The Climb

Miley Cyrus -The Climb lyrics
Songwriters: Alexander, J; Mabe, J;


I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa






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

I feel so much connected with this song right now. It is just like describing how I feel at this moment. Yes, the climb. I shall really sit down and figure out the missing puzzle. And guess what? I am not going to give up my dream. Not till I reach the peak.

Cosmetic Can Drag Down Self-Confidence

Remember my previous post on Make-up Or Naked?
Well, I have something to say.


Previous Facebook Status:
An aunt said, "Woman without make up is like not wearing clothes. Gosh! I just realized I am naked all the time.


I do agree with her because women who are too used to make-up will look 'terribly naked' on the face if they don't apply the basic: Foundation cream, face powder, lipstick, lip gloss, mascara, eye shadow and eyeliner. Another word for naked will be: Pale.




Very often, I realize females who are too depending on make-up products will have less confidence on themselves if they go out without applying any. That's why most of the celebrities dare not step out from the house without make-up even within their own house compound.


I wonder why it becomes such a big deal?



Let just take myself as an example. 2 years ago, when I was working for Khoon Hooi as a part time sale assistant, I had to put on make-up everyday. The thicker, the better. I mean as long as it is presentable of course!

And.. errr.... I don't mean like a Chinese Opera performer.
Something as normal as this:





Before I worked for Khoon Hooi, I had never put on make-up on my face if not for school performances. That's explain why I had never heard of foundation cream, let it alone from RedEarth when a girl from Sasa introduced it to me one afternoon when I was haunting for make-up stuff a day before work! At the same day, I have learned that make-up products are not cheap!


Well, straight to my point. I applied those chemical products from day to night, 6 days a week for almost 2 months. Let's guess what I gained? I gained sharper eyes, sparkling lips and smoother skin whenever I put on those make-up. Thanks to the sale girl from Sasa for giving some tips.


It doesn't take me long to come up with this theory :
With make-up is beautiful. Without make-up is ugly.






The theory was proven when I was back to my campus again for my first class during that semester (to my ordinary days). I felt uneasy staring at my pale face in the mirror as in the reflection was showing a strange girl. I didn't have the courage to face my course mates for too long because I felt something was missing on my face. Mr Confidence had slowly walked away from me.





It didn't take me long to realize what was actually happened on myself. It was so-called an addiction over make-up products. I was too depending on them and stupidly wanting them to be applied on my face 24/7. Self-esteem was shaken and I know I got to do something in order to gain them back.


I keep posting mental notes to my brain, persuading that I do not have to depend on those products to make me beautiful. Of course, I am back to normal again - not having the urge to use make-up products during classes! Classes also refer to ordinary day, non-occasional day.




Cosmetic products can turn any ordinary girl into a Cinderella (who is meeting her prince in the castle). There is no lie. It can even improve one's confidence by being a stand out in the crowds. That's why company selling make-up product always make good fortune in the market. They work like magic and I am glad they help me when I need them.





However, we have to be sure of one thing: Never let cosmetic products eaten up our confidence over our own beauty. We are unique and born with own natural beauty. No matter how, we are still who we are with or without these make-up products. Just, I personally fell that it will be better to take good care of our health rather than just beauty.


In conclusion, being naked most of the time isn't a bad thing.
Right?




Again, I mean the face.

'Make-up' or 'Naked'?

My last Facebook status was one of my favorite collection so far. I received good amount of responses from my Facebook friends and mostly, guy replied in a very creative way. Don't believe me? Click on the picture below to enlarge it.

P/s: What an unorganized size of pictures. Should really learn my edit photos properly.. sigh..



Now I am wondering, are they attracted with the word 'make-up' or 'naked'?

Sea Shell Museum And The Beach At Sanya

Yes. The Sea Shell Museum which is one of the must visit area if you are in Sanya, China. I can't remember how much is the entrance fees. Anyway, what you can find in Sea Shell Museum is of course: Sea Shells.




What do you expect?
Lol..


This is where you can find your pearls..

The thorny shell.

Star fish! I feel like wearing them like the mermaid.
I mean on the head!





The Angel Wings, one of the famous seashells in Sanya. Do they really look like a pair of angel wings?


Cyrtopleura costata linnaeus


Well partly, I am just joking. I don't mean you can only get seashells in this area. Besides the sea creatures, you can get your feet walking on their famous beach too. Frankly, the museum doesn't attract me much, except the gift shop in which I can get lot of beautiful handwork there.


The walls in the exhibition hall. Creative isn't it? :)



I just had a very quick snapped on those selected shells which I think are unique before heading to the beach which is located not far away from the exhibition hall. The tourist guide, Ah Li was pretty sure that we will like their Sanya beach (Hainan Province, China).


True enough that the beach did attract us. I mean, a lot.






The soft sands, the clean sea water, the friendly surrounding and various of water activities have really stolen my heart.

*gasp*





You see. I hardly write anything on the sand. It is too soft to hold my alphabets. I wonder, is Pulau Redang (Malaysia) sands as soft as this? Anyone be there before?







The massage corner.



I want to ride on the speed boat, the banana boat, sail on the mini ship, diving, snorkeling and whatever I can do on the beach! But sigh..... Ah Li never told us we'll visit the beach. I felt like a stupid girl, wearing sport shoes, long jeans and a vest to the beach. Well, it is not just me, but my entire family wore something similar as mine.


What can I do other than taking self portrait pictures?
Not going to waste the chance.





Bad tourist guide.
:(


There is a small garden just above the Seashells Museum. Nothing else special other than the unique statue.









Again, thanks to my cousin Kiiro for taking good pictures of mine - undeniable. He should get a DSLR.

Dilemma

My head is cracking. I still can't make up my mind.
Uurrgggghhh....


What should I choose??!!

To take photography class or art class?



I like both and I can't take both. How pathetic. Choosing is always hard, especially when you have only two options and both are what you want so much in life. Why do I have to deal with this at this moment?





Gosh! No third option?

I Actually Like Him, But Too Late

Just a day, the news of our Legendary Pop star death spread like wildfire via the media. Of course, the Internet plays an important role in this case and right now, nearly the whole globe know about it.





Who don't?
Our King of Pop has left us forever.








I thought I wouldn't feel much upon his death since I am not a huge fans of Michael Jackson, not as much as my mum. However, the mainstream has unconsciously penetrated my heart, causing it to ache in pain. Those repeated news from the media upon his death have forced me to receive the truth, that Michael Jackson do mean a lot to me.







I want to hear his voice.
I want to watch his sexy dance.
I want to see him, moon-walking.
I want to imitate his white socks, black shoes.
I want to watch his performance in the world tour concert.







You see. I was born with his voice and dance. I watched him with my parents when I was still an infant. I see people trying to imitate him from time to time, be it his style in dressing, hairstyle, voice, dance or attitude. Well, even till now. Just look at Britain Got Talent. How many contestants sing or dance his song? I mean each year?







True enough, there is no chance I can do anything about it, not even able to hear anymore news on his plastic surgery nor child molester accusation. This charismatic, legendary entertainer has left us with his contribution to the world - his voice, his dance and his story. I believe his name will be remembered for another century or more even in the coming generations.






MJ, you will always be in my mind and I appreciate whatever you have contributed to the world. May you rest in peace.
