With your girlfriend
She's upset
She's going off about
Something that you said
'Cause she doesn't get your humor
Like I do
I'm in the room
It's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music
She doesn't like
She'll never know your story
Like I do
But she wears short skirts
I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain
And I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day
When you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
Has been here the whole time
If you could see
That I'm the one
Who understands you
Been here all along
So why can't you
See you belong with me
You belong with me.
Walking the streets
With you and your worn out jeans
I can't help thinking
This is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench
Thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?
And you've got a smile
That could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in awhile
Since she brought you down
You say you're fine
I know you better than that
Hey what you doing
With a girl like that
She wears high heels
I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain
I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day
When you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
Has been here the whole time
If you could see
That I'm the one
Who understands you
Been here all along
So why can't you
See you belong with me
Standing by and
Waiting at your backdoor
All this time
How could you not know
Baby
You belong with me
You belong with me.
Oh, I remember
You driving to my house
In the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh
When you know you're about to cry
And I know your favorite songs
And you tell me about your dreams
Think I know where you belong
Think I know it's with me
Can't you see
That I'm the one
Who understands
Been here all along
So why can't you see?
You belong with me.
Have you ever thought
Just maybe
You belong with me?
:: You Belong With Me :: Taylor Swift ::
This song has a really cute MV!! Go catch it!! Another song on my playlist recently! (: Sometimes its really quite funny how you go one round and realise that the person that you are looking for was there all along! (remind me of sth that we were telling someone last week- thing is I cant remember who and what but it was about going round that sort of thing..hahaha..STM is really striking me big time!)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARLING!!!!!
Celebrated Darling's birthday and finally a meet-up with the girls, life after you start work makes it really hard to arrange for a meet-up and hence you need to put in more effort and more time! Joanne was caught up with things to do and couldnt join us. Hongting and Gerald was in Home Team, and Tong Jee studying for exams..get my point? (:
Nevertheless, was really glad that got to meet-up and catch up with the girls!! (: hope that we dont have to wait too long for the next get together!

Passion
(from the Latin verb patior, meaning to suffer or to endure, also related to compatible)
is an emotion applied to a very strong feeling about a person or thing.
Passion is an intense emotion compelling feeling, enthusiasm, or desire for something.
The term is also often applied to a lively or eager interest in or admiration for a proposal, cause, or activity or love.
What are the things that you are passionate for? What is the cause that you are campaigning? What is the vision that you are working towards?
When we were all in school, these questions seems pretty easy to answer, it is about being a student with good grades and good character and winning a few prizes along the way would definitely be a plus point. But after you enter the workforce, does that passion still apply? What are the things that you are working for? Money? Fame? Position? But the thing is all these things, they will fade away and sooner or later you come to a point when you begin to realise that the amount of fame, the amount of money and the level of your position is no longer able to please you or make you happy, there is thing longing for something more.
The past few days, I had the opportunity to meet some passionate people who are driven by a vision and something that they believe in.
1. Glenn Lim http://www.glennlim.net/
You can read more about him from his website. He is so passionate about what he is doing that he centered his life around it. He is living for a cause.
2. CDL HOD of Fuchun Secondary School
Went with Cindy for an appointment at Fuchun Secondary School and this is yet another inspiring person whom we have met over the past few days. He enjoys teaching and not only that, you can tell that he is interested and passionate about what he is doing. He believes in the holistic development of his students and he fights for every chance that they have to do better than they already are.
And meeting a whole lot of others during the GSIF, the mentoring seminar by NYC and the different life stories that I have heard recently. It really makes me wonder what are the things that I would consider my Passion, my Vision and my Cause?
The thing is, you can have a lot of things, but not feel happy because there is sth more to true happiness. And I believe that it comes when it can be shared with other people.
You know when you are a youth, you think about those lofty dreams that you have and you dismiss them, thinking that they are not possible but here are people making their dreams come to pass. What is your dream? What do you really want to do? Make things happen, change is possible, only if you dare to believe.
Having said that, the journey of a dream is never easy, it is always one that is filled with much obstacles that you have to overcome and many will discourage you and try to talk you out of doing what you are doing. The thing then is that, this has got to be something that you DECIDE that you will be doing for the rest of your life.
Daddy made a comment that day that made me ponder- he said that I am not going to stay in this job forever right? In my mind, I was thinking why not? But more than that, I did ask myself is this something that I want to do for the rest of my life? My answer to that is YES BUT even more so than this is that I want to do MUCH MORE. I dont know how and I dont know when but I know that there is this part of me that tells me and yearns for much more, it reminded of the dream and the things that I want to achieve.
The Bible says that God gives seed to the sower, we think about this in the area of our finances but what about our dreams? If you dont dare to dream, you have no passion for your dream, you do not want to dream, why does God give you more dreams? Are you willing to be a dreamer today? Daring to dream is only the first step to doing something great but at least it is the first step, if you dont even have a dream, then there is no direction to go.
Couple it with Casey Treat's message, you need to build up your spiritual Core, if not you will give up somewhere along the road when it gets tough. And these are things that you will realise that you cannot do on your own strength and own efforts, rather, you need to depend on the Lord to see them come to pass. Noah had a dream, Joseph had a dream, Daniel had a dream, you realise that all these great people in the Bible, they went through the stage of dreaming. Then come the delay, the mocking, the waiting but the thing is delay is not denial but it is the time when God is giving you to build yourself up, to be passionate in the mandane and the little things in life before He entrust you with more!
But first it start with that DREAM.
Have you dreamed today?
