i feel a stomachache coming again. shouldnt have eaten those cup noodles AGAIN.

why do i never learn?? haha.

okay. went for the mission briefing by Sally today in church...and now i really really really REALLY wanna go!! especially when they mentioned snorkelling. and a flight at 1am!! ahhh!!! Gavins gonna talk to Ewan and convince her that a christian mission trip is more crucial than singing in the mountains. plus its not like the tenors need me...i dont blend. CEBU PHILIPPINES!!! i wanna go!! to do Gods work, to experience missions first hand and be touched by His love for those kids.

and Gavin knows Dr Ong personally. how cool is that!!

Hey girl you know you drive me crazy
One look puts the rhythm in my hand
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down
Cover up with make up in the mirror
tell yourself it's never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he
loves you

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever you will surely drown
I see what's going down
I see the way you go and
say your right again
say your right again
heed my lecture

Do you feel like a man
when you push her around?
Do you feel better now
as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend
one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down
a new life she has found

Face down in the dirt
she says this doesn't hurt
She says
I finally had enough
Face down in the dirt
she says this doesn't hurt
She says
I finally had enough

One day
she will
tell you
that she has had enough
its coming round again.

Do you feel like a man
when you push her around?
Do you feel better now
as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend
one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down
a new life she has found

Face down in the dirt
she says this doesn't hurt
She says
I finally had enough

day 4 of the hunger strike

...and i still dont look like ive lost weight.

12 days to common tests. i havent really been cramming much, so i guess its time to start now.


and its good that you realise what youve done.

...if thats what you meant.

but no, im not pissed cus ive been offended. im pissed cus others are. i mean, what have they really done to you? theyre stereotypical guys. stereotypical guys arent exactly dead gentle. but that doesnt mean theyre barbaric. neither does that give you the right to call them that. whatever they say isnt really much more than a joke. no one really wants to offend anyone. SANGUINITY. they really really mean no harm. everytime you go 'cant you take a joke??'...dont you realise its your turn to take that joke too? theyre not barbarians. just human beings with a different personality than your melancholic-choleric one. havent you told people to be more open minded? practise what you preach and just realise that everything will be fine if you just open your eyes and see the other sides of these people. youll see kindness, friendliness and gentleness on a totally different level. but if you continue to just see that one side, then thats all theyll ever show you.

right. preaching over.

Ridin' in the drop top with the top down
Saw you switchin' lanes girl
Pull up to the red light, lookin' right
Come here, let me get your name girl
Tell me where you from, what you do, what you like
Let me pick your brain girl
And tell me how they got that pretty little face on that pretty little frame girl
But let me show you 'round, let me take you out
Bet you we could we could have some fun girl
Cus we can do it fast, slow, whichever way you wanna run girl
But let me buy you drinks, better yet rings
Do it how you want it done girl
And who would've thought that you could be the one

Come on and lemme show you 'round
let me take you out, bet you we could have some fun girl
Cus we can dress it up, we can dress it down
any way you want it done girl
Or we can stay home, talkin' on the phone
rappin' 'til we see the sun girl
Do what I gotta do, just gotta show you that I'm the one girl
Well I'mma freak you right, each and every night
I know how to do it insane girl
Cus I can make it hot, make it stop
make you wanna say my name girl
Come on baby please cus I'm on my knees
can't get you off my brain girl
But who would've thought that you could be the one

cus I
I can't wait to fall in love with you
You can't wait to fall in love with me
This just can't be summer love, you'll see
This just can't be summer love
LOVE

The summer's over for the both of us
but that doesn't mean we should give up on love
You're the one I've been thinking of
and I knew the day I met you you'd be the one

I can't wait to fall in love with you
You can't wait to fall in love with me
This just can't be summer love, you'll see
This just can't be summer love
LOVE
cus I can't wait to fall in love with you
You can't wait to fall in love with me
This just can't be summer love, you'll see
This just can't be summer love
LOVE

Breathe in for luck,breathe in so deep,
this air is blessed, you share with me.
This night is wild, so calm and dull,
these hearts they race, from self control.
Your legs are smooth,as they graze mine,
we're doing fine,we're doing nothing at all

The words are hushed, lets not get busted
just lay entwined here, undiscovered
Safe in here from all the stupid questions
"hey did you get some?"
Man that is so dumb
Stay quiet, stay near
stay close they can't hear
so we can get some

My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me
So won't you kill me?
so I die happy
My heart is yours to fill or burst
to break or bury
or wear as jewelery,
hich ever you prefer

Hands down
this is the best day I can ever remember
I'll always remember
the sound of the stereo
the dim of the soft lights
the scent of your hair
that you twirled in your fingers
and the time on the clock
when we realized it's so late
and this walk that we shared together
The streets were wet
and the gate was locked
so I jumped it
and I let you in
And you stood at your door
with your hands on my waist
and you kissed me like you meant it
And I knew
that you meant it
that you meant it
that you meant it

and I knew
that you meant it
that you meant it

Hands Down
Dashboard Confessional
So Impossible

yeah!! love them.

new blogskin!! i kinda like this one.

okay...post-SYF maths is done at last!! ...now ive gotta do history...

