I wrote more than two posts today because I feel so free and inspired to think and experience things and thoughts that are wandering in and out my mind at this stage of life. How breathtaking is this ability instilled in us to be able to use our brains to the max. God has always meant for us to be advanced in our thinking and ways. So far, sadly, many of us are only using a small percentage of what God has already endowed us with. So who are with me seeking for truth and on the quest for more and more knowledge??? You`re welcomed aboard.

I want to say this to you. Let this be a pledge or an affirmation. Whatever it sounds like. It`s for you and you and you too. And especially for you:)

I am an imperfect being. And I accept myself as I am. I can love  you this much because my Father in heaven has taught me how to love. And because He has loved me first.

Do not expect me to be perfect. I can`t be your perfect friend or anything like that, because I believe I am not perfect enough to be called perfect. To say that I am perfect is like telling a fish that he can dance on land. And when that fish believes that it is perfect, it will die of extreme dehydration as soon as its body leaps through the air and lands on the ground. See the imagery? It will be “dancing” non stop on the hot and humid-sucking ground until the last atoms of its energy are fully drained out of its lithe body. 

We`re here on this earth to learn and to re-learn things that our divine Father has already in mind. To experience pain, happiness, bitterness, heartbreak, immense love, etc…This is what the Lord has thought of before you come into being.

Talking about perfection. I love you because I am imperfect. Because if I am perfect, I could just love myself and be content with it. Correct?  And I love you because you are also imperfect. Your imperfections, your flaws are like the dead sea mud of Israel. They might look unpleasant at first sight, but…. Slap some of those dead sea mud on your face, skin, and you will see the wonder of what this miraculous mud can do to your skin and whole being. (tips: U don`t have to go all the way to Israel to experience this. You can buy it from Singapore. Ask me) 

“I love thee and thine imperfections shine like gold in my eyes.” MMM09

So I hope that you would comprehend what I am trying to say here. Whether you are reading my blog regularly or not.

There is this saying that says that imperfection is what makes you beautiful and whole. And to me, both of our imperfections are like uneven surfaces on a person`s foot and the ground. Without imperfection-without those uneven surfaces, there won`t be friction and the walking person might fall sooner or later once he loses his balance. Makes sense? physic.

We are two different people with imperfections, therefore praise the Lord that we are made this way. Our imperfections are what makes us “perfect”. With that fact in mind, we can connect and be “joined” together in a divine union. I believe in this. I have thought about it long enough to realise this. Without those imperfections, life would be very boring, wouldn`t it?  No drama, no complaints, nothing to improve on, nothing to talk about…..etc. We might as well be God. HAHA. Btw no one can be God simply because none of you is perfect. And until you are, you can never be in perfect union with Him. 

Knowing that we`re imperfect is letting God do His divine work in us so that He will be glorified. Knowing that we`re imperfect is like  telling God, “Father, we know we`re imperfect beings. We are letting you do your wonderful work in us. We humble ourselves before you so that you can do your will and purpose in our lives.”  This is a powerful prayer by itself, much like the sinner`s prayer. It changes you radically. So let`s do this together. 

More to come from me. Lord, let my mind speak to me and let me speak my mind. Carry your words of wisdom through this imperfect vessel you call your son.

Ok, I shall write more often now. I am sooooo inspired by what I have just read btw, and yeah, nothing beats writing, just getting all your emotion out. I would rather my blog become a place like my mind, where thoughts drift in and out every now and then, THAN a dead place like a garbage pile at the back of my house. All thought thoughts and felt emotions…useless..

Why we Love is the book that I have just read currently. Omg, it really makes me think of you every five lines I read. Rather scary but I am no obsessive compulsive on this one. But really, it feels good too. Knowing that this is what God yearns for you to know all along. I felt like He was saying this to me, “You see….I told ya….”

You know ppl, we are all created to think. That`s why the creator gave us all a brain to think, a heart to feel and a spirit to communicate. And No, I am not stopping myself from thinking. I will always love you. No matter what. You know and even said it yourself that I love you more than I would ever judge you. And you`re absolutely right.

Had quite a bit of deserved fun yesterday. Went to Zouk with my bestfriend`s friends for Zouk very POP nite. Sounds interesting! And yea it was a hell of fun!! There are free popcorn and drinks(for those who played the games) and also popsicles. Oh, did I say Popsicles? Yes! you got to suck it hard in order to eat it. Oh, nope, I am not refering to testicles. Dun be dirty minded. lol

Anyway, yea..Zouk is always fun with da rabbit,…

Sat was fun too. Celebrated KC`s and Peixin`s farewell. Sad to know that they are leaving us behind but hey, they would always remain in our fondest memories.

God be with them always.

MY NEW MSN!!

Hey guys, 

have you ever wondered why you have not seen me online on msn for the past couple of weeks or so? Or maybe you have seen me online last week, but that guy IS NOT ME!!! What ever happens, I am willing to let things go and start afresh with my new msn. 

