Sweet and Sour

2007-01-14T21:01:00.000+08:00

Hello....in about 24 hours+ we will be boarding the plane. Anyway I just encountered so much fun and not so fun stuff today so I decided to write a post.

Firstly...I bought another CD...to date in the last 2 months I have bought 5? Underoath, Saosin, Senses Fail, Escape The Fate and just today I bought the Run Kid Run Cd. Its yet another awesome cd and I am glad I bought it.

Secondly after hunting all over for band shirts that fit me...or basically girls. Today we stumbled across a humble looking shop in a corner of Freo....and I bought a Underoath T shirt. Yep...i am proud of myself.

The not so good stuff would be terrible terrible cramps again...and lots of careless and silly stuff I should not have done or said.

So its been a mixture of sweet and sour...what can I say...I cant wait to get back home...actually I am really looking forward to inflight entertainment on the plane...oh well hope there aint no snakes. As for now wish me a safe flight home!

Cheers

Must Have Done Something Right

2007-01-13T20:13:00.000+08:00

Hey SU...this one goes out to you...You are the most awesome friend and I appreciate everything you have done. Really cant wait to see you. Anyway this post is dedicated to the most dedicated friend I have right now...cant wait to see you!
Thinking about you as you are thinking about me.

"Must Have Done Something Right" Relient K

[Verse 1]
We should get jerseys cause we make a great team
But yours would look better than mine, cause you're outta my league
And I know that it's so cliche to tell you that everyday
I spend with you is the new best day of my life
Everyone watching us just turns away with disgust
It's Jealously, they can see that we've got it going on

[Pre-chorus]
And I'm racking my brain for a new improved way
To let you know your more to me than what I know how to say
You're OK with the way this is going to be
This is going to be the best thing we've ever seen

[Chorus]
If anyone can make me a better person you could
All I gotta say is I musta done something good
I came along one day and you rearranged my life
All I gotta say is I musta done something right
I musta done something right

[Verse 2]
Maybe I'm just lucky cause it's hard to believe
Believe that somebody like you'd end up with someone like me
And I know that it's so cliche to talk about you this way
But I'll push all my inhibitions aside
It's so very obvious to everyone watching us
That we have got something real good going on

[Pre-chorus]
And I'm racking my brain for a new improved way
To let you know your more to me than what I know how to say
You're OK with the way this is going to be
This is going to be the best thing we've ever seen

[Chorus x3]
If anyone can make me a better person you could
All I gotta say is I musta done something good
I came along one day and you rearranged my life
All I gotta say is I musta done something right
I musta done something right

Something Special

2007-01-02T13:46:00.001+08:00

Happy Happy New Year....anyway hope everyone is doing great. Here is a song I wrote...I never really liked posting my stuff or whatvere here...but since is the new year...I am giving it an exception and posting it specially for people intersted to read it. If the lyrics sound sad or dark.,..dont worry cos I am doing fine...when I say me in the lyric it does not necessarily mean me myself...but me in different people's shoe. Yup...so have fun and comment if you like.

Verse 1a
The throbbing pain inside my brain, telling me somehow I must now change
Writing letters to shrink magnified pain
Only smudged ink hinted my true shame

Verse 1b
Silently you sat with painted sheets, telling me right now everything’s the same
I shut my eyes believing this lie
Truth being that we all must change
Truth being that we're running out of days

Verse2a
I miss the cheer and the guts to speak
This awful person I once spiked is me
My negative vibes are as strong as the waves...slowly beating crashing down on me

Verse2b
I am held captive, tied down by steel balls
The warden has somehow lost hope for me
This sentence isn’t helping since they didn’t draw the line
There’s no one to watch me as I started straying

Chorus
Lost inside this trance
I live days in a daze
Lend a hand so I can grab it
Zoom out so I see clearly
(I see a search party…searching for me)

2006-12-28T13:25:00.000+08:00

I realised i reached the 50th post on the last one! So anyway...i bought both cds and i am bored and miserable right now. tata

UNderoath-Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape

2006-11-27T22:40:00.000+08:00

I heard a voice through the discord"
Of a deluge of passersby.
I saw one gaze frozen in time
Watching me passing by.

I swear I'll know your face in the crowd,
And I'll hear your voice so loud
When you're whispering...

Hey unfaithful I will teach you
To be stronger, to be stronger.
Hey ungraceful I will teach you
To forgive one another.

Here's my kiss to betray
Desperate to brush the lips of grace.
Do you feel hollow when you think of how I've lied?

Oh sweet angel of mercy with your grace like the morning
Wrap your loving arms around me.
Oh sweet angel of mercy with your grace like the morning
Wrap your loving arms around me.

Hey unfaithful I will teach you
To be stronger, to be stronger.
Hey ungraceful I will teach you
To forgive one another.

Hey unloving

I will love you

Jesus I'm ready to come home.

Age, Growth and Decay

2006-11-20T10:21:00.000+08:00

I am sick of finding out how to solve age, growth and decay questions!!! So sick.

Besides that... right now I am gonna blog on stuff I learnt during my self bible reading time here. Hopefully this will then allow me to continue to read my bible. I must admit I havent been a really good kid. Its been ages since I actually sat down to listen to what God had to say to me. Yes I have talked to him a lot, all the time. I guess once in a while we have to evaluate our realationship with Christ, and from this recent "evaluation", I realised I have so much to say but i never stop to listen.

Quiet Time or bible reading does not mean you have to follow a book or a schedule. For some, it helps them if they do it that way or it motivates them to carry on. Different people, different ways, as long as you let God speak to you. For me, I love reading books of the bible over a certain period of time. No order, just at random. This time it will be Timothy 1.

Right now in my life, one of my influences is Underoath. This is what they said in an interview regarding their faith in Christ and the wrong idea people have abt Christianity. "In a lot of ways Christianity has given itself a bad name by being overly conservative (about the people ya hang out with) or browbeating. I feel that as Christians, our job is to hang out with everyone." At first, I was a bit skeptic about when they said, but since it tied in with what I read in 1 Timothy chpt 1 and 2 yesterday night I decided to share it with you all. On top of that, being surrounded by so many people with a bad misconception about Christianity thus choosing to disbelieve, it seems only too appropriate for me.

It was in Paul's letter to Timothy that he told him to warn against false Prophets and teachers. These teachers are those that waster time teaching wrong doctorines and argue constantly about what is right or wrong. As he said " These things only cause arguments, they dont help people live a life of faith in God." Following this he goes on to say about how laws were made by God not for those doing right, but for the sinners, the murderous, the ungodly, the sinful, the homosexuals, so on so forth. He also adds on about our worship and how women should make themselves attractie by the good things they do.

