Back from Brisbane... Beijing tonight ;)

Brisbane is like any other Aussie station. Nice weather.. Winter there now, but ain't too cold. Won't be able to attend graduation back at Taylors on the 1st.

Hmmm.. Entering into this has thought me a whole lot about myself. Seeing the world, meeting new people, experiencing the working world. The experience is beyond compare. How I would have never thought this way just a year ago. I've grown so much, maybe not physically but definitely mentally.

Never would have made it through without such fantastic friends here in Singapore. Before I knew it, I had graduated already and I'm already done with my first solo. Time flies as I fly.

Different days, different flights, different people, different paths. Never could have imagined this is what I would be getting last time. I always told myself, I wanted to be different. I didn't want an ordinary plan. Everyone was leaving for Aussie, that was why I chose America. N now, everyone is studying and here am I flying, working. I could remember the feelings I had when I first encountered my first passenger on my SNY flight. Raw, afraid, shy, worried. And now, I'm on the road to building my confidence, perfecting my work and PROGRESSING in life. I really can't say for sure what whould happen 2 years from now. So many paths to take, so many choices to make... But choices I would love to make, for my life. To see me, moving on in life.

Dear readers,

Your life is for the taking. Grasp it in your palm. Fret not, worry not, complain not, smile and plan! You have it all in you. Now go and conquer the world!

Loves,

-jOhN "FLYING" LiM-

I'M GOIGN TO BEIJING AND SEOUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

woOOooOOOOoOOOoOOOoOOoOooOOoO!!!!!!!

Who'd ever guess that this would be more than exciting!

Dear readers,

First of all, my deepest apologies for not updating my blog due to the inability to connect with the internet. Apart from that, I must say, I have been having TOO MUCH fun here. Honestly, I've never found something I like so much till today. Before I left, I had already knew I would enjoy this, but coming here made me realize I want this EVEN more!

Truly. Its not the freedom, or the ability to engage in vices without being watchesd. Rather, it is the inspiring stories, sincere laughters, different backgrounds, heart warming smiles and love that the people here have really really really shown. I am amazed by just how much I am amazed!

First of all, I've met really fantastic housemates from Malaysia. We're just a bunch of foolish 4 young people, but we're learning from each other. Its just fantastic. Secondly, my "beyond-the-world" batchmates, who are, beyond-the-world? Hahaha. They're just so fun to be with. Never have I gone to another class feeling this way. Filled with excitement, anticipation, determination and enthusiasm.

I've never come to appreciate life in this way. You know the saying, enjoying what you do makes you only very much more productive? I live for that now. Gosh, the instructors are all so experienced and inspiring. Really. One arrow went straight right through my heart on the first day itself. An arrow of inspiration. And now, I bleed inspiration. Hahaha.

My point is not to cause that slight envy in you, but merely to inspire you to find that one thing in life that you will live to do, not do to live! It begins in your heart. I can't put more stress on the importance of being fulfilled in every aspect of your life. This is my fulfillment.

In the words of David Archuleta, "NO ONE CAN TAKE THIS MOMENT AWAY FROM ME". Hahahahaha.

PS: Archuleta was...... -speechless-

I miss each and everyone of you back home. I'd wish you all can experience what I have been experiencing. Truly. Await my sms soon. Will be getting a permanent number asap! :P

-jOhN "soaring" LiM-

This is really IT.

I won't be blogging for sometime now, because first of all, I won't be going down with a laptop, and secondly, due to the constrain of my contract, I am unable to blog about SIA or any of its happenings. Yes. But don't worry, I'll try my very best to include "sceneries" as much as I can when I start flying.

Again, I MUST apologize for the rush in leaving. Really, I didn't expect it to be so soon either. It was on such short notice, and before I know it, I had my finals and now I'm off. I'm so sorry to the people that I didn't have the chance to meet up or to even inform. But I am in open arms to welcome you if you ever come by the little isle of Singapore.

Now, let us see how life with unfold itself. With these little baby steps forward, I step into the world of reality and strife. With perserverence I shall succeed.

To the fearful, stand up!
To the meek, voice out!
To the shy, step up!
To the defeated, look up!
To the fallen, BELIEVE!

Farewell my fellow friends. My best wishes. May you keep your eyes on the GOAL you have set, may you stay focused and strong. May I be steadfast to stand the winds of change.

God, please bless my friends (=

-jOhN "fly away with me" LiM-

Yeah, the cats out of the bag...

Here's how the story goes, Yes, John Lim is leaving Malaysia for good this Monday.

First of all, I must say farewell to my fellow friends here in KL. Really, it is to my greatest regret that I am unable to meet a number of you due to time contrains. I just ended my finals today and I'm flying off this Monday. So, as you can count, I don't have much time to pack, get ready, and meet everyone. Forgive me. But on the lighter note, you can come down to Singapore and have a cup of tea with me!

Yes, Singapore. Why? Well, John Lim is going to be a Flight Steward with SIA for the next 2 years. Yes. You heard right, Flight steward, Flight attendant, Cabin Crew (coffee or tea sir?).

To keep it short and simple, due to financial contrains, I am putting my studies on hold to pursue this. Simple as that. But do not fear, cum 2 years from now, John will be over in the states continue what he has left. So in other words, it is a win-win situation. Travel + Study = Fun!

Well, I'm really looking forward to this experience. I shan't explain much, but if we have to opprtunity to speak personally to you, I would love to. But I shall leave this as it is now.

But hey, on the bright side, its JUST Singapore (dang it!) Hahahaha..

Farewell my dear Malaysianites!

Wherever life may take You,
It shall never break You.
Each precious stone,
Each growing experience will never fail You.
Grow from each,
And reach beyond the skies.