Well, I heard from several of my friends that my old msn (ronankeatingx@hotmail.com)  has been sending out viruses. Oh my!! and also sickening Adverts from porn sites, gay sites and even lesbian sites!!! OMG!!! So yeah, if you have received any of these crazy stuff from “me” for the past few weeks or even longer, forgive “me” for not taking action asap, or that person who has been sending out those perverted stuffs to you all. 

So for a fresh new start, my new msn will be: 

marcomarcusmark@hotmail.com

Please add me again if you are my friend or at least someone I know:) Be the first one to be on my new list!!! lol

Sorry I couldn`t possible remember all your email addresses, therefore I `ll be very appreciative if you could take the innitiative to add me. And don`t delete my old msn address YET, just incase we could catch that devil in the act! or if God is willing enough, I could retrieve it back. I`ll let you know again if I do, but meanwhile I am using:

marcomarcusmark@hotmail.com 

That`s rite!!  

Marco

Father, today I felt a little terrible.

First, I missed someone. Really badly. 

I didn`t mean to take my attention off you for one day. It already felt terrible after half a day. I merely just wanted to see how far I could stay sane without you. Truth is, I can`t. I have got withdrawal symptoms. I just wanted to proof myself if all these feelings are real. And they are. I do not wish to be separated from you ever again, either mentally or physically.  

Second, I regretted having done something quite stupid. I should have come to that 4 pm meeting. So annoying, so tomorrow I have to wake up to go for another meeting at 9am. Arghhh..But I know it would be worth it. Even if for a while. 

Father, you`re in control. I put ALL my trust in your hands. Hallelujah Amen.

We`ll miss you Sermeng. I know tpg2 is never gonna be the same without you. 

After all that we`ve been through, I feel that the best way to send u off was to give you a proper send off.  

Anyway, this weekend has been quite a blessing for me. Even though my friend whom I wanted to bring to service that Saturday did not manage to turn up due to his other friends` commitments, I felt that God is still working together with me for a greater cause. Far greater than what I can think of now. The future is not bleak. It is just the beginning as it was written. I wanna partner with you for this cause and Lord, I know you`ll make me useful and purposeful for your will. Truthfully I was quite disappointed yesterday but my mourning turned into rejoice after the service. It was really nice knowing some people that I had prayed for finally came to accept Jesus. I saw one hand up in front of my very eyes, where I was standing for a fraction of a second and down again and I knew at that instant the heaven was rejoicing. And I saw the gleefulness on her face and I knew it has to be because of the Lord.

Time to get ready for work tomorrow. I have not forgotten my love for piano. The scores that I photocopied from the Esplanade library are not going to waste. God, make me worthy in your eyes. Give me even more opportunities to love the love you`ve sent down for me. For I have prayed for this to come. It is from heaven.

Adam or Kris??? Who`s The American Idol?

So, Adam Lambert or Kris Allen? 

The glam, diva-ish rocker with the big voice OR the worship leader?

For me, personally, speaking from my point of view as a musician, I would say, “Go go, Adam!!!” Never have I witnessed this kind of singing on the american idol stage before in their total of 8 seasons. His, for me, was simply out of this world. Unsungable, infact by most male singers. No offence to myself. I love the way he goes Aretha Franklin-ish everytime he hits the high notes. Thank God he doesn`t sound like Mariah or Celine or else I would sue. laugh. Anyway, on the big note, he`s the singer I most admired this season and yeah, I am not going to deprive myself of the joy of listening to him sing, just because I know of  his sexual orientation. And please, before you could gasp in horror. Stop the judging right now. No matter how shocked you might be. Maybe you`ve heard of it or not, it doesn`t matter at all. I love his singing and even IF he doesn`t win, he`ll still have loads of supporters to support him all the way. And on this age, winning american idol is not the most essential thing to propell you through your musical journey. Just look at Reuben Studdard. Where is he? Who???? Who????? Exactly. My point. Like what they all say, It is all in THE MUSIC, not your orientation or anything else. It`s about What you could do best, that is in Singing. So in Adam, I can see him changing how the world thinks in time to come. He is going to revolutionize music and the way people think of LGBT. My second point. So can you see what God is doing in this age? Or are you too blind to see? 

If my previous sentence hasn`t got your brain working, think again. The other contestant, Kris Allen is a worship leader at New Life Church in America. See how coincidental this is? God is working through all these if you haven`t noticed it yet by now. I might not like Kris` way of delivering his songs, but I love his charisma and appeal. Not to mention that he is not bad looking himself. At least, he is not pale in comparison with Adam. There`s only one thing that I am cock sure about. I have an unmistakable feeling that he`s going to win a hell loads of votes from the Christian community in America. And I am not even doubting that he might even win this competition. And I am sure God will see him through. Heck cares if he doesn`t win. I can already envision him writing Christian worship songs and God is going to work through him. To touch you and me and the rest of the world. See how this American Idol show has the potential power to influence the world and our minds? Unlike our Singapore Idol which produced nothing less than a … no offense though. It`s a wake up call from me. I believe Singapore deserves a revamp. A revamp from it`s hopeful contestants. This season`s Singapore Idol, I do hope to see quality and more originality. I see your heads nodding in agreement with me like doggies on a car`s dashboard. 