This 2 chapters really taught me so much. Firstly, we as Christians should not just stick in our comfort zone of Chhristian friends. Though it is good to share your problems and get them to pray for you, another aspect of Christianity is to go out and to befriend those who are searching or running away from the truth. You dont have to stuff the scriptures down someones throat, just let God work through you to touch these peoples lives and they will see. God will also give you the opportunity and right time to share his word. Right now I have met so many people who said the reason why they turn away from Christainity is due to being forced to believe without actually experiencing it. So why not we go out and show them the great joy and security we've found ever since we accepted Jesus into our lives.

Secondly, at times we all love to dress to impress. However, we must remember that God sees inner beauty. This has been said to me so many times and its getting annoying but its true. You may be the prettiest, but God looks at your heart, your thoughts and your actions. For me, this seems to be very motivational. If you get what I mean...cos, I might not be the best looking person, but in God's eyes, I still have some hope!!

All that I have said, I have not really done. But I hope that for those of you reading this, you try your best to do what you can and I will try my best to do what I can too. Its gonna be hard, but the reward is going to be worth it.

As Matt Theissen says -
If the burden seems too much to bear
Remember
the end will justify the pain it took to get us there

Underoath...can't get enough of it.

2006-11-13T09:41:00.000+08:00

Hey Guys, my exams begin today. So anyway, I just bought the limited edition Underoath CD yesterday. Well, if you never heard of Underoath and saw the lyrics on the side, you probably think they are a worship band and all. Firstly, they sing songs related to christian stuff, like relient k. However they are a screamo, metal sort of band, meaning they are really really loud. If you are the sort that dont like the sound of someone screaming in a song, or hate it when you cant really hear what the singer is singing, I suggest you listen to it at your own risk (best if ya just dont try at all)...just take in the lyrics and enjoy that...hmmm...I am making it sound bad, but its not really. At least I like it. Its just a different type of music a lot of people dont appreciate. Just like how I dont like mainstream music (stuff on radio), RnB, Top 40 radio stuff, or whatever. Right now, my mum is complaining ubout underoath cos she says it sounds like animals. Hahha.

Oh well. Hope you guys finish up your exams well and have fun this holidays. Gotta go get ready for my first paper this afternoon, see ya.

Underoath-A Love So Pure

Always did it on my own then one day I realized

I was blind, nothing I could do on my own

Turn, we have found a way to see, look up... feel the Almighty

Take control as we gaze into your eyes

We're just the tool you use to bring this world to you

Oh, Lord, how we love you

With your grace, take away the hurt and the bruises inside,

reach down let your glory reside

The cross carried for all of us, paint the image in my mind

So I will never think I am something,

but nothing am I but you, you are something

Lord you keep me alive, you give me rest at night

When there seems no way to find calmness in the storm you come and

take me in your arms and then the waves drown me no more

With you I'll last this battle and many others

Through the ages your name will reigh forever... never to be replaced

In these trials I face, I pray you humble me

Humble me I want to be like you Jesus more and more like you

I was crucified on that day with Christ

Nailing you there with sin, accepting you

I nailed my soul to the cross and now my life begins

This world so cold but your love keeps me warm

My father holds me in his nailed scarred hands which I put there

But for some reason he still loves me with all his heart

Even through I betray him constantly

He always keeps his arms open waiting, till I give up my old was

God my father, you are the only one that can give me comfort

You touch my heart in such a way that all I can do is cry your name

Jesus Christ I love you

My heart aches for your love

Exams in 2 weeks

2006-11-02T21:05:00.000+08:00

Hey....I guess I owe ya guys an apology. Havent been updating my blog in a long time. So i guess most of ya guys thought i was still missing ya guys so terribly and feeling miserable. Yes I still miss ya guys but I am getting more use to school and making more friends now. Its fun realy. Besides the fact I have exams in 2 weeks and I dont even know what pages to read.

Right now I made lots of new people that are heaps of fun. Its just that I guess at first people are really afraid to open up their cliques of friends and stuff. Especially the year 11 and year12. The cliques are so significant, so everyone is cautious about whos in which clique and who sits with who.

I have my really fun music friends and I might be going to one of their house this sunday to play (music). We are planning to start an all chicks band. (gonna be hilarious)But they really are not too bad...like the singer is heaps good. Might be going to this gathering at another one of their house on saturday noght. Not sure if mum will let me though. Cos the thing about this people is that mpst of them drink and get pissed, stuff like that. I dont wanna get drunk or wasted, so ya, not sure if I will go. But they are really nice people.

Last Sunday I went to another friends house. I think she is one of my only asian friend. Ya...I only know like 4 Asians?? The rest of them are Aussies, NZ, and even Germany...lots of various places. Anyway we had this lady from Thailand bring stuff over and I bought heaps of stuff. It was really fun.

So I hope this update lets ya guys know that even though I miss the times we shared, I am doing fine now. Love ya all and mail me when ya exams are over k!!

Cheers

P.S: Watching hillsongs united live tomorrow night at my church!! Feel Jealous Aye

emo(tional) moment

2006-10-21T19:14:00.000+08:00

she cries out for you
what do you do
who does he cry for
its far too late
you should have spend more time together
now he is gone
who is he missing
she feels a third of her leave
what does she do
she has no choice
its the only way for him
she waves goodbye
he tries not to cry
her heart is bursting
she doesnt see him going
if she could stop time
keep him captive
if he knew this was coming
maybe he would have done other things
but its too late,
time cant be rewind.

wellwell.
Last few tags before I have to start preparing for my exams. Blame it on the stupid Dean. I am not doing as well as I should be in school, but I am not too bothered by that.
So too all the people that I either admired or laugh at cos you have O levels, I guess its called retribution aye. Now I have to suffer too.
Gonna call in a short one now so see ya around some time soon.
I lost many precious kisses to stupid flies today, hope ya not jealous of the flies. If ya want ya can help me to kill them, you are most welcomed.

Cheers

P.S: Check out this bands Houston Calls and Anberlin, really rad!!

2006-10-16T18:38:00.000+08:00

Good on you all in Singapore taking your O levels now.

I am starting school tomorrow and I am doing my homework now. Smart of me I guess. I have so much to do now, but I guess you can only blame it on my lack of time management. i don't really seem to care that much anyway...so oh well. This is the point in time where we ask...How can you not care??

What I have done in the last 2 day (as in homework) is about 3 times...no make it 5 times more than what I did the whole holiday. Its usual of me I guess.

so you may be asking, what was i doing anyway. Waking up just before noon, eating breakfast at lunch, lunch at tea. When out with my mum over the weekends. Went to Madhavi's house for 2 days. Spend the rest of my time, kidding myself that I was actually getting stuff done. I dunno, what else. Oh and getting myself addicted to himynameismark podcasts. Seriously, it takes up so much of my time. Each one can last from 20 mins to even an hour. So as soon as I start, its addictive and I cant stop. I was so productive today, till I decided, 'Hey, why not take a break, listen to himynameismark.' Bad move. only stopped when it was dinner. I only managed to get through 5 pages of math from after lunch (tea) till dinner. this was with the podcast playing in my Ipod at the same time. Gosh, am I focused or what.

