If - Jika
월요일, 1월 29, 2007

If you love someone,
make it so that they always smile and be happy.

Even though to see a smile upon her lips,
you have to trade it with your tears -

And for the happiness across their face,
you have to exchange it with a sorrow in your heart.

Don't let them know that you
work hard and pay a great price only for
a smile and the happiness they obtain.

For love, supposedly, does not expect any favor in return.

Jika kamu mencintai seseorang,
buatlah dia agar selalu tersenyum dan bahagia.

Walaupun untuk melihat senyum di bibirnya,
kamu harus menukarnya dengan air matamu -

Dan untuk melihat kebahagiaan di wajahnya,
kamu harus menukarnya dengan kepedihan di hatimu.

Janganlah sampai dia tahu bahwa kamu
bekerja keras dan membayar mahal hanya untuk
seuntai senyum dan sebuah kebahagiaan yang dia dapatkan;

Sebab cinta, seharusnya, tidak pernah mengharapkan imbalan.

Sorrow
토요일, 1월 27, 2007

This week has got to be the worst week for the last 20 years of my life...

To make things short, little things have gotten big & they start to irritate me...
For a start, my project presentation did not go well - as I thought it would - purely because we had the toughest marker in the whole University; but on the other side, I did get a lot of help out of him. So it was very disappointing for me, after putting all of the effort & trying to make everyone happy [which I knew was impossible to do, as there are about 4 different personalities to please].

Secondly, I am officially NOT going to the study trip to Spain, because my Head Tutor was late in giving me the official letter from the University to obtain my visa & he had to book the flight today - which of course I did not even have the appointment date yet! So, BYE BYE Spain!!!

Thirdly, I have not feeling very well this last couple of days; been stressing over the project & the History essay [Whatever history got to do with contemporary Architecture] & all sorts of things...

Fourthly, [FOURTHLY sounds really funny & weird for some reason...but anyhow...continue on] there is one more thing which made me sad; but I shall leave it at that... It was all my fault to begin with, opening my eyes & my heart...

PS: Yes! I agree men are stupid; but men can REALLY be EXTREMELY stupid when it comes to loving someone. They just never learn...

Anyway, despite all the trouble, I trust that God is trying to signal something to me... I hope I will pick it up soon!

I trust that everyone is well & sound.

Take care & God bless!

Merry Christmas 2006 & A Happy New Year 2007
월요일, 1월 01, 2007

For the last few days, I have been staying in Luton Town with my housemate's family.
Luton Town is situated somewhere on the outskirt of London, quite a distance from London actually - but what I do not get is that Luton Town is bigger than Brighton City - where a 'city' should be bigger than a 'town'.

Luton Town has an international airport which connect England to the whole of Europe - that is probably the main feature of Luton Town.

Anyway, it was very nice to spend Christmas with someone; we had a proper Christmas dinner; they even gave me presents!!! Not the best, but still at least I did not sit there awkwardly looking at them unwrapping their presents; so it was good on them that they thought of me [I am never much of a present person anyway].

The few days I spent there was just basically a time to go out; be it out to the local pub, ice-skating and some random places; the best two was probably when we went to Milton Keynes; a town of shopping centre and entertainment.
The whole town is a shopping centre - so you can guess how big it was and plus, it was packed as people wanted to buy presents and sales [Shame the pictures I took did not come out too well - because it was so big!].

Then Friday night, we went out clubbing to Oceana in Milton Keynes - it was the most unusual club I have ever been to; but it was good - shame I could not get any food after we finished; I was starving!

Then on the 31st, I came back to Brighton to work at night - it was packed as well; very tired now - but got paid a time & a half - so I can't complain.

Well; I have made this post longer than usual, because I lack the time to make it short - but let me say 'Merry Christmas 2006 & A Happy New Year 2007' again.

God bless you all in this new exciting year!

Take care
