A new day

Gone were the days that I could feel miracles would happen. But I still believe in it. For waking up itself is a proof that we are still alive, it is up to us to make our own miracles!

Here's to another new day, and yes, a new beginning. As people would always say, "You will either sink or swim", I will swim.

Small car

A small car has its limitation. There's only as fast as it can go, or as quick as it can turn. People often say, "The car's limitation is only limited by the driver." I'd beg to differ. There's only that limit it can go. Any faster than that, the bolts might be loosen due to the vibration of trying to beat the top speed. Any quicker turning, it'll just turn turtle.

The car knows the driver well, for all drivers in the world want a fast car. it will try it best. But what you don't realize is, it may have done the best that it can. So, there's no other way left. All it can do is to throw away the extra back seats, chunk away the spare tyre, lower it to the ground even lower than it should, cut holes to make it more aerodynamic etc. Is it worth it?

Dear little car. Don't feel bad for being little. Sometimes we are born small. We aspire to grow big. We try to go faster. Beyond your limit, you feel like you are being torn apart. You install turbo, liquid nitrogen, change your engine, all those that makes you feel you have changed so much, you start to doubt if you are still you. But yes, you are still you. Just like real steel, you may be old, you may be weak. With determination, anyone can succeed. Just keep going little car. One of these days, you will be a bigger car. I promise that.

Survive the new year

I know it should be happy new year, but for me, it'd be just about surviving. It feels like a tough year ahead. And it doesn't even take more than a month to realize that.

Welcome to the new year, me. I always try to not put so much high hopes, especially when it is regarding others. For people do disappoint, they are not perfect too. But in times of need, I forgot. When I'm desperate for a change, I can't help but to hope. A hope for a better tomorrow.

Why do I make it sound like it's the end of the world? Hell no, I know it isn't the end of the world. Just a disappointed person ranting here. No one's fault I'm sure.

Blog oh blog, how I've missed you. You know, every time I post something here, it's as if I am talking to myself. If it wasn't for the recent MBTI test that I've taken, I'd think me crazy as well.

Apparently, I think like an introvert. I prefer to talk in my own head, blog and write diary then talking to others. Oh wait, I don't write any diary. =P

Sigh... I don't handle depression well. Or disappointment. Crap... I only make a fair weathered friend. I suck at all these. When I'm unhappy, I can't seem to write anything about it. It is difficult to express it. My thoughts run wild. I can't seem to think of anything positive. And this is the part where I know I need to sleep. Sleeping the anger off. But I can't.

I'm tired feeling that the world owes me something. No one does. I need to fight for it. And this is me telling myself, "Hey you! You are no fucking doormat. You are not a pushover, and people will not take you for granted. Your brain is a gift, so use it wisely. Don't wait to be discovered! You have to show to people that you can do things. Be appreciated!".

So, this year, it's not about survival. I will be better, and I will kick ass.

Superman

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
I’m just out to find
The better part of me

I’m more than a bird...i’m more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It’s not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I’ll never see

It may sound absurd...but don’t be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...but won’t you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
It’s not easy to be me

Up, up and away...away from me
It’s all right...you can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy...or anything...

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me
Inside me
Yeah, inside me
Inside of me

I’m only a man
In a funny red sheet
I’m only a man
Looking for a dream

I’m only a man
In a funny red sheet
And it’s not easy, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm...

Its not easy to be me

P.s: If you fail, try and try again.

How much are you worth actually?

You really need to be exposed to know how much are you worth. In fact, for most of the fresh graduates, they don't know it at all!

I was one of them. Thinking that because I'm a fresh graduate, I'll take whatever shitty pay, shitty job and anything shitty. All for just one reason: I'm fresh. So here am I to correct everyone.

NO. You have to remember, like what Loreal said "Because you're worth it!". Yes! We are worth it!

Tips for freshie, there's no such thing as you should take any shit given. Always remember that although you may not have the relevant experience, but at least you have the qualification. Although you can't expect them to pay you more than the market price, but at least they can't pay you any lesser. Being paid at the market price is only because that is the market price. Any lower shows that the employer is cheap, and seriously, don't bother working there. And if you already are, then continue looking for new job.

Some employers have the mentality of Beyonce's song: Irreplaceable. If that is the case, if you are so replaceable, I gotta say, by all means, let them replace you. Dwelling in that position any longer changes nothing. Of course, this applies both ways. Just remember that if you are not appreciated, go to elsewhere that will appreciate you.

Given the right talent, knowledge and skills, there definitely are other places that value you.

Why am I posting this? Because I want to let you know that we are worth more than we think. And after you have read this, I doubt that you will keep it to yourself and yourself only. But I actually don't mind, cause this is not a news for anyone. Given a crappy working environment, anyone will leave if there's a better offer. What's new right?

Pray

Verse 1:
(oh oh oooh, oh oh ooh, oh oh oooh)
(And I pray)
I just can't sleep tonight,
knowing that things ain't right.
It's in the papers, it's on the TV,
it's everywhere that I go.
Children are crying, soldiers are dying,
some people don't have a home.

Pre Chorus:
But I know there's sunshine beyond that rain,
I know there's good times behind that pain, (hey)
Can you tell me how I can make a change?

Chorus:
I close my eyes, and I can see a better day,
I close my eyes and pray.
I close my eyes and I can see a better day,
I close my eyes and pray.

Verse 2:
I lose my appetite, knowing kids starve tonight
Am I a sinner? Cause half my dinner,
Is still there on my plate.
Ooh I got a vision, to make a difference,
and it's starting today.


Cause I know there's sunshine beyond that rain,
I know there's good times beyond that pain
Heaven tell me I can make a change.

Chorus:
I close my eyes, and I can see a better day,
I close my eyes and pray. (yeaah)
I close my eyes and I can see a better day,
I close my eyes and,

Bridge:
I pray for the broken-hearted,
I pray for the life not started.
I pray for all the lungs not breathing,
I pray for all the souls that need a break,
Can you give 'em one today?


I just can't sleep tonight,
Can someone tell me how to make a change?

End Chorus:
I close my eyes, and I can see a better day,
I close my eyes and pray, (Ooh)
I close my eyes and I can see a better day,
I close my eyes and I pray, (ooh)
I pray, I pray
I close my eyes and pray.



Yes, I know how to change.

There must be more to life.

Yea, yea

Oh ohh, yeaaa



I've got it all, but I feel so deprived

I go up, I come down and I'm emptier inside

Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I'm missing

And why can't I let it go



There's gotta be more to life...

Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me

Cause the more that I'm...

Tripping out thinking there must be more to life

Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more

Than wanting more



I've got the time and I'm wasting it slowly

Here in this moment I'm half way out the door

Onto the next thing, I'm searching for something that's missing



There's gotta be more to life...

Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me

Cause the more that I'm...

Tripping out thinking there must be more to life

Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more

I'm wanting more.....



I'm always waiting on something other than this

Why am I feelin' like there's something I missed.....



There's gotta be more to life...

Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me

Cause the more that I'm...

Tripping out thinking there must be more to life

Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more to life...



Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me

Cause the more that I'm...

Tripping out thinking there must be more to life

Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more to life....life..

ohh...more to life..life..theres gotta be more to life...

ohh...more to life....theres gotta be more to life...ohhh