Lets see what else I have to get done tonight, or not bother trying.
-read the last 3 chapters of maths
-do the miscellaneous exercise for like...8 more chapters of maths and a exam paper(so not happening)
-phys ed essay. (doing it now...while I write this)
-lord of the flies(5 more chapters to go...each having 4 essay questions...do the math yourself)

Hey...thats actually it. Not too bad aye...save the LOTF pile and the math. (thats actually all I have)

So ya. Gotta go do it "ALL"...or at least whatever I can now. If I dont finish, its alright, I think...I reckon...I declare and conclude. Just had to remind myself I actually had work to do. So ttyl and good luck to all you (fill in the blanks) doing your O levels. You need more than that.

We Saw A Dolphin...and you didnt!

2006-10-11T18:40:00.000+08:00

Hello.

I went to Madhavi's house yesterday noght and I just came home like an hour or so ago. I am sorry Madhavi, I could not place any song to scare people away! I changed the video on the side though. Give me credit for that. Besides that, before I get stuff done, I am gonna search on Youtube for Taste of Chaos Videos. For the rest of you...heres a peek at what we did...

1. Walk to swan river...and we saw a dolphin...for real! Trust me...it was less than 5 metres away from us.

2. Listen to music non stop! Like for about 6 hours in total on my "wepod".

3. Study for a while...yup we did.

4. Talk...a lot! About all the things you would never think of.

So what have we accomplished...

1. I successfully converted Madhavi into another fanatic Relient K and Lostprophets fan!

2. We saw something you would not normally see in the Singapore River. Recap: we saw dolphins

3. We realised we love the same sort of music...like loud screamo, emo, depressing songs for some people, happy songs for us! Basically bands like (senses fail, red jumpsuit apparatus, underoath, from first to last, the used, and many more bands where you hear screaming and loud guitar riffs)

4. Arranged the ultimate band tour! The five bands included would be Relient K, Lostprophets, motion City Soundtrack, Paramore and All American Rejects. Not so loud bands-but our favourites for now!

5. Understand the complex infrastructure of the Graphics Calculator

6. Realise I have not much clue what I want to do with Life...therefore I have to take some job test later.

7. I know Madhavi is missing me...fine, maybe not me, but maybe my Ipod!! HAHA.

So now that I told ya what we did, dont get too jealous while you are mugging hard, cos right now, I am just about to start doing that!

Cheers

All Made-Up

2006-10-07T22:33:00.000+08:00

The film that cover your eyes
Hides you from seeing whats really happening
You dont see and you dont really care
You are satisfied with your fishbowl life

Hey there...well...nothing much to say really. Having school hols, catching up with work...mail me at exclaimationmarked@gmail.com if there is anything.

You crawl back into your shell
Ignoring is your idea of problem solving
They say if you cant beat them join them
But its tough to flow with the flow
If you know the dead-end's right ahead

Check out the Relient K song. Another awesome song. I just LOVE them so much! They are my influence and I am glad they acheived so much.

The more you make-up, the more you made up
A mask to hide, a split person behind
You're too afraid to show
What the world determined not right
Have you considered it a gimmick
Cosmetics companies needed
For them it was the starting
Of making-up some money

Check out this band The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. Really cool...my type of band...rock, punk??, emo, moderate screamo, and apparently Christians...no idea about that, but I love their song Guardian Angel and Face Down. Its a little soft mixed with loud! So if you dont really like someone screaming into your ears, I dont suggest you listen to Face down...or fake it...guardain angel is great though.

Signing off

Cheers

Any change could be a good change

2006-09-30T20:31:00.000+08:00

Should I change my blogskin?

I really love this one but I am not sure how ya change the alignment.
If you do know...please tag and tell me or just email me at exclaimationmarked@gmail.com

I deleted the other tagboard so now I only have one. This is not exclusive for music discussions!

While I am contemplating what I should do to recreate my blog, check out those videos on the left. The first one is like really stupid. I love this song, but then....the music video is wierd. So I thought I would show it here. The second one is a new song i heard. Thought its pretty cool so yup, its there. Both are by lostprophets. Will put up different ones by different bands when I feel like.

Right now I am just pondering...should I change my blogskin?

2 more days till I get internet at home!

2006-09-27T12:09:00.000+08:00

Hey Guys...miss you all so so badly. Everytime I see people in my school hanging out, I start thinking of you guys! I miss you all like crazy..all you people at school...at swimming, at church!! I miss you all like crap! I wish I could just export one of you guys over here! haha.
Anyway, I am at school now, having study period. In case you are interested to know, I am taking Chemistry, human Biology, Intro Calculus, english, Music in Society and physical Ed studies. Pretty cool ya...not! For chem, they learn stuff that we learn back home, but the emphasis are on very different stuff. Like we do ABS...and they have additional stuff to it cos its suppose to be pre-u studies. Something like that. so right now, I have the holidays, which is coming in 2 weeks, to catch up with everything. Human bio is very differnt from bio. A lot more interesting cos you dont have to study about plants and those shit, but its much more detailed and tough. Yup, it is. Intro calculus...lets see...I am so so screwed. They are doing the same stuff in singapore, just that you have to use a graphic calculator (the funny difficult ones) . For them it makes it easier, for me its worst. Its tougher than ever with the calculator cos it has so many buttons and functions..it freaks me out! English is like lit. basically...very identical...no compre and stuff but analyzing and all yup! Music is ok. I am doing Music! haha...its like guitar, drums and what nots...but of cos I am doing guitar. Phys ed is quite ok too. Its just scary at times playing with the guys! they are like super rough! Havent train my swimming in like 2 months. Will start one day!
Will tell ya more about people another time. haha...too lazy now..
So hows the exams treating you guys??
Missing you all so much!
Thanks for calling me Marge and Willy. My mum nearly killed me. COs like the phone rang and I was in my room, but the house has this crazy echo, and i think my mum heard. I was comtemplating if I should answer it and my bro was like, I 'll cover you. So I did. And like 5 seconds later my mum was like...'are you using your phone'...that was when I hanged up on you. I was like shit...'err, ya'...imagine the look on her face. Luckily she was not in too bad a mood so she allowed me too call you guys on her precious calling card for like 5 mins. Good to hear your voice. When I get my internet, I will talk to you guys by msn or something. Anyway, better not be too long, will tag on another time! thanks for the tagging. Makes me feel so much better knowing that people are around and they still remember me! Love Ya Guys

P.s: Please stop sending me freaky messages!! You know who you are. I received it today and well...shit it freaked me out! You know what I mean!

I have Landed

2006-09-12T17:02:00.000+08:00

Hey anybody who still bothers to check. I am so soory I haave not tagged in ages. I know, but its excusable ya!

