RTB interview

2011-12-23T01:04:00.001+08:00

I know I know, out of the blues. I haven't say a thing about this, but here it is. on 30th November 2011, DJ Aliff offered a position for an interview on a tv program. This of course sparked an excitement within me, but the 16 days wait was sort of nerve wrecking.

So when the 16th of December arrive, my nervousness beat the crap out of me. The interview is on my activeness in blogging, there's another blogger guest, Muhammad Zeki (visit his site at www.zekisources.com , I have checked his blog out and believe me, its mind-blowing!) the interview is carried out by sis Suzan.

here are some pictures, enjoy!

my first glimpse of studio 4

my special pass, I actually feel more special using this, no. really. :P

from left to right, Suzan, me and Zeki

Jazz Hayat, one of our local acts

all in all, it was a pretty great day, great experience. removing the make ups was also an experience, lol. This was actually my first time wearing make ups, so don't be surprised... hehe my make up artist is GREAT :)

first 4 photos taken by me, the last, photo credits go to mr. Zeki :)

2011-12-16T17:44:00.000+08:00

I have a few highlights to post up today, but kinda busy right now. but wanna shout across to ya that my feedjit live traffic is back up on the blog! it's driving me freakishly crazy that it malfunctioned the other day, I had to remove it. so its back up and not driving me crazy and I'm looking forward to more visitors, love you loads, be back soon :)

Lunar eclipse, Brunei Darussalam, 12/12/2011

2011-12-10T23:05:00.001+08:00

let me sum up everything through the pictures, its my first ever experience with lunar eclipse. and subahanallah, it was breath takingly beautiful!

here are the rest of the pictures I snapped, throughout the whole eclipse. well I didn't stay out all the time, but I took notice that the sun and the moon is very perfectly round today. I immediately remembered that someone said an eclipse is going to take place TODAY. so I snapped and snapped, through my phone at first and a camera I conveniently found nearby.

(over a puddle reflection, beautiful innit? :))

Boyce Avenue - Find Me Teaser - Music Video to Celebrate Hitting 1 Milli...

2011-12-08T00:18:00.001+08:00

Via Boyce Avenue : "Thank you everyone who helped us reach 1 million subscribers! You are all a part of our family and mean so much to us! To celebrate, we are going to be releasing our new original music video for Find Me this month! We think it is the perfect song to celebrate with because it's the first song Alejandro ever wrote and that we ever recorded as a band, way back even before our YouTube days!"

its a coincidence that I wrote about Find Me a few days back, but any how, all the promoting was all worthed, Boyce Avenue reached past 1 million subscribers on youtube! and their subscribers are still rapidly increasing, wait, don't stop the promotion yet, lets give them a million more, or maybe 6 billion, what you think? nothing's impossible ;)

so be sure to check out the official video COMING SOON, while waiting, keep checking all their covers and originals :)

Boyce Avenue - When The Lights Die

2011-12-05T19:00:00.002+08:00

Boyce Avenue and the rest of the crew on When The Lights Die: click here
When The Lights Die music video : click here

My story :

my story here is almost significant to Fabian's, "if you keep leaving, what happens if the lights goes off?". I initially took the picture above randomly for a BA fan project, the dimly lit fire and the dark background, for me, it resembles the whole song. But then I haven't got a story for it at that time... yet.

Last night, while lying in bed thinking and thinking, my head is always full, suddenly this picture popped up in my head while i'm listening to BA's cover of "Firework". then I started thinking again, it has got to have a story for it. I feel incomplete. After a while, a light bulb lit up, too bad I don't have any writing tools at the moment but I remembered.

In this life, I'd be lying if I told you I hadn't go through any problems with anyone, backstabs, heartaches, broken hearts, all those negative stuff, its impossible not to go through one at all. So from all these problems came an inspiration to me. although my story doesn't entirely resemble what Fabian has in mind, but this is MY story. Imagine the fire in the picture as hope and will. For each time someone let you down, for each time someone did something bad towards you, if you are not strong enough, one way or another, you will slowly lose hope. The negative things will be the icy cold water. IF the fire burns out, your dimly lit world will slowly disappear into dark, cold and flat nothingness. If you keep pouring water onto the fire, what's going to happen when all the lights die? are you going to stand strong and work harder to stay alive? or are you going to quit and die just like the fire?

In this world, no matter how much life has let you down, no matter how much, you have to fight to keep this fire going, don't let it be extinguished. Look around you, there are people, imagine them as sickness and medication. Sickness will bring you down, but medication will help you go through these sickness. FIND the medication. Don't let the lights die, keep it alight. FIGHT

The Calling - Wherever You Will Go (Boyce Avenue acoustic cover) on iTunes

2011-12-05T16:37:00.000+08:00

My first impression : nice hair :) hah! Ale has his haircut!!!!

so guys, this classic here, I initially have a love hate relationship with it, I love this song and at the same time hate it. Until Boyce Avenue covered it, I claimed it as my ALL TIME FAVORITE. how did that happen? yeah, they're THAT amazing ♥

So, what you guys think of them? check out their loads and loads of breath taking cover songs, also check their original songs. Lets get em to 1 million subscribers by 2012, in return they'll upload the official video of one of their most popular original song ;)

and BAmily out there, show em some mad love, lets try to get further than 1 million, shall we? :)

Boyce Avenue - Find Me lyrics

2011-12-03T22:52:00.000+08:00

hey guys, this song is specially requested by my friend Maira for me to write on but I really can't think of anything to write on it so I'll just use the photography/art work I used for a BA fan project. For me this song represents everything you find in a person's eye where all the emotions are buried, the eye is the window to every human's soul. Through the eyes you see dreams, love, hidden thoughts and literally, everything.

