best evening because I had one best moment of life when listening to the radio the song that reminded me of you

Keep wishing you to be always good, hoping you to be somewhere out there in great shape and longing for one day love would bring you back to me for eternity

I love you and always will....

Life....

"Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight"

"Extend to them all the care, kindness, and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward"

"Your life will never be the same again"

My Best Nephew...

Happiness...

Age and happiness, do the two go together?

I know some very happy close circles and I know some very unhappy ones...
Some of them are older than me and few of them are younger than me...
So what makes them unhappy or happy?
The difference is not in age, but in their attitude towards life

No matter what happens in our life, and no matter how old we are, happiness in life does come down to our attitude towards it...

I recently was reading a book that reflected the thoughts of people who have achieved happiness in their life and the common theme with all of these people is their attitude...

They always had a goal, they always looked for the good in every situation and they always had more they wanted to achieve...

So no matter what our age, young or old, remember it is not our age, but our attitude towards life that will bring happiness...

Would you choose to be happier in this life?
(if yes, you'd be getting the best supporter in me)

It Is The Life...

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years"

.................................................................................

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years"

.................................................................................

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years"

Thanks For The Dancing

I do know how to start but I'm not sure how to end...
It was all started in Tioman Island, an enticing island somewhere in Malaysia...
It was all began with one decent song of Robbie William "Better Man"...

I don't know who started but I could blame a pint of lager to ingite all this closeness before I was lost in dancing floor when "Better Man" swept the whole night into a fragile moment as we were all swayed away in joy

We danced so close and we dance so slow..
We danced with soul and we dance with glow...
We danced with life and all seemed to be right...

(I was so tempted to say......
while our hearts were flying into the night we all knew everything would be alright......)

(...And I must say this to you...)
A load of thanks for dancing with me...
A pool of gratitude for dancing the night with me...
A ton of gratefulness for choosing me as your dancing partner...

That night our souls were tied up into oneness but I know it'd be over when midnight catched up in style

Good bye Tioman Island...
Good bye "Better Man"...
Good bye Malaysia...
We'll see each other again in Thailand next year
(I'm hopeful I'm still with this company and you too)

It Is How That Matters

"It matters not how long we live, but how"

In Tioman Island, Malaysia, on 26 September 2008, one smart colleague of mine, Mrs. Algie shared this joyous statement that later left me in silence as load of truthfulness implied in this simple sentence

While I was trying hard to digest the full meaning of this sentence, my brain was emptied by a series of cracking vista decorated by crawling sunset and shiny waves that cut my lungs

Suddenly I realised that my life was perfectly decorated to enjoy the most of Tioman Island

In later minutes, Mrs. Algie -once again- asked me whether "Is that true that how we live our life matters most?", I then agreed and smiled

(I'm happy to learn that I've chosen a path to live my life to the fullest with "how")

(I'm happy to learn that age may wrinkle our face but I'll never let myself loosen up with
wish to find the best "how" to live my life)

(I'm happy to learn that lack of enthusiasm would wrinkle my soul so I must shun it in this life)

In Tioman Island I learnt something, a decent insight to confirm my tenet that "with whom" and "how" are the most ingredients keys to my utter happiness

Thank you Tioman Island for the good laughter, decent food and pouring lagers
Thank you Tioman Island for two nights where all of us were blended into oneness
Thank you Tioman Island

(Deep down in my heart I do still believe that Bali has still loads to offer)

Today...

"Today is life - the only life you are sure of"...
"Make the most of today"...
"Get interested in something, Shake yourself awake and Develop a hobby"...
"Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you"...
"Live today with gusto"...

A Series of Don't...

Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others...
It is because we are different that each of us is special...

...............................................................

Don't set your goals by what other people deem important...
Only you know what is best for you....

...............................................................

Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart...
Cling to that as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless...

...............................................................

Don't give up when you still have something to give...
Nothing is really over … until the moment you stop trying...

...............................................................

Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect...
It is the fragile thread that binds us to each other...

Slip Thru Your Fingers

........................................................................

Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or the future...

By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life...

........................................................................

It Is All Right...

The fastest way to lose love is to hold on too tightly...
And the best way to keep love is to give it wings...

.........................................................

Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find...
The quickest way to receive love is to give love...

.........................................................

Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart...
Cling to that as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless...

.........................................................

Don't dismiss your Dreams...
To be without dreams is to be without hope...
To be without hope is to be without purpose...

My Loving Grandpa

It should have been a bright new Sunday but I ended up being more than fragile of knowing 20 years ago, on this day, 14 September 1988, my loving grandpa failed to battle his long heart cancer on

Sunday was suddenly calmer than ever...
Sunday was suddenly ended up in purity despite this sunny morning greeted me in cheerful mood as Arsenal beat Blackburn Rovers by 4-0 a night before

My love for him has taken me back to the old days...