Well, we have been really busy (...haha...yeah right) well sort of anyway. We are living in this temp accomodation provided by the nursing home now, so we intend to actually move nearer to the home and school. Problem being that, with house prices soaring (its almost like singapore now), renting has become terribly hard. Therefore the delay...again (now thats an understatement)! Renting here is not as easy as back home where you just say I ant it and YaY its your house. You actually have to go though some agents, who make you fill up all these crappy forms, place bonds and have a rental history, on top of which the owner will then choose who they want to rent it to. Sadly, We have been rejected twice and the other day, my mum placed another application but we later found out there were like 30 other applicants! So anyway, by Gods grace, we stumbled upon the papers on Sunday and found ths adverd for this house. We called the owner and she allowed us to view the house immediately, on top of that, she did not go through the same process of the agents and all. So thank God, we finally managed to get a house!! Though its not as amazing as some other houses we viewed...at least we have a roof and school!! haha...What do I mean by we have a school now...well, the system here is such that we have to get a house in the school boundary before we register. So all these times we have not been going to school, since we did not want to go to the school we were allowed to (school X), but now we are moving and we can go to a different school.

Right now I am at the library using the net...got 5 more mins left, will tell you more when the internet is set up at home. But briefly...we went to Margaret river, the pinnacles and some other cool places...really fun. Will tell ya more about theat soon!!

cheers

Hello Again

2006-08-16T11:54:00.000+08:00

G'day Mate...now its 16 degrees! I cant wait for spring. Anyway, I won't be going to school with Madhavi. Oh well...but I will be going to her birthday party soon, so I can send your regards to her. Besides that, we did a little bit of shopping today. Mango has like this 60% storewide sale. Bought this top and it was so cheap. Anyway, will shop more later. Right now I am just in the city and updating you guys about things here. Surprisingly its colder than Melbourne here. Will be going to this Church thing on Friday. Yup, we have found our church, basically, its an asian community and stuuf. So anyway there is this Adrenalin concert thing this friday night. Guy Sebastian, Youth Alive, and some other bands from New York and Queensland would be there. SO its goona be quite cool. Oh yeah, Australian Idol just started and I must say that they are so so so much better than the Singapore Idol contestants! I already have so many favourites! Besides that there are so many funny people. Like there was this girl who said this 'Hi. I am supposed to be in year 12, but I failed. I am in year 9 now!' That means (in Singapore context), I am in J2 but since I failed, I am now in secondary 3! Isnt that hilarious! Well, thats th end of this little update so tag more and I will try to update as much!

Cheers

Its ME!!

2006-08-14T12:34:00.000+08:00

Hey Guys.

Right now I am in the city, at Isabelle's Dad's office. So we have internet connection here for a while. Will only be getting internet connection later when everything else is pretty much settled.

Anyway, well, its pretty awesome here. Freezing at night...honestly, like it was 0degrees the other day, thnaks goodness we were not here yet.

We have like this food place right outside our house. There is like Subway, Hungry Jack;s, pizza hut, some giant supermarkets and this plaza.

I will be registering in Applecross Senior High School, the same school as Madhavi. Yup, just that I have to stay back one year.

ok...pretty busy now, so gotta go! have fun tagging

Last For A While

2006-08-10T20:02:00.001+08:00

Ok...So i wont be updating this for a while when i get to Perth, so I am gonna create like another tag board specially for this subject I wanna talk about! This is pretty random but, its gonna be kind of fun! (Aren't you just excited!) So if you are free...please tag it. This is to basically enable me to have more songs in my Ipod and not limit myself to the same old songs!Therefore this probably only benefits me, but just do it k! After all this blog was created to benefit me...muahaha!Here are the rules to this open forum...(haha..) ok!

A. You are supposed to tell me about some band/singer/song/whatever that you think is amazing and why so!
B. You can give your comments about other bands you don't like or can't stand whatever, but don't criticise someone else's taste of music cos that is the reason why they have different genres! (like duh)
C. Thats it. So to get the ball rolling, I am gonna list my top 20 bands today! Feel free to comment or suggest now ok! I mean it would take like 5 seconds only right>>1 thousand, 2 thousand, 3 thousand, 4 thousand, 5 thousand...see you are already done!

Just A Short Update

2006-08-07T16:13:00.000+08:00

Ok, the flight is at about 9 so we will go in around 8. So to all you amazingly kind people reading this, come before 8 ok!! Its at terminal 1. We will be taking Qantas flight QF72...i think, sudden mental block.

-the end of a short update-

When I see An Elephant Fly...i am just waiting for that day...

2006-08-03T21:20:00.000+08:00

I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band,
I saw a needle that winked its eye.
But I think I will have seen everything
When I see an elephant fly.

I saw a front porch swing, heard a diamond ring,
I saw a polka-dot railroad tie.
But I think I will have seen everything
when I see an elephant fly.

I seen a clothes horse, he r'ar up and buck
And they tell me that a man made a vegetable truck
I didn't see that, I only heard
But just to be sociable I'll take your word

I heard a fireside chat, I saw a baseball bat
And I just laughed till I thought I'd die
But I'd be done see'n about everything
when I see an elephant fly.

Just For Laughter Peace And Joy...something we all lack.
Taken from the Disney Soundtrack...Not that knee, but this knee ok.

The Worry Kicks In

2006-08-02T17:57:00.000+08:00

Ok. So now that we have gotten over the fact that Daniel is gay, I need some sort of a juice to quench my dying brain and I am not creating a superhero or villian, its down to some more important stuff.

So we will be leaving 12th August (next sat) in the morning, flights probably at 9. well. cant go out with anyone this weekend cos of family commitments. Now the worst part of this is its smack right in the middle of your prelims!! So i don't really expect anyone to come down when we go, but I hope to see you guys again before I leave.

There has been some other changes such as our accomodation and school (cos of the delay...duh), so yup, pretty lost about which school I am going to now, but whatever. Due to the delay(again)earlier this year, i think i have to stay back a year in school!! Whatever, do I really care. No. Now i will just be going the same speed as any normal Singapore kid stuck in this little red dot. At least I skipped the dreadful O levels.

I feel like over this wait i have began to learnt that life is not all about being the smartest kid in class and getting jealous when your friend gets higher. Its definitely not about winnng the gold medal in that swimming or cross country race and all the slogging out you put yourself through just to get your short moment of glory, before it vanishes again and you are left with a new season to work for. I guess I have finally discovered my real purpose in life, though it just seems so impossible.

I want to make a difference(sounds so Singaporean)in his plan to give us life after death instead of just sitting around saying I am saved and watch others pass by knowing that they might not know the real purpose of life. It just hurts the way people think christians put on a act of being 'so holy' and are like in a totally different world where they are nothing but conservative. I just wish I could let them know that Christians also have fun, and actually, have way much more fun knowing that they are free from expiry till God says its time for them to leave. It only gets better after that, imagine!

I know I am so protected in this environment where most of my friends know about Christ and do not discriminate against various religions. I just pray that I will find such amazing friends when I get to Aus.

(The Worry Begins To Kick In and Mentally, this verse runs through everyones mind "trust in the Lord...")

