BEK BEK - LAMB ATTACK!!!

First of all, Sorry for the late Photos upload....

I think we all did quite good wif lamb! I am born in the year of the goat.. and i am cooking my comrades...YEAH!!!

Okay, I think most difficult part of cooking lamb this week is the doneness - a.k.a medium...

well, here some tips...

1) Dont touch the meat too much during frenching for the meat is easiy tear out, the juicy easily flow out, and then we are out!!
2) the rack bones should be really clean... hence technique is important...
3) rack bones should wrap wif foil if to be finish in oven
4) unwrap for presentation (college requirement)
5) for medium, the temperature shld be arnd 65 degrees celcius (invest in thermometer)
6) After panfry, Rest the meat before finish oven for at least 5 mins... rest your meat before cutting the meat for at least 1 min.(this can avoid blooding the plate)
7) ALL RED meat should have sauce at least 2 soupspoon full.

My Love For You (2)

I wore back my old shoes,

A dream I fear to fail,
Memories I fear lost hail,

How am I to tell you?
Undying oath I will cherish you,
Renouncing all that i once knew,
To draw a larger and more beautiful view,
I am sorry, you said, it was already due,
No need to hold, there was no morning dew,
God knows you Love me NOT even a few.

Here and then, I sort not to forget,
Even with my soul, i will raise my bet,
Repeating this path, i will not regret,
Engraving it to my heart that i had set.

Does it fit?
Or does it need changes a bit?

Yesterday was no better,
Other days do not matter,
Unifying was just a dream latter.

Keeping my old shoes clean,
Neither to be torn nor to be seen,
Over the years, I will stay as lean,
Without you, what does life means?

Menu 2: QUAK QUAK!!

Okay, this is our second class, and our menu so happened to be DUCK!!
I just thought of something useful of this blog rather than input personal stuff...
Might be useful to some...
DUCK TIPS:
1) Always serve Medium - hence inner temperature is roughly 60-65ºC
2) Always cut diagonal 45º and slice 45º this will make a big difference on the texture of the duck breast when consuming it.. also it is more presentable
3) There seems to be some miss understanding among students of what is gastrique sauce... gastrique sauce is reduction of vinegar and stocks... additional of citrus jus are variations with different names. Tada!!

p.s. sorry for taking the picture late to some guys.. i was late myself... only 1 stove working with a terrible oven and poor time management...my bad!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------



Cons:
§ Duck looks dry (try brushing it with oil, it shines and moists the dish)
§ Try to lay the asparagus at the bottom instead the top (it will be less messy but make sure we can see the tip of the asparagus, but if u insist on putting, i think 1 should do since its a garnish, if not garnish, then put in below)

Pros:
§ I imagine this is quite professionally done
§ colourful
§ Good use of ingredients
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Cons:
§ Risotto is very dry :(
§ Risotto colur not tempting :(
§ The asparagus seems to be more striking than the main dish
§ Vege portion is a little too big (but i think its because i took the picture late)

Pros:
§ Simple yet presentable

-----------------------------------------------------------------------



Cons:
§ Your balls are not tempting :(
§ Should show some meat colour (present it slanting a little bit)
§ The sauce is still watery

Pros:
§ I like your "Unique Ball" Idea
§ Simple yet presentable

-----------------------------------------------------------------------


Cons:
§ Poor choices of colour
§ Need to improve on how to slice asparagus skin (looks like squarish)

Pros:
§ The sauce texture looks tempting
§ Simple yet presentable

-----------------------------------------------------------------------


Cons:
§ Presentation look like Inter-Galactic Space War
§ Asparagus presentation looks unnatural
§ Extreamly Oily jus in shooter glass (probably to fuel the starships)
§ Poor colour combinations
§ Sauces are not properly displayed (looks like explosion of fighters)

Pros:
§ Good Effort in wrapping but color is bad
§ Feel like watching and eating ANIME

-----------------------------------------------------------------------


Cons:
§ Try coat carrots with little oil herbs
§ Risotto looks a little undercook and dry
§ Duck look overcook
§ Everything is too congested in the middle
§ Wait... is that curry leave as presentation?

