Happy Valentine's Day 2011





This is a classic love song that will be forever etched in my memory. Sung by a Taiwanese singer, Show Luo. The lyrics translated in English below.


Love You A Little More Each Day
I ain't hoping, i ain't finding,
Breakthrough heaven and earth, til late nights
Journey's end, hoping to see you
Do you ever know?

As ordinary, as simple it can be,
when the sun rises, in the morning hours,
if only i can see you
That's all i ever hope for

Whenever things are getting harsh, it's you that helps me find my answers
I would never leave, would only stay, my love for you will never ever wither

Chorus: Each passing day passes, as devoted i can be,
loving you a little more, a little more, til it spills
Together, as a part of my life,
Fear neither tomorrow, nor storm or steep paths

What is fame, what is wealth?
As long as being alive, it feels good
Nightly and daily, to see you
it's all that i ever wanted

Whenever things are getting harsh, it's you that helps me find my answers
I would never leave, would only stay, my love for you will never ever wither

Chorus: Each passing day passes, as devoted i can be,
loving you a little more, a little more, til it spills
I'd always love to create every tomorrows' deepest nights

Each passing day passes, as devoted i can be,
loving you a little more, a little more, til it spills (give it some even more)
Together, as a part of my life,
Fear neither tomorrow, nor storm or steep paths

And of course the song sung by the original singer, the talented Jacky Cheung.


HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!

Filial Chinese New Year 2011!

Being away from Malaysia for so long, there are years when I missed watching Malaysia ads and one of those being Petronas Chinese New Year ads. This year's Petronas ad actually brought tears to my eyes, mainly because of what I went through last year. For Malaysians to come up with such ad, I can respectfully claim Malaysians to be a warm and compassionate country. There is no theme more important in a Chinese family than filial piety.


Below are some blurbs on my parents:
A soft-spoken diminutive figure, he speaks little, listens more. When I found out from my cousin that my father ran into a burning building to save my cousins when their house were on fire, I was bowled over. Had it not been for his brave and quick actions, I would not know if I can see my cousins this Chinese New Year. He did not even speak of this until the story was brought up by my cousin.

On my mother's birthday, even after living together for more than 30 years, he would tease my mom of expecting a birthday celebration and silently buys her favorite chocolate to suprise her.

Being the extrovert person in the family, my mother has incredible social skills. She befriends all my friends as well as my siblings' friends and even remembers their birthday. After giving birth to 3 kids, she stayed home to tend to us. I remember one time when my mother was cooking and I was worried about my examinations, I brought my textbook to the kitchen and asked if she could teach me. Without hesitating, she puts down her wok and held on to my book and patiently thought me. Had it not been her, I would not have done so well in school.

Recently, she paid so much attention to me after I went through a misfortune and I have never felt more blessed. Not only did she cooked the most delicious meals for me when I went home but she also bought new recipes to find ways to cure me back to health.

Parents are the easiest to be taken for granted 'cos they are always there and they do everything for us. But they are the ones you must appreciate most as the day will come when you will regret if you did not spend more time with them. This Chinese New Year, give your parents the best gift: your presence.