I am serious, its so cliche. You know...We need more than trust in times like this, we need a strong faith in him and his good favour upon us, and he will give this abundantly, so right now, I have nothing to fear!

Christine

P.S: Change of plans, free on saturday morning. So Shi You, I might be able to go out with you?.

Why must Daniel V. be gay....why!!!

2006-07-31T19:44:00.000+08:00

Hey. I am back. Ha...I kept to my word. Trust me...I am reliable.

well...havent really thought about my super character, except that its definite he or she will have the power of teleportation and teleconisis! haha... so thats a hint. Well...actually I think it should be a she. To prove that girls can do stuff guys can too! Ha

Sometimes I wonder if small hands are a gift or a (whats the word>) something like curse or defect....cant think of the word, but ya, you get what I mean. Hmmm....what do you think? Big or small hands?

I need creative juices! I need my cup or maybe my jug right now! I need it to be refreshing and different to quench my ever growing thirst for something new...please give me my cup somebody!

2006-07-31T18:02:00.000+08:00

Lets clear this up first...I am not makling a blog for attention unlike those freaks out there in cyber space. Ok...thats better.

Ok..its been ages since I last posted and well...this might just be longer to make up for that.

Well...the past week has been rather busy and eventful. Lets see...so we will definitely be leaving. probably mid-august or so. Thats not really confirmed, but yup, thats all I have for now. Well, I had shingles and had to take some medication and lets say it was not too bad but I dont want it again. I had a totally sleepless might due to the vit. pills that taste like nail polish and the 3 cups of coffee and 1 cup of tea. Well...have been making up that deficit over the last few days. Pretty excited abt the Aus thing but kind of scared though. Its like I am having this really mixed feelings, but I guess its only natural. We went for this New Creation worship on Friday and it was not too bad. Really enjoyed it. I dont think I will be going for FOP this year though. Kind of annoyed its not Delirious and Hillsongs...oh well.

I have the lostprophets CD liberation transmission and its so awesome. I only knew one song on it at first (rooftops) but now I love every one of them. its a little different form their old songs like burn burn, last summer, last train home and all that but I love it! They have really catchy guitar riffs and I love Ian Watkins voice!

Ok, so as you know I am supposed to be really busy now, but hey No...I am seriously lacking in the packing skills. So whatever, I decided to think and do random stuff. ok like now...I am gonna create this person that has like super cool powers, but instead of being a superhero that fights and saves the world "oh wee", he shall do cooler stuff! haha...bet you think I have something cool up my sleeve...well not really...haha. Gotta go eat dinner now. Will come back and figure it out. Promise.

C:

p.s.: promises are made to be broken

16!

2006-07-24T13:36:00.000+08:00

One more Day (to be exact about 11 hours?) till I will be Sixteen!!!

Happy Early Birthday Su Yee and Ian!!!

Fact Of The Moment

2006-07-19T09:30:00.000+08:00

OMGosh! Guess what I just found out!! Joe Trohman from FOB plays with Washburn guitars too!! Of course his is custom and high priced and all (The newest Idol Series, mine is the less known Rocker Series), but its the fact of the moment for me as I am sitting in my glass room waiting for work. Isn't that so cool. I never knew that, though it only makes sense since washburn is from Chicago and so are they. Will be downloading the podcast of them making his guitar as soon as I get home! (found all this from the washburn website).

OMGosh

6 Bucks for this!

2006-07-18T14:53:00.000+08:00

Ok...today is officially the best day at work. Finished my pile of crap at about 11 and they did not know what to give me. So basically while everyone was so busy, they were like, just go rest or something. So now its going to 3 and I have been resting since then! I am paid 6 bucks per hour to surf the net, take stupid quizzes, check out bands and update my blog! Isn't that awesome!

Hmmm...4 more days and this would be over.

Ok so let me tell you more about my NEWEST BABY!! My washburn WR150 guitar! Its like super sleek and awesome for a stunning price. Anyway I shan't bore you with the facts and all but let me give you a rough description. Will post the picture later on. Well...its metallic purple (did not have a choice on that)...it looks like something from Daisy Rock but way cooler for me! Its not something many would have the same as I do cos there are many different colours and not many people go for washburns. Its not too girlish and all but just fine! I love love love it! Besides that it plays well and the action and all fits me well. Only problem might be my pickups...but I think that is cos of my lousy amp. (lousy for a Laney...sufficient for practice though)

Well, there goes my paycheck!

Ok...this is for Eric:
-All relient k songs are awesome! Just mass download or buy the cd. (I am dying to get their new one)
-Fall Out Boy...I think they really split people's opinions. Like there's so much stuff about how everyone hates them and all, but there are the so many fans out there... like me! So as a supporter of FOB...I say just download all! haha. (I bought the limited ed cd and it rocks)
-Senses Fail...(did I tell you abt them already) ok...nice songs...Buried A Lie, Choke on This,Martini Kiss, Angela Baker and My Obsession, Let it enfold you...safe to just download any and like it.
-The Academy Is...Attention, Check Mark, Skeptics and True Believers, Slow Down, Down and Out are my favourite songs from them.
-The Starting Line...hmmm...I like Surprise Surprise, Best of Me and Bedroom Talk

I shan't ramble on about Blink182, Sum41 and all the rest unless ya want me too. So tag back k.

Work Life

2006-07-14T10:03:00.000+08:00

Ok...so whats my poison while I am working...lets see...

Cocktail Sausages..
MnMs..
Hot Water..
...and a never ending Ipod!!

...the delusions of a muddled brainwasher...

Relient K-more than useless
I feel like
I would like
To be somewhere else
Doing something that matters
And I'll admit here
While I sit here
My mind wastes away
And my doubts start to gather

What's the purpose?
It feels worthless
So unwanted like I've lost all my value
I can't find it
Not in the least bit
And I'm just scared
So scared that I'll fail You

Sometimes I think that I'm not any good at all
And sometimes I wonder why
Why I'm even here at all
But then You assure me
I'm a little more than useless
And when I think that I can't do this
You promise me that I'll get through this
And do something right
Do something right for once

So I say if I can't
Do something significant
I'll opt to leave most opportunities wasted
And nothing trivial
That life can give you will
Measure up to what might have replaced it
Too late, look
My date book
Is packed full of days that were empty and now gone
And I bet
That regret
Will prove to get me to improve in the long run

Sometimes I think that I'm not any good at all
And sometimes I wonder why
Why I'm even here at all
But then You assure me
I'm a little more than useless
And when I think that I can't do this
You promise me that I'll get through this
And do something right
Do something right for once

I'm a little more than useless
And I never knew I knew this
Was gonna be the day
Gonna be the day that I would do something right
Do something right for once

I noticed
I know this
Week is a symbol of how I use my time
Resent it
I spent it
Convincing myself
The world's doing just fine
Without me (without me)
Doing anything of any consequence
Without me (without me)
Showing any sign of ever making sense
Of my time
It's my life
And my right to use it like I should
Like He would
For the good
Of everything that I would ever know

I'm a little more than useless
And when I think that I can't do this
You promise me that I'll get through this
And do something right
Do something right for once

I'm a little more than useless
And I never knew I knew this
Was gonna be the day
Gonna be the day that I would do something right
Do something right for once

2006-07-13T16:14:00.000+08:00

Ok...let me share with you how i am feeling now...(look at song below)yes i am secretly using the internet...actually I am not sure if its allowed, but no one said anything abt not using it...what the..who cares...i hate work! So boring and my neck is killing me...the worst idea ever!!

