Thank you Jesus for the day. For the past few days, it has certainly been a blessing. Life is a bed of roses for me because God teaches me to turn problems and opportunities into something advantageous for me. Praise him. Ok…fast forward to today. We just had cg at my house again today! and despite the disturbances we face from people we dun want to face, we managed to get through cg quite smoothly. It has been a blessing. During worship, I envisioned God as a lamb shining brightly with a white light all over his body guarding the study room that we were using for cg. Wow!! 

Tomorrow`s day outing and evening chill out at the Singapore flyer Christian bar are a few of the things I m looking forward to=D See ya ppl there !!

SIP was seriously quite slack for these two days. We came in at 9 on Monday and left at 11. Today we came in at 10 and left around the same time too. Woohoo…Shiok!!

This is how I am feeling right now. I wish I could relate to you better and emphatize with you even more. God give me the compassion. I know what you`re going through. I can love like this because God has loved me first. Stop thinking for a while and just know and trust me that I`ll be there with you always. Through bitter sweet memories and dreams. If you call out on me. And if you open your heart to me and accept my love.

You are beautiful when you cry, every drop of tears is precious in my eyes. I am always waiting.  

 

If you’re lost, you can look and you will find me 

time after time 

if you fall I will catch you, I’ll be waiting 

time after time ..

Here it is from my fave male singer, Ronan Keating, if u haven`t noticed him on my email address yet. lol 

Baby, can I hold you tonight?

Vanishing

 

I am sitting in the library thinking about the many people that have impacted my life.

And how sad it is to know that you wouldn`t even know that it`s you.

And before I know it, you`re vanishing….can`t get enuff of this song. A very soulfull song indeed. It was excellent both technically and emotionally. I have been trying to master the techniques involved and I can tell you, it`s nerve wracking both emotionally and physically but once you nail it, you feel good man. You feel good:)

This is my fave soul balad from Mariah Carey. Just look at the faces of her backup singers when she was so into the song, screaming and relentlessly singing her soul out. They were like, ” Omg omg, she`s unbelievable!” And yeah, you can spot Randy Jackson at 3:24. Like someone said, this song is simply beyond orgasmic!

I knew what we would be doing for SIP last Fri, just that I didn`t have time to blog about it.

At first when we heard that we would be attached to the compant ATC (Aljunied Town Council) I was a bit skeptical. What on earth am I there for? lol. It turned out quite allright in the end. Basically we are doing estate management which I think should be cool enough for my liking. At least no computer language involved, happy alreaady. So yea, the three of us gonna stick together following the staff there doing their rounds at estate I guess. And yea, I pray that we could have plenty of freedom there, and of course plenty of time to learn something while having fun. Thank God it`s not a 9-5 kindda job, but we still need to clock in and out in school whenever we need to be in school la of course. Sigh

Overeall, it should be a good thing to have. ==D

Yes, I admit I rarely went for evaxing in school etc. I don`t share Christ very often either, but God has been very good to me. He gave me my first convert last nite! Finally I understand the real joy that Christians feel, that is from evangelizing or when their friends cross the line of faith. I would say it was all God`s work, not mine alone. 

Wanna welcome Bjorn into this eternal family of God. Thank God for his life and all. Finally for the very first time.. I feel so blessed and cool =D

Many things have been happening this holiday. I got a lot to share. From friends that are slowly coming back to know Christ again to miracles that moved my heart knowing that He is working his powers deep within me and I felt it right there and then.

Prayers changes things, that`s what they say and I believe it.

Yesterday I went to Great World city to gym at one of the Planet Fitness there. I was very shocked upon discovering that it`s no more planet fitness now, but True Fitness. And to make things worse, or better actually, my indo girl-friend who was working at Cali a few months ago was working there at True Fitness now. So I was like, “Allright..”

But you know what, Thank God that she`s very nice to me. She gave me a two weeks pass, cos I worked with her before at cali. Sweet rite? lol. So I am going to gym at great word meanwhile before school reopens, or better still, SIP commences.

Oh ya, Still have a few wants and wishes to fullfill before I end my sweet holiday:

1. Suntan and chill at Sentosa. Have a drink or two at Cafe Del Mar. So romantic rite?

2. Write a cool song.

3. Get/secure a part time job. Considering I`ll have plenty of time to kill during SIP. haha. I could be wrong..

4. Get a date. Just kidding…haha. Dun stumble yet. lol. I mean, make a date to swim in school. 

5. Dine at the River Valley restaurant, “La Villa”. 

6. If all these are not yet fulfilled, return to no 1. Start over. 

 

So far these things have been achieved:

1. Sun tan everyday till I am damn dark. 

2. Gym till I am hard. I mean tough….*cough cough*

Thinking of you..

