Thinking of you..

When i freak you understand..

2011-02-04T00:32:00.135+08:00

For decades, i've been in search for an answer..

An answer to the hidden pain where occurrence is barely predictable..

Lively as i may seem now, but the very next second, it could turn me into a statue..

Paralysed..

Paralysed like a statue..

there's only so much air i can take..

and so little i can move..

"when is this going to end?"

"am i going to die?"

those were the only questions on my mind..

Calm as i may appear..

Deep within fear and anxiety creeps upon me..

Helpless..yes..

It's the sense of helplessness that creeps..

i feel like a freak..

It was not until recently that i started to feel better..

coz there's someone out there who's identical as me..

i was relieved..

Very relieved to meet that someone..

But a part of me says "selfish"..

it's not something joyous to celebrate when you know,

there's another soul undergoing the same pain as you do..

Perhaps, i've been yearning for such comfort just to know am not alone..

It's amazing that he knows when it strikes me and the exact anxiety we shared..

I am comforted..truly..

And through his kind support and advice..

i finally have the courage to seek professional help..

For all these, i thank God for the divine arrangement..

am grateful that you've shed light to ease my worries and gave me courage..

Whatever the outcome is,
I sincerely hope that we'll heal and be freed from this misery..

Love,
Cariño

Impressions of the West Lake

2009-05-28T23:51:00.004+08:00

Hi, old pal..
its been years since I last blogged..yes..years..
Times have been busy, draining me out..
Despite having heart-felt messages to my friends,
am not left with much energy by the time am home after work and school..

Today,am back again..
because of an old friend..
A special friend that the modern technology of Internet has brought us together..
He is unique..He is Danny..(n_n)

No words describe how surprised i was upon receiving the gift..
As if,he could read my mind..
I remembered clearly that I told no one about this..
All i did was i searched the local stores, in hope that i could purchase it..

As I recalled months before Beijing Olympics, i saw this MTV
"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_bJZJawiag"
I love the performance..but most of all,i longed for its soundtrack..

Tonight,it arrived..quietly at my doorstep..
"Impressions of the West Lake" - Kitaro,
It was from him..Danny,my soulmate..

Thank you so much,Danny..I truly appreciated it..
Despite my often "disappearance"..you're always still there for me..
Am very grateful for your understanding..
Your sweet thoughts of our friendship has deeply warmed my heart..

Thank you so much for being a wonderful friend..(n_n)

Love,
Cariño

Legend of Heavenly King..

2007-07-14T23:00:00.000+08:00

My 12yrs await upon this concert was definitely worthwhile..
Jacky Cheung,1 of the finest male vocalists in Hong Kong,
Often dubbed as God of Songs (歌神)
Well known for his rich baritone voice,wide range
and exceptional interpretative powers.

Was my honour to witness his legendary performance
Live at the Indoor Stadium..
Despite being down with cough,
Jacky was still able to divulge his powerful vocals,
Challenging different genres of music..
from Canto to Mandarin-pop, R&B, Rapping and Musical singing..
Flaunting his passion & professionalism upon 10,000 audience..

Mesmerizing audience with his many well-loved hit songs such as
《吻别》,《每天爱你多一些》,《情网》,《情书》-Love Letter,
《只愿一生爱一人》,《一路上有你》,《爱是永恒》-Eternal Love.
Jacky also dedicated a special memorial song called "To My Friends"
for his lost old friends including Anita Mui & Leslie Cheung..

He sent true sincere messages across as he spoke about himself..

"Am 46yrs old, an age of 46 is no longer young..
I spent 10 over yrs in deep thoughts on,what Life's all about?
How should I live it?
Thou now I cant explain it yet...
But in Life, there are bound to be ups & downs..
Only then,Life's interesting..
For those with unhappy encounters..
When you're sad, gotta be strong, hold on..
And good things will come along your way naturally...Trust me.."

Performing 40 complete songs within 4hrs,
Jacky has successfully demonstrated his ultimate passion and determination towards music..
He's a born performer..
With remarkable confidence, he belongs to the stage..

"The Year of Jacky Cheung World Tour 2007" is a phenomenal..
Lastly, here comes a little vocal tip from our God of Songs;

"Sing with your heart...
As long as you sing with your heart..
all songs shall be pleasant.."

