Dream

I don't want to wake up from this dream
Things are ever so nice as it seems
Everything is fine and there are no worries
Like the pianist's fingers dancing over the ivories

I know the dawn is getting near
But I don't want to leave my dear
Please don't take me away from here
Because I'd like to stay forever

Turning around to take one last look
Of the trip that i just took
Looking at her with misty eyes
Because I hate to say goodbyes

I'd like to make myself believe
That this dream will never end, really
I'm worried if I woke up accidentally
I will not be able to remember the fantasy

Sadly it doesn't work that way
I am forced to wake up everyday
It's definitely not the way I like
But it is not like I have the right

Going to sleep without setting the alarm clock
Still thinking of a trip that I can't recall
I wish when I found that piece of memory in the gleam
I am too tired to wake up from this dream

Forever.

Written by Aftermath,
In the memory of my trip.

Aftermath, signing off.


PS: EARLY HAPPY CNY TO EVERYONE.

Time, time, time

Staying in my dorm
Sitting in my room
In front of my comp
Listen to a song
Humming to the tone
Charging my cell phone
Setting my ring tone
Let me get it done

It is getting really late man
Five-fifty-five plus in the A-M
No really don't worry I'm not mad
Night stalking as always, yes I am.

Starting to hate this faceless time
The speed, way way faster than mine
Why, hell ya, I do mind
Because time is worth a zillion's dime

Chasing the time for my own damn sake
Keep it up, I don't want my rhythm to break
Like catching water with bare hands in a lake
Eventually but surely it will just leak.

I asked myself, does time flies, really?
And the same answer stuck myself, sadly
Yes, ha-ha, yes, and he doesn't look happy
Yea, I know it is not funny
But this is the f***ing reality
And we can't we ain't changing any

When time is gone there is the past tense
Hey you can't change it so don't pretend
All you need is to keep on fighting, and
The battle between the time is just getting intense

Time goes vrum-vrum fast like hell
That's why we need to use it well
This is what Aftermath will tell
Sleep late, stay awake, like KL

Time had moved on in a speed that shock me
Datelines and deadlines for me to meet
Is time sending a message trying to tell me
You are too slow, man, try to chase me!
If I'm late I will likely be a dead meat
Yea, the assignments, you will get an 'E'!

Eh - is time trying to tell me that
You are a step closer to the end, that
You need to hurry up to catch up so that
You won't be left behind and be like tat.

Okay stop the crap and let me continue and
Let me conclude this bull-shyt so that I can
Finish this post and, so that I can sleep then
One thing is for sure that, time is very fast and
Not to win it, but try to catch up the beat and
Try not to miss too much and enjoy as much as you can
So that you will not regret later on and
Before you notice the post has come to an end.



Peace xD

So long, good night.

So it's been about 3 weeks plus since I came back to Desaria.
Life didnt change much, except some new friends - and 1 special, unexpected, but pleasant guest.

We had a lot of fun times together. Never been that fun in campus life before.
Drove to Penang, Bukit Merah, Klang. Ah, at last I ate the Klang 'Bak Kut Teh'.

Planning to buy Nikon D60 Camera.

Homework is starting to pour in like flood - soon it will be tsunami.

昨天已是历史 - 被记得

Had our last supper with her yesterday - half drunk.


Today is also the first time I sent my friend away in an airport.

Missed, and will be remembered
Hope to see you again

Time Flies

Time flies fast like hell
So we need to use it well
It never stop and never wait
That's why I always stay up late.. =p

LOL... some stupid cooked-up so-called 'poem'.


Yea, time really 'flies'. It's like I've just entered LUCT in January and now it's already May. Whoa...
Damn fast... 1 semester gone... half of the 13.5k used...
I do learned some stuffs... created some 'masterpiece'... and let's not forgot some stupid, crappy work.
Well, shit happens right?
Btw, I will load the artwork here when I have the time, internet speed, and computer.

So 1 Semester almost gone. Now rushing my assignments - almost done.
Presentation will be held next week.
Same goes to the Moral Studies final exam.
Gee... I thought going to campus means free from the boring moral, history and geography.
Apparently not.

But after next week, it will be my [about] 2 months' long holiday! :)
Must think of what to do... haha

Btw, last week's Friday is 1st of May, the Labour Day. It's a holiday, in case anyone doesn't know that. Luckily, I knew Jacky was going to go back to Ipoh too, so I followed.
It isn't free, mind you. The taxi fare from my place to his place (Cyberjaya to Subang Jaya SS15) cost RM35!! Hell expensive.
But going back home to sleep and eat is a nice one. :)
And my cousin came back too - nice timing.


