Australian Day -- My last day in Domino

26 of Nov is Australia national day. Every Australian will remember this memorable day, perhaps not only the history parts, but also the "skyworks" (fireworks). This year, according to Perth city Mayer, WA had spent 20 millions on the fireworks for this memorable and glory day. The fireworks started at 8pm and last for half hour at Swan river side.

The fireworks were awesome. Although i seen that a lot back home, i still think its has a different with who you've watching with, the different music playing and theme, and the atmosphere and environment you've watching at. I was on my way to Mill Point when the fireworks had started. I could see them from the wind screen of the car, they've really beautiful. It came with different colors and patterns, shooting from the centre of the river and the top of some top buildings. However, the beauty was only last for a few minutes,then they gone forever.

The awkward feeling came to me again. I had that feeling when i said "good bye" to my domino colleagues. I'm forced to leave the work field because my wrist is hurt. Today is my last day of work and i just wanted to keep the precious moment forever..the moment that working with lots of friends... Shiran, Roshan, Pascal,Charita, Joey, Vera, Rishin and etc... I do hope i can stop the time and treasure the happy moment as long as i want, but i know, the good things never last for long. Just like the beauty of the fireworks.

My dear dominians: Thanks for being with me when i need;Thanks for being kind and forgiveness when i made a mistake; Thanks for making me pizza/pasta/lava cakes when i was staving/hungry; Thanks for being not just my colleague, but friends. I appreciate everything you guys had given to me, and i hope, our friendship do not "gone" forever after i left. Stay in touch, ok?

Shooting Stars

I was borne at the modernest city in Malaysia -- Kuala Lumpur. I grew up in between neon lights, shopping malls and cars. My childhood was different from people who are from small town or village, which they spent most of their leisure time by swimming and catching fishes in the river;playing football at the field; climbing on the trees for "fruits".

Those activities mentioned are not familiar for me because i didn't get a chance to walk into "natural" with my "city kid"'s background. I never seen a snake,frog,bug,leach and etc before besides in the Zoo. My whole life, i have been stick to televisions, playgrounds,computers,radios and card or board games. I don't come home with my shirt with mud and i never get a chance to be scolded by my mum of coming back home late for dinner. I don't get a chance to hang around "freely" with friends out of the house because it's city. City is a place that full with bad guys. This is the environment i been raised up.

Some people might think it's lucky to live in the modernest city of a particular region/country because you tend to enjoy the latest technology and newest infrastructures. You can always have lots of entertainment after work, not like small town, everyone gets into bed before 11pm. City is always a place with night lives and eventually KL, has become a dream place for people who lives in a small town or village to pursue, it's the future settle point for them.

When i came to Perth to study 2 years ago, for me Perth, is a small and quiet city. It's different from where the place i been brought up to. It has the beauty of nature, and that is the 1st time i feel i'm getting closer to our mother earth. I always like to watch the stars when i was at KL. Unfortunately i don't get the chance always because lights are everywhere in the city. Moreover, Malaysia is a highly humid country which you always get to see clouds in the sky. Stars gazing is almost impossible for me because the lights blinded my eyes before i see them glowing. Therefore, i'm appreciate and grateful that i came to Perth because, i get to see my favorite thing -- Stars and constellation as well.

I learned the constellations from one of my ex-housemates and now, the football field opposite my place has become my anger/sadness recovering center. When i feel bad/moody/sad/angry, i'll walk from my dom to lye on the grass... winking to my lovely stars and surprisingly, i got to see 3 shooting stars from the sky. I used to think that shooting stars is bright and white in colors that fall from the sky with a long long tail but i had changed my mind after i experienced it. It's orange red in color that flows across the sky for second/seconds. It disappears before you made your wish.

Although the beauty of the shooting star last only for seconds, i still feel grateful because at least i got to see it 'once' in my life. And, do you guys know what wish i had made?

Hope to see "you" again

And i hope, my dream and wish will really come true and last forever till the day i gone.

A Break

I told myself, i have to be strong; I told myself, i can get this through; But, is it gonna work if i keep hypnosis myself that "i'm strong and everything is gonna be fine"...

It's the final call from my chiropractor. She said she is not going to adjust my wrist again if i can't "stop" myself from work. I told her that i need to study during my school starts, i can't avoid writing or typing; During the holiday, i have to work for my pocket money and there is no room for REST. And She said:
"If you wish not to play piano or write again. Remain what you're doing!"

I was shocked during that time. I have no idea that my "clinging" will lead to such a serious consequences. And i ask:
"Can you please give me sometime to tell my manager? At least let me get a chance to say good bye to those people i like being with during my work."

She said:
"Well, it's ok for me. See me again when you settle your stuff. Stop torturing your little wrist."

