That's Where You Find Love by Westlife

In your eyes, I found the greatest prize
You and I could not be closer
And in your arms, is everything I want
Now I know my search is over

and I don't know where you take me
But it's exactly where I wanna be

[Chorus:]
It's where the stars line up
It's where the ocean starts
It's in a place I've never been that feels like home
It's in the air right now
It's when you give your all, and give a little more
I've never been so sure, that's where you find love

People pass, and listen to us laugh
Wishing that they had the same thing
And our friends they ask, how we made it last
I just smile and say the same thing

I'm not sure how we got here
Baby I'm just glad that we got here

[Chorus:]
It's where the stars line up
It's where the ocean starts
It's in a place I've never been that feels like home
It's in the air right now
It's when you give your all, and give a little more
I've never been so sure, that's where you find love
That's where you find love

It's where the stars line up
It's where the ocean starts
It's in the place and everything that feels like home

It's in the air right now
It's when you give your all, and give a little more
I've never been this sure, that's where you find love

Find love
That's where you find love

Father's Day

Well it is the time of the year where we thank our dad's for all their hard work in raising us from a little baby to what we are now. Overall, this is the day that we muster up our creativity and courage to do stuff or plan things that we don't usually do. Even if it is not much. As long the sincerity is there, it is better than not doing anything to show your appreciation at all.

I don't know if it is counted as a father's day dinner as there might be another dinner tonight but the family had dinner at Lotus Court Restaurant in Mega Hotel last night. Food was okay but not what i would say superb. Can't blame them since they had a few functions going on at the same time.

So here are pictures of 2 dishes that i thought would be worth trying. BUT i forgot the names of those dishes..... anyways, enjoy the pictures.

Chicken! Bottom part is fried with some sort of black pepper sauce but the flavor is just right. Not too heavy on the black pepper. Top part is also chicken but some kind of cold dish. (The cold dish chicken is awesome)

Fish, green "Siakap" i think. Fresh water fish. Sauce just right and the fish is FRESH!

Mossop's Manuka Honey

Have you ever came across this product? I was talking to one of my dad's friends and he introduced to me this product. According to him it has a lot of anti-bacterial effects.

The glucose-oxidase enzyme in honey which is introduced by the bee to the honey, slowly releases the antiseptic "hydrogen peroxide" at a level where it is effective against bacteria but it will not damage tissues.


You may think that you can get hydrogen peroxide in any type of honey since it is introduced by the bee into the honey but hydrogen peroxide content varies from honey to honey and it is the first factor that made honey effective as a wound dressing until it was replaced by antibiotics today.

Further research done by Dr Peter Molan showed and led to the discovery that some honeys, especially Manuka honeys have another property that takes over when the hydrogen-peroxide stops working. Thus, giving it additional anti-bacterial inhibiting abilities which makes the honey more stable as a wound treatment.


This additional factor is known as the Unique Manuka Factor or UMF that separates table Manuka honey from Active Manuka Honey as it has a twin-action, anti-bacterial property which works even with the dilution of body fluids.

All the research done regarding Manuka honey is done by Dr Peter Molan of the University of Waikato, New Zealand.


How it works: Honey has a large variety of amino acids and vitamins and high osmolarity, so using honey causes an outflow of lymph and thus is ideal for nourishing the skin tissue and helps lift dirt and debris from the wound. Its natural moistness ensures that any dressings used do not stick to the wound, speeds healing and minimizes scarring. The anti-bacterial properties inhibit the growth of bacteria and thus speeds healing also.

Further information on the antibacterial properties of Active Manuka Honey and the Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) can be obtained by visiting the University of Waikato Website.

Currently the only person that i know which is selling this Manuka Honey with a UMF strength percentage of 20+ as seen in the pictures above, is my dad's friend at RM 85 per 250 g bottle. I will update his contact information once i get it from him personally.

Fresh New Start

Friday the 13th !! Some say this is a super unlucky day but i think otherwise. It is correct that sometimes superstitions may be true, but what matters most is do you have faith in yourself and in god. I made a drastic decision today. Wouldn't really say it drastic but to me, it is. I changed my hair style.... which i loved so much.. but then i was sick of the old hairstyle so decided it is time for a change and maybe, it is time for a fresh new start and a start of a new chapter in my life.

I've heard of a suggestion of picture blogging from someone a while back so maybe from now on, my blogs are going to be full of pictures :D

So for today, i'll start with pictures of me camwhore-ing hehe. Please do give feedback be it good or not all are welcomed.

heheheh, it is nothing special and no i am not handsome but i really enjoy taking pictures of myself. Long live photography!!! Heheheh i think i'm really poisoned already. Going to get a DSLR soon!

Feelings & emotions. What are they?

"I still have feelings for her, but I don't love her anymore."

"It just feels so right to be together."

"I just can't bear the pain and anger anymore, I've got to get away from him."

"Our marriage is over - I just don't feel the same way about her anymore."

These are the normal phrases that we come across when dealing with someone who has problems with their relationship or are confused with what they are feeling. Emotions or feelings are one of the things that we use to measure life. For example, if we feel happy then where ever we are, whenever we are we'll think that it is a good and healthy place to be. But if we are unhappy, we do things that we aren't supposed to do. This is dangerous as letting feelings take over usually overrides any values of common sense that we have.

