Thoughts about the Weekend

Over The Rainbow
(Arlen-Harburg)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

Watched little girl sing this on Mr Brown's blog. Love this song heaps! Kermit sang this song to Ms Piggy in the Muppets Show and maybe I see myself as Ms Piggy and Babe being Kermit and that's why I love this song! This song lifts me up whenever I feel blue and when I think that I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. I think of the lyrics, when dreams come true and when troubles melt like lemondrops. But irony, lemondrops are sweet and sour, just like life, huh?

Went to church on Sun, and the Pastor mentioned that when you're plowing or tilling the ground with the machine, you always have to look forward to make sure that you plow in straight lines. Each time you look back to make sure that you have straight lines, you'll go in a circle and make a mess. This is a wonderful analogy in life, I thought. When I make decisions and then I look back and wonder what if I didn't make this decision or what if I made another decision and all the what ifs....And these what ifs screw me over! So...from now on...must look forward and trust in the Almighty one!

This weekend has been a great one. Spent time with Jacqui. And thank God that I've been having half days and going out with Jacqui. Went to Mongkok on Sat and then had dinner with the Winklers. Love the spicy food! Was great and WK also found a yummy dessert place too. Jacqui's leaving tonight but Aunty Sue and Susan arriving this week too. It'll be a great week.
