Never Expressing Much?

hello you!

yes, i am back to blog..

finally i have some time in my hands!

lol...

we, humans are very very capable of not expressing ourselves well..

but that does not mean that we don't feel, or that we are cold-blooded creatures.

and i think that no matter how cold that person may be,

somewhere, somehow, in that deep little thing called heart,

is so so full of emotions.

the emotions of us hurting, loving, being happy, being sad,

emotions of anything at all.

and yes, sometimes we find it so darn hard to even say the easiest thing

some people are just more open to saying those stuff

and some people are just not

not to say that i'm blaming anyone,

but that's just how God made us

Different

is the word for it.

it might be easy for you to think that i'm such a person

but i, too, have my own emotions

just like any other human beings

i get sad, i get mad, i get hurt, i laugh, i smile, i cry, i love

so, we are never too different from each other.

because all of us have those emotions planted inside our bodies

we learn to love, learn to trust, learn to laugh, learn to cry, learn to console, learn to hug

and there's a limit to one's emotion can do.

when it's stretched beyond the line

it might just break loose

and it might be gone

nah.. i'm not being a sadist or feeling emo..

no worries. i am fine!

for i am von!

=)

i love everybody around me

in case that nobody knows

and i love you.

and if i open my heart to you

i'm hoping you'll show me what to do

and if u help me decide again

know i will be there for you

in the end

From Gay to Nay

ever been so happy?
so so so happy that you think you're the only one in the world?
like what this picture below portrays?

happiness












well,
then have you ever been so sad?
for one moment
just one moment
you were looking forward to knocking off
feeling so happy


and the next thing you knew
something or rather, someone
turned it upside down in just a blink of an eye?
and that it makes you wish that you never knocked off work?

i feel so sad looking at this picture

Remember The Times

remember the times when we use to go for music lesson together?
remember how we got the same teacher?
remember how you use to make baked potatoes with mashed mayo eggs?
remember how we made pita bread together?
remember how we use to play with each other?
remember how we use to translate idioms with each other?
remember the times we quarreled over small things?

remember the times where you use to pay for everything when we went out?
remember the times you get stuff for me on my birthday?
remember the times you surprised me on my birthday?
remember the times when we use to sing together?
remember the times when you would always give in to me?
remember when we would hold hands to sleep just because i felt scared?
remember how you would hug your Smelly Rabbit to sleep?



i don't seem to remember much anymore.
everything is slowly becoming unclear.
but i do miss you.
a hell lot.
do you miss me too?
i love you jie.
RIP 27.09

that i would be loved
even when i numb myself
that i would be good
even when i'm overwhelmed
that i would be loved
even when i was fuming
that i would be good
even if i was clingy

Mariah Carey - Bye Bye

This is for my peoples
Who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby
Your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye
No, no, no

Mamas, daddys, sisters, brothers
Friends and cousins
This is for my peoples
Who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
Cause we will never say bye

As a child there were them times
I didn't get it
But you kept me in line
I didn't know why
You didn't show up sometimes
On Sunday mornings and I missed you
But I'm glad we talked through

All them grown folk things
Separation brings
You never let me know it
You never let it show
Because you loved me and obviously
There's so much more left to say
If you were with me today
Face to face

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on I wish
I could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by

And it's true that you've
Reached a better place
Still I'd give the world to see your face
And be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say

Bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye

You never got a chance to see
How good I've done
And you never got to
See me back at number one
I wish that you were here
To celebrate together
I wish that we could
Spend the holidays together

I remember when you used to
Tuck me in at night
With the teddy bear you gave me
That I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
You'd make it through whatever
It's so hard to accept the fact
You're gone forever

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on I wish
I could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by

And it's true that you've
Reached a better place
Still I'd give the world to see your face
And be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say

Bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye

This is for my peoples
Who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby
Your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye

Mamas, daddys, sisters, brothers
Friends and cousins
This is for my peoples
Who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
Cause we will never say bye, bye.

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on I wish
I could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by

And it's true that you've
Reached a better place
Still I'd give the world to see your face
And be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say

Bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye

and i think she's hot! somehow.. in her own way..

sorry i've never told you
