} chasing the sun

Di sini ada satu kisah
Cerita tentang anak manusia
Menantang hidup bersama
Mencoba menggali makna cinta

Tetes air mata...
Mengalir di sela derai tawa
Selamanya kita...
Tak akan berhenti
mengejar matahari

Tajamnya pisau takkan sanggup
Koyakkan cinta antara kita
Menembus ruang dan waktu
Menyatu di dalam jiwaku

Tetes air mata...
Mengalir di sela derai tawa
Selamanya kita...
Tak akan berhenti mengejar

Terus mengejar
matahari.

so to start off today's entry we have a little inspirational song which you probably dont understand at all unless you know malay/indonesian. haha. sorry im too lazy to translate. anyway its about chasing the sun = chasing your dreams, something like that.

it made me think... like... have you ever had a dream of being able to do something, but you threw it away cos you found out that you suck at it? i mean, that sucks right. the one thing that you really want to be good at, you turn out to be really bad at it, and it doesn't matter how hard you try. so you give up on that dream. have you ever had that feeling before?

when i was small i used to want to be a pianist. but later on i discovered that i am absolutely tone-deaf - my ears just cant recognise notes. my sight-reading is horrible too. so as i progressed up the piano grades it just became harder and harder until i just... failed. haha.

i guess the dream just fell apart ... long before then actually. i told myself and other people that i just cant do it cos i suck at it. but then i picked up guitar, and now the one thing i really want to be able to do is to write a song and perform it in a band.

when a dream is so close to being impossible... is it worth chasing for?

in my opinion...
yes.

never say die.

ok i just totally veered off from what i wanted to blog about at first.

anyway i wanted to blog about how my day kept changing from GOOD to BAD.

the good: i was awake during both morning lectures today. omg. and chem was such a happy period cos mr sito is always smiling haha. :) the bad: econ class sucked.

the good: I UNDERSTOOD SOMETHING IN MATHS SEQUENCES TODAY. WHAT A MONUMENTAL ACCOMPLISHMENT. the bad: i got such a ridiculously hard malay homework.

the good: PE was very slack. YES! I LOVE THE RAIN. the bad: guitar practice was very very bad. i kept playing wrong notes bleah. and THEN on my way home i realised that i forgot my files so i had to go back to NJ to get them. and by THEN there was a massive traffic jam so i stayed in the bus for half an hour before i decided to alight and walk home.

the good: i stay near my school. thank God. and thankfully all went well from there.

well... except that i have to do my PI and i .. haven't. haha.

oh well. sorry for the very long entry. i guess i should stop avoiding my PI now haha. have a great week everyone.
