Never Been To Me
Hey lady, you lady
cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother
and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about
the things you'll never do
But,
I wish someone had a talked to me
like I wanna talk to you.....

Ooh I've been to Georgia and California
and, anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacher man
and we made love in the sun
but I ran out of places
and friendly faces
because I had to be free
I've been to paradise
but I've never been to me...

Please lady, please, lady
don't just walk away
'cause I have this need to tell you
why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me
still living in your eyes
won't you share a part
of a weary heart
that has lived million lies.......

Ooh I've been to Nice and the Isle of Greece
while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings
and I've seen some things
that a woman ain't supposed to see.......
I've been to paradise,
but I've never been to me.......

Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie. A fantasy we create about
people and places as we'd like them to be.
But you know what truth is?
it's that little baby you're holding and
it's that man you fought with this morning
the same one you're going to make love with tonight
that's truth, that's love.........

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children
that might have made me complete
but I.....I took the sweet life
I never knew
I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring
the subtle whoring
that costs too much to be free....
hey lady......
I've been to paradise......
but I've never been to me.........

I've been to paradise
but I've never been to me....

I've been to paradise
but I've never been to me..

Seven Wonders

Ever wonder what are seven wonders? Seven Wonders of the Ancient World The final list of the Seven Wonders was compiled during the Middle Ages. The list comprised the seven most impressive monuments of the Ancient World, some of which barely survived to the Middle Ages. Others did not even co-exist. Among the oldest references to the canonical list are the engravings by the Dutch artist Maerten van Heemskerck (1498-1574), and Johann Fischer von Erlach's History of Architecture. A gigantic stone structure near the ancient city of Memphis, serving as a tomb for the Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu - The Great Pyramid of Giza A palace with legendary gardens built on the banks of the Euphrates river by King Nebuchadnezzar II - The Hanging Gardens of Babylon An enormous statue of the Greek father of gods, carved by the great sculptor Pheidias - The Statue of Zeus at Olympia A beautiful temple in Asia Minor erected in honor of the Greek goddess of hunting and wild nature - The Temple of Artemi...

Impian Country Resort, Hulu Langat

Image
Last weekend, 1st & 2nd September, 2007 at Impian Country Resort I joined my sister with her "Perkhemahan Motivasi 2007" for Program Integrasi Pendidikan Khas, SKTG. She's busy with all the activities, so I have to take care of her sons. At first I thought of join her jungle trekking but I can’t leave my nephews with my mom in the chalet, so I accompanying them "berendam" in the small river & waterfall. Nice place for small kids, school children, youngsters especially for motivational courses but for adults I don’t think it's a challenges place to go. To know more about their activities and facilities available, please check this out… http://www.mindvision.com.my/impiancountryresort.htm

Muzium Negara & Sepang Goldcoast

Last school holiday, I spent one weekend with my nephews... On Saturday, we went to National Museum. We move from the house around 10am and ended our visit about 4pm... wow... a long visit to only one place... but they had fun.. for them going out of the house, hanging and walking around and eating out is more than fun and that is what they want most other than going to the beach. At Muzium Negara The photographer gave me flower, bunga raya (hibiscus). the peace sign, everywhere... My junior photographer took this pic... quite nice huh! All of us at Muzium Orang Asli On Sunday... At first the planning was only Sepang Goldcoast, but we got one wedding invitation in Banting... So, all of us going with two cars. From Banting to Sepang Goldcoast is about 30km, so if you are coming from KL, take the KLIA road, much nearer. The kids a bit sad coz at first they thought, they will be allowed to swim and playing on the beach but when we got there it's a bit late and all the adults don’t...
