When I am down
and, oh my soul, so weary
When troubles come
and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still
and wait here in the silence
Until you come
and sit awhile with me

You raise me up
so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up
to walk on stormy seas
I am strong
when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up
to more than I can be

You raise me up
so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up
to walk on stormy seas
I am strong
when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up
to more than I can be

You Raise Me Up

Waiting for My Rocket to Come
Jason Mraz

nice album. great singer with a beautiful voice. and my favourite albumart of all time.

its really really...relative. the background kinda looks like Cebu...or KL...somehow it just seems familiar.

and theres Mraz talking to a chicken.

results back yesterday. not exactly overjoyed...as with many people. i guess i did deserve the results i got...cus i didnt study for many subjects...at all...eh heh heh. but to those that actually did study...it must suck soo bad =(.

i guess i cant say its okayyy...cus this years probably a really crucial one for lots of us. but in all things and all outcomes God has had His way in our lives. What we achieve or where we go...its all in His will - His will for a better outcome in our lives. His will for His divine plan for us.

our exam results must have really heartbreaking effects on us. its only human to experience dissapointment and dissatisfaction. but in all things God has a lesson and a purpose...and to trust in Him and His motives is the best anyone could ever do.

a persons strength isnt measured by ones failures; rather whether one has the self-will and confidence to pick oneself up after one has fallen and continue believing and trusting God.

okayyy i just had to say that for those many who are feeling down. hope that helped a little =) and cheer up!! its post-exams...time to enjoy life for all those times this year youve worked so hard.

played Risk again for the past 2 days. aharharhar. i love that game.

okayyy...a song. from that album above.

a remedy.

Well I saw fireworks from the freeway
And behind closed eyes, I cannot make them go away
Cause you were born on the fourth of July, freedom ring
Well something on the surface it stinks
I said something on the surface
Well it kind of makes me nervous
To say that you deserve this
And what kind of God would serve this
We will cure this dirty old disease
Well if you've gots the poison, I've gots the remedy

Well I heard two men, talking on the radio
In a crossfire kind of new reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
Or they were counting down the ways to stab the brother in the
Be right back after this
The unavoidable kiss
With a minty fresh death-breath
Is sure to outlast this catastrophe
Dance with me
Cause if you’ve gots the poison, I've gots the remedy

The remedy
Is the experience
This is a dangerous liaison
I says the comedy
Is that it's serious
This is a strange enough new play on words
I said, the tragedy is how you're going to spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
When it all amounts to nothing in the end

I won't worry my life away
I won't worry my life away

When I fall in love
I take my time
There's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind
You can turn off the sun
But I'm still going to shine
And I'll tell you why

Because the remedy
Is the experience
This is a dangerous liaison
I says the comedy
Is that it's serious
This is a strange enough new play on words
I said, the tragedy is how you're going to spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
When it all amounts to nothing in the end

I won't worry my life away
I won't worry my life away

Won't worry my life away

The Remedy (I Won't Worry)
Jason Mraz
Waiting for My Rocket to Come

the feel-good formula.

and week 5 begins!!

PRAISE GOD

for seeing us through this time of examinations.

Jesus, You are our light in times of distress.

yeahhh. the exams are over. now over. have been over since wednesday. its kinda weird to wake up and feel a sense of guilt thats prodding you to go study...and then realise you dont have to study. weird and satisfying. the free life can be dull...and uneventful...but when i look back at the other alternative, its really something to be grateful for.

and people, stop stressing over the exam questions you think you got wrong. if you didnt, then good for you, were happy for you and your little marks more. if you did then just let it go; the exams are OVER and theres nothing you can do about it. sheesh. go enjoy life and stop thinking about stuff thats just gonna freak you out!!

its time to throw your brain out and waste your life away!!!!

spent the weekend on 100 plus chapters of one piece. yeahhh mangas for sad people. well as sad as manga gets, one piece has got to be one of the most un-sad ones there are. its really cool.