Pros:
§ Overall is Presentable

-----------------------------------------------------------------------


Cons:
§ Western Nasi Briyani.....with duck

Pros:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------



Cons:
§ The garnishing will be better if in between orange and duck
§ Tip of asparagus is slightly over cook

Pros:
§ Best Presentation AWARD!!
§ Neat and Tidy!
§ Great Effort

-----------------------------------------------------------------------


Cons:
§ What Happened to your duck?
§ Sauce not bright
§ Too much Starch (Starchy Tower of Pisa)
§ Height is for main course not starch items
§ Poor Choices of colour
§ PLate was not cleaned of debris

Pros:
§ Still thinking...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------


Cons:
§ From your website, i sense the taste will be a little oily to the tongue, but cabbage save your life
§ Garnish stalk is too long at the bottom
§ Try not to serve just one mushroom and one carrot

Pros:
§ Great effort in wrapping the starch
§ Sauce is well presented

-----------------------------------------------------------------------


Cons:
§ It makes more sense if you place the foam at the braised red cabbage
§ Is that a diamond shape carrot (you watched alice in wonderland leh)?

Pros:
§ 1st Runner-up for Presentation (could have been no.1 lor)
§ Sauce Presentation is the best

-----------------------------------------------------------------------


Cons:
§ One part colourful, One part dull (opportunity costs)
§ Doneness is slightly overcook
§ Volcanic Idea (with larva at the side)

Pros:
§ Great Effort
§ Good Plating
§ Involve many cooking techniques

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

So after taking all the pictures of your plate... i finally came to realise i did not took mine... HAHAHHAA!!!
heres my self-evalutaion...
Cons:
§ poor choice of colour
§ Risotto is salty
§ Red cabbage should be darker (according to Chef Sauji)

Pros:
§ Presentable

Le Festin

French lyrics:

Les rêves des amoureux sont comm’(e) le bon vin
Ils donn(ent) de la joie ou bien du chagrin
Affaibli par la faim je suis malheureux
Volant en chemin tout ce que je peux
Car rien n’est gratuit dans la vie

L’espoir est un plat bien trop vite consommé
A sauter les repas je suis habitué
Un voleur solitaire est triste à nourrir
A un jeu si amer je n’peux réussir
Car rien n’est gratuit dans…

La vie… Jamais on ne me dira
Que la course aux étoiles; ça n’est pas pour moi
Laissez moi vous émerveiller et prendre mon en vol
Nous allons en fin nous régaler

La fêt(e) va enfin commencer
Sortez les bouteilles; finis les ennuis
Je dresse la table, de ma nouvell(e) vie
Je suis heureux à l’idée de ce nouveau destin
Une vie à me cacher et puis libre enfin
Le festin est sur mon chemin

Une vie à me cacher et puis libre enfin
Le festin est sur mon chemin


English lyrics:

Dreams are to lovers as wine is to friends
Carried through lifetimes, (and) spilled now and then
I am driven by hunger, so saddened to be
Thieving in darkness; I know you’re not pleased
But nothing worth eating is free

My hope is a banquet impatiently downed
Impossibly full, now I’ll probably drown
Many thieves’ lives are lonely with one mouth to feed
If giving means taking, I’ll never succeed
For nothing worth stealing is…

Free at last; won’t be undersold
Surviving isn’t living; won’t eat what I’m told
Let me free, I’ll astonish you; I’m planning to fly
I won’t let this party just pass me by

The banquet is now underway, so…
Bring out the bottles; a new tale has spun
In clearing this table, my new life’s begun
I am nervous, excited; (oh) just read the marquee!
A lifetime of hiding; I’m suddenly free!
My dinner is waiting for me

A lifetime of hiding; I’m suddenly free!
My dinner is waiting for me

A Valentine's Gift

Valentine's GIFT

I had given my heart to you, but Not to linger you said,
I had given my time to you, but Not to waste it you said,
I had given my thoughts to you, but Not to think to much you said,
So this is a gift that i had never given to any special girl,

A friendly hug and a kiss on your cheek,

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

The usual CNY

Chinese New Year

As usual, for almost 23yrs, i hardly have a chance to have a Family Dinner..
Mom work.. Dad work.. My grandma used to cook until she passed away many years back.. so i took over her job... but then.. what is the point now..

On the 29th of the lunar calander, we celebrate while my mom is working outside... she so happened having dinner at a resaurant at bukit bintang, so we took the opportunity to eat there.. just my bro and his wife, my dad..myself and my mom...

We ordered the food as she was about to arrive, thinking we would have nice dinner and chat.. but not just quite as i thought.. when she arrived the food just on time to reach our family table, but she was not... ITs her duty to settle her things... she have "leg problem" but she have to walk here and there... She make sure customers are satisfied before she eats..

