An extremely nice and touching song..

Dance with My Father by Luther Vandross

Shouldn't I be less in love with You?

2008-05-07T21:44:00.002+08:00

I simply love this song called, Shouldn't I be less in love with You.

I'm currently learning this song! I simply love the display of emotions in this piece - sadness, confusion, frustration and ultimately love!

Quick Update

2008-05-07T21:38:00.002+08:00

Hi all!

It has been an extremely long time since I last updated my blog.

So sorry cuz I've been busy with school!!

I'm in Bible School right now as I wait for my university to began in August this year.

Anyways, in case if u didn't know, I have turned 21! =D

Here are some videos of my performance during my birthday party at Home Club...

Sandi Patty

2008-03-19T12:43:00.002+08:00

Here is a song by Sandi Patty called Upon This Rock.

The lyrics of the song are simply awe-spiring!

When others see with earthly eyes
Just what they want to see
You will see the things that never die
You will know and recognize
By simple child-like faith
The priceless truth that
Others will deny.

When others say I'm just a man
Who likes to dream His dreams
When others call a miracle a myth
You'll listen for eternity
In moments as they pass
And see with spirit eyes
What others miss.

Upon this rock I'll build My kingdom
And on this rock forever and ever it shall stand
And all the powers of Hell itself
Shall never more prevail against it
For Satan's thrones are built on sinking sand
Upon this rock I'll build My kingdom
And on this rock forever and ever it shall stand
Upon this rock of revelation
I'll build a strong and mighty nation
And it shall stand the storms of time
Upon this rock.

If in a simple carpenter
You see the Son of God
If you would chose to lose
When you could win
If you would give your life away
For nothing in return
Then you are where
My kingdom will begin.

Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love

2008-02-28T10:29:00.003+08:00

I happened to chance upon another song in youtube.

The song is called Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis.

Watch her live performance of the song at the Echo 2008 Awards!
Apparently she was very sick on that day but she still managed to perform the song excellently.

Closed off from love
I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you're frozen

But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground
Found something true
And everyone's looking round
Thinking I'm going crazy

But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling

But nothing's greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I'm going crazy, maybe, maybe

But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

And it's draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I'll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see

I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I

Memories of VJC and VJ Choir

2008-02-25T20:58:00.002+08:00

I just received a VJC alumni e-newsletter through my email and I saw this crazy video!

Haha! I guess this goes to show that VJC is still as crazy as ever!! =D
Oh man.. I miss VJC!

As I began to search youtube, I even found one of VJC choir's compeition song for SYF 2005 - Pamugun!

Oh man.. this really brings back lots of memories.. Sighs
I miss VJC CHOIR!!!

Indeed, No man is an island... *sniffs*sniffs*

Carrie Underwood

2008-02-17T19:07:00.002+08:00

I happen to chance upon this song by Carrie Underwood - Jesus, Take The Wheel.

It is a song that speaks of total surrender to God. A beautiful song of redemption.

She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat
Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline
It would been a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
She was going way to fast
Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was sooo scared
She threw her hands up in the air

Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this all on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel

It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock
And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been living my life
I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight

Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this all my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on

Oh, Jesus take the wheel
Oh, I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it from me
Oh, why, oh

Kite Runner

2008-02-14T20:30:00.003+08:00

I went to watch Kite Runner ytd with Brendan.
It was a fabulous show with a touching plot! One of the best movies that I've watched so far!

In short, the movie speaks of Agape Love - Unconditional love that transcends time and space.

Here's a quote from the movie that really touches my heart, "For You, a thousand times over!"

=p

Anyways, just want to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day!

Take care and God Bless!

遇見另外一個人 by 許茹芸

2008-02-13T10:43:00.000+08:00

I jus found another song written by Wing.

The song is called 遇見另外一個人 and it is sung by 許茹芸.

It is an extremely simple bu melodious and touching song.

Here is the video and lyrics...

如果有一天
我可以忘记了你
也许是因为我
遇见了另外一个人
可能他的出现
弥补了想你空隙
曾经不愿意不肯相信
已经过去我们的爱情
以为都能忘记转身又想起你
也只能靠时间来沉淀来清洗来抚平
只是有时候
连自己都怀疑啊
那阵风是否因为你想我才引起
转身又想起你
哪一天能忘记
不一定靠时间能沉淀能清洗能够抚平
所以有的时候笑自己傻的可以
希望下一次遇见那一个人他会像你

2008-02-11T20:27:00.000+08:00

Wing 羅文裕 came to our Church yesterday to sing.
Initially, I thought that he was jus another boy-band singer who looks good but can't sing at all.
However, to my surprise his singing was superb! He played his guitar and sang live.

=P

Here are some of his songs:

O-R-D LOH!

lol.. I feel so relieved.. so lighthearted now!

Yesterday was my last day in RRR camp. I think I'm gonna miss that place a lot :(
Gonna miss my superiors - my Mdm, my Sir..
Gonna miss the officers.. gonna miss my office guys..
Oh wells...