"Slipping Away"

I'm slipping away
In every way
I can't stay awake
(and I don't know why)
I'm slipping away
(and I don't know why)

I'm trying to make it through each day
I'm falling apart now in every way
I'm finding it harder to get by
There's a hole in my heart
And I don't know why
Now I've come to realize

I'm slipping away

(sum 41)

2006-07-11T12:54:00.000+08:00

(presently siting in a glass room typing crap away till I discovered...they have internet)I don’t wanna work anymore. This was the s******* idea ever made by me. But this is the best solution to getting my guitar by myself! I wanna earn it you see... but this just tells me that when I grow up I am not going to be the kind of person that just sits at brown desk typing s*** away! I am not going to ever do this. Damn I am going to be someone better than this … I cant believe people would actually do this full time for their whole lives! Its like pure mental torture and I be people get into depression cos of this monotonous crap! I am just sitting here transferring crap from paper to computer! Its worst then doing manual labour, at least you getta do something different! This seriously is like the longest day ever! Its like when you have to sit through those crappy conventions and all! My head is spinning and my back is aching like crazy!! I am seriously going to quit if I can! What a freaking pity I cant! Now I know why its better to study! At least its challenging. This s*** is simple and boring like h*** man! Even the air-con cant cool me down. I am going into a state of depression and mild concussion! No wonder the word rebel exists! To go against all this crap that goes around us each day. Its either my brain is so twisted that I cant stand this stuff or this s*** has twisted everybody’s brain and now they surrender to its wrath for the rest of their short lived life!

p.s: Ignore Choice Of Words...just need to get it of my chest ! Too bad if you don't like what I said...

Intimidation

2006-07-09T20:38:00.000+08:00

Why do we feel so weak when we are with the strong?
Why do we feel so stupid when we are with the smart?
Why do we feel so embarrassed when we are with the confident?
Maybe its because it just highlights what we are not...

First day of work tomorrow...hope its not mundane.

C:

in my opinion...

2006-07-08T11:09:00.000+08:00

Hey.

I know you might not bother about what I am going to say, but I am still going to do so as I feel like.

I am quite sure many people like the same bands as I do and I know there are the odd many that dont...so now I am gonna give you so many good reasons why you should check out these bands!

Relient K
MUSIC WISE:Awesome! Good Alternative CCM and good guitars with an interesting mix of piano! I think I am going to buy the album even though I may have all their songs in my Ipod! On top of this, they have a great attitude!
LYRICS WISE: The best of all!Its like a clean version of Fall Out Boy!If you listen carefully, you would notice that the lyrics are filld with puns and are pretty funny!
Down In Flames-"Baby pacifists, we're throwing fits.We don't shake hands, we shake our fists."
The Only Thing Worse Than Beating A Dead Horse Is Betting On One-"Our problems seem so small, but they grow on us like gravity, but gravity still makes us fall"

Fall Out Boy
MUSIC WISE: The lead and rhythm guitars blend in well together. Pete is good with the bass, and the drum makes it even better! Its the kind that gets stuck in your head forever!
LYRICS WISE: A little...PG-13...if there is anything like that. Not for kids if you listen carefully. Hardly any profanities as compared to like Blink 182. Overall lyrics are interesting, creative and catchy! I think they are also pretty humble.
Sophomore Slump Or Comeback Of the Year-"The best part of "Believe" is the "Lie", I hope you sing along and you steal a line.I need to keep you like this in my mind. So give in or just give up."

Blink 182
MUSIC WISE: Catchy riffs and cool bass. You would think that there were more than just 3 of them.
LYRICS WISE: Except for the occasional mention of christianity, the lyrics are usually filled with profanities here and there, or they could have explicit content. Not something you would want to sing out loud in a church if you get what I mean. Ignoring the lyrics, they are amazing and its a pity they split!

Sum 41
MUSIC WISE: Very catchy and certain songs can be loud. There are still some softer songs like 'some say' and 'slipping away'.
LYRICS WISE: A lot about teenage anger, confusion and all! I like. Especially those about not wanting to "take part in the business man illusion" . Some of their songs can be a little pessimistic but I guess song writing is a way to let it all out and its understandable.
Motivation-"Motivation such an aggravation,Accusations don't know how to take them.Inspiration's getting hard to fake it.Concentration's never hard to break it.Situation never what you want it to be."

Jack's Mannequin
MUSIC WISE: Piano Rock kind of thing. It makes playing the piano sound much cooler than it already does.
LYRICS WISE: A lot about love and all. Its really well-written and crafted though!
Holiday From Real-"But if you left it up to me,everyday would be a holiday from real."

Arctic Monkeys
MUSIC WISE: The drum mixed with guitar intros are really cool and catchy.
LYRICS WISE: Another of those really catchy and funny lyrics with puns and all included.Can be a little sexual and vulgur though.
A Certain Romance-"And over there there's broken bones,There's only music, so that there's new ringtones. And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes to see it's a little different around here."

The Academy Is
MUSIC WISE: The whole band blends in very well together. There are fast and slow songs, but overall very interesting and will stick in your head.
LYRICS WISE: About relationships and other things. One of my favourite is 'Attention'. Very good song for many occasions!
Skeptics and True Believers-"Don't be so scared to take a second for reflection,to take a leave of absence to see what you're made of."

almost done...

Panic! at the Disco
MUSIC WISE: Almost like a alternate version of Fall Out Boy. The singer sounds like Patrick from FOB.
LYRIC WISE: Can be quite random but it will stick in your head and its quite funny to a certain extend. This was stuck in my head for really long...
I write sins not tragedies-"I'd chime in with a haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door? No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality"

Lost Prophets
MUSIC WISE: Just heard about them a while ago. A little like Click Five...like the louder more Rock version. Their songs are beyond amazing. The first time I heard rooftop, I reapeated it like 10 times. Its really good! I think they are a little anti-christianity or something though.
LYRICS WISE: So far seems fine. So far...

So aren't you glad I have been boring you! haha. Do i care?! Not really. I could go on and on forever...but my hands are sick of doing so.

In conclusion you can see I am not the kind that like hip hop,rap and Chinese or Korean songs, whatever they are. I pretty much like Punk, Rock, Poprock, Alternative Music, Christian Rock (oh I forgot...check out KUTLESS) and anything along that line.