So many nights trying to hide it

But now I stay awake just pleading for more

To think this heart was divided

I’m losing sleep cause I can’t ignore…

Feeling your touch all around

Peacefully hearing the sound

Of silence around us, so glad we found us this way

Find me, here in your arms

Now I’m wondering where you’ve always been

Blindly, I came to you

Knowing you’d breathe new life from within

Can’t get enough of you

I want to be where you are

In times of need I just want you to stay

I leave a note on your car

When I can’t find the right words to say

Hearing your voice all around

The last place we’re going is down

I’ll blindly follow knowing you’re leading the way

Find me, here in your arms

Now I’m wondering where you’ve always been

Blindly, I came to you

Knowing you’d breathe new life from within

With you in time

There’s nothing else

My life stands still

You are the will that makes me strong

Make me strong

If ever alone in this world I know I’ll always…

Find me, here in your arms

Now I’m wondering where you’ve always been

Blindly, I came to you

Knowing you’d breathe new life from within

You sleep, here in my arms

Where the world just shuts down for awhile

Blindly, you came to me

Finding peace and belief in this smile

Find some peace and belief in this smile

Can’t get enough of you

SONG OF THE DAY

2011-12-01T18:53:00.000+08:00

NOVEMBER : highlights (PROJECT "A")

2011-12-01T18:50:00.001+08:00

First things first, do you know what autism is? If no, then you should know that autism is a brain development disorder characterised by impaired social interaction and communication, and restricted by repetitive behaviour. This occurs when the way nerve cells and their synapses connect and organise is being altered, but the reason for this occurrence is yet to be understood.

Now let me introduce to you PROJECT A.

A is for AUTISM, this is a project initiated by Jeng panaD at Sekolah Menengah Sufri Bolkiah, Tutong, in hopes to increase awareness on autism. As surveyed on our school throughout random classes on every level, only 11.1% knows what autism is. This proves that Bruneian citizens knows little on autism where there are tonnes and tonnes of misconceptions(click here) created. These misconceptions are created by public/society's first impressions on autistic people display the symptoms as follows:

(picture source: CDC Brunei) click photo to enlarge.

This is what we did troughout organising our project and campaign:

First, five of us went on a short trip to SMARTER Brunei, a special school for autistic children, on 12th November 2011. We arrived at around 10a.m and were given an overwhelmingly warm welcome by staff members. Before proceeding into the day, we were given a short brief on what SMARTER Brunei is all about. We were also informed that autistic adults (13 years and above) goes to another special school, that is BACA, which is just nearby SMARTER. For more information on SMARTER, please click here or go like their facebook page here.

After the briefings, at around 11.30a.m, the five of us are distributed to different classes. I, unfortunately couldn't remember which class I was distributed to, but it was mind blowing experience.

so did the pictures give you a clear vision on what SMARTER is all about?

I actually have a tonne more pictures from SMARTER, but due to some permission being denied, I couldn't post it here. don't wanna be in trouble, do we?

at 12.30, the classes for the morning session ends where children sing a goodbye song. Its really cute of them ^^ After wrapping up the morning session, we had lunch with some of the staff members untill 2p.m to make way for the afternoon session. In the afternoon, we are rotated between classes again, this time, I'm as if I'm a free spirit, no class, so I just pop up around random classes and observe a little. And oh, I also get to interview a parent on how it was like, raising an autistic child. We went home at around 4p.m. To sum up the whole day in a blog post wasn't enough, but it was a beautiful day :)

We outlined what we're going to do for our project, what sort of activities, sales, talks and everything else. After tonnes of preparation with a very short time, a few sleepless nights, the day finally came. Sekolah Menengah Sufri Bolkiah, Tutong OPEN DAY.

The open day starts from the 16th November 2011 and ends on 19th November 2011. Our banner is displayed on the last day due to a few technical problems, but alhamdulillah, the response is very positive.

At our booth, we also sell a few stuff. Foodstuff like nutella cornflakes, sandwiches and chocolate cakes(which is only sold on the last day). we also sell drinks at a very cheap rate. other than that, we also sell bookmarks and autism support keychains. We also provide a donation box where you can donate money or used items such as clothings, toys, appliances and etc.

After our sales, we manage to collect as far as $327 and also a very fully signed banner AND also a few big boxes of unused items to be donated to SMARTER. our hardwork finally paid off. but our campaign isn't done yet, on the 21st November 2011, we invited SMARTER and CDC to our school for a talk on autism to our fellow school mates. all in all, it was very productive.

CREDITS

Without the direct and indirect help from these people, we wouldn't have succeeded.

First, I, as a representative from our crew, would like to give a very big THANK YOU to our school principal, Madam Nor Asurah Hj Meluddin for the endless support from the very beginning, endless advice and without you, this project wouldn't have commenced.

Also thanks to SMARTER and CDC for showing their support from the very beginning.

Next, to our parents who have involved themselves in this project directly and indirectly.

And then, to SMSBT's staff members who have also dropped by our booth to show their support, on their kind advice and compliments.

Also thanks to staff members and students from other schools that had also shown their support to our project, also to parents that have came and visited our school and our booths.

Next, thank you to our humble and very talented artist, cg. Mohd. Noh for the beautiful banner and also all the kind advice he has given us throughout the campaign.

and last but not least, thank you SMSBT for everything. there are TOO MANY for me to list it all out, but thank you for all these amazing memories and deeds that you allow us to do.

and congratulations to us, Jeng panaD and the rest of the crew. ♥

"Never underestimate a girl's love for her favorite band. Never think even for a minute, that she won't defend them to her death. Because it's not just the music thet makes that band her favorite. It's the guys, the gals. It's the fans. People whom she has interacted with thanks to the band. That band might have saved her life, or just made her smile everyday. That band has never broke her heart and has yet to leave her. No wonder she finds such joy in her music." ~Alex Gaskarth

Another Journey Through BOYCE ♥

2011-11-06T22:22:00.002+08:00

So guys, as you all have known, I'm a Boycer :) and as promised, I'll update you one by one my journey through Boyce. but let's forget about the past for a while and look at the nearest future.

