Keep singing - MercyMe
Another rainy day
I can't recall having sunshine on my face
All I feel is pain
All I wanna do is walk out of this place
But when I am stuck and I can't move
When I don't know what I should do
When I wonder if I'll ever make it through

I gotta keep singing
I gotta keep praising Your name
Your the one that's keeping my heart beating
I gotta keep singing
I gotta keep praising Your name
That's the only way that I'll find healing

Can I climb up in Your lap
I don't wanna leave
Jesus sing over me
I gotta keep singing

Can I climb up in Your lap
I don't wanna leave
Jesus sing over me
Oh You're everything I need
And I gotta keep singing

I like this song. The tune's a low, mellow solemn sort of tune. It reflects serious hope in Christ, a hope not like those we have at times of desperation - those fleeting hopes that brought along joy as well yet somehow they seem to go as fast as they come. It's a different kind of hope reflected here in this song. The climax of the song brings one to the peak of agonizing misery together with the lyrics. But I love the sentence "I gotta keep singing, I gotta keep praising Your name" best. It gives me a sense of comfort, of reassurance. Praising God's name in itself brings me a peace almost nothing else can bring, hope, joy, comfort, strength, the feeling of a child who's able to depend fully in the arms of her Father because she knows He'll protect her from every little harm in life. Oh how I love that feeling. The comfort I can draw from God no matter what happens never fails to make my day and give me strength to push forword. Singing in itself reminds me joy and hope, something light hearted and lovely, magical in the sense that music tunes and lyrics can do wonders to a sorrowful heart. Yeap but ultimately it is our Heavenly Father who takes away all sorrows and gives us the joy and peace we desired so much after. (:

Close to you - The Carpenters
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Just like me (Just like me)
They long to be
Close to you.

Tammie's and my song :DDD Heh we're like addicted to singing to this song, I don't have the carpenters' version, mine's sang by this Diana person but still! She has a lovely voice :DDD Love the song :DDD

Don't break my heart, Mickey

An upbeat song with an absolutely catchy tune :D Makes my day since it's so cheerful and all, heh I feel like dancing or just jumping around when I hear this song! :D

Sometimes, just sometimes. I really wish I can delve right into the worlds of your thoughts and feelings, where transparency is all that I see.I don't know if that'll help, Maybe it will, but maybe it won't.

I just realise how much I miss Kaiqi. Haven't spoken to her in ages. Ziying in a way as well. All those crapping I used to have with them, Sophie too. We're as close as strangers walking by each other on a boardway now. ):

Bubbly - Colbie Caillat
Will you count me in?

I've been awake for a while now.
You've got me feeling like a child now.
'Cause every time I see your bubbly face,
I get the tingles in a silly place.

It starts in my toes,
And I crinkle my nose.
Wherever it goes I'll always know,
That you make me smile.
Please stay for a while now.
Just take your time,
Wherever you go.

The rain is falling on my window pane,
But we are hiding in a safer place.
Under covers staying safe and warm.
You give me feelings that I adore.

They start in my toes,
Makes me crinkle my nose.
Wherever it goes I'll always know,
That you make me smile.
Please stay for a while now.
Just take your time,
Wherever you go.
What am I gonna say...
When you make me feel this way...
I just... mmm
They start in my toes,
Makes me crinkle my nose.
Wherever it goes I always know,
That you make me smile.
Please stay for a while now,
Just take your time.
Wherever you go...

Da-Da-Dum-da-da-da-da-da.

I've been asleep for a while now.
You tucked me in just like a child now.
'Cause every time you hold me in your arms,
I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth.

It starts in my soul,
And I lose all control.
When you kiss my nose,
The feeling shows.
'Cause you make me smile.
Baby just take your time now,
Holding me tight.

Wherever, wherever, wherever you go.
Wherever, wherever, wherever you go.
Wherever you go,
I always know,
'Cause you make me smile even just for a while.


Cute little song (:

Was searching for some stuff just now on the internet and I came across a couple of gay christian blogs and websites by people who claim to be christians yet support gay marriages. I was pretty appalled at the totally illogical and twisted reasonings put forth by christians supportive of gay marriages.