She came to us and say, "Eat eat... dont wait for me. I still got things to do..." then we begin to eat without her on the table.. When she do have time,, the food is already cold.. i took some pictures... but there werent a single whole family picture... HAHAH!!

I know could do something about this... i know i can.. I took too long. I took too much time... To my mother, we will have a REAL FAMILY GATHERING soon.. I PROMISE YOU..

Just another God Damn New Year...

The Flying Frog Tool (1)

There was a pond where a frog lived hapily. Its name was BULL. Bull lived like any normal frog would, waking up in the morning looking for flies to fill his stomach and then go back to sleep. His routine repeats everday, until one day.. Bull declared that his current life was boring.. perhaps there were something out there, an adventure lies before him. After a long thought, he packed his little leafy bag of water on his back and a venus fly trap with a few flies in it placed on his waist. He leaped out of his little pond not knowing where he would be heading.

So Bull travel out heading where the sun was that morning. As he travelled he met new friends, and new adventures everyday. Though the journey was tough for a little frog but he was optimistic because what he experiencing was amazing. To solve his supplies, he replenished his water from rains and drains, feed as he travel.

But an adventure soon become terror. As Bull was so focus gazing on the field of colourful trees, he accidentally fell into a well. He was not injured only, the height was not reachable for him. At first, Bull tried to leap and stick to the side of the well, but it was too slippery. After many attempts , he quitted and planned for a new method to escape from the well.

Weeks, had past. Bull's luck failed him. His sanity had left him only with a glimpse of his past. Day by day, Bull can only lok upon the sky. Sometimes, he can see birds flew over the well. But that is something that he can't do.. But at least along his crazy attempt, he did found a method to feed. He just have to leap and hold on to a crack on the wall and wait for mosquitoes.

One fine day, a fly came by. Bull await the moment for the little fly to come closer.. then in an instant he stick his sticky tongue out and caught the fly. "My lucky day!", he thought. Then from nowhere, he heard a different chinese accent and voice talking to him. "Let me go and I promise I will do anything that you wish."

Bull stood for a moment...
"This is just a flick of my imagination", says Bull with the fly in his mouth.

"No, i am quite real. Let me go and all your wildest imagination can be true"

But Bull was still unsure. He stood still for a moment again. Then the voice return to his ears.

"I never break a promise. I will fulfill your dreams."

Dreams? Bull had forgoten about it. "Okay, cut it out! Show yourself!" Bull demanded.

"How can i show myself when i'm in your mouth?" replied the voice.

Bull, feeling much better now, hesistated, but released the fly after it repeatedly begging for it and making fussy noises.

"Look, the only reason i let you go is because i don't like noisy food... You don't know what it's like to have a stomach that acts like a subwoofer! So beat it!" Bull submerge into the well but was stopped by the fly.

"Hey, don't look down on flies. We can do wonders!" fly retorts!
"Like what?" Bull raised his voice. "Do you see anything that you can or might help here? I am a frog that once had a dream to leave a pond, now had his dream amended to leave this forsaken well! And Your ARE ONE TINY FLY!!" and Bull sank deep.

Fly kept quite as it looked at Bull diving into the well. Fly sensed Bull's tears flowing out, as if Bull's tears was the main contribution to the well's reservoir. Fly flew away... Bull, continue his routine as a sad FROG. Alone with a shattered dream. But, it was only 2 weeks later the fly returned to the well with a surprise!!

"As promised, I have returned. Hey frog, you wish to get out from this well, right? Hence, as a token for not eating me, i present you my latest invention! A tool that will have your name carved into the halls of Fame... on your... frog Hall of Fame or whatever your species call it. THE FLYING FROG TOOL!!" Fly raised its wings and arms high proudly as it speaks.

"Okay, so you have return. You have kept your promise. Now, stop disturbing to me and... and...Just leave me be",Bull said a with despair tone.

"At least try out my invention. It won't harm you to try...",pestered fly.

"Fine! Where is it?"

Upon that, fly blew a loud whistle. Then, there were noises and voices at the top of the well that echoes all the way down the well. The suddenly two large object resembling wings of birds was lowered down by spiders and stopped before the surface of the water. The wings was 12 inches long and very light. It was made of thin rattan and silk from silk worms. There was a handle where frog can slip in his hands.

"Slip this into your hand and start flapping!", says the fly.

Neophobia, but Bull did as told. He put his hand in and he began to flap his 'wings'. He failed to lift at first but after a few shots, he got a hang of it... He began to lift himself up... In split seconds, Bull's recovered from his despair. He felt life had returned to his miserable life. His smile was so awesome that it can blind fly for seconds!

