the world's greatest~

here's a "feel good" song by R. Kelly for all you those that have been muggin realli hard for e prelims... work hard and add oil! =p

I am a mountain
I am a tall tree
Ohhh, I am a swift wind
Sweepin' the country
I am a river
Down in the valley
Ohhh, I am a vision
And I can see clearly
If anybody asks u who I am
Just stand up tall look 'em in the Face and say

[Chorus]
I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
I made it
I'm the worlds greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my backs against the ropes
I can feel it mmm
I'm the worlds greatest

I am a giant
I am an eagle
Ohhh,I am a lion
Down in the jungle
I am a marchin' band
Ohhh,I am the peopleI am a helpin' hand
And I am a hero
If anybody asks u who I am
Just stand up tall look 'em in the Face and say

[Chorus]
I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey I made it
I'm the worlds greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my backs against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the worlds greatest

transition?

funny how i'd always been hearin' this word... in many contextes, it would have been to go through a period of change, but this word will always have a special meanin to me.

its been funny year this year.. dunnoe why when it gets to the second half of the year, you often hear about people havin' been afflicted down with diseases or have become terminally ill.. it was like this last year, and its no difference this year..

mdm toh called in this mornin... her dad had a heart attack... dunnoe about the scale of it, but bless the poor man.. he's always been a pillar of strength to her, and she'd always did keep mentionin abt him in one of the many stories she always did tell in class. i do hope that its something minor though...

it kinda brings back bitter memories, when i lost my godpa to some cancer and my grandma to old age last year.

godpa, we(and my sisters) used to call him "kai3 ye3" in cantonese... would always remember how he would give his advice on whatever we were doin... he was our neighbour, so we did always go over to visit him durin chinese new year and christmas, where he would buy presents for us... he was a great man, probably one of my role models in life. and he's gone.

grandma was another sad case.. somehow i feel that she was a tragic character.. though she stayed with us for over ten years when i was young, and the fact that she had five children, she was left in a nursing home in the later part of her years... i kinda feel bad, b'cos she really was a nice, quaint old lady who took very good care of me.. but due to some disagreements between my parents and our uncles... (though i got the impressions that my uncle were due to blame)

remembered there was one day when i received a phone call from my mom, askin me to go visit her in the hospital.. but since i had some cip at the bird park, i'd told her "tomorrow then"... never realising that i would never get the chance to, as she passed away in the evening... this was one of my great regrets in my life, and has always been so..

so dear readers, do take some time to go have a nice chat with your loved ones... life is short, so do spend it wisely. god bless.

expectations?

its a sad sad day for singapore, really.. ronald lost. singapore lost. guess it really wasn't his day, i suppose... his opponent was playin the game of his life... the net kept gettin in the way... and all the unforced errors... maybe it was all due to stress? bad luck? or maybe the heavy burden that we chose go give him when we named him as the man-who-would-give-us-gold.. but i'd still believed you gave your best.. if you fail, keep trying.. there's still plenty more chances for you to go.. team singapore.. you still have a fan in me~

p/s: hope your girlfriend manages to pull it off tonight.. jiayou! =p

dud..

i like the feelin of stayin at home.. eatin home-cooked meals and sharing the solitute with my computer or the tV. somehow.. there usually are lotsa activities to do.. just take todae for example... either to go for some national day dinner or to watch the fireworks... but somehow these events don't really excite me as they used to do a couple of years back. haha.. i'd rather cook my own pasta.. do some work.. practice my guitar... they do seem to have their certain allures...

then again, sitting alone in front of the computer got me contemplatin abt me future.. sitting alone always has got me thinkin'

come to think of it.. if there weren't any expectations of me... i'll rather be a chef than be in other well paying jobs... its somethin tt's been in me.. i've always been interested in cookin... the feelin of cookin somethin and others eatin it happily... it sure goes down well with me. you know, it doesn't really matter that i sweat or toil just to make something... and there's no point in eatin somethin great alone. i'd rather share the fruits of my labour.. the joy of cookin as they say, can't be seen but only felt.. and i'd always lurve cookin' since i was young. at one point i was even contemplating goin for cookin lessons... especially european and japanese cuisines. haha.. then these would always be what it would be.. a dream.. probably never to be fufilled...

unhappy thoughts always make me sad. then again who won't? well guess its time for some happy thoughts: dinner =)


just some random thoughts leaving my head~

Knockin' on Heaven's Door - Bob Dylan

Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' downI feel like
I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
