Strum! Strum!

Strum! Strum! Strum!

Hooray!

Finally I bought my guitar last Wednesday night. For me it was a best deal already. I considered buying second hand guitar to be just practical a bit. I was so lucky I found a seemed brand new "second hand guitar" at Admiralty Shop. It's a Semi-Acoustic guitar because I can actually plug it in to a sound system. I am so excited to learn more about playing a guitar. I already know the basic. My mom was my mentor before. I need to tune first the guitar to have a better sound. So fun! Can't wait to play my first song and record it. I am quite busy compiling a songbook now. All my favorite songs with chords. I will really try to learn more. Wish me luck!. *Wink*

Full Moon in the morning?

Wow!! is the word that came out from my mouth when I gazed such wonderful sight in the sky early this morning at around 7:30 am. I can see a full circle light embracing the whole blue sky as it was like floating between these tall buildings. It was so beautiful and while looking at it, it's like I'm imagining two swans under it mesmerizing the serenity of a perfect romance. The color is blended with dark orange and yellow that glows marvelously; encircling a dark black ring in it. I'm viewing its full circle at the eighteenth floor of the HDB flat where I'm staying. I'm not sure whether it is the moon or the sun rising so I made some research. And base from the astronomy calendar that I read, it says and I quote
"October 20, 2010 - Comet Hartley 2 will make its closest approach to Earth, coming within 11.2 million miles. For a few days around October 20, the comet should be bright enough to view with the naked eye in the early morning sky. You will, however, need to be far away from the glow of city lights. Look to the east just before sunrise. In early November, NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft will observe comet Hartley 2 from a distance of about 600 miles."

So wow, that must be a comet Hartley 2 then? I took pictures but the quality not so good. I just used my phone camera but I’m still glad I manage to capture it. It was so pretty like while gazing it I can actually think of many beautiful words. Well I just hope that this comet will not bring harm to Earth.

Forgiveness And Love

I'm so excited to play this when I will have my new guitar soon. I like this song of Miley Cyrus "Forgiveness And Love". It touches my soul. I really want to play this one and so lucky I found the chords through google search. I've decided to post it here, just in case I will lost my hard copy... Thanks so much to the one who posted this....

Did it again...color my day blue...

I have never thought I am forcing myself to wear mask again in front of a person who thinks everyone is wrong except him. That feeling when you need to respond just for the sake to give response without even knowing how did you respond. I know this happens anywhere but isn't it tiring to handle this kind of people again and again? Over the years, I have been battling inside how to handle them. I thought I am strong already but now I realized I'm still vulnerable to this kind of situation. Holding on with mixed emotions inside which is quite so unbearable to handle makes me feel weak. I am fighting the anger and the sadness with understanding and strength within me but why it seems to give up and to let go are my number one solutions now. We know ourselves better than anybody else but sometimes people surrounding us try to force things on us or tell negative things about us to others. They only see the mistakes of others and they think of themselves as invincible people. Did I enter a race? I think not. Maybe then I’m in the wrong place now. This year, I have been through a lot of pains and sadness. And sometimes it is also tiring to wear smile or act as if things are ok even deep inside you are battling with sadness and anger. Yes I'm strong but not stronger than I thought. I’m tired of these people who always feel intimidation towards me. Is it my fault, I have knowledge on what most men are into these days? Why many people always think I’m blocking their career path? I work with dedication and purpose. That’s all I know. I’m just doing my share. And now did it again… I feel awful with this nonsense things…too bad..

The Irony of Power

Just a thought... :-/

Why there are people who embrace power so much that will do anything just to hold on to that power; to control, to manipulate. I have been working in the field of Information Technology for almost 11 years now. I have seen and met different people, different personality with different motives. They said, wise people talk about ideas, plan things and do things. People that talk about people seemed to have limited diversion in life. They only see the mistakes of others. There’s no point of self-realization and acknowledgement that they too are not perfect. There are some who take advantage of the respect bestowed upon them. Instead of appreciations it’s like confinement. Putting you in a cage and just do what they’ve wanted you to do. Believe me, if you’re in that cage you will never grow. So let go, move on!

It is indeed very ironic as the way I observe each situation. How come these people who loves power afraid to demand and reprimand people who seemed lack of motivation to do what they intend to do? Alas, those who tried their best and show initiatives and dedication were often turned out to be the not so appreciated one. It's like always finding holes for mistakes. And if found, it is always the negative impact on you. And believe me, all people surrounding you will know. In fact the situation can even be exaggerated when relayed. Haven’t they realized that people come, people go? So every acquaintances should always be treated something worthwhile because you will never know when is the time you will need each other. Nothing in this world is permanent. …

Cactus

Went to Chua Chu Kang Mall last night here in Singapore to buy some stuffs. I couldn't take off my eyes at the displayed plants at one of the stalls there. They are so pretty. I really missed my gardening. I've asked the lady there if I can take picture and gladly she said yes. So here they are...
I'm super mesmerized with those colorful cactus. Can't wait to go there today to buy some. They are very affordable by the way. ^_^
