We were strangers, starting out on a journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
Now here we are, and I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When I lost hope, you were there to remind me
This is the start
And life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
We were strangers, on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand, unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
And life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know that my dreams will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart
And life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep going on
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
Someone asked me yesterday on msn about my nick and we ended up talking a little bit about the song. My nick, by the way, is "life is a road and I wanna keep going", which is taken from the song. Well, I guess I feel the same away about life as what the lyrics say. Life is full of ups-and-downs, but no matter what happens, you just have to move on with life. I'm not saying that you can't look back on the past. It's good to look back, but you can't look back all the time. The thing about looking back is that you may be filled with regret and I don't like to regret. So I'd rather move on. I mean whatever happened had happened already (and I really believe that everything happens for a reason) and you can't do anything about it. Instead, I'd learn from my mistakes so that I won't repeat them again. And I also love the rest of the lyrics. I think they're just so sweet and romantic (haha guess I'm a sucker for romantic stuff huh). Especially now, I guess it's even harder to find someone who can go through life with you that way, to find someone who will always be there for you no matter what happens. I think if you can find someone like that, you're really lucky.
Also had a quite thought-provoking conversation with my mortal last night. He was asking me if I've time to meet up with him anytime before I leave and I told him I wasn't sure cos my schedule is basically not planned yet (haha that is what I've been telling people la actually). I've a lot of things on my mind I've planned to do, but I don't know when to go about doing them. Then he said that at that rate, I'm probably not going to get anything done. He said that I can plan and plan and won't get anything done. Instead, I should just do whatever stuff I wanna do cos by the time I finish thinking, it'd be too late to start. His view is that it is good to think, but in life, we often do not have the luxury to spend too much time pondering on things. Well, in a way, he is right. But I guess I'm not the type to just start doing something without planning in advance. I like to plan first so that I will know what I will be doing.
That reminded me of a conversation I had with Jessica, Mingwei and Xinghao some time ago about relationships. Something about "just do it" and not thinking too much. And last night, the topic of conversation went to relationships too. Perhaps when you think too much, it may only lead to the end of your relationship? My mortal told me that another senior used to tell him that you should just try cos even if you fail, you know you have tried. But if you never try, you may look back 10 years later and wonder what could have been. I told him I think that way too, but I guess my mortal doesn't really agree with that view. He then asked me (and also that senior) what would happen if you try and fail and end up losing a friend? Will you look back 10 years later and ask what if you hadn't tried? I couldn't really come up with a good answer to that question. But I still believe that it's better to try and fail rather than not having tried at all. If you have tried and failed and ended up losing that someone, at least you know you have tried and you know what the person is like. There's probably a reason why you lose that friend and if you don't try, how will you be certain that that friend will still be friends with you after 10 years? There's no guarantee and so, I guess it's better to still try.
Anyway, I realize I only have 5 days left before I go back. Sigh..I really don't feel like going back at all cos that'll mean school and crazy workload all over again. There are still many people I want to meet and many things I want to do. And not enough time. Help!! And I bet each day will pass by faster and faster as it gets closer to Friday. Sigh. I just remembered I need to pack too haha, and transfer songs. Transferring songs is such a nuisance, especially when you have like more than 10GB of songs. Bleah.
MU's match tonight! But it's so late, at 12. Probably can't watch it cos I've to be up early tomorrow morning. Sigh. It's probably my last chance to watch a soccer match live, at least for a few months. And hmm.. perhaps I'm just being cynical (or even jealous), but I really do wonder about Chelsea fans. Were they supporting Chelsea beforehand, before Roman Abramovich came and before they're doing so well? Or did they just start supporting Chelsea after they saw Chelsea doing so well? (I guess I really am envious of Chelsea haha).
Anyway, went to church this morning for the 8.30 service and the sermon was good, and you can say I could relate to the message of the sermon. After that, went for Shineforth service as well and had lunch with Zaneta and Raymond. Nice to catch up with them :) Haha. And managed to talk to quite a few people from church as well. I guess I really miss church here. I miss my cell, the sunday school, the sermons, the people, the atmosphere. I don't think church there is the same, but I shall not complain la.
And it's been pouring all day today. It's been raining for the last few days actually. Washed away my plan to play tennis this evening :( Come to think of it, I haven't experienced rain for quite a while. But I would have preferred the sun. Whatever happened to sunny Singapore??
