A L O N E..........

I'm alone in a land not my own
wishing there would be a shoulder to cry on
I have heard that change is always there and
Someday I'll find the answers to this loneliness I feel

Things have changed in this journey of my life
different people, different surroundings
these are the things that I must learn to adjust

I can not exchange the familiarity I felt
in my own land
Missing all the things that you are used to
torments me through

But life has to move on
sometimes I need to sacrifice
for the sake of a brighter future
I should always look back
the past that brought me here.

Knowing different people
Knowing different places
these are the benefits that give me strength
to endure the solitude I felt

I know that there would be
something that guides me through
this journey - a better life, a better future
in a land not my own.................

MUSIC: an expression of one's soul

so glad to be back in my music class. i just found a new violin teacher with the help of my vietnamese student. i can practise again and hone my skill in playing the violin. Oh! what a nice day!
music is one of the keys in knowing one's being coz it is where human soul is reflected without any reservation. music has been my great passion since then, even if my parents didn't spend much to develop my skill in music. i tried to develop it on my own. even if it is too late to start i still studied how to play the violin since i like this instrument so much. besides singing, i also like to play this instrument. with my hard work and determination i still was able to learn it rather well. faced with the problems in time for work and some other activities, i still managed to find an appropriate timetable for my violin class.
now just keeping myself busy practising the pieces given by my teacher. music really gives me the strength to go on with work and with life. it gives me the inspiration to soar high and reach whatever dreams i planned to achieve. of course, with the help of the Almighty God, i am sure this would be a task possible to fulfill.

battle against ennui

it was just the same ordinary day doing mundane task. came to the office quite late this morning. it took me time to wait for the buses ( means of transport i use in going to the office) . arrived at the office at exactly 11am oh! i think a bit early for a worker like me who works until 9:30 in the evening. anyway, went to the office, checked pre-test papers, interviewed students and chatted with former students....oh! boredom ......... why won't you elude from me????
