you are the only thing Real

What is real? How do you define real? If you mean what we can taste, smell, hear and feel then what's "real" is nothing more than electrical signals interpreted by your brain.

~ Morpheus, The Matrix



If what is real is what we see, taste, smell, hear and feel then is real only us interpreting signals? Life is more than all that our senses feel and what our brain tells us. Life is more beautiful than that. If not, how do we know that others love us even when they are not around to show it? Or why does my heart becomes warm when I know that she's near and melts when she appears and walks into a room? Or why does everything simply blurs all of a sudden when she looks right at me? And I still can't explain how I stop breathing when she turns from just looking at me to smiling. Then the heart suddenly stops and the head spins and the world is perfect.

In truth, emotions and feelings do not last, or rather more accurately, they do not last without you doing anything. That is why humans are never contented. It's the same with love. For a silly lamb to make a lion fall and stay in love forever and ever with his silliness, it never ends. It's always about never being contented that you have won her heart for the day because once you've won her heart, you need to work many times more everyday to ensure that you treasure that heart that you have been trusted with. It's about always being there for her to love her and cherish her. If I've learned one thing, that's to always, always be everything she needs, her bodyguard, her shoulder when she wants to snuggle (still a cushion not yet a pillow), her chauffeur, her handyman, her insect killer, her partner in crime when she wants to do something evil, her consultant, her companion to talk to and everything more.

The question is not about how many roles do I need to play for her but how much can I be with her. She asks me why do I still write for her. Because simply because she's my reason, she's all my reasons. Today she's smiling and I can't help smiling too. She makes me fall in love all over again more and more each passing day. I wish that I did not feel sad about her needing more time if she makes it and earns the ensemble role as a venus fly trap. But if I did not care about the time spent with her, doesn't that mean I don't really care about her? She does not see how much she means to me. That every second I spend with her, I treasure.

What is real is that I do care about her and how much she smiles. Typing this, I'm thinking about her and tonight. I'm praying that she makes it so all fingers crossed although theres a little place in my heart that asks why I feel sad at the same time. Hope she's not that nervous later and she haves fun. That much is true. The truth of the matter is that she has my undivided support, so live life baby and I'm living mine too with you. What is also real is that I love her and I will say it again and again as long as she keeps smiling and holds my hand. Because I really do see how much she loves me too in her eyes and what is more real is that I too see forever looking back at me. And my heart stops and my head spins and the world is perfect.

PS. Bie, you are all my reasons. I love you. Today you're not in that audition alone, I'm rite here with you.

What is beautiful

Perhaps it is good to have a beautiful mind, but an even greater gift is to discover a beautiful heart.

~ A Beautiful Mind



She wants to live life. And the conclusion is that I too simply want to live life with her. Writing this down, I know she will not read this again today and I really do not know when she will. But when she does, I hope what she sees is that she's the only thing that matters to me. That she's the only thing that I always see. She told me yesterday to find something that I will be passionate about in life and something that interests me. I was so tempted to tell her that I have found mine and I am contented with that one thing for life, her. She's got her heart in many places but I have mine in one, its always her. She's my reason, she's all my reasons and the wonder of it all is she does not really know how much I love her.

Life is simple. At times when I am lost, there is only one way to find my direction and that way is to go back to the start. When I am lost, I simply remind myself to back to the basics and remember why do I love her and everything becomes so clear.

Today she's smiling again and that is all I can ask for. She's beautiful today again. It's not her makeup that makes her beautiful although she believes so, it's always her smile. She's beautiful because she can't stop making me smile. She's anxious about whether or not she will get the role. I'm confident that she will, simply because she is that gracious and expressive enough to earn her chance. And simply because if she doesn't get this, she will try again. All I can do is watch her be happy and be happy for her. I truly am happy for her at her finally living her life. Because I too truly am living mine.

It's been a while since I last heard this song but guess it's appropriate for her right now.

你愛我像誰
我什麼都沒有
只是有一點吵
如果你感到寂寞
我帶給你熱鬧
為你繞一繞
沒有什麼大不了
卻可以讓你微笑
其實我很煩惱
只是你看不到
如果我也不開心
怕(而)你轉身就逃

愛上一個人
一定要讓他相信
這世界多麼美好
對每個人
都說還好
我的心我的情你不需要明瞭
只要我對你好
這樣的溫柔你要不要

其實你愛我像誰
扮演什麼角色我都會
快不快樂我無所謂
為了你開心
我忘記了累不累

其實你愛我像誰
任何的表情我都能給
在你身上學會流眼淚

This world is simply beautiful when you are. It suns again when you smile and that's all that matters. Today's beautiful and it's all because of you. You are all my reasons.

PS. Bie, you are all my reasons. I know you won't read this today and both of us do not know when. But when you do, hope you know that you're everything that means anything to me. Love you.

Chrononicles and Curious Cases of McLamb

Daniel: So what's the problem, Sammy-o? Is it just Mum or is it something else? Maybe... school - are you being bullied? Or is it something worse? Can you give me any clues at all?
Sam: You really want to know?
Daniel: I really want to know.
Sam: Even though you won't be able to do anything to help?
Daniel: Even if that's the case, yeah.
Sam: OK. The truth is actually... I'm in love.
Daniel: Sorry?
Sam: I know I should be thinking about Mum all the time, and I am. But the truth is I'm in love and I was before she died, and there's nothing I can do about it.
Daniel: Aren't you a bit young to be in love?
Sam: No.
Daniel: Oh, OK, right. Well, I'm a little relieved.
Sam: Why?
Daniel: Well, you know - I thought it might be something worse.
Sam: [incredulous] Worse than the total agony of being in love?
Daniel: Oh. No, you're right. Yeah, total agony.



The case file has become more curious and strange as the days go by. The silly lion and lamb seem to be acting all the more weird with time. Today she smiled more than previous days and she seems to be really trying. The lamb on the other hand seems lost at what to do. They parted ways and she went off. After the last encounter tailing the lion, I knew better that it would be a complete waste of time to actually follow her again. It was rather simple actually to follow the lamb instead.

He drove rather aimlessly and barely noticed as I jumped on board his car. The weather was fine today for spying and I'm rather pleased having to hide in the boot that it was finally clean except for some trails of mud and grass. This is another mystery that needs solving but not as important as trying to spy on the more vulnerable lamb. Will send samples of the grass and mud for HQ investigations later on. I had my ears as close as I could and it was only a few minutes before the lamb started on the phone.

How curious indeed that lamb was contacting the lion. Were they operating on a separate mission but working together to ensure their success? The lamb seemed more happy than yesterday and I found his conversation rather stupid and beating round and round the bush. It seemed that all he was doing was really finding an excuse just to hang on the phone with the lion. Was this some code that I need to crack? He mentioned funny stuff in between putting down the phone about just saying things just to hear her breathe. He was happier yes but still sad which I find it hard to understand.

