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.
she loved on her own.
(I can bet though that the book says
she did love on her own)

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..

Kevin of AI
Ever since Gideon was eliminated,
i've been ranting and griping
on the fact that Kevin was able
to stay in the contest.
Whenever AI was the topic,
I have always been expressive
on my opinions with Kevin,
letting everyone know just
what I think of him and
his "over-staying" in AI.
When he sang "when i fall in love"
last wednesday
(we have a 12-hr delayed telecast)
I have been complaining
on the way he sang it.
He was close to belting it out
and I didnt feel like "falling in love"
which you ought to
when you hear the song.
Come eliminations night however,
and as he got eliminated,
I didnt feel as elated
as I thought I would be.
Perhaps it was the mood I was in.
And, when he sang the first note,
my nose started twitching
and I couldnt stop my eyes
from watering nor
can I control tears
from overflowing thereafter.
Maybe it was because
of the way he sang it.
Or maybe,
the song just hit home.

Maid of Honor
Erlita's wedding's been moved to July,
a month short of my homeleave.
too bad....
Anyways, her entourage is quite unique.
She wont be having a Maid of Honor.
This is despite the fact that she has a sister,
her one and only sibling.
She wouldn't be having one coz,
as she says,
there can only be one Maid of Honor.
Me.
Hehehe..
Sorry I can't be there but then,
Thanks Let!

Opposites Attract?
whenever i get to thinking about it,
it always amazes me how ALL
my close friends are so
practical-minded and level-headed
while im, well, the complete,
exact emotional opposite.
Not that i'm complaining.
It gives me the balance I need, really.

Little Tidbits
Im now reading an epic novel and it seems quite interesting,
although there are still a lot of stuff i dont know
as it is a sequel im reading.
This isnt the magical fantasy book ive been reading earlier.
Ive ditched that one already as the heroine was infuriating.
(don't ask me about it).
Anyways, the epic novel im reading tells of beautiful, ageless-faced Aes Sedai.
And that to become a full pledged Aes Sedai,
they must be able to control their emotions and what they feel,
inward and outward. Through the training they have,
they can psyche themselves to not feel the wintry cold,
to show grace under pressure and to not fall in love...
Interesting ne?
I have also learned of the ko'di which one of the famous warriors have been using.
From what i gather, it's like super-advanced yoga (if there ever is one).
With ko'di, you can envelope yourself in its "force field"
and thereby cut yourself from extreme cold and from other prowerful feelings like
anger. As was said, going to battle when angry is ultimate foolishness
as it makes one go rash with decisions and thereby is tantamount to
digging your own grave.
I'm just on the 32nd page actually (hehe) but ive been learning a lot,
even chancing upon really meaningful food-for-thoughts
(im weird alright..finding lines to internalize when im just reading an epic..hehe)

Imagination?
The whole day, i've been hearing someone calling my name behind my back.
It always has the same whispery voice,
always has the same urgency,
always has the same modulation.
And when I turn around,
there was always no one there but jonathan
who is nevertheless bent on whatever it was he was doing.
Anyways, the voice is that of a woman
so it couldn't be Jonathan if ever he would call me.
YIKES!might be my imaginary friend come to haunt me?hehe..
I feel so bloated now, constipated.
I try to recall what i ate
that could have triggered this stomach problem
but I can only remember eating mentos
before I started having this.
So bloated, i feel like gagging (pardon me..hehe).
Hopefully, I can go home early today and curl in bed and will for this stomachache to be gone.

MH to Weddings
Three of my closest friends are going to tie the knot this year.
Erlita in May, Leah (that would include Chito as i was close to him too)
inOctober and Paige in December.
But alas, because of my assignment here
and the complication of my DOST scholarship,
I couldnt attend the May and October weddings,
much to the chagrin of myfriends..=(
MH!!pfft!
I have warned Erlita about this already and now,
she's concocting schemes on howI could
still somehow have a big part in her wedding
although I am not physically present
(though for now, I have absolutely no idea how is that possible).
Leah and Chito though, threatened me
I'd be estranged from them
if I wont attend.hahaha!
(actually Erlita warned me the same earlier too..)
They've been looking forward to us singing "Afraid for Love to Fade"...=)
This brought back memories indeed as it was our "theme song" then,
Making me remember our singing and dancing to the songs' rythmn
as we were doing ChE experiments
(we received an earful though from our professor then..hahaha).
Whew!My close friends are now on the threshold
of yet another different level of their lives.
Their excitement are really contagious,
making you wish you'd be a part of this wonderful event
that'd change the course of their lives.
Albeit I may not be present,
i hope I still can make a BIG contribution though,
that'll make their weddings even much more special...=)

Dead tired
For the first time since i got assigned here in Singapore, I got out of the office at 9 pm, slightly swaying from hunger pangs and from a groggy head that's overstuffed with Heat exchangers...
Project people had been pressuring me that i need to submit my pumps, vessels and filters at the end of this week. But how can i move on, when there're these wretched H/Es that keeps bugging me and keeping me from going ahead with the other deliverables. And just when i thought everything is ok, this handsome-but-irritating-jap-so-it's-just-as-well-he's-married-already (hmmm..i can be a mistress i think..hehe) came up and said he'd like for this other H/E to be in batch operation also which means i will yet again make a series of rating the H/E with all the different LMTDs at certain periods of time...huwahhhhh..what a headache........
Jin...i need you back..i need you here beside me..please come back...i need you back..let's start all over again....whew..good thing my kp's gonna be back in the office by monday..but then, i have to submit all the datasheets this friday...huhuhu..
