Is It You?

Is it me? Will it be me?
Is it you? Will it be us?


Cassie - Is It You

I'm looking for a lover not a friend
Somebody who can be there when I need someone to talk to
I'm looking for someone who won't pretend
Somebody not afraid to say the way they feel about you

And I'm looking for someone who understands how I feel,
Someone who can keep it real and who knows the way
The way I like to have it my way
And I'm looking for someone who takes me there,
Wants to share, shows he cares
Thinkin your the one that I've been waiting for

Is it you? is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be the one I need?

Is it you? is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me? (Could you be?)
Could you be the one I need?

I'm looking for someone to share my pain (Uh)
Someone who I can run to, who would stay with me when it rains
Someone who I can cry with through the night
Someone who I can trust who's heart is right
And I'm looking for someone

And I'm looking for someone who understands how I feel,
Someone who can keep me real and who knows the way

The way I like to have it my way
And I'm looking for someone who takes me there,
Want to share, shows he cares
Thinkin your the one that I've been waiting for

Is it you? is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be the one I need?

Is it you? is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be this one I need?

Someone who wont take for granted
How much I care (How much I care)
And appreciates that I'm there
Someone who listens
And someone I can call who isn't afraid of love to share

Is it you? is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be the one I need?

Is it you? is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be the one I need?

Life Goes On

*sigh.....tiredddddddddd
Finally, managed to push myself to write another entry. Geezzz...my muse (and mood) have been ruined lately. Ok let's start with a colleague's farewell. Today was his last day. He said goodbye, and some of the girls were almost couldn't help not to cry. Well, C**** was his first and only one project. And we had this kinda strong bond, since there were so much time we spent together. No inet connection, no YM made us talk alot....;D

Everybody's leaving, with different reasons...
I never really had a little farewell like this afternoon. He bought us Izzi Pizza (for the very first time, and last probably) and yeah...just like Matrix Revolution tagline, Everything that has a beginning, has an end....Eventually, we all will move on with our lives....the only thing we can keep was a box full of memories, good or bad....wish you all the best, mate!

After that little farewell, I played futsal again with my colleagues. Wow...it's been...ermmmm...two months(?) since the last time I played. I often lost my breath quickly. Darnn....my stamina was getting worse. Gotta work out (can I?) more....despite of the tiredness, it felt so good to play again.

Another thing...this morning Elisha finally gave up. On my way to the office, near Jubilee the gear set got stuck. It was bent badly. I was like !#@%#$%$ I already planned to take her to get periodic check up this Saturday, but she couldn't hold on any longer. Great, I said to myself. Flood in front of Artha Gadink forced me to go through alternative road. Raining along the way, forgot to wear sandal, thus my shoes were wet. And Elisha broke down plus I didn't bring any wrench.... But luckily, the rain stopped when Elisha gave up and I already passed the flood area. And then not too long after that, another guy was walking down his motorcycle, it seemed that he had a flat tire. *Thank God (not for him having flat tire, but because I could borrow his wrenches). Then he also helped me to fix the chain that was stuck. I thanked him and he continued walking..... There's still humanity in this world. We still have hope....

Then I got an 'Ojek' to get me and Elisha to the nearest mechanic shop. Got there, and I had to replace the gear set. Argghhhhhh.....well what could I say or do..I had to. Darnn....Today's really topped the latest series of my misfortune from Monday. Rain, flood, forgot to bring wallet and cellphone, waiting almost an hour on a bus....soaked wet all the way back home last nite...just swell...Ermmm...made me thinking...what have I done to deserve this? Have I done something wrong?
I think most of us would think like that. When we experienced something bad, something that we don't like, we're asking...why? Either it's a punishment from God, a bad karma that we have to reap because we sow bad seeds....

