Late post...but here it is...

Massive quake hits northeastern Japan

A massive earthquake and tsunami that struck northeastern Japan on Friday has killed at least 95 people. Many people are missing, while authorities are warning Pacific coastal areas to be on the alert for possible tsunami of up to 10 meters high.

Japan's Meteorological Agency says the quake on Friday afternoon had an estimated magnitude of 8.8, making it the most powerful one to hit the country since record-keeping began in the late 19th century.

The quake struck at 2:46 PM local time, off the Pacific coast of Miyagi Prefecture, at an estimated depth of 24 kilometers. Tremors in Miyagi registered an intensity of 7 -- the maximum level on the Japanese scale of 0 to 7. Strong tremors were felt hundreds of kilometers away, including in Tokyo.
Several magtitude-7-class aftershocks continued off the Pacific coast.

The Meteorological Agency has issued major tsunami warnings to broad areas, from Hokkaido in the north, to Tokushima in the west. The agency says these areas could see water levels surge by more than 10 meters.

At 3:50 PM Friday, a tsunami surging higher than 7.3 meters struck Soma Port in Fukushima Prefecture. A 4.2-meter tsunami hit Oarai in Ibaraki Prefecture at 4:52 PM, while tsunami more than 4 meters high struck Kamaishi and Miyako in Iwate Prefecture at 3:21 PM.

NHK has learned that at least 95 people have been killed in the quake and tsunami, including 41 in Iwate Prefecture, 11 in Miyagi Prefecture, 26 in Fukushima Prefecture. Many more are missing.

A 6-year-old child was killed in Miyagi, when the ceiling of a supermarket collapsed. The child's mother is reportedly in serious condition.

At least 97 fires have been reported in 9 prefectures -- the largest number of them in Miyagi. In Chiba Prefecture, a massive blaze is raging at a Cosmo Oil refinery. A man in his 30s has reportedly suffered severe burns all over his body.

Narita Airport near Tokyo has partially resumed operations. But several airports remain closed in northeastern Japan, including one in Sendai.

Shinkansen bullet train operations have been called off for the day in central and northeastern Japan, and all train services have been suspended in the Tokyo Metropolitan area. Expressways are closed to traffic in northeastern Japan and in central Tokyo.

According to electric power companies, 4.4 million households in northeastern Japan are without power. Nearly 4-million more households are also under a blackout in the Tokyo Metropolitan area.

The Meteorological Agency is warning of more possible tsunami and aftershocks. It says people in areas where major tsunami warnings are in effect should evacuate to safer ground.

Japan quake magnitude raised to 9.0

Japan's Meteorological Agency says the magnitude of Friday's earthquake that hit the Pacific coast of northeastern Japan was 9.0 instead of 8.8 as earlier announced.

The agency made the correction on Sunday morning after analyzing seismic waves and other data. The magnitude is equivalent to that of the 2004 earthquake off Sumatra, Indonesia, which triggered massive tsunamis in the Indian Ocean.

The agency says the focal zone of Friday's quake was about 500-kilometers long and 200-kilometers wide. Destructive movement along the fault continued for more than 5 minutes.

The Meteorological Agency says only 4 other quakes in the world have recorded magnitudes of 9 or over.

The largest was the magnitude 9.5 quake that hit the Chilean coast in 1960, killing more than 1,600. The quake also triggered tsunamis in Japan, leaving 142 people dead.

The 2004 quake off Sumatra registered a magnitude of 9.1. Subsequent giant tsunamis killed more than 200,000 people.

Translation will always sound funny but oh well nice attempt to whoever did this one:)
It's always been like that
You'd be peevish
And hide away what's important to me, wouldn't you?
And because those places where you’d hide them
Would always be the same
Today I’ll wait for you there first

The seasons have brought along the evening sun
And the shadows stretched and found me

With a shocked expression on your face, you stared at me
And suddenly your face turns sour, you look as if you're pouting
When I say “I’m sorry"
You say “Then come over here
"Hey, see this! Look! Look!
"Our shadows have overlapped each other"

Because our umbrellas are colliding against each other
I can't walk in a straight line
And you laugh after seeing me like this
So I do it as well, like how you showed me
I pouted the same way you did

You, who’s smiling so gently
All this while, all the time
You've been so important to me that I could cry
So I pouted on purpose
And before you could respond to me with a "I'm sorry"
I kissed you gently

From now on, it’s okay if you say slightly willful things
But please say them only to me

“Because it's too troublesome"
Because you’re not being frank with me
I wonder why you can’t just say it?
“I like you" just these words
Sometimes I just want to hear you say it
Today is the day our names overlap each other
The day that our love starts to sprout

Lalalalalalalalala…

The rainbow is really pretty
No, it’s you that’s prettier
To the you who’s starting to be shy

Thank you…
Thank you.