Anyway, as Edmund helped me to convert the songs format from the Love Above All musical, I've gotten back to listening to them. And I've missed the songs so much! I love the lyrics, every bit filled with meaning. I was reminded of the love Jim and Elizabeth Eillot had, definitely above their selves and even each other - it was the love from God. I was so blessed by the musical, I hope every Christian will have the opportunity to come to know of their story and see God's love, and follow in their courageous footsteps. I too, need to have the courage and love I respect them for having. I'm gonna suggest to Ian to borrow the DVD from Daphne and show it for Movie Night. And I'll be there, to watch it all over again (:

My favourite songs from that musical are: He is no fool, Betty's Song, Goodnight tonight and O who are you. I think Betty's Song is a song meant for young Christian girls blossoming into beautiful young woman seeking after God's heart. It was a song of reflection and hope, tugging at my heart's strings, beautifully intertwined and composed. Goodnight Tonight is lovely. I remember tearing as I watched the little Valerie on stage pining for her father who she has been told is far far away. My heart just ached for her as I saw her recalling the joy she once had with the times she spent with Jim. (: Sadly I can't seem to find the lyrics ): So yeah. Lazy to type them out lah, but ask me for the songs if you want (:

Tagboard's almost dead, save for Yvonne's bai ka tag. Haha, Samantha just sprained her ankle. Sisters indeed. (:

James is the epitome of metrosexuals.

Honestly, I've never fully grasp the extent of feminity that metrosexuals had till I went shopping with James yesterday. After church, Meishan and I went to Lido to watch Indiana Jones. I'll be nice about the movie (: Let's just say, Indiana Jones isn't exactly my cup of tea (: So anyway, after the movie we headed down to Vivo to meet Malcolm, Jessie, James, Bernice and Xiuzhen for dinner and just walking around etc. Meishan and I were so caught up in talking that we didn't realise we had boarded the wrong bus :/ After sometime we realised the bus didn't seem to be going in the right direction. Haha well, eventually we stopped at Farrer Park MRT, thanks to the help of a lady, and took the MRT down to Harbourfront. Haha a 15 minutes bus journey ended up into an hour long bus+train ride. Anyway Meishan and I went to eat this curry rice thingy at Food Republic. After all that popcorn in Ironman, I was super full by the time I was halfway through my plate. And so, it went unfinished. Qiao Yi would have killed me for that! Haha I miss her so much! ): Anyway, back on topic, before I went to dinner, James said he wanted to go to Zara. Honestly, I got a shock. I've never heard those words from a guy's mouth before! But nonetheless, I should have taken into consideration that James' a metrosexual so it doesn't really count. But then I was expressing my shock and saying that I would be even more taken aback if those words were to come out of Jiahao's mouth and Bernice told me that Jiahao really said that before!!! I just couldn't associate Jiahao with Zara... They're like... 2 different worlds apart. :// Haha anyway, Malcolm and Jessie disappeared for a while and came back to look for us at Food Republic. Jessie bought a nice top! And she said that Zara's new batch of clothes would be what I like! Well, naturally after that sentence I couldn't possibly not head down to Zara! It caused me a great deal of heartache ): There were a couple of clothes that I really liked, but they were all too ex. Oh wells ): Well after that, Meishan, Xiuzhen and I went to Domanchi and looked for James and Bernice. James was obviously doing his shopping there. It was hilarious, Meishan,Bernice and I had a jolly good time laughing and commenting on the types of shirts he tried on. Haha it was really an eye-opener for Meishan and I as we watched James try on piece after piece, and walked round after round around the shop. Haha and we gave his shirts names - Bumblebee (which he bought) and Woodpecker (which he didn't buy)! Oh! ): And I sprained my ankle again in the shop as I was trying to point to a nice shirt I saw. ): Haha okay lah, it's recovering I think. Can't wait to get back to fencing :D

Sat was vibe :DDD It was bbq, and the food was super good, especially the chicken wings after we closed!!! :DDD Haha but the guys were quite scary, devouring piece after piece. Haha well we all took some home in the end as there were too many and I took some of the beehoon too. Anyway thank God so much for the great turnout for vibe, so many newcomers! :D Although none of my friends came in the end ): it's okay! :D Heh.

Had my first english test on Friday. Hope that it went well. :/ Well anyway, after the test, Miss Chong flashed ten names and asked these ten girls to meet her. I was quite shocked that my name was flashed and so was Kaiting's and Bernette's. Kaiting and I were trying to recall what bad things we did. :// Haha after a couple of torturous moments, Miss Chong told us that we were the top ten in the level, based on the lowest O-Level points to get in. I was honoured, for a little while only though. Because she then proceeded to tell us that the teachers etc are all gonna track out academic and CCA records and help us get 4 for gpa! I was like?! Huh... I don't exactly want my records to be tracked or kept a special eye on :// But anyway, thank God, I suppose it might just scare me into not being slack anymore ://

E-learning week, no school today! :D And tbg got some graduation ceremony tomorrow :D So no school tomorrow as well! :D

Something happened earlier this month that made me stopped and ponder in my tracks. It wasn't, in worldly sense, something pleasant or seem to be worth rejoicing over. But through that period of fear, uncertainty and anxiety, He taught me something so important.

