Remembering Me

without comments

I slipped in and it was empty.
One side of it was bare.
The other was filled with shelves.
As I browsed through book after book,
as I flipped pages over pages,
trying to understand how such beauty could be captured by the snap of a shutter,
minutes and hours passed,
and I forgot about Singapore,
and the world forgot me.

But one person didn’t.
The shop owner she is.
So with a cautious glance and a careful smile,
I gave my thanks and took my leave.
And the world?
It didn’t notice a thing.

I’m not afraid

without comments

Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it’s real,
Don’t be afraid
We’ll make it out of this mess.

It’s a love story baby just say yes.

(:

What matters most

without comments

Originally from here.

Isn’t the weather outside, it’s what you put on.
Isn’t the past, it’s what you do with the future.
Isn’t the people who hurt you, it’s what you do with yourself.
Isn’t the he-said she-said of now, it’s the i-will of tomorrow.
Isn’t the sins you’ve committed, it’s the forgiveness you’re given.
Isn’t the tears you may cry, it’s the ones who dry them.
Isn’t the sickness you can endure, it’s the prayer you held to when you were.
Isn’t the next few steps, it’s the next four thousand days.
Isn’t the worries or doubts, it’s the release of going for it anyway.
Isn’t the ones who took you for granted, it’s the ones who saw you through.
Isn’t the strength you have, it’s the strength God can give you.
Isn’t the lowering your standards, it’s God showing you even higher.
Jordan Thomas/2008

Romans 5:5 (NIV)
And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

Love?

without comments

Saw this on the TV during canteen break..

“Love is giving someone the power to hurt you but trusting him/her not to.”

POP on the upcoming Tuesday? Yes I am. But, who cares right? :/

Drunken World

without comments

” The whole world is drunk and we’re just the cocktail of the moment. Someday soon, the world will wake up, down two aspirins with a glass of tomato juice, and wonder what the hell all the fuss was about. “

Another glass of Bloody Mary please ~
