Heart of Emotions

Dwells of it Happiness,
Comes sink as its sadness,
Obsession has it of all madness,
Upon the heart all has it possesses.

Carries smile a bag has,
An arm of warmth,
Stars fell from appears Heaven,
Done it has again for smile at heart.

"O beloved, above the very soul,
Come the words of heart.
Hear must for lies carcassed,
Wish not the falling star has yet a wish.
Forgive for love of wondrous beauty,
Before all has yet to begin."

Night of Stars

Falls of Night in the wonder’s,
Runs the field of Darkness,
There lids valley of candle,
Hills covered in cold breeze.

Sway of grasses night swiftly sings,
Scented-flowers deep in dreams,
A life lives yet in night,
River of diamonds beneath.

Beliefs of wishes made upon,
Hands of prayers with hope,
Made beautiful as they as,
Be gone will then darkness.

Touch of Smile

In paths along with joy,
Happiness fall onto the wander,
Brightly across shown that comes and done,
Treasure within yet possesses by.

Fires of cannon roared has,
Roars of terror fill,
Yet kills all in its power,
Was a touch forgot never.

Love of its know kindness,
Melt in all where Heart fills,
Burn never in the coldness of dark,
Yet truly the origin of its.

An Ocean of Freedom

Freely across comes nature’s flow,
One yet not reaches its way,
Depend in hand of lives,
Come cries of freedom in nature.

Depth of valley hides freedom
The lost found has yet to be,
Flow of water swims freedom calls,
Old never has in ages,
Eternity for it is.

Time

Tick...tick...tick! Yes, I hear it ticks. I hear the very movement of the gears and dials of the ticks. Yes, it never stops and goes forward it shall, as it will forever. Started counting I have, yet tick never it will stop. The clock's madness is the fundamental time of mankind.

Time, itself, was once the non-existence of all. Then came the creation of Time by mankind whom assumed indication and coordination ours lives. Yes, creation, it was the innovation of invention from the brilliant mind that designated paths beneath the walkings.

From the very navigation of the dawn and dusk of the sun, then the lovely night sky with the moon, then came the creation of hourglass and sundial. At last, the numbers that point the value of time along with 12 numbers and 2 dials, and perhaps an oscillator to represent older clocks of time swinging in the motion of pendulum.

Yes, time. May I ask what time would it be in a moment? Indicate me or show me for I do not know time. Yes, inform me you shall for I have the time to listen. As time was once the creation of mankind and hence lies in the very hands of mankind. Yes, time in the very palm of mine yet I did not know.

Like many, time is the essence of future when time has no longer become an object but a drive towards mankind. Take a minute for a breath while the clock ticks every single second forward or clockwise as I should say. Claimed as many have, the inadequate of time, very interesting. The man itself who claim time is never enough has become the slave of time where time was once in the hand of its master has now taken over the rest of its kind. No time? Or it is You whom does not have a friend in time.

Yes, friend of time, love time for it was the creation of mankind. And be no slave for time, yet a friend of time. Along, you shall be with time forever when the existence of both, time and human, are in one piece. Time, indeed, the measurement recognized by the human eyes and brains of all created and lived the existence of time.

Tick, tick, tick...your time is running. Well, it is just Time.

Guy Fawkes

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I see no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
To blow up the King and Parli'ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's overthrow;
By God's providence he was catch'd
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!

By Guy Fawkes, 5th November 1605.

Love of Heart

In this place called Earth,
People define Love in many ways,
Love as they said is Blind.
What matter is what a person have in their heart,
And not for how he or she looks like,
Or perform in Life.

People define love as the feeling they got for each other,
Which makes two person starts a new love life together.
People also define Love as part of Life,
Where someone has entered,
And everything seems so much better when both are together.
Love is what makes the world goes round.

By Melanie Chin

Lost

I am Lost,
Blind it has,
A way Neither shown nor path,
Where I asked.

Lead me says Him,
Bring me says I,
Show me says Her,
Take me says Thou.

Dark it is,
Light there was,
Must thee Find,
A path thou knew.

Ignorance neither thee shall,
Nor it Has upon thy path,
Bring it to thy heart,
Then shall Lost never.

By Jack Ho

Love Story

Story, story that tells a tale,
A tale of Love where I shall tell,
Neither my tale nor Hers has a tale,
Yet Love Story may be a tale.

A heart falls into a well,
Then a Tale compromises Both,
Seem little Did I know a tale,
Then along it came a Fairy Tale.

Words of Tale has its Way,
Love of Words made its Way,
Yet words of Both had its Way,
Hence both Love & Words created its way.

Far across there lies a Tale,
Hidden it is within a Tale,
Find a tale that Tells,
Where Both lives within.

Roses of Love,
Hearts of Love,
Smile of Love,
And Happiness of Love Story.

MASA Gala Dinner 2008

MASA was having a poolside dinner last night. It was fun, as they have not organised for the past 2 years so it was great to have it again. All the swimmers came and some parents as well. I was supposed to go running in the stadium for my traning but then I decided to skip it. Jill wanted to run as well but in the end I pulled it off so she was upset she couldn't run. I was snapping pictures of the kids while they were having the games in the pool. It was really funny because everybody looked like a school of fish.

It was a great night, my brother Ben had fun with his friends and I really felt relax from the tough morning ride I had. After all, it was a beautiful evening.

Portraits of Happy-Go-Funny

I have been camwhoring lately, somehow I was driven to do so by Melanie a.k.a Crazyheart. But it's been really fun because I have not done it for a long time, and I really enjoyed it. So here are some of the pictures.

Jacque Yvez

Melanie is fun, she's very cheerful and it's been really nice to have known here. But she can really take better pictures than I do, she's funny and also what she claimed "happy-go-funny" rather than happy-go-lucky. But after all, she's really a great person.

Inspiration

Sometimes, I feel like there is nothing else in this world for me as I feel enough is enough. Constantly, I do tell myself that I was delivered into this world for a purpose and not just reasons. And to define that purpose, it is just up to myself.

I've carried a passion in my heart all along, and it was never easy. There tough times in my life where I couldn't see the point of living it anymore. Then, there were also times where I felt the end is near and I shall live life to the fullest.

Triathlon has always been part of me, or perhaps it is me. It is the lifestyle that I have lived with for years which I can't see to give up or live without, it seems like I'm stuck to it and unable to let go. But after all, it is me who doesn't wanna let go because that is what I want in my life and my passion.

Training has never been easy, it is always tough because nothing comes easily. There were training sessions where I felt I couldn't move at all, and there were also times where I wished I could just sleep in. But then, training was to build me up and improve me to be better. For all the sufferings and tough times in training, I've always felt worth it because at the end of the very day I realise I have achieve something wonderful in my life.

Mentally, I feel exhausted most of the time. Sometimes my brain tells me I need a rest, then my heart tells me I can do it. I always left myself in dilema where I couldn't make a decision but then I stick to one thing that I would always remember, the Inspirations. Wise words from people I look up to, which I respect, and which I feel I am just like them living a passion.

James Stewart

I'm inspired by these quotes, they have reminded me of who I am and where I came, and most of all what I do best. Life may seems very difficult sometimes, but as long as what it takes to overcome the obstacles is by yourself there is no mountain too high to be reached.

The pain, the struggle, the suffering, I've been there and still going through it. Why am I still do it? Triathlon is not just a life, it is what I do best and that what it is in me.