So today, I repeat, TODAY is 6th November 2011. I'll scan through the Boyce diary for you. First in line is Boyce Avenue's original song, "Dare To Believe" will debut on youtube TODAY. if you haven't already listen to the song, you may check it out below :

Love it? okay, go make a youtube account, SUSCRIBE them, LIKE and FAVORITE ALL their video. If you do so, I'll send a unicorn straight to each of your mailboxes. *serious face*

haha I'm just playing with ya, but I'm serious about SUSCRIBING, LIKING and FAVORITING. *a more serious face than earlier just now*

okay, the next BIG thing on the diary today is........... *drum roll please* BOYCE AVENUE IS OPENING FOR MTV EMA!!!! together with SNOW PATROL and *singing* JAAYYYSSSOOOOONNNN DERULOOOOO!! haha

(photo courtesy of A Fans Page for BA)

okay, enough hype. I'm literally shrieking in excitement right now. I can't be there, in Belfast, unfortunately :( I can't watch live either, so I'll have to catch the rerun this weekend. #examfever

So guys, BOYCE AVENUE is a band that started from nothing but a scratch. They first started with randomly having jam sessions in between the three brothers, then its gotten into a serious phase where each of them had quited their day jobs, and Alejandro being the youngest, flunked college. But it was all worthed when they have came this far in success. They started only on Myspace, youtube and all the social networks, without any radio airplay or tv exposure, they started to expand their fan base further and further. In 2010, they are signed to Universal Records(together with Taylor Swift, Colbie Callillat, Jack Johnson), but they still didn't get any exposure as promised by U.R and they decided to gain their independence this year, 2011. Even without any record label, their fanbase still expands steadily. and TODAY, they are invited to play at MTV's EMA which is going to be their BIGGEST gig yet with 15 000 fans attending. What made me even more proud is that their succes is based on all their hard work, determination, talent and their ability to always fulfil fans' needs. They won't be needing any record labels in the now dead music industry.

That's all I guess, and oh, UK fans, their show originally on the 6th at the Mandela hall is shifted to my birthday. now, gimme my plane ticket and my VIP pass :P haha kidding. so... ciao~ for now ;)

The Westlife News

2011-11-01T23:35:00.001+08:00

its a bad news actually, a devastating news indeed.

click on the photo to enlarge.

Message to Westlife from me:

reality check, this is a heart breaker. YOU are the FIRST reason why I started dreaming and hoping the first place, everything in my life now, my hopes, my dreams, the way I think, the reason I wanted to study, my overseas friends.you may say that there are outside factors in my life that pushes me forward, true, but you had been the first to set me off.

and I recalled that in 2000, you came to my country for your first and last concert, but I was very young, as young as 5 years old and I already am a fan of yours. that one concert set me dreaming and hoping to see you guys one day, but its all over now, I can't do much but hope.

imagine 1998 up till now, 2011, I'm coming 16 this year, that's how long I've loved you and I still never get to see you, but its okay, I respect your decision and I know that this is what's good for you and I understand.

and also.... thank you for the amazing 14 years. you will forever and always have a special spot, here, in my heart ♥.

Introducing The Story Behind My Inspirations

2011-11-01T23:27:00.003+08:00

as you all know, when it comes to my music taste, its all about Westlife. This year, I have found a new band that I love as dearly much as I loved Westlife. In this post, I'm going to talk about this "band", and in the next post, I'm going to reveal a Westlife news, so............... stay tuned!!

On the right side of my blog right under my profile, you can see "Story behind "Life Through A Window Crack"" as stated, the man that inspired me to blog again is Fabian Rafael Manzano. here in this post, I'm going to tell you about this band, how and why and when I found them and also the connection that Fabian has with them.

Ok, first thing's first. Towards the end of April this year, something happened, I'm not telling you what though. Anyway, on 10^th June 2011, I started to randomly download songs, especially songs by the "band" since my friend once recommended them to me, I initially hate them for no reason (I know, weird). So I decided to you-tube them, on their YouTube page that day is their cover of Black Eyed Peas' "Just Can't Get Enough"(click on the song title to take a look).

Okay, i CAN'T handle this anymore, so lets cut off the suspense, k?

introducing to you, my BELOVED band, *drum rolls*

Boyce Avenue!!!

Do they sound or look familiar to you? okay, lets introduce their members.

the youngest bro, Alejandro Luis Manzano. (he's mine!! *bark bark* :P)

the 'middle' bro(haha), Fabian Rafael Manzano.

and lastly, the oldest bro, Daniel Enrique Manzano

eh wait, I forgot to tell you they're brothers. haha okay, Boyce Avenue is made up of three brothers. and oh, they're Puerto Rican, in other words Spanish-ish, so you pronounce their name in a Spanish slang, or else..... *crakcs knuckle* muahahahaha I'm just joking xD

that's my brief introduction on Boyce Avenue and this... is the full bio of Boyce Avenue by Boyce Avenue themselves. (source: www.facebook.com/BoyceAvenue)

Boyce Avenue, a Florida-based band popular for its strong acoustic roots and melodic rock sound, consists of the three brothers Alejandro, Fabian, and Daniel Manzano. The brothers first came together as a band in 2004 when Alejandro (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Fabian (guitar, vocals), and their older brother Daniel (bass, percussion, vocals) reconnected after pursuing their respective educational goals. While music was always a part of their lives and ultimately their collective goal, pursuing a higher education was also important to the brothers. After graduating from Harvard Law School, Daniel moved back to Florida, to join his brothers Fabian and Alejandro, who were both attending classes at the University of Florida. It was there that the brothers continued to write music and to perform local shows, and took their most formative steps toward becoming a band.