He mumbled things about how hard it was for her that she was trying and he appreciated everything that she did. I nearly caught a tear but it was just a flash of the light. He said what was most important was to take things one day at a time and to just live life loving. Were they planning some coordinated attack on the public now and they just had to be patient and wait for their time? He said something that it's hard to remember happy memories so the only cure is to make happier ones day by day. The lion and lamb relationship seem to be getting odd and I just can't figure it out. On the overall, it was a good day it seemed to the silly lamb and I could gather no more information. Writing this reports without getting caught seems to be getting more hard and weirder by the moment. Hoping to find more clues soon.

McLamb

a new chapter

Death can not stop true love, it can only delay it for a little while.

~ The Princess Bride



Life's as real as the feelings that you feel. I never saw a new chapter coming. I never did think that it would be today. The only thing certain from now on I guess is that it will always be uncertain. I write this down today to remind myself on the gloomiest of days that this is the start and that no matter what I love her. I wish I could buy her trust but the greatest things are always the most difficult. Things that last forever do not come easy. She didn't sleep last night, looking at me, breathing me in, feeling me, just being with me. If she could smile last night, then I will always make her smile.

I walked to her place today, holding her charger and holding back tears. It's difficult to love someone who hates you and cries when they look at you or be near you. But it's okay because I have to believe that I'm going to make her happy forever and ever. She told me that the lion is afraid of continuously biting the lamb and that it would be 'better' and 'easier' for the lamb and lion to go their separate ways. Still don't understand why she thinks giving up forever and ever would be better than facing it together.

She asked me how do we face this together when she can't even stand me. Time and love heals all things. It makes things new and makes it stronger. You just have to believe. Me? As for me, I just need to always be by her side. When she tells me to run, I stay there bite her leg refusing to let go and just be with her. It hurts her and it hurts me but her sadness will go away. Because I can and I will make it go away. It doesn't matter how many times. She's afraid I will get tired and it will eventually become no more forever and ever. I'm here to remind her over and over again that there will always be a forever and ever.

She told me once that I'm the only person capable of making her smile and cry this way. I believe that to be true just not this way. I never thought that I would make her cry just by being around. If I can make her smile too, does this mean I'm torturing her? I am not nor do I plan to. This new chapter will not die a slow death but it will definitely make her believe that anything is possible in love. I need to be strong for both of us. For as long as it takes.

Perfection does not come easy. It's not easy to love someone perfect. No matter how many bites from a lion, her love will always heal a lamb. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow, she'll smile for me or most probably she'll cry but another thing for certain is that I will always love her.

PS. Bie, I don't know if you will even read this but you need to know that nothing in this life will separate us. Hold my hand. It's never going to end.

sleepy wednesdays and the most beautiful girl in the world

Pierre Dulaine: Do you love to dance?
Caitlin: Yeah
Pierre Dulaine: Then you’re made to dance



You just asked me what I was doing and I cheekily answered that I could not tell you. If I did, I could never write this post as it should be with you knowing while I write. If this blog post I write today means nothing to you then I wrote it for the wrong person. Its the day caught in between of this week and I'm actually wondering why I woke up for. I told you all I want to do is sleep, which yes is true but not entirely true. What I really want to do is to just hug you and close my eyes and let time take me away.

But what I really want to write about is this. I have a picture in my mind. In this picture, I can't imagine you smiling right now so I'm writing you a list. This list has a few things that you should be thinking of on days like yesterday, on days that a smile is hard to come by and when I seem far away.

1. If you held up 11 of those flowers I made for you while you were away in Tianjin and stood in front of the mirror, baby, you're looking at 12 of the most beautiful flowers that the world has ever seen. And the problem is that its not about your makeup that makes you beautiful but its simply the way you smile so smile for me. So smile for me every single second that you can.

2. They say that a picture paints a thousand words but when I think of you I think of only three; I Love You. Don't really know about a thousand words but for us, these three words should be enough. I'm right by your side bie and thats the only way it should be so when you're sad, I can't find a reason to smile.

3. I once sent an angel to look over you at night. The angel came back a minute later and I asked it why. It told me, "Angels don't watch other angels." Baby, you always say that I'm your angel but in all reality, you're mine. I know that its hard to be always happy, but at least don't feel sad because I can't be by your side to protect you and it hurts.

4. Last night I looked up to the stars and tried to match each one with reasons why I loved you. I remember you reading to me one by one what you like and love about me. And you went on and on. And like those stars, they were not enough to describe even why I liked you not to mention why I love you. Theres plenty of reason to be unhappy but let this one reason of I will always love you be the only reason you don't need to be unhappy.

5. If Pierre Dulaine tells Caitlin that she's meant to dance, then I need to ask you the same. Do you like to smile? If yes, then you're meant to smile. So smile for me each and every single time you can because I am doing the same for you.

Now, if you had asked me what I was doing. The truth was, I'm trying to love you a lifetime. I wrote that I wanted to make you smile this morning. It starts with a note in the morning, a post in the afternoon, and a love that will last until the end of time. I love you. So smile for me when you read this.

PS. Bie, today you're beautiful and I love you. Its as simple as that and it's going to last a lifetime.

Chrononicles and Curious Cases of McLamb

I wanna tell you a little secret, being the one is just like being in love. No one needs to tell you you are in love, you just know it, through and through.

~ The Orcale, The Matrix



Thursday, 16th July Year of the Cow, Chrononicles and Curious Cases of McLamb

It has been a brutal two days. I have not been back to HQ for days and all communications seems remote. The weather has been horrible and so inviting for more rest. Two nights ago, managed to sneak in under the heavy rain in early morning but was nearly discovered placing a recorder in the Lion's den. McDog was acute and smart enough to create a diversion that the whole house would blame him instead and allow me enough time to sneak into the room next door. Hiding under the bed, I was relieved that McDog was somehow dragged by the Lion into the same room. McDog spent a good few minutes giving me a piece of his mind on how careless I was and that I was too impatient. The only excuse I had to shut him up was that he was making a commotion and was attracting more attention. I recuperated through the day but heard from McDog that the entire den was not pleased at all with the diversion he caused.

The feeling of guilt has not gone away but there is little time to spare as I set up the necessary sneaking aids around the den while it remains empty. I hid in the Lion's car earlier only to find that they were taking the Lamb's which was utter disappointment. Had to settle for eating scraps and leftovers. The plate of bacon and sausages from their cosy breakfast was left untouched and was so tempted but as a trained agent managed to control myself. That Lion sure knows how to cook. Yesterday had little opportunity for action as well with the den being all quiet the entire night. I was furious that all my efforts had gone to waster and had to sabotage the heating system, and the air-con later in the morning just to vent my frustration. At least it caused them a bit of misery and not to mention lack of sleep. I need to get back to HQ. Humans make me nervous and I miss having milk. At least I heard McDog is fed properly with milk. Sigh. These adventures seem to go on.