Anwyays I had a great last day in camp yesterday. My Mdm gave me a Parker pen! Heh... It was so thoughtful of her! I'm gonna use that pen in Uni this year! =D

One of the officers, MAJ Lee EF, even treated all the Nsfs in my office for lunch at Vivo City! We ate at this restaurant called "The Mussel Guys". The portions were pretty huge and we were all very full after the lunch. Saving the best for the last, Kelvin who organised the lunch suprised us with an ORD cake from Secret Recipe! I was pretty touched by this surprise =P It was a huge chocolate cake and it came at the time jus when I wished there was dessert after the lunch! Heh... To end off the lunch, the 4 of us who ORD even had a farewell card with well wishes written by our office guys. I felt so loved by the end of the lunch.

Here's a shoutout to all the Nsfs in my office:
THanks a loT! I really appREciate the lunCH :)

2008-01-17T21:27:00.000+08:00

It has been a terribly long time since I last wrote an entry.

Wells, I am finally going to be released from the National Service. 2 years really seem to pass quickly in a blink of the eye. Looking back, it is really amazing how God granted me the desires of my heart.

I enlisted on 20th Jan 2006. Stepping into Tekong afraid and alone, God gave me bunk mates who were there whenever I needed them. Posting into the School of Ammuition, God gave me wisdom to study for my course in ammunition. Transiting over to HQ SAFAC, God gave me confidence and courage to engage strangers in Commander's Office. Indeed, it has been a fulfilling experience.

Now to move forward in the next phase of my life...

New Year 2008

2008-01-01T14:02:00.000+08:00

HAPPY NeW YEAR!

hahaahah... I went to watch fireworks last nite...
It was B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!

Somehow in the midst of the thundering fireworks and people pushing each other, I felt the peace and assurance of God for 2008. Just like God showing His promises to Abraham using the stars in the sky and sand of the beach, God used the fireworks to reassure me of His glorious promises.

Here are some pics...

Yvonne Chiu from Taiwan and ShuPing from Malacca

2007-12-20T11:37:00.000+08:00

It has been quite a long time since I was blogged, so I decided to start bloggin again if not i would really be lagging behind.

Recently, I got to know Yvonne Chiu and ShuPing through my Dad. Yvonne is from Taiwan while ShuPing is from Malacca. Both of them came to Singapore for a few days. Yvonne is actually currently doing her PHD in animation film and she actually came with a team from Taiwan to Singapore a week before for the Design Festival. I spent 3 days with them bringing them around Singapore. As Yvonne is doing some research for the PHD paper, I brought them to National Library, Esplanade, Borders and Page One. I really had a great time with them, chatting and laughing. Though there was slight language barrier as my chinese had gone rusty, we managed to connect pretty well. It was such a pity that I couldn't spend more time with them.

Here are some pictures we took:

From the Left: Me, Yvonne Shuping

Last picture taken before we parted.

I wonder when I could see them again...

Andrea Bocelli

2007-11-30T21:35:00.001+08:00

Because We Believe by Andrea Bocelli

Guarda fuori e’gia’mattina
Questo e’un giorno che ricorderai
Alzati in fretta e vai
C’è chi crede in te
Non ti arrendere

Once in every life
There comes a time
We walk out all alone
And into the light
The moment won’t last but then,
We remember it again
When we close our eyes.

Like stars across the sky
E per avvincere
Tu dovrai vincere
We were born to shine
All of us here because we believe

Guarda avanti e non voltarti mai
Accarezza con i sogni tuoi
Le tue speranze e poi
Verso il giorno che verrà
C’è un traguardo là

Like stars across the sky
E per avvincere
Tu dovrai vincere
We were born to shine
All of us here because we believe

Non arrenderti
Qualcuno è con te

Like stars across the sky
We were born to shine
E per avvincere
Dovrai vincere
E allora vincerai

My Life, Future and Passion

2007-11-30T20:49:00.000+08:00

Sorry for not writing a post for a long long time.

I've been quite busy with Church, gym and tuition. Most of the time when I'm back home it would be 10pm plus and I would only have an hour to go online to check emails and stuff. Thats why I have been posting youtube videos =p

Anyways, I have been thinking quite a fair bit about life recently - my future, in particular. As most of you might have already know, I will be ORD-ing in 2 months time. I must say that though I feel relieved that my NS period is over, I'm worried about my future. Somehow I feel as if I'm thrown back to where I was 2 years ago! The period after my A levels when I was trying to determine my passion and my future. Somehow I feel like as if I am back to square one. I feel that as if I had not move forward in the past 2 years! It is quite a scary feeling - the uncertainty of not knowing what I should do.

Though I'm already granted the MOE local teaching scholarship to study Psychology in NTU, I still feel strongly about fulfiling my passion - singing. I know that going into singing is pretty uncertain and risky. It also means that I have to go overseas to study music and singing. Quite a lot of stuff to consider. Perhaps I should take a gap year to try out singing first. See if it works out.

Oh wells...

So Small by Carrie Underwood

2007-11-01T23:51:00.000+08:00

I just happened to chance upon this song and fell in love with it instantly..
The song has touching lyrics, nice tune coupled with a powerful voice and sexy babe..