Cheers to the unconventional and unexpected.

-jOhN "bids farewell" LiM-

ps: sorry for the minor shock.

This is Good. Impressive. Stumbled across this site. Take a look, and probably even drop a prayer. ^^)

at the same time, You'd have time to hear this... hahahahaha.. Sorry, I just have to...

Enjoy :)

If you thought his performance was phenomenal, this is beyond this world.
I'm split between the Davids.

The Davids are the Goliaths in this game. Don't play play ;)

A Must!... Pretty please? :) If you're familiar with the Mariah version, this is an absolute 756 degree turn.




^^)

American Idol is sure my marijuana.

-jOhN "high" LiM-

If I'd knew every word that could describe You,

I wouldn't dare to try to describe You,

Because You are beyond any word or adjective

You are just You

But the question is, where are YOU?

Howdy ghost readers :)

I hope the week is doing fine for ya. I'm trying to keep up with my mind. Its been messing with me, as usual. Finals is just around the corner, then I'm officially free from ADP. Yes dudes and dudettes, it is my final semester in Taylor's ADP and I'm moving on. To where you ask? To my next stage in Life. The future really seems unclear at this point of view however I do believe that things will sort themselves in due time.

You know, I need a sign man.. Like, am I the only one that thinks excessively? That over think things and scrutinize every part of life? Well, or should I just say am I the only one that sees the darkness I everything? I'm gonna lay rest these few words here tonight. Doesn't seem to give a right picture of me. But then again, this is a part of me. Urgh right back to confusion. That's me :)

Quotes worth the read, compliments of Juno

"Loving you when you're in a good mood, bad mood
Loving you when you're ugly, pretty, handsome
Loving you for exactly who You are
The right person is still gonna think the sunshine is out your ass"
-Juno's Dad-

"Your part time lover and a full time friend,

The monkey on the back is the latest trend,

Don't see what anyone can see,

In anyone else, But you

Here is a church and here is a steeple,

We sure are cute for two ugly people,

Don't see what anyone can see,

In anyone else, But you

We both have shiny happy fits of rage,

I want more fans, you want more stage,

Don't see what anyone can see,

In anyone else, But you"

-Juno & Juno's Love-

"I think I'm in Love with You... For real..
Cause you're like the coolest person I've ever met and you don't even have to try..."
-Juno-

Being apart from You just breaks ever string in my soul.

You're the Last person I want to kiss goodnight and first person I want to see in the morning.

I will wait. For the day, I see eye to eye with You.

It is sure worth the wait. For You.

I miss you like shit.

-jOhN "JLL" LiM-

Castro leads the pack tonight. Extremely impressive. Everyone in the pack is so diversified and special in their own way (with the exception of Kristy Lee Cook of course!). Its gonna be hard letting go of them after Kristy leaves... Her time is up.

On another note, life has been, life. Exams are in 2 weeks then, life and it's mysteries will unvail itself. We'll wait and see for now.

Probably might lockdown this bloggy soon d. And start some mysterious blog somewhere else anonymously. It has been on my mind for sometime now. Just writting to thin air, expressing random thoughts and feelings. Its a good way of releasing hidden thoughts and the unconscious mind.

Till then, enjoy every crisp of John Lim you have now (though I'm sure you're not really loving it anymore). Toodles lovely people of the world.

-jOhN "dreaming" LiM-

Don't you try to wake me up.
I'm trying to dream out loud.
I really can't seem to see and feel it anymore.
I can't find a puzzle to fit a piece of me.

A piece to lend an ear to, Dreaming Out Loud - OneRepublic.
It makes so much sense.

-jOhN "dreamin out loud" LiM-

OMG. If you know me, I had never liked rock. Never.
But Mr. Cook sure knows how to cook something up.

Kudos, David Cook, kudos. Very impressive. Top gunner in the game.
Archuleta better pick it up before I throw him out the window~

"In everything you do, seek wise council."



Thank You. Really, thank you. Never would I have seen that part of the whole picture. You have opened my eyes to a whole new way of looking at things.



At the end of the day, its not what I will do, but why. The reasons behind it, the motive, the primary objective, the driving force.



I have to get some things right. Time to face reality. Time to look deep into my intentions. Its time.



-jOhN "thinking, again" LiM-



its times like this, i'd wish you were beside me to guide me
its times like this, i'd wish you were here to be my wings
its times like this, i'd wish you were my sun to shine
its times like this, i'd wish you were my comfort to fall on
its times like this, i'd wish you were here to laugh with me and at me
its times like this, i'd wish you were my right decision.

I know, that all things will work out for the good. Soon, somehow, someday I will understand. Thank you.

A critical turn in a critical point of my life.

An interesting twist to my life's story.

A change I'd never expected.

But as I welcome change, I pray happiness and fulfillment will trail on.

My friends, soon, I shall bid farewell. Seriously.

I'm feeling sick and hopeless,

Down and depressed,

Lost and dumbfound,

At the end of the road.

When will I see the light again,

When will I see truth again,

It seems like life brings no meaning anymore,

No, life means nothing anymore,

Where has it all gone to,

Disappointed and dismayed,

Disturbed and destroyed,

Here I am tonight, at the brink of compulsion,

Here I am tonight in tears, crying out for what I don't understand,

Here I am tonight, shattered,

I am tired. Really tired. I need a negotiation.

I need a persuasion. I need affirmation.

I need a solution.

I need help.

I am drained as I wait. When will a ray of light seep into all these darkness around me? I need my weekly dosage of morphine again. Sigh. Need endophines. Need Happy placebos. Need cure to this sickness. Need solution to the problem. Need an end to it all.
Death seems so tempting right now~
