The beginning :)

These past few weeks I’ve been travelling a lot. I spent a 5-day trip to Melbourne and Auckland, then another 5-day trip to Singapore and Brisbane. For a lot of people, it’s exhausting and mind-wrecking just to have one of these in your roster.. But something wonderful happened to me in one of these trips…
I was amazed how I ended up flying with one of the most amazing crew in these destinations. I met Courtney, our Captain on the flight to Singapore and Brisbane. Surprisingly, he was gifted with photographic memory, and he could remember so much that he could (incredibly) remember things when he was still a baby! I secretly wish I have the same. Ha-Ha-Ha! How easy could it be for me to pass any exam just by looking at books? And how easy would it be for me to paint and draw just by glancing at something? I feel lucky for him.
We chatted a lot. He saw me sketch something and he said his daughter was an artist. I was inspired how he supports his daughter, and how he supported me too. He called me ‘the artist’ and told me to start drawing again. Today, I will buy my drawing materials.. and I will start drawing again. :)

Let this be the start of something great…

sailing away

Though it was but cannot be
Time decides to set us free
Deep oceans crave forgotten past
The loss and burden I will cast

And even time decides to heal
Making the heart ready to feel
A scary step to wonderland
Only a map is on my hand

I keep sight of the other shore
It cried and crumbled to the core
Missing the boat that's in the dock
That part is now an empty rock

I bid farewell to sailing ships
Kissing their eyes with tender lips
This boat will be a part of me
Just like an apple to a tree

TRANCE

The heart can not deny
What it longs for, day and night
Sweet, warm, soft caressing hands
Laughter countless such as sands

Every sunshine with the rain
Hope of seeing will remain
Picture-perfect door and pane
Long red carpet in the lane

Petal flicker in the air
People cheering as they pair
White and gold shine as they dance
Time will pass like they're in trance

Tots will come and they will flourish
They will multiply and nourish
As the dark turn into grey
Still the hands will hold and stay

Puzzle held so tight by faith
Shelter armed by shield and weight
Then retire when they're secure
All is well with love so pure

Meteors

Meteors

Isn’t it amazing
When two hearts collide?
Like shooting stars
That’s trying to find

Wonderin’ the universe
In search of meaning
Life really is a big mystery
That is slowly unfolding

Forces of nature
Bringing closer together
To the magical moment
As they vow to forever

Like a perfect puzzle
Crashing meteors in heaven
And the sky fills with fireworks
A great gift God has given