So Small by Carrie Underwood

What you got if you aint got love?
The kind that you just wanna give away
It's okay to open up
Go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it's hard on a rainy day
You wanna shut the world out
And just be left alone
Don't run out on your faith

Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
What you've been out there searching for forever,
Is in your hands
When you figure out love is all that matters, after all
It sure makes everything else
Seem so small

It's so easy to get lost inside
A problem that seems so big, at the time
It's like a river that's so wide
It swallows you whole
While you're sittin round thinking about what you can't change
And worryin' about all the wrong things
Time's flying by, moving so fast
You better make it count, cause you can't get it back

Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
What you've been out there searchin for forever
Is in your hands
Oh, When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Oh it sure makes everything else
Seem so small

Passed Driving Test!

2007-10-29T23:01:00.000+08:00

Behold, my beloved, I have something important to announce!

I HAVE PASSED MY DRIVING TEST TODAY!!

Praise the LORD!!

I was actually quite worried for my driving test today.

Firstly, the weather wasn't what I expected it to be. It was gloomy and on the verge of raining. It was certainly gracious of God to just send a few drops of rain down instead of a whole downpour.

Secondly, my driving test was at 4.30pm so I was actually a bit tired by then. I couldn't focus as well as in the morning when I had my driving lesson.

Thirdly, due to the drizzle, my windscreen was like blurred so I can't see properly.

Fourthly, my driving test route was one of the hardest and most congested.

Fifth, my driving tester looked very grumpy. However, he was surprisingly friendly. Thank God for that!

Really have to thank God for giving me a good driving tester! Heh...
Because my test route was SO congested that he lead me to some other roads instead..

So in the end, the test route turned out to be very easy! And i PASSED!!

Oh man.. ALL this would have been impossible if NOT for GOD...
Indeed, with GOD, ALL things ARE possible!
AMEN!

My Father's Heart by Rachael Lampa

2007-10-17T12:07:00.000+08:00

My Father's Heart by Rachael Lampa

Let everything that breathe praise You,
The earth, the sky, the sea praise You.
Just as nature shows to us Your blessing,
Soon I find my heart confessing.

My love is not my own.
It all belongs to You;
And after all You've done, the least that I can do
Is live my life in every part
Only to please my Father's heart.

Love is all You need to heal us,
Flowing from the heavens Jesus.
And with one voice well sing together;
And this will be our song forever.

My love is not my own.
It all belongs to You;
And after all You've done, the least that I can do
Is live my life in every part
Only to please my Father's heart.

Oh, my love is not my own.
It all belongs to You;
And after all You've done, the least that I can do
Is live my life in every part
Only to please my Father's heart.
Only to please my Father's heart.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Indeed, whatever we say and do must please God's heart.
Nice song by Rachael Lampa =D

Yesterday was an amazing day for me. I could really see how God's hand was upon me everywhere I went despite of the difficulties I experienced.

I had a tight schedule in the afternoon as I had to go down to TTSH for my blood test, followed by driving lesson at 2pm and tuition at 4.30pm. Thank God that I managed to leave camp at 12.20pm and hitch a ride down the hill. Within less than 2mins of reaching the bus-stop, my bus came and I managed to reach TTSH at 1pm. However, I waited for 45mins for my blood test as the nurses were on lunch break.

By the time I left TTSH it was already 1.50pm and I was running very late for my driving lesson at 2pm! I didn't had any money to take taxi down to Ubi Driving Centre and could only take public transport. To make matters worse, I could not walk properly at all. The moment I left TTSH, there was a sharp pain in my left knee. So every step I took was in excruciating pain. I couldn't bend my left knee and neither could I put much weight on it. I was limping all the way from TTSH to Novena Mrt.

I almost cried because I felt so helpless. Though it was my body, I had no control over the pain that was hitting me with every step and because of the pain, I couldn't walk fast. I cried in my spirit to God to heal me. Miraclously, with every step I took, the pain slowly but surely went away. By the time I reached Ubi Driving Centre at 2.30pm, the pain was almost gone and I was able to drive properly.

Thank God for His neverending grace and mercy!!
=D
i Love YOU!

Life & Trust

2007-09-30T22:28:00.000+08:00

Life and Trust are almost similar but yet different identities...

Both can disappear in a split moment..
In a fatal mistake Life can be lost Trust can be broken..

Life that is lost can never be found back again..
Only God is the giver of Life..
Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life..

Though Trust that is broken can be mended..
It will never be fully back again..
Only God is faithful and never-changing..
In Him only can we place our totalTrust..

Only God reigns over Life and Trust..

Corrinne May - Beautiful Seed

2007-09-25T15:03:00.000+08:00

I have been listening to Corrinne May's latest album the whole day.
Its called Beautiful Seed.

I feel that this is her best album yet.
Her songs and lyrics are all so meaningful.

Here's my favourite - Five Loaves and Two Fishes

A little boy of thirteen was on his way to school
He heard a crowd of people laughing and he went to take a look
Thousands were listening to the stories of one man
He spoke with such wisdom even the kids could understand

The hours passed so quickly the day turned into night
Everyone was hungry but there was no food in sight
The boy looked in his lunchbox at the little that he had
He wasn't sure what good it'd do there were thousands to be fed

But he saw the twinkling eyes of Jesus the kindness in His smile
and the boy cried out with the trust of a child
He said

Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and my inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all to feed them all

I often think about that boy when I'm feeling small
and I worry that the work I do means nothing at all
But every single tear I cry is a diamond in His hands
and every door that slams in my face I will offer up in prayer

So I'll give You every breath that I have
Oh Lord, You can work miracles
All You need is my "Amen"

Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and my inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
I hope it's not too small

I trust in You
I trust in You

Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and my inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
No gift is too small

Hamster (Swollen)

2007-09-25T13:53:00.000+08:00

I woke up this morning shocked to find myself looking like a hamster.