Getting wiLD,King..

SentimentaL love songs,melt us all..

Singing like a RocK staR..

Music to their hearts..

2007-05-22T23:49:00.000+08:00

If i were to relate myself with a musical instrument..
I'll portray myself as an ocarina..
Moulded by the hands of others, from a lump of clay..
I become who I am today..

Dull and plain as I may seem to be..
where simplicity and carefreeness..
are viewed as greatest flaws among eyes of others

My philosophy is simple..
its innate in me that I live for others..
Whom I seek to establish fulfilling relations, gathering peace..
Self-contentment through unconditional love..
In hope that my affection will comfort and ease pain upon others..
Bringing music to their hearts..

love,
Carino

Heaven and Earth..

2007-04-07T21:01:00.000+08:00

After so many years,
eversince she was gone..
it was the first time i dreamt of her last night..

Everything was so real..
she was there in the living room in her favorite chair..
just like those good old times,when i was small..
but this time,she seemed tired..

Her smile didnt change after all these years..
still so gentle and warm as she looked at me..
she said.."he's kind..cherish him.."

then she left..

Woke up in tears..
i missed her so much..
and thought why it ended so fast..
it was as if she was trying to tell me something..

i know she had always doted us..
We maybe far apart in distance,
but never in our hearts..

love,
Carino

Unforgettable birthday..

2006-11-14T23:55:00.000+08:00

Yeah, time flies..
Am another year older..

This year, things are abit different..
No big gatherings or celebrations..

However, I was very honoured..
to have a bunch of wonderful colleagues who planned a birthday surprise for me..
Knowing that i love music more than my life..
They reserved a karaoke room during lunch..
Where we sang to our hearts content..

Knowing these pals, is one of the best things that have ever happen in my life..
Our friendship is built through laughters, encouragements, crappy jokes..and even angry tears..
Working with them..I feel as if im 19..
In fact i wasnt that hyper when i was 19..("p)

Many times, I wish i could have met them earlier in my life..
It is this friendship that ease my pain of sad memories..
Its also the bond we share that makes me believe in friendship again..
And most importantly..that totally break me away from exhaustion..
Bringing me back to my old carefree self again..

Long before i learnt what pain was..

Thank you,folks..
for giving me an unforgettable birthday..

ps: This yr's birthday gift is full of Wang Lee Hom..A song "Forever Love" sends my thoughts to 3 guys..You may not notice, but still..Thank you,boys..for all the wonderful memories..

love,
Carino

Beautiful Innocence

2006-09-16T22:30:00.000+08:00

Today's a cloudy day..
The weather was exactly how i felt deep in my heart..
Tough decisions were to be made..
I must admit that i was never good at departures..
However, due to my priorities,financials,I was left with no choice..
but to sacrifice my precious vocal course..

Before i part good-bye to my teacher, i wanted to give him a little something..
To thank him how wonderful it has been,
To bring music into my life..
And so i decided to get him his favourite coffee vouchers..

As i sat there awaiting for those vouchers to be delivered..
I saw him playing..
Where his parents were enjoying their hot brews..
He was just an arm distance away from me..
But our minds were a world apart..

A typical 2 year old boy in baby blue tee..
Never appeared so adorable to me..
This little chap was really active and sociable..
Climbing up and down the benches every now and then..
Smiling at me with different hand signs every few seconds..

It was amazing..
As i watched him play..
Our minds seemed to connect..
Though he couldnt speak yet..but he could sense that i was upset..
Looking at me doubtfully, trying to make sense..then smile again..
Time seemed to fly as i watched him..
Unnoticeably, i began to smile too..

Never knew that watching a kid play can feel so wonderful..
For a second, i wish i could keep him..
As i moved on for my vouchers, he uttered "buh buh" and wave good-bye to me..
That simple action really touched me..

There was something just so beautiful about him...
That made me felt so simple and contented..
It was his joy and carefreeness..

His beautiful innocence i wish i could own..

love,
Carino

Sending my thoughts across the globe..

2006-08-02T11:33:00.000+08:00

Yes,..its been a long time since i last blogged..
As promised, Danny..it'll be a happy post this time round..

Time is indeed an amazing element,
that does wonders in shaping a heart..

