You are all I need to get me through (get me through now baby)
Like a falling star I fell for you (I fell for you)
Sweet anticipation
It's giving me the butterflies
And my heartbeat's racing
Cos loving you is beautiful
When you're so irresistible
So don't stop (don't stop)
What you're doing baby
So good (so good) And it drives me crazy
One touch (who-ho-hoo)
I'm in heaven, yeah
Cos loving you is so beautiful baby cos...
You are all I need to get me through (to get me through now)
Like a falling star I fell for you (I fell for you now)
You have taught me how to love
An angel sent from high above
Now I know that all I need is you
Cos I need you and you need me
And we'll always be together
I thought I knew what love was
I always ended up in tears
It's just the way my world was
Until you walked into my life
It's something that I just can't hide
Real love (real love)
Has come my way
And I know (I know)
That it's here to stay
And it feels (who-ho-hooo)
Like never before
Cos loving you is so beautiful baby cos...
You are all I need to get me through (to get me through now)
Like a falling star I fell for you (I fell for you now)
You have taught me how to love
An angel sent from high above
Now I know that all I need is you
Cos I need you and you need me
And we'll always be together
Cos I need you and you need me
And we'll always be together
You're my inspiration
My world just seems a brighter place
I just wanna tell you
I've never ever felt this way
I've never thought I'd see the day
Real love (real love)
Has come my way
And I know (I know)
That it's here to stay
And it feels (who-ho-hooo)
Like never before
Cos loving you is so beautiful baby cos...
You are all I need to get me through (to get me through now)

You have taught me how to love
An angel sent from high above
Now I know that all I need is...
You are all I need to get me through (get me through now baby)
Like a falling star I fell for you (I fell for you)
You have taught me how to love
An angel sent from high above
Now I know that all I need is you

Making a difference to others' lives =)
Anyway, Suyi has also decided to opt for Commerce when she goes to uni next yr. I have told her numerous times that whatever decisions she makes and will make in future, she can count on my full moral support. Deep inside my heart, I just know she aspires to be a doctor and i know she will make a fabulous doctor. However, due to some reasons, she decides to take Commerce. Since you have decided, go for it! =)
I actually feel that ambitions/aspirations and knowing what we want in life are strongly correlated. Recently, a few friends actually approached me to ask about this...At that instant, I thought what my good friend, Mark told me three yrs back(when I was 18). I can still remember the scene where we had that convo very well.
*************************
(2006, University of Adelaide campus)
Mark: Mingchien, I know you have many other friends who have taught you many things in life. Glad to know you have a long-term ambition to fulfil. However, do you know what leads to you knowing what you want to be in the future?
Mi: I guess, it's because of my passion.
Mark: Yes your passion is one impt factor, but do you know the purpose of the ambition you are harbouring?
Mi: The purpose you mean?
Mark: Yes, that purpose I referred to is your goal in life. This goal also answers the question of your purpose of living. Answers why we are working so hard, what are we striving hard for. Or else, you have no direction in life. Mingchien, to understand your ambition well, you have to find this purpose, in other words, what you want in life. Start thinking about this early will do you good.
******************
'There is a saying: Without vision, the people perish.'
Ever since, I thought a lot, searching deep inside myself. I even asked some of my friends about theirs. I felt one of my friends' answer to be altruistic. She said, she wants to make a difference to mankind. She was doing Science degree and she aspires to be a researcher and wants to be in the research of finding cure for AIDS patients.
But how I eventually find my purpose? I searched deep inside myself, reflecting on how I feel about the events and issues surrounding me, and how I can be a good individual at present and in the future.
What kind of characters you possess or you think you might possess? (A fundamental question in order to determine it)
What you hope to do now and in the future that will give you the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction?
What do you strongly feel about?
Your passion plays an important role as well.
But finding this purpose requires time, this includes the time required to know yourself. I took 2 yrs plus to find it. The title is the answer i have found for myself. Making a difference to others' lives. Be it a friend, spouse or others, be compassionate to people around u. Knowing what you have done has made the other parties happy, makes me happy. That's when i enjoy true happiness. This purpose in life, in which we are trying to find, tends to be sth simplistic yet powerful.
Just like what Mark always said to me, everytime he taught me about things in life, 'You do not need to realise or fully understand what I told you, you need time to realise that all these make sense.'
I guess, he left a big impact on many of my thoughts in life. Take your time, dun think so much, eventually you will find your answer to what you want in life. Work and play hard =)

