Lord of all the Earth
How You care for me
You have made me
You will save
And carry me always

You are faithful
You are faithful
You are faithful
Your joy is my strength

Lord You are my guide
I rely on You
I put my hope in things not seen
Your promises all true

Always You're with me
Your hand will lead me
My trust is in Your name

:: You are Faithful :: Hillsong ::

This song reminded me of my JC days somehow, there is this feeling that brings me back to the JC days once again. Reminded me of the people and scenes from then- which is quite long ago already- time really flies huh? JC days were some of the worse days that i do not really want to remember yet there is something about those 2 years of my life that set it apart from the rest of my life. the things that you go through and the people whom you met there, the experiences.

Mid-term break is one of my worse weeks- why? i am slacking too much- like now!! i am supposed to be doing my literature review for the project meeting tml but i just dont feel like doing it. so smart huh? will endure the torture in the morning when i have to wake up to do it.

the latest fascination of 老婆:
酒店风云

i havent been home much to watch it but i receive constant updates about the show!! heheh..One of the main highlight of the show is JOE MA!! hahaha..even my dad knows that i like him and think that he is handsome- too bad if you dont think so i dont need to know that!!

here is a photo of him in the show!! super 帅 right!!!


here is another one:


i first like him cos of the show <<千里姻緣兜錯圈>> where he acted as this lunatic- yes mad guy- siao eh!! lols..anyway, i think he acted really well in that show- i mean not everyone can act well as a mad guy and still garner and gain fans!! lols..
he has acted in over 60 dramas- can you believe that? and other movies, commercials and tons of fashion shows- i think he is a natural 衣架子 lorh!! and i just found out, he published a cookbook- <<鐘意廚房>> cool huh??

maybe someone can get for me for my birthday!! lols..not sure if singapore have it not though.

the conclusion that my dad arrived at was that- go and find someone who look like him and marry him! lols. he think that easy to find arh?? i also want! hahah..i told yang that i do think that my eye candy look a teeny weeny bit like him! hahaha..oh wells..see what the mid-term break is doing to my brain! sigh..and for people like max who is trying to "sell" me away- you gotta first find someone who look as good as Joe Ma!! lols..

that is totally random!! and i think that i sounded like a 花痴 larh!! so i am going to stop it NOW!! this todal randonness!! gosh!

went to watch L changed the world on monday before heading over to Wei's place for a 03A21 gathering.




i like Kenichi Matsuyama in the show- i think that he acted well in the show!! alright, i am someone who will go and watch the show cos i like the actor!! lols. so i think that there is still hope for the movie industry cos of people like me! lols..but i really think that he acted well and though this is a spin-off, there were more emotional scenes for Kenichi Matsuyama and i think that he did them well! (:

one thing that [L]awliet said in the show:

You alone cannot change the world.

we believe that one man can make a difference but it takes unity and it takes an army to change the world. i saw that during the prayer meetings the past week- God used 20 people to turn the world upside down in the past 20 years- do you want to be part of the next 20 years? i think that we can change the world! (:

then there was a mini saints bballers gathering today at marina square- seems like this is a good week for gathering huh? but there were some who cant make it- so we were incomplete once again but this is a good start larh..i must attend more gatherings but the fact is if i can make it i will surely be there- just that most of the timings are not good larh! haix..

F.I.R is coming this weekend- actually only F & R is coming but i am so excited!! i think that we are going to have an awesome time!! (:

enough of my randomness!!

GOD OF MY YOUTH I REMEMBER
YOUR CALL ON MY LIFE TOOK ME O'ER
YOUR LOVE HAS SEEN ME THROUGH ALL MY DAYS
I STAND HERE BY YOUR GRACE

ON THIS ALTAR I'VE WRITTEN MY LIFE
TELLS OF THE STORY I HAVE WITH YOU MY LORD
I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW

GOD OF MY FOREVER
AND FOREVER I'M WITH YOU
MY LIFE IS SAVED WITH A PRICE
YOUR SACRIFICE REDEEMED MY SOUL
GOD OF MY FOREVER
AND FOREVER I WILL SING
MY GREATEST HONOR WILL ALWAYS BE
TO SERVE MY LORD AND KING

GOD OF MY ALL I'VE SURRENDERED
MY HEART FINDS ITS REST IN YOUR WORD
PRAISES WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO SHOW
HOW MY LOVE FOR YOU HAS GROWN

NOTHING MATTERS WHEN YOU'RE HERE WITH ME
IN THE END JUST TO HEAR YOU SAY "WELL DONE"
BOWING BEFORE YOUR THRONE

:: GOD OF MY FOREVER :: City Harvest ::

i am just reminded of this song again and again.

"God of my youth i remember- your call on my life took me over. Your love has seen me through all my days, i stand here by your grace."

the first time i sang this song, i cried. it really brought back memories of hard tough it was in the past when i want to go to church and daddy doesnt allow. About how hard things was in the family and situations that happened but they are all in the past now- not because i am someone great but because Your grace was enough and sufficient to see me through and now i am able to stand here- where i am today, doing all that i am doing.