Don't worry, I haven't become furry over the night.

Its just that my left cheek is swollen and I look like a hamster who has hidden food in my left cheek. Hah.. Its not a very nice feeling with one side of your face heavier the other. And if i walk a bit too fast, my left cheek will be wobbling up and down.

All i could do is to use ice-pack and pray...

oH God...

On a brighter note, my wound has stopped bleeding completely!! Yay... =D

No More Wisdom (tooth)

2007-09-24T17:55:00.000+08:00

hah...

I now declare myself lack of human wisdom

(ps. cuz i jus removed one of my four wisdom tooth... gonna remove the other one next round)

SO

NOW i need GOD's wisdom... heh..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a serious note, I went to extract my wisdom tooth at National Dental Centre today. The operation was scheduled at 9.30am. As I heard lots of horror stories of wisdom tooth extraction, I was slightly apprehensive. I was supposed to remove 2 of my bottom wisdom teeth. However, I decided to remove one first so that at least I have my other side for eating and drinking. Hah... If not I dunoe how I would survive.

I went for the local anesthetic which means that I will be fully awake and aware of my surroundings throughout the operation. The dentist injected 3 jabs of the anesthetic and before i knew it half of my mouth, gums, tongue went numb. It felt funny but yet it was a great feeling! Hah.. I couldn't stop smiling and giggling to myself.

Soon, I was wrapped up, including my eyes. So all I could see was just a bright light. It was quite scary cuz it felt like I was on the death bed dying. Before I knew it, the dentist was cutting my gums thought I felt nothing at all. All i knew was that I was singing an old hymm. I can't really remember it now but I was just singing and singing and worshipping God.

I think the most horrifying part was when the dentist started drilling my wisdom teeth in order to break them up into smaller pieces for easier extraction. Though I couldn't see or feel any pain except for the virbation of the drilling, the loud drilling sound was enough to cause me to imagine the bloody mass that was being created. However, I kept my focus on God. Heh.. Only HE can save me now. Again before i know it, the dentist had already taken out my wisdom tooth and was in the sitching up process. Within less than 10 mins, everything was done and I gave a sigh of relief. Heh... Finally, it was all over.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, the wound has finally stopped bleeding.
Thank GOD for the quick and successful operation! Heh.. It wasn't as bad as I thought.
Thank GOD for my mum who accompanied me down for the surgery and her concern over me.
Thank GOD for my dad who called me from JB to wish me all the best for the surgery.
Thank GOD for my cg members who prayed for me.. Esp Brendan..
Thank GOD for my ns friends.. Lingo and Louis who answered my qns on the operation.

Our GOD is a great GOD =D

Colin's Mum's Funeral

2007-09-13T00:09:00.000+08:00

I just came home from Colin's Mum's funeral wake.

Colin seems much better today. Though he still seems a bit lost and uncertain how to handle the situation, he is still coping pretty well. I managed to find my way down to the housing block of funeral wake. Thank God I didn't get lost. By the time I reach down there, it was already 9.45pm. I rushed down after my Bible Study at Riverwalk. Joshua also went down to the funeral wake today.

=p

I'm so so freaking tired. Yawns.

Nights ppl.

Nick Vujicic

2007-09-11T23:48:00.000+08:00

Nick Vujicic is simply amazing!

He certainly shows how the glory, power and strength of God is perfected and displayed through his disabilities and weaknesses. Though he has been born without any limbs, he lives a fulfilling life that has certainly achieved more than anyone of us who is born with all 4 normal limbs.

Indeed, only when we are weak then are we strong!

TTSH - Colin's Mum

2007-09-11T00:08:00.000+08:00

Colin's mum has passed away at around 1am on the 11th Sept 2007.

Though I have never talked to her face-to-face before, I felt a burden for her in my heart. When I went down to TTSH the night before, I really felt in my spirit that healing would take place in her body. However, God, in His mighty ways, didn't cause physical healing to take place.

Perhaps spiritual and emotional healing was taking place.
Healing that can't be seen but can be felt.

May God's hand be upon Colin and his family!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This entry is dated 10th Sept.

I just came back from Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

I went to visit Colin's mum who suffered a terrible stroke on Sunday morning and had been in a deep coma till now. When I arrived at the ICU, it seems that his mum had been already declared brain dead by the doctor and was suriving on life-support. The family members were trying their best to prolong the time before making the decision to pull the plug out, so as to give Colin's mum a second chance to wake up from her coma. However as time passes, it seemed that all hope was waning away. A second opinion was sought after in order to accurately access the critical situation. All the family members, relatives, friends and church friends were present. Together, we prayed for Colin's mum.

Colin remained strong throughout the whole ordeal. He was the one keeping the family together - his father and older brother. However, I could sense that at any one moment, he could simply just breakdown and cry. He had to stay strong for the sake of his family.

I guess what scares me most was how fast the entire incident started and ended. It only took 2 days! After 2 days, everything and everyone has changed in the family. To think that Colin and his family were actually planning for a family holiday trip a few days before this incident. I guess we must really really treasure what we have with us now!