The very act of being able to love someone in a special way is in itself a grace gift from God.

- Ollie

The grace of confession

2011-03-06T23:01:00.006+08:00

I strongly encourage you to have a read of this:

I often wonder how many people are stuck in their relationships in a cycle of repeating the same things over and over again. They repeat the same misunderstandings. They rehearse and re-rehearse the same arguments. They repeat the same wrongs. Again and again things are not resolved. Night after night they end the day with nothing reconciled; they awake with memories of another bad moment with a friend, spouse, neighbor, co-worker or family member and they march toward the next time when the cycle will be repeated.

It all becomes predictable and discouraging. They hate the cycle. They wish things were what they once were. Their minds swing between nostalgia and disappointment. They want things to be different, but they don’t seem to know how to break free, and they don’t seem willing to do the one thing that makes change possible—confess.

They tell themselves they will do better. They promise they will deal with their issues. They promise they will seek God's help. They decide to invest more time and energy in the relationship. They promise they will talk more. But it is not long before all the promises fade away. It is not long before they are in the same place again. All their commitments to change have been subverted by the one thing they seem unwilling to do: take the focus off the other and put it on themselves.

Here is the point: no change takes place in a relationship that does not begin with confession. The problem for many of us is we look at confession as a burden, when it is actually a grace.

It is a grace to know right from wrong

Change is all about measuring yourself against a standard, being dissatisfied with where you are because you see that you have fallen short of the standard, and seeking the grace to close the gap from where you are to where you need to be.

James likened the Word of God to a mirror (James 1:22–25) into which we can look and see ourselves as we actually are. It is impossible to overstate how important this is. Accurate diagnosis always precedes effective cure. You only know that the board is too short because you can place it against a measuring instrument. You only know that the temperature in your house is too hot because you have a measuring instrument in your house (called a thermostat).

The Bible is God’s ultimate measuring instrument. It is meant to function in each of our lives as a spiritual tape measure. We can place ourselves and our relationships next to it and see if we measure up to God’s standard. God’s Word is one of his sweetest gifts of grace, and open eyes to see it clearly and an open heart to receive it willingly are sure signs of God’s grace as well.

It is a grace to understand the concept of indwelling sin

One of the most tempting fallacies for us—and for every human being in this fallen world—is to believe that our greatest problems exist outside us rather than inside us. Despite this, the Bible calls us to humbly confess that the greatest, deepest, most abiding problem each of us faces is inside of us, not outside. The Bible names that problem "sin." Because sin is self-focused and self-serving, it is antisocial and destructive to our relationships.

You know that you have been gifted with grace when you are able to say, “My greatest relationship problems are because of what's inside of me not outside of me.”

Sara's rendition is absolutely...just..stunning.
also this is how exactly how ive been feeeling...for the past 6 months or so. 本当にself destructive.
やっぱ本当に好きになったのかな？なんでいつもこんな曲を聞くと、涙が止まらない。

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niZ0jVkCffk&feature=channel_video_title

I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
I want you back
I want you back
My neighbors think
I'm crazy
But they don't understand
You're all I have
You're all I have

Chorus:

At night when the stars
light up my room
I sit by myself

Talking to the Moon
Try to get to You
In hopes you're on
the other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool
who sits alone
Talking to the moon

I'm feeling like I'm famous
The talk of the town
They say
I've gone mad
Yeah
I've gone mad
But they don't know
what I know

Cause when the
sun goes down
someone's talking back
Yeah
They're talking back

At night when the stars
light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the Moon
Try to get to You
In hopes you're on
the other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool
who sits alone
Talking to the moon

Ahh Ahh,
Ahh Ahh,

Do you ever hear me calling?
Cause every night
I'm talking to the moon
Still trying to get to you

In hopes you're on
the other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool
who sits alone
Talking to the moon

I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away

Boomerang - Plain White T's
another great one by sara.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3H_jOfeiq4

The fire was out
But then the phone rang
And all of the heat came back again
As much as I try
You're hard to resist
All that it takes is just one kiss

And I'm putty in your hands
I'm under your spell
You send me spinning

You pull me in close
You throw me away
I keep coming back like a boomerang
You tell me to go
You beg me to stay
I keep coming back like a boomerang
Around, around, around, and back again
Around, around, around, and back again

You treated me like I'm your little toy
You tell me I'm not like other boys
The next thing I know
You toss me aside
You don't even bother with goodbyes