Was feeling like taking a risk and took the chance to hide in the car before they could get in this morning. Gladly, the Lion spoke and it was the Lion's car that they drove. It was cold this morning too like yesterday and I would have called in sick if I was on office duty but life goes on and a soldier has to be strong. The Lion was gently wrapped in the arms of the Lamb and how I wished I could have an arm around me too :( Tried to overhear anything worth listening but there was nothing recorded and it was a slow ride to the airport grounds. I remember my training jumping off war planes. McDog was equally brilliant in the air. Chuckling softly, I wondered how true could it be that the Lion & Lamb were the main culprits behind all these mysteries.

Pulling to a stop, I noted how the Lamb wanted to hold the Lion's hand but held back and saw how much he was worried about her and wanted to carry her all the way. This Lamb is weak. Must note to take advantage of the Lamb's weaknesses for the Lion in future missions. I tailed behind from a safe distance. Deciding to follow the Lion as the Lion and the Lamb went their ways, I sniffed a lot of tiredness from the Lion. This could be my opportunate moment I thought. The Lion was distraught and busy today. She seems confused and sad at the same time. Realising that no further information could be obtained, I switched targets to the Lamb. The Lamb was a more sad case, constantly sighing wondering what he could do to help the Lion. Always thinking how to make her smile.

Both targets were lost causes so far and my mission seems to be making no headway at all. I managed to find an unoccupied computer and had to key in my findings. Hopefully HQ gets news of this. Reporting over and out until the next journals of the Chronicles.

McLamb still alive

Footnote: The Lamb can not seem to smile at all when the Lion does not. They both seem to feed each other's energy all the time. Have even heard weird rumblings from the Lamb whispering to himself, "Today was beautiful because you are beautiful. And when you do not smile and hide the sun, how can there be sunshine in my life. What can I do to make you smile?". This evil plot is getting more curious by the minute.

Monday, 13th July Year of the Cow, Chrononicles and Curious Cases of McLamb

The hundredth post has come and gone. I'm sitting in a dark corner evading all capture as I put this down on thewrecktan's blog. During the past week, many mysterious sightings have happened. I am recording this as the first of many so that others may gather the clues and come to find the truth. I am writing this as part of the case files of the curious and the strange of our department while on the field.

Just in the past week, multiple agents have been sighted missing and all clues so far have lead to dead ends. We have taken great care to mark the crime scenes and have scrubbed the places clean with the latest technology. The only clues we have are lion and lamb paw prints all over the crime scene. This has equally puzzled all of us who have seen everything over the years of invetigating the curious and the strange. Our agency has dealt with the most mysterious files ever reported and here we were stumped. The only logical way forward was for me to go undercover and sleauth to dig the truth.



Only two days ago, a lion and lamb were spotted excitedly wading around the entire Klang Valley in search of diving gears. Seen prowling from shop to shop, the notorious pair have been known to have already acquired a near full set of diving gear while laughing their way through real bargains. Questions over whether they are known underwater terrorist have been raised back at headquarters. My attempts to follow them was an epic fail as they weaved in and out of traffic on a full day expedition of terror. Have sent signals back to Lamb HQ for more support on this matter after the trail went cold.

And only yesterday, I spent six hours snooping outside the lion's den waiting for another opportunity to sneak up on them. It was a brutal wait until the haze and hot sun. They finally emerged after the sun had long set with to my surprise agent McDog. The skies were dark with little to no stars which was perfect for my needs. I quickly evaded and jumped into a nearby drain as they went by. McDog was on his walk with the couple and I thought the opportunity was ripe to gather more information. I snooped around behind them waiting for agent McDog to be separated from them. Walking past a block, it was evident that the time was right and I slowly whistled to get his attention. McDog was not too surprised to find me around having been briefed by headquarters that I was on the case.

We hustled back to the lion's den to buy us some time while I gathered whatever information possible while the pair frantically searched in the wrong direction. Running off with me, agent McDog had little to share except for the fact that the couple have been having a good time plotting what we fear might be the end. Everything seems to add up to my suspicion. Diving lessons, more diving equipment after a lot of haggling and queer visits in the night with agent McDog. Did they already know McDog was a spy?

The search lights are already turned on, I must leave now and continue to monitor the lion and the lamb. Having run all these years, hiding in the dark to seach for the light has become tiresome. I have sent messages back to HQ and hope they too may provide clues on proceeding next. There are many questions to come and I only hope that I stay alive long enough to see the light and to tie up all loose ends. Signing off on the first entry of the Chronicles.

McLamb

FOOTNOTE. It must be noted that the lamb was transfixed with the lion applying strange powder and chemicals on her face. It was heard from the recording device of the lamb muttering, "People complain about waiting for their partners applying makeup but who would not give up everything to be right here waiting for you finish applying your makeup? People take things for granted but I really treasure this time even now waiting for you to make yourself beautiful for me. I love you". Curious indeed this evil plot.

shall we dance a new chapter that never ends?

Shohei Sugiyama: At my age, it's embarrassing to say so, but every day I feel so alive.

~ Shall We Dance?



Today writing the 100th, I'm taking the post back to its origins from how it first started. 'Shall We Dance?' or rather 'Shall We Dansu?' is a Japanese remake of the same movie which was released in 1996. This international hit made waves around the globe and people started asking who these unknown cast were as Shall We Dansu took the world by surprise. Shall We Dansu is a story of a man with what begins as intrigue by a woman dancing in the window to passion for dancing itself.



This is another story about a guy, who was slightly disillusioned with life and he didn't really bother with what went round him. He stood by the path of life watching, and being dragged along by a pace he chooses to see the world with. Then one day, this angel appeared at his window. He wondered why he never saw her before. Or the question really should be why did he never bother with her before. Maybe the angel never chose to appear before, maybe there was no light to show him the window, or maybe the time was simply not right until it should happen. She was there dancing this beuatiful dance of life, he was captivated and never let go. This is his Vocabulary of Love, sealed in a bottle of his heart, cast into the sea, right out to the lion to whom its meant for.

Angel - an⋅gel/ˈeɪndʒəl/[eyn-juhl] You. That's who you are, the most perfect creature, man will ever see especially when you smile for me and look at me dreamily. You also appear in my dreams and everytime I close my eyes, you are there simply perfect.

Beautiful - beau⋅ti⋅ful/ˈbyutəfəl/[byoo-tuh-fuhl] That's what describes who you are inside out. More than a face, more than just virtues, you are beautiful because you are who you are, simply you.

Cute - cute/kyut/[kyoot] The look you have when you are manja-ing and looking spoilt just the way you should always be, pleasantly pretty and always charming.