Indeed like what Denise reminded me of, something that we often forget.

Zech 4:6-7

So he answered and said to me:

"This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel:

'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,'
Says the LORD of hosts.
'Who are you, O great mountain?
Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain!

And he shall bring forth the capstone
With shouts of "Grace, grace to it!"'"

Reminded that this was what Rev. Joshua Hong taught us when he came last year. what are the mountains that are being placed before you? God will say to you that, it is not by your own strength, your own might but it is by the power of the Holy Spirit. and whatever mountain that is standing in the way of us and the destination that we are heading to- shall become like a plain. It is back to the same thing- do you see a glass that is half empty or is it a glass that is half full? is it a picture of a sunrise (the dawn of a new day) or is it a sunset (the end of a day)? it is up to you to decide. Every challenge can be a stepping stone or a tombstone. you decide. you are the one who decides your destiny. But once you made that decision, stick to it. and see it come to pass.

Each of us only have 24hours a day, no matter whether you are Bill Gates, you are Brad Pitt or are you just an ordinary person- God is very fair in this aspect and it is up to you how you make of the time that you have. I used to think that i am a little sadist- i like to pack things back to back and try to do as much things as possible in a day. i realised that is no longer truth, now all that i want to do is to do what i am supposed to do, yet at the same time, i want time off to spend with people i love and the people who matters to me. I am and will never be too busy for people who matters to me- no matter what i always say and complain about there is a mountain of readings to be done- that is the case for everyone, for me: the readings can wait but 有些人一旦错过了就不再从来!! dont want to miss out on the beautiful sunsets and the wonderful people around me until it is too late. Indeed like what Pastor Tan say- a man who is at his deathbed will never wish to spend more time working but he would wish that he could spend more time with his family, with the people who matters to him. I want to spend my time with my friends, my members, and my family. love lots!

We rode into town the other day, just me and my Daddy.
He said I'd finally reached that age,
and I could ride next to him on a horse
that of course was not quite as wide
We heard a crowd of people shouting
and so we stopped to find out why
There was that man that my dad said he loved,
but today there was fear in his eyes

So I said Daddy why are they screaming?
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why is he dressed in that bright purple robe?
I bet that crown hurts him more than he shows
Daddy please can't you do something?
He looks as if he's going to cry
You said he is stronger than all of those guys
Daddy please tell me why,
why does everyone want him to die?

Later that day the sky grew cloudy
and daddy said I should go inside
Somehow he knew things would get stormy,
boy was he right
But I could not keep from wondering
if there was something that he had to hide
So after he left I had to find out,
I was not afraid of getting lost
So I followed the crowds to a hill
where I knew men had been killed
And I heard a voice come from a cross:

And it said : Father why are they screaming.
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why are they casting their lots for my clothes??
I bet that crown hurts him more than he shows
Father, please can't you do something?
I know that you must hear my cry
I thought I could handle a cross of this size
Father remind me why,
why does everyone want me to die.
When will I understand why?

My precious Son, I hear them screaming.
I'm watching the face of the enemy beaming
but soon I will clothe you in robes of my own.
Jesus this hurts me more than you know
But this dark hour I must do nothing.
I've heard your unbearable cry
the power in your blood destroys all the lies,
soon you'll see past their unmerciful eyes.
Look there below see the child trembling by her father's side.
Now I can tell you why,
SHE is why you must die.

:: Why :: Nicole Nordeman ::

I stayed at home the whole day- doing nothing. But it was good just being able to spend some time alone. Alone and not feeling lonely- was just letting the music play in the background while i do nothing and there this song was playing. it never fails to tell of the love that God has for us. Reminds me yet again- we are the reason why He has to die.

let's see, we are one third into the school term and the horrible school work is really piling up and killing me. i am having a i-dont-want-to-open-my-mailbox illness, that must be rather bad right? i guess that only thing that could be done is to tackle the problems one at a time. and i am starting to think that juggling between work, school, CG, and trying to have a life is quite hard! think i really really need a spiritual recharge BADLY- thank God for Pastor Tan this weekend and thank God that Pastor Ulf is coming this week and also thank God for overnight prayer meeting and the series of prayer meetings this week- when you dont know how and what to do- the next best thing is to pray!! At the very least, it gets the load off from your shoulders into God's hand. (:
I LOVE PASTOR TAN!!
his messages are just mind-blowing!! woah..and there- he did it again!! (: he blew my mind away again!!