But when you say hello
I can't ignore you
You send me spinning

You pull me in close
You throw me away
I keep coming back like a boomerang
You tell me to go
You beg me to stay
I keep coming back like a boomerang
Around, around, around, and back again
Around, around, around, and back again

(Boom, boom, boom)
And now my heart is racing
(Boom, boom, boom)
And after you I'm chasing
(Boom, boom, boom)
You gotta catch me when I fall
You send me spinning

You pull me in close
You throw me away
I keep coming back like a boomerang
You tell me to go
You beg me to stay
I keep coming back like a boomerang
Around, around, around, and back again
Around, around, around, and back again
Around, around, around, and back again
Around, around, around, and back again

God Bless The Child lyrics
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ov-dV-9Tw4&feature=feedf
jacob's rendition was mind blowing. absolutely inspirational.

Billie Holiday / Arthur Herzog Jr.

Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding round the door
When you're gone, spending ends
They don't come no more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
He just worry 'bout nothin'
Cause he's got his own

Dixie Chicks
Landslide

I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well, the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life

Uh uh... uh uh, uh uh

Well, I've been afraid of changin'
Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes bolder
Children get older
And I'm getting older too
Well

(Instrumental)

Well, I've been afraid of changin'
Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes bolder
Children get older
And I'm getting older too

Well, I'm getting older too

So take this love and take it down
Yeah, and if you climb a mountain and you turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well, the landslide brought it down

And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well maybe...
Well maybe...
Well maybe...
The landslide'll bring you down

FYP phobia

2011-02-23T01:39:00.005+08:00

:(

2011-02-12T14:29:00.002+08:00

昨日、CZと話してたけど、やっぱFYPちゃんとやんなきゃ。：（

そして、CZはずっと前から、私とポータがつきあってたと思っていたんだって！
まあ、まわりのみんなにそう見えたのかな？としと私の幼馴染みの友達はそう思わなかったみたい。
逆に、CZと私がつきあってると思っていたんだ。
CZはいつもポータのこと褒めて、”いいやつじゃん”　とか、”いい性格もってんじゃん”　”あんた達いい友達じゃなかったの？”
そうゆわれても、私は　勿論、気にしてるけど、向こうが何にも教えてくれないから。私も友達として何にもできない。”心配や悩ごととかは、おれの男性の友達と話すんだ。”とか、態とこんな質問かけて来てくるんだよ　”ね、食事のいい場所教えてくれない？”　そして教えると、気にしてる私が、誰と行くの？と質問すると、”俺の高校の友達達と行くんだ。最近、俺たち発見してるんだ。”いいだろう”って言わなかったけど　そうつたわってきた。自慢してるみたい。だって前は私達そうしてた。いろんな所を発見したり、映画を見たりしに行ったけどね。そう聞いた私はもうこの人の事を諦めたい。

そして、最近はもう、話はあんまりしないんだ。
これで終わりかな？perhaps.

It was that summer somehow that we fell apart...
wish it didn't have to end this way.
wish we could sort things out. is it too late? why can't we talk things out?

waiting, crying, hoping...for honesty, reconciliation and forgiveness.

my life is for rent

2011-02-05T23:29:00.005+08:00

My bro just got an iphone 4 Feb 3rd to be exact and has been playing angry bird...lol haha ah well the things you can do now with a phone...its amazing. taking photos that have different camera lens, videos..etc.. I'll probably look back 5-10years from now and read this post and think (pshh iphone4 is like so outdated and be thinking to myself why did I ever think it was such a cool gadged.)

I've got to admit that in SG, wireless is just so available. I don't even think that the USA or other countries can be as super efficient...as of now. Its almost hard to live without the internet.. People can be online 24/7 talking to people from all over the world. Now that there's the wassup application...frens have been using that instead of sms-es, skype instead of this and that...writing snail mails will reallybe a fading tradition. Ppl who have smart phones can check their emails and send them while they are walking. Changing appointments while that are still in a meeting or yea its just crazy!

Well I have a relatively smart-ish phone but I cant get online coz the keypad on my HTC touch 2 is just too small for me to do anything on the internet. So i just use it for calling and sms-ing. But being in that position. I've noticed, that most people who has a bb or an iphone tends to look at their phone like a zillion times a day. I think if i were to document it and make it into some interesting info graphics it would be epic. But seriously..that's how we are so connected to the internet that we can't get our eyes off it.

Even when we're like in a meeting one on one with a friend..our eye contact wont last a min without checking our phones. I encountered that...several times.. where I felt like the person whom I was meeting couldn't be bothered with my presence coz the phone which consists of many many ppl was worth her/his time. I felt that maybe there's really no point meeting a person face to face when all you can get is a blink of that person's attention..and just a person that doesn't acknowledge your existence.