Derek - Der⋅ek/ˈdɛrɪk/[der-ik] The name of the guy who watched you at the window of his life and the only name other than your family's that you need to remember all your life should you suddenly have amnesia.

Everything - eve⋅ry⋅thing/ˈɛvriˌθɪŋ/[ev-ree-thing] You're my everything. Everything that I have in me, nothing compares to you. I love you my everything.

Fairytale - fair⋅y/ˈfɛəri/[fair-ee] tale/teɪl/[teyl] The description of what this life of ours will be. Magic in the everyday life of holding your hand and seeing the day everyday together.

Garden - gar⋅den/ˈgɑrdn/[gahr-dn] This where the knot is tied and the most happiest day of our lives will take place. Another use for garden is the fact that you're the most beautiful flower in the garden of my heart. I wanted to use another G - G for game, lets play a love game baby.

Haven and Heaven - ha⋅ven/ˈheɪvən/[hey-vuhn] and heav⋅en/ˈhɛvən/[hev-uhn] You're both my safe place on planet earth and the place of my eternal happiness. That will not change for any other woman, being, or thing any place and any time to come.

Island - is⋅land/ˈaɪlənd/[ahy-luhnd] Everyone can have the world but this love of ours is our island, a safe haven from any storm. On this island, you will find nothing but you and me. It stays afloat for us, a lifetime.

Jerk - jerk/dʒɜrk/[jurk] Its just that this jerk loves you and despite all my foolishness and stupidity at times, I hope you can see that beneath it all, I love you and love makes a man do foolish things.

Kryptonite - You're this kryptonite to this epic fail superman wannabe. If Kryptonite sapped the energy of superman and made him normal, you make me weak in the knees and all melted in the heart just by appearing and make me feel that nothing else matters in this world.

Love - love /lʌv/[luhv] This profound passionate experience more than just an emotion or an affection, its simplified definition is what defines our life to come, our everything. It is dedicating our lives to each other and more. Coincidentally the strongest alphabet in this list as your name also begins with L. And the silly lion lay down with the silly lamb.

Magnet - mag⋅net/ˈmægnɪt/[mag-nit] You are a magnet that pulls me near whenever you are within sight. Just can't let you go for a lifetime now. You've pulled me in too deep.

North - north/nɔrθ/[nawrth] A compass always points north. Since finding you, my life's compass has been pointing to you all the time. Whenever I get lost, all I have to do is turn to you.

Oxygen - ox⋅y⋅gen /ˈɒksɪdʒən/[ok-si-juhn] A human can not breathe for one minute or more depending on personal conditioning else there will be damage to the lungs and a collapse of the body. Of all the needs of the human body, breathing is mandatory. Imagine how much you mean when I can not live without you for even one second. Loving you is beyond the need to live.

Personal - per⋅son⋅al /ˈpɜrsənl/[pur-suh-nl] Baby, you're my personal brand of heroin and I need to be around you most times. Its because of you that I'm addicted. Your punishment should be me for a lifetime. By the way baby, you're perfect.

Queen - queen/kwin/[kween] You know you're the queen of my heart. You took the throne and refused to share it with anyone else and rightfully that is your right, the right to demand all the love of a hobbit forever and ever. Sit tight my queen because my heart beats only for you.

Reason - rea⋅son/ˈrizən/[ree-zuhn] I've said it befor and I'll say it again over and over again, you're my reasons. You're all my reasons.

Strength - strength  /strɛŋkθ, strɛŋθ, strɛnθ/ [strengkth, strength, strenth] When I'm weak, you're all the strength that I need, the sweetest smile I can see, everything I need to lift the darkest of days. The reason why I get up for everyday.

Treasure - treas⋅ure/ˈtrɛʒər/[trezh-er] I could dig and search all my life, but there will never be another treasure like you in this life and many lifes to come. So I will always treasure you, hold you close and cherish all the days of our lives.

Unique - u⋅nique/yuˈnik/[yoo-neek] You're one in six billion. Nothing was, is or will be like you and only a fool would ever let you go. Let me be your one in six billion too.

Vital - vi⋅tal/ˈvaɪtl/[vahyt-l] Nothing is more important than you. You will always be number one. Nothing can ever take your place. Everything important that I have or makes me, me is you.

Wow - wow/waʊ/[wou] You are simply wow! If only I could be a walking symbol that shows you wow not just with my hands and mouth under the water. You effortlessly sweep me off my feet, off this world, to outer space and back. Your smile is officially the deadliest weapon that mankind has ever created.

X - x/ɛks/[eks] X marks the spot baby. I don't need to look anymore since my angel appeared in the window of my heart. We found each other to write a new chapter. Lets write this lifetime together.

Year - year/yɪər/[yeer] If life is measured in years, let our love be measured in lovology and according to my lovology calculations, we will love each other on the scale of forever and ever baby.

Zip Code - zip/zɪp/[zip] code/koʊd/[kohd] You have to remember that the zipcode to my heart is 1314. Anytime you feel like mailing me or calling my heart, let it last a lifetime.

Meeting you, I feel alive everyday to see the day. Its simple really to describe it that way, but for the first time in my life, I'm living life. Time passes by shortly and a lifetime of man is but a flicker of a flame in time. I have lived 25 years on earth and I choose to use this given time, this privilege given to me, to love and treasure the most important things in life. Its a hundred baby, all I want to do is hold your hand for another hundred, and another hundred, and another and another, and when we look back at the fading sun, my eyes will tell you this: I've loved you a lifetime. Thank you for loving me back.

PS. Bie, I looked into your eyes for love, I found a lifetime. This hundred's for you. Like me, I hope you smile a lifetime. I love you.

i think forever and ever will be enough

I think I would miss you even if I'd never met you.

~ The Wedding Date



This morning driving Ms. Lion, I said I would try to write something romantic today without sounding like a nerd trying too hard to which she smiled. She smiles so beautiful with the sunlight in her face. Jennifer Aniston once said that the best smell in the world is that man that you love. The best smell in the world to a silly lamb is when a lion has that dreamy look fixed on the lamb and slowly bends over to rest the lamb's shoulder. And when the lion leans over that much slightly and the lamb so much as takes a whiff of the lion, its as close to heaven. That lamb doesn't mind waking up to heaven everyday. Everyday for a lifetime.

Baby, its the 99th scribble on eletronic paper and today, like always, you are simply the most beautiful women in the world to me. I wonder if by the 99th post, would you know why do I always call you beautiful and not hot. By the 99th dance for you, I don't know if you actually wonder why when you're sad and pour like drops of rain, I'm worst than a thunderstorm. I'm not sure by this 99th post if you know why when the entire world falls asleep under the stars, why I would lie awake listening to your heartbeat, singing in a crappy voice that no one hears and kiss you when you're not aware.

