As one gets older, perspectives tend to change, thoughts may have matured and many go on to find out the true "meaning" of life. But what is the true "meaning" of life? It varies with every individual depending on what your aspirations are. Some may find that their life is full of goals and purpose while others get lost and caught up with distractions that he stops and questions his existence. Wouldn't that be very sad for those who doubt the purpose of their existence?
Like many other individuals out there, I tend to find inspiration in the lyrics and songs that I come across, and here happens to be an interesting one that I would love to share with those who are reading this blog.. hope it inspires you and helps you understand your meaning life...
Artist: Carrie Underwood
Album: Some Hearts
Title: Lessons Learned
There's some things that I regret,
Some words I wish had gone unsaid,
Some starts,
That had some better endings,
Been some bad times I've been through,
Damage I cannot undo,
Some things,
I wish I could do all all over again,
But it don't really matter,
Life gets that much harder,
It makes you that much stronger,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were,
Lessons learned.
[CHORUS:]
And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
Everyday I wonder how I get through the night,
Every change, life has thrown me,
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for everytime,
Some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned.
There's mistakes that I have made,
Some chances I just threw away,
Some roads,
I never should've taken,
Been some signs I shouldn't see,
Hearts that I hurt needlessly,
Some roads,
That I wish I could have one more chance to make,
But it don't make no difference,
The past can't be rewritten,
You get the life you're given,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were,
Lessons learned.
[CHORUS:]
And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
Everyday I wonder how I get through the night,
Every change, life has thrown me,
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for everytime,
Some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned.
And all the things that break you,
All the things that make you strong,
You can't change the past,
Cause it's gone,
And nothing's gotta go,
Because they are gone,
Lessons learned.
[CHORUS:]
And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
Everyday I wonder how I get through the night,
Every change, life has thrown me,
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for everytime,
Some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned,
Lessons learned.
p.s. its a song from American Idol Winner Carrie Underwood which i would recommend listening to. The lyrics did provided me with lots of motivation and encouragement and truly touched my heart.

here's another feeble attempt at updating this blog of mine. I have been so busy.. more like I'm lazy, to update this blog that it has been stuck permanantly at on e entry for a long long time. But then again, what's the point of updating when there is nothing much to talk about. And even when there is something to talk about, it is not necessary that I can speak freely. God knows who reads my blog so I guess I can't be as open as I would like to voice out my opinion.
Basically I have been the same, still good, still doing fine. Oh something which I remember, Wee Kiat complains that my blog has become too annoying because I keep using "I am this, I am that and blah blah.." I know it can get quite annoying at times. but just pardon me if I tend to use simplistic sentence structure and phrases. Too bad, army, ruins one linguistic ability. This can't go on anymore or else my England is going to deteriorate and eventually turn disgusting.
Anyway from next week onwards, I will have to stay in camp for at least a month. This is the new policy that Band B has come up with. (by the way, I've joined the main band if you just realise, and yes I passed my Practical, theory, aural and footdrill tests..) It is not up to me to comment on this new policy so we'll leave it to the juniors (what we are known as now) to discuss within ourselves. Lots of activities coming up the next few months. It is gonna be tiring, gonna be tough but we've just gotta embrace it and push through it.
Tomorrow is gonna be Meridian Junior College Band Concert and I will be performing for the Alumni segment. Hopfully I don't screw up nor do the other alumni members or juniors. Good Luck.