Genting trip clashes with the mission trip!! darn...hope they shift back the trip a little, or i cant go...and if i cant go for this one, i probably wont go for any this year...so i need to go!!! God will make a way.

about 2 more weeks to the common test...time to stop sleeping in class and listen a little...

oh yeah...ive switched from radioblog to imeem!! imeem rocks!!

Why
do you always do this to me?
Why
couldn't you just see through me?
How come
you act like this, like you just don't care at all?
Do you expect me to believe
I was the only one to fall?

Hey
listen to what we're not saying
Let's play
a different game than what we're playing
Try
to look at me and really see my heart
Do you expect me to believe
I'm gonna let us fall apart?

I can feel, I can feel you near me
even when you're far away
I can feel, I can feel you baby
why?

It's not supposed to feel this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Tell me
are you and me still together?
Tell me
you think we could last forever?
Tell me
why?

So go and think about
whatever you need to think about
Go on and dream about whatever you need to dream about
And come back to me when you know just how you feel
you feel

I can feel, I can feel you near me
even though you're far away
I can feel, I can feel you baby
why?

It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Tell me
are you and me still together?
Tell me
do you think we could last forever?
Tell me
why?

Why

Complicated B-side

this was the first song i actually wanted to feature here...but radioblog didnt have it!!

its really lovely, for some reason...

Everyone, everyone
suddenly burst out singing
And I was filled with such delight
I was filled with such delight

Delight
Delight
Delight
Delight

As prisoned birds must find, in freedom
winging wildly
Across the white orchards
and dark green dark green fields

on on on
on on on
on on on on on
and out of sight
and out of sight
out of sight
out of sight

Everyone, everyone
everyone's voice was suddenly lifted
And beauty came like the setting sun
beauty came like the setting sun
sun
sun

My heart was shaken with tears
and horror drifted away
My heart was shaken with tears
and horror drifted away
oh but

Everyone was a bird, and the song was wordless
the singing will never be, never be done
Everyone was a bird, and the song was wordless
the singing will never be, never be
never be done

Everyone Sang

2007 Secondary school level choral set piece

Silver. just sucks. but i guess it was stupid just to cry and wallow in self-pity.

thanks to Kenneth, Clement, Stuart, Ben, my choir friends, Grace and Vanessa for trying to talk me out of that.

come 2009 we'll just have to work hard. HARD. we've fallen now but there is no way that Gold with honours will slip through our fingers next SYF. I'm gonna make sure of it, even if im gonna have to sleep in school to rehearse. even if demerit points pile up from unfinished work. even if no one else in this school believes we can do it, we will.

ACSI choir. let NOTHING stand in our way of the Gold with honours in 2009. however crappy the set piece may be, however untrained our singers may be, however unshakable out competition may seem. we will overcome it as a choir. let those tears that streamed down out faces today be out stepping stones to victory.

The Best is Yet to Kam. haha.

SYF in 6 days!!

okay since everyones in a competition mood with sports competitions, OM or SYF and freaking out now, ill share something i heard last year.

before the first performance of Haven last year, Wong Ping Loong gathered the cast, chorus, and orchestra in this room and told us this story:

there was a master violinist, who had begun playing his violin since he was 5. he went through a very strict training regime to achieve the popularity he now enjoyed. his career had been extensive, and now, just before he retired, he decided to give one last magnificent concert.

the audience was hushed in the performance hall, all waiting and anticipating the violinist to play. and then he began. from the instrument flowed a melody so sweet and soothing that the audience was captivated. they hung on to every chord, every note, sanctified by that beautiful song. and when at last it ended, there was a thunderous applause. the violinist bowed.

then he picked up his bow and played that magical piece once more. the effect was once again magical. the applause was tremendous. the violinist bowed.

then he played it again. the same piece. the audience still enjoyed it, but not as much as when it was first played. they applauded. he bowed.

then he played it again. the audience applauded. he bowed.

and he played it again. the audience applauded. he bowed.

again and again, he played that same piece. the audience grew restless. one by one, they slowly made their way out of the exit. still he continued to play.

when the song was played for the 9th time, there was no one left in that concert hall. everyone had grown weary of that beautiful composition.

no one left...save for one bent old man.

as the resonance of that last note died away, the violinist bowed. he looked straight at that old man.

slowly, that old man raised his hands and clapped. a smile shone on his face.

the violinist fell to his knees and tears streamed down his face. he dropped his bow and bowed his head as the old man continued to clap.

everyone in that room who had come to watch him was treated to an unforgettable piece, but only that old man mattered to him. that old man was the tutor of that master violinist. that old man had guided him step by step as he learnt how to play that instument. and when his career started, that old man suddenly broke contact with him. for years that violinist had played to appease the public, but at his last performance he wasnt playing for strangers. he wasnt playing to show others how good he was. he was playing for the approval of his master.