I wonder if by the 99th writing across the heart that beats for you, if sometimes when you close your eyes, you would see the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are sweating, who holds your hand in front of God knows who, and who thinks you’re pretty without makeup on. I wonder if you sometimes miss a guy who won’t leave you when he has to be somewhere, and can’t stay away from you. But most of all, I wonder if by the 99th whisper in blogosphere if you know that all these questions are not important because I have forever and ever with you written all over me.

Renee Zelweger in Jerry Maguire shouted, "I love him! I love him for the man he wants to be. And I love him for the man he almost is." After a journey of holding your hand walking through 99 posts, I wonder through the sun and rain, if I have become the one, the one who you have confidence in that can walk forever and ever with you. Today's post maybe simple, but nothing more than to ask if you would like to take another dive with me, if you would like to see the sunset in Bali with me, if you would like to eat dessert along the busy streets of Hong Kong with me and in this life, if you would like to watch each sunrise and sunset with me teethless and grey haired. Our forever's waiting for us, all we're doing is walking there one step at a time with a DL list in our hands and all the love in the world around us. I love you more and more at the 99th.

PS. Bie, this is the first 99th to come, will you be there with me at 99 watching our sunset together?

This menu called you're everything

Why do you want to marry me?
So I can kiss you anytime I want!

People say that writing a recipe from scratch is difficult and a real labour of love after hours of experimentation and sacrifice to create a dish. Gourmet appreciation is an acquired art and dedication to the perfection of culinary delights. Each ingredient you choose to include in a recipe and later a menu must mesh together first to create the taste that is balanced and is able to woo the taste buds. Secondly, to contain the right amount of nutrients to balance the diet. Each ingredient is carefully measured to percision for the perfect taste. If you put that much care into the creation of a menu on a table, imagine how much more difficult it would be, to begin writing a menu of life.

Today is another day caught in between and I woke up today blinking for what appeared to be seconds thinking about you. Was dreaming of a table set by the seaside for you and you looked absolutely splendid and ravishing in your white gown. I was there by your side watching the sun set. It was perfect, you were perfect. Today I wake up inspired to write you a menu worth your lifetime.

Ingredients:-

I have tried my best to measure these must have ingredients in the menu to present a perfect gourmet for a lion to the best of a lamb's knowledge and ability.

1. Dry thyme and fresh rosemary, and other assortment of herbs and spices. I hope our love can be the spice that keeps things fresh during the most boring of days.
2. Starch and broth, I wish that our love will always be rich in flavour of life be it from the ups and downs that only makes us stronger in our relationship.
3. Water. The essence of cooking. I hope that our love will have all the essentials and the basics no matter how simple it may seem but important so that we may build a strong foundation of love.
4. Wine, milk and juice to add to the sweetness of the days we spend together. Although water is essential, I too pray for the gift of being able to sweeten
5. Salt and pepper to taste. Enough laughter and tears to last us to the end of our days.
6. Virgin olive oil to smooth us through the turbulence that will appear to test us
7. Vegetables to always have events that dress our life well. It doesn't matter big or small but I wish we would celebrate all occassions together
8. Meat to always have purpose and fullness of life enjoyed together
9. Rice, my baby's must have and mine. Although common, nothing is more special than to just live a normal everyday life together. The magic is not in the special moments nor do these moments define who we are, its the simple stuff that we do that makes this last.

Although this is not a complete ingredient list, I hope too to have the strength to care for my baby and love her to the end of our days together. This menu is special because although I can write it, it can never be complete without her. Without you baby, there is no menu of life.

Appetizer
Dumplings of You and Me. We're going to stick together through thick and thin. As long as our hands are never apart, no mountain will be high enough and no valley too deep for us to wade across. I know you don't really like dumplings but hope you like your lamb enough to start a journey that will last forever.

Fried Wantan of Togetherness. Like the essence of the wanton. Let our love create this bubble of fried layers around our love. Do not look back, hold my hand and start enjoying life for what it is.

Soup
ABC Soup of the Soul. We are different people yet common enough to make our soup and our life interesting and tasty enough. So cherish how we are both different and the same.

Entrees
Rice. What else but sharing our everyday together will do. Cooked just nice not too wet and not too dry, hope we can share the same aspirations to be just perfect walking together.

Side Dishes
Belacan kangkung. Your fav vege and mine too. Its taste is just spicy enough to tantalise but not too hot that it burns. Hope this passion will last and keeps us excited about love and life just nice and not burn us.

Dongpo pork. Pan fried and red cooked pork belly, like us, hopefully the taste of a great dish will inspire us to continue looking ahead starting with our DL list. Although not as famous, we have a list to live with and to aim for.

Peking Duck and Lobster. Red is the color for happiness, hoping for joy and celebration. Serving the dish whole, with the head and legs, like the completeness of our life through love.

Squab (or Other Fowl). According to Shu Shu Costa, the author of Wild Geese and Tea, pigeon has tender meat that symbolizes peace. Squab (pigeon) is similar to quail, so they both probably symbolize peace. I hope for a peaceful life with you away from all the small worries of life.

Vegetables with Sea Cucumber. I hope we will always be selfless true to the name of “sea cucumber” resembling “"good heart” or hou sam to always avoid conflict together.

Fish. That we will always live in abundance of joy and happiness.

Noodles. That we will last forever and ever. My fav is still the instant noodles that you cooked and at the same time makes your mom mad at us :P

Dessert
Tiramisu that you bake with rum. Although my tounge still does not have the privilege, nothing tastes better than the touch of your hand and that will stay the same for all time. I bet its sweet enough for both of us to never stop smiling.

Cendol/that Hong Kong desset with durian that you like. Can also settle for cendol that we both love and I think will come to share the love you have for the same dessert from Hong Kong. Your smile is the sweetest thing that a man will ever see. May I always have the gift of painting it for you.

Wine Selection
White wine of eternal happiness. This one I will brew for you, everyday until we both grow white hair and lose all teeth together.

PS. Bie, this menus for you like the ones who wrote it. Lucky you because it comes with a lifetime guarantee. So pick me, pick our menu, and we'll enjoy it forever and ever.

I feel like dancing

Soul mates. It's extremely rare, but it exists. It's sort of like twin souls tuned into each other. It just so happened I found mine that looks just like you standing in front of me looking right at me now that I would give up heaven for you.

~ What Dreams May Come



Recording the final posts to a hundred seems a journey by itself. Have not really paid attention to the posts that I've written but only when my lion mentioned it did I bother to go back and count. It really doesn't feel or seem like I've written much for her. My heart simply speaks and my hands listen to it beat before it dances for her. Admitedly even at my best, the words I scribble and the symphony of phrases I can conjure can not match her elegance and beauty on the dance floor. But this simple dance is for her. And its a solo on a floor that echoes I love you baby the only way I know how to say it best.

