And I want a moment to be real
Want to touch things I don't feel
Want to hold on and feel I belong
And how can the world want me to change?
They're the ones, they stay the same
They can't see me
But I'm still here

I love this movie and I love this song.

Everytime I hear it, I can always imagine Jim Hawkins hanging on to the rigging of the ship, looking out into the vastness of outer space, remembering the painful past and waiting for his time, ready to show the world what he's really worth. Those few minutes in the movie, to me, are one of the most incredibly mesmerizing moments in all of Disney history. 

And everytime I hear it, sometimes I wish I could feel what he was feeling, just so I could shout the same things out to the world. Good music does that to you :)  Johnny Rzeznik shows us again, what an amazing songwriter he is, really connecting with the song and the character. It's all just brilliant :D

Got back from Sarawak yesterday. Definitely an eventful and interesting trip. Stopped in Miri for a couple of days to visit the grandparents and the rest of the family, before going off to Mulu Caves, a World Heritage Site! It was a really good time, and we got to see some really incredible sights. The Creator knew what He was doing when He said, "It is good". Got to enjoy the wonder of Creation, all of nature's splendour and majesty.

But I'll save that for another post (famous last words), when the millions of pictures get uploaded so that you'll be able to see it a little better. Met some new people, spent time with the family, saw the sights, some unexpected "events", and all in all, a really great trip :)

I'm the one
'Cause I'm still here