I suppose, in a way, I've always prided myself upon being the most mature among my sisters and I. My mum often told me so, comparing me with my sisters, and my grades often led relatives and friends to think that I'm a very obedient and mature girl who places great importance on her studies. I've always thought myself to be a strong and independent girl, being the oldest in the family. It was always my family members telling me their problems, asking me what they should do, almost never the other way round. But that incident taught me what being weak was like, and how being weak was never like what I had imagined. I always thought that being weak was a sign of defeat, a feeling of despair and loss of hope all rolled into one. But it isn't. Being weak isn't like that.

Being weak is the feeling of helplessness, uncertainty and the humility to just come to God and admit that there's really nothing I can do, and that I can only leave it all in His hands. And when the incident happened, I really felt as though there's not even an ounce of strength left in me to be the pillar of supposrt to anyone. I can't draw strength from anywhere or anyone else, it just doesn't help. I tried and I tried, and all that gave me was false hopes over and over again, leaving me to plunge further into despair if I haven't hit rock bottom. Being weak left me confused and afraid, but it taught me the dependency I needed to have on God. For apart from Him, I am nothing. I used to think that I understood what being nothing means. But no, God showed me a whole new perspective of what being nothing is. It is even beyond feeling weak. It is feeling as though you have lost everything, a feeling of being so worn out by the daily affairs of life that you tried to have control over. During the incident, I was feeling... Pretty torn apart. I was at a loss, and all I could do was pull my bolster close to me, hugged it with all my might and grit my teeth as tears flowed down my face. I could only plead God, confess to God, the weakling I actually am.

But in that moment of laying it all at His throne, He gave me hope. He gave me peace. I felt His soothing voice reminding me that whatever it is, He is still in control. Always in control. And I was reminded of this song, Love them like Jesus. I knew as I thought about the lyrics, His gentle hand was there, wiping away each tear that was on my face. And He reminded me of my favourite song, I will never leave you. I mustered what little strength I could as I whispered and sang the song, feeling Him comforting my little hurting heart.

I may never understand why all these incidents even happen, but I've come to realise that I just need to know that He's always there for me and that's enough to keep me trusting in Him.

The love of her life is drifting away
They're losing the fight for another day
The life that she's known is falling apart
A fatherless home, a child's broken heart

You're holding her hand, you're straining for words
You trying to make - sense of it all
She's desperate for hope, darkness clouding her view
She's looking to you

Just love her like Jesus, carry her to Him
His yoke is easy, His burden is light
You don't need the answers to all of life's questions
Just know that He loves her and stay by her side
Love her like Jesus
Love her like Jesus

The gifts lie in wait, in a room painted blue
Little blessing from Heaven would be there soon
Hope fades in the night, blue skies turn to gray
As the little one slips away

You're holding her hand, you're straining for words
You're trying to make sense of it all
They're desperate for hope, darkness clouding their view
They're looking to you

Just love them like Jesus, carry them to Him
His yoke is easy, His burden is light
You don't need the answers to all of life's questions
Just know that He loves them and stay by their side
Love them like Jesus

Lord of all creation holds our lives in His hands
The God of all the nations holds our lives in His hands
The Rock of our salvation holds our lives in His hands
He cares for them just as He cares for you

So love them like Jesus, love them like Jesus
You don't need the answers to all of life's questions
Just know that He loves them and stay by their side
Love them like Jesus
Love them like Jesus


I couldn't help tearing as the song played over and over again in my iTouch. It's the first time I fully comprehended this song and its precious lyrics.

In my weaknesses, is His strength made perfect.

It's been sooooooooooooooooo long since I last updated. Haha not exactly but I've got used to blogging every now and then. School's been a hectic craze, what with my new cca and spanish lessons and (finally), more projects coming up.

