Another CNY celebrated away from home

Dear whoever who minds reading my blog

Things may look rosy on the pictures in facebook but the truth is its another edition of cny not spent with family...u may think it sucks if u miss out the good food and angpaus...the suckiest of all is not here yet...EXAMS DURING CNY. Well guys and gals, happy chinese new year and have a prosperous niu year without me as some deem me as being properous enough(growing side ways). I wont argue with those who believe what they saw on facebook...it just motivates me further on my gym sessions.

Your long-hibernated-due-to-exam-lazy-blogger,
Darren

Bye Bye Bush

The most unpopular ever President of USA is handing over the reigns today...he left behind trails of destructions in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is so unpopular that it is said anybody coming in can do a better job than him. To his credit, he taught us a great deal in terms of what not to do. However big the mistakes he made, he did the rest of us a favour by showing us the devastating effects of war and economy mismanagement. We will however remember his classical gags:

“You can fool some people all the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on.”

“People sometimes have to correct my English. I knew I had a problem when Arnold Schwarzenegger started doing it.”

“All I can report is it was a size ten.”
After Iraqi reporter Muntadar al-Zeidi hurled a pair of shoes at him during a press briefing.

To Mr Bush: Thanks for your war and economic lessons and happy retirement!

Britain's Got Darren(Talent)

I am so british-biased that I might get stick from somebody some day! I like everything good great britain has got to offer...

I prefer London over other european cities, nothing compares to london in europe. Stepping onto british soil from germany gives me a sense of tranquility and belonging.(the feeling of being in a second home)

When it comes to football, no price for guessing correctly that I am a man utd and england fan. Leona Lewis, take that and many more are examples of fine british pop music. I am so in love with english the language that I would rather spend another 10 years perfecting it than learning the twisted french, spanish, italian and german. The british accent...its almost music to my ears but I will keep my malaysian accent for now.

No matter how many bad things people might say about UK, it will always be a long lasting love affair for me.(literally meaning I am in love with the country)

Run

I must be so outdated to only hear this version from Leona Lewis.(originally from Snow Patrol) Opinions will differ on whether who sings it better...but what a voice!!! How often we come across a true diva blessed with both looks and the vocal prowess. I am now a super leona fan(to be honest I like everything british). Go Leona, show the doubters some raw talent!

access to 2008.doc granted...

It has not been a good 2008 for me but I would not say its totally woeful.
The bad:
1. Sucky results plus falling grades.
2. Hugely demotivated by the lousy weather and people in germany.
3. Rejected by a girl.
4. Gained alot of weight.
5. Has resorted to hard drinking to ease depression.

The good:
1. Realised that I have plenty good friends around when I need them.
2. Realised that I am actually happier to be a giver than a taker.
3. Realised that germany is so beautiful when I look at it closer.
4. Realised that I do have an ammbition to fulfill(and a world to conquer).
5. Realised that I must continue to be myself.

New Year Resolution

With just a blink of an eye 2008 is behind me and 2009 is ahead of me. Do I let the past burden me or should I keep looking forward? I would say I would not forget the past but I will keep moving forward with optimism. I have said a dozen times that it doesn't make a difference whether you want to lead your life happily or full with sorrow. Life just keeps going on regardless of your emotions. Instead of wallowing in sadness or self pity, lets just live life to the max happily...c'est la vie.

I figure this piece of questionaire would lighten things up abit.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America pageant.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and
actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?
The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.
These are no second-rate achievers.
They are the best in their fields.
But the applause dies.
Awards tarnish.
Achievements are forgotten.
Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special!!
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?
The lesson:
The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with
the most credentials..
the most money... or the most awards.
They simply are the ones who care the most.
- Charlie Schulz Philosophy -

Hence my new year resolution...to cherish those who cares about me the most

love is you...

Another night where I'm inspired to write this piece of mind down....I was reading this manga shaman king where there was a part called osorezan revoir. To keep things short and simple, its a story of how asakura yoh first met anna...it really warmed my heart reading it. Love is sweet, be it at first sight or otherwise. Love is heartwarming, be it it is winter night. Love is unwavering, be it when you are 1 or 80. Love is a strong resolve, where you draw courage to protect your loved ones, even giving up your own life. Love is...you.

This is the piece that warmed me...

The person who is waiting for you surely
Won't let you have any lonely feelings.
At least.
At least.

The person who you are meeting surely
won't let you have any lonely feelings.
At least.
At least.

Miserable and abandoned on the road.
Half way through the trip lost all will
And hope.
Love is the meeting.
The seperation.
It's a transparent piece of cloth.
Osorezan re voir.