She wishes for a premature birth...

2006-07-06T12:28:00.000+08:00

There was once this girl who was really bored and wanted to work. According to the law she was underage and could only work after her birthday. SO she was frustrated and did not think she could work anymore. Then one day this great opportunity stumbled across her to work at the place her Mum used to work. She was so excited and could not wait to start so she could save up her money and buy something she has wanted for so long. Now here is the catch, because she was underage she could only receive $x, when she was to receive $Y. The job was to be Z weeks long, and the money earned, though better than nothing was not sufficient. The worst was that, after that Z amount of weeks, it would be her birthday the following week!! Can you imagine her disappointment. Thus she now wishes she had a prematured birth...

blank

2006-07-03T16:43:00.003+08:00

hey guys...if you read my last shout out you can just ignore it! haha...i was seriously a bit confused then.

I guess I cant help it if my brain aint functioning the way its supposed to be. Its seriously messed up and I am intending to seek treatment soon.

Oh yes...Happy Youth Day to all the young people out there.

15 feels so young but 16 feels like years years older...argh...i'm getting old! Thanks for reminding me Ian. Just a gentle remineder...you are getting old too!!! Muahaha

Random Stuff and Relient K

2006-07-02T12:58:00.000+08:00

Ok...so this is about random stuff...so lets see...

IF you are tagging my blog, please leave your name or something, its getting quite confusing. Just identify yourself so at least i know what you are talking about. Ok so see, here's what I was thinking about earlier and this is the reason why I am geting on your case. I just found out that people are actually reading my blog.. YAY!?? I dunno...this only means that I can't write certain things? I am not sure...I started my blog so that I had an avenue to write what I am really feeling, and now I feel that it is threatened by the fact that so many are reading, thus I have to be a little conscious...(WAIT>>ok, I am probably scaring all of you off from reading and tagging...so listen to what else I have to say first k...) So as i was saying, i was thinking about it and I concluded that many people now adays tend to say stuff and do things and yet not want to admit that it was them...thus the origin of the word anonymous (not referring to anyone)...well, so the point is why can't we all just stick to what we say and not be afraid that others might ditched our ideas or make fun of us! I hope you get what I mean...I kind of lost my point so whatever...just leave your names k!
Ok, why I don't go online as ask by someone...hmmm, lets see...I just find it kind of boring, I dunno. I find it funny too cos people leave expressions like 'haha' and all those funny faces to show what they are feeling as they talk and its just queer when you imagine that face on your friend...I told you I was talking about random stuff today, I don't even get what I mean!
Ok...This Relient K song high of 75 is awesome. I guess they have once again suceeded in mixing an extremely catchy tune with addictive lyrics!

I am losing foucs so i think will carry on with a new post sometime later today or tomorrow cos I know there are some things I need to say, just that I cant seem to remember now...Cheers

The weight is a gift-nada surf

2006-06-27T16:42:00.000+08:00

Ok...so nada surf has this album titled The Weight is a gift. When I first heard it i was thinking of it as The "WAIT" is a gift. That seemed more relevant in my case. So anyway, here's what I am driving at. Though I may hate the whole delay and wait, I guess, God has a plan and a purpose and there is a reason why we have to wait for so long. Besides what cant kill you only makes you stronger! Yes...just a short entry today. Nothing much to say...I have been reading this book I borrowed from the Library-high defination life by Luis Palau. Its quite interesting and I will talk more about it when I am done reading. As for now, I am gonna leave with a quote based on fame. This quote is from Mark Twain and it goes like this "fame is a vapour; popularity an accident; the only earthly certainty is oblivian."
Cheers C:

Apologies that goes beyond the words below

hello...ok...this is really hard to say, but i owe many people apologies. Firstly, there would be Xin, i totally forgot her birthday...(yes yes, call me a sucky friend...whatever, I will never forgive myself either) Then there is Yi Hui who's birthday was a while back too and I told myself I had to remember...but as usual I forget...after when I recalled, liked days later...I did not message her as I felt really bad...but I guess what I did was worst...oh well...I am not that good at making decisions. Anyway...there is more. I guess I havent been a great friend to any of you guys really. Like all of you are stressing out with your o levels while here am I slacking at home. Yes...spending all these good quality time doing nothing..(doesn't that sound like a better deal...in my perspective...No!)....well, so I guess I should be the one to keep our friendships alive...however...no...maybe its the excuse I always give myself that you guys are probably busy and have no time to talk or whatever meet up, something, or maybe its just the fear of finding out how far I have drifted from you all in just this few months.

At times I feel so alone...after thiswhole big news that we are moving...everything has been anything but sure and I just don't know what to expect. Sometimes I find that the longer I stay here...the further away I feel from everyone,even myself, but I guess no one really understand how I am feeling now...(think I should change the subject)

Ok...back to apologies...lets see...ok...this is for someone...you know who you are E. I know I have been really mean and all you have ever been is supportive so I am terribly sorry for being such a 'whatever you wanna call it'...(like fill in the blanks). I know sorry isnt really something that will take back the way I acted and I feel so regretful but I hope you understand how I feel. On top of that, thanks for being so understanding and unselfish towards me. You are a great friend.

Another apology to a friend I use to speak too practically everyday, now I haven't talked to you in lets see...far too long. Well...I know you and I have the same problems and you probably understand me the most, but I am sorry I have not been able to lend you a shoulder to cry on and be your listening ear. Besides that, I guess you are going through a lot more than me and after we shared our "big secrets" (understatement of the year) I feel some sort of responsibility towards you and now I feel so terrible that we have not spoken in a long long time. I guess its my fault and I hope we could still go back to the times we were so close. I guess its almost impossible and you probably dont even come here cos you are so busy, but I just have to say what I feel inside...and now my conscience is bugging me to message you...will do tmr since tonight you are probably busy with work before school starts...or maybe its just me making an excuse, I dunno.

Ok...I really know there are more apologies but I just feel so depressed when I think about all of it. So to sum it all up, I know i have done a lot of people wrong and I am so so sorry, hope you will forgive me, though I guess its reasonable if you don't want too. This sorry should be more than this words and I promised I will try from now onwards. love you

Hey guys...so here comes some happier thoughts...lets see...i went to the zoo yesterday...i know...you are probably thinking 'what's she thinking'...well...i was skeptical about it at first but, I am glad I went. You see, my aunt had free tickets for eight, so i went with my bros, my mum, my 2 aunts, my cousin and my nephew. Well...I havent ben to the zoo in like how many years...i dunno...eons ago. Anyway, it was really really fun and we spent almost the whole day there! hahaha...lets se what are my top 10 favourite animals...