This week is a special week for the world's mother.

I would like to wish every mother, grandmother in this world:

HAPPY MOTHER's DAY
We all LOVE ya!

Thank you for everything.


Love from,
DavidLiou


Before I end, the usual time for some old joke.

Back 2 Campus

Tomorrow, tomorrow, and tomorrow.
Time passed faster than arrow.
Going back to campus with a shirt not in black but yellow.
Now blogging from the computer that I borrowed.


Haha... some really stupid poem.
The SitRep is, now I'm using LimKokWing's air-conditioned research center library's E-library's computer.
And I did be laughing hard if you are trying to read out the sentence above aloud.
Blek... =P


Alright, back to business.
CNY had just passed...
Sorry, correction, I mean the first few days of CNY had just passed.
FYI, CNY last for 15 days - that's the tradition.
But we can't have a full holiday of 15 days now, right? LOL.

Back to home is nice. No need to wash my clothes by hand, washing machine is there. No need to cook. And the best thing is - my bedroom.
Basically the whole CNY I'm staying at home, doing nothing much but rest.
"Resting is to travel a longer distance," said so by a Chinese proverb.

Besides resting, we need fun right? So I went to my friends house by the 3rd day of the CNY.
We started out eating in "Moven Peak" steamboat restaurant, from 7:45pm to 10:30 pm.
Then we went to Jacky's house and had some games, chat, and drinking. Some of them gamble too, but not me - no thanks.
In the middle of the night, we went for a basketball game from 2am to 4:30am. Damn cool.
After that we went mamak stall and had... what should I call that? Supper or Breakfast?

And there goes my CNY - I think.

Now back to school, real classes started. No more playing stuffs around.
The first day we had an English test - those who get below 75% will need to attend for the IH (International House) classes on Communication Studies. The stupid thing is - they don't accept GCE 'O' Level's English result.
What to do, took the test. The ironic part is, the essay section, there is a question about: "Discuss about exam and test. Do you agree on exams and tests. If a person passed the exams will he succeed? What if he failed the exams, will he not succeed in the future?"
Something like that. That's why I said it's ironic.

But after all, like the seniors said - have fun, be safe, and attend classes. Haha...

Gathering for Senior 2 2008

19th November 2008...
Our last class operation has been ended.

Well... it's a mixture of feelings in it...

Happy..
Because we gonna leave the school (you guys know what i mean)...
Because we wont be having boring lessons, at least for a while...
Because we are elder now! (and ironically, older)...
Because we gonna take one big step forward to another new era of our life...

Sad...
Because we gonna part real soon...
dunno when can we meet again...
Because I'm gonna miss the school, and my junior friends in there...
Because the road ahead is tough, and I hate making decisions...

But anyway, this is life...
Always walk forward...
Law of nature...
That's why time never goes backwards...
There is only forward...
It comes to natural selection too...
You will go to the area where you are excel in...

To all my friends I wish you all good luck and all the best for the future.
Hope that we can meet again...
and keep in touch.

Gonna miss you guys very much...

haiz... what to do... this is life...


Semper paratus, Semper fi

Aftermath, out.

PS: Btw... gonna plan my holiday... starting with continuing my story i guess..
PSS: Here's a thing for everyone of Poi Lam Senior 2, 2008: Together.Remember.Each-other, by Aftermath.
.

Hello, my friends
We meet each other
Since we are thirteen
Under the very roof
Of our Poi Lam High School
In year 2004

Year 1:
All young and sacred ( maybe not all :P )
Started out the journey
Of a teenager's life
In our Poi Lam secondary
Where we are united
By the lessons we attended

Year 2:
By that, we knew more
About our school, lessons, and life
Our friendship began
Boys started to play basketball as a team
Girls started to find their groups
Where everyone share their interest together

Year 3:
After being 24 months of junior
We knew each other very well
Although it's the exam year
We were having fun as well
Leaving the hall after half-an hour
Teacher exclaimed: What the hell?

Year 4:
Entering the senior year
The way of life changed
Relationships started
Things started to be complicated
Having greater abilities
Will bears you greater responsibilities

Year 5:
For many of us
This is our final year
After studying for so many years
We ultimately finished our GCE's
Well, not too stressful
We were having vacations in sentosa island

The gathering dinner
We shall always remember
To keep in touch with each other
And remember
Our journey from junior to senior
Together.

Life... Part II

This is dedicated to my dear friend who have doubt about life itself.

Life?
What is life?
I tell you what is life.

Life is a process.
A complicated process.
A process to train,
a process to refine,
a precess to learn,
our very unique soul.