I've joined fencing for my cca! :DDD I'm super enthu for fencing now, don't know why though, hahaha! Last last tuesday was my first training and I remembered that I did PT for the first time in my life. I couldn't feel my legs halfway through PT. We did so many leg strengthening excerises I wondered if I even still had legs to strengthen. But yeah well, I SURVIVED IT :D Last Thurs was fun, worked on my footwork :D and I learnt lunges :D Last Sat I met the foil coach, he's got a super funny hairstyle. Haha but training was interesting as I got to understand how fencing competitions worked and we practiced our speed and footwork :D We fenced one another, each person supposed to fence 3 others. 2 of my opponents don't want to fence at all! ): And I ended up losing to them because I don't even know if I should attack :// And my last opponent was this super tall, gigantic towering indian guy who's not bad at fencing but he has a height advantage over me ): Although I had the advantage of being a girl (by default I get 2 points :D) Last Tuesday's training was quite terrible for me though ): I don't know why, but my stomach muscles were excruciating. As a result of all the PT (there was a lot more running as compared to the 1st PT! ): ) I puked ): TWICE. Oh wells, maybe I didn't eat well? :// I don't know. Anyway, there's training tonight again and I'm looking forward to it :D And I'm thinking of either foil or sabre, but I think I might just go for sabre. But trainings are really long and tiring, it's from 6 to 9 and it may just drag to 9.30. And, after that depending if the other year 1s want to join the seniors for dinner then I may or may not. AND, if I really do, I'll end up reaching home at 11 plus and sleeping at 1 or 2 am ): Oh wells but it's been fun :D

Other than fencing, life's also been enjoyable with spanish lessons! :D Heh, it's such an interesting language! :D But it's 6 to 8 every wed. And so I reach homw really late every Tues to Fri. It's exhausting yet fulfiling to have a life full of bustling activities of your interests. I really really really thank God so much that I didn't go JC, don't think I will be so happy or feel so satisfied with life. :D Poly life's giving me so much freedom to learn whatever I want to, as long as I can cope with the workload (which happens to be very light, FOR NOW). :D

Finally got my first project, pray that I won't be in slacker mood anymore as I don't foresee much slacking in the near future. 0: Haha.

Oh yeah and prayyyyyyyyyyy for my old tablet (laptop). My new tablet, unfortunately, doesn't have Publisher. And, I still need to transfer files from old to new, so! Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee blue screen, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee go away! ):

Anyway I was being really silly just now. I was planning to attach the powerpoint slides and send to melvin, and I ended up sending 2 emails before I really remembered the attach the powerpoints. So I sent him 3 emails in total -.- Speaking of powerpoints, I really really really need someone to help me with compling the slides every week. I used to be able to finish the main outline of the slides by Wed, but now... ): I only managed to find time to do during IT lessons on Thursday and then the details on Friday afternoon itself. ): And I think, I may need the Friday afternoons in time to come to study for upcoming tests or for projects meeting. ):

Oh wells. Tomorrow's Friday Youth :D Can't wait. :D

In ITA lesson now ): it's extremely boring. It's the only lesson I've ever felt the slightest twinge of falling asleep so far, make that already have fallen asleep for the previous two lessons. I got my new notebooks and schoolbag for school already! :D Heh I'm very happy now :D

Something happened on Sat night ): Thus on Sunday I didn't go to church. But I met up with Catherine after church ended. We went to Far East Plaza initially to get my new schoolbag but I couldn't find a suitable one. Then we went to Bugis Street. We had an interesting encounter as we were walking to Bugis. This woman in her 40s came up to us and asked us if we could buy her a bowl of noodles and a drink as she had no money for lunch. She said that she has been unemployed for a very long time already. We agreed and asked her to show us the way to the stall. To my astonishment, she brought us to the shopping mall in Bugis, then to the Food Junction. Cat and I were just shocked. Okay... So we thought we'll just buy her the Ban Mian she wanted and a drink. After buying the drink, she tried to ask us for a bowl of Qing Teng! :/ I was just stunned. And her noodles hadn't even arrived at that point of time. Righttt. So anyway I told her that we'll get it for her later if she was still hungry after the noodles. I guess she kind of got the hint that we weren't exactly interested to buy the Qing Teng for her. I thought that she was asking for quite a bit... :/ Anyway so Cat and I sat down with her and tried to talk to her and find out more about her. Apparently she used to be an admin office lady and then she was retrenched. And when I asked her what kind of job she was looking for I was shocked that she said she was looking for an office job?! By the looks of it, if she doesn't dress properly and have a presentable image, I highly doubt she'll be able to get an office job. And out of pure concern, I asked her if she gets to eat everyday. Her answer was, "Of course lah! Human beings sure must eat one what, you never eat meh?" Okayyy fineee. Then I asked her if she gets enough to eat. Her answer? "You eat how much I eat how much lah! What how many meals a day, common sense lah!" I was just taken aback. Her rude attitude shocked me and I was at a loss for words for a moment. After a few more questions to know more about her, I feel that she wasn't sincere in looking for a job, rather, she was depending on asking people to buy her meals for a living. Well. Cat tried to share the Gospel to her but she was quite closed and refused to reveal much about her past. She seemed quite private, and simply kept refusing to answer. Well, neither Cat nor I knew what to make of this interesting encounter. I just pray that God would open her eyes and work evidently in her life.

