The Dysfunctional Pilgrim

Sorry. I had to put this up! AI results show yesterday. Contestants met some famous director (so famous i dunno his name=.=) Talked to them about the importance of music in movies. This is paraphrased as i can't remember all he said. I hope i got his crazy lyrics right though. Director: Music makes movies iconic. Some movies are remembered because of the music. Like Chariots of Fire. In fact, it would have been a greater hit if they used the words i wrote for the song... Then he started la. (i dare you to sing it out loud...just follow the soundtrack-u all should know the CoF soundtrack right? who doesn't???) We're running on the seashore We're running on the sand We're running in circles There's sand in our toes Chorus: And there goes the Jewish guy in front and there goes the Christian guy behind I wonder who's gonna win this time It's gonna be close I haven't laughed so hard for so long. I suppose some might find it offensive...and i don't mea...

A new movie is out - Limitless. Something abt this down-and-out dude who looks like a wreck who then decides to take this PILL and *poof!* Super smart, super efficient, super good looking fella replaces the loser. Yeah, you get the picture. I haven't seen it yet, but it is an interesting story. Not a new one, but intriguing all the same. Who doesn't want a pill to boost our miserable mundane lives once in a while eh? Who doesn't a pill that solves (or so it'd seem) all problems? This isn't a new desire or craze. It's been here for awhile. I read an article on students who took drugs - not to have a party "high" - but to study. Yep. Drugs provide you a boost and helps you stay energized all night...so you can study all night through and actually feel pretty good the next day. What would i do if i somehow came across this Pill? Everyone knows the Dark Side to it. Still....so tempting. Of course i am NOT promoting drugs. Don't do drugs! But it's a...

While my Fellow-traveller and I were walking by the side of Loch Ketterine, one fine evening after sun-set, in our road to a Hut where in the course of our Tour we had been hospitably entertained some weeks before, we met, in one of the loneliest parts of that solitary region, two well-dressed Women, one of whom said to us, by way of greeting, 'What you are stepping westward?' "What, you are stepping westward?" -- "Yea." 'Twould be a wildish destiny If we who thus together roam In a strange land and far from home, Were in this place the guests of Chance : Yet who would stop, or fear to advance, Though home or shelter he had none, With such a sky to lead him on ? The dewy ground was dark and cold ; Behind, all gloomy to behold ; And stepping westward seemed to be A kind of heavenly destiny : I liked the greeting ; 'twas a sound Of something without place or bound ; And seemed to give me spiritual right To travel through that region bright. The voice w...

MUET…man, I don’t know why I’m so obsessed about it. I think it’s because everyone expects me to do well. I want to do well myself….because I think, I hope, with a crazy, insane ferventness, that I can. *taps fingers nervously* I really, really want this badly. Not that it’ll define who I am (I know it won’t), but still…this is one triumph I want to taste. I’ve been having so many downs lately, I want this boost. But will it happen? PLEASE don’t tell me that it will be a breeze; that will just stress me to death! Other updates? hmm.....it has been quite a ride of late. I'm not sure where to begin. Suffice it to say that i am at a place where i'm clawing, fighting and struggling to be what i am suppose to be. I'm focusing on getting back in order, my life has been quite a whirlwind lately. Right now though, I'm feeling rather smug. I'm so happy to be a Mewahan that i don't care if that sounds lame! I saw you guys marching today....aw. i love the marching season. ...

"Failure! Failure!" cried David. "Every bar of my music cried, 'Failure'. It shrieked from the violins, blared from the trombones, thundered from the drums. It was written in all the faces -....What of my soul? False to its own music, its own mission, it's own dream. That is what I mean by failure, Vera.......oh how my music mocked me! And you, so fearless, so high above all that has come to pass, how you must despise me, despise me!" ~The Melting Pot, Israel Zangwill (retold from the play by permission of The Macmillan Company) Read this short story a long time ago. But the way he described failure...amazing. Everytime I fail in something, these lines start ringing in my ears. BTW, this story is awesome too. If you can find it, read it. Sigh.

Take me somewhere far away far away, where the nights are long No it won't be a short stay I want to hear the eagles call Where the shinning stars fly like dust the yawning void of darkness is there Gone are the people I refuse to trust no one to please, none to care Just take me somewhere far away I need no wisdom, I want no pain Grief and anger be blown away Nothing to lose, no more to gain Just let me lie on the blood red sand smell the breeze in the dusty air There's naught left in me to stand responsibility be hanged, duty be damned.

I still remember the day you said you felt “horny”. I don’t quite remember what you really wanted to say. I think you meant to say that you were inspired? Motivated? Well, “berahi” is a strong motivation. Yes indeed. It was one of those moments that would go down in history. Oh the awkwardness, oh the humiliation! Bwahahaha…… Happy birthday to our Resident Genius, Clement Kwan! =) Thanks for being the conscience of our gang. Thanks for insisting on teaching those who want to copy your work instead of just handing them your book. Thanks for glaring and punching our friends hard when they exclaim an expletive. Thanks for being supportive over the things we are passionate about. Thanks for bumming with us when we fail and for coaxing us back to life (we must’ve been a real pain sitting beside you). Thanks for those random moments…shutting my book when I’m studying and calling US nerds when YOU are the one memorizing bio facts (speaking of bio…remember HER?). Thanks for the times we discus...
