After the recent finale of American Idol Season 9, I became so immersed in the feeling of reunion. It was that song, THE song, which brought back so many past bittersweet memories of Form Six. Let's talk 'bout that song in a while.
Spending one and a half years in Form Six back in my school - SMJK Sam Tet - wasn't easy if not for the bonds I've made. Befriending classmates and other students from different societies and even the teachers definitely brought joyful and magnificent moments which enliven things up. I've learned a lot from those relationships, and I truthfully appreciate them, even though some of them had ended not in a way I would imagine.
As I said in my earlier post, June is a month for gatherings, the last before everyone set foot in their respective universities, be it local or overseas. Reuniting with friends and teachers, chatting about the past and predicting the future, these is what gatherings are all about - keeping ourselves updated.
Certainly, the recent USM enrollment will be a hot topic to talk about in gatherings. It was an upset for many, even I felt the disappointment myself. Many discussions were made and a lot expressed their concern on the quality of higher education here in Malaysia. Anyway, congratulations to my friends which were offered the course of their choice. For those who didn't don't be too concerned as we have a great future ahead of us. Trust me, I know we do!! We are the STARZ, right??? No darkness will be to great for our brightness to break.
Let's go back to THE SONG. If you've watched the finale, OR if you have followed my previous long posts, OR you are one of my friends in Facebook (I'm offering options here.), I think there's is no way you could get this one wrong. Delta Goodrem's "Together We Are One" is the song which I played continuously - on my computer and on the phone as well. *There are time when I sang it out loud, but I definitely need to work on my voice box.*
The title of the song is already attractive enough for me, and when I listened to it, WOW!!! The vocals were superb and flawless!!! If that was not enough, wait till you scan through the lyrics. The lyrics was heartfelt and it reminded me of all the hard times which I got through, and all the help and support I got from my friends and family. It also reminded me not to let loose on myself and keep striving hard in the future. Sounds amazing, right? And stuffs like this should be shared, right? Here you got, mates!!

Live Performance
Here we are
Sharing our lives
We made it through
The good and bad times
And still we stand
With hope in our hearts
No matter what
We will play our part
And now we've come so far
One chance to touch a star
Go higher and higher
Find your guiding inspiration
In a place where dreams are made
With a lifetime's preparation
There's no time to be afraid
Put our differences behind us
While we shine like the sun
See what we've all become
Together we are one
Deep inside your heart and soul
You've worked so hard to reach your goal
With every step, with every breath
You gave it all till there was nothing left
Seek out the strength to win
No thoughts of giving in
Go higher and higher
Find your guiding inspiration
In a place where dreams are made
With a lifetime's preparation
There's no time to be afraid
Put our differences behind us
While we shine like the sun
See what we've all become
Together we are one
Deep inside your heart and soul
You work so hard
To reach your goal
With every step
With out regret
You gave it all
Till there was nothing left
Seek out the strength to win
No thoughts of giving in
Go higher and higher
Find your guiding inspiration
In a place where dreams are made
With a lifetime's preparation
There's no time to be afraid
Put our differences behind us
While we shine like a star
See what we've all become
Together we are one
Find your guiding inspiration
In a place where dreams are made
With a lifetime's preparation
It’s no time to be afraid
Put our differences behind us
While we shine like a star
See what we've all become
Together we are one
See what we've all become
Together we are one
Sharing our lives
We made it through