May you be weak,
you train to be strong.
May you be strong,
you refine to be stronger.
May you be stronger,
you learn to help,
to share,
to care,
to love...

The way to near-perfect isn't easy.
There are a lot of test
Difficulties arise
Devils trying to knock you off-path
Life is hard
and suffering.

However
without a scratch
without a fail
without pain
without getting hurt
How can a soul - a life
grow stronger?

No one climb up
before they fall
No one stand
before they crawl
No one is high up in the sky
before they are down on the ground
No one is successful
before they fail

For failing itself
is the best teacher
For falling
you know how to evade the pain
For being down
you know how to cope with it
For going through all this
you can help youself
and others.

That's why
this is the reason why
we should appreciate
we should care
what we have now
For this is
the process of life
a trip, for our very unique soul.

Life is just
a mere few tenths years of journey
Life is like a trip
a very fast one
an express tour
for our soul

Every single person
who sign up for this trip
comes in with nothing
and go away without anything
The different, is what you do
what you leave
what difference had you made

How much different
you made to the world
to make it a better place
to help those who need
to assist people around you
to care your friends and family
to love...

People leave the world
nothing, but
achievements to be learned
records to be broken
values to be shared
knowledge to be invested
This is why
every single person in the world
worth the same.

Death, will come
one day
Everyone will leave this world
one day
But we don't find death ourselves
for death will arrive by its own
when the time is right

Your death might be worthless
to you
But it is a great lost
to others
Everyone's life have a purpose
One day
you might save a person's life
if not more
One day
you might make this world
a better one
People do care about your life.

Since you had signed
the journey of your life
don't waste it
and put it to good use
till the very end

Be acknowledged that
for if you are down
there is always someone
to help you
to support you
to accompany you

Don't regret
when all the things finally lost
Don't tell me you won't regret
for there is still many things
that you don't know
that you haven't try
that you haven't feel
You won't know it
until you truly loss everything

But then
that will be
too late...

This is life
shit happens
but remember
we are always there
somewhere
it's for you to call upon

There is always a clear sky
after a terrible storm.

Peace.

Aftermath, out.

Fair?

Fair?
Nothing in this damn word is completely fair.
And I mean nothing.
You try to be friend with someone, doesn't mean that person will want to befriend you.
You polite to someone, doesn't mean that person will be polite to you.
You gentle to someone, doesn't mean that person will be gentle to you.
You give way, doesn't mean others will give way to you too.
You care someone, doesn't mean you will be cared back.
You do something, doesn't mean you will receive it back.
You work so hard for it, doesn't mean you will get the payback.
You be a good guy, doesn't mean others won't be baddies on you.
You try to be just, doesn't mean justice will stand on your side.
You want to be fair, doesn't mean the world will be fair to you.
You try to be honest, doesn't mean others won't cheat you.
You try to be honest, doesn't mean you will get good repay.
You try to be honest, doesn't mean others will be grateful for that.

Now I understand
why there is always cheating
always dirty moves
always self-centered

People said that it's non of their business.
People said that it has their own reason for doing so.

It doesn't mean you do that much, you will be repaid back that much.
It doesn't mean if you try to do it very hard, you will get what you hope very much.
Good people don't always have good ends.
Or maybe, we are not that 'good' after all.


But does that means we shouldn't be good people?
Does that means we should cheat?

I think No.
But there is always no correct answer.
I dunno... if the world is fair, I won't be writing this shit out.



Aftermath, fading out.

Life

A loud cry - a new life born
Another cry - a life's gone
Life's a strange thing
It's easy come,
yet, it's easy to go.

God bring life to the world
A wonderful, colourful world
In a cry, like a boom
A life is born
Welcome, life!

Life is like a game
You need to learn it
You need to practice it
You can always win it
Yet, you can also lose it.

Life is like a rollacoaster
You feel that time files when you are happy
But sometimes you feel that it is slow as a snail
You can feel high at the moment
Yet, you can be low at times.

Life is like emotions
There is pleasure
There is pain
There is happiness
There is sadness

Life is like colours
There is red - to stop
There is green - to go
Yet there is no black or white
There is only an endless sea of grey

Life is like war
No one wins it - they survive it
There are hard times
But there will be only a clear sky,
after a dark storm.

Hundreds of moon passes
There is nothing as an endless party
Everything will parts in the end
It's the process that matters
Life, is not an exception, either.

Death, is nothing for a planned mind
But a new journey, full of new excitements
It's also a new chance
A chance to repair, to start over
what we cant change.

Life, however, is a sacred thing
Living is both enjoy and suffer
But one shall not choose
to end it, to prolong it
with extraordinary means

Life is unpredictable, so is death
One can decide their own fate
But one cannot decide its destiny
Those who decide their ends
are either cowards or foolish.