As he 'flap' pass the mouth of the well, Bull saw a community of insects and bugs. All were cheering for the Great Escape. Bull, tears of joy was felt.. it went in deep, not just Bull, but everyone...

After the long 'Hi', 'Thanks' and 'Bye', finally, Bull and Fly were alone...

"Thanks... i never thought that this moment can be real forever. I know i will be lost forever in the well, if you didn't came to rescue...", Bull awkwardly express his gratitude to fly.

"Well, you can thank me properly. What is your name?" ask fly.

"Bull, as in Bullfrog James, ... just Bull will do", replied Bull.

"Well, Bull nice to meet you. My name is Shirnie. Shirnie GreenBottle", answered Shirnie the fly.

Bull went silent, shocked and replied "Shirnie? You're a girl!? Well, quite hard to differentiate especially your size."

With a dull face Shirnie replied "Thanks for the compliment and i was expecting a thank you, Bull. So where are you heading now?"

"I now go where the wind blows. These pair of wings that you gave me will bring me further. Hey, why don't we go there together. I promise i wont eat you or your relatives.. i'll be a mosquitarian.." requested Bull.

M.I.T Boom!!

Me in Taylor's Boom!!

Hours ago, i just got a boom by Pn(Mrs).Siti. She asked me a question that i think i have lost track to...

I told her that i am going to Maldives for internship. She had that funny look, but she question a little before booming me.

It goes like this:

Pn Siti: So why did you choose Maldives?
Me : Well, its sinking in 10 yrs. If i dont go now, i might never have the chance ever..

Pn Siti: Sounds like a holiday..

Me : Yar. I really need a rest. I mean i pushed hard in the begining. really need a good holiday.

Now, here comes the boom!!

Pn Siti: James, you are 31yrs old, why r u slowing down...? There are 9 more yrs before you reach 40, and you are slowing down...I am very dissapointed with you. With your current academic results and skills, you can go further... but yet you are slowing down....

I did not explain my curret emotional distress. but she is totally right... i forgot where i stand... i forgot my footstep... i forgot my purpose... i forgot the reason... i forgot my dream...

Her words hit me hard just now... i think i will climb back very soon... i think i can sleep better tonight... i belief i can go further now...

For the girl that I love so much, she is as important... but i think she would want me to focus on "these" rather than her.. If she is reading this, i belief i just put a smile on her face.

For Pn. Siti, THANK YOU for getting me back on track..

M.I.T. Edition 1

Me In Taylor's (MIT)Edition 1
Taylor's have gave me many opportunities. Opportunities that i never thought possible, and they came knocking twice so far...

One, was my future career.. never thought that Taylor's would give me a chance to join their in FHM 09 as part of their team.. and actually won something out of it... Though i wasn't really proud of the achievement as my part in the team was rather like a team player, and I didnt contribute much in the menu... but nonetheless, my resume is by far better..

Apart from this, Taylor's lecturers guided me futher to be the best student in my culinary arts batch. Here, I would like to Thank them. Their guidance was precious to me. I am 31yrs old. I may not need motivation, but i still need guidance...

The second opportunities that Taylor's gave me was a girl that i Loved actually exist, but i failed due to my mistakes and wrong choice of actions.. NO comment to that...

The Special Edition to M.I.T. are my friends. When you are working out there, you will never know when a smile with smut, or a smile with daggers.. But here in Taylor's at least in my group 1 and 2 was, by far, shown the best team efforts i have ever seen in my entire life and they are friends you can laugh with, friends you can hang out with, friends who can keep secrets, and friends who can be trusted...

For some reasons, when i see no purpose to join the degree program, i actually feel, kind of sad... i will miss all of them... sometimes, you just cant let go of the bonds that was built on FAQ (Friendly Assured Qualities)!! At least they don't fake too much... I hate "Mask" Riders!!

So, this year 2010, I chose to further my studies for the sole purpose to get my entire family (including my future spouse's) out of Malaysia. No, its not like I hate Msia, its just there are better opportunites out there than in Msia.. So should I say I love Taylor's ... yar... i kinda like it... but i still don't love it!

Know Your Partner

I had dated only one girl that I love in my entire life.. The rest, well, is an act of "freewill". Hey, they say if you never try, you would never know. So I did as the saying. Never once it work, the rest complain that I love going to an island of my own...

