1 thing 2 say 3 words 4 you.. ~ :)

Yesterday, I chatted with a dear friend and enjoyed every minute of the long conversation. We randomly keep in touch, perhaps roughly just 5 times a year if I had quantify/put a numeric to it, but she's one of those few who makes me feel so at ease talking to and brightens up the day even if its night ;)

Ok guys, if you're Muslim/Malay, I'd like to play matchmaker with this superb girl! HAHA.

Today, I dropped her a message and led me to this remarkable song. I love this band and a few of their songs. I adore this clip that they've made for the song. Its so meaningful, touching and adorable; but most importantly, simple. And, its location is CHICAGO!! Feels awesome to recognise the sites and in my heart, to say, "I've been there." It brings a lot of bittersweet memories. But I am gradually remembering only the sweet bits. :)

I've also just found out that this group, the Plain White T's is from Chicago's suburbs!

Perhaps some day, I can add my story to the clip. *smiles*
eNjoY~

Taking pleasure against Wind and Rain..

Many leave thoughts, opinions and expressions.
Today, I would like to write akin to a journal entry.
Here goes;

A friend came down over the weekend to visit another friend. I am very glad and happy to be in their company. We decided to go for one of the wonderful walks around the area and chose a 'moderate' one, with a distance of roughly 6 miles, taking between 2-4 hours, and with the highest altitude being around 1000ft.

Now, we were meant to take the train to the starting point to save time as it was rather far away. However, there were no trains available that day! And the bus timetable squeezed time out of us. Nevertheless, being ambitious, determined and 'casual', we dressed quickly and left.

The rain was pouring, the wind howling and turning raindrops into pellets stinging our faces as we walked against it. The reverberating sounds of tiny bullets against our rain jackets continued throughout the walk. We didn't quite end up the route we were meant to go. I did, however, thoroughly enjoyed the amiable chat, the comfortable company and the exuberant smiles in spite of soggy socks + shoes, damp clothes and shoe-sinking muddy grounds mixed with 'enriching' by-products of farm animals. HAHA. =D

We walked back by the sea and the estuary, against v.e.r.y strong winds. I wouldn't be surprised if it was 70mph! It completely dried out my jacket and trousers! As we walked by the estuary, the setting sun finally peeked through the wispy grey clouds and gave us a 'Twilight' moment (Pun intended!).

It was just too bad that I was still feeling short of good health and could not continue the great company through the night.

This would be one of those things where with the right company, I believe, one can enjoy a different perspective. It definitely gave me a memorable one.


Note: OHCM surgical chapter must be written by a woman, or at least partly!..or, a very intelligent man, because a section of it goes, "...ideally, this should be from the surgeon herself."
Utter brilliance!
HAHAHA =D *wicked*

*Silent surprises~

Almost everyday, I learn something new from you,
And on days that I don't, I learn something new about myself.

This, is hard to come by.
And things hard to come by,
yet often occurring,
takes you by surprise;

You think about what's happening,
And then when you realise,
It is an inexplicable moment;
one to ponder, one to reflect,
and one to wonder, or to deflect.



An apple.
A fruit,
A rotten apple,
or the apple of my eye?
Or the forbidden fruit,
or the fruit in a child's fantasy (disney),
or the fruit of peace (in cantonese),
or the fruit of technology (apple inc.)?
Or the fruit of health - to keep the doc away?
The apple.

Under the weather..

When you're not feeling quite right..
You just yearn for that ray of light to be shone upon you,
The warmth on your skin,
That special scent by your cheek,
The enveloping tenderness..