May God bless and comfort Colin and his family!

Jewish Synagogoue

2007-08-26T22:12:00.000+08:00

I went to the Jewish Synagogue on Friday at Waterloo Street.
It was my very first time there and I felt quite nervous initially as I didn't know what to do or expect.

I felt very privileged to be allowed into the synagogue to see how the Jews worship God. It was a short one hour service with a guy leading the recitations throughout. The recitations were done in a singing manner and there were mainly verses from the book of Pslams. As everything was in Aramaic, I couldn't really understand. It sounded like tongues to me. Heh. =p Lucikly there were english translation in the book of recitations. =D

I gonna go sleep liao. Tmr still got duty.
Nights ppl!

881 - 一人一半

2007-08-19T23:22:00.000+08:00

finally... I manage to catch 881 =D
sheesh.. the movie is so nice.. touching.. heartwarming but yet at the same time.. it is funny and shows the harsh reality of life.. Certainly one of the nicest movie I have watched by far.. heh

The songs in the movie are also simply amazing.. they are very touching and the lyrics are very real =p

Below is the lyrics for the song called 一人一半 ...

一人一半感情不散
一人一素故感情才会久

时光累积安静的泪滴
一心去追爱那么可贵

这样的人这样地等
无非是等个回应眼神
为爱反滚不及伤痕
甘心为你一身都浮沉

这样的人别笑我蠢
傻傻的心痛也不觉疼
就算天冷就算难残忍
等你想起这没用的人

一人一半感情不散
已经找到爱为何要离开

Accidents

2007-08-15T23:55:00.000+08:00

It was quite a scary day today.

In the morning while I was at the bus stop at Dover Mrt waiting for my bus to go to camp, I witness a mini car accident. It was a 3 lane one-way road and the cars were travelling at high speeds as it was a straight road all the way. The first car stopped in the middle of the left lane to drop someone. The car following it managed to stopped in time even though it was quite abrupt. Here comes the trouble, the taxi behind the second car didn't manage to break in time. The taxi screeched and it hit the back of the second car. I was only less than 20 metres away from the accident. The back-lights of the second car broke and shattered into pieces. Thank God that no one was hurt in the accident and the drivers managed to settle the case amicably.

The second accident I witness today just when I was on my way home from Bible Study just now. It happened at Bedok Mrt. I was going down the escalator and reached the bottom of it when i realised that there was a crowd gathering there. Then I realised that the other escalator beside it was not moving and there was a bag in the middle of the escalator. Spectators were crowding around and speculating about what just happened. Then an Indian man in his forties appeared and walked down the escalator. He took the bag and he seemed to have hurt the back of his head. It was bleeding. He kept saying that he is alright and walked away.

Sheesh... It was really quite a scary day. Our human bodies are really very fragile, just like earthen vessels that can be broken any time.

On a lighter note, I went for Bible Study at Riverwalk just now. It was fabulous! Hah... I love it =D It feels so so good to be back for Bible Study classes. Somehow there is just this certain atmosphere and synergy in the class that energizes me up!

okies.. time to sleep =D Nites people...

881 - Royston Tan's movie

2007-08-14T22:06:00.000+08:00

Heh.. I am so so addicted to the soundtracks of Royston Tan's latest movie - 881.
Despite the glamour of the advertisements for 881, the movie is actually a sad tale of the late MingZhu sisters who were GeiTai singers. It is the Hokkien version of Moulin Rouge.

Anyone wanna watch with me? I have yet to watch it ;(

Happy National Day!

2007-08-09T23:51:00.000+08:00

after cg.. we went with another bigger group of China friends to City Hall to see fireworks at the Padang... it was fabulous! heh.. we reached Padang at around 7pm plus and managed to find an empty space to sit down to watch the live screening of the NDP on the big big TV... It was nice.. Indeed this is one of the better performances among all the years.. heh... I felt so heartwarming and proud to be a Singaporean =D

Praise the Lord for the good governance He has blessed us with!

Heh... Indeed, prayer works wonders!
On Monday night, the church gathered to pray for Sun and the breakthrough came that very night when she was named the music ambassador!

Praise the LORD!
This morning on my way to camp, I was still telling God how wonderful it would be if Sun would be able to sing for the Beijing Olympics. Heh...

Oh man... I'm so excited.. so happy.. so greatful.. oh GOD.. Thank You so much..

Orphans of God

2007-05-24T08:10:00.000+08:00

Orphans Of God

Who here among us has not been broken
Who here among us is without guilt or pain
So often abandoned by our transgressions
If such a thing as grace exists
Then grace was made for lives like this

There are no strangers
There are no outcasts
There are no orphans of God
So many fallen, but hallelujah
There are no orphans of God

Come ye unwanted and find affection
Come all ye weary, come and lay down your head
Come ye unworthy, you are my brother
If such a thing as grace exists
Then grace was made for lives like this

O blessed Father, look down upon us
We are Your children, we need Your love
We run before Your throne of mercy
And seek Your face to rise above

Preaching Challenge

2007-05-21T16:18:00.001+08:00

It has been quite a while since my previous entry.

Life has been good to me. Though it might not be very smooth all the time but I'm hanging on to God.