There's a saying, Trials and bad times show the real quality of a person. *My mind is officially incoherent now...My point is, shit happens. It can be a big shit, medium shit, or small shit. It can happen to anyone of us at any given day and time. The question we should ask ourselves is, what are we going to do with the shit? Complain? Ignore? Try to clean it up?
At the end of the day...no matter what you do, the sun set like it always do, the world still revolving, and life still goes on. These shits I experienced eventually passed. And if I didn't write this blog, I'd probably forget about them in a short time. But what I remember would be the lessons I could learn from all of these shits. They'd all be like sands on the beach compared to this life.

Bedtime Stories

post #323

Okay, today marked my last holiday...tomorrow (sadly) I'd go back to work. It's been a great holiday.....after the road trip I practically just watching Friends (again), eating, hanging out at coffee place, shopping, watching movie at theaters, sleeping, slumbering....everything but work.....and that's my friend is what I call holiday...yeahhhhhh....Too bad it's gonna end in a couple of hours. Well, I didn't really complain since I almost got bored....I need some activity, productive one...not spending money one...

Watching Friends again for the-I-don't-know-how-many times still entertaining. There were some guest stars that I recognized such as Hugh 'Dr. House' Laurie, the oh-so-beautiful-british-accent Helen Baxendale, the guy from Sex and The City, and the guy who's playing Agent Don Self in Prison Break season 4. Wow....TV serial world was such a small world. *Like the real one wasn't small enough ;D

"Happy ending does not happen in real life."

That's such a blow that Adam 'Skeeter' Sandler said to his nephew and niece when they asked him to read them bedtime stories. Watched the movie on Friday evening and I had to say it's funny, Adam Sandle typical kind of funny (it Rob Schneider, though he wasn't credited). The story was nice, and the humor language was 'polite' enough to be watched by all age.

Hmmm....does it (the pessimistic sentence) true? Kinda similar with the one Will Smith said in 'The Pursuit of Happiness'. Is real life so cruel that happy ending can never happen?

Is this one of the cause that people become so cold and bitter, toward others and even toward themselves? This 'reality' forged a sense of pessimism in their mind, prevented them to dream a happy ending in their life. It stopped people from dreaming.

There's an optimistic line said if it's not beautiful (happy), it's not the end. Implicitly it stated that happy end does exist....but then I guess the real question for us to answer is, how can we have our happy ending?

Well for starter...in the movie Skeeter did something extraordinary. He managed to be a hero by saving his nephew and niece's school, getting a new place for the new hotel, making the fairest girl in the town impressed, then after that, he got his happy ending.

I guess the point is that each and everyone of us have to fight for it, fight for our dreams. We have to create our (happy) ending. We have to struggle to realize the fairy tale, no matter how hard it seems.
For how long? I dunno.
Will it ever come true? I dunno.

One thing I know for sure....it'll worth the fight, the struggle.
And once it comes true, it'll surely a hella of bedtime stories to be told to my children (hypothetically speaking)...giving them the courage...keeping their hope alive....to be dare to dream because they'll learn that happy ending do exist in real life...for those who fight for it.

So...in this new year...let's start writing our own ending, the way we want it.
Happy New Year


Michael Guang - Fairy Tale*

I've forgotten how long it has been
Since the last time I heard you
Telling your beloved story
I've thought for a long time
I start to panic
Wondering if I have done something wrong?

You told me as you cried
That everything in fairy tales are all lies
I can't possibly be your prince
But perhaps you don’t understand either
Ever since you told me you loved me
The stars in my sky has lightened up

reff:
I'm willing to be
That angel you love inside the fairytale
Spread up my hands
And turn them into wings to protect you
You must believe
Believe that we can be like that in the fairytale
Where blessings and happiness is the ending


You told me as you cried
That everything in fairy tales are all lies
I can't possibly be your prince
But perhaps you don’t understand either
Ever since you told me you loved me
The stars in my sky has lightened up


reff

I want to be
That angel you love inside the fairytale
Spread up my hands
And turn them into wings to protect you
You must believe
Believe that we can be like that in the fairytale
Where blessings and happiness is the ending


I will be
That angel you love inside the fairytale
Spread up my hands
Become the wings to protect you
You must believe
Believe that we can be like that in the fairytale
Prosperity and happiness is the ending

Together we can write our own ending