Every turn or spin requires the dancer to focus on keeping his/her balance. This is achieved through focus and spotting. Other elements also include body alignment and placement of the arms. For the purposes of dancing Salsa, the dance steps borrow Focus and Spotting from other dances such as Jazz and Ballet. When I dance across the keyboard, the only thing I'm focused on is your smile and the only spotting is the mind and heart are one in saying that you will always know that I love you. The only thing I need to borrow is your heart and I will need it for a lifetime.

Spotting is applied when a dancer is turning solo or is caused to turn. Spotting is the act of causing your head and eyes to “start last” and “finish first” throughout the sequence of spins while keeping your body centered. What’s important about spotting is to learn how to “separate” the head from the body when turning. The effect of not spotting is dizziness. If I do not spot her clouds from far away, I end up more than dizzy. I need to always keep my head separated from my heart that is anxious about her all the time and to be calm enough to hold her hand when the whole world is falling apart around us.

Since the head is heavy, it needs to be controlled as the body spins or turns. At first, everyone feels the effect of dizziness. Since our eyes are like the lens on glasses and cameras, everyone will find themselves going out of focus and then back into focus. Eventually, people become more accustomed to focusing eyes and balancing the body to accomplish single or multiple turns. My head often gets carried away by silly thoughts and my eyes do not see the truth when I'm needed to. So I choose to be by her side and listen before any storm carries us away. As I walk more with her, I learn how best to love perfection in all the turns of this story called life.

The name "Salsa" is the Spanish word for sauce, which indicates (in American Spanish) a spicy flavor. Salsa as a dance for Salsa music was created by Spanish-speaking people from the Caribbean which mixes African and European dance influences through the music and dance fusions that are the roots of Salsa. The dance steps currently being danced to salsa music come from the sun, but were influenced by many other Cuban dances such as Mambo, Cha cha cha, Guaracha, Changüí, Palo Monte, Rumba, Abakuá, Comparsa and sometimes even Mozambique. Walking with you is the sharing of passion which is simply born from the infusion of emotions and the creativity born of expressing how important you are to me. We are the same but different enough to create our own unique journey through life so walk with me.

The basic step of all styles of salsa involves 3 weight changes (or steps) in each 4 beat measure. The beat on which one does not step might contain a tap or kick, or weight transfer may simply continue with the actual step not occurring until the next beat. Some individuals may insert an actual pause. One of the steps is a "break step" a little bit longer than the other two. Different styles of Salsa are often differentiated by the direction and timing of the break step ("on 1" or "on 2" for example). After 6 weight changes in 8 beats, the basic step cycle is complete. We have weight changes in our relationship too and it involves a lot of patience and understanding. I do not say that there won't be storms ahead waiting for us but we will walk this complete step cycle, so you need to trust me and give me your hand always.

As a salsa dancer changes weight the upper body remains level and nearly unaffected by the weight changes. Caught in the middle are the hips which end up moving quite a bit--the famous "Cuban hip movement." My steps follow you while my eyes are fixed on you, unable to move anywhere else. Caught in the middle is my heart which ends up being in a storm -- the famous "Beating only for a sealion".

In a salsa dance, the arms are used to communicate the lead in either open or closed position. In open position the two dancers hold one or both hands, especially for moves that involve turns, or putting arms behind the back, or moving around each other. In closed position, the leader puts the right hand on the follower's back, while the follower puts the left hand on the leader's shoulder. In life, we take turns leading each other, no matter what baby, just don't let go off me because a lamb needs a lion or it gets lost. I don't dance well or to put it in a more honest light, I can't dance at all but this one dance I will hold your hand for is this little dance called love. And its going to last a lifetime.

PS. Bie, dance this forever and ever with me. Dance with me to the beat of I Love You and hold me tight because the only dance of life we will have will be beautiful for our lifetime.

Shes back. My life is complete.

Was so tempted to just type that as todays blog entry because thats all that matters. For real. Am still half dazed on a Monday morning that shes back and no gift meant more to me than seeing her smile and being with her. I don't bake very well and my cooking skills are very limited to the point of producing a perfectly fried egg is a task I struggle with, but would like to write this recipe down as something that I would want to achieve and commit to. As always, everythings about you baby.

Some basic pointers and guidelines for beginners in approaching all life attempts at baking:-

1. Keep the flame of love alive by telling my baby that I love her everyday and saying shes beautiful and mean it. If she asks why and how do I know, the answer is always because if anyone should know whether shes beautiful or not, that lucky person should be me because I'm going to spend a lifetime adoring and admiring this same face I wake up to every morning.

2. In order to mend a broken heart, its not always about the quality of the dough that you use. Its always about why the need to mend in the first place. Respect the art of loving and the tolerance that it demands to make baking a lifetime perfect.

3. The most standard approach to woo the senses is not by using the most expensive ingredients or the sweetest toppings that you can buy. Its about being yourself when there is nothing left to hide and you will know you have her impressed when she loves you in all your imperfections. That somehow you do not need to work hard to suppress your weaknesses because she loves all that makes you, simply you.

4. Patience is a virtue, apply it in all aspects and in all areas of your and her life. Being patient is not in waiting for her or in trying to understand her. Being patient is in willing to be there when it hurts and listen to everything she has to say because its important and I am not always right. Being patient is the ability to stand by her side in the bleakest of hours and hold her hand while the storm is going on outside and she needs you in that moment. When you can not hold her hand, simply remember to always be with her no matter what and remind her that you will always be for a lifetime.

5. Watch the fire. When shes upset and pissed off, offer your hand for her to bite and release. Just kidding. When she's upset and unhappy, be by her side and cry with her even if you have no tears to spare because it hurts you more than her and you want to get better with her. So love her and cherish and treasure her when the world doesn't know how to appreciate the greatest treasure mankind will ever find.

With the basics now covered, the recipe of the day is to bake simple cookies. Yes, I know most people can bake cookies and I'm really silly to want to cover this but this is my recipe for my lion from a heart that has not stopped beating for her and a mind that refuses to stop thinking about her.

