525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear.
525,600 minutes - how do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
In 525,600 minutes - how do you measure a year in the life?
How about love? How about love? How about love? Measure in love.
Seasons of love.

SOLOIST 1
525,600 minutes! 525,000 journeys to plan.
525,600 minutes - how can you measure the life of a woman or man?

SOLOIST 2
In truths that she learned, or in times that he cried.
In bridges he burned, or the way that she died.

COMPANY
It's time now to sing out, though the story never ends
Let's celebrate remember a year in the life of friends.
Remember the love!
Remember the love! Remember the love!
Measure in love.
Seasons of love! Seasons of love.

Thanks to Gid for directing me to the site. He watched the movie in the US.

Well, obviously, this has started me thinking about life (again...). Sure it's getting boring, but hey, it's my blog isn't it?

K, yesterday, I was with my family at Parco, and when we were leaving, I held the door open for this pretty lady, and when she said "Thank you!"... I didn't reply! I dunno what came over me... I mthink I was busy angsting about something at that moment as well. Gaah, and she said it with this sweet voice that sounded like she really meant it... and I didn't acknowledge it! Argh.

She's one of the few sincere "Thank you!"ers I've held doors open for, but I rudely didn't return the favour with a "You're welcome!" And it's been more than 24 hours and I still can't get over it.

I just realized that this post would be better as my End Of Year post, but since it's here already...

Well, back to the "It's got me thinking"part... After listening to this song so many times it's now stuck in my head and disrupting my concentration to write, I realized that this is the most meaningful song I've heard in a long long time. While Disney songs usually revolve about one aspect of life, this song talks about life itself. The way I see it, it's telling us to be more pessimistic; how incidental that today's Disney movie, Dinosaur, has a theme about the same thing.

Remember, how on my 100th post I read through my blog from beginning to end? Well, I saw my life go from happyhappyhappy! to Gaah-not-again and why-must-this-happen-to-me...why? Now, I'm gonna try to turn myself back to the bright side -- try to be overall happy again. Hmm... not yet though. It'll make a excellent New Year Resolution - together with that 1024-by-768 that I saved from last year - and my current TNN arc needs the angst right now... so... sorry to have gotten your hopes up.

OH well. Remember the love. Measure your year in love.