So once again, back to the vote.

My vote is for …….AAAAAddd     KKKKKRRrrrr

True

I made a vow to start my gyming again today. And yeah sure, within 2 months, I am sure I am gonna a size bigger. I hope. And fitter too. Fur dich. 

Can`t wait to swim at Suntec. Mit dir

And my mum just bought two Chicken soup for the Christian soul and I am so reading them tonite. Tommorow is another eggciting day. We`re going to check out the repainting and redecorating works at Ang Mo Kio. SIP never sounds this fun!! Thank God for the extra day off today where I can enjoy my day well. Really lovin it each day, really..;)

And I was quite touched that you know…(can`t say it here. have to learn to be more wary with words esp here where tens flock every single day). You rock my world. Jesus, your faithful love endureth forever!!

Sad Eyes (to be posted yesterday actually..)

..spending every minute with…oh time to wake up.! hehe

Oh dear me, I have neglected my blog for several days and of  course whenever I do that, my viewership drops like no body`s business.

Anyway, Sat is coming and I am so eggcited to do my cause for God. You know what I mean….

SIP= Suntanning, Idling, Passing off time 

HAHA. Just a thought. Yea, I love SIP. I never knew it could be this nice. Got some work to do, but not so much until u get stressed out and pimples start popping all over your beautiful mug. lol

So far, the company has been very nice to us. They didn`t really overload us with work, unlike other companies who love to treat our students like Free labourers. Thank God for this, u know, cos man! I hate to slough my arse off like the rest of the students. If not for this company I am attached to now, I think I`ll be having dark circles, tired looking complexion and no life at all! There are many things I can`t mention here,  but yea, u got my point. Ich liebe meine SIP!!! Leben is gut. 

Anyway, going off to the prayer meeting later at Suntec. I am so exited to pray for my case and the people that really need God. I wanna bring salvation to more people and I know God is doing something about it right now. And I am doing something about it too. 

Finally one song I really want to share with you.

To be with you…

I realised that for the past few weeks, almost all my entries have been quite short and brief. And most of them are usually accompanied by a music video or performance. Well, that kind of thing is not going to dominate this space after I found out that my viewership suddenly rocketed to 42 people per day today! Wow, almost 50 people read my blog everyday! Last time even have a few days that surpassed 50. O.O  Ok, gotta write some quality stuff from now on. See? This space is indeed a very useful advertising space. Just a thought. 

The Audi Fashion Festival is really quickly coming to an end before I even got the chance to get my hands on the tix. So exasperating. It was unlike the last year April`s Singapore Fashion Festival which was organized by STB. So yeah, just too bad that I didn`t get to go this time. Wish to maybe next year. Maybe God is telling me not to be overly obsessed with the world of fashion and stuff like that cos it`s not eternal. I guess it`s better to put my focus on something Bigger and worth more than a mere fashion festival. LOL. Salvation. THEM.

Ok, so far here are the things that have been going on in my life:

1. SIP

2. Friends (too explicit to mention)

3. Sowing (with much success, praise God!)  

4. Ask me

 

A few things that I really look forward to for the next few weeks: (It gotta be good)

1. Chill out at Sentosa, (Siloso beach in the afternoon and Cafe Del Mar in the evening, ahh…so romantic)

2. Dine at my dream restaurant, La Villa (Very nostalgic. It is at River valley road, located on the site of my old primary school. Go search)

3. Spend time with my loved one. And you too.

4. Do all these four things with you.

 

And One thing I desire. Salvation for them. THEM. 

It`s written on my blog in September last year. It is still the same now. Unchanged and unedited. Only that it is coming true now. And I have seen it happening with my own eyes. One convert. The first. More will come. God is working with me together for that mission. Salvation for LGBT. Emmanuel. God with us.

Mama

A beautiful tribute to all the mums in the world. This is the best way I could think of to express my heartfelt gratitude and love for her. “I hope you`re happy with my life..”

Mama

Mama thank you for who I am
Thank you for all the things I’m not
Forgive me for the words unsaid
For the times
I forgot

Mama remember all my life
You showed me love,You sacrificed
Think of those young and early days
How I’ve changed
along the way

And I know you believed
And I know you had dreams
And I’m sorry it took all this time to see
That I am where I am because of your truth
I miss you, I miss you

Mama forgive the times you cried
Forgive me for not making right
All of the storms I may have caused
And I’ve been wrong
Dry your eyes

Mama I hope this makes you smile
I hope you’re happy with my life
At peace with every choice I made
How I’ve changed
Along the way
And I know you believed in all of my dreams
And I owe it all to you, Mama

 

Celine Best notes

Watch it to believe it.

Hope you don`t forget about us.
