Happy Happy 2008!




We ushered in the new year at home, partly because we know that all the ships in front of us will sound their horns and shoot their firecrackers. Moreover, we didn't want to be with the crowds in Marina Bay where the real fireworks are. 5 minutes before midnight, the ships and yachts blow their horns and it was really a different experience for us urban folks. Then the private yacht in front had a mini firework display that caught us by surprise.

To all my friends, and loved ones, here's toast to a brand new year! And the song that comes to my mind is my favourite singer, Barry Manilow's song..."If I Can Dream".

I hope everyone's dreams will come true in 2008!

There must be lights burning brighter, somewhere
Got to be birds, flying higher in a sky more blue
If I can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Tell me why, oh why, oh why can’t my dream come true
Oh why

There will be peace, and understanding sometime
Strong winds of promise that will blow away
The doubt and fear
If I can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope is shining on everyone
Tell me why, oh why, oh why can’t that sun appear

We’re caught in a cloud, with too much rain
We’re lost in a world, with too much pain
But as long as a man, has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly, and fly

Deep in my heart, there’s a trembling question
But I am sure that the answer’s gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, there’s a burning candle
And if I can think, if I can talk
If I can stand, if I can walk, if I can dream
I’ll make my dream come true

Deep in my heart, there’s a trembling question
But I am sure that the answer’s gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, there’s a burning candle
And if I can think, if I can talk
If I can stand, if I can walk, if I can dream
I’ll make my dream come true

Right, Right now… Right now
Please make my dream come true
Right now
