Tuesday, October 31, 2006Everything in its time - Corrinne May
Sometimes I wonder what lies ahead How long till my hunger is fed They say it's hard to make it in this part of town So many people on this merry-go-round
Some folks try astrology Some turn to crystal balls To find an answer, To get through it all I just fall on my knees and I try to pray In the silence I can hear Him say
The river runs and the river hides Out to the ocean and under the sky I promise you, the answer will come Hold on to patience and watch for the sign Everything in its time
I often feel like I'm two steps behind Somebody must have moved that finish line There are a thousand reasons Why I should give up But I'm stubborn in the things I believe
The river runs and the river hides Out to the ocean and under the sky I promise you, the answer will come Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
'cause maybe there's another plan One I still can't see A little surprise, like your love in my life Funny how time changes how we see
The river runs and the river hides Out to the ocean and under the sky I promise you, the answer will come Hold on to patience and watch for the sign Everything in its time Everything in its time It's still the same old story This great divide Between the want and waste And all the hunger inside I heard the news today Now I'm trying to find my place I'm just a single voice What can I do to erase All this misunderstanding All this anarchy Six degrees of separation Sometimes it's so hard to see That we are not alone in this I need to believe
so i look to You.

Monday, October 30, 2006haha. i dreamt that i was a bus driver yesterday. cheng dreamt that she was pregnant. haha we laughed so hard when she told us abt it this morning. haha apparently she was quite happy to be pregnant. haha talk about being weird.
I&R's due on wed. so we're going to sch early in the morning to just hand it in. rahh. time passes so slowly when we train out of school. the flags workshop was quite alright i guess. the kids took quite long to settle down and when we were done teaching them the verse, we had only 5 mins left for the chorus and bridge. well done. haha but we managed to pull through. smart kids. maybe they drink dumex, i dont know.
"our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."
my heart will choose to say, Lord blessed be Your name. (:

Sunday, October 22, 2006RAHH. i feel so messy now.
cell was alright today. a. amy sat in during cell. talked abt money being the root of all evil. u. peter asked us what we thought abt that phrase then i said the love of money is the root of all evil. ah well. why am i talking abt this.
rahh. i feel so messy. sat at the back today. for the first time i guess. now i know what it feels like. as i flipped through the bulletin, i was thinking of what to say. i could feel the awkwardness, the distance between us though we were just next to each other. asked her abt sch and stuff. then that was it. nothing else came to mind. i prayed, and waited. and when i thought of something, worship started. oh well. it felt worse than meeting someone new. exchanged some comments here and there during the sermon. the ice sort of broke i guess. when the service ended, i asked if i could pray for her. i closed my eyes with my mind totally blank. before i could say anything, i was tearing. things are starting to change. for the better i hope.
met vic last night for supper. that muthu is really random. seriously random. went over to jemmy's place to practise flags. not bad, i would say. then played nba with john. i lost terribly. it's a disgrace haha. ownage. my best game was like half of his score. oh well.
all i once held dear, built my life upon all these world reveres, and wars to own all i once thought gain, i have counted loss spent and worthless now, compared to this knowing You, Jesus, knowing You there is no greater thing You're my all, You're the best You're my joy, my righteousness and i love You Lord
Your grace still amazes me
9:23 pm
Saturday, October 21, 2006i will sing to and worship the King who is worthy i will love and adore Him i will bow down before Him You are my Prince of peace and i will live my life for You
indeed the best is yet to be.
seriously, God is amazing.
last night was a wham. we all had fun, didnt we? thank God for the many opportunities to serve and play at events, for the chance to start small and grow. many thanks to the cs of barker, timotheus and his team. the backdrops, logistics and technicalities were really good. (:
the experience was indescribable. partly because it's hard to describe how cold we were. haha. we were freezing during practice and had to run out to get warm before the event started. all of us were drinking water like nobody's business. went to fill our bottles during the break. we went wild in the dressing room during the break. jireh started experimenting knees to test reflexes and taught us how to fight. haha. crap. went back out during altar call. rain down was fantastic. chemistry man. towards the end, john was literally whacking. i'm surprised your sticks didnt break. haha. thankfully the logistics people managed to find clips for me. was trying to cope with the dropping sheets of paper while playing. haha thankfully the sound was sustained. grace had a pedal that stopped the music and i had one that didnt work. woohoo. haha. zonked out when i reached home last night. oh i like the seats. they look really comfortable. thanks to all who joined us in celebrating His presence. (:
i'm gonna miss the times when we all prayed together i'm gonna miss the times when we all made music together i'm gonna miss the times of intercession but one thing's for sure, there must be more than this. thank you all. (: i come before You today and there's just one thing that i want to say thank You Lord for all You've given to me for all the blessings that i cannot see thank You Lord
12:36 pm
Monday, October 16, 2006sch's all about pw these days. boring. but lectures start tmr. rahh. i go to school for only an hour on wed! just for chem. and probably more pw after that. the haze is getting bad. haha we were questioning isaac's reliability on whether he's able to lead people to barker on friday. we were thinking perhaps they need to meet at 5 to find their way. suggested that isaac should carry a flag and provide stickers for the people like those tour groups. ultimate man. celebrate His presence's something like passionac.
CELEBRATE HIS PRESENCE ACS barker 1800-2130 20th oct do let me know if you're going.
the best is yet to be. (:
and even though sometimes Your ways i cannot understand i'll never walk away because my future's in Your hands