In 2007, in an effort to share their music and ideas with the world, the band decided to start filming and posting videos on YouTube of their own songs and some of their favorite songs by other artists. Some of the first few videos they posted included acoustic versions of songs such as Justin Timberlake’s “LoveStoned”, Rihanna’s “Umbrella”, and Coldplay’s “Viva la Vida”, among many others. The videos resonated instantly with YouTube viewers. And to date, the band has over 300,000,000 views on YouTube and over 700,000 subscribers to their channel, making theirs one of the most frequented channels worldwide on YouTube.

Early on, the band wanted to set itself apart from other acts that had achieved success online by taking its music straight to the people, live. Believing firmly in the strength of their online fans, and in its music, the band booked a stand-alone show in New York City in January of 2009, for their first ever performance in the city. Surprising label and industry folks alike, the show - perceived by others as a gamble - was an enormous sellout and success. Since then, the band has been steadily touring the world over with similar results. In early 2009, the band performed for an estimated total of 25,000 fans over four headline shows in the Philippines. And on the heels of its whirlwind success in the Philippines, the band launched headline tours in the USA, Canada, and Europe. In response to the staunch support of its fans, this Summer/Fall of 2011 sees the band playing headline shows in Indonesia, Australia, USA, Canada, and Europe, and playing in iconic rooms thoughout the world, such as The Fillmore in San Francisco, Webster Hall in New York, The Riviera Theatre in Chicago, The Sound Academy in Toronto, Shepherd's Bush in London, The Olympia Theatre in Dublin, and Live Music Hall in Cologne.

During the band's early years, it assiduously recorded original music for it's full-length debut album, "All We Have Left," which will be re-released independently by the band this Fall, through its own label, 3 Peace Records. The lead out singles from the album include “Every Breath,” "On My Way," and "Broken Angel". The music video for "Every Breath," the first single off the abum was shot by acclaimed director Zach Merch (Blue October, Safetysuit) in Los Angeles, and was a collaborative effort that grew from a treatment written by the band. Because "All We Have Left" was entirely written, funded, and produced by the band, the band hopes it will serve as a strong statement to its supporters of who the band is at this point in their career, and who they want to be as artists and individuals.

Okay, now where was I earlier? oh, about first discovering them on YouTube. so their cover of "Just Can't Get Enough" caught my eyes, and so I started checking all their covers, one after another, their original songs, story behind original songs, and their vlogs. what basically attracted me to Boyce Avenue is their AWESOME talent and the way that they put all their feelings in on every song they do. I could spend forever on telling you how I fell in love, what ventures it brought me to and everything Boyce related, but then, you've gotta stay tuned! so... stay tuned, keep reading :)

WINDOW CRACK, how it all started

2011-10-30T20:45:00.006+08:00

it all started with this picture:

if you can't see my facebook caption, it says : This is the view from one of my window's crack. It's raining outside, but there's still sunshine :)

then the next photo:

caption : That's the pretty pretty sun relaxing, hanging out with the clouds ;)

caption: :)

caption : I don't know how taking pictures of the sun has become my obsession, but then, this is my world through a window crack :)

the next photo here is the one that's got me thinking of my blog. :

caption : Window crack bulletin today :)

i think i need a new subject now, yes? Hah!

caption : I think i really found something to do every day which only takes up less than 5 minutes of my time. Haha my mom's gonna kill me xD

and this next photo is unfortunately my last window crack bulletin. I hope there's more subject to come. it'll help me live through my passion for photography :)

caption : Sunset on a cloudy day, the rainbow is a bonus :)

#windowcrack

so that's it for now, stay tune ;)

Hi guys! its been a long time since I last wrote here and I've decided to start writing again. so I'm currently sitting for my O levels which will probably cause me to be less active. Don't worry, I'll still be around tho.

this is before:

the after, is voila! its what you see here and now, but please bear with me, its gonna take a little time to finish up everything. so check again soon! :)

I Will Reach You lyrics

2010-11-14T18:31:00.002+08:00

Mark:

Everybody's got an answer to a question they need to know

"Still broken on the one thing didn't ask you do you have to go?"

Now I'm looking for a reason, it isn't easy but I gotta have hope

Sometimes it can be harder to remember that you just let go

Always seems to be something to remind me what I miss the most

"Was you all the one thing I believed in when it all falls down."

ohhh....

[All, Mark lead]

So if you got a candle you better light it now

And if you gotta voice you better shout out loud

Raise your hands above this ground and I will reach you

Can you hear me can you hear me now?

Shane:

Even though I can't see you I can feel you after all this time

So baby if you're hurting all I'm asking for is just one sign

Cause I never met anyone who was lost but didn't wanna be found.

oh....

[All, Shane lead]

So if you got a candle you better light it now

And if you gotta voice you better shout out loud

Raise your hands above this ground cos I will reach you

Can you hear me can you hear me?

I will reach you,

Can you hear me can you hear me now?

Mark (back up)

Light it up (I will reach you)

Shout out loud (I will reach you)

Raise your hands above this ground

Shane :

So if you got a candle you better light it now

And if you gotta voice you better shout out loud

[All ]

Raise your hands above this ground cos I will reach you

Can you hear me can you hear me?

I will reach you

Can you hear me can you hear me?

I will reach you

Can you hear me can you hear me?

I will reach you

Raise your hands above this ground cos I will reach you

Can you hear me now ?

Bandar Seri Begawan - ST ANDREW'S School emerged victorious against Pengiran Anak Puteri (PAP) Hjh Masna Secondary School in the 5th National Junior English Debate Competition yesterday.

St Andrew's was the opposition for the motion: "The Improvement of the Current Public Transport System is More Beneficial than the Implementation of the Proposed LRT".

They focused on the long-term benefits of the LRT system such as being able to use electricity from solar power instead of using oil or gas, and being able to better cope with an increasing population then the buses.