A loud cry - a new life born
Another cry - a life's gone
Life's a strange thing
It's easy come,
yet, it's easy to go.

Free holiday... a short, boring entry

***Prepare for the launch...***
5...
4...
3...
2...
1...
**Rocket is launched!**

On local time (MAS) 11th of October 2007, 0:26am, A Russian rocket carrying Malaysia's first astronaut has blasted off from Kazakhstan.
A new era of space travel for Malaysia!
However, many people are saying that it's a waste of money.

Personally, yes.
The money spend on the cost of space travel is better off used in improving the quality of our life. Public properties, for example. You should know how 'good' it is.


Anyway, enough stuff for that.

Got free holidays because of Hari Raya. Great. I think this is the first time Private school got more holidays than government school.

And the DotA match today is fun. Damn... got blame for being 'lanci' because I farmed till 3k HP... what the hell... that Ah Kin...
Btw there is really no lag at the start of the match and maybe that's why Jacky say we 'lanci'...
But other matches are fun. Nice to have a free day without parents around. :P

Oh yea... anyone planning to go and watch Seeker: The Dark Is Rising? It seems to be a good movie.

And for Tomato Mak's sake, RAIN CATS AND DOGS! :p Just kidding...


At the end of my entry, I would like to quote a poem I went pass somewhere in the net.
Hope you all enjoy.

I had closed the door upon my heart
And wouldn't let anyone in,
I had trusted and loved only to be hurt
But, that would never happen again.

I had locked the door and tossed the key
As hard, and as far as I could,
Love would never enter there again,
My heart was closed for good.

Then you came into my life
And made me change my mind,
Just when I thought that tiny key
was impossible to find.

That's when you held out your hand
And proved to me I was wrong,
Inside your palm was the key to my heart...
You had it all along.

- Marsha Hoyt -

PS: To W. Qin, don't be sad. Remember there is always friends that care about you. And no one is perfect. :)
PSS: Gee... even Perfect World's character isn't perfect... =.='''

Unlucky day... well nevermind... I have friends with me... :)

Alright... A bad day for me today...

It started out when our discipline master search classes for long-hairs. Well, as all my friends know, my hair is relatively short and is always up-to-standard.

But what the hell...

I got my hair cut my the discipline master. And he only cut my hair for not more than 1 cm. Is he too free? =.='''

But one thing is sure that his 'skills' had 'improved'. All our hair is cut in a straight line, so straight that you can use the ruler to measure it...

------

I found a nice and short poem online, and I would like to hare it with you all.

When you need a shoulder to cry on,
Remember that I have a warm embrace,
Ready to offer comfort.

When you think I'm being too tough,
Remember that which does not kill you
Makes you stronger.

When you need a friend to listen,
Remember that I am here for you,
Always.

When you doubt me,
Remember that I once knelt at your feet,
Washing them in service to you.

When you lose faith in yourself,
Remember that I never did,
Nor ever will.

~Tara Simms

It's a nice poem about friendship. Always remember, there are always friends that care about you, trust you, help you, and ready to lend their ears to you.
Never walk alone - the Liverpool Football Club team song, is really a good song for all of us friends. We are like a team, a strong unit when we combined and work together.
Heard of the story of 'The Sticks and the Sons'? One stick is so weak that even the youngest son can break it with ease, but when combined, it is so strong that no one can break them. That's the moral.
Never feel lonely. There are always friends, and I found them a great pleasure in my life. There is no real 'solo' in real life.
So if you are feeling low, don't be worried to speak it out.
Remember, you are not alone.

----

At the end of my entry, I would like to post a story that is found on a forum. It's a Chinese one, and very touching.
Hope you enjoy it.

***
有一個年輕人喜歡上了在便利商店打工的女孩,他每天都會到女孩工作的店裡面買一包香煙,

漸漸的兩人開始互相熟悉,當女孩工作感到無聊乏味的時候,
年輕人就會出現,他會陪女孩說說話 ,或是逗女孩開心.
女孩也知道年輕人似乎喜歡上自己了,可是自己已經有很要好的男友.

有商店夾公仔機...女孩很喜歡裡面的娃娃,
年輕人知道以後,當天他終於對她表白,希望女孩能接受他,
不知如何是好的女孩,只能殘忍的告訴年輕人,她和他是不可能的,
因為她已經有深愛的男友了,年輕人聽了之後默然的點點頭,
他不死心的問女孩,自己真的沒有機會了嗎?