Chocolate Chip Sealamb Cookies

Note: This is to serve 1314 helpings or in human terms, a lifetime supply (change servings and units to suit your taste buds and life preference)

Ingredients

* 1 1/2 cups margarine (not butter although my baby likes butter because butter makes them too flat or at least thats what I picked up in a kitchen in New Zealand) or can be substituted for 1 1/2 cup of her smiles
* 1 1/4 cups crunchy peanut butter (this one she likes but only her preferred brand and I spoil by her also allowing this) or can be substituted for 1 1/4 cups of pampering
* 1 cup brown sugar or 1 cup of holding your hand whenever I have the chance to
* 1 cup white sugar or 1 cup of thinking about you every second
* 2 eggs (she likes eggs! :) ) or 2 helpings of hugs always when she needs them and when she does not need them
* 1 teaspoon vanilla or 1 teaspoon of hiding with her in between sheets on a rainy day
* 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour or 3 1/4 cups of being every role that she needs you to be from the chauffeur, bodyguard, kitchen hand, dive buddy, best friend, phone buddy, blogger, lover, to life partner and everything new role she needs you to be
* 1 teaspoon baking powder or 1 teaspoon of watching tv with her on a cosy day and laze around
* 1 teaspoon baking soda or 1 teaspoon of walking her dog with her
* 1 teaspoon salt or 1 teaspoon of kisses in the morning
* 2 (12 ounce) bags chocolate chips (choc another of her fav)
* white sugar, to roll cookies in or to just ask her to roll in my arms

Directions and Techniques

* Pay close attention to each step and messing means the baking turns out awkward and you need to constantly pay attention to making sure that her life is perfect

1. Sift together dry ingredients. Think of it as starting and always continuing to maintain the basic needs of the relationship by always being there for her and doing your best and sincerest in all things no matter how big or small. You may think she doesn't notice but treat her like shes the entire world to you because she really is.



You do not always know how it will turn out, but I believe that shes the one, my Trinity

2. Cream butter and sugars is mixed in next. Always add in joy and happiness in her life. You need to feed on her smiles. So feed yourself by treating her like she deserves to be, always number one.

3. Add eggs and vanilla and stir together. This is to generate flavour. Go through every thick and thin together and always be by her side, walking and never letting her hand go.

4. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture gradually and mix until blended. This is to really get all the ingredients working together and meshing well. In everything, to think for the both of us and remember that its always about both of us, the only time there is time to think about myself is when I want to be a jerk and an arse to piss her off and disrupt the mix. Which is bad juju and a definite no-no.

5. Add chocolate chip. And make her life really be like a box of chocolates. Only this time every time she reaches into the box, she pulls out smiles and memories that makes her coming back for more.



It may not be perfect everytime, but baby I'm trying

6. Roll in balls and roll in sugar. Criss cross with a fork. Adding designs and dressing is a nice touch. Always remember to not embarrass her although you are an ass like me and can't be bothered to dress well or be bothered with social niceness.

7. Bake 8 minutes @ 350 degrees (Will be just a little brown) Take out. Do not overbake or they will be too crunchy. Do not overbake the relationship. Always be patient. Read back general rule number four. Let love bake for a liftime. The only person that can make this happen is you so work hard to dedicate yourself to be loyal and loving to last forever and ever.

8. Remove to a wire rack and let cool. Once alls said and done, relax and hold her hand until both lose teeth, grow grey hair and become fat asses together watching each sunrise and sunset with the world.



It's not the most beautiful like me, but I love you and hope you love me forever too

The choc chip cookie can only be how much you want it to be. This is a lifetime labour of love, dedication, sacrifice for each other, desire to make things happen and a willingness to live a same purpose together. I'm baking my own choc chip cookie. I made mistakes in screwing up some steps but I'm never going to look at my mistakes as I mould a perfect cookie for a perfect person I've found. I love you and I'm making it last a lifetime, this cookie's for you baby.

PS. Bie, I am everything that you need me to be, be it with wings or fins, I come with a lifetime guarantee that promises to charm your mind, excite your senses, woo your heart, complete your life. I love you.

all bridges lead to you

It seems right now that all I've ever done in my life is making my way here to you.

In five days, an embryo or what will eventually become a baby, in the form of blastula attaches to the wall of the female uterus. When it comes into contact with the uterus it performs implantation. Implantation connections between the mother and the embryo will begin to form, including the umbilical cord. In normal human words, in just five days, a baby would already begin to attach to the mother and develop a connection that will last a lifetime.

In five days, a new movie release is measured in terms of box office success and is the most critical of any entertainment industry be it even in music for the hype to catch up. Failing to capture the audience's attention in this period is a definite recipe of disaster. In summary, any release has five days to make its mark in history and decide its fate.

People in the civilised world who were under the British imperial rule, work and get paid in five days to which most is spent on being happy with alcohol and a great weekend. People go away on trips and holidays by travelling to short distances and meet up. In fact, everyone gets paid after five days and gets to be happy and merry.

On the fifth day of the Chinese/Lunar New Year, people eat Jiǎozi (simplified 饺子), or dumplings on the morning of Po Wu (破五). This is also the birthday of the Chinese god of wealth. In Taiwan, businesses traditionally re-open on this day, accompanied by firecrackers. People start working after five days of Chinese New Year.

Five days:

If an embryo is connected to the mother in almost the most important relationship of the life the baby will have, imagine how much five days mean to me without the most important relationship of my life.

If success of any commercial release is measured in five days, imagine how much these five days mean when I've lost all meaning and hope and the only success I have is in being alive and missing you.

If people get paid after five days in the civilised world under the past Imperial rule, then my only reward after five days is to see you again which is simply the most perfect gift a sealamb can ask for.

If after five days of celebrating Chinese/Lunar New Year, people go back to work. After five days, I will finally get to work on making you smile and make you the happiest most happy and contented women in the world.

Baby, after five days of waiting, this is my moment, this is our moment. The moment of perfection when you return back to where you belong. Right here, in my heart that has never stopped beating for you. I love you and am waiting for you. So smile on the jetplane back, smile for me. Its a beautiful Sunday because its all about you and it will always be about you. Waiting for you.

PS. Bie, I love you and these words will ring ever true. It seems all my life, every moment has been one step closer to holding your hand for a lifetime. Waiting for your smile to come back :D

haunting you forever if you dont mind

If I tell you I love you, can I keep you forever?

Slept late last night so I would be tired out and wouldn't be getting up in between missing you. Just one more day. After a week of crafting stories from aliens to adventures in lost worlds, today your hobbit would just like to record a message from my heart and thoughts from a silly lamb's mind for you before I get to the convention center for the dive exhibition. Just a simple, short and sweet message if I can write one for you. We're going together baby theres no doubt about that. You simply never left my side. Its just I can't see you right now and that hurts a bit. I know you wanted me to write about whats going on in the exhibition but I would really like to tell you what I saw instead of you reading a 'review'.

The weathers nice today with birds chirping at the window as I type this down and last I checked, Taipei was also sunny like your smiles on the phone. Blame the naughty ponies for nibbling on your shawl. All kind of animals and beasts seem to like to feed on you :) Its you, always about you. Am happy that your sorethroat is gone and that you can finally enjoy today fully. Its the last long full day and a part of me is happy and the other wishing that today would go by faster. Time does play funny parts on my emotions especially when you're not around. I woke up rubbing my eyes hard today and the image of you slapping my hand away immediately stopped me and left me with a grin. I woke up with a faint memory of a dream involving you. You were smiling for me and that was beautiful.

