life. 16 years and counting. wat is it? is it about learning to go through pain and learning to stop the pain? or is it about learning to love someone without being loved in return? no one knows. for everyone's life is different. no two people goes thru the same life as another.

Love. what is love? pain? sweetness or emptyness? If someone could put a definite meaning to love, and show me the difference to like and love, i would feel much better. I've come up with one.. but its in chi. " xi huan shi qian qian de ai, ai shi sheng sheng de xi huan." Love is like a pandora's box. Open it and limitless options may open up. Love can make you or break u.

I know i seem happy these days, not minding the scandal, jokin around, playing the clown. I've never stopped and feel sorry or sad for myself. The brakes screeches and i ask myself, "have i been happy all these while?" the ans was.... yes. for i had frens like dorry, chris, shu, rach,amy,angeline, angela, odacians, yan sze and others. Without you people, life wouldn't be what it is today. You people put colours into my black-and-white life. for that. i've written poems for you people.

TO: MY BROTHERS and amanda mum
Friends are who you need the most,
When times are not so right.
They come and go so frequently,
You hope you pick one right.

The right one listens with both ears,
And soothes your aching heart.
The right one never questions you,
When you seem to fall apart.

The friend for you is one who says,
"Be calm and let me help"
For there are some real bad days,
When life hits you below the belt.

All friends are not forever,
They are few and far between,
But the few true friends you do find,
Will never, ever leave.

To gwen:
A true friend never walks away.
A true friend looks out for you.
A true friend will always stay.

A true friend will guard your secrets
like a precious gift.
A true friend is there for you,
to give you a helpful lift.

A true friend tries to make you smile,
tries to replace that frown.
They may not always succeed,
but they rarely let you down.

These arms for you are open,
this heart of mine does care
and when I think you need me...
I'll try to always be there.

I'll listen to your fears,
I promise not to laugh,
comfort your falling tears,
I'll make this friendship last.

I'll keep you close to my heart,
I'll always hold you dear,
even when we're miles apart,
even when you're here.

I hope I am to you
everything you are to me.
For the friendship we have
is a special one indeed.

To Yan szE:
Just thought I'd let you know,
even though we're apart,
wherever I go, whatever I do,
you're always in my heart.

There's not a day that passes by
when I don't stop and wonder why-
why was I blessed with a friend like you,
Even after what I've put you through?

Through all the pain and all the tears,
you're always there to calm my fears.
Thanks for always being around,
to help me up when I am down.

So, I want you to know:
no matter what happens,
or what time may do,
I am always here for you.

A friend of mine
you will always be.
To you, with love,
...From me.


To: Amy
How are friendships created;
What bonds their souls to each?
Is it sharing their deepest secrets
Or the love spoken in their speech?
How are friendships kept
Through the strain that they may face?
Is it saying, ”I love you”... sometimes,
Or occasionally touching base?

How are friendships lost
When there seemed no end in sight?
By ignoring their pain and anguish,
And not sharing in their delight.
So, I pledge to you, my friend,
I’ll never walk away;
I’ll share the good and bad,
And beside you... I’ll always stay.
And when life isn’t worth it,
When the tears roll down your cheek
Just close your eyes and listen
And from a distance... you’ll hear me speak.
Though my words at times seem pointless,
When no answers I seem to impart
Don’t listen the way you have in the past
But listen with your heart.

For the important things in life
Are invisible to your eyes;
You’ll hear them in your heart
For your heart will tell no lies.
So, though I may be far away,
Too far for you to reach,
Remember I’m there forever
For I’ve told you in my speech.

Yet, distance never mattered
For distance will only depend
On the depth of the love I have...
And I love you dearly, my friend.
So when clouds are at their darkest
And no lining do you see
You have a friend, so close,
And that friend - my friend - is me
