Friends First

Friends First by Jeff Roher

I ask you for forgiveness;
For what?
I really do not know,
I ask you for understanding;
As to why?
We never had a chance to grow.

Emotions overflowing;
Everything moving so fast,
Making my world a blur,
Everything with you felt so right,
So beautiful, and then just like that,
It was over.

It was over -
Really just what was "it",
That was never meant to last?
I was living in the moment,
Under a spell from which,
Your beauty cast.

Two people that shared,
A few precious moments in time together,
We shared too much, too fast,
None of which I regret, whatsoever.

It was over, I think not,
Maybe a new beginning to an abrupt end,
A new chance for us,
To enjoy a new friend.

Footprints left in the sand,
Can be made by anyone wherever, whenever,
Footprints left in the heart,
Made by a friend lasts forever.

Two people so perfect for each other,
Two birds of the same feather,
Friends first was our promise,
Friends we will remain together.

Annoying Hic...Hiccups!

Ugh, the hiccups were killing me! I drank a lot of water but failed to get rid of them. I wanted a 10-second way to cure them and so I googled cure for hiccups. Then, I found a quick and effective way and it worked great!

It's called the "Drink Entire Glass Of Water While Blocking Both Ear And Nose" Method
1. Fill to the brim a glass of water.
2. With your thumbs, plug your ears.
3. With your index fingers, plug your nostrils (squeeze to close).
4. With both ears and nostrils plugged, use your remaining free fingers to grasp the glass and raise it to your mouth.
5. Drink the entire glass of water without releasing ears or nostrils.
6. YOU MUST FINISH THE ENTIRE GLASS OF WATER without releasing ears or nostrils.
7. Once empty, gently place the glass on the table and SLOWLY unplug ears and nostrils and take a first breath.
8. Hiccups are gone!
IMPORTANT: PLEASE AVOID ATTEMPTING THIS CURE IN THE PRESENCE OF people who will make fun of you and try to make you laugh.
DO IT ALONE THE FIRST TIME and you'll soon be able to suggest it to your friends and other 'unbelievers'.

I followed all 7 steps which led to a result of 8. So, yaaaaaaaaay!!!

My "To Must Do List"

Every line across the items on my list takes me closer to where I wanna be.

1. Apply for a passport.
2. Pay the SEVIS fee.
3. Pay Alliance Bank the visa application fee.
4. Book the interview date with U.S. embassy.
5. Prepare the documents for the interview. Almost done.
6. Go for medical check up and feel the needles in my veins.
7. Book a room in the hostel.
8. Book flight ticket.
9. Shop!

I'm almost there, I think.

Chasing My Dreams

Every decisive step leads me closer to my dreams and the time I step into a land of glittering dreams, that will be the day when I start to dream new dreams but at the same time not forgetting the road that will lead me home again.

Some people dream, some make them come true!

The Alliance Bank Incident

It was a moment of carelessness that led to this disaster on the road. Thank God it wasn't that serious but still my cousin's car was badly damaged and this lesson was paid to be bitterly learned.

The scattered pieces of I'm-not-sure-what flew up the dented bonnet. They were probably the broken pieces of the headlight. That was when my soul came out to wander. My mind went blank but in this state, I managed to signal to the left and stop by the roadside. The panicky me got down from the car and stared blankly at the truck driver till the kind uncle reminded me to call my parents and so I did. Then, I rushed to Alliance Bank to pay for the visa application fee and waited till mum arrived. Surprisingly, I didn't get any scoldings which made me feel even guiltier. It was clearly my fault but I learned my lesson well.

There's always a first time to everything. Almost everything.

My Own Version Of Shrek

Shrek's heart is sour being left alone in the deafening silence, with no Princess Fiona, not even donkey, just he and his swamp. It's really not easy being abandoned by choice and now Shrek is left with no choice but to build a ten-foot wall around him.

Fairy tales don't always have happy endings, do they?

Karaoke Marathon

Lately, I've been doing a lot of Karaoke with friends who love to sing and I'm starting to get bored of it. Five times a week is too much and since this is my last week of work, I don't wanna give myself anymore extended lunch breaks just for the sake of singing.

So there are a few of my current favorite videos on youtube which HJ recommended and thought they might suit my mood. Yes, they do and that's why they're what I've been listening to lately.

This is my favorite duet song which Yu recommended.



坏人 is one of HJ's favorite and this scene in the MTV reminds me of someone.

Precious Memories

After work, I drove around the places where we used to go and stopped by the roadside with this ICED coconut milkshake in my hand. Or should I say "FROZEN coconut milkshake"? Whatever it is, I still need to thank lovely Tigger for it.

Today, I reminisced on sweet memories. It was a night filled with sentimental moments on this pathetic little bench by Malacca River where we took turns to lie down on our sweaty backs and trust me, I can still remember the stinky smell of your shirt (Eww..) as strong as I can remember the smell of Armani (Ahh..)!

I pictured you giving me a piggy back ride without your shirt on and no, I didn't get down the car to jog but I felt good to watch the scenes repeating in the back of my head.

I see your face in my mind, all the time. I can still smell you on random days and sometimes, I stare blankly and picture you standing, watching me from the glass window at my workplace, drinking from a bottle with your hand in your pocket, like this one time. I remember that smile and the look in your eyes. You're far away and it seems like impossible to lay my hands on you but I would rather choose to continue living in my fairy tale fantasies like how I always imagine you walking into my counter, surprising me, just so I can feel you here with me.

I miss how you held my hand in Sushi King. I miss the way you used to say "Shh..." to calm my fears. I miss making 'gold' our chat topic. I miss how we let our imaginations run wild. I miss the laughter we shared. Your words. Many, many, many smiles and some tears. I miss everything about you.

At the moment, "All Out Of Love" is my current favorite song. You requested to sing it both times we went karaoke and I didn't expect myself to be singing it alone in this petite room which seemed to be so huge without you around. I wish to see you again. I miss being with you. *Grabs pen and quickly includes this into my wish list*. Yes, I <3 to dream!

And I wanna make it come true =)
