The Many Sides of Sea in May

A morning walk to the sea

Seats by the beach



A solemn evening at white beach






Lovely night walk at the beach

Fabulous. This is a month of sea outing for me.

I am glad that I am raised in a town of sea.

I love to reside nearby the sea. Despite the water turbulence of world disasters, I still hold that I am never bored with the sea.

I am blessed to walk nearby the sea. The voice of the sea and its sparkling blue gem greet the houses in the surrounding areas. The school children have fun. Young couples and family are walking together with laughter and joy.

Surfers manoeuver the classic and new waves. Older ones are enjoying the cuppa nearby the beach cafe.

Walking to the never-been-before seas and a re-visit to former beaches give a refreshing sense and I smell new respiration.

I wish time could stop. Right now.

The Power of Being in the Moment

My favourite sweet spot in the garden

My gigantic hugging tree at green linear

Walking down to town in the early evening



Casting of the late noon sun upon the church

 

Every moment , be it the past, present and future stores a meaning behind it.

I suppose mapping the foreign terrain will build a bigger collection of the power of being in the moment.

When I made the decision to leave a familiar place of many years and though it means no fixed homes, there are no regrets in restrospect.

If I have not, I would not have learned much and learning better each day.

Many things could stay the same but I know I won't be.

In this life, unless we make a little bold steps and further, we never know how much we could be.

A person who is alive is constantly getting lost. The big thing...is to realize that this your own adventure, and that all the field guides....holding up mirrors can only flash you...a glimpse of your own story. It's yours to savor. It belongs to no one else.

Bonnie F.

Yes, there are always something that no one can steal from us. Only we ourselves can feel it within. Only we can tell the story. The encounter of extraordinary moments that was written in our heart, soul and mind.

Whether in the company of our loved ones, the community and on our own.

As I was walking alone the street of this lovely town, I feel blessed. It was a beautiful, sunny day in the midst of chill. I left my trail at the little cottages, art galleries and cafes which dotted along the street. The cathedral stood tall and bathed in evening light. 'Blessed' became the vocabulary of the day.

After all, these moments are hard to come when the pouring rain may hold its mercy.

Colder

Autumn trees on my way to town

The old autumn foliages

Autumn is making its way for winter. It's getting colder.

As dark falls earlier than the day, time is edging at a quicker pace which I couldn't earn.

Couldn't sleep well of late. Dun wanna hold on to those tablets somehow. Hating capsules, these never change.

Somehow, I love to embrace the chill at times. A sense of freedom and quietness entered the soul.

Yea, I just want silence and the sea. I learn to cherish what's more important and worthwhile for the soul, heart, mind and spirit.

There are moments that couldn't be bought. There are moments where we cannot turn back. However, there are moments that will not be forgotten because of its significance, depth and breadth that only you experience and feel throughout which stays in your heart. Which I thank Almighty God for those extraordinary, amazing moments.

When love takes you in and out

I 've heard. Very often.

One of the biggest, important decision a woman made is the man whom she decides to fall for and eventually dedicating her life to him.

Wrong judgment is a not a mere mistake, it's a super huge mistake. Not only affecting one's life but her kins, comrades and others close to her.

I am unsure if I have or would make the mistake. For a non-believer of marriage as I am, I suppose time could almost provides answer in many aspects of our life.

Marriage could resemble a gamble. You do not know what is the outcome as you dedicate yourself for this scared covenant (which it is supposed to be but decadence is slowly tearing its solid fabric). People change in  marriage. For better, (possible but rarely) and for worst (not impossible and often).

Z, a woman who fell in love and married a man who has not loved himself but drugs. Needless to say, this marriage didn't last and Z is staying with her daughter and  a divorce is yet to be filed.

Moving on, Z fell for K. They stay together without a solemnization. A little boy was born out from this relationship. So, two children in a complicated man and woman relationship. Somehow, this relationship doesn't seem to work well too as K is not the sort of family guy, who stay at home for the 'wife'and children. 

The former addicts to drugs while K addicts to alcohol. It is easy to label Z, being foolish and unwise after her first marriage collapsed.

However, who are we to judge at the end of the day?

Some would say love conquers everything. You love someone for the good and the bad.