10) Penguins-they are so so cute
9) Camels-they look so under nourished, I feel so sad for them
8) Sea Lions-so smart and entertaining!!
7) Elephants-so large yet so gentle...and they have this amazing balance
6) All the monkeys-there were so many I got sicked of them after a while, but they are really smart anyway...
5) Zebra-its stripes are so pretty and it looks like a nicer version of horses
4) Cheetah-it is so pretty and can run so fast...I wish...
3) Lion-it looks so grand and reminds me of Aslan from Narnia
2) Otter- they are so smart and adorable...esp the one they used during the show!
1) Sun Bear-it is the cutest of all animals and it looks so cuddly...but I bet if you get near it might just whack you or something!

haha...so here is my list and I recommend you go to the zoo sometime with your family or friends...oh and bring a small kid along...it makes it a whole lot more exciting!...here are some pictures of my nephew(ashton) and some animals...cheers!

Well...this is bad...the whole Australia thing is really going from bad to worst that even the agency might just decide in changing the posting, I dunno really. Whatever it is I am leaving it to God. I dunno, its just really annoying and I cant believe this is happening. Oh well...now I don't even feel like going to Perth and all after the way they sort of treated us. Let me explain...the IELTS required was a 7 for the four catogeries (reading, listening, speaking and writing) According to the Bristish council, to get two 7.5, one 6 and another 8!! The overall score was 7.5. Yet just becaused for one catogary she missed by 1 grade, we were not even given a chance. Though they said we could appeal, they later replied that they could not give any preferencial treatment!! I mean...if you did not want to give us any 'preferencial treatment', then why ask us to appeal and act so pathetic in the first place! Urgh...there is so much more but I just know I will get angrier i I write it down...but gosh...its so frustrating and nerve wrecking. ok ok...happier stuff will come next time...promise!

Ignore this...I am rambling

Ok...so I just came back from training. Was supposed to go watch a movie but oh well, it got cancelled. Anyway, I am feeling so tired after having to train so early today. Not that training was tough, but cos I did not sleep well again. Colin woke me up like in the middle of the night when he went to the toilet and he said that I started sleep laughing. haha...Nothing much else to do or say except that I need rest and sleep and I think I am gonna skip afternoon traning today. If not, by this Sunday's Competition I will be so burnt out. K...gonna watch music videos and stuff now...ciao

Extra wierd Dreams...

2006-06-15T10:49:00.000+08:00

hey there...well, so i woke up at 7.15 today cos we had to do some sort of chain prayer thing. so anyway I am exhausted. As usual I went to bed at 11.30 and only slept around 1.30...this is getting so routined I shall not talk about it now. Its like my body is getting use to this routine!
Anyway, I had this dream last night for like the 2nd time and it made me realised so many things. Well, the dream was someting like that, there were like 3 or 4 parties and my friends and I from school were stuck in between some war. I had no idea why we were involved but all i know is that we were the innocent party who had to hide. I seriously don't know how this came about. Anyway, after like running arnd freaking out and hiding for like forever under this really redundant thingys...(to me they felt like those stuff you see in skateboarding parks, but totally out of place...)well, anyway, after like super long time, we were finally free! However as you remembered I had no idea why we were there to begin with, but I knew we were kind of stranded. It was probably a school trip to I have no idea where. It was scary and like so many people died. So when I came out from hiding I went around looking for people and I met up with like teri, claire and some other sec 4 prefects. We decided to go to this clean river to bathe..(haha...) we thought we were the onlyones. Then we saw Hannah N and we were so overjoyed. Hannah said that the rest were somewhere back where she was from, so we started asking her if we knew where blah blah blah was. I remember so clearly asking if she had seen Fong and Shu and she said no. Then all of us started freaking and started realizing how we missed all the rest. Then, a certain teacher appeared to tell us to call our parents. Just at that moment my mum woke me...haha...
Well, morale of the story is to treasure your friends while you still have them before its too late. I was just wondering, i know God speaks to people through dreams at times but, how does dreams come about(cos some are really random), and does God control them? These are super thought provoking so ya, any ideas??

What can i say...they said NO again. They referring to Perth. Now we have to wait for the Melbourne Board meeting tmr. Please Lord shower your supernatural favour on us! I am so so frustrated and annoyed!
Argh...I went to bed at like 12 last night after updating my blog. I listened to my Ipod till like 1.40am cos I just kept thinking of random stuff. I think I slept at 2am. Its so frustrating. My whole body is not working fine now and my whole system feels like is going haywire and gonna crash. I have training later and I am feeling so tired. Given up on studying already...Only did like 4 math questions and my brain is dead! This whole thing is taking a huge toll on me in every aspect. I need sleep!!! Gosh, this is so so annoying. I am like complaining to myself and no one really cares. No one really understand what I am going through now...everyone thinks I am having the time of my life and I have to act like I am...dang...I am sick of being someone I am not...I better stop blabbering on and on...but all I am asking now is for you Lord to show your supernatural favour and guide us!!

:c :C :c

I promise to update!

2006-06-13T22:46:00.000+08:00

Hi there...i am promising myself that from now onwards i am gonna update my blog like once in 2 to 3 days! so yes...i must! Besides that...well life for me is pretty boring now...the only place i really ever go to is training. Besides that, i wld just be at home surfing the net, strumming my guitar or watching TV. People might think its really fun but honestly its not! It really sucks that you don't really know what is gonna happen to ya in like the next month or something! I don't know, i mean only if you are in my position will you know how it feels like. Its scary how all this happened so fast but I am glad it did. Not that i want to skip exams and all cos when i get there things will be just as tough, but this break has been good. For once i am so free, instead of running around aimlessly all day, not giving any time to Him.

Besides that, I am still like so frustrated and annoyed by the people on the other side. All they have to say is NO and we have to go throught the whole mind draining process once again! Its slowly killing me! I really want to just go over there and start things proper...my school, my sports, my music, whatever...anything I enjoy, but now all we can do is wait. Its really hard to just trust fully in Him sometimes, like you want to but you just can't. Maybe its cos we always rely on our ownselves thus we don't see him work...i really don't know. All i can say is that i am confused! There are so many things I either wanna do but i keep feeling like I can't or should not and there are those things staring at me right at my face but I just don't wanna do it! Its really hard to explain...but i just gotta get it of my chest!

Its like 11 now and I don't know why i am feeling tired...i usually only sleep at one though i have like nothing to do. I would like lie in bed for an hour or two listening to music or thinking about so many things. After which, when i feel like sleeping its probably around one or two and i take another half an hour! Its really wierd considering I have nothing to do. I mean its fine if I am schooling and studying and all, but...at the state I am in, its just not normal! I don't know which part of me is normal now anyway...gosh this is depressing me further, shall continue another time! This was supposed to be a short post on my promise to update...but oh well...just ignore this rantings if you are busy...but I guess if you have reached here it's a little too late to say that ya...well, whatever...but since you are so free to even read this (I figure I am probably talking to myself again) i suggest you go check out this artist-fall out boy..all their songs are like stuck in my head and they make me feel much better...like I don't feel so down and delirious when I am listening...so Yup!!

Last piece of advice...don't think so much!

Hello
