Hakuna Matata

My Song of the Week is already playing :D
The very song you hear when you enter this blog (assuming that you do not have any pop-up blocker or disabled Java) is Hakuna Matata.
I chose the one from the original movie, The Lion King.
 

SONG LRYICS
Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze

It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy

Hakuna Matata!
Hakuna Matata?

Yeah. It's our motto!

What's a motto?

Nothing. What's a-motto with you?

Those two words will solve all your problems

That's right. Take Pumbaa here
Why, when he was a young warthog...

When I was a young wart hog

He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the savannah after every meal
I'm a sensitive soul though I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
And oh, the shame 
He was ashamed
Thought of changin' my name 
What's in a name?
And I got downhearted 
How did ya feel?
Everytime that I...
Hey! Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids!
Oh. Sorry

Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze

It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!

Hakuna Matata! Hakuna matata!
Hakuna Matata! Hakuna matata!
Hakuna Matata! Hakuna matata!
Hakuna Matata! Hakuna--

It means no worries for the rest of your days

It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
(Repeats)

I say "Hakuna"

I say "Matata"
<END>

Every song has a meaning
I chose this song for this week.
It's simple. We Singaporeans live in a stressful envoirnment.
We students have to deal with the constant onslaught of homework and countless exams.
Although we cannot deny the fact that there is often sufficient time for us to do our work, to revise for our exams, it is an undeniable fact that we get stressed out.
We often dont have time to sit down and just watch a movie to just chat with our friends.

Adults can hardly stop working now in our tough society.
My mum often say that it is impossible to get a job now without a proper Full Time University degree.
I cannot help but feel just so super sad about it.
I look at America, where people do what they love for a living. 
Well at least 60% of the country do, i believe.
Their economy may be in a crsis, yet their people are united as one.
They have each other to lean on if they are out of breath. 
They can depend on one another easily since they have a community to live with.
Yea there'll definitely be quarrels among the community.
But it is obvious, they live with Hakuna Matata in mind.
A problem free philosophy.
A stress free life.
No worries for the rest of your life. 
Isn't that something everyone kinda wish to have?

Think about it from another point of view.
Perhaps it is impossible to have a problem free life, yet what would life be without happiness?
If you had all the money in the world, yet you have no one to talk to, no one to share your wealth with, no one to be happy with, what would be the point of living?

So to all those people feeling downcasted out there, for whatever reason, stop.
Hakuna Matata! Face every new day with pride and be brave to take on all the challenges.
Live itself is a gift, dont waste it.

Have a great day!

Look forward to tomorrow, because i believe in a better tomorrow :D