It was downhill all the way after my Mother texted me pertaining this remembrance, telling me that grandpa has left us two decades ago and reminding me his enormous love will always be remembered

I'm speechless and all I know he is always in my prayer...

If I could continue, it was a reality check I did not intend to go back, although I must unveil once again that I cried a whole loads in his graveyard 10 years ago when visiting a city where his body was finally rested

It was not a moment to savor either but given the amazing moments before heaven called him in sudden, I was there crying for almost 30-miute, relieving all burdens of failing to be with him in his final hours in one of Bandung's hospitals

No surprise if I felt so blessed to have loved by him in this life

All I could comment is his love on smoking might have hammered his heart...
And his love on lager might have futher failed his lung too...

But his love has always been warm and calm in every walk of my life
And he'll be sorely missed than ever


Grandpa,
You might have left us in the past 20 years but your legacy will live on forever for which I'll carry forward your values of hardworking, honesty and immense loyal to the family

We all know, you'll always be remembered for and sorely missed

Saturday 13 September 2008

This Is What I'm Thinking

"I haven't meet you in person, but I listened your spoken words and read your writen words after there days of virtual gatheringand I was pleased with every honesty you confessed"

"I am not sure if I had met you earlier in this life I would have let you go away without trying to bring you into my life"

"That shows you are smart, caring, well balanced, feet on earth"

"Straight away after our relaxing encounter you shared the consequences of what happened to us and how we have to deal with that in the near future"

"I feel there is more to come for us than the best confession you did unveil that shows a great sign of intelligence, caring and maturity"

Don't Set

Don't set any limitations on me because once I have talent...
The rest is down to how much I want it and to how intelligent I am...

Don't set any limitations on you because once you have talent...
The rest is down to how much you want it and to how intelligent you are...

Don't set any limitations on me because once I have talent...
The rest is down to how much I want it and to how intelligent I am...

Don't set any limitations on you because once you have talent...
The rest is down to how much you want it and to how intelligent you are...
Don't set any limitations on me because once I have talent...
The rest is down to how much I want it and to how intelligent I am...

Don't set any limitations on you because once you have talent...
The rest is down to how much you want it and to how intelligent you are...

Don't set any limitations on me because once I have talent...
The rest is down to how much I want it and to how intelligent I am...

Don't set any limitations on you because once you have talent...
The rest is down to how much you want it and to how intelligent you are...

The Winners Do

I don’t want to end any decent hopes of a cloudy Thursday because revival of sunny day remains likely in later hours

Instead, I do wish to clip any enjoyment of relaxing hours by pushing myself harder to complete various assignments of today as the pressure steadily mounts when this bloody busy weekend approaches

To be frank, I’ll always try my best to meet any deadlines with my best pieces of work and this is a kind of me if I can be honest

I’d never shun for any passing good chance without fighting, and if I shall pass by, it does mean that I’ve done my all but my all might be wasn’t good enough

And if this happens, I’ll never regret it in my life

And I know I might fall into the path of bleak mood or vibrant emotion but for very sure I’d make the most of the fortune of vibrant emotion to come out as a winner with joyful heart

I love winning (if I can be honest)…
But winning with heart is what matters most to me now as I’ve been tied up with the spirit of progress, not the spirit of perfection

That’s why I accept any possibilities of making mistakes because mistakes can make us smarter and better besides they are priceless lessons to learn

If we’re faced with shortfall all we need is to pull ourselves up, dust off, sleeve up, learn from mistakes and move on

That’s what the winners do…

Cloudy Thursday

A blemish day was born as Thursday justified the morning with cloudy sky - and jettison sunny day - on a day where load of works will be flooded to my shoulder

The quest of having challenging day began in earnest with a series disappearing look of blue sky, something I’ll always love to arrive but then just for good measure a cup of black coffee from Starbuck saved my mood from demoralizing

It was all so different to previous morning in the same week, when sunny morning opted for load of joyous mood and saw myself danced in blissful feeling

But today appears a different day, although this was just another day of my stunning life for which signs of my aversion of cloudy morning apparently continues to be
convincing in many ways

Things could be different if cloudy morning falls in Ubud…

In Ubud, one cloudy morning cloudy day would grasp pouring rain to help watering green paddies to grow in style and decorate a series of enticing view that could cut your lung

I was there once, back in February 2008, to witness how a casual morning turned into a vibrant day when rain was falling with panache in the morning hours

Suddenly a decent thought of heaven was created in Bali re-appears with aplomb

(still I don’t know why I fancy Bali too much)
(have I lost my soul in Bali so I shall keep coming back to find it over and over again?)

Few...

Few would bet against me if I say God was smiling when creating Bali