从前对着收音机
学唱旧的歌
我问妈妈为什么
伤心像快乐
妈妈笑着
说她也不懂得
我想出去走一走
妈妈点点头

天冷你就回来
别在风中徘徊
妈妈眼里有明白
还有一丝无奈
天冷我想回家
童年已经不再
昨天的雨点洒下来
那滋味叫做爱

渐渐对着收音机
学唱新的歌
我问朋友为什么
做梦也快乐
朋友笑说
他从不相信梦
我想出去走一走
朋友点点头

天冷你就回来
别在风中徘徊
朋友的眼里有明白
还有一份期待
天冷我想回家
年少已经不再
今天的雨点洒下来
那滋味就是爱

现在对着收音机
听自己唱的歌
我的他问为什么
幸福不快乐
我微笑着
说我也不懂得
他想出去走一走
我对他点点头

天冷你就回来
别在风中徘徊
我猜我眼里有明白
还有一丝无奈
天冷他没回家
我仍然在等待
明天的雨点洒下来
那滋味就是爱

:: 天冷就回来 :: 陈洁仪 ::

Alot of things that has to be done and alot of things that are on my mind. the chinese new year holiday had served its purpose for me to avoid thinking about the things that i have to face. yet, as much as i want to slack my life away, i know that life is too precious to be wasted on my slacking.

doing up my survey and readings for the class tomorrow and one other reason is that i can get to sleep till morning recently and that is very bad for me in the day cos not enough energy but will make do with that!

***
what are things that make you happy? i think sometimes we think very hard to answer such a simple question. when is the last time that you are truly happy and you smile from the bottom of your heart? maybe it is when a friend whom you have not spoken to for a long time drop you an sms- that makes me happy. mayb it is when you see how your friend is happy receiving the gifts that you gave her- that makes me happy too. actually, its all very simple isnt it? but we like to complicate the whole thing and the whole issue.

i feel so pressurised with all the things that are crushing me. i dont like receiving smses after smses and i dont like to see my mailbox flooded with emails about things that needs to be done. i thought that i am a workaholic, now i have second thoughts about that. maybe i just need to sort out the thoughts that are running through my mind. maybe its time for a swim and a game of basketball. or maybe i just need someone who truly understand to listen to what i have got to say about everything.

ANGEL



Can you hear when i'm singing
This song out again.
Keep running and take a chance.
Don't be afraid cause I'll be here.

Down the streets of moving back
there's no stopping.
Revolving miseries are not for keeping.
So why don't you let it go and
smile your way through all your problems
When you think it's pressing

When you're feeling down
You know who to call
You know who to turn to.
After all these things I'm asking

Can you hear when i'm singing
This song out again.
Keep running and take a chance.
Don't be afraid cause i'll be here.

Memories are flying by
you take or leave it.
Don't think that people
Could make you do
What you didn't want.
You know you're something.
So Breathe in That air
and chase down all your dreams
And make things happen
You know you want it

Don't even for a minute doubt yourself
And lose your focus
Cause I'll be at the sidelines singing

Can you hear when I'm singing
This song out again.
Keep running and take a chance.
Don't be afraid cause I'll be here.

I'll be your angel X2
To be there for you
When all your worlds are blue
(I'll be your angel)

:: Angel :: Max Low ::

caught Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street..well and it was just a little gross but you know that it was fake- thank God for that if not i would be still haunted by images of people's throat being slashed!! gross..but i dont think that it warner the M18 ratings- that was too strict!! cos apart from the blood splutting out..there is not too much violence in that film..oh of cos and the human meat pie part which was more of disgusting than anything else..the sad part was that at the end..ok..i am not going to spoil it for those who are going to watch the show..hahhaha..let's just say that there was a twist! (:

its was OK larh..but the singing i must say is GOOD..considering the actors did their own singing..the movie was adpated from Broadway (meaning lots of singing!) and for that i think that they did WELL!!! (:

there are many familiar faces in this show that you saw in Harry Potter!! hahhaa..
first up is Helena Bonham Carter who co-stars as Mrs. Lovett, Todd's partner-in-crime who bakes the corpses of victims into pies. yucks..disgusting right?? she's the wife of the director of sweeney todd but she proved to be worthy of the role.. anyway so who does she plays in Harry Potter..she first appeared in The Order of the Phoenix as Bellatrix Lestrange (née Black, the first female Death Eater..

here is a pic to jot some memories:


then there was Alan Rickman who played the wicked Judge Turpin, who locked away Todd and raped his wife. He adopted Todd's daughter, Johanna, as his "ward", on whom he spies voyeuristically through a hole in her wall. and he too acted in Harry Potter and i am sure everyone know his character- Severus Snape who is the Portion teacher or rather that teacher who always give Harry a hard time!! a pic is better right?? (:

here goes:


then there was the guy who acted in Enchanted- that evil looking short and not very good looking guy who was in love with the evil queen? and his role not that good either..hahah..evil roles..

but i must say i am most impressed by Edward Sanders who played Tobias..his singing was fantastic!! considering that he is only 15!! great job man!!

some other must watch this chinese new year are:

CJ7


AH LONG PTE LTD


KUNG FU DUNK


Think it is going to be a movie filled new year..

i already planned out my new year plans..sleep and watch movies..so basically gonna stay home and rot and do my catching up on my shows and my readings!! how exciting but got ang bao larh!! so not too bad and i really really need to catch up on my sleep!! till then..

i have an important mission that i have been procrastinating on that i have to embarked on and finish within 2 days..hehehe..
