Wo Xin Wo Xing (A Walk of Faith)

A journey of mingled sensation
Ever thought of giving up in the midst of storms
There can be a victory amidst a life filled with tears
When we are willing to offer up our lives again and again

I will no longer dwell in self pity
For there's always sunshine after the storm
No matter how tough the way is, I will persevere on
Making the choice to run towards the Vision undoubtedly.

Chorus
A walk of faith
I have no doubt in my future
Facing everyday full of confidence
Taking on every challenge with total courage.

A walk of faith
This Vision is too great and life is too short
No time to pause and sigh
Let's lay down our burdens and march on.

Nostalgia

Something about my 1st year in Melbourne, which I came across while browsing through some old desktop files..

Unstoppable

I enjoy Denzel Washington's movies, and watching his latest release with my shepherd did not disappoint (for me, at least). Frank Barnes (Washington) is a veteran railroad engineer and single father who struggles in juggling between work and maintaining a good relationship with his 2 daughters; Will Colson (Chris Pine) is his young conductor in the process of dealing with a marriage fallout as a result of a misunderstanding with his estranged wife and kids. Initially both did not like each other as Barnes was forced into early retirement to make way for Colson's recruitment, and Will finds it difficult to tolerate Barnes' dose of sarcasm and harsh treatment.

Nevertheless, amidst their efforts to stop a runaway train (thus putting their own lives at risk), a few things were evident in terms of human relationships; 2 people may not see eye to eye with one another, but if we could learn to see beyond each other's differences and work together towards a common purpose, we could actually discover that we have more in common than ever imagined. In the midst of a crisis, you learn to say "Hey come'on, look at the bigger picture. There are more serious things going on which need to be dealt with, compared to our personal problems, which at times actually do appear petty.." It also shows how at times, it takes courage to do the right thing, even if it meant the costly decision of losing your job..

Anyway, the flick started off slow and builds up towards a climactic conclusion, so hang on :) I read somewhere that they minimise the use of special effects and the actors do most of the stunts themselves, which was cool!
