If You Can Dream





There is a world where hope
And dreams can last for all time
A wondrous place to go
You'll know it when your heart finds

Hearing our song as old as rhyme
Hold my hand we're gonna fly
What a magic ride
And just a kiss away

If you can dream
The wish we're making
On a star is coming true
The colours of the wind will lead
My heart right back to you

'Cause if you can dream
Reflections in a diamond sky
Come shining on true
Romance will always be so new
And love will save the day
If you can dream

Someday my prince will come
It's certain as the sun rise
One day the slipper fits
Then you see the love in his eyes

It's a tale as old as time
There's no mountain we can't climb
When you're finally mine
And just a kiss away

If you can dream
The wish we're making
On a star is coming true
The colours of the wind will lead
My heart right back to you

'Cause if you can dream
Reflections in a diamond sky
Come shining on true
Romance will always be so new
And love will save the day
If you can dream

So the story goes
Never die the rose
There's a whole new world
Waiting there for us
(Waiting just for us)

If you can dream
The wish we're making
On a star is coming true
The colours of the wind will lead
My heart right back to you

'Cause if you can dream
Reflections in a diamond sky
Come shining on true
Romance will always be so new
And love will save the day
Love will save the day
If you can dream

A New Breath...

New Year
How did you celebrate it?
Once ago, I, like the majority
Would be counting down that last few seconds
And then, like the majority
Watch the display of fireworks
And then, that’s it
Just for that few seconds


7 January 2009
Was one of those official key turning points in my life
It jolted me
What have I been doing all this while?
If I continued to be doing what I’ve been doing in the past
What will I be doing in the future?
It had me thinking a lot that time


2009 has passed
Tribulations and challenges have come and went
In various shapes and sizes
In different forms and colours
But in the midst of these
Hundreds of hands were held out
By people who I never knew
People who I only got to know for not even more than a year
People who are perceived by those out there to be deceivers


God was wise
Fate had it
He dictated it
That I know them
Praise to God
For giving me some of the best gifts in my life
They are just like any other normal humans
It’s just the way they talk
The way they behave
Are different from the rest
My life was driven by the wise words from them
My heart was touched by their willingness and sincerity


Looking back
2010 may be just another new year
Any day is just another brand new day
Regardless of which year it may be
“Happy Birthday” to me, I might say
And I’m another brand new person on any day


Lighting up a lotus-shaped candle
With lips chanting 6 characters repeatedly
The trembles of the chant
Sending the blood gushing in my clasped fingers
The heart feels at peace
The mind is empty
Nothing but senses being calmed
To cleanse the soul of unfavourable thoughts
To set my mind at ease
For a new start
A new lease of life
And I’m reborn
To unleash what has being smothered inside
To change the world
Peace… Freedom… Hope…


Rebirth to charge again
To unlock the chains
To draw upon more colours into life
To feel the soul that it was meant to feel
To dream the dreams I want to dream
Be the dreams in the snows of Alaska
Or in the lights of Las Vegas
The deserts of Dubai, the autumn of Tokyo
The romance of Paris, the lush greenery of Lakeview
Together with faces of the people
Who are part of what gave a new breath into my life


Truly though seem to be surreal
This world can be so magical…