Just wanna thank God for allowing me to finally get my permanment excuse for arms =D
YAY!! Heh. The MO whom I met was very friendly. He is like the nicest doctor whom I've ever met. Heh. He actually sympathises with my illness. Sheesh. I wonder how many doctors every feel that way.

I went for VJ Choir annual concert, Symphony of Voices, at Esplanade on Tuesday. It was fabulous!!! Heh. Seeing my juniors singing on the stage makes me feel like running up there to join them also. Its heartening to see VJ Choir improving so much since my batch. I met many of my VS and VJ seniors and juniors. It felt like a big family reunion night =D

On Sat, I went for Preaching Challenge at Expo. It wasn't as scary as what I had imagined it to be. Heh. Everything went pretty smooth and well. I just had a slight panic attack as it was my first time participating. Thank God for Brendan who was really supportive =p Even though he wasn't with me, he kept encouraging me through sms. Heh. I managed to preached half of what I prepared to the 2 pastors who were the judges. I think I performed pretty well. =D

Yesterday, I went for my Final Theory E-trial test. It was quite good. Heh. Though I didn't study much, I managed to pass! Now, I'm waiting for the real test which is on the 28th May. It will be a breeze to me. Heh. In the evening, I went for a JC class BBQ gathering. I met up with Jin Rong, Kuo Ren and Josh first at Pasir Ris Mrt before going down to Costa Sands chalet. About half of the class turned up for the BBQ. It was pretty nice to see each other again after such a long time =D I left at around 1045pm as I still had to go back to camp the next day while the rest of the class stayed behind.

I miss VJC.
I miss VJ Choir.
I miss VS.

Went for Sun's autograph session before service today.

It was fabulous. Heh. I managed to see her up-close, shook hands and got her autograph. Heh.

I'm very inspired by Sun. The charity works that she is doing in China, the songs that she sings, the way she carries herself, the strength and determination that she possess. It is just totally amazing!

Psalm 121

2007-05-04T00:19:00.000+08:00

Psalm 121

1I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

2My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

3He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

4Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

6The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

7The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

8The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

He Yao Sun

2007-05-01T21:32:00.000+08:00

I met my Ex ytd to go shopping together for bags.
It seems so hard to find the ideal bag as they were mostly of the wrong size and boring design.
The 2 bags that I liked were from Bally and Zara.

The bag from Bally was of the correct, ideal size. However, the design is too plain. It looked just like another black bag.
The bag from Zara was of a nice colour and cool design. However, it was too big.
Sheesh... its so hard to find my ideal bag.

Oh wells...

Today was Labour Day. My day started with gym and tuition. After which, I went down to Expo for my church's Family Day. Frankly speaking, I didn't really feel like going down. Perhaps the stigma of "Family Day" dwelt in my heart. I had to persuade myself to go down. Anyways, the Family Day was so much better than what I expected!!! Heh...

We started queuing up at 2.30pm for the concert which started at 3.45pm. The concert was fabulous. It started off with some praise songs and anouncements. Then there were lucky draw! Sheesh... too bad I wasn't "lucky" enough to win the 3 Day 2 Night trip to HK DisneyLand... Oh wells.. heh... Every CGL were also given a new HP!!! Sheesh.. Hah...

The best part of the concert was of cuz our very own He Yao Sun~! She rocks totally!! Heh.. Indeed, her singing and songs touch ppl in a special way.. Heh... I do admit that I'm not really a fan of hers initally. However, after hearing and watching her sing, my heart was touched by her songs, by her sincerity... Heh.. I even went infront of the stage to catch a better view and glimpse of her! Heh... It was exciting and I even got to shake hands with her =D

Indeed, what Dorcas said is so true. The money we give to Church for missions in China isn't able to impact much people as China is still very much against Christianity. However, the money that we use to buy Sun's album goes to her royalties which goes to help so many ppl in China! Look at the education centres and foundations that she is setting up to impact the ppl in China! It is just simply amazing...

There was just a strong atmosphere of love and family during the whole concert...
Thank God for He Yao Sun =D
She is just simply amazing...

Emotional Roller Coaster

2007-04-30T23:45:00.000+08:00

Benny Hinn Weekend!

2007-04-15T23:34:00.000+08:00

It has been the most tiring but exciting and fulfilling and anionted weekend I have ever had =D

From friday night to today, I was involved in the Benny Hinn Choir. It has been an amazing experience to sing and see the miracles and wonders of God!

I have nothing more to say but that our God is an awesome GOD! =p

Rejoice!! Heh...

Pastor Benny says that he likes our church choir so much that he wants us to sing for him during his Israel trip at the end of the year! Hah... I pray that it will certainly to past... How I wish to visit the that special place where Jesus was crucified for our sins...

I'm tired.. Yawns.. Tmr will be a GREAT day =D

Easter Weekend

2007-04-08T22:01:00.000+08:00

It has been a GREAT Easter Weekend!!

Just wanna Thank GOd for ALL the friends that came for all our 5 services =D
It has been another amazing feat.. heh.. Of cause it is not by our might or power but by the Spirit of God!

There are quite a lot of thoughts that I can't express properly...
The Easter drama touched and melted my heart..
It made me realised even more the character of Jesus.. His love.. His compassion..
The hurts and temptations that He went through... Indeed, we do not have a High Priest who is not sympathetic but who has been through what we are going through!
Heh...

