You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm findin' it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm goin' through
I just can't smile without you
You came along just like a song
And brightened my day
Who'da believed that you were part of a dream?
Now it all seems light years away
And now you know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm findin' it hard to do anything
You see, I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm goin' through
I just can't smile without you
Now some people say happiness
Takes so very long to find
Well I'm finding it hard
Leavin' your love behind me
And you see I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm findin' it hard to do anything
You see I feel glad when you're glad
I feel sad when you're sad
If you only knew what I'm goin' through
I just can't smile without you...

Need Help? Don't We All?
"No matter how much you have, no matter how much you have accomplished, you need help too. No matter how little you have, no matter how loaded you are with problems, even without money or a place to sleep, you can give help. Even if it's just a compliment, you can give that!"
Powerful words, I received this as part of an email I received from the wise Counsellor.
Needless to say, this has made my day.
It actually puts me more focused into the tasks at hand, things I have left unaccomplished & people I may have neglected to show more than concern for.
And how energizing it is to receive such beautiful things at trying times such as these.
For however we see things; events take place, tides turn & leaves fall off the tree for a reason.
That reason, having been so elusive to my mind, is now being more apparent.
Assistance, being a noun far more acceptable in our lives today in this fast-paced world is a better way to say "Help".
We give & we take assistance for different reasons.
The more we feel repulsive towards that hand stretched out, the mere fact that it was there may make us feel desolate.
The more we try to run away from those who will stop at nothing to see us happy, the further it will be for us to find that ever-elusive “happiness”.
And maybe, when it truly comes, we may not know them in the form it presents itself, as such, it shall forever be gone & never to be seen.
But only 1 thing is constant in all the quests we may have in life.
That we are constantly looking:
For a peace of mind;
For a better way to live;
For that someone we can truly call our own.
My sincerest congratulations if you have found yours.
I have found mine as well, it’s the convincing her to reach out that will take some effort.

Indecisive Decision, Whatever?
"Maybe... you should dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be; because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you dream of, and want to do..."
The revelations during this weekend are amazing.
Eventhough the light at the end of the tunnel seemed imminent; the way ahead looks bleaker by the second.
Met a guy at a gathering recently who revealed too much of his "profession" – Taking Names, Changing Lives.
Mentioned that it is really not that difficult to do, all it takes is just new travel documents, a certified Death Cert, a sum of money & peace is yours.
Whoah, talk about having a "new lease of life"...
Having announced one of the most controversial decisions I have made to date was not easy for me.
Neither was it just a sip of bliss for my paternal source, as I found out.
But he had to know.
I was to tell him.
Then there was the "brother & brother mamak session" with our YB.
And what an amazing time wehad.
Wow, this fella has really grown up.
But whether the ears have really popped-out, let’s wait & see.
Of course, along the way, there had to be an offer.
An offer which would mean leaving behind all the things which matter dearly to me.
No guarantees whatsoever, not even sure if it is worth it.
But the thought that this could be the only way for me to finally execute my escapism would materialise.
It’s the perfect "get-away", would not be seen as an excuse to "run away", but the question of whether I will be able to withstand the pressure & live up to the expectation is also another factor to my decision.
Plus, a pringles + float session, which, if misconstrued may be seen as an attempt to go back to square 1 & forever be stuck in the "not-so-comfortable" comfort zone.
And then, there is the "breaking the news"
Funny.
Didn’t really get the reaction I was hoping for.
But then again, what kind of reaction was I expecting anyway?
Ah well.
We’ll see.