Perhaps its my fault.. i care less of their feelings, their reasons, their emotions. Knowing this, I did nothing when i'm with them. I show no affection towards the relationship, no effort to build the foundations. I am such a mean SHIT! But did i ever tried to court girls?? Yes. But never succeed, if they don't like me. Those who like me is a 90% success. There was one that gave me a reason that I will never forget. As she was crying, she said she find me so perfect, but because she is not (she was refering to something very personal) hence, she couldnt be with me...? Say what? What would I care about that? Look, past is past. History teaches not bleaches.

So what about the girl that I would fall for? I usually study them before i do any initial move. There must have some criteria before I would give a GO sign. I fell for a girl in Taylor's College for two years now... but i only have the guts to tell her after she left! (Yeah, I am a pathetic looser. Well, something happen in between, but i can't take that as an excuse... I made terrible choices..

What do i think about her? She asked me this question in my car the night before i last saw her, I didnt answer her at that time. I pretended, i don't care and i gave a "chin chai" answer. Then, why am i saying it now? I really don't know. I don't expect anything from this either. Well, she is cheerful, emotional, loving, lovely, short, really fatty nose(cute), fair, beautiful, incredible lovely smile, sweet lips, responsible, respect the elders, love the children, independent, family orientated, friendly, annoying, extremely mesmerizing eyes, love to disturb friends of same sex, perfect chin curve, playful, nature lover, sympathetic, peaceful, planner, natural mother, and love to travel and see the world with her own eyes. (she got almost all the qualities I like of a girl)

She is so perfect! Unfortunately, some qualities here are difficult especially the Planner. She would sacrifce anything for a plan to succeed (as long as it is not against the law or her dignity) for this reason, she will always fall into the victim of LOVE PARADOX. Her love and sacrifice fall under the same category call sacrifice love.

To be honest, I foresee that she will build a career for herself. There is no denying that. She don't need help and she wouldn't accept it (as long as there are choices). At age 21 this year, a bright future is awaiting her...

Where do i stand her Love Circle? well, i am outside the ring. K.O. in just 1 min. But the battle will always be there. World Championship title is not once in a life time.. As a friend, I will support her as much as i can and with all my heart. I would be her shoulder to cry on, and her "lifecorder"... if she ever needed it, and that is my lifetime promise.

COMPLAINS

Food and Hotel Competition..

Ohh... god dammmit... I still cant think of a good menu for my coming competition... SEAFOOD and SHELLFISH, Professional category.... with the strees load i have now.. nothing is possible. I dun find anything nice rite now... getting thinner... my pants are loosing up... I really need to see a doctor... I am half dead already...

Get things done.. i think the time you spend thinking to solve the matter at hand has much worth than whinning and complaining... get on your feet and move further than you are now... If where you are standing has nothing... then take a step further... and you might find something.,....

So James... Move FURTHER... MOVE IT!! MOVE IT!! MOVE IT!!

Too Tight, Too Loose

Strings That Are Tight AND Loose

To be honest, how many of us can actually belief that you have found your soulmate? That you would say to him or her that "I LOVE YOU" full heartly?

Some girl would say that SHE would change for a guy, that SHE would love him forever.. that SHE would do anything for him... that SHE would let go everything for him...ceterai ceterai ceterai (from the King and I)

Some guy would say tht HE said that HE would Love her only, that He would sacrifice anything for her, and He would take care of her and make her happy... blah blah blah

Economic Lesson 101:
What if both failed..?
Case Study 1:
Assuming girl or guy meets a new partner...
Can SHE actually forget her ONE? to be with a new partner, and do the same with all her heart when SHE actually had shared it with someone else? From what i have experience... from time to time... i think of the girl that i have said all those to. It has been 10yrs+ and still i can't entirely forget her eventhough i was with some others... Look, be honest, both sexes are the same,.. god have an S.O.P. for humans.. You just can't forget it...

Case Study 2:
Assuming both the guy and the girl from different continent fall for each other...
I think the ultimate question would be can they be Honest to each other...? I found a girl that i truly love... she had my heart accelerated each time i see her , talk to her, or even see her name on MSN or FB... she had my heart doing irregular "execise" for nearly 2 weeks now...just because i know i would not be able to see her in the near future..., but at the same time SHE had someone else in mind... I know she would feel the same for that lucky BASTARD... But, can we be true to each other if the future pulls us together? There are so many "what if" questions that can drive a Love Guru mad.....

Well, String snaps if we pull too tight, and makes no melody if it's too loose... she and I share a same curse.. That we are both hardheaded but we learn to let go at the same time... (though i feel i know why, but i keep asking her why would she let go a guy she finds so perfect)... well, for now, I wish her good luck in her dreams..