The way i am today, was the last thing on my mind..
Songs were shutted completely out of my life for 18 months..
There was no way i could relate myself out of darkness,
Couldnt even sing despite being my greatest passion..

Im glad that i made the right choice; taking up a vocal course..
Wasnt just a plain singing class..
but a wonderful life lesson learnt..
I must say, im very grateful to meet new pals..
and of course, my vocal teacher..

Every saturday,i look forward to meeting them..
Through joy and tears, we learnt life experiences, friendships & music..
Where he'll guide and encourage every single soul..
Nurturing, bonding us into more confident individuals..
Thats something i never expect to learn..

Being able to sing now,
Music's the only place where i can spread my wings and fly
Am glad that i've found my light..
Thou i may not be the best vocalist..
but i hope i can always fulfill what he taught..

"Unfolding every story a song has to tell.."

love,
Carino

2006-08-02T10:18:00.000+08:00

this is where i found my light..

Weeping heart..

2006-06-18T15:38:00.000+08:00

It was a warm afternoon...
You showed up,when I thought you wouldnt..

Though,we were just an arm distance away..
but you felt like a distance I could never reach..

Up the escalator..
I approached you with a gentle pat on your back..
Your head remained low..
Unusually calm and quiet..

Giving you space,I stepped back..
And followed your footsteps..

As we walked on the next 15 minutes..
From the alley to the school..
Our eyes never met, no words spoken,..
Just silence..

I guess that was the best way..
the only way to show my care and support..

Though you never shed a tear...
but I could feel that...

Your heart is weeping quietly,...
weeping on the memories, the love..

and the aisle..
you could have walked with grace..

love,
Carino

Powerless

2006-05-19T16:59:00.000+08:00

Perhaps it was because of my past..
How deep I fell..
The helplessness..fear and darkness..
I can never forget in my entire life...

It taught me well..
Very well enough to break away my old self..
Like a snake, I shed in terrible pain..
Into a better person..
A much stronger being that I never imagine..

They said, I've changed..
maybe..

And perhaps of all those pain..
All those depression, emotional torture..
I've learnt how to let go..
But another part of me,
I yearn for perfection..

Perfection not only in myself..
But everyone else around me..
Especially when I see them in terrible pain..
Like what I've gone through..
I could see my old self in them..

I strived in every way I could..
To help them..
Help them up, break away their old self..
And nurture the strength hidden in them..

However, many times..
They retreat..and shut themselves out..
Just like what I did years ago..
I feel powerless, devastated..
I hate the feeling of being powerless..

I don't want to see them in pain..but
I don't have that kind of power to control..
To control over their emotions..
I wish I have..

So they will never be in pain anymore..

love,
Carino

Bubbly Christmas 2005

2006-01-17T23:56:00.000+08:00

Christmas 2005 was an enjoyable one..
My xmas eve celebration started off early in the afternoon..
Where my classmates & i held our mini vocal 'concert' at the music school..
hehee..
Each of us sang without mic for the 1st time..
Was kinda scary,but fun thou..=p

My programme followed up with "The Chronicles of Narnia"
and finally a quiet countdown at the church..

This christmas, i sent out two gifts to my both sweetest..
Both gifts were similar..
the 1st, was a CD collection of my favourite music all these years..
In hope, to bring her peace & light through her gloomy days..

the 2nd, was an album of Chris Spheeris's "Essentials"..
which i once lost & recovered..
Sharing with him & his family,
marking our everlasting friendship..

As for myself,
i bought a good book..
"The Tunnel and the Light"by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross..
Giving me the best knowledge on living & dying..
A phase, that everyone of us has to go through in life..
its a book of "light"..

The best christmas gift i ever had..

Carino

Too close..

2005-12-08T22:50:00.000+08:00

It was too shocking..
Could hardly breathe when i saw it over the news..

If you could still remember,a year ago..
i blogged my deadly rollercoaster ride experience
at Escape theme park..
(Title: 14th Annual family chalet)
(http://carinochua.blogspot.com/2004_12_01_carinochua_archive.html)

Unfortunately,it happened last week..
i can truly feel their fear,
when they were being thrown out of the ride..
They were just like me...helpless..