PAP Hjh Masna Secondary school, who acted as the proposer for the motion, focused their points on improving the existing bus system, quoting examples from Jakarta, Indonesia and Brisbane, Australia that deploy successful modern bus systems that could be adopted. The finals marked the end of the competition that began since early August and was held at the Ministry of Finance Building.

The winning team from St Andrew's: Patricia Chong, Issac Yee and Koay Jing Wei, their other teammates and teachers were esctatic at the victory.

Manik Jalihal, St Andrew's English teacher said that the victory was an amazing triumph for her, the students and the school. None of the students have ever participated in a formal competition prior to this event.

Chong also won the best speaker for the competition.

The third place was shared between Sufri Bolkiah Secondary School and Sultan Sharif Ali Secondary School.

Winners trophies and certificates were presented by the guest of honour, Acting ermanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education Abdul Mutalib Pehin Orang Kaya Seri Setia Dato Paduka Hj Mohd Yusof. -- Courtesy of The Brunei Times

2010-10-05T18:58:00.002+08:00

2010-10-04T23:10:00.003+08:00

this is a snippet of #westlifeSAFE the first single from their new album ....

Westlife - Safe (Snippet) by WestlifeMusic

I was actually at my down mood and my mood is lifted up ! I feel so happy that I literally cried , you see guys , Westlife has such great affection on me , that's a reason I love them so much , a love planted deep down since 1999 ♥

lyrics for SAFE

Hard to find a way to get through

It’s a tragedy

Pulling at me like the stars do

You’re like gravity

Even if the wind blows

It makes it hard to believe

How ya gonna love

How ya gonna feel

How you gonna live your life like the dream you have is real

And If you lost your way

I will keep you safe

We’ll open up all the world inside

I see it come alive tonight

I will keep you safe

Doesn’t even matter to you

To see what I can see

I’m crawling on the floor to reach you

I’m a wreck you see

When you’re far from home now

Makes it hard to believe

So how ya gonna love

How ya gonna feel

How you gonna live your life like the dream you have is real

If you’ve lost your way

I will keep you safe

Well open up all your world inside

Til you come alive tonight

I will keep you safe

We all fall down

We all feel down

Cus rainy days and summer highs

The more we pray the more we feel alive

How ya gonna love

How ya gonna feel

How you gonna live your life like the dream you have is real

How ya gonna love

How ya gonna feel

How you gonna live your life like the dream you have is real

If you’ve lost your way

I will keep you safe

Well open up all your world inside

So you come alive tonight

I will keep you safe

Well I will keep you safe

I will keep you safe

Westlife - Miracle

2010-09-25T20:03:00.002+08:00

Where does it go when it's gone
All of the love that we had
I wish I could make you remember oh yeah
The rock that we build is apart
How could it just disappear like it ain't matter

I don't know how to watch you leave
But there's nothing left to say
It's easier to walk on water
It's easier to part the sea
Than to live another day without you
And just forget about what you mean to me
It's easier to reach the heaven
Then for us to work this out
I haven't prayed in so long
But if it brings you back somehow
Then I guess I'll need a miracle right now , right now....

I'm stranded at the end of the line
I'm nowhere left to get home
But I'm not ready to surrender oh no
I'm still willing to fight
But seems like changing your mind
It's harder than ever

I don't know how to watch you leave
But there's so much left to say
It's easier to walk on water
It's easier to part the sea
Than to live another day without you
And just forget about what you mean to me
It's easier to reach the heaven
Then for us to work this out
I haven't prayed in so long
But if it brings you back somehow
Then I guess I'll need a miracle right now, right now....

Almost nothing is impossible
our love Can open any door
But it's impossible to Let you go...

It's easier to walk on water
It's easier to part the sea
Than to live another day without you
And just forget about what you mean to me
It's easier to reach the heaven
Then for us to work this out
I haven't prayed in so long
But if it brings you back somehow
Then I guess I'll need a miracle right now

I need a miracle right now..yeah

Westlife - I'll See You Again

2010-09-21T20:32:00.000+08:00

Always you will be part of me
And I will forever feel your strength
When I need it most
You're gone now, gone but not forgotten
I can't say this to your face
But I know you hear

[Chorus:]
I'll see you again
You never really left
I feel you walk beside me
I know I'll see you again

When I'm lost, when I'm missing you like crazy
I tell myself I'm so blessed
To have had you in my life, my life

[Chorus]

When I had the time to tell you
Never thought I'd live to see the day
When the words I should have said
Would come to haunt me
In my darkest hour I tell myself
I'll see you again

[Chorus x2]

I will see you again
I'll see you again
I miss you like crazy
You're gone but not forgotten
I'll never forget you
Someday I'll see you again
I feel you walk beside me
Never leave you, yeah
Gone but not forgotten
I feel you by my side
No this is not goodbye [x3]

Shane Filan(Westlife) - Beautiful In White

2010-09-21T20:31:00.002+08:00

Not sure if you know this
But when we first met
I got so nervous I couldn't speak
In that very moment
I found the one and
My life had found its missing piece

So as long as I live I love you
Will heaven hold you
You look so beautiful in white
And from now to my very last breath
This day I'll cherish
You look so beautiful in white
Tonight

What we have is timeless
My love is endless
And with this scream I
Say to the world
You're my every reason you're all that I believe in
With all my heart I mean every world

So as long as I live I love you
Will heaven hold you
You look so beautiful in white
And from now to my very last breath
This day I'll cherish
You look so beautiful in white
Tonight

oooh oh
You look so beautiful in white

Na na na na

So beautiful in white
Tonight

And if our daughter's what our future holds
I hope she has your eyes
Finds love like you and I did
Yeah, I wish she falls in love and I will let her go
I'll walk her down the aisle
She'll look so beautiful in white