I love God.. I love Jesus.. I love Holy Spirit... Heh...

I can't wait for Benny Hinn Weekend.. Its gonna be GREAT! Yea...

Duty tmr!!! Time to rest... heh... wanan try to use my facial mask..

Ciao~

Good Friday

2007-04-07T00:12:00.000+08:00

Happy Good Friday~!

Okies... Good Friday is supposed to be sad because its the day when Jesus was crucified ;(

Anyways.. it had been a long and tiring day for me. I went to gym in the morning after which I went to Cui Xi's house for lunch. She cooked spaghetti and made strawberry cheesecake! Heh. Not bad not bad... Then, I rushed down to Expo for service at 5pm.

Today's service is great! The drama is absolutely cool!! Heh.. The settings and props used are superbly done =D The drama was quite touching as I tried my best to hold back my tears to prevent myself from crying out loud. Heh... After service, we went to have dinner at the carnival =D

yawns.. I'm tired.. tmr will be another long but fruitful day!!
Yay... Praise to to God! I love U, Jesus =p

=D

Just want to thank God for this wonderful birthday I had this year.
Thank God for my parents... for the presents... for my friends...

I met Shawn, Sean, Yew Siong, Gary and Marcus for dinner at Marina Square just now. We went to Waraku to eat Jap food. heh.. SO FULL... I love Waraku cuz their servings are huge and the quality is good and prices are afforable. We had a great time of chatting and laughing and eating. Heh. Just wanna say thanks to Shawn for organising the dinner and treating me =D

After the dinner, we went around Marina Square scouting for desserts. Initially, we wanted to go to another Jap restaurant to try out their dessert but we walked passed this cafe and they had 50% off on their cakes every Tues, so we went in there instead. Their cakes are not bad =D
Hah... My friends they actually bought a slice of cake from TCC earlier.. Heh... It is really sweet and nice of them.. Thanks Bros!

Yawns.. I'm soo tired and soo full.. heh
Time to rest... Thanks everyone who has put in effort for my birthday... I really appreaciate it..
Esp to Lingo who sent me a birthday card.. Heh.. Thanks bro! =D

Blessed Day

2007-04-03T16:45:00.000+08:00

=D

I feel blessed today!
Heh.

I woke up late this morning at 6am and I freaked out cuz I had to reach camp by 7.30am since today got LIVE run. I decided not to wake up my dad cuz I know that hes pretty tired and wanted to take a cab down to camp. However, when I was changing into my uniform, my mum woked up. She asked me how I was going down to camp and I told her that I was going to take a cab down to camp as I was kind of late. She then passed me 20 bucks for my cab fare. Then when I was wearing my boots, my dad woke up and offered to send me to camp! Heh. I feel very blessed to have my parents always supporting me.

My dad dropped me off at the ferry bus point and I waited for the ferry bus to arrive. Then, CPT Vnes drove past and offered me a ride up to camp. Heh. Thank God for the ride =D From my conversation with her, I found out that the LIVE run has actually been pushed back to 8am! Heh. Praise God for the change in timings! Now I do not need to wake up earlier on every Tues and Fri. Heh.

I feel so blessed today. I know that I am blessed =D

Here's a shoutout to those who sms me birthday wishes:
Thank You! =D Thanks for remembering my birthday... Heh...
But where is my birthday present?? Hah...

I can't wait for dinner with my friends tonight =D Its gonna be great!
Yay...
Thank GOd that my army mates didn't sabo me much today... Heh...

20 Yrs Old

2007-04-03T00:19:00.000+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME~!!!
Hah.. I finally turned 20 years old..

Another year older
A little bit stronger
A little bit wiser than
A year ago today

It has been a perfect day for me today (or rather yesterday since its already Tues) =D
I was actually supposed to wake up at 5am plus to go gym to workout but I was too tired and slept until I received a call from Lingo at 9am. Hah. He remembered my birthday and asked me out for breakfast. We took quite a while to decide the place for breakfast until Lingo decided to drive over to my place and we had breakfast at MacDonalds. Lingo treated me to breakfast and we wanted to drop by to visit Shi Qiang but he was already at CGH for his physiotherapy.

After breakfast, I went out in the afternoon with my parents. I brought them to Ms Clarity's Cafe as I wanted to introduce them to my usual hangout. Heh. I ordered escargots for my parents to try. Hah. It took quite a while before my mum opened her mouth to bite one of them. =p Anwyays, I tried Mud Ooze for dessert today. Its FREAKING NICE!!! sheesh.. MUST try it again next time. Its even better than fried mars bars.. HAh

After lunch, we went down to Raffles City to do some shopping. Heh. My mum she bought a cross from one of the jewellery shop for herself. The shop (Natural Source) that I wanted to go had closed down and replaced by The Spectacle Hut! Sheesh.. I was quite disappointed I must say. My mum then suggested to go to the infomation counter to find out another outlet for Natural Source. I looked down on the idea initally as I thought how would the information counter even know such information?! Hah. My dad went and asked and guess what.. they do know! They had a laptop with internet access there, so the lady helped me to check it out. Heh. I learnt a lesson today - Dun ever look down on ur parents. They are indeed amazing and they would do almost anything for their kids.