Sunday, October 15, 2006really?
sigh. the things we could have done but we didnt. time time time. and cliques.
and here's the million dollar question. can unity be realised only with a diversity?
fads. people go after fads. i remember the quiz thing the girls took this morning. the very first question. does being in a relationship affect the relationship you have with your friends? something in that context. when i look back at how things were, there's a tinge of sadness. okay maybe something more than that.
sigh. the things we could have done but we didnt. time time time. and cliques.
honestly, i'm afraid. the awkwardness when you meet someone not knowing what to say. although you know you've got loads to tell the person but after a long period of not talking, somehow you end up not knowing what to say. it's an unexplainable kind of awkwardness. rahh. think the trip to ac made me think a lot. the people i met and all the memories. just sitting at the grandstand and looking out onto the field, all the flashbacks came running.
i dont know how we met. but i know our parents do. i cant remember the first words i spoke to you. i didnt remember all the conversations we had. at that time, i didnt feel that you were that important. i never realised that my words could mean something to you. until one fine christmas, you wrote me a card. in it was something i said to you which i thought you wouldnt take it to heart. it was a form of encouragement then, for the situation you were in. but when i read the words over and over, i realised the impact my words had on you, and the kind of friend you were in my heart. i realised how much you wished for us to be different, but we disappointed you. there were great memories, no doubt. months went by, then came years. we drifted and drifted, till we got further. cliques were formed, people were excluded. inside jokes and laughter, while some stood in the corner. the hurt that grew while standing outside the circle. you backslided, but no one lent you a hand. the hopes you had, now dashed and given up. when we finally realised what we should have done, is it all too late?
sigh. the things we could have done but we didnt. time time time. and cliques.
at least we're still talking i guess. we all miss you loads. seriously.
looking out onto the field where colleen was playing frisbee, i wanted to play too. but my back ached a lot. rahh. had the impulse to run to get rid of the rush of emotions but figured i would look really retarded. sitting where i was, i was deep in thoughts. until some choir people started practising their carols behind me. haha i was shocked. suddenly serenaded by voices. but ac choir's fantastic. oh and dance too. well done, candice! amazing.
chp practice was well, not bad. john, you should sponsor us ear plugs, seriously. buy me lunch if your sticks break. haha.
break away.
really.
9:10 pm
Monday, October 09, 2006rahh. rahh. rahh.

chp practice yesterday was interesting. spent like 25 mins on complete. all the syncopation and stuff. we took so long that i had to rush off to the toilet halfway. haha grace followed me cos she couldnt take it too. my back was aching by the time we were done.
i am too distracted. pwpwpwpwpwpw. everyone's chionging wr. so are we. ny043, we can do it!
indescribable, uncontainable You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name You are amazing, God all powerful, untameable awestruck, we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim You are amazing, God