Easter

Just came back from Easter service which was just miling with people. WOooo!! 

Glad that my SMU friend actually came down all the way here to attend the service with us. But unfortunately we had to leave so soon, and that`s probably why you couldn`t spot us in the crowd after the service. 

Anyway, we went to SMU to “see see” and it really inspired me to work harder to pull up my GPA. And yeah, the SMU gym is so hawt! must work harder for it! 

Omg, I don`t know why I feel so love sick now. LOL

The Knowing

Yesterday was my first time to SMU. Boy they got a lot of nice clean facilities. Wish I could end up there one day. Yeah, with my current GPA. We had dinner at Indo Padang, an indonesian restaurant. And no, I don`t get paid blogging about them. The food was like awesome and my 2 lucky friends got to sample fine Indonesian dishes under $50. Well, it`s not that expensive la. $42 for the free flow of rice, two big dishes and one veg dish is all worth it. And to mention the extra crumbs from the fried chicken which is yummy. And some more the manager was good to us and he gave us one free avocado desert when I ordered one Es teler (drunken ice). So yea, with lots of chips and anchovies, it sure made us sooo full. I can`t help myself but eat to my heart`s content. need to gym now alr. .. After the fantastic dinner, we headed for Iluma, Bugis new shopping haven. We watched “The Knowing”, which to me was awesome! So it was the Aliens that put “Adam and Eve” in the garden of Eden la….lol. Funny ending. But the whole story was totally wacky. I wanted to be like the chosen one, Caleb, the son of John, (Nicholas Cage) in the movie. He could hear aliens warning him about future events that were about to take place. And with just 134287894092368712563584904840354632319213216214568302919281255239, he could predict when the world`s next disaster was going to take place and where.

I was out looking for a job yesterday while waiting for someone. I looked at La Praire, a high end cosmetic brand and I thought that looked challenging and interesting enough for me. At least I can earn some money during the holiday which I know is going to end soon and also earn some experience and knowledge about high end skin care . 

Other than that, I tried asking for internship at New Urban Male and Acid. Haha. It could be my first big break if I could sing there..

Meanwhile, if I can`t do it in church, I`ll do it elsewhere. I know my God will realize my dream for me in and out of church.If the peeps in church think that I am not spiritual enough to sing there, then let it be, I can be more spiritual elsewhere. Sometimes you have to take the road less taken if you are that serious about singing. Agree? Realise your dream, no matter how hard it takes, no matter how many people laugh at you. If not, you`re no better than a mere wannabe in a pool of millions of other wannabees. Mariah started out in a lousy restaurant, so…and Celine even worse, in a family owned bar. So dun look down at these people, because before you know it, …

Anyway, I dun mind singing almost anywhere. Weddings, parties, etc etc…as long as it makes me happy and at one with myself. I look up to David Archuleta not because of his singing, but because he`s very young and so daring about his passion to sing professionally. Despite of his vocal paralysis years ago, he persevered to sing again. And as the saying goes, if God wills it for you, anything can happen.

Evan

Easter is coming and I am hoping to bring my friends down for service on Sunday. My bro also, if God wants me to do so. In fact He wants me to. 

Anyway, I watched a really nice movie yesterday. “Evan Almighty”. It was not really a very old movie, but it really teaches us to listen and do whatever God tells us to do, even if he asks you to build an Ark in the middle of nowhere. 

Omg, I think it`s sooo cute…just watch it and you`ll laugh non stop cos to me it is quite like a parody about Noah and God. LOL

And the little black lady talks so funny also. Well, actually the movie starts to become increasingly interesting at it`s second half when weird things started to happen to Evan. God talked to him and yeah….boom! He started to grow beard, even wore a robe. At first he looked like Jesus and then Moses, when his whole hair turned all white. 

I feel that apart from all the laughs, this movie teaches us about humility and submission to God. It teaches us to lean not on our understanding but on His, for His plans are not your plans and your plans are not His plans. It also emphasizes the importance of obedience to God, not to man. To fully trust in His plans and ways rather than what man thinks is right. If you trust in Him, he`ll make your paths straight. In all circumstances, He should be your no 1. 

(Gen 6:14) ¹⁴ So make yourself an ark of cypress ^[a] wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.

Touch my Hand

I think this version of David Archuleta singing “Touch my Hand” is great!! love the guitarist and the drummer. Perfekt!!

David Archuleta

Today was an awesomely awesome day and I had to blog about today because it was indeed awesome! Praise the Lord for the day he has made. 

I met my idol today!!! well, not idol as in gods but a singer. Yeah, I met David Archuleta!! 