went to vivo with Joseph Barnabas JKoh Taisan and J Lee SW after the killer maths exam on wednesday. went for lunch, then JKoh had free tickets so we went to watch the nanny diaries. it was okayy...kinda weird in the beginning. and i think Greyer looks like James Morgan=)

ha.

went out with Kenneth and Yuan Ling Siva Pradeep JKoh Thierry and Kenneths friends on saturday. went for lunch and then watched mr woodcock. stupid movie. short movie. but a pretty okayy one. went to play pool. i suck so bad at pool. went for dinner at plaza sing and then to play basketball. i suck so bad at that too.

went to plaza sing again yesterday with Grace and Yan Lin after church. ate lunch at some thai place which sold hawker centre-like food and double the price. then we walked. and saw stuff. and walked. and saw stuff. and walked. there werent any good movies except alpha dog left to watch. alpha dog which seemed cool. alpha dog which plot sounds really cool. alpha dog with Justin Timberlake as Frankie.

alpha dog with the R21 rating. crud.

i cant wait for Stardust on november 1st. looks really good.

okayyyy song song song. the Goo Goo Dolls have pretty good albums.

Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you're not thinking about tomorrow
Cause you were the same as me
But on your knees

A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon
That was your womb

You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
What's the things they never showed you
That swallowed the light from the sun
Inside your room

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer

And there's no time left for losin'
When you stand they fall

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
All because I'm
Comin' down the years turn over
And angels fall without you there
And I'll go and lead you home and
All because I'm
All because I'm
And I'll become
What you became to me

Black Balloon
The Goo Goo Dolls
Dizzy Up the Girl

i really never knew them beyond Iris before this album.

but really theyre better than just that one song.

ohhhh
We're halfway there
whoa oh
Livin' on a Prayer!!

totally relevant now. except its more than halfway.

after 9 months of study...were finally at the tail end of our peril.

the fragrant taste of freedom wafting through the air...teasing us, captivating us, drawing us close to its alluring grasp.

the sunshine after the rain
the light at the end of the tunnel
the oasis in the desert
the flower at the edge of the cliff.

liberty. there go we.

thanks be to God for seeing us through these days!

i screwed up my iPod earphones doing the stupidest thing. sighh. thank God Jeremys passing me new ones.

now ive gotta save up for the LP concert tickets, a cap, christmas presents and earphones.

i fell asleep in the afternoon...and somehow my subconscious mind decided to send me a wake up call. at the most crucial time.

physics on wednesday. 6 chapters and you havent studied one of them.

lots of time. lemme sleep.

history tomorrow. 4 chapters and you havent studied 2 of them.

okayyy thats not so bad...if i cram tonight ill probably be able to handle the rest of
the...

maths on wednesday. 10+ chapters and you havent studied 3 of them.

...exams. okayyy its just 3...i can mug later.

lifesciences on tuesday. 9 CHAPTERS AND YOU HAVENT STUDIED ANY OF THEM!!!

...uh oh.

okayyy yeahh. my conscience is a powerful thing. time to study.

but just a song first...yeahh. its a really nice song from the OTH soundtrack. and the titles really relevant right now.

If you only once would let me
Only just one time
Then be happy with the consequence
With whatever's gonna happen tonight

Don't think we're not serious
When's it ever not?
The love we make is give and it's take
I'm game to play along

All I can say
I shouldn't say
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place while we still have time

All the best DJs are saving
Their slowest song for last
When the dance is through it's me and you
Come on, would it really be so bad?

The things we think might be the same
But I won't fight for more
It's just not me to wear it on my sleeve
Count on that for sure

All I can say
I shouldn't say
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place while we still have time
You wanna take a ride?
Get out of this place while we still have time
Yeah we still have time

Can't say I was never wrong
But some blame rests on you
Work and play they're never okay
To mix the way we do

All I can say
I shouldn't say
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place while we still have time
You wanna take a ride?
Get out of this place while we still have time
Yeah we still have time

Work
Jimmy Eat World
Futures

its a cool song.

okayyyy study time!!!

may God see you through the exams!!!
