Never Back Down

Everybody wears masks. Some for good intentions, some for bad. Most of them, for both.
Sometimes we have no idea how to deal with certain situations, or certain people. So what do we do? We either walk away, or put on a mask. We face it with our fake self. Some people we don't like, but simply because they're friends with your friends, or relatives of your family, we act fine. Less drama, less problems.

In the same way, certain people might have the same thinking towards us. As the Malay saying goes, 'hati manusia sukar diselami'. We may never know what a person thinks. It's a cruel world. Reality is never sweet. Life is fair, humans aren't.

Life is never bad, only we make it bad. 36 days left, still counting.
What if I screw this up? No, I can't. My dreams will be shattered if I do. I've come so far, travelled a long distance, went through rocky paths and uphill battles. I ain't giving up. If I have to give up everything, I will.

Nothing can defeat me. God's always with me.

Wish

The feeling of being blamed
For the things you didn't do
For the things that aren't your fault
You wish it wouldn't be this way too
But what does wishing do
More than keeping you away from reality
But then all those in your dreams
Are just fantasy

I was mad, so mad
I was hurt, because of her words
Because she sees it that way
Because she blames me for the things I didn't do
I didn't ask for all these
Neither did I want these
But what can I do, theres nothing I can do

Tears followed after the anger
Then a voice in my head told me
It told me not to cry
Stiffen up that upper lip, and hold my head high
It told me to be strong
Because I'd be gone, after not long

I gazed at the rain drops
I wondered what would it be like
Living alone
Maybe it'd be better, maybe not
I guess I've lost my rational thoughts

Hold On

When everyone around you is busy with their life
When everything goes by in the speed of light
Living life in the fast lane
Rushing to anywhere everyday

Have you, have you tried to slow down?
And enjoy this one life we have
Have you, have you tried to relax?
Because it's one of the things we need
Have you ever tried to move to the next lane?
Where everything goes by slower, even just a bit

When the sky decides to cry
What would you do? What would you do?
Look out your window, and wait for the rainbow
For after the rain, the sun shines
And a curved of seven colors is formed

So why in life, must you give up?
When there is hope still left
When there is love that remains
Why, why must you give up?
Even with the last bit of hope,
Even with the last drop of love,
Hold on, for these last bits and drops
May change your life…

We The Kings

                                                          -Travis Clark, We The Kings-
                                      Live in KL, 30th May 2012 at Stadium Bukit Jalil, Carpark F
                                                       Together with We Are The In Crowd

The flashing of the lights on stage, the music being played out loud. The drummer playing his drum, feeling every beat vibrating throughout your body. The guitarist with his awesome guitar and last but not least, the vocalist, singing his heart out, together with the audiences.
Now I get why people cry when they see their favorite singer/band on stage; I've experienced that two days ago. Seeing Travis Clark on stage, was beyond awesomeness. When he sang She Takes Me High, well, HE took us high. Everyone was jumping with their hands up high, shouting "TRAVIS I LOVE YOU". I did too. Not many know them, We The Kings, but they sure are awesome.

The highlight for the past three days' journey wasn't even the concert. For me, it was the experiences we had; chasing the commuter, chasing public bus, getting on the wrong platform, running up and down the stairs with our luggage and so on.
I think, we've learnt more than we ever could. The things we planned didn't go the way we wanted 'em to. Unfortunate things happened which made us all really upset. But, this is life. Nobody knows what will happen next even if we are careful enough. What's fated to happen, will happen.
This, is an experience worth remembering. Bittersweet moments. They were saying if next time we have kids, we'd tell them what we did and what happen. Hahaha.
I swear we're some real lucky bitches.The kind taxi driver allowed the SIX of us in one taxi because we were running out of time and if the train back to Ipoh didn't get delay, we won't be home so early. Rushing like some marathon runners, eyes were watching us, running with our luggage. Practically 'SHOWERING' in the commuter from Bandar Tasik Selatan to KL Sentral. But above everything else, thank God we're safe. And without the guys, mostly Ian, I THINK we'd be in more trouble.
An awesome experience. (;

AND AND I WILL NEVER FORGET THE MOMENT WHEN TRAVIS CLARK STEPPED ON STAGE.
