For Blue Skies

A very touching song...


Basically a song to a loved one who lost the battle to drugs who died a lonely death that he wished he could have prevented. He asked how was things on the other side assuming that she is now an angel watching over him and how much he missed her.



But the sweetest thing about this song is that it didn't discourage him to stop living. Infact, he continued living as a promise to her that he will look out for himself which he had failed to do so for her even though he was right there beside her when she died. Even though he did not know if his loved one had committed suicide through drug overdose or had died accidentally, one thing for sure was that this person was willing to forgive her for what she had done. He moved on knowing he can see his future clearly ahead even though he still kept fond memories of her close to his heart. She might want to have that same kind of future but whose life was sadly cut short.


This song kinda reminded me of the movie I watched yesterday, The Freedom Writers where most students in this class had lost a friend or more through drugs, gangfights and drive by shootings. Their inspiring teacher taught them that death is not a quick solution to end it all and how they want themselves to be remembered by because after all they will be forgotten once they have been buried underground and left to rot if they dont leave behind any legacy that will inspire the future generation. What awaits them instead if they are to be strong and see themselves as useful people is a better future as long as they are willing to work hard and to prove to their families that their life is worth living. It means that they are not afraid to face whatever obstacles lay infront of them. Why? Because they are able to silence those voices that says they cant.



For Blue Skies (OST One Tree Hill)


Itā€™s been a long year
Since we last spoke
Howā€™s your halo?
Just between you and I
You and me and the satellites
I never believed you
I only wanted to
Before all of this
What did I miss?
Do you ever get homesick?
I canā€™t get used to it
I canā€™t get used to it
Iā€™ll never get used to it
Iā€™ll never get used to it



Iā€™m under that night
Iā€™m under those same stars
Weā€™re in a red car
You asleep at my side
Going in and out of the headlights
Could I have saved you?
Would thatā€™ve betrayed you?
I wanna burn this film
You alone with those pills
What you couldnā€™t do I will
I forgive you
Iā€™ll forgive you
Iā€™ll forgive you
I forgive you



For blue, blue skies
For blue, blue skies
For blue, blue skiesFor blue, blue skies
Iā€™ll forgive you

Being a Teacher isn't Easy

I work with teachers but I'm not a teacher. I actually work in the admin department and I like my job though sometimes it can be challenging especially when I feel swarmed by it. Or when my boss keeps calling me for work related stuffs especially when she is doing the approval for payment or vetting through. So, the headache. Anyway, I can honestly say most teachers are really nice though some are really driving me up the wall. That or they are just simply aint nice but then, it is also because of their personality. But as teachers, they are really dedicated. I also deal with parents and honestly, they can be demanding and very irritating and they are not scared of the higher authority in school. To them, they are being like that all because they care for their children but they are overbearing as if they don't let their children make mistakes and learn. Plus, whatever their children said, they believe every bit of their story though they are not there to see for themselves an...

Birthday Gathering & House Hunting

Last week, I celebrated a friend of mine's belated birthday together with another friend at her condo. Sadly, this would be the last time we would hold the celebration at her place because she has finally managed to sell off her condo unit after one year of looking for a buyer. Mostly we used the swimming pool facilities although the two of us didn't swim at all but just chill under the shade. We brought home cooked food and I really appreciated my friend for doing this for us, thinking about how the young son of a friend of us would love the swimming pool for kids. She is so selfless and kind to her friends and I'm truly blessed to have her in my life.  While one was selling off the house, the other friend was on the verge of getting a dream house for herself and her young son. In life, we have many priorities and things to look forward to. Each of our dreams and aspirations are different from one another, like for me, getting a house is not a priority at the moment.  ...

A Reminder to the Living

Recently, we lost our former President when he passed away at the age of 92. He was known to have his heart for the people although those who worked closely with him couldn't actually picture him as that for he was a taskmaster when it came to work. He did his own narratives and do the best that he could as he knew where he came from and wanted to make good out of his life.  He showed that the circumstances that we are in can't stop us from going far in life. We should continue to focus on our actions, has strong dedication and when things get difficult, look at the bigger picture and understand why we are here. Ultimately, we should all be working towards the purpose we have in mind which makes things easier to cope. Thank you for helping the Singaporeans especially those who needed help most. You would always be the people's President. On the other spectrum, a young child had also lost his life. A few of my colleagues witnessed the events which unfolded in front of...