Todays a beautiful day baby. After falling down from my bed trying to touch you in my dream and bruising my leg against the wall, I'm smiling more today baby because that image of the most beautiful creature under the seas is still keeping me enchanted. You're beautiful today baby. How do I know? Because I have to know and theres nothing more true. Like Casper, baby, if I act cute and say I love you, can I keep you forever? With that, your hobbit is signing off and starting out to the expo. Divers beware, baa baa baaa!

PS. Bie, keeping myself entertained by daydreams of alien invasions, you in Bali, laces and your smile. Todays beautiful and its all because of you, its always you. Smile for me baby, I love you!

this side right here...its called i love you....

Only you, you're the only thing I'll see forever. In my eyes, in my words and in everything I do.

~ West Side Story



At sunrise, everything is filled with light, everything lights up and is luminous but strangely unclear. My heart fills with hope that its another passing day and that I'm starting today with you but strangely everythings unclear because you're not right here with me staring at me and smiling. Its the third day and its among the most painful in waiting for you. Being deeply loved by you gives me strength, while loving someone deeply like you gives me courage to make today beautiful.

Another day has gone, I'm still all alone. How could this be? You're not here with me. Michael Jackson sang it best on the radio today. I'm trying my best to be as lovable to you as possible simply because I really miss you and want you to love me so much. Do you know why it rains in Taipei everyday? Its because everytime I reach up and hold a star for every time you’ve made me miss you, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand. The clouds had nothing to hide so it all fell down like my heart in Taipei and it started the second your foot touched Taipei. You asked me to be happy and smile for you, so I imagined today as a treasure quest.

The Chronicles of a Hobbit

I still recall the start of the adventure as clear as the blue azure clear waters of the plateau. This is a recollection of events leading up to our historic ascent to claim the legendary treasure of TrueLove. This is written as a beacon to those also seeking to find it.

I still recall being there in the middle of my mundan and repetitive job when I'm offered an opportunity to join a band of explorers and head into the hidden worlds of the Lost World. The phone call full of hope from my dear old friend, Professor SeaLamb was too exciting and surreal that it had to be false. The intrigue and the possibilities of finding what I've been searching for all my life, the one, was too hard to resist. The elusive treasure that all men seek but only few find. The burning enthusiasm was shared by us, the band of five that were chosen by Professor SeaLamb. We set out in the month of June of the year of the Cow. We reached the plateau of the unexplored island of Taipei with the aid of native guides, who are superstitiously scared of the area.



One of these natives, Missing You, is the brother of a man that was killed the last time he was with the expedition led by Professor SeaLamb in Hangzhou. When the expedition manages to get onto the plateau, Missing You destroyed our bridge, trapping us across from our base camp and the other natives. Our devoted aide, Misisng You Even More With Each Passing Second remains at the base, but is unable to prevent the rest of the natives from leaving once news spread that we were spread on the other side with remote chance of getting back. They left after looting and stealing what they could from our base camp. We turned on Missing You demanding how could he treat us this way before Missing You turned to us with an evil mad grin saying, "I warned you. This would happen when you're seeking to find the ETERNAL TREASURE OF LOVE. You need to risk everything without ever knowing you will find it." Laughing maniacally, he leapt straight into the waters of FIVE DAYS that separated us from civilisation.



Deciding to carry on and investigate the lost world, the party was divided on the way ahead but decided to venture further into the thick jungles ahead. The party started to grow restless with time as we did not know where we were and were really LOST. On the second day of wandering, we were attacked by huge birds of prey, which Professor SeaLamb identified as the "LOST WITHOUT SEALION SYNDROME". We lost HAPPINESS and MEANING to the attacks. The entire party's morale was down but upon finding a shallow stream of fresh water to which the natives knew as "SMILING ALL BECAUSE OF YOU", we were again spirited that we declared that the waters of FIVE DAYS will not bring us down.



We crossed the middle of the island and reached the middle mark of the swamp called "TWO DAYS LEFT" in an intact spirit and supplies. Professor SeaLamb remarked that this was the mid junction of our journey and we were full of hope that we were drawing closer to our goal to where the treasure was last seen. We found some measure of happiness at least reaching a milestone we set out for. We also found some blue clay at the swamps to which I personally take a great degree of interest in, naming it "CALF THAT MUNCHED MY BABY'S HAIR". Making a mental note to myself to explore the use of the clay later, we left the swamps to the next part of our adventure.



After exploring the terrain and having a few misadventures in which our expedition narrowly misses being killed by wandering carnivorous birds called "WONDERING WHAT ARE YOU DOING", the remainder of our party, Professor SeaLamb, WAITING FOR YOU, LOVING YOU RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW and SILLY LAMB are captured by a race of ape-men, the "LIFE IS INCOMPLETE AND FOOD TASTELESS WITHOUT YOU" tribe. While in their village, we find out there are also a race of humans inhabiting the other side of the plateau who the ape-men are constantly at war with. I managed to escape and managed to convince THINK YOU THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CREATURE TO WALK PLANET EARTH, the leader of the men residing on the other end to mount to a rescue. We arrived just in time to prevent the executions of the Professor and our party. We retreated back to the human tribe to regroup after the exhaustive rescue mission. With our help and knowledge of technology, we defeat the ape-men, taking control of the whole plateau.



Gaining freedom to explore the island at our leisure, we separated into all four corners of the wind, each to seek the fortune that awaited us. I chose the path of "LISTENING TO YOU AND LOCKING MY CARDOOR SO YOU WON'T WORRY" and went ahead bravely. There were many obstacles but we had given ourselves the two remaining days to search individually. I refused to give up no matter the cause because something tells me that I've found it. And searching for hours beneath the barren deserts of "I WISH I WAS WITH YOU NOW", I managed to pull out the long sought chest of "THIS IS ALL I NEED AND HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR". Tinkering with the lock of the SeaLion, it finally snapped open.



Therein, behold, I lay eyes on it for the first time, the missing treasure of ETERNAL TREASURE OF LOVE shining like the sun, radiant and more beautiful than I imagined. The moment I laid my eyes on the treasure that has brought down kingdoms and destroyed nations, at first it teased my eye but now its caught my heart. Flutttering the wings it had, it whispered, "You have braved the FIVE DAYS and many challenges but you will have to wait a bit more brave adventurer. When the time is right, you will find me again. So believe and wait." Rising slowly to take leave, the treasure offered me a smile which I will always remember as it turned back to say "I love you". With that,the treasure vanished into thin air. Stunned, I still found it hard to grasp that the wait will continue. My eyes were watery with all the effort as the realisation poured all over me and washed all my emotions. So I will wait, wait for my greatest treasure to come back to where my treasure belongs, right here where its beating for you.

PS. Bie, F.R.I.D.A.Y stands for For Real I Decided Another Year is too long a wait. We have a DL list. What my baby wants my baby gets. Am waiting for your smile right here right now.
