Last 2007 post

oh my ... 2007 just flew by and now im waiting for ch 5 to start the countdown. had to miss this year's fireworks though ):

anw 2007 recap :
hardcore rollercoaster this year with people having come and gone.
made quite a few friends and also got to strenghthen some bonds between some of them.
realised that sec3 is a tough year and we should not slack so much
(alright , 1 min left to the new year!)

so i guess i shall start planning my new year's resolution which 1/2 of it in which i know wont be fufilled. and i couldnt post in time. anw i really thank god for those who made an impact in my life this yr be it good or bad, it has been a memorable one (:

Silence.

"The world is much quieter now, if you stop and listen, you can hear God's plan." while watching i am legend recently, this struck me. many a times we are really too busy or just cant be bothered to stop and spend some time with god. i know i myself am guilty of that. god has really made plans for all of us, but 9 times out of ten, we ignore him and end up making the wrong choices. since this new year is approaching, i shall try to really sit back and try to listen to what the lord has in mind for me.

hebrews 12 verses 5-6

"MY SON, DO NOT REGARD LIGHTLY THE DISCIPLINE OF THE LORD, NOR FAINT WHEN YOU ARE REPROVED BY HIM; FOR THOSE WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE DISCIPLINES, AND HE SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES."

(: onward to a happy new year!

City Music Sale 1st - 31st Dec.

Now Playing: Joe McLaughlin - So Close

You’re in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I’m with you
So close to feeling alive

A life goes by
Romantic dreams will stop
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I wanted to hold you
So close

So close to reaching that famous happy end
Almost believing this was not pretend
And now you’re beside me and look how far we’ve come
So far we are so close

How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We’re so close
To reaching that famous happy end
And almost believing this was not pretend
Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far


haha , this song is from the enchanted soundtrack. the first time i heard i was like,"coooool song" and its lyrics and quite meaningful too.

and anw, my classical guitar is kindda spoilt alr and i need an acoustic guitar. it's disheartening to know that something i've owned for 5 years and also its like some family "treasure" of 30+ years is spoilt. i dont think i will throw it away. ):

oh well , at leats there's the city music sale on , i shall go scout for some cool guitars after my trip. i cant wait to see what they have to offer.

i'll be good next year. please get me what i want santa. (:

Xmas!

hohoho , xmas is around the corner. just 18-19 more days (: im sure this year's xmas gonna be much better than the shitty one last year where there wasnt a happy moment. and also , i'd be celebrating it in singapore this time round. excluding new years day, xmas is the last holiday tt we are gonna have, how sad...anw this song's for the people who have yet gotten into the xmas mood (:




i dont think i need to post the name of the song , haha

Zero Concentration.

Now Playing: The Click Five - Time Machine

Oh what mess
you've got the best of my heart
It broke and now it's just a joke
Cause you're moving right along
I'm still here and you're gone
Oh what shame
You know I didnt mean for the winds to change
Won't ever be the same
Cause the kisses that you blew
Could never ever move

I think I need some time by myself
Without anybody else
I just need to unwind
In my time machine
I need to go far away
A few years back would be ok
I just need to unwind
In my time machine

Hey you
Ya i'm talking to you
You lost the love in bed
And now it's just dead
Cause it didn't mean a thing
Waiting for a ring
Hey it's a game
And ain't it a shame that it's just a show
I thought that this was love
But I can't be fooled again
I'm cryin' out
But I can't give in

I think you need some time by yourself
Without anybody else
You just need to unwind
In your time machine
You need to go far away
A few years back would be ok
You just need to unwind
In your time machine

All the things that we could change
(things that we could change)
Now we'll never be the same

I think I need some time by myself
Without anybody else
I just need to unwind
In my time machine
I need to go far away
A few years back would be ok
I just need to unwind
In my time machine

By Myself
I don't need anybody else
I just need to unwind
In my time machine
In my time machine


ah , i just bought my school books and browsed through them and i thought "another huge chuck of info" =/ , i dont think jc will be better, for all we know it could be worse. pri sch and sec1 felt as if it were yesterday, stress didnt matter then, and there was no such thing as angst. we could hv all the fun we want. upper sec kinda sucks with so much %$%&^ happening and stuff, hahaha.

and anyway, im supposed to be studying but im not really at full concentration, im like blogging right now , hahaa.. and also, im kinda excited, my dental appt is tmr and i might be able to remove my braces as said by the dentist. i hope he's not lying. after 2 years and 2 mnths they're finally coming off! (:

things can be gone when u least expect it, ive lost quite alot these past 2 years, i kinda miss you guys =/ and 6F too...