So, what exactly are feelings? From a perspective view, they are what we call the emotions that rise up in us in reaction to events that happen around us. For instance, we can feel can feel happy, sad, excited, bored, anxious, embarrassed, miserable and many more feelings that are mostly indescribable by words.

Feelings are not thoughts arising from the mind but it is the sensation coming straight from one's heart. When one says "I feel that you should not do that" he or she is merely expressing his or her opinion and not his or her feelings.

So logically, everyone have feelings but why in some certain environments, occasions or levels of the society some people think that they do not have any feelings. This is common especially among men and certain women. Have you heard of the phrase "Boys don't cry" ? Well, this portrays exactly why these certain people think that they do not have any feelings. But i know in some countries, men are the ones who cry the most if compared to women. Can you guess which country is that?

What i am trying to say is, everyone has emotions. It is just that some of us, push them down or even out of the way. Sometimes, even you or me do this to ourselves and we will think that we're unemotional or emotionless but in truth, it actually means that we are merely not acknowledging those emotion or not expressing them. Not meaning that the emotions are not there.

Simply put, feelings are the way we respond to what happens to us and around us. It is a sign of what is going on inside you. It is even unique as no other person on earth is quite like you thus no other person on earth has the same set of feelings that you have.

We can't control feelings or make feelings go away. For example, have you ever tried making yourself feel happy when you are sad or miserable? It can not be done can it? Even if it is possible, it will not be that easy.

Sometimes i feel as if i live my life based on my emotions and feelings. I do what i like and i do it when i feel like i want to do it. When i don't i do not even bother about it. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Should i change or should i just be who i am?

I do not feel proud with the way i live my life. Even if i am only so young. In the same time, i am not satisfied with how i live my life but i do not know how i should change my life or what should i change my life into.

Goodbye by Janice Wei Lan

Once again, i came across one song that suits my mood right now. Just want to share. Hope all of you like it.

Goodbye by Janice Wei Lan

I can see the pain living in your eyes
And I know how hard you try
You deserve to have so much more
I can feel your heart and I sympathize
And I'll never criticize all you've ever meant to my life

[Chorus:]
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want to hold you back
From where you might belong
You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but good-bye

You deserve the chance at the kind of love
I'm not sure I'm worthy of
Losing you is painful to me

Repeat [Chorus:]

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to try
Though it's gonna hurt us both
There's no other way than to say good-bye.

To Love Or Be Loved

"What is better? To love or be loved?" Usually we prefer to believe that we have sufficient capacity to combine the two in such a manner that we may truly feel love. A person gives more than the other. It’s a clear fact and it’s present in every situation and it can’t be dismissed.

Without realizing how we really feel, we let ourselves get carried away by time, acting spontaneous, without having time to differentiate good from bad.

We don’t ask ourselves an essential question:" What is better? To love or be loved? "We’d prefer to believe that we have sufficient capacity to combine the two in such a manner that we may truly feel love.

A person gives more than the other. It’s a clear fact and it’s present in every situation and it can’t be dismissed. The reciprocity that we always wish for is actually a false reciprocity. A relationship always consists of two persons, from which, one always gives more that the other. One person is more flexible, gives in more often, is willing to make compromise, while the other strives to always be right, and tries to impose a certain rhythm into the relationship, not from pride but just because she/he thinks it’s best that way.

However, sometimes, because we really wish that everything would go smoothly, we forget to contradict, to lay out our opinion in the open, to be our own self and we become someone totally unrecognizable.

Moreover, love does not consist of changing someone so that they may fit our perfect picture, but finding someone that already fits our personality and our requests. We choose to love rather than be loved, because we know how it feels not to be loved and what's more, we have within ourselves the desire to be loved!

Sometimes, we love more than we should, or we exaggerate in expressing our feelings. Why are we more conscious and why do we think more about the well-being of others and choose to suffer?

Even if the apparent solution is letting ourselves be loved, I don’t think we could live with ourselves or with the thought that our partner is not appreciated as he or she should be. It hurts us when our partner suffers. We love, maybe more than we should.

We love so we can live life to the maximum. We love holding the hope of real happiness in our hearts. We love and we’re not sorry for it. Love is not jealous, love is not envious, love does not cause pain, and love is pure.

There should be no room for selfishness in a relationship, neither room for playing with each other` s feelings. We hurt each other in the most dim-witted ways possible. Sometimes we’re not careful with the one next to us and that can be tragic, because an upsetting thing, once said, cannot be taken back and that leaves marks.

If we’d love each other the way we’re suppose to, most of our problems would instantly melt. Love comes tied to trust, kindness, pleasant character and some other important things. These together could make a great difference worldwide. But it’s hard to get past our own selfishness and forgetting about our personal needs, to caring for the needs of others.

Even in romantic relationships we don’t always give what’s best for our partner. It is wrong, yet, we still tend to do it. These kind of things need to change, because without love, nothing would be the same.

We should choose to love over being loved. It is not easy, but if we all did it, we would be giving and receiving at the same time.

Let’s look at what the Bible has to say about love. This applies to every type or relationship: "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.
Love never fails!

However, where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child; I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
