Friends

Haha, another sleepless night for me,though of my choosing this time. (Herbal Tea > Coffee and Tea)

It's specifically in the late hours of our time that an old friend of mine from Europe whom I haven't talked to for months, maybe an entire year nudged me on MSN.

Turns out life's been great for him since I last talked to him, he's got a great GF and enjoying life.
As we began talking about stuff of how we got to know each other and all, something he said really struck a nerve in me.

"Back then in guild chat, you and my family were basically the only ones who bothered to talk and listen to me."

That touched my heart really, more so that he continued on saying how great a guy i was (Ok, for those who know me in real life, don't break his nice illusion of me please~).

Then as we talked and chatted, I started pouring out stuff I normally don't tell even some of my best friends, it was like what he said struck a nerve in me and I had some kinda connection.

For once in a long time, I didn't have to make myself smile, it came from the heart. =)

I realised how cold and distant I've probably been to the people around me, there are tons of people caring and looking out for me and I've probably been a royal pain in the neck trying to annoy them off me.

I really need to get my priorities straight.

That being said, I probably should finish studying for my Electronics test later.

Thanks Jeff for dropping by and saying hello, you'll probably never see this blog, but my thanks to you for lighting up my day come from my heart. Thanks for teaching an iceberg to love and embrace the sun.

Thanks mate!

Deathly Hallows~ THE END~

Spoilers below, don't say I never warn you Haris.


So, after so many books, so many years, it's finally over.
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows.

Even as this greatest of stories draws to a dramatic end, a strange feeling chokes my throat as pepper seems to get in my eyes every time I finish a long series.
This is the end, for us all.

Goodbye Harry, he who accepted Death, who passed on and came back, he who believed in strength and courage even to the very end.
Your story will never end, but will survive the depths of time as we reminiscence over and over again the laughter, sorrow, hate and love that passed through his eyes, and perhaps eventually the eyes of his sons and daughter.

Goodbye Ron, who faced fear and despair, yet found it within himself to pull out the courage to trust and to love. We will miss you dearly as friend, brother, and father.

Goodbye Hermione, so diligent and true. Tis not wit that makes the best of a witch, but also what she chooses to do with it. You stayed true to the cause even as all hope seemed faltered, never relenting, ever awake.
Look after Rose and Hugo, perhaps they will grow up to be the witch and wizard their parents were true and true.

Farewell Severus, in your final moment was the truth known and all malice forgotten.
You had known love, you never forgot it and it was love that brought you on this forsaken road, in search of that which you had lost, forever more to your own hatred. Perhaps we all hide a part of Snape in ourselves, trying so hard to love, yet ending up hurting those that we love the most.

Farewell Voldemort, you knew not love, you knew not friendship yet these are the very things you fell though, with your scorn and despise for them. We will remember you and remember to hold dear that which you loath, for it will be what liberates our souls as we venture near to darkness.

We pay homage to those who died, giving their lives for the cause, believing always in freedom and love, even in the face of death. You died to protect those you loved and forever more will your memory be ingrained in our hearts.

R.I.P Mad Eyed Moody, Hedwig, Dobby, Lupin, Tonks, Fred, Colin, Snape and so many more who could not live to see the world that was free once more.

It feels strange, finally finishing the story.
As if a part of you suddenly opened, creating some kind of gap inside,
an empty gap that makes you feel hollow, as if you're incomplete.

Perhaps it will never heal.

Till the day that an angel cometh......

Michael Learns to Rock!!! *Not that they need do, they already rock the world*


<3 That's right, I was in Genting for the Michael Learns to Rock Asian World Tour ^^

And I've got to say, they still rock this world and the next!

The show started shortly after 8pm with some new songs that I wasn't really familiar with. *Ok lah, sua ku long time nvr listen to English song*

But even if you've never heard it, you only need one time to fall in love all over again with the great music that they've been performing for nearly 20 years.

They went on to present a few new songs freshly out of the oven, set for release with their next album. Omg, time to save my $$$ for an album worth buying.

Jascha Richter had a fun night it seems, playing around with the songs, first toying with the keyboard, then grabbing up a guitar later on to strum it up with Lentz, Wanscher, and apparently a new bassist they recruited. Lentz seemed to be preparing for a marathon as he pranced all around the stage, showing off his superb guitar skills to the audience.

That being said, there's a comedic side to them as well as they proceeded to leave the stage after claiming "Hey, you guys know how to sing the songs so we can go home now." after an audience sing along for 'The Actor'.

But hey, Jascha was back on stage within the minute playing a few soothing new singles on the keyboard before going on to perform hit oldies like 'Sleeping Child', '25 Minutes', 'Paint My Love' and many more.

But good things never do last forever.
As the last key fell for 'That's Why', we knew it was over when they held hands and bowed to the audience as we clapped fantastically for one of the best performances you'll see this side of the globe for a longgggg time.

So everyone, let's hear it for Michael Learns to Rock!!!!!

"I won't forget, the way, you're kissing~~
The feeling so strong~
Were lasting for so long~~~

But I'm not the man,
Your heart~
Is missing~~~
That's why you go,
Away I~~~ know
That's why you go~
Away I~~~ know~~~~~"


P/S Special props to my dad for getting tickets for me, Joon Hai and Sureewong to go watch this bombastic show, and also for the fattening meals we had on our way up and down.
Slops to Haris for not being around to watch it with us, BOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Oh ya, below are some pictures I finally got back from my friend for my Singapore trip wayyy back during semester holidays. Bon Appetite~
