Go the Distance

I’ve been away from my blog for a month. My last post was on 31^st Dec 2007, and today is already 31^st Jan 2008. For certain people, lot of things happened during that period. But for me, I just went through my normal routine, not so much changes. I’m still coordinating the seminar for Biotechnology students…inviting speaker, preparing and marking quizzes, and every first Friday of the month, attending the departmental board meeting. I wish to end this as soon as possible. Yeah, it’s too comfortable for me doing all these, but at the same time, too boring and lonely. I wanna spend every second left in Malaysia with something very meaningful and thoughtful, but how??

I was a bit busy with my study leave application. I’ve submitted the application to the management, and planning to start my postgraduate study in UK this coming April. But, I just heard that again they put a strict limitation for students who are going to UK.. Huh, I’m tired of applying, plus it costs a lot especially for US and Australian universities, just for the application. I’ve spent so much to apply to US universities for nothing! I don’t wanna to apply to US universities anymore. Hopefully I can get another admission from an Australian university soon.. for back up, I guess. Well, I realize that this is the path each and every single person who decides to be in academic line need to go through.

>> I’ll be there someday, I can go the distance… Fighting!!!

GO THE DISTANCE

I have often dreamed
Of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome
Would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer
When they see my face
And a voice keeps saying
This is where I'm meant to be

I'll be there someday
I can go the distance
I will find my way
If I can be strong
I know ev'ry mile
Will be worth my while
When I go the distance
I'll be right where I belong

Down an unknown road
To embrace my fate
Though the road may wander
It will lead me to you
And a thousand years
Would be worth the wait
It may take a lifetime
But somehow I'll see it through

And I won't look back
I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track
No I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope
But I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance
And my journey is complete

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart

Like a shooting star
I can go the distance
I will search the world
I will face its harms
I don't care how far
I can go the distance
Till I find my hero's welcome
Waiting in your arms...

I will search the world
I will face its harms
Till I find my hero's welcome
Waiting in your arms...
