You Raise Me Up



In the journey of our lives, we encounter with a lot of obstacles, hardship and crucial moments. Life can be so difficult and can even be meaningless sometimes. It is at this point of time that we need lots of support and encouragement from the people who care for us. They can be families and friends. I am lucky to be acquainted with very good friends from all walks of life. Some friends do wonders to me and the most amazing about them is that some I have not met in person. Simply keeping in touch through emails and phone calls.

This song is dedicated to all my friends and families out there who have helped me a lot in going through the calamities in my life. Thank you for all the good things you bring to my life. No words can express how much you mean to me, no dictions can barely explain how grateful I am to you.

When I am down and oh my soul so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit awhile with me

You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be

There is no life no life without it's hunger
Each restless heart beat so imperfectly
But when you come and I am filled with wonder
Sometimes I think I glimpse eternity

You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be

You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be.

"the traveller"

for i am only a traveller finding my way among the streets of your new town, i have other places to go to. i shall someday work out a map of this city and traverse it on foot, someday. for i am only a traveller, and cannot stay longer where there is no home. take my love while you can, take my hatred, take my weathered hand if you will, for i shall have no home here, among the dull buildings where the heart cannot stay. for i am only a traveller on my way, to somewhere further than here. this is the city that broke my heart, that stole my feelings from me; this is the city that took away my love, that told me i must go away. i must go somewhere. somewhere, where they can know me; can recognise that i am a man. some night when the city is asleep i’ll walk out quietly along your cruel streets through the suburban edge and into the dawn forests. somewhere, perhaps near where the sun rises, i can sit down, and sometimes perhaps, i can tell myself, here i am a man. ~Muhammad Haji Salleh~ Mu...

Happy Birthday Beloved PM

Image
Today is his 69th birthday. When asked what does he want for his birthday, he replied, "nothing expensive". A very humble person he is. That is one of his many good qualities. The following short and simple poem is dedicated to this humble and respected man, though the person himself may not read it. Nothing expensive from me. My jackets are made of leather, My cups are made of porcelain clay, Storm or sunshine, any kinds of weather, May the Lord bestows upon you a blissful and prosperous birthday! Happy birthday dear Prime Minister. It is sad to know the hardship you have gone through in your political life, but at the same time I am impressed with your strong personality in facing those calamities. May you have a smooth sailing in your journey of life. ~Swan Princess~

Malaysian Heritage

Dr Jaya was absolutely right. Staying in Melaka is definitely not boring at all. There are a lot of things to do, many things to see and many historical places to visit. I had a great time spending my weekends there. Since I decided not to go back to KL during weekends, I made plans with Zurina and Wazir to visit some of the beautiful places here. Melaka is a nice place to visit. I love watching the sunset at Klebang beach, window shopping at Mahkota Parade, eating “mee hoon basah” at the RR stall near our home, driving round the Melaka city at night with my friends, dinner at Anjung Batu…simply love the “ikan bakar”…ohhh so many things to tell and to share with. During one of the weekends, my friends and I visited one of the most popular attractions in Melaka that is the Taman Mini Malaysia. It is situated approximately 16 killometres from the city. The complex displays the actual size of the beautiful traditional crafted house from the 13 states in Malaysia. What is unique about Tama...