She doesn't understand, it's a really tough task for me to say good bye to others. She doesn't know how hard it is for me, and obviously she doesn't feel the pain from my broken heart. But i know, for my own good, i need to "leave".

People forgotten always. When you stop showing yourself in front of them, they start forgetting you. They start forgetting your face,name,and lastly, you'll be a stranger they never meet before. The memories faded away when time flies.

I know it is sad to leave you guys... Honestly, this is not something i willing to do but i know, i have to.

Asking for too much

Something bordering me for the past few days... I don't know how to say "goodbye" to you. I'm thinking should i just leaves without notice, or it's ok for a chance to say good bye?

What u did today, help me to made up my decisions. YJ only lives in happy world. Whenever she feels pressure and unhappiness, she left. And i know.. It's time for me to leave.

Sunset

"Do you prefer a sun-rise of sunset?" Answer it with your instinct. If your answer is "sun rise", it means you're a optimistic person; If your answer is "Sunset", it means you're a pessimistic person.

WoWoWo.. I'm not the person who designed the question, therefore please don't ask me why. It's a typical question that asked by a psychologist to identify a person's personality which in turns, explains their characteristics and behaviors that relate to their decision making.

For me, i prefer sunset than sunrise. Maybe because the most direct reason is i cannot wake up in the early morning to catch the sunrise, but i'm definitely awake before the sunset. ^^ But the main reason that i love sunset a lot is, it reminds me that "beauty" is not gonna last forever.

The sunset is beauty and romantic. I wish i can control the time, then i will be able to frozen the "time" and enjoy the beauty and romance forever. Unfortunately, it only lasts for minutes or seconds. The darkness comes after the beauty and romance.

I wish i can learn how to be more grateful, and more appreciation towards things i got/have/own. Because human tends to regret when they lost what they have and they would never learn to appreciate what they have. And i know, without being grateful with what i have, i would not be satisfied with what i have.

I sat on the rock that face towards the ocean, watching the fire ball till it disappeared behind the ocean accompanied by the sound of the waves and sea breeze. Memories started to refill into my head, and i took a deep breath, enjoying the smell carried by gentle wind from the ocean, and i told myself, "it's time to let go..."

Before i left the beach, someone called me and wish to transfer this photo for me. He said: This is the best picture he ever took for the past 2 years. The sadness from my heart has contributed the natural beauty of my character.

Ritesh Birthday

3 days ago i had organised a birthday party for my flatmates Ritz. Before the party, i did told him that i'm going to throw him a party as his parents are not here to celebrate with him. He rejected me politely at first maybe because he thinks its gonna troubles me a lot but at the end, he changed his mind mainly because of my excitement and passionate.
It was a small party as i only invited all my flatmates: Haylee, Kath, Kelvin and 2 friends from the top and bottom flat, Ivan and CheeHau to join us. All of us had a wonderful "vege" party with JD + Coke/cocktail, and everyone had agreed to get drunk during that night. Of course,no one would ever forget the "birthday cake", which is also ours main party surprise: The Strawberry Chocolate Cake from the Cheesecake shop!! I could never forget Ritz with chocolate cream on his face when we "forced" him to use his mouth to pick up the candle.
After the dinner, that's game session begins. The card games and "true or dare" were wonderful, because that's something u can get to know your "friends" better.... And, last but not least, i do sincerely hope Ritz and the others enjoyed the party! Bravo to our little Zimbabwean, it's time to grow up to a man ^^ Cheers!!

Addiction

Twilight Saga, one of my favorite novel series, had addressed the following scene:
Edward: Promise you wouldn't do anything reckless and stupid; And in turn, i promise u that i will never see you again, just like we never meet.

That is the phrase when Edward tried to break up with Bella, the girl he loves. Non-twilight fans may get confuse, Why Edward has to mention "don't do anything reckless and stupid" to be a part of the "broke up" content? The MAIN reason is because, Edward always shown up when Bella is in danger and helpless. Edward will be right beside her whenever she needs.

After the break up, Edward did keep his promise, he disappears from Bella life. He took away all their photos, CDs, notes, letter, almost everything that can be used to prove they were together once. Bella is in pain. She is depress, upset and got hurt. She miss him so much, and she just don't know what to do to see this guy again. Then, memories remind her that, Edward will always show up when she is in danger. So, she rides on the motorcycle;She jump from the cliff, because in her mind, she can meet her boy again by risking her life.

It seems ridiculous for those people who did that. But in real life, girls/boys did risk themselves to get to see the person he/she loves. But if the boy/girl always respond to the situation, they might got addicted. They will put themselves at risk once again when you refuse to pick up their call, reply sms, hang out with them etc. Reckless and stupid things they did, just to see you again. If you love your gf/bf much, please do not misuse the power of love, and put yourself at risk. If this happen again and again, it is an addiction.

An addiction to hurt yourself.