Alright, my first blog entry as a 21-yr old...Received a lot of birthday wishes from everyone, be it via facebook or sms or better still. This year, me and YS decided that due to our busy timings, we did not organise any major bashes for our 21st. For mi, family issues were the major reason for me not to organise anything. I was having a long-distance sms convo with Suyi about what happened to our grandpa and our mum. Mum might have a suspected lump at her neck area, and she has to undergo surgery to determine the detriments of this lump.
While my grandpa is terminally ill and bed-ridden in hospital, everyone in my family were 'mobilised' to take care of him. I have to confess here that, whenever I go to visit him, seeing how feeble he was, makes mi so miserable. Sometimes, I always have second thoughts of stop visiting to stop myself from getting miserable time and time again. However, I admire him for his determination to live ever since his cancer was discovered to have spreaded to other parts of his body two yrs back. How I wish he can pull thru this as well. Suyi and I were both worried for these two people that are dear to us in this family. I feel for Suyi too, my current hope is that things will improve and will not affect Suyi's mood when she turns 18 next mth. =) Dun worry, meimei, we will take care of everything here. =)

More than Words (Westlife)
Long to play this song on a guitar...even though I am not a guitarist myself. If I happen to pick up playing the guitar, the first song I will make it a point to play will be this song. =) Long-time favourite
Saying I love you,
Is not the words,
I want to hear from you,
It's not that I want you,
Not to say but if you only knew,
How easy,
it would be to show me how you feel,
More than words,
is all you have to do, to make it real,
Then you wouldn't have to say,
that you love me,
Cause I'd already know,
What would you do, if my heart was torn in two,
More than words to show you feel,
That your love for me is real,
What would you say,
if I took those words away,
Then you couldn't make things new,
Just by saying I love you,
It's more than words,
It's more than what you say,
It's the things you do,
oh yeah,
It's more than words,
It's more than what you say,
It's the things you do,
oh yeah,
Now that I've tried to,
talk to you and make you understand,
All you have to do,
is close your eyes,
And just reach out your hands,
and touch me,
Hold me close don't ever let me go,
More than words,
is all I ever needed you to show,
Then you wouldn't have to say, that you love me,
Cause I'd already know,
What would you do,
if my heart was torn in two,
More than words to show you feel,
That your love for me is real,
What would you say,
if I took those words away,
Then you couldn't make things new,(no no)
Just by saying I love you.....

Oh well....
Ya been 6 mths since I last submitted an entry...So there was an urge specially this day to blog. Been in NS for 6 months, experiencing jungle, weapon, obstacle and fitness training....and experiencing the feeling of having to get out of training. It just take a back problem to cause my exit from combat training. However since in camp, when u and ur friens were having convo, one of the common topics will be university. Hmmm, a few of my friends came to ask me about my course in Australia and the learning lifestyle in a foreign place.
However, one superior of mine ytd said sth to me that gave me an impression that he did not know what studying in uni is about...Getting a Bachelor degree in something means being majoring or specialised in tt aspect and it does not mean I am supposed to know everything upon wearing the graduation gown and hat.
But for 6 months, I really miss everything in Adelaide especially those uni days. Those days when we went for lectures tgt, even crashing lects (no one except mi has this kind of habit). There was one particular day when I can still remember...I was rushing for Auditing lect at Horace Lamb lecture theatre...I called Tinyik and asked him to help me 'chope' a seat. He replied 'ok, dun worry we will get the BEST seat for you' Instantly, i knew they were up to something...Then when I arrived at the lect theatre, just as expected, they put mi to sit wif another friend of mine...I saw them laughing and giggling at the upper rows, and told mi that Fiona left the 'BEST SEAT' for mi....oh crap....haha and so then everyone also knew it....crap crap and more crap!