You look so beautiful in white

So as long as I live I love you
Will heaven hold you
You look so beautiful in white
And from now to my very last breath
This day I'll cherish
You look so beautiful in white
Tonight

You look so beautiful in white
Tonight

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Your Guardian Angel lyrics

2010-07-18T12:06:00.000+08:00

When I see your smile
Tears run down my face
I can't replace
And now that I'm stronger I've figured out

How this world turns cold
And breaks through my soul
And I know, I'll find deep inside me
I can be the one

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to Heaven

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay

Seasons are changing and waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you, I'll be the one

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to Heaven

'Cause you're my, you're my, my
My true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away

'Cause I'm here for you
Please don't walk away
And please tell me, you'll stay, stay

Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know, I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to Heaven

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to Heaven

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever

What I've been up to

2010-06-20T12:00:00.008+08:00

hey guys ! as I told you , 13th June was Amalina's birthday ... and so we go hangout at the Mall , me , Maira and the birthday girl herself .. and so we went round and round , got ourselves some matching key chains and of course...we watched movie :) the movie is PRINCE OF PERSIA ... it was GREAT !!!

The plot follows Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal), a street urchin in Persia, historically in the Persian Empire in the sixth century. After showing courage in the market place, he is adopted by the king. Fifteen years later, Dastan, and his royal blooded foster brothers Garsiv and Tus lead the Persian army in an attack on the sacred city of Alamut, under the assumption that the city's people are selling weapons to their enemies, as shown by Nizam (Ben Kingsley), the King's brother and adviser. As Garsiv leads the initial assault, Dastan decides to lead a surprise attack with his friend Bis (Reece Ritchie) against the orders of his brother. He manages to open the eastern gate of Alamut and prevents further casualties. During the fight in the city, Dastan defeats one of Princess Tamina's (Gemma Arterton) guards who was in the possession of the mythical Dagger of Time. The dagger gives its owner the ability to go back in time for a short period so that the user can try to correct any mistake or redo any moment. Alamut falls to the Persians, Tamina is captured and is offered as a wife for Tus, which would make the city of Alamut a part of the Persian Empire.

The Persians celebrate their victory, but during the celebration Prince Dastan is fooled into presenting a poisoned gown seemingly given to him by Tus to King Sharaman (Ronald Pickup), which fatally burns the king. Prince Dastan is held as the perpetrator of his father's murder. He escapes the castle with Princess Tamina while Bis, his best friend, is killed trying to save them. Together, they embark on a journey the Prince wants to prove his innocence, while Tamina wants to safeguard the Dagger of Time. On the first night, Tamina attempts to kill the prince and recover the dagger, but Dastan accidentally activates the dagger and learns about its ability to rewind time for one minute and in doing so, prevents Tamina from attacking. Dastan believes that Tus knew about the dagger and framed Dastan for their father's murder in an attempt to seize the throne and the dagger, thus becoming the most powerful ruler of Persia.

During their journey, the duo meets a group of merchant-bandits, in the valley of slaves, including entrepreneur and ostrich racing-organizer Sheik Amar (Alfred Molina) with his friend Seso (Steve Toussaint) who hails from the Ngbaka, masters of the throwing knives. Dastan offers Tamina up as a slave in return for their hospitality. However, the bandits try to take the Dagger of Time and take Dastan to the newly crowned Tus because of the reward for his capture; they fail in the process, while the two escape.

Dastan and Tamina return to Persia for King Sharaman's funeral. Dastan tries to convince his uncle Nizam that he was not the cause of his father's death, only to discover the dagger was taken by Tamina. Instead, he notices the burns on Nizam's hands, which indicate he was the one who set up the murder of the King. Furthermore, Nizam has set up an ambush for Dastan along the Persian streets, and after a conflict with his brother Garsiv, Dastan escapes.

Dastan catches up with Tamina and explains that the villainous brother of the King, Nizam was behind it all. The attack of Alamut was based on false allegations provided by Nizam and promoted with a motive to attain the Dagger of Time and use it with the massive Sandglass, which is hidden under the city of Alamut. This way, Nizam would go back in time before he had saved Sharaman from being attacked by a lion and undo the act, hence ensure that he becomes the King of Persia. However, Tamina reveals that the Sandglass is the vessel holding the Sands of Time, which the Gods conjured to punish humanity for its sins. A pure hearted girl, offering her life, convinced them to seal the sands; should the Dagger of Time be used to pierce the Sandglass, the sands would be released and destroy the entire world. The holder of the dagger may also turn back time as far as they please. The pair then put aside their differences and agree to work together to protect the dagger.

Meanwhile, back in Persia, Nizam, aware that Dastan knows he was responsible, tries to convince the newly-crowned King Tus and Garsiv that Dastan is trying to overthrow them and must be killed without a trial to avoid a rebellion. When this fails, Nizam hires the Hassansins, a group of highly-skilled warriors who once served as hired killers for Persian royalty. Nizam had kept the sect hidden for his own ends after Sharaman had them disbanded.

Dastan and Tamina are again captured by Sheik Amar, Seso, and their group because of the chaos they caused back at the valley. Sheik intends to claim the reward for turning them in to renew his business. But that night, when everyone is asleep, the Hassansin leader (Gísli Örn Garðarsson) attacks the group in an oasis by controlling a number of vipers. Many of the group die, but Dastan uses the dagger to rewind time, and, foreseeing the attack, manages to kill all the snakes single-handedly, saving Seso in the process. The Hassansin leader then leaves in a sand dervish.

The next day, the pair, now accompanied by Sheik and Seso, travel to the secret sanctuary in the mountains near India, where it's possible to seal the dagger by returning it to the stone where it came from. In order to do so, Tamina would have to sacrifice herself, but it fails as they run into Garsiv's men. Dastan, however, manages to persuade his brother that he is innocent, only for Garsiv to be killed by a flurry of spike-knives thrown by a Hassansin. The Hassanin attack, killing many of the group, while their leader manages to snatch the Dagger of Time from Tamina (who was knocked unconscious in the battle) by using a trained snake. However, Dastan is saved from the last Hassansin by Garsiv, who then succumbs to his injuries.