If I become too attached to the things online, I think I really need to do some thinking. Even for me to rely on this blog to keep all these info about my life. Facebook to give me space to upload tons of photos.. I wonder what will happen if one day it all disappeared out of my life. I guess eventually one day it will. My time here on earth is not long. Yet here I am trying to spend all my time on it on things that are temporary. =_=

I think God feels the same too:( we're trading Him for more time spent else where...He's prob saying "Hellooo there...why aren't you talking to me when I'm right here" :( Gotta seriously go and reflect and rethink how I choose to spend my time.

A dream about fyp

2011-02-05T11:16:00.003+08:00

Its the third day of CNY and I had a dream about FYP. Oddly it wasn't about my own FYP rather it was people who were getting affected by the stress. I'm one that perhaps need to apply more stress to myself. :( Its easier to feel apathetic about it and not do anything. sigh. FYP is really testing our real innerself..my innerself as well. Testing our character...our behavior and attitude towards others around us. Its the testing of our faith and beliefs.

1 cor 3:10-23

¹⁰ By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. ¹¹ For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. ¹² If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, ¹³ their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. ¹⁴ If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. ¹⁵ If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.

¹⁶ Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? ¹⁷ If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.

¹⁸ Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise. ¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”^a]">[a]; ²⁰ and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”^b]">[b] ²¹ So then, no more boasting about human leaders! All things are yours, ²² whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas^c]">[c] or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, ²³ and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.

On a random note, I saw the American version of Hachiko...:( made me cryyyyyyy but i felt it was very..different coz it was told from a western perspective. But ah well I wont be too picky about it.

Daily battles

2011-02-03T02:07:00.004+08:00

Its tough to always fight, especially when it comes to fighting against your own monsters. Daily struggles of tackling with my human flesh and to worship the unholy trinity, me, myself and I. Meeting my own needs and not for others around me. To want things that are not necessary or important now, but I yearn for it coz i know it quenches my temporary desires. If I'm not alert or clear with what promises God has stated in the Bible, I'm bound to be swayed to any next opinion or voice that comes my way. I'll be uncertain about my future or why certain things are happening to me and itd be easier and more convenient to blame...anyone..or even everyone other than myself. Its so much easier to fall into these patterns, mindsets soon turn into tough habits to break. Its easier to give in, its easier to give up and lose hope and dwell in self pity and bitterness. But God didn't intend that for us. He gave us love when we spat at Him. He gave us grace and mercy when we didn't deserve it. He gave us hope when we were hopeless and helpless. Its in our brokenness are we then able to see how much we really need God in our lives.

Wow..as I reflect and see my past posts, I cant believe how fast time passes by and here I am, already at the last chapter of my uni life. Well I better go off now its really late but Happy CNY:) my last CNY in Uni.>_<

Incessant rain bring floods to eastern part of Singapore

Flooding at the Tampines Expressway near the Punggol Exit. (courtesy of @ygalau)

Nearly two days of constant rain over the weekend caused several parts of eastern Singapore to flood on Sunday morning and afternoon.

Channel News Asia reported that areas affected by the Sunday flash floods included Airport Boulevard, Changi Village, the slip road near Tampines Avenue 12, the TPE slip road near the Punggol exit, as well as Ang Mo Kio Ave 5, leading to Buangkok Green Industrial Park.

The Straits Times also reported two lanes along Airport Boulevard were closed on Sunday morning due to flooding along Airport Boulevard, leaving two passable. But the flood waters were cleared by noon.

PUB officers said the floods were caused by chokes in the drainage system.

At Block 384A in Tampines Street 32, workers had to pump out the water from the flooded basement of the multi-storey carpark.

However, usual flood-prone areas such as Bukit Timah and Orchard Road were spared this time.

The almost continuous weekend rain also caused havoc at construction sites. In particular, a partially completed bridge under construction at Punggol The Waterway collapsed under the weight of rainwater on Sunday morning.

The non-stop rain and subsequent floods were a major talking point on micro-blogging platform Twitter, where #sgflood and #sgfloods were among the top trending topics.

Users @quelynxandever and @iamsurebbyrz also reported flooding at the Singapore Expo, and Loyang Avenue near Changi Prison.

on a not so related note heres a passage my dad told me this mornin...i just thought of posting it up:)

Proverbs 19:21

Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.

⁶ A voice says, “Cry out.”
And I said, “What shall I cry?”