善良的女孩不忍心....
於是她手指著娃娃機裡面的絨毛娃娃說,
除非你夾滿100個娃娃,而且一天只能夾一個.
原來女孩希望用時間來沖淡年輕人對自己的感情 ,
她心想,一天夾1個娃娃, 最快也要三個多月之後才有100個,
而且年輕人應該不會真的有耐心夾滿100個娃娃吧

這三個月的時間,她會盡量與男孩保持距離,
年輕人還是每天到商店來,可是女孩開始變得冷淡,
他總是試著聊一些女孩有興趣的話題,不過女孩依然愛理不理.

因為她知道唯有這樣做,才不會讓年輕人越陷越深.
年輕人或許是感覺到女孩的用意,
於是他每天夾娃娃,有時運氣好夾一兩次就中了,
有時運氣差,零用錢花光了也夾不到,只好跟朋友借錢繼續夾,一直到夾中為止.
無論花多少錢花多少時間,他每天一定會夾一個娃娃,
只是他無法與女孩分享夾到娃娃的喜悅,
因為他知道女孩有意要避開他,
為了怕引響到女孩的情緒,他只能在櫥窗外頭微笑的對女孩點點頭.

好幾次,看到年輕人因為夾到娃娃興高采烈的樣子,
女孩都想要衝出去對他說,
我是騙你的,你不要再夾了,就算你真的夾到100個娃娃,我跟你也是不可能的!
但是一想到年輕人希望破滅的樣子,女孩就於心不忍,她只能不斷猶豫.
就這樣1 天,2天,3天..,年輕人的娃娃數量不斷的累積,而女孩刻意與年輕人保持距離的結果,
則是讓自己在工作的時後更顯孤單.不知道是哪一天,女孩子因為在外地工作的男友無法回來陪她過18歲的生日,
與男友吵了一架,而那天年輕人仍一如往常的來到便利商店,
不同的是那天年輕人竟走進了店裡,他對女孩說,
可不可以破例讓他在今天夾兩個娃娃回去,
可是因為和男友吵架而心情不佳的女孩,很生氣的當場拒絕了他.
就這樣,年輕人走到娃娃機旁,默默的夾了一個娃娃回去,
年輕人離開的時後,他對櫥窗裡的女孩看了一眼.

隔天以後,年輕人再也沒來夾娃娃了.剛開始女孩雖然覺得奇怪,但是仍然慶幸自己終於放下了心中的大石頭.
可是漸漸的,她突然覺得不習慣,
因為那個每天都會為了她來夾娃娃的熟悉背影,
好像空氣一樣就消失不見了,這時女孩才發現到,
原來她心中的失落感遠遠超過年輕人所帶給她的負擔.
只是一切都...女孩開始想念以前年輕人來店裡陪她聊天的點點滴滴.
哪怕他只是站在櫥窗外頭沉默不語的夾娃娃,
似乎都會帶給她莫名的安全感.
所以女孩每天上班時,總是不斷的抬頭張望,
那個熟悉的身影來了嗎?

可惜的是,年輕人始終沒出現, 只剩下那台沒人使用的娃娃機.
有一天,女孩下班後,在店門口遇到了以前常和年輕人一起來的朋友,
她焦急的問他年輕人的下落,可是年輕人的朋友則是一臉黯然,
他帶女孩來到年輕人的家,
當他開啟年輕人的房間的門時,映入女孩眼簾的是
一群娃娃機裡面的絨毛娃娃,以及躺在床上動也不動的年輕人.
原來年輕人的脊椎有病,必須要開刀才能保住生命,
可是開刀有一半的機率會失敗而導致全身癱瘓,
年輕人在開刀的前一天晚上,也就是女孩和男友大吵一架的那天,
希望女孩給他機會夾2個娃娃,因為他已經累積有98個了,
然而卻遭到女孩的回絕,隔天之後年輕人手術不幸失敗變成植物人,
年輕人的母親拿了一封信給女孩,那是年輕人在手術之前寫好的:

其實我早就知道,就算夾到了100個娃娃,
妳也不可能會喜歡我,我之所以這麼做並不是故意要造成妳的困擾,
而是希望在我有限的時間裡,
證明我曾經很用心的去愛一個人,
這樣就足夠了,如果妳看到了這封信,
那表示我再也無法為你夾娃娃了,對不起,或許我的努力還不夠吧,
沒能夾到100個娃娃親手送給你..
女孩看著床邊的99個絨毛娃娃,那是99顆無法承受的真心,
眼眶裡的淚水早已決堤而出...
隔天女孩來到年輕人的家,
她將第100個絨毛娃娃放到年輕人的手中,
這時已經變成植物人的他,
眼睛流下了淚水...