Tamina and Dastan, as well as Sheik Amar and Seso, return to Alamut to reveal the truth about Nizam and the dagger to Tus. First, they must get the dagger, which is kept in the sacred temple, guarded by the Hassansin who killed Garsiv. Seso, the master of throwing knives, fights the spike-wielding Hassansin to obtain the dagger. He manages to kill the Hassansin after a well aimed throw, yet is fatally wounded in the process. Seso manages to throw the Dagger out of the window to Sheik and Dastan before dying. Sheik Amar then distracts the guards by serving as a decoy while Dastan shows the truth about the Dagger to his brother Tus by killing himself, only to have Tus rewind time with the dagger. Afterward, Tus is killed by Nizam, and Dastan is incapacitated by another Hassasin. The Dagger is once again in Nizam's hands, but Dastan manages to defeat the Hassasin with Tamina's help. She realises that the Hassansin had been a spy inside the city of Alamut and must have been the one who told Nizam about the Dagger.

Nizam goes to the Sandglass caves beneath Alamut, as Dastan and Tamina race to stop him. Tamina opens a secret gate leading to the chamber, allowing them to take a short cut to the Sandglass. En route, they encounter the leader of the Hassansins; however, after a close fight, Dastan gets the upper hand and stabs the Hassansin before throwing him into the chasm. Dastan and Tamina then kiss. They then manage to reach Nizam as he pierces the Sandglass with the Dagger. During the final confrontation, Nizam knocks Tamina over the edge of the chasm and Dastan desperately catches her hand. Knowing he cannot stop Nizam and save her, Tamina professes her love for Dastan and lets go, sacrificing herself to stop Nizam. Dastan fights Nizam as they both hold their hands on the Dagger. Dastan then uses the Dagger's button to open the Sands of Time container and use its power against Nizam. The Sandglass slowly cracks and the sandstorm is shown destroying Alamut. Dastan is then able to use the Dagger and turn back the time as the Sandglass breaks, ending up at the point when he first held the Dagger during the siege of Alamut.

Dastan uses his knowledge to reveal Nizam's evil plan to his brothers, gaining their acceptance by revealing what Tus told him about the meeting with their father prior to the attack. Exposed, Nizam attempts to kill Dastan but ends up dying by Tus' blade. After apologizing for the ransacking of her city, Tus suggests that perhaps Tamina should become Dastan's wife as a sign of good will. The Prince returns the Dagger of Time to her as a gift, as she looks at him surprised. The two of them are next shown talking to each other and Tamina expressing her surprise about Dastan's sudden change in behavior and hinting that he may have discovered something to which he replies that they are in control of their own destiny.

Translation

Today, i wander in my memory
I’m pasing around on the end of this way
You’re still holding me tightly, even though i can’t see you any more
I’m losing my way again
I’m praying to the sky i want see you and hold you more
that i want to see you and hold you more
It can’t be if it’s not you
i can’t be without you
it’s okay if i’m hurt for a day and a year like this
it’s fine even if my heart’s hurts
yes because i’m just in love with you
i cannot send you away one more time
i can’t live without you
it can’t be if it’s not you
i can’t be without you
it’s okay if i’m hurt for a day and a year like this
it’s fine even if my heart’s hurts
yes because i’m just in love with you
my bruised heart
is screaming to me to find you
where are you?
can’t you hear my voice?
to me…
if i live my life again
if i’m born over and over again
i can’t live without you for a day
You’re the one i will keep
you’re the one i will love
i’m…yes because i’m happy enough if i could be with you

60 FACTS about girls that guys should know :)

2010-05-14T15:15:00.000+08:00

1) For all we talk about how hot guys are. We mostly care about there personality. Though a hot body is a plus

2) We are just as shy as you are about relationships

3) Many of us don't let you see us cry, unless we want you to comfort us

4) We like dropping small flirts, to see if you are interested. But we will later deny it or make it into a joke

5) Most of us prefer to be call beautiful than hot or sexy. But not all of us

6) We only wear mini skirts, tank tops and skimpy cloths for you (unless it's REALLY REALLY hot outside). So if you don't like what we wear say something likely look really nice today, but you know...I think I like you in jeans better'

7) We travel in groups for one of two reasons 1) because we want to share some form of gossip with each other or get advice on something 2) B/c we don't want to get caught by ourselves with you because we won't know what to say and are afraid we'll make a fool of ourselves

8) MOST girls spend about 15% of the time thinking about specific guys, 20% thinking of guys in general, 25% thinking of how to get guys to notice us and what to say when we do, 30% of the time TALKING about guys (even if someone else isn't listening), and 10% of the time doing something else

9) Girls automatically assume that all guys are ***** and only want to get into our pants until you prove otherwise (and even then some small part of us still thinks that)

10) Most girls are under the impression that guys only want skinny 'hot' girls

11) Most girls enjoy being paraded around once in awhile in front of your friends. We enjoy having you show us off to your friends, kind of like, 'Hey, look at my hot ass girlfriend! Aren't you jealous?" But we don't enjoy being nothing but a trophy girl

12) Nicknames like "Babe, or darling" are safe to call just about any girl. But beware of "Princess or Angel". Some girls will take offense to this thinking you are calling them to innocent or incapable of taking care of themselves.

13) Speaking of nicknames, almost every girl has ONE nickname that they just love to be called

14) Most girls will drop lots of hints to tell you that they like you, but won't come right out and say" I like you" or "I love you". If you think they like you, there is a good chance they do.