Hmm...

How do you know whether you love someone unconditionally? Don't we often love someone because of  the 'because' factor? Because he is this, he is that. Because she could do this, do that. And appearance is always the biggest factor.

I have always wanted my significant other to be a player. Of course not the player of Playboy but someone who can strum the guitar, beat the drums or run through the piano keys effortlessly.  But that doesn't happen, well except for once. Above this preference, I realize that there are far more essential factors to consider in a life mate. Chemistry and communication should be among those big factors which also  involved effort and sacrifice.

Prayerfully, I learn to love well.

FOrgive me , my dear.

Are you happy now?

It is not easy. Everything seems to be against me right now but I told myself, at least I am not.

By now, I should know it not wise to ask 'why', too common a question.

Yet, I couldn't stop asking.

Why good things are deemed bad right now?

What exactly are good and what are not?

I am here all by myself. Passing through the tunnel in the yellow light.

No one to cheer me. No one to listen.

I don't know where I am heading to. I just feel a little safe in this tunnel.

Is it wrong for me to leave?

Is it right for me to say?

I wish I could not be found forever more.

Spending my time in the creek and throwing stones.

ANyway, maybe, I am up the creek.

Looking at the ripples made. Quiet. Gazing at the verdant.

Jane Austen once said that's the best refreshment.

And great , the end is coming.

WHEN THE STARS GO BLUE
Composer: Ryan Adams

Dancin' where the stars go blue
Dancin' where the evening fell
Dancin' in your wooden shoes
In a wedding gown

Dancin' out on 7th street
Dancin' through the underground
Dancin' little marionette
Are you happy now?

Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue
Stars go blue
Stars go blue
Stars go blue

Laughing with your pretty mouth
Laughing with your broken eyes
Laughing with your lover's tongue
In a lullaby

Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue
stars go blue
stars go blue
stars go blue
When the stars go blue
Stars go blue
stars go blue
Stars go blue

Where do you go
Where do you go when you're blue, yeah
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you, follow you, follow you
Yeah

A Beautiful Soul

This steadfast lady deserved to be mentioned. She is amongst others who teach me about real love.

Love. The world has been seeking for it, near and far, true or false, rain or shine.

It is painful to learn of Clement's tragedy. A young man who came home from Downunder to take charge of planes only to find himself hurt in an unfortunate accident. Despite this, Leong persevered throughout her life. Despite her failed marriage. Despite her unhappy childhood. I salute you. May God'a grace and mercy continue to embrace you.

Baby, before you

One wonders how the rascal crying baby could be such a sweetie that melts the burden and concern of the day. Yup, coz he/she will make you his burden and concern throughout the night.=)
Even then, mummy have no choice but to love still, right?

Dedicating this to little darling.

Title: BEFORE YOU
Artist: Chantal Kreviazuk
Album: Colour Moving and Still
Year released: 1999

Baby, before you
Well, I was bad news
In lettin' me love you
I think I can get through

Oh, baby before you
Well, I was so scared
I was a train wreck waitin' to happen
On the way to nowhere

And now I think it's kinda funny that you say you love me
You tell me that I'm crazy then you smile

And now I think I'll get through
The end of the world
And now I think I'll get through
Bein' a girl
Now I think I'll get through
Anything
And now I think I'll get through

Now honey around you
I'm feelin' so good
'Cause you picked me up out of the rough
And you polished me up and made me brand new

And baby before you, ho ho
There was just a black hole
Yeah I was beat down, blacked out
My darling you couldn't even know

But ever since I met you on a cloudy Monday
I can't believe how much I love the rain

And now I think I'll get through
The end of the world
And now I think I'll get through
Life as a girl
Now I think I'll get through
Anything
Now I think I'll get through

Ever since I met you on a cloudy Monday
I can't believe how much I love the rain

And now I think I'll get through
The end of the world
And now I think I'll get through
Life as a girl
Now I think I'll get through
Anything
Now I think I'll get through

Oh ... ho ...
Now I think I'll get through
Oh ....
Now I think I'll get through
Oh ... ho ...
And now I think I'll get through

And now I think I'll get through
Oh, and now I think I'll get through
Oh, and now I think I'll get through