I was walking aimlessly today at Bugis area, when suddenly I had a sudden to visit the new nearby shopping centre there, Ilumi. I was dead tired and disappointed the earlier part of the day and had no more mood to go for window shopping, but something inside me was telling me to go there. So I was like, “Allright, maybe I`ll check out the movies there..” 

Upon entering the area, I saw throngs of teenagers sitting outside the place. Then I saw a BIG BIG poster of David Archuleta and a fully set up stage in the hall. Wow, I was thinking, “This is indeed my lucky day, I can`t believe I am seeing David perform in Bugis!” And true enough after hours of waiting and window shopping, I had a chance to see the boy. The shouts from those angsty and hormone-filled teenagers were deafening. And I was irritated to some point. But heck cares, I was happy to just take a glimpse of him. After moments of delays and “false alarms” which made those hormone-raged teen gals shout and scream like there`s no tomorrow whenever someone walked in with a line up of securities behind, finally David came in. He was late for 15 mins. Haha. Yeah, stars like him do get excused when they are late. Then he sang three of his hits. 

The first one was my no one favourite, “Touch my hand”. Then he played “A thousand mile” on the keyboard. It was wowoowow. He even looked me in the eye when he was singing the last song, “Crush”. I suddenly got the inspiration to sing and write music again!! How I wish I had him. I mean, ummmm have him as a fellow musician in a band or something. I am sure he would do great in his music career. Good luck to him. And I love his sexy and husky vocals. 

Thank God for the day. I felt it was very God-led because I dreamt about moments like this before. Thank God for David who poured new inspirations unto me also!

Here are the pics of the day!

Hark

Something that looked a bit dull and hopeless at first can turn out to be so good and positive the next. All these because you know how to turn things around and because your father in heaven listens to your prayer and heartfelt groans.

It would be a thousand pities if women wrote like men, or lived like men, or looked like men, for if two sexes are quite inadequate, considering the vastness and variety of the world, how should we manage with one only? Ought not education to bring out and fortify the differences rather than the similarities? For we have too much likeness as it is, and if an explorer should come back and bring word of other sexes looking through the branches of other trees at other skies, nothing would be of greater service to humanity; and we should have the immense pleasure into the bargain of watching Professor X rush for his measuring-rods to prove himself ‘’superior.”

37000 eternal promises

I have time to blog now, particularly because the sun was not within my sight and outside is a BIG downpour. So I am thinking, let`s just take a break from suntanning today. I am black enough. lol 

Anyway, just thinking over HOW MUCH God has blessed me with this whole week. 

My supp paper, as I mentioned before in my previous post and also my friends and the countless blessings may they be in monetary or other forms. I think that it`s only right that He receives all the glory. 

As you may know, as the camp was approaching last few weeks ago, my heart was filled with constant trepidation and fear of my incoming supp paper. I had a lot of things in my hands. I had to get so many presents for the camp, drinks, yeah those “sparkling juice you drank”, and also my supp paper. Which is more important? Of course, in my father`a eyes, It had to be the Supp paper. And yeah, that`s one reason why I couldn`t stay overnight in camp:(  

But things really turned out really well. Truth is, I did not study 100% for my supp, which was “who cares now..” And I strongly believe that I passed not because of my own ability. Really. It had to be something divine that reached out to me during those scary moments in the exam room. I had strong faith in God. I know that he would watch over my paper during those moments. And friends, let me tell you this, If you put your 100% faith in God and let Him take control of everything you couldn`t control, you would be assured that you would be rejoicing now too. I know that I am a sinner but still God is not counting on my sins. I did many things that broke His heart but still He forgives, if only I ask. I was very touched and I nearly cried, seriously when I realised that God has helped me pass my supp. I was like, “Jesus, I don`t deserve this, but you gave it to me…” This tells me something about God`s Love for me. That His love is indeed perfect and that He doesn`t keep record of wrong doings as what the Love verse says, “Love is patient, Love is Kind….” 

I know that the same power that God has in Christ is in me too, as it is written in Romans 8:11 (King James Version): ¹¹But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Therefore we are called “Christians” which means “little Christs”. 

If We are the Children of God through Christ Jesus who is the Son of God, aren`t we also sons and daughters of God, like Christ? And if we are God`s sons and daughters, it is very possible that we have God`s power in us, just like Christ; If we have that much faith like Christ. 

Luke 22:29-30 (New International Reader’s Version)

²⁹ And I give you a kingdom, just as my Father gave me a kingdom. ³⁰ Then you will eat and drink at my table in my kingdom. And you will sit on thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel.

This is one of the 37000 promises in the Word of God. Let`s claim it. 

 

Things are gonna pick up it`s positive momentum again. I believe
