The Future...

In this one week, no less then 3 people have asked me (talk about coincidence!!) about furthering my studies in Masters Degree. I've personally been avoiding this question hoping that I do not have to study anymore... (I kinda feel lazy..)

But I believe its the right step for me if I were to continue on in my career and develop myself. Question now is..

WHERE??
WHEN??
WHAT??

Argh... Have been searching high and low for courses through the net... Some that spark interest. Others that just makes me want to think twice about what I'm doing...

At the crossroads here... Really do not know what and how..

Lord, give me wisdom.


Ciao.

p/s: Here's to those who are taking their Masters or are considering it

Princess (by Matthew Robinson)

This song found on Youtube is a treasure indeed :)

Ally, found a counterpart video named "Boyband" by the same writer and I had a field time laughing.. (If you want to see just search the name and the artist in Youtube.

But the song that I want to draw your attention to is the one entitled princess. Very fun to watch and animated as well. And the words.... PRICELESS..

Basically, this song is a summary of my childhood. Here it is:-


PRINCESS ~ by Matthew Robinson


Ever since I was the age of 5
I've had a quiet dream
That a man of worth on a great white stead
Would come and rescue me
See I wasn't under privileged
My family was always with me
But instead of watching Sesame Street
I had what some may call,
A small obsessive urge for Disney

Now please understand
A magic carpet and a lamp
Are accessories to treasure indeed
So if you happen to find
Aladdin's search of divine
Pass his number on to me
I think he lost mine

If I met a beast
A hairy laud to say the least
Whose inner beauty made up for the smell
Would it be too much for me
To get his dancing rockery
And have him turn out HOT as well
Its only fitting

Would it be so unconventional
To want life to be two dimensional
Its not erotic, its melodic, it’s a state of mind.

If I met a king who was a lion who could sing
I might try to wet his appetite
And with a crown on his head
And his lioness in bed
He'd feel the love tonight
Once we were married

I could be a little mermaid in the sea
And a have a daddy with a trident in hand
And I could get the man,
Sell my soul and wreck the land
He still would understand
Its only justice

Life would be so less deflated
If it were a little more animated
I'll get my happy, get my sappy
Any day of the week

Disney princess always gets the pretty songs to sing
And all I'm asking for is the kind of love that's worth key changing

One girl left a slipper on a step
And a prince came running effortlessly
But I could set glue, and leave a business card or two
He still would not find me
It isn't funny!

But I can wait!
Even princess can relate
I'm sure he's running to me desperately
Till he arrives, I'll get my Disney from the store
Unwrap a box and spread them on the floor
And pray to Walt that if won't be long before
A brand new Hercules, hits the screen!!


Now, the lyrics posted my not be very accurate as it is based on my listening. Anyway, after listening to this song over and over again, it totally gave me the "Disney" urge and I actually watched Sleeping Beauty (yes the cartoon) on Youtube... The whole thing!! hehehe..

Okay.. Here's the video for those of you curious enough to watch.





P.s.: Here's to all our fun filled childhood. Never forget it.. Cheers!!

Allygator (via Phoebe Simon)

Recently, one of my youth members took a big step in life where she migrated with her mum to Down Under. It was a whirlwind of farewells (practically almost everyday) left and right, front and back, up and down (okay okay... you get the idea)..

Anyway, Ally, I'll miss you sooooooo much and I know many friends that you've made along the years will miss you too.

Another one of my youth members wrote a poem for her and I thought it very appropriate to share it here with you all (yes, I have asked for permission). So here it is:-

Later, Allygator  (by Phoebe Simon)



It was just in time,
that a year ago, I came to meet sunshine.
She was the brightest thing ever,
A girl who moves mountains with her prayers.

There's a skill she perfected,
She puts smiles on everyone she affected.
There's something about that bubbly nature of hers,
It's a known fact, Ally's highly infectious!

I'm sure you know by now,
That I havent had enough of you,
Your bright light and oh wow,
Your funny language too.

But now off you go,
To the land down under,
Oh love, dont you know?
It's the right place for my allygator.

But please, dont you dare,
Look back and start to tear,
I know it's a different jungle out there,
Just remember, He'll never leave you astray.

Now look out, world,
So amazed you'll be,
To see what you're about to see,
Because here's a girl with a ton of strength,
Our sweetest little Ally Eng.


So here's to you dearest Ally. Make the best of your stay there in Australia. I'm sure I speak on behalf of all that we'll be looking forward to your coming back HOME...

Ciao.

p.s.: Here's to all who are missing loved ones abroad. Cheers.
