Climb Every Mountain

This is one of the songs that is very meaningful. It's from a musical, The Sound of Music. Read the lyrics very carefully and listen to the tune. This song's sung by Peggy Woods, a soprano, as Mother Abbess in the musical movie version featuring Julie Andrews.



Climb Every Mountain
From the Sound of Music Music by Rodgers and Hammerstein

Climb every mountain,
search high and low
Follow every byway,
every path you know.

Climb every mountain,
ford every stream,
Follow every rainbow,
till you find your dream!

A dream that will need
all the love you can give,
Every day of your life
for as long as you live.

Climb every mountain,
ford every stream,
Follow every rainbow,
till.....you.....find....your dream!

YAHOO!! Cat's back in touch with me!!

Today is a very lucky day for me. Although I have a very bad sore throat and lost my voice since yesterday, all things went quite smoothly for me today. This morning after waking up, I tested my voice to gauge whether I'm able to manage talk the whole day. My throat failed me and went into coughing spasms. I informed my partners that I'm unable to report for work today and settled down to read the past 2 days' newspapers. I had a peaceful morning reading and a fun time chatting with a friend from an online forum I frequent. The whole afternoon & early evening were spent reading, chatting and searching for information.

Then I started to miss my polytechnic friend, *Cat, who was very close to me when my younger sister mentioned her primary school buddy. Such nostalgia! I retreated into my room to savour the sweet memories of happy times spent together when we were in polytechnic. We had lost touch for a few months, almost close to half a year. She was busy with her university graduation studies in US.... YES! She's in United States now, because she tied the knot and immigrated there. Last I heard of her by chatting with her online, she was graduating in February this year and she aspires to be a physical scientist. After that, I had no luck to chat with her online. Her schedule must be packed.. Guess that explains why we're unable to meet each other.

Things took a better turn today. Lady Kindness must be blessing me, as I thought about *Cat and a strong sense of longing vibrates through my whole being, my MSN Messenger alarm sounded. I clicked.... and I couldn't believe it!

OMG!!! IT'S *CAT!! YAHOOOO!!!!

We had a short chat to update each other on 1 or 2 matters, then we promised to catch up again tomorrow night. She sent over 2 of her recent photos to me. The photos were such a dear precious prize to me. I can see her radiating with good health, confidence, happiness and a more matured aura of a lady. I just couldn't take my eyes off the photos - I missed her dearly for the friendship, laughter and feeling of a lady's kindness, understanding and love.

I just couldn't help myself to yell out:

YAHOOO!!!! *CAT'S BACK IN TOUCH WITH ME!!!

AHHH!!! MEMORIES....

First Blog Post - Prologue to a Start

This is my first blog post. It took me some time to find an avenue for me to write and release some of my pent-up feelings and frustrations.

Still, it couldn't let me dump all the dark secrets I have to keep and lock my friends and other contacts confide to me. It somehow adds on the the stress and worries from my career and I just couldn't guage how much more or longer I can absorb.

Hopefully, this blogging avenue will help me reflect and put the worries behind to move on in life in a more meaningful way.