...it went something like that, anyway.

basically, it means that through all the hassle and pressure competitions weigh on you, always remember that on the performance day dont perform just to show off. to tell others how good you are. perform for your master, whos guided you step by step through your journey in life, whos never left you even when you felt like giving up. all those expectations arent all that meaningful compared to who youre performing for.

perform for God.


hope that encouraged you...dont give up!! =)

SYF in 4 rehearsals time!! freaking out now!!

theres still dynamics, and tone, and even pitch for some hopeless newcomers!!! gold with honours seems impossible...

but we have to do it. and we will. somehow.

and besides, SYFs a great excuse for not doing my maths homework.


okay...once SYF is done, ill be dead cus i owe:
-maths file
-4 maths worksheets
-geog file
-history file
-art designs
-reading bytes?

and lots more i probably forgot...yes, my fate is sealed. detention.

diet doesnt seem so hard after one day...all i have to do is drink water...

I think you can do much better than me
after all the lies I made you believe
Guilt kicks in and I start to see
the edge of the bed where your nightgown used to be
I told myself I wouldn't miss you
but I remembered
What it feels like beside you

While looking through your old box of notes
I found those pictures I took that you were looking for
If there's one memory I don't want to lose
that time at the mall, you and me in the dressing room
I told myself I won't miss you
but I remembered
What it feels like beside you

The bed I'm lying in is getting colder
wish I never would've said it's over
And I can't pretend
That I won't think about you when I'm older
cus we never really had our closure
This can't be the end

I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

Better Than Me

it is Easter sunday!!! our God lives!!

A-maize-ing Asia yesterday was pretty fun...with that stupid chicken dance. a camp would definately have been more effective, but yeah, it was pretty great. and the skit was pretty cool...didnt expect Kevin to be Jesus...

this weekend had been pretty great...well back to reality.

okay...itll be miraculous if i get sleep tonight...sigh

oh yeah...ive been emo-free for 2 weeks!!! or was it 3...?


Oh Lord You've searched me
You know my ways
Even when I fail You
I know You love me

Your holy presense
surrounding me
In every season
I know You love me
I know You love me

You go before me
You shield my way
Your hand upholds me
I know You love me

At the cross I bow my knee
where Your blood was shed for me
There's no greater love than this
You have overcome the grave
glory fills the highest place
What can separate me now?

And when the earth fades
falls from my eyes
and You stand before me
I know You love me
I know You love me

At the cross I bow my knee
where Your blood was shed for me
There's no greater love than this
You have overcome the grave
glory fills the highest place
What can separate me now?


You tore the veil
You made a way
when You said that it is done
You tore the veil
You made a way
when You said that it is done

tarzan is handsome, tarzan is strong!!
he is so cute and his hair is long!!
tarzan is handsome tarzan is strong!!
so listen to the jungle song!!

haha...just cant forget that song. its really old, but its so stupid its unforgettable.

go cheetah! get banana! hey monkey! get funky!


the good friday service today was pretty touching...especially the part where they showed that bit from the Passion of Christ. the crucifixion was so freaky i couldnt watch...like that bit where they tightened Jesus' hand until it swelled before they perforated it with that nail...gory. and that bit where pastor Joel went 'he was crucified for you. YOU should have been up there' or something like that really struck me...i never saw it that way. He didnt just die for our sins...Jesus died for us and took the punishment that we so rightly deserve. imagine what Hes spared you...the pain and agony, the whipping, the piercing, the humiliation and mockery, the torture, the suffocation...and He didnt have to go through it. He CHOSE to suffer for us.

should we just let His death on the cross go to vain? should we, with each sin, drive those nails deeper into his palms and feet...?

that song were gonna sing tomorrow for the methodist walk goes like this...

King of my life, I crown Thee now
Thy shalt Thy glory be
Lest I forget Thy thorn-crowned brow
lead me to Calvary

Lest I forget Gethsemane
Lest I forget thine agony
Lest I forget thy love for me
Lead me to Calvary

...or something like that, anyway. havent really memorised it. but it carries a really important message nontheless.

Thank You for the cross, Lord
Thank You for the price, You paid
bearing all my sin and shame
in love You came
and gave Amazing Grace

Thank You for this love, Lord
Thank You for the nail-pierced hands
wash me in your cleansing flow
now all I know
Your forgiveness and embrace

Worthy is the Lamb
Seated on the throne
Crown You now with many crowns
You reign victorious
High and lifted up
Jesus son of God
The Darling of heaven crucified
Worthy is the Lamb

Worthy is the Lamb
Hillsongs (ft. Delirious)

His body, given for you and for many
His blood, poured out for you and for many