Friends

VICKI'S FAREWELL PARTY.........

Seeing friends leaving is becoming a normal thing to me... friends come and go... some we miss, some we wish we are in their shoes instead.. some it are painful..

Well, whatever the situation would be, there are always a common thing exist. We are there to say goodbye because that particular person is a worthy friend or at least there are worthy friends around them...


This is Vicki Pun.. short, very fair, annoying voice with eletronic eyes, but a great person to be with when you need someone to talk to... We will miss you...


This is what we do most of our time at her house... chat chat chat photo photo photo... while she was busy entertaining others..


This is a photo taken from another photo... ironic.. but yeah... well, pretty much important because it was snapped by Vicki... her last shot on us for now...


There should be another guy by the name Alric.. unfortunately he got stuck in a jam that tasted sour, and return home... Huh? Quoi??



My hands are not that long... the girl standing next to me has taken up most of the length... all the way to the end was Hong Jun's..







To dearest Vicki, a friend in need is a friend indeed... well, though i have never asked you for anything (hence it's just a figure of speech), but do take care over there... keep in touch okay? Tell us more about your life there.. So until next time... godspeed and save journey!

D.O.B. it!!

Don't Over Buy IT!!
With the ever on going growth of technologies and programs... i wonder if i ever be able to keep up... btw i think i am way to old for blogging.. my bones might break!!
I was again selected for competition, God Dammit!!... This time, i have doubts...The things i am now facing are as followed..
•sleepless nights since 13th of this month 3-5 hrs a day only(the torture),
•i cant focus my studies since the begining of all classes(the tests),
•i cant make any idea what to do for my menu (the resources),
•i am under scholarship (the requirements),
•i was betrayed by my college(the usual)...

well, like in any hero base story, they fight on...so, i cant fall back now... i have to continue a journey that i have set for myself.. though realising it is going to be hard... chinese say "if u have the heart, a steel rod can be mold into a needle" wow... when i was a kid, the first thing that came into my mind was perhaps the ancient have the ability to stop time, whr they start molding it while everything stop spinning... Viola...and a needle is produced almost an instant!!

anyway... the idealogy behind it does consist of 3 elements namely hardwork, time and motivation... each contribute to form a WILL to do it... from time to time, each element will set a test for us on the WILL we have created... breaks when we don't belief, breaks if we over confidient, breaks if we are being manipulated... so how we do it? Well, maybe this will do...wat do we call a Singh with 2 balls? --Balancing... we need to balance all three elements...

Perhaps i had BOUGHT too much things from Trouble-Mart and store it into my mind.....hey! the Trouble-Mart advertise saying it was free!! so i took it without thinking and without hesitation... I wonder if i ever be able to do it this time... they say u will never know until u try! Yar... very motivating!!.... VERY encouraging!!...

Well, to all my friends going for the FHA competition, good luck!

My Love For You

I belief because those feelings are strong,

Sudden rush that stop time for instant,
Trembling feet visible from a distant,
Invading my very soul which was reluctant,
Loosing control of my limbs over the excitement,
Love that i am ready for commitment...

Laughters and joys is what i want to share you with,
Offering my heart that will never shift,
Vows i did, and i swear over it,
Even the impossible, my love for you will not shake a bit...

Yet, your heart is far away,
Over the land, you choose to stay,
Undeviating your WILL to build a dream you lay...

So I hold your palm onto my chest that day,
Heart that you felt beats until today,
If there is a chance may i say,
Realising your dream i wish you could someday,
Never stop believing as the morning Wednesday,
I will stay in a distance, i would wait at bay,
Even to the end of days, realise your dreams as you may...

And even though i am not the one in your perfect art,
No keys to unlock the songs of your heart, but
Determination i promise you is an offscale chart!! Because

I belief the feelings are getting stronger,

Wanting you, my love for you grew even, because
I have a curse similar to you that was given,
Leverage with our stubbornness is forbiden,
Loving you is what i have determined...

Wondering if it is bizzare,
A heart that you released was locked with a scar,
Infinite love, out there they are, but i choose
To be on a path, where my songs will reach my guiding STAR...

Flow of tears is part the journey,
Or we will not cherish what some say silly,
Rainbow will paint our art slowly...

Yesterday was a history that guide us today,
Our future is a mystery that reflects on what we do presently,
Undeniable, we shall present a gift to our lovestory...

To be continue..
