It is that pain that tells and keeps us alive .
Instead ,
Wish for a heart that has the strength and courage to brave through
the darker days ,
The power to forgive and forget ,
And the will to love again .

Yes , this has been a very eventful week for not only I am rejoicing the end of my final examination , but at the same time reminiscing tales of my life and what could have been .
Tales , everyone around me assume long forgotten but truth be told , it still remains as a small but illuminating fragment that will shine on as my memory goes on and on and finally deteriorates .
Not only about the things that have happened but also the things that could have happened if I had been brave enough .
Those were the days I use to question God and ask why was I put through all of this misery ? Have I done something that God has taken offense and now I am repaying for my sins ?
No .
It is not that God has placed some sort of curse on me . He simply enlightened me on how things in this world actually work and not that of how I use to picture life is .
Personally , I do not regret about the events that take place in my life as I consider them a gift rather than a curse .
It is because of these events both small and big , happy and sad , disappointing and frustrating , isolation and love that has made me the man I am today ; a person who I confidently can say has been through enough experience to understand the ways of this world works at a very tender age .
In other words , I matured at an early age .
Today , I am blessed with great friends who surround me like a castle wall , shelters me under their wings and cares like angels of the sky .
And it is a daily habit for me to stare into blank space from time to time and wonder if my life would be this gifted and special if I have not gone through those experiences .
Long ago , I have come to accept the fact that I will never possess the criteria of a wealthy , good-looking or popular guy . I even have come to terms that I might not be able to find love in this life and it's okay with me .
Because I certainly do not need fame and fortune to be happy . I do not need them to mask who I really am .
I have learned to accept myself the way I really am and if there is anyone who have a problem with that well then , to-the-loo .
In a way , I thank God that my eventful past has gone by and is now behind me . It gives me food for thought every now and then but now , I thank Him for the wonderful life I have right now .
Life could not get any better than this .
No ? Well then , does the name Zachary Levi ring a bell ?
And what does this two celebrity have in common ? I mean , one's a great singer who even sang with the legendary Andrea Bocelli once and the other is an actor of the famous spy-comedy series , "Chuck " .
So .. why am I ranting about them ?
Well , that's because apparently they made a song together .
Yes , Katherine McPhee and Zachary Levi sang a duet together and now it's one of the most listened-to song there is .
The song's called '' Terrified '' and it's a song by American Idol judge , Kara DioGuardi .
If you already know about this song , skip to the next video .
For those who haven't , you can start off by listening to this .
Now , it's pretty hard to believe that Zachary Levi can sing right ?
I mean , he played a really good role as a cowardly mediocre spy that couldn't save anyone's ass even if the entire fate of the world depended on him .
So , here's the video of Katherine and Zachary recording this song .
You have to watch this to believe that our nerd-friend , Zachary can actually sing !
Enjoy ~
Who'd knew , huh ?
Definitely not me ...
I know I'm a little slow on the news but here it goes anyways ...
Mother of Tennis , Kim Clijsters ,downs World Number One Caroline Wozniacki
to win Doha finals !
A day after escaping unscathed from a fender-bender , Clijsters defeated Wozniacki 6-3 , 5-7 , 6-3 for her third WTA Championships title .
Clijsters , sidelined because of an infected foot , played in her first tournament since winning the U.S. Open in September and improved to 6-0 in finals since coming out of retirement midway through 2009 .
On Saturday , she defeated Samantha Stosur of Australia in the semifinals hours after a truck hit the right-front door of her courtesy car .
I knew Clijsters would not disappoint me .
See Caroline ?
You can't win them all . Not especially against the mother of all tennis .
In other news , 29 year old Russian Elena Dementieva called it quits and retired even after she earned a spot in the quarter-finals of the Doha tournament .
Time to call it a day The 29-year-old Russian delivered the shock news after losing to Francesca Schiavone in the group stages of the season-ending tournament .
Dementieva reached two Grand Slam finals during her career , at the French Open and the US Open in 2004 .
" This is my last tournament , "
she told the Doha crowd .
Hard to say goodbye
Dementieva was joined on court by her fellow competitors and mother and coach Vera , who has travelled for many years with her daughter .
US Open champion Kim Clijsters paid tribute to Dementieva , saying :
"She has been one of the players I grew up with playing in juniors .
It's nice to see her looking forward to
something new in her life .
She has been one of the most professional players ,
one of the nicest girls on the court . "
Dementieva enjoyed her greatest success at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where she beat Serena Williams , Vera Zvonareva and Dinara Safina on her way to the gold meda .
She won 16 singles titles during her 12-year career on the WTA Tour and six in doubles, earning almost £9m in prize money .
Born and raised in Moscow , Dementieva was a key figure as Russian players became a powerful force , in the women's game especially, during the last decade .
A younger Dementieva
Her first Grand Slam final at Roland Garros in 2004 was also the first ever all-Russian final at a major , but Dementieva lost to Anastasia Myskina as her serve let her down - something that would become an unwelcome feature of her game .
Boy , I'm gonna' miss her grunts on court .
Salute to Elena ~
Just wanna wish my good friend , Cedric Tan , a warm and happy welcome back to civilization . Hope you still have your sanity in check and everything will be just fine . Haha .
I also wanna' wish my dear friend Jasmine Khoo , a speedy recovery !
Nothing stays bad for long .
Okay now , I'll just take my leave and leave you to your thoughts .
Good night and have a great holiday ~
