I believe in you.

While I was writing my blog yesterday, this song came on and the timing could not be more perfect. Joel K. dearie just gave me the song on Wednesday and it was randomly playing on my iTunes... this song is perfect for my 4N Girls. Especially the words in bold... Enjoy.



Lonely the path you have chosen
A restless road, no turning back
One day you will find your light again
Don't you know
Don't let go be strong

Follow your heart
Let your love lead through the darkness
Back to a place you once knew
I believe I believe I believe in you
Follow your dreams
Be yourself an angel of kindness
There's nothing that you cannot do
I believe I believe I believe in you

Tout seul
Tu t'en iras tout seul
Cœur ouvert
A l'univers
Poursuis ta quête
Sans regarder derrière
N'attends pas
Que le jour
Se lève

Suis ton étoile
Va jusqu'où ton rêve t'emporte
Un jour tu le toucheras
Si tu croix, si tu croix, si tu croix
En toi

Suis ta lumière
N'éteins pas la flamme que tu portes
Au fond de toi souviens-toi
Que je croix, que je croix, que je croix
En toi

Someday I'll find you
Someday you'll find me too
And when I hold you close
I know that it's true

Follow your heart
Let your love lead through the darkness
Back to a place you once knew
I believe I believe I believe in you
Follow your dreams
Be yourself an angel of kindness
There's nothing that you cannot do
I believe I believe I believe in you

I am happier now...

For a few weeks, I was really tired and unhappy. There are lots to do at work, school and projects on hand with AIESEC and IJ. But I am happier now..

Music Therapy is good for the Celine Soul and it is cheaper than Retail Therapy. Maybe its because of the increased oxygen flow into the lungs that took away the laziness. Maybe its because of the concentration one put into singing right and right posture that takes your mind off other things. Maybe its the people that you meet in the choir that makes you happy and smiley alllllllll day !!!

Here's a few of us, Choir peeps...
No points in guessing who our conductor is,
And we will be singing very soon again.

THIS IS STUPID

Its the last night of the choir rehearsal and we get bad news from the police that we cannot perform in public... read what my friend Aziah has written at the bottom, and the new performing time is at the Chamber House.

"I am a member of the Singapore Complaints Choir, which is performing for the M1 Fringe Festival 2008, and we are being told to shut up.

The Complaints Choir movement was started by a Finnish couple in 2005, and has toured around the world, to places such as Helsinki, Birmingham, Jerusalem and Alaska. The project in Singapore began with volunteer participants coming together with their complaints, arranging the music and belting it out in song.

We have been together for a month, and tonight was our last rehearsal before the slew of public performances this coming weekend. We have just been told that the police, together with the MDA, are banning all foreigners from participating in this project.

Earlier this month our complaints had to be sent to the MDA for censorship approval. And to our surprise, it was approved without modification.

We have been issued performance licenses by the MDA, but now we are being told that foreigners, cannot and should not sing complaints about Singapore. It doesn't matter if you have lived or worked here for most of your life, or if you can innocently comment on rising transport fairs, or realise your complaints, are my complaints, and the world is not as big or apart as we think. Sure, we welcome foreign talent with open arms. But please shut up while you're here.

Our conductor, and music arranger, is Malaysian. The founders of this project, who have been singing with us since day 1, are Finnish. A number of our choristers, are either PRs, or foreign nationals.

One of our performing venues is the Speakers' Corner, where foreigners will not be issued licenses to speak. We can no longer perform at this venue.

We can no longer perform, as a complete choir. The complaints, the music, the project, have all been tainted by the foreigners who have contributed since early this month, from the inception of the project, to the writing of the complaints, to the music, and its performance.

This leaves me embittered, sad, angry, disappointed, livid, jaded, but most of all sad. I am disappointed that this is what the world, watching the documentary about this Complaints Choir movement, will learn about my country, when this process has been about meeting those who feel we are ready to give our country a shot, and have something to be proud of.

Don't you dare say we have no national pride, and are apathetic. This is my country, and fuck you for desecrating my home. "

Sing

I realised today that I have to get back into Singing. I must join a choir again, I need some kind of motivation and singing makes me very happy... so... that is my goal for 2008. Sing.

If you catch me smiling to myself behind my computer

this might be the reason why.



And I am so in love with his voice !

I have singing practice tonight and I am so excited ! I have been so diligent on getting well from flu and sore throat all for tonight. I am so glad I am singing, it is truly one thing that makes me smile !

Totally hooked on Michael Buble's new song ( ok.. not so new ) EVERYTHING.. the words hold such profound truth when it comes to loving someone and that someone is everything that you need or will ever need.

This is how the chorus goes;
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're every song, and I sing along.
Cause you're my everything.
yeah, yeah

The chorus mades me smile and even dance a little...
Its 5.30am now and I just came home from work.... I am extremely tired but this song makes me smile.......

( and thanks to my CD alarm clock, I will be waking with this song too ! )