Authorities are carrying out investigations..
questions were raised...
"What exactly went wrong?"
"Could it be operator's fault?"

i can answer that being 100% confident..
nothing went wrong..
The ride itself was at fault..
Each seat was only equipped with 1 skinny 'safety' lap bar
No safety shoulder bars to secure the riders..
Can u imagine the impact
when those young sisters hit the concrete floor?
Read on (http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/news/story/0,4136,98346,00.html)
(http://sg.news.yahoo.com/051204/5/singapore181748.html)

Its horrifying..
never realised i was so close to death..
this incident has enlighten me..
My time to meet God's not up yet..
He's kind enough to keep me alive in one whole piece..
Another chance given,
to learn more about Life..

love,
Carino

Sceneries of the heart..

2005-11-29T00:01:00.000+08:00

Have you ever came across, seeing a scenery vividly in your head?
You know, you've never been there physically..
neither have you seen it in a frame..

But somehow or rather,without any particular reason,
it has been re-appearing in your mind..
every now and then..

I have these "sceneries" eversince i was in primary school..
it could be due to my pictorial mind,
but it bothers me, like a vision,
which i can't control..

Mysteriously,some of these "sceneries" did occur in reality..
while others remained as moving paintings in a frame..

i see different sceneries at different stages of my life..
most of them were in first person view..
I could feel my emotions in that particular "scenery"..
its like a dream so true..
Amazingly,some of these "sceneries" helped me..
in making important decisions of my life..

It could be a gift from heaven..
a gift to guide me through my difficult times..
i called it "Sceneries of the heart"

If you're experiencing this kind of vision too..
try recording them down on paper..
treat them as messages..
and you'll understand..

"First encounter" is a drawing of my latest "scenery"..

any idea what its trying to convey?

love,
Carino

My apologies to you, folks..
Yeah..has been a long time, since i last blogged..
Heheee..

Have been busy with examz..
as usual for every student, when it comes to October =p
Here's a little update about me..

Some friends left, while others reunite..
Life goes on..when everything else changes..

Guess, i've finally learnt how to let go of certain matters..
thats why i am happy with the way i am right now..
trying out new stuffs, picking up new skills..
Living my everyday to the fullest..

The journey to contentment and happiness is aint easy..
Coz, many were blinded by the wealth and materialistic world..
They thought, they were happy..
But its only when you've been through so much..
then you'll understand,
its those little things that make your day..
And Happiness is not what you hold in your hand..
but how you feel through your heart..

I may not be rich..but,
At this point of time,im contented with my life..
and everything else i do..

i hope..
you're on the same path with me as well..

to Happiness..(n_n)

love,
Carino

No regrets..

2005-09-07T00:03:00.000+08:00

Heee...yesh,for the past few weeks..

I've been having fun..
Lotsa fun i would say..
Perhaps of my social influences,
Realised life is very short..

There are alot things that can only be done,
When we're young..
Opportunities are not always there anyway..
Once its gone,..its forever..

Hence,im pushing myself to put hesitation to the minimal..
Tears or laughter..
Just let it out..
Do whatever that makes me happy..

Living everyday as the last..
Living it to the fullest..
Well, i may not lead a very successful life...
But I hope one day, when i look back..

I can smile and say..

In this lifetime of mine,..
I was happy...

no regrets..

love,
Carino

Our K-lunch..heee..

Singapore, my home..

2005-08-10T23:41:00.000+08:00

9th August 2005 was the 40th birthday of Singapore.

This year's national celebration is divided into different sectors.
Im of course, back to my old neighbourhood..
Where i spent my past 16 years..

Back to the old neighbourhood,
Same buildings and people were all around..

1st time the nation's celebrating its birthday through the satellite..
The nation's favourite tunes were ringing in the air..

"This is my country..this is my flag..
This my future..this is my life..
This is my family..these are my friends..
We are Singapore..
Singaporeans.."

"Count on me Singapore, count on me to give my best and more..
You and me, we'll do our part, stand together, heart to heart..
We're going to show the world what Singapore can be
We can achieve, we can achieve.."

The most touching event of the night..
was not the fireworks..

But the moment,when the national athnem was played..
Everyone stood up at attention..
And sang the national athnem together..

Never seen Singapore like this before..
I was really moved and proud to be a Singaporean.
Knowing that no matter what happens in future,

Singapore,
is the only place i call..

home..
