Random Update

Another warm afternoon and I wonder when these warm days are going to over. I miss the air-conditioner in my room, although it was not working too well. Today is Saturday, August 29. My one-month vacation is going to over soon, very soon. I am now sitting in front of my laptop trying to write something with the loud music on. I finally get myself a pair of speakers. I have thought of getting one for long time but since it was not the priority, I always delayed. Thanks to my brother for getting himself a new, over hundred Ringgit Malaysia speakers in the PC fair in Melaka and then “inspired” me to get one for myself, with a very good deal.

My hobbies used to be listening to music and reading book. I still enjoy listening to music but seldom read lately. I realized I am too occupied by activities such as surfing net and wasting time watching dramas and some other entertaining programs. I know I should cut down but I am not too good in self-discipline. I am trying though ;)

I have been surrounded by people when I was home. I was busying helping people with their issues, seeing my friends that I missed a lot and of course, accompanying my beloved family members and the adorable doggie. Today I am totally free, until I am not sure how can I use the time effectively. I have been experiencing jet lag since I landed in US. I slept around 1-2am and woke up at 5.30am these days. That makes me have plenty of time since I do not sleep that much. Therefore, I decided to write something.

Time has been a luxury thing for me to waste lately. It is just like a 5-year-old kid holding 1 million dollar and does not know what to do with the money. My situation is more or less the same. The difference is I do not have 1 million dollar but free time. My busy life and tight schedule make me almost forgot how to enjoy the free time that I got. The feeling of knowing that I do not have anything to do and any plan later is kind of good. However, this “luxury” can only be continued for a day or two. I would not allow myself have nothing to do for more than a day.

I have nothing to complain in my life lately. In fact, I am having good time. As of now, I am sitting in my comfy room, with the nice music on from the brand new speakers, enjoying the alone space (cause nobody’s home and I can turn on the music as loud as I want, muahahaha…), enjoying the beautiful flowers right in front of me and peaceful time. The only set back is the hot weather. Thank God for the new fan that I bought not long ago. It works well and does reduce the temperature in the room a little.

A friend of mine asked me on Facebook, “Are you going to show any pictures from Malaysia?”
Well, sorry girl. I am not a big fan of photographing. I never was. I used to take a lot of pictures when I first arrived in US, knowing that I was going back a year later. I took my camera with me everywhere I went and took as many pictures as possible. I was thinking, “Since I am only going to be in this country for a year, why not collect as many memories as possible?” After I made up my mind to stay longer to further my study, I kept my camera and hardly use it. Even I brought it with me to certain places nowadays, I do not even care to take it out and snap. When I looked back to my previous blog articles, I saw I uploaded quite a number of photos last time.

There are couple reasons I do not like to take pictures. I do not mind to have a camera person to take my photo (^_^) but I do not like to be that camera person. First of all, I like to enjoy the scenery without the need to worry about taking care of valuable things, such as camera. Second, although my camera is small and handy but it still carries some weight if I put it in my purse. Therefore, why bother? And I then realized, by not concentrating shooting here and there, I can enjoy the scenery much better. Of course, the set back is I do not have much photos as souvenirs after came back from the places. When I grow older and the memories faded, I might have nothing left. Life can’t be perfect, isn’t it? Still, I prefer not to take camera with me when I go out and have fun.

Let me talk a little bit about the background song that I just chose. This song named “No Boundaries” by Adam Lambert. There is another version by Kris Allen. I love the version by Adam Lambert better. Both of them have good vocal but Adam Lambert’s version really give me the feeling, the “oomph”. Listen to his version, I can really “feel” the message that he wanted to send: Life has no boundaries!

I hope you will enjoy the song as much as I do. Please take some time to read the lyrics. I do not like a song without a reason :-)


No Boundaries

Seconds hours so many days
You know what you want but how long can you wait
Every moment last forever
Then you feel you’ve lost your way

And what if my chances are already gone
I started believing that I could be wrong
But you gave me one good reason
To fight and never walk away

So here I am — still holding on!

With every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe it's harder to believe
You’ll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing

Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you almost gave up on your dreams
Then take it by the hand and show you that you can
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries

I've fought 'til the limit to stand on the edge
What if today is as good as it gets
Don’t know where the future’s heading
But nothing's gonna bring me down

I've jumped every bridge
I've run every line
I've risked being safe
I always knew why
I always knew why

So here I am still holding on

With every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe
You’ll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing

Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you almost gave up on your dreams
Then take it by the hand and show you that you can

You can go higher
You can go deeper
There are no boundaries
Above and beneath you
Break every rule coz
There’s nothing between you and your dreams

With every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe
You’ll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing

Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you almost gave up everything
Then take it by the hand and show you that you can

There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries

I would like to dedicate this song to those dreams pursuers like me! I believe the lyrics itself is clear enough sending the motivation messege and do not need any further explanation. I like to turn on this music loud and sing (perhaps shout?) with Adam Lambert. It either make my feeling become better or pull me out from a dark hole. Try it sometimes, it might work well for you too ;-)
