On My Own - Les Miserables

Feeling the meaning of the lyrics...

This may sound cliché , but I really need the wisdom.

~ The Serenity Prayer ~
“God, grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change;

the courage to change the things I can;

and the wisdom to know the difference.”

I'm Home

It’s been 5 months.
I was afraid.
I didn’t know what I was afraid of.
Every step I take,
It seems so familiar yet so strange.
It all felt like a dream.
A dream take I used to have.
Reality began to set in.
I was not dreaming.
I am home.

One Moment In Time -- Whitney Houston

Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I'm only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown

I broke my heart
Fought every gain
To taste the sweet I face the pain I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains

I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

I've lived to be
The very best
I want it all
No time for less
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance
Here in my hands

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be
I will be
I will be free
I will be
I will be free

Channel U's SuperStar

I guess most of Singapore heard of the Channel U's Super Star... a Chinese version of the popular Singapore Idol...

Much controversies has rise... when the Kelvin the visually handicapped won the Male Category over the hot favourite Junyang... many believe that its sympathy votes... is it so? I read an article in The New Paper, where the writer says she cast in her 60cents SMS to vote for Kevin because of his fighting spirit... and if a contestant is not a handicapped, no matter how well he/she sang, the SMS won't be cast... what does this tell us???? hmm...

For the Female Category, I personally find that Xin Hui is a better singer than Kelly... although she was criticised by the judges to have no fashion sense... why do you need to have a fashion sense to be a singer? I think some of the judges themselves look *yikes* during the show... Do they have fashion sense? Furthermore, a singer would have their own nanny and image consultant to choose their outfits and makeup artiste, hair stylist to make them presentable... Am I right to say so?

Well, I guess most people would be curious about how the now popularised contestants look like in the past… I happen to have the SAJC 1999 Yearbook where Junyang and Wayne, now more fondly known as JJ, are ‘featured’… Ok, it’s just a yearbook but I got to see how they look like in JC… actually, Wayne was already a prominent figure in college… he took part in the National’s Day talent time back then... everyone knows who Wayne is… haha… guess performing is in him all along…

The phones I'm eyeing now ... oh, the E640 oso not bad...

You are pure, moral, and adaptable. You tend to blend into your surroundings. Shy on the outside, you're outspoken to your friends. You believe that you live a virtuous life... And you tend to judge others with a harsh eye. As a result, people tend to crave your approval.

cry baby

Sob sob… it has been days but I only have time to write it now…

I realized that that I cry easily… tiny stuff, big stuff… was like that from young but I think the condition has worsen…

Crying Scene 1:

The much anticipated book 6 of the Harry Potter series was out on 16 July 2005… I took 8 days to finish reading it… a part of me wanted to know how the plot develops, another part of me reluctant to finish reading as this would meant a wait of another 2 years for the final book… Anyway, I finish reading the book last Saturday 24 July, and I cried to sleep… because a character passed away… or should I say killed… well, I don’t think I should be anymore or else those who haven't finish reading (I doubt so) would be scolding me for destroying the suspense… but for those who have finish reading the book, click here...

Crying Scene 2:

I watch Las Vegas on channel 5 on Monday night… I cried on the way a cancer patient died… he ended his life doing his second final dying wish… he didn’t managed to fulfill his dying wish… His second final wish was to sky-dive… His philosophy was that he didn’t want to spend his last days alive in a hospital… He managed to convince 2 friends to join him on his trip and even joked with them before his dive… Unfortunately, he removes his parachute and jump off the plane… I can’t help thinking why did he do that…
