New Year Resolution


"There is nothing permanent except change"

Over the last year I've experience a lot of up's and down's in my life. It brought joy, anxiety, sorrow which leads to some tears in eyes. Last year saw some relative, friend, colleague and former boss passed away. Some of them were already in their golden years and some of them were still relatively young.

It was like a wake up call for me. How i wasn't taking care of myself like i used to. Just to show you what i mean, this was me a few years back.












Well this is me NOW!!!

And this was me time tak cukup makan!!!


Masa BTN ni, nampak macam sakit pun ada kan....

Can u see any difference?     

This is the reason why I've made it my New Years Resolution to cut the fat off my body. I need to live a healthy life not just for myself but also my family. 

By sharing this, I've made this sort of an official agenda this year. Hopefully by the end of the year i'll achieve my goals. I'll be updating my progress from time to time. Only time will tell weather i'll prevail in this in this enormous challenge.

The Graduate (1967)




A few weeks back when i was still in Colombo, around 4am my son woke up and started crying. Well as a dedicated father i went and made a bottle of milk for my boy. Unfortunately for me after that i can't go back to sleep so I decided to watch the tv. After flipping channel a couple of time, a particular movie caught my eyes. It was an old movie coz i can still see Dustin Hoffman in his teens. 

It was The Graduate (1967). The movie is about a recent college graduate, Benjamin Braddock who is trapped into an affair with Mrs. Robinson, who happens to be the wife of his fathers's business partner and then finds himself falling in love with her teenage daughter, Elaine.

Another plus factor was the soundtrack for this movie which was from Simon and Garfunkel. My favourite song is Sound Of Silence.

 If you have the opportunity please watch the movie coz it's really good....

Song of the day





Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the best if not the best song of all time. Performed by Queen and of course the ever charismatic Freddy Mercury. But my personal favorite is another song by Queen. Maybe it's not as popular as Bohemian Rhapsody but there's a certain aura about it which gives me the strength and picks me up when i'm feeling low. The mentality of it just makes you feel so strong and fearless to face all of life's most difficult and tiring occurrences. 


"The Show Must Go On" is a song which chronicles the effort of Freddy Mercury continuing to perform despite approaching the end of his life. Mercury was so ill and could barely walk when the band recorded the song in 1990.


"The Show Must Go On"

Empty spaces - what are we living for?
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score..
On and on!
Does anybody know what we are looking for?


Another hero - another mindless crime.
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime.
Hold the line!
Does anybody want to take it anymore?
The Show must go on!
The Show must go on!Yeah!
Inside my heart is breaking,
My make-up may be flaking,
But my smile, still, stays on!


Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance.
Another heartache - another failed romance.
On and on...
Does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess i'm learning
I must be warmer now..
I'll soon be turning, round the corner now.
Outside the dawn is breaking,
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free!


The Show must go on!
The Show must go on! Yeah,yeah!
Ooh! Inside my heart is breaking!
My make-up may be flaking...
But my smile, still, stays on!
Yeah! oh oh oh


My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies,
Fairy tales of yesterday, will grow but never die,
I can fly, my friends!


The Show must go on! Yeah!
The Show must go on!
I'll face it with a grin!
I'm never giving in!
On with the show!


I'll top the bill!
I'll overkill!
I have to find the will to carry on!
On with the show!
On with the show!


The Show must go on.

The Journey Begins (maiden post)

For starters this is my maiden post, the first of many more i hope. I've thought of starting my own blog for a while but haven't really got the push to do it.until now. People sometime say "sharing is caring" so this is it, this is my story "the good, the bad and the ugly about my life........"

Sincerely yours.....
