some dreams live on in time forever
those dreams,you want with all your heart
and i will do whatever it takes
follow through with the promise i made
put it all on the line
what i hoped for at last would be mine
if i could reach,higher
just for one moment touch the sky
from that one moment in my life
i am gonna be stronger
know that i have tried my very best
i would put my spirit to the test
if i could reach
some days are meant to be remembered
those days we rise above the stars
so i will go the distance this time
seeing more the higher i climb
that the more i believe
all the more that this dream would be mine

Andreas took me out for a movie earlier in the evening. He got tickets to this Norwegian film ‘Hawaii, Oslo’ since GV and the Sg Film Society are having a Nordic film fest now.
The show was quite good with different stories running through it and many queer characters. Intertwining plots reminded me of Closer and I think some of Wong Ka Wai’s films. Not exactly the best film to get a true glimpse of Oslo but Andreas explained how it was shot in the east side and all,where things are sort of different from the west side. When the camera did a panoramic shot of the neighborhood where the setting was,he could even point out to me the block where his friend stays! How interesting hehe. Somehow apparently Norwegian films have this dreary mood to them and we wonder why.
After the show we went to New Asia Bar for a bite. He likes the atmosphere,music and the view there. I sort of remembered they had a smart casual dress code thing there but hey we entered with tee and denims on. Hmm,maybe because it’s a weekday night. People there appear mainly to be yuppie expat bosses with their staff. Thought of Xiuzi and her gang at Balaclava on Fridays heh. Settled with a good chat over pizza and beer,and later more drinks into the night. Didn’t realize how late it was till the dimmed lights were brightened,signaling it's time for home. Well,fun we sure had,if it wasn't a subconscious attempt at delaying the much needed work on our theses haha. I think we might as well be committing academic suicide here.
Tomorrow is another long day,going to catch Brokeback I hope. Tired...time to get some sleep for now. ;)
