Its wasn't the best show I've seen...

Its not about being Inspired...
Rather... its gave many flashbacks...

Flashbacks my life as

Artiste Relations to

an Artiste Manager and

currently my life as the Director of UAN...

why I always love what i do...
its not a job...nor work...

its... a passion... my passion to empower belief.
Embrace Guide & Groom...

Artistes of such... artistes of sorts... artistes of many kind...
all after one dream...

The principal... the teachers...
I am like them... all of them... like why they love what they do...

love the art... love the passion... love to vision... love the belief... love to be responsible.

I love you guys...

Fame 2009... the quotes...the lines... the words... the key... all too firmiliar...

what an inspiration...

The X Factor 2009 - Amie Buck - Auditions 6 (itv.com/xfactor)

Don't give up so easy....

Keep trying....

Because you want it...

But LISTEN... cos the people who know what they are talking about... people who are in the industry alot longer do know a thing or two more...

When you LISTEN... with a mix of RIGHT ATTITUDE... and WILLINGNESS TO CHANGE...

Permits others to believe and help you...

ATTITUDE counts.

MY 1ST SWIM... AFTER 28 YEARS.

Today... I swam...

I swam for the 1st time...or rather... its the 1st time of countless times i swam... I felt I really did swim.

So how I did...a good 5 laps...it was the best... its was an experience.

I was so happy... I came home smiling and close to tears...

MY EXPERIENCE:

When I reached the pool...I was down filled with alot of anger accumulated the last few days...
I hated the thought people could be looking at me... and yes some were...
"look at this fat chick scrolling by to swim?" well... i assumed.
negativity was swimming in my mind...

But I just didn't care... I angered the world so much I just wanted to do what I felt I wanted...

Choice between 2 pools...

OR

I took of my black kimono robe... and I went into the open pool instead of the competition pool.

As I enter the pool... there were couples... and some other human beings.

I just dove into a swim. I wanted to do 5 laps...that's just hit me.

While swimming just merely a few breath of air... I questioned... "Crap! Can I do this? normally can't even do 1 lap properly!"

I was so angry.... I just DID IT... cos I think I can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't gave a thought abt anything else...

As I reach my 1st half of the lap... I was breathless and still anger...cos I JUST WANT TO DO IT.

moving back to finish my 1st lap...I thought " I'm so near yet so far to my very 1st lap...why stop? I tired... but not dying... I can do this... "

I started to ...THINK... RELATED...TO MY FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS...MYSELF. I was rushing to the end of the pool...

when I reached the end of my 1st lap..." F***!"...( sorry I can't help it.) I WAS BREATHLESS

I breathe... and wondered... again..."5 laps? can meh?"

"heck lah... just lai lah!"... I continued... this time... I just looked straight ahead...

And my focus was to finish this 2nd lap...

As I swim... I felt it seems easier... like... not as hard than the 1st lap...

but I started to bump into people who cross paths with me...

I got distracted about the people swimming next to me...

Every time I look and wondered about others or when someone accidentally brushed my feet or arm...I PANIC... I SLOW DOWN...

but i did finish my 2nd lap..." YES!" ....

i went on to my 3rd lap... it got so much easier...I knew the way of my BIG body to swim better...

I finished it with ease...* smiled *

then I took a short break.... it lasted 10 mins...

why? my left foot got cramp.... crap!

it was pretty bad... and I was afraid if I con't to swim... I will stop half way and panic...maybe drown... worse... no one is strong enough to help me from the pool... so i just massaged my foot in the pool for a while...

the cramp was still there... and I really wanted to finish what I decided... 5 laps...i mean it meant quite a bit to me cos I never did 1 lap properly mah... and since I did 3 laps already... it will be damn wasted and disappointed...

I just did it... I did my 4th lap... it was a bit painful for my left foot... but I just went ahead and decided not to think much abt it... but maybe swim slowly and steady...

As I looked forward... the pain seem to go away... and I just con't... slow and steady...

As i swam... I moved away a bit as I see on coming human traffic coming by or crossing... but went back on track to the end...i never stop at all

in the end...I FINISH...BOTH 4TH AND 5TH LAP...

NON STOP...

I wasn't breathless... in fact I wanted to go on... but my goggles snapped...

you see my speedo goggles were with me since 2004... and it obvious it snapped.... it never had such intensive workout with me before...

I smiled and i left... this time... I walked alone... didn't give a crap if anyone looked at me.... don't think they did...

i was just beaming with pride... i knew what i did ... and i woke me up...

REALISATION= CHANGE.

I dedicated this song everyone... and to you. I WISH YOU All the best...you know who you are.

Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough

I dont wanna lose you,
I dont wanna use you
Just to have somebody by my side (do you trust this fact of mine?)
And I dont wanna hate you
I dont wanna take you
But I dont wanna be the one to cry ( but I am...though I'm not)
That dont really matter to anyone, anymore ( which is sad )
But like a fool I keep losing my place
And I keep seeing you walk through that door (All the time...i did try...did you?)

But theres a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know its your heart you cant trust
Theres a reason why people dont stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just aint enough (.....)

Now I could never change you ( we both thought we could...or was purely my foolish thinking?)
I dont wanna blame you ( who am i to blame you...when its your choice)
Baby you dont have to take the fall ( you don't have to...since I'm taking it like a woman)
Yes I may have hurt you
But I did not desert you ( never did...)
Maybe I just wanna have it all (wishful thinking? All I WANTED WAS TO BE THERE)
It makes a sound like thunder
It makes me feel like rain ( its hurts so much...in here..)
And like a fool who will never see the truth
I keep thinking somethings gonna change ( I thought so...)

But theres a danger in loving somebody too much ( there's is...i took it with this risk...)
And its sad when you know its your heart you cant trust ( yes it hurts)
Theres a reason why people dont stay where they are ( but I stood by you all this time...)
Baby sometimes love just aint enough * in tears with a soring heart *

And theres no way home
When its late at night and youre all alone ( I know you feel this way now...but...)
Are there things that you wanted to say (...did you but you didn't... )
Do you feel me beside you in your bed
There beside you where I used to lay ( I was there...am i still standing beside you? should i?)

And theres a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know its your heart they cant touch.
Theres a reason why people dont stay who they are
Cause baby sometimes love just aint enough.
Baby sometimes love just aint enough.

To aim for what you want you sometimes need more than just alot of love... you need to sacrifice...are you willing? everytime something painful occurs among ppl... this song rings in my head... applying to different senarios...

THIS SONG IS FOR YOU..
and... I hope this song is for me too....
