The Pilgrim's Theme

Tired of weaving dreams
too loose for me to wear
Tired of watching clouds
repeat their dance on air

Tired of getting tired
of doing what's required
Is life a mere routine
in the greater scheme of things

Through with taking roads
someone else designed
Through with chasing stars
that soon forget to shine
Through with going through
one more day - what's new
Does my life still mean a thing
in the greater scheme of things

REFRAIN 1:
I think I'll follow
the voice that calls within
Dance to the silent song it sings
I hope to find my place
So my life can fall in place
I know in time
I'll find my place
In the greater scheme of things

Each must go his way,
but how can I decide
Which path I should take,
who will be my guide

I need some kind of star
to lead me somewhere far
To find a higher dream
in the greater scheme of things

The road before me bends,
I don't know what I'll find
Will I meet a friend or ghosts
I left behind

Should I even be surprised
that You're with me in disguise
For it's Your hand I have seen
in the greater scheme of things

(REFRAIN 1)

BRIDGE:
For Yours is the voice
in my deepest dreams
You are the heart,
the very heart
Of the greater scheme of things

(REFRAIN 1)

REFRAIN 2:
Why don't we follow
the voice that calls within
Dance to the silent song it sings
One day we'll find our place
For all things fall in place
For all things have a place
In the greater scheme of things

The Alchemist

True enough,
when you want something soo badly,
the whole world conspires with you.

Been having trouble sleeping lately...
and whaddyaknow!
after not having tuned in for a week,
tonight's topic in Class 95
are tips on getting
that "forty winks" in a snap.

The first one i got
right after tuning in
was to sniff a scent.
Says Yaz, you put
lavender oil droplets
in your pillowcase
and that'll do the trick.
Hmmm..gotta go to Bukit Batok then.

Addicted...

...that's how i am with the Wheel of Time.
I've been scrimping for every spare time
i can get and i read even when im standing
in the platform waiting for the train.

Every morning,
when i groggily pick my way to the bathroom,
i vow to myself to sleep early that evening.
The following evening, however,
finds me glued to my laptop and afterwhich,
finds me engrossed with reading WoT.
And it'll be way past midnight when sleep
finally catches up on me.
Not that this is new to me.
Been vowing to myself to sleep early
but finding later i've broken my vow
ever since Paige and I became roommates..
hahaha..

Anyways, grab yourself a copy of the book.
I guarantee it's more than worth the read,
and i believe all WoT fanatics
would readily agree with me.

And Eponine was Loved...

...when all this time, i thought
she loved on her own.
(I can bet though that the book says
she did love on her own)

This scene's really touching though...

From Les Miserables...

EPONINE
Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius
I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now
You're here, that's all I need to know
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
And rain will make the flowers grow.

MARIUS
But you will live, 'Ponine - dear God above,
If I could heal your wounds with words of love.

EPONINE
Just hold me now, and let it be.
Shelter me, comfort me

MARIUS
You would live a hundred years
If I could show you how
I won't desert you now...

EPONINE
The rain can't hurt me now
This rain will wash away what's past
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
I'll sleep in your embrace at last.
The rain that brings you here
Is Heaven-blessed!
The skies begin to clear
And I'm at rest
A breath away from where you are
I've come home from so far
So don't you fret, M'sieur Marius
I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now
That's all I need to know
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close

MARIUS(in counterpoint)
Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine,
You won't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt you now
I'm here
I will stay with you
Till you are sleeping

EPONINE
And rain...

MARIUS
And rain...

EPONINE
Will make the flowers...

MARIUS
Will make the flowers... grow...

(She dies. Marius kisses her, then lays her on the ground)

MARIUS
Her name was Eponine
Her life was cold and dark,
yet she was unafraid.

April Fools on Class 95

Happy April Fools Day!
hmmmm.. i wonder what prank can
i pull today...hehe..

Anyways, i've been listening to this
radio station since November.
Aside from having a cool selection,
what keeps me interested in
listening to Class 95 is Yaz'
"Topic for the Night".

Got to learn a lot of useful
tidbits of infos..

Anyways, as their treat for
April Fools' Day,
Yaz kept on promising earlier
in the night that at the stroke
of midnight, she'll be playing
a song that'll melt the heart,
unless you've got a heart of stone.

well, wait i did so as to test if
i already have a heart of stone.

before playing the song,
she promoted that "wing"
has sold some 20,000 albums already
and that for tonight, she'll be
playing "wing's" own rendition
of Mariah Carey's Vision of Love.

And wait I did.

I was not prepared though
with what assailed my sense of hearing.

It sounded like an 80-year old grandma
trying to belt it out.
I was wincing actually and was near crying
with exasperation...
but listen i did till the end...
cause, (ok, i gotta give it to her)
it was REALLY funny...

but oh pleea-uh-se..
let it not be an LSS again..
