This is the theme song of an old film "Mr. Holland's Opus".
The clip contains some undesirable hissing sound but the lyrics will sure touch your heart.
If you folks want this song I can send it to you.
I've got that soundtrack, as well as the VCD. Just feel free to ask me!
HURRRRRRRRRAY!
First I have to thank brother Lai for waking me up at 4 every morning during the exam
period. Love ya. Must thank Amanda as well or I couldn't finish the linguistics materials.
31 May (Linguitics and Lexicology Exam)
After having the last two exams done, Ada, Amanda, Nicole, Sophia and I all looked so
worn-out but still we all agreed on having dinner in a taipandon in ngautaukok. Gotta
give the taipandon the thumbs up coz the dishes were all superb (or is it because I felt
dead hungry at that moment?? Well, who's gonna give a damn afterall, ha!)
Strange as it might seem, I appeared so energetic when I was home and tell you what, I sat
rooted in front of my PC until 3 in the morning.......what the hell....why CAN'T I just spend
the time on my studies....but rather on such MOLUI stuffs......Shame on me.
1 June (My very first free day)
Previosuly I told you folks I slept at 3 something last night, I know it was real crazy that
I woke up at 8 something today just to have breakfast with Brother Lai and Elaine in
SHATIN (what!!?Are you kidding?? May lives in wongtaisin, doesn't she??) I was sorry
I was late my dear brother Lai, but you can't blame me coz it's Elaine's fault if you know
what I mean. Anyway, have a fine day with you two.
Resume the tutorial job today. Mrs Hui told me desperately that Felix wanted to give me a
ENCOURAGEMENT-PHONE-CALL during the exam period but she stopped him disturbing
me. Well that's so heartwarming. Yo. Hope Felix can do well in his exam as well.
2 June
Now I'm still sitting like dead in front of my PC.
Planning to read a book tomorrow.
Probably will read "the story of my life by Helen Keller". How Helen Keller conquered her
stumbling blocks in her life is like a lighthouse in the dark to me...
When I compare my so-called frustration with hers, I can't help feeling so small in this world.
Anyway, she could have a very fruitful life over deafness and blindness, I, with a good
health, can too, and make you believe!!

漫天都是木棉花，蝴蝶都要閃到一旁，乖乖看著他們玩捉迷藏。
天那麼藍，風這麼柔，此時此刻，你愛嗎？
走到街上，一顆木棉花向著我飄來．．．．．．
張開手，合上，眼界真好！
小時候的charlotte church 跟Billy Gilman
Artist: Charlotte Church
Album: Dream A Dream
Title: Dream A Dream (elysium)
When the night is still
And the sea is calm
Lonely shadow, you call upon me
Lay by my side
Fear not tonight
Lonely shadow, you'll find a new light
Dream a dream
And see through angel's eyes
A place where we can fly away
Ride with me upon a shining star,
Above the moonlit sky
We will find elysium
Hear the nightingale
Sing a lullaby
Lonely shadow, you'll find a new light
Dawn will be kind,
All will be bright,
Lonely shadow, rise from the darkness
Dream a dream, etc.
我想知道﹐你認識的那個cathy
