Its the ending song for the jdrama "Change" which just ended it's run 2 weeks ago.. Its acted by Takuya Kimura who is a school teacher that takes over his late father's position as a politician in the Japanese Diet and subsequently rose to become the Prime Minister of Japan. Though at first he was just manipulated by the 'puppet master' the Senior Cabinent Minister initially to gain popularity for the main party of the government, Takuya broke away from his control and changed the administration of the country to help the needy against his wishes. The main gist of this drama was on how Takuya ran the government and was able to reach out to the citizens and solve the problems the manner they wanted him to and how he was able to touch and move bureacrats with his attitude to helping the citizens of Japan... all this given that he is just an amateur in politics.
** second note on the song... mmm.. i always wonder why songs that carry negative themes such as this song Miles away by Madonna always have catchy tunes and used in dramas such as Change which doesn't have much link to it... mmm..
Anyway.. today been a great day at church... This weekend is St Anne's Feast day and i've been goin to this church since i was young. For the celebrations this year, besides the annual Novena masses, we had a short Praise and Worship session organised by the various choirs each day. Today.. though was my first session the whole week, i was wowed.. its been a long time since i feel so uplifted by a P&W session since caterhism classes during my sec school days. Even though my parents and uncle said that today's session wasnt so good.. anyway.. kudos to the organisers this year.. think the Feast day celebrations are off for a good start.. its was also nice to see the church so crowded and ppl chatting and praying after the mass...
Prayer candles.... One lighted for Celine.. hope she gets better soon...
Anyway, some updates ...
During the 3rd week of Jul, 14- 20th i went for the annual Insinyur... thankfully i didnt turn down the offer to be Ben/Yunshen/Collin/Fang Ting's senior attached to the grp together with Shuwen and Huikai as the other seniors... cos.. it was the best year i've been to so far.. think the 4 of them did a good job. Proud of my spartan freshies, haha.
This year's theme was on the characters in the Lord of the Rings... our group was named UrukHai, after the troll warriors.. What can be said of our OG this year? Its one of the most happening grp and most united one. Our grp is like one of the smartest grp.. for most of the IQ challenges like the amazing race and puzzle questions we solved them damn quickly but for those challenges that are more physically inclined, we kinda sucked in them. End of the whole camp.. i think we should be the second best group... Losing only by 5 points to the best group Gollum. wasted sia..
anyway.. some highlights
haha.. since after the camp, i've watched Hellboy 2 with the group and gone for a beach outing. though it was raining largely during the day though. Hope everyone enjoyed the outings as much as i did.. felt a lil bad though on the beach outing day.. didnt mingle much wif the main grp tat day cos i kept playing beach volleyball..
Hopefully later in the day.. i won't get called up.. I'm so going to watch the Dark Knight man.
Besides this, i also went to celebrate Sing Phang's bdae, more updates on that later.. but one last thing before i sign off this post... Kudos for Leslie.. for hitting the "jackpot" on that same week as my foc camp.. haha. Miracles do happen.. Good for you..