Okay. Guess I'll update more next time. Kind of hungry ):

Oh yeah, and Jessie, GET WELL SOON! :D

:D Today's been a great day! Haha, I slacked around a lot today.

Basically I went for prayer meeting this morning, then I went with James, Sicheng and Daniel to Tengah church for a meeting on the combined outing :D Tengah church is located in a pretty ulu place... But it's really peaceful and scenic (: Although there were quite a number of flies or mosquitoes, don't know which. The meeting went pretty well, decided on the main outline. Will most probably have to check out the location before making anymore decisions. Was supposed to go Vivo with my mum and sisters bacause Mummy wanted to buy some hotwater flask. But then... She found one at home - in the storeroom! Haha, so we didn't go in the end and I stayed home with Mummy and watched drama shows and we ordered pizza for dinner because we were both too lazy to go anywhere. :D Love today!

Anyway, I really really really need to go get a good and durable school bag at a reasonable price tomorrow. I don't know how much it'll cost ): I only have about 30 bucks and then I'll still need to save up money for the upcoming Batam trip. I haven't been to Batam before! So exciting! :D

Anyway, I can't wait for tuesday to come. I'm so looking forward to my next attachment, and to fencing practices on tuesday nights! I'm gonna try out for fencing and see how it goes, see if I like it all! :D So exciting! :D

Alright, I suppose I'll go off now, nothing much to blog about (:

Oh yeah I've got an upcoming test on Tuesday too ): Pray for me yeah! My very first test! Hopefully I'll do well! I'll need a good GPA grade every sem! :D

The secret of life is letting go
The secret of love is letting it show
In all that I do, in all that I say
Right here in this moment

The power of prayer is in the humble cry
The power of change is in giving my life
And laying down
Down at Your feet
Right here in this moment

Take my heart, take my soul
I surrender everything to Your control
And let all that is within me lift up to You and say
I am Yours and Yours alone, completely

This journey of life, is a search for truth
This journey of faith, is following You
Every step of the way, through the joy and the pain
Right here in this moment

Take my heart, take my soul
I surrender everything to Your control
And let all that is within me lift up to You and say
I am Yours and Yours alone, completely

Right here, Right now
And for the rest of my life
Hear me say . . .

Take my heart, take my soul
I surrender everything to Your control
And let all that is within me lift up to You and say
I am Yours and Yours alone, completely
I am Yours and Yours alone, completely

I love this song! :DDD It's a song of total surrenderness, asking God to take full control, because we simply can't control our own lives. As mere humans, we simply make mistakes after mistakes, leaving our lives in a total mess at the end of the day. Which better person to take control of our lives than the perfect God? And I like the second line - The secret of love is letting it show. It's only when we love others ourselves, then will we feel the love. Some people say a smile is contagious, I say the most contagious is love. For without love, would we ever be able to find joy, kindness, friendship etc? And this brings me back to how we can even love. It's all because He first loved us. God first let us see and feel His love by sending His very own Son to the Cross to die for us. And once we've found His love, everything falls into place. Out of His love pours out joy, peace and all other lovely things. His overflowing love in us would then flow out to all others around us (:

Went to church early this morning for SGL and Encouragers Meeting. :D It was good, Ian shared about the core, congregation and community. Went for children's camp meeting at Macs after that, it was good too, setteled on main timtable :D Jessie has got chicken pox, so must pray for her! Get well soon dear! :D

Still thinking about CCA. Think... I should be joining fencing. But then that means I'll miss certain Sat's practice. Oh wells. School's good, nothing much going on except the weather's been really hot for the past few days. Nearly had a heatstroke yesterday during S&W. I guess I didn't drink enough water, I was having a mild dizzy spell and everything was kind of blurry with bright flashes everywhere. :/ I probably wasn't too used to the heat too.

Alrighty, I'm getting hungry. I'll post more in future. Adios! :D (I love Spanish!)
