Beach Blowout

It's a funny feeling, cos I had imagined I'd be blogging the moment it ended, no matter how it went, but that kind of mellowed out.

I guess I feel for this event more than any other, because it was our brain child, and our first and last event together as a foursome.
How did it go?
Well, here's one thing that lies in the grey zone.
Admittedly, the turn-out wasn't ideal, euphemistically speaking,
but I'll choose to look at what we dished out for those who did come.

The fire was good, the food was fantastic,
and I guess everyone did enjoy themselves.
That was, about all I hoped for,
and I'm glad we made that difference for those who came.

To Leonard, Jerald and Le-Anne especially, I say

Thank you for the music, the songs I'm signing,
thanks for all the joy there're bringing,
Who can live, without it, I ask in all honesty,
What would life be?
Without a song or dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music,
For giving it to me...

Thanks you guys =) for the music and so much more.

And so, what's left of it all, if everything else comes to nought?
I guess the wisdom gleaned from it all, will stay.

It was a tough time, from the point the project was conceived,
and the day itself brought some really cold moments for me too.
I learnt that words are powerful things,
some had given me strength and hope, like a warm hand reaching out to give my heart a little squeeze,
still others felt like a soak in a tub of icy-cold water.
I am thankful for these moments, because they're additions to my inventory of experiences.

I believe it was effort and time well spent,
I believe it was not foolish to have had big dreams on the turn-out,
I believe we have done our very best, and we've done well.

But
I also believe we made several mistakes,
I believe we can learn a lot from the experience,
I believe we are stronger than ever before,
I believe we've laid the foundation stone for a better blowout in the not-so-distant future.

Come on everybody, we're on our way....



Brother Bear- I'm on my way!

Tell everybody i'm on my way
New friends and new places to see
With blue skies ahead, yes i'm on my way
And theres no where else that i'd rather be

Tell everybody i'm on my way
And i'm loving every step i take
With the sun beating down, yes i'm on my way
And i can't keep this smile off my face

Cause theres nothing like, seeing each other again
No matter what the distance between
And the stories that we tell, will make you smile
Oh it really lifts my heart

So tell 'em i'm on my way
New friends and new places to see
And to sleep under the stars I couldn't ask for more
With the moon keeping watch over me

Not the snow and not the rain, can change my mind
The sun will come out, wait and see
And the feeling of the wind
In your face can lift your heart

Oh... theres no where i'd rather be
Cause i'm on my way now
Well and true
I'm on my way there
I'm on my way now(x3)

Tell everybody i'm on my way
And I just can't wait to be there
With blue skies ahead, yes I'm on my way
And nothing but good times to share

So tell everybody I'm on my way
And I just can't wait to be home
With the sun beating down yes I'm on my way
And nothing but good times to show

I'm on my way
Yes, I'm on my way...
