The Climb ...

Hi again.

Everyday we have many encounters; they leave some of us feeling pretty pleased, a number of us feeling disappointed while the rest of us experience mixed feelings ...

Just wanna remind all of us that journey which we embark is a long, winding one. Some times things will go our way but many a times, as we've found out by now that there are many events and incidents (other than tests and exams) which turned out in ways we didn't expect ...

So here's a song which I recently came across ... I love it and find the lyrics particularly meangingful and hope it'll spur you to continue to persevere and continue with 'the climbs' of your life.




Miley Cyrus - The Climb

I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming but
There’s a voice inside my head sayin,
You’ll never reach it,
Every step I’m taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking
but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

The struggles I’m facing,
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I’m not breaking

The pain I’m knowing
But these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It’s all about
It’s all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

Sorry I'm back ...

Hi, sorry about the radio silence ... it's been non-stop work since my trip to South Korea. It was a very eventful one; will share when I got the chance (and if you're interested to hear it).

I assume you're in the midst of your first examinations? All the best people and continue to do your best, even though it may 'appear' to be not so high-stake as the PSLE which ended not long ago.

Do your best and please continue to take them seriously as they are important building blocks to your dreams and ambitions. Really, some of us were wilful and still are ... remember, education is important and do your best as go as far as possible as this is probably the best time to do so as your distractions may be potentially lesser as compared to when you get older ...

I'm sure everyone is aware of the Influenza A aka H1N1. Do practise good personal hygiene habits and exercise social responsibility; should you be ill, report sick and return only to school when you get better.

As for the long-delayed meet-up, I'm thinking of some time in mid-June when hopefully I'll be freer ... anyway suggestions? Better still, any volunteers to lead on this? I think you guys (and gals) are old enough and ready to take more responsibilities ... I personally prefer a simple gathering which doesn't cost too much so that as many can participate.

So how? Let's hear it from you!

At the meantime, all the best to your exams and stay healthy!