15) Scenario time! -You like a girl named Ashley, Ashley has a friend named Brenda. Brenda comes up you in the hall and asks "Do you like Ashley?"

More often than not in this scenario Ashley asked Brenda to ask you because she is to shy to ask you herself. And even if she didn't the first thing Brenda is going to do with your answer is tell Ashley. Now you are thinking "WHAT!? NO!! DON"T TELL HER THAT!!!" but in reality, this is a good thing. Because there is a good chance she already likes you. And if she doesn't, she will now be looking at you in a different way, and let me tell you. It's a lot easier to fall for a guy if you already know they like you. So its safe. So go ahead and tell Brenda that you like Ashley. Take a chance.

16) Girls hate it when guys say perverted things.

17) Girls love to feel special, even though they might not show it
18) Girls talk about everything with their girl friends. So unless you tell us not to tell them about something, they WILL know about it within 3 days. And if you are the girl's boyfriend, that means, you're possibly 90% of their conversation. And believe me, trash talking takes up most of it, unless you're a Greek god, which you're not...

19) Girls hate guys with bad hygiene.

20) Girls love it when a guy pulls them close by the waist

21) Most girls like a guy that will willing dance with them, even if he doesn't know how

22) Usually, when a girl is sarcastically mean to you, it means they're attracted to you, but are afraid that they'll be showing too much

23) A kiss on the hand with the right timing can be a REAL TURN-ON

24) Some girls can think about their crushes for 18+ hours straight. No exaggeration

25) When a guy says something really sentimental, girls will remember it forever

26) Girls get embarrassed easily, even if guys don't know what the hell just happened.

27) Girls daydream about their crushes ALL the time. They just don't show it.

28) When a girl is upset and wants you to listen, she wants you to listen. She doesn't need you to fix it or tell her how to. She just wants you to listen.

29) When a girl is crying, she feels a lot safer if you pull her close and tell her that everything is going to be all right. And more likely than not, it will endear them to you more than anything else.

30) Girls love it when guys say their name

31) Girls love confidence

32) When a girl cooks for you, you know you mean a lot to her

33) Girls hate it when other girls flirt. Yet they flirt themselves too. Ah, the beauty of irony

34) We don't enjoy talking dirty to you as much as you enjoy listening.

35) Saying something sweet might get you off the hook; doing something sweet will always get you off the hook.

36) Size does matter, but only to hoes; not girls that want relationships.

37) No matter what you say, your ex-girlfriend is a hoe to us. Not because we don't like your taste in women, because believe me WE do! its just that...we don't want to have to wonder if she is better than us. And if she is a hoe, we are better. So it makes things simple for us.

38) We are self-conscious by nature; we can't help it. But we CAN try and hide it.

39) Even if you think it is cool to burp, fart, or emit other strange gases from your body, it is not. Though we sometimes will tell you it is.

40) As far as you are concerned, we are beautiful at all times, and don't tell us different, unless you make it sound like a compliment (even if it isn't) Like, "You were really pretty yesterday when you wore -insert clothing/accessory here-, I think you should wear that more often"

41) Whatever you do, don't just show up at our house unexpected or at least without ringing the door bell...we run around in our underwear just like you do. And no matter how much you would like to see that, we will likely never talk to you again

42) DON'T CHEAT ON US. It may seem foolproof, but girls tell each other everything about everything. Trust me, they WILL find out and you will be dirt.

43) We want you to beware of every male relative and all guy friends. All of them would kick your ass at the drop of a hat, and a lot of them wouldn't even wait for the damn hat. We just don't want you to be too obvious.

44) We enjoy being kissed by you in front of your friends. It makes us feel like you care a lot about us.

45) You don't have PMS; so don't act like you know what it's like. Don't try to understand...believe me you never will.

46) Violent statements like "If that guy keeps looking at you, I'm going to tear his head off" are appealing

47) We don't want you to say you love us if you don't mean it

48) We love it when you make eye contact with us while we talk.

49) Most girls are afraid of losing our independence to guys (for some unknown reason)

50) If you ask a girl out directly, more likely than not, she will say yes to you. Even if she only has lukewarm feelings for you, because it will give her the chance to get to know you better and get to like you even more.

51) Most girls love it when guys ask them for advice.

52) Girls like it when you tell us what you are thinking, even if you don't understand it yourself

53) After you've been dating for a while, realize that we really have started to trust you. When you have a girlfriend who truly trusts you, you have a lot more responsibility, privilege and control than you would think. Be careful with it, most guys would kill for that kind of power, and it can be lost in a nanosecond

54) There is nothing wrong with being attentive and sensitive. However, this behavior can be carried too far. You don't have to hang on our every word or give in to our every whim. The thrill of the chase doesn't end after the first successful pick-up line. If you don't present us with some minor challenges, we're likely to get bored, or worse, feel that you're creepy and obsessive.

55) Variety is the spice of life. There are patterns underlying what your woman says she likes and doesn't like. It would benefit you far more to try and discern the nature of these than to repeat everything she admits to enjoying until she no longer does

56) Most men think the chase ends once they have us, but truly it has only just began.You must work even harder to keep us then you do you earn us. We not some trophy you can earn,put on a shelf and admire. You have to care for us like the living human beings we are.(see 54)

57)WHEN WE SAY NO ITS NO, SO STOP ASKING!!!

58)If someone flirts with you, its a complement. If you're not interested, accept it but dont flirt back.

59)The woman in your life needs to hear how you feel about her, and often. Tell her now

60)All women are complicated, and it is doubtful any man will ever fully be able to understand us.But we know that, so its going to be ok.

The kindest face

I'll ever see,

The kindest voice I'll ever hear.

The one who cares the most for me

Is my own mother dear.

All through the year

I'll try to do

The things that show

My love for you.

And not be happy just to say,

"I love you, Mother," on Mother's Day. ♥♥