Hard.

haha , its hard to write words now. my hand feels dead. after like 1 whole month , i finally bothered to pick up a pen and write and write and write. furthermore, the handwriting is %^#^@. oh well , i better get used to it, hols is gonna be over soon, and that is super demoralizing.
alright, back to my books (:

John Mayer - Belief



walk through the tunnel

Study time.

went bowling with bryan and cheng today before going cheng's house to watch house of wax. cheng was 1 half hours late and hence, he was forced to pay for all our bowling shoes. havent really bowled for a long time and all we could see were balls happily rolling along the gutter.

bryan grieving after his ball entered the gutter. hahaha


cheng has a ball fetish (:

and here i get the ball into the gutter as well.

anw, its the 30th of nov and by the time this post gets published it should be 1st dec. which sadly, means that i have no more time to be slacking off and going out like it was any normal holiday. i have to put my mind and soul into focusing on my studies. i feel that even though i have a one month early start, i dont think it is enough. i just received excellent news that my prelims are starting on the 5th week of jan which means approximately 9 weeks more to study. and also 9 more months to the O levels.

im asking you for help once again lord, give me strength to pull through this new year awaiting me. give me the focus that i need, i need your help more than ever, especially in this critical year.

Commitment.

started my guitar lesson before i went out. after the lesson , as i sat on the bus i thought, "i've learnt for so long but there's just so much." i feel that these to years with the guitar wasnt really promising. with so much more to learn, im starting to question just how much devotion i put into it. after seeing the sea of info i still need to take in, i feel that i didnt improve much since ive started. sometimes i really feel like giving it up but the money i spent on guitar really holds me back. i wonder how long it'll take. the talk with shi yuan really shook me, it made me realise how much guitar means to me. well, i guess saying that i'll try my best wont really work as i have said that countless times but i never really cared. nevertheless, i shall continue, regardless of how long it takes.

even for a lifetime.

Wrong.

okay so went out with team mates today to watch Hero (supposedly Enchanted) yi chye that goon went to buy the wrong ticket which left me unhappy for a short period of time. anw the show's also quite good , and takuya kimura is quite good-looking too =P

holiday.

(: just two more weeks till i go overseas, ah i cant wait

and also i have to start saving $$$ for the trip, the stuff over there's gonna be very ex.

time is running out.

Now Playing: Muse - Time Is Running Out

I think I'm drowning
asphyxiating
I wanna break the spell
that you've created

you're something beautiful
a contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction

you will be
the death of me
yeah, you will be
the death of me

bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

our time is running out
and our time is running out
you can't push it underground
we can't stop it screaming out

I wanted freedom
but I'm restricted
I tried to give you up
but I'm addicted

now that you know I'm trapped
sense of elation
you'll never dream of breaking this fixation
you will squeeze the life out of me

bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

our time is running out
and our time is running out
you can't push it underground
we can't stop it screaming out
how did it come to this

you will suck the life out of me

bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

our time is running out
and our time is running out
you can't push it underground
we can't stop it screaming out

how did it come to this

okay this may not be the right song describe what i wanna type. but anyway, time is really running out , the hols are ending in just one month and there's the stupid O lvls next year. i havent started while ive seen some people starting very very early. notably justin and ong, darn muggers....

hello studies, in the end reality catches up to us in the form of books.

The Calling - Wherever You Will Go


So lately, been wondering
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face
If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Then between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own

If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

And maybe, I'll find out
A way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days
If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Then I hope there's someone out there
Who can bring me back to you

If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

Run away with my heart
Run away with my hope
Run away with my love

I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart, in your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time

If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

If I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go
I'll go wherever you will go

Now Playing: Avalon - Testify To Love

All the colors of the rainbow
All of voices of the wind
Every dream that reaches out
That reaches out to find where love begins
Every word of every story
Every star in every sky
Every corner of creation lives to testify

For as long as I shall live I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences when words are not enough
With every breath I take I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live I will testify to love

From the mountains to the valleys
From the rivers to the sea
Every hand that reaches outEvery hand that reaches out to offer peace
Every simple act of mercy
Every step to kingdom come
All the Hope in every heart will speak what love has done

For as long as I shall live I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences when words are not enough
With every breath I take I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live I will testify to love


The emancipation of woman means the enslavement of man. or so the saying goes anw , people around me are working hard and i guess i shall start too! (maybe on 1st dec)

OTOT!

Outrageous TPYM Overnight Tour

16 nov 10pm - 17 nov 7am

ppl started gathering at the hall at around 10 plus and we had one small round of introduction.

and it was unto the bus and to fort canning where we were split into groups and had some intro by lawrence utama =.=

(: i entered green group where we had some kind of amazing race in a mysterious place looking for green lightsticks in the middle of the night =P.

yes, and lawrence utama gets his shot at fame. =.=

for supper , we had beef hor fun in geylang and headed off to another not-so-mysterious place known as raffles place where we had a questionare.

then off to jurong fishery port where we got to see many large fishes and i was lamenting on how i wanted to drag one home.

haha , this fish looks like Teresa!

and our last stop was at east coast where we got to watch the beautiful sunrise and eat breakfast.

hello beautiful sunrise.








Group photo, TPYM (:








and before we left off from east coast , we had a mini-worship and prayer.





well , overall OTOT was an exciting experience and i felt that we have been brought closer as one group under God's presence. There was really this feeling of family during this trip as we went all around singapore. After all , we are brother's and sister's in the lord's name (:





OH YES , throughout the trip , Teresa was HOGGING my cam throughout the entire trip and when i uploaded the pics , 1/2 of the photos all had her face inside.

Teresa - camwhore

bus ride

first-aid in-charge , haha