Another we found out that the other oulet was at Suntec so we made our way there and managed to buy my facial products from Natural Source which cost 100 plus bucks. After that, my parents also bought me a Addias jacket that costs 129 bucks. Heh.
My parents certainly spent quite a lot on me today... Heh...

Thank You Dad n Mum =D *love ya*

Time to sleep... yawns
Today will be a great day!

Dialect Church

2007-04-01T22:46:00.000+08:00

1 more day to my birthday...

Oh wells...

I had quite a busy day today. As I was doing duty on Sat, I only booked out this morning at 8am. I was supposed to hitch a ride from Edward as his sister was supposed to come and fetch him. However, his sister overslept and didn't manage to come down on time. So we decided to share a cab back to the East. Wells, the total cab fare cost around 12 bucks. Not that expensive as I thought.

It was already 830am by the time I reached home. I bathed and changed and managed to reach church by 10am. Thank GOd!! Service was great today! I learnt quite a lot from the sermon by Mark Conner. Indeed, he is a great teacher =D

After service, I went down to Simei to give tuition. Then I had to rush down to JW to help out at the Dialect Church. I was supposed to reached there at 3.30pm but by the time I rushed down after tuition, it was already 4.40pm. I got kind of "lost" in church as there were already many senior citizens around and I didn't know what to do and where to go. I called Jeremy (the guy whom I was supposed to report to) but he didn't picked up as he was busy. Thank God that he called back and I went down to Basement 4 to find him.

I helped out in ushering the elderly on wheelchairs to their positions in front of the stage. Service started at 5.15pm. Too bad I do not understand or speak any dialect so I couldn't really interact with them. Service started with praise and worship. It is really amazing to see how some of the elderly worship with all their hearts! It certainly puts some of the church's younger people in shame with the way we worship God.

Halfway through the service, I was told to help out a sister in looking care of 6 kids who came together with the elderly (their grandchildren I suppose). The kids were quite manageable as they were kept busy with online games. By the time everything ended, it was already 7pm.

Yawns... Actually I was supposed to meet some friends today but I guess helping out at Dialect Church is better =D

Nights... I pray that tomorrow will be a great day...

Prayer Meeting

2007-03-29T23:44:00.000+08:00

Tonight's prayer meeting went great! I'm certainly glad that I made the choice to go for it...

Everything's gonna be alright..

Yawns.. I'm soo tired.. Tomorrow's gonna be another long long day...
Morning got run.. Night got choir full dress rehearsal... think it will end around 12am?...

Hah.. Sat I still gotta go back to camp to do duty.. Yawns.. Oh wells...

Thank God that I didn't get into any trouble as one of the guys did.

Feeling kind of restless and lost... Something needs to be done...
But... Oh wells..

I can't wait for Prayer Meeting tonight... There will be a breakthrough...
It is coming.. It is here..

Yawns. I'm in camp now. I had to reach camp by 7.15am cuz of some run thingy. Oh wells.

Wells.. I wonder if anyone will remember my birthday?
Hmms.. Will You?

Basic Driving Theory

2007-03-19T23:47:00.000+08:00

Thank God that I passed my Basic Driving Theory test today! Hah.

It had been a long and tiring day of queuing up for me. After passing my theory test, I had to queue for one hour to register for my Final Theory test on 28th May. I wanted to register for my PDL but I had to wait for at least another 2 more hours of queuing up. So I went for lunch with my dad and went down to TTSH for my medical appointment for physiotherapy.

The therapist was quite friendly and helpful. She taught me what I should take note of going to gym and how to protect my joints to prevent inflammation of my tendons. She also taught me some stretching exercises for my muscules. After finishing my appointment, I had to go back to the driving centre to apply for my PDL. Thank God that I only had to wait for an hour! Heh.

Then I went down to gym at Capital Tower for Body Pump. By the time I reached home, it was already 8.40pm. Adriel dropped by for tuition which ended 11.30pm. Yawns. I'm not sure if I want to carry on tuition with him because he is quite hopeless (sad to say.. I really wonder how he passed his sec 2 maths). Sheesh. Perhaps I'm not patient enough with him or maybe his school teacher teaches him weird stuff. Hah. I don't know. But I do know that if this carries on, I'll most probably teach him till end of April or May. See how it goes..

Oh wells.. I had better sleep early! Still have to wake up at 5am tmr to reach camp by 7.30pm..
The worst thing is that I'm doing duty tmr ;( Sighs.. Oh wells..
ARMY LIFE...

You Alone 2

2007-03-16T10:38:00.000+08:00

I've come to Your throne here so cold and alone
I'm calling on Your name
I lift my hands to the sky open wide
And I cry, "Lord take me away!"

Take this heavy heart, this weary soul
And set them free
Remove my self til there's nothing left
But You alone in me

I'm letting go, of all that I know
I'm holding on to You alone
I lay it all down, down here at Your feet
I want You alone, You alone

If I go to the heavens above
Lord I know You are there
And if I make my bed in the depths
Lord I Know You are there

If I rise on wings of dawn
Or sail on the far side of the sea
Even still, Lord I know you will
You will always be there with me

I'm letting go, of all that I know
I'm holding on to You alone
I lay it all down, down here at Your feet
I want You alone, You alone (3X)
