Now life has killed the dream I dreamed

It's a quiet weekend. Besides going for dinner, I found myself lazying and sleeping alot. Maybe the body is trying to tell me that it's getting exhausted from the daily work. Yes, I do agree at times. Let's share what had happened for the past one week.

Work, badminton, work, traveling, work, badminton, work and a silly incident. That silly incident happened on a Friday when I was invited to give a talk at an institution nearby for a campaign. To my surprise, the person invited me has a lil mental problem, not that I created this story but I was told by her superior when I turned up at their institution on Friday and things went haywire. In the end, I didn't give the speech and it was a time wasting experience. Full stop.

In regards to the above mentioned title, Now life has killed the dream I dreamed, (an excerpt from the lyric I dreamed a dream), I find so much in connection to this simple phrase. This early morning when I started looking at the news online, I found this little article. click. We have been dreaming since little kid of what we wanted to become one day. I find it so absurd that these days, with the existing silly system, we are actually not progressing and expanding as we hoped for. I could say that even as for me, I had taken a u-turn in my profession and heading to a different kind of field. The very simple system that keeps everything running basically has killed the passion out of many people.

Again, I remember the first theatrical stage that I attended to, many years back was Les Miserable, in London. It was during my backpacking days that I found the joy and freedom that I'd always crave for. One of the songs later re-emerged, pulled off by Susan Boyle who was then I presumed the second Pott. (Pott was the first amazing talent and won the Britain's Has Talent show). Well, Boyle did well and head to stardom. Now, we find another new Boyle version, not very far, but our very own asian version, Lin Yu-chun.

His version of I will always love you, definitely has attracted lots of attention world wide, up to north America. I had even looked at one of his interviews with the media. At one point he almost broke down speaking of his ordeal up to this stage. He was speaking of how now life has killed the dream he dreamed. I guess it's an almost attempt, but he survived. Kudos!
