You're My Friend



I lost a very dear friend of mine at a very young age. It was hard for me to cope without her, everything about her paints a portrait of me. Everything I am at this moment, I give it all to her, everything of me, it is because of her - my interest in singing, in drawing and reading all comes from her.

Losing her was by far the hardest pain I have been through and it left a huge scar, though my scars doesn’t make me sad, instead these permanent scars tells me whatever I had been through it made my heart and desire stronger.

I have to admit it was hard accepting that she is not physically with me anymore, but that doesn’t mean she is a forgotten echo. I will forever remember her.

            Oh how much I miss you dear Amanda, I will never forget you.

It has been 8 years without her, but I will forever remember her through the memories, and through a song I wrote of her.


I won’t go chasing, chasing waterfalls
I know there’s nothing, at the end of the road
My friend you’re the good one, you lift the pain from the past
So there’s that reason
To believe there’s heaven in earth

You’re my friend; you’re my only good friend
And you’ve been gone, and all I have is that one
Memory to reminisce
You and me that’s all I got
You’ve been gone, so long, good bye
Down in your casket, while I sit and cry

You’re my friend
Miss A, I miss you
I want you back but it can’t
I wanna say good bye but I can’t
I want you here but I know it’s not going to happen

You’ve been gone, and all I have is that one
Memory to reminisce
You and me that’s all I got
You’ve been gone, so long, good

Transforming our Fear

Ever wonder why it’s very hard for one to go forward? Everyone wants to achieve their goals, everyone wants to succeed – everyone wants a happy ending. But why is it so hard to achieve something? Why do we always seem to find ourselves thinking it’s impossible to win? At times when the issue gets difficult, we turn our backs, thinking the journey is simply impossible. We become afraid and retreat. Why? There would be a solid answer. Fear. Every time I’m set on a journey, ‘fear’ tends to invade me. I let fear conquer me; hence I tend to fail achieving certain thing. Fear of being rejected Fear of failing Fear of starting something new Fear of letting go certain things Fear of being alone Everyone has fear, no matter how brave the person may seem – everyone is a little scared. It’s okay to feel a bit scared. Fear is a vital response to physical and emotional danger – if we don’t feel it, we won’t protect ourselves from any sorts of threat. We face our fear and lea...

Waiting for What?

Most of the time people sit idle by, waiting for an opportunity - waiting for the “right time”. Waiting for these moments is like waiting for snow to fall in a desert, the possibilities are rare, and there would be a 4 to 1 chance it could happen, waiting for a miracle without putting any effort would be a waste of time. It is true that everyone wants to have a happy ending, but why do some have to sit and do nothing? Why not stand up and try? What is holding us back? What is the exact reason for us to delay our goals?  Everyday we strive for motivation, strive to achieve, yet again, we make excuse.  Many wants to succeed yet, still there are people who are afraid.     Fear.  Fear have held us back, fear have made us weak and so we make excuses, because fear have gotten in the way, our motivation are weakened.   "I'm afraid, because I'm not good enough."    "I'm scared because I don't know what will happen."    "I fe...

Trendsetter or Motivator?

“There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved” – George Sand Love is one of the most profound emotions known to human beings. There are many kinds of love, but most people seek its expression in a romantic relationship with a compatible partner. For certain people, romantic relationships are the most meaningful element in their lives, providing a source of deep fulfilment and pure happiness. However, some prefer the life alone. Why? Perhaps they have been through too much heartache, and the thought of going through yet another failed relationship is too much to bear. Failed relationships happen for many reasons, and the failure of a relationship is often a source of great psychological anguish.  Relationship has always been a positive mechanism- a motivator. In Jamison. L. Ganong’s journal, “Journal of Social and Personal Relationships”, it was stated that relationship is “a key to motivate the comforts of an intimate relationship while maintaining a...