“All people are like grass,
and all their faithfulness is like the flowers of the field.
⁷ The grass withers and the flowers fall,
because the breath of the LORD blows on them.
Surely the people are grass.
⁸ The grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of our God endures forever.”

oceans will part-hillsongs

2011-01-02T22:53:00.003+08:00

In the lowest times its best to cling onto His promises. :')

Oceans will part-Hillsongs

If my heart has grown cold
There Your love will unfold
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
When I’m blind to my way
There Your Spirit will pray
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand

Oceans will part nations come
At the whisper of Your call
Hope will rise glory shown
In my life Your will be done

Present suffering may pass
Lord Your mercy will last
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
And my heart will find praise
I’ll delight in Your way
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand

Bitter endings Sweet beginnings...I can only hope...for a better tomorrow..

I don't know about tomorrow,
I just live from day to day.
And I don't borrow from the sunshine
'Cause the skies might turn to grey.

And I don't worry about the future,
'Cause I know what Jesus said,
And today I'm gonna walk right beside him
'Cause he's the one who knows what is ahead.

There are things about tomorrow
That I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand.

And each step is getting brighter
As the golden stairs I climb.
And every burden is getting lighter
And all the clouds, they're silver lined.

And, I'll bet the sun it's always shining
There no tears will ever dim the eye
And the ending of the rainbow
Where the mountains, they touch the sky.

There are many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand.

So long 22 years of my life hello 23..I wonder what's installed for me next.
Here's a few thoughts and quotes that I thought was kinda neat to post...

"It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." - Albus Dumbledore

keeping the balance

2010-12-31T08:57:00.002+08:00

Source taken from Daily Bread.

In a letter to his son Eduard, Albert Einstein gave this advice: “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.” The great physicist’s advice is wise and practical.

This wise counsel can apply to the Christian life. Many believers by faith keep moving ahead through painful and trying circumstances. But when they experience a personal moral failure, they lose their balance and fall. Their regret and feeling of unworthiness of God’s forgiveness may then keep them down and they no longer move ahead in their spiritual life.

The Bible gives us many examples of those who have experienced serious personal failure. Abraham lied to Pharaoh about his wife, Sarah (Gen. 12:11-17). Jacob deceived his father to acquire Esau’s blessing (Gen. 27:18-29). Moses disobeyed God by striking the rock instead of speaking to it (Num. 20:7-12). Despite their failures, we are told: “all these . . . obtained a good testimony through faith” (Heb. 11:39).

These biblical characters are lifted up as examples because after they fell, they turned back to God and began to follow Him again. Have you lost your spiritual balance through a sinful choice, which is keeping you down? Repent and follow the God of second chances once again.

I’ve strayed, O Lord, and turned aside,
I’ve disobeyed Your voice;
But now contrite of heart I turn
And make Your will my choice. —D. De Haan

Our God is a God of second chances.

its strange how we cant talk like we used to anymore:(

2010-12-23T01:48:00.005+08:00

Its funny how I can identify with this lyrics when it comes to you..by Noah and the Whale...5 yrs time..

Oh
Five years time
I might not know you
Five years time
We might not speak
Oh In five years time
We might not get along
In five years time
You might just prove me wrong

Oh how i wish you'd just prove me wrong...can't we just break this silence already? please?

2010-12-11T00:16:00.004+08:00

Stars
This band seriously knows how to express themselves thru their music and lyrics
This song in particular. "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead"

This really hit me...

Live through this, and you won't look back...
Live through this, and you won't look back...
Live through this, and you won't look back...

There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted
I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save

I'm not sorry there's nothing to save...

check out the video here.
http://vimeo.com/9959665

"Your Ex-Lover Is Dead"

God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before'
In that instant it started to pour,
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of the time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name...

This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
Tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in
Now you're outside me
You see all the beauty
Repent all your sin

It's nothing but time and a face that you lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard
I'll send you the news
From a house down the road from real love...

Live through this, and you won't look back...
Live through this, and you won't look back...
Live through this, and you won't look back...

There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted
I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save

I'm not sorry there's nothing to save...

Don't understand you

2010-12-07T02:20:00.006+08:00

I don't like it when this happens...

I really appreciate how some people can tolerate my sharing be it good, bad or random. I must say, sometimes I do want to just place myself to be the one that listens, cause there are times I feel as if I do talk too much. I don't want it to be a one sided conversation where each time, roles are fixed. I talk and people listen? I usually find that quite rare. But for some people I'd wish it won't be so one-sided? Its always feels like I'm jotting the events that happened in my life on paper...when I talk to some people. Like a I'm reporting my day stating the events that happened in my life, how I've been and what I intend to do. Its strange to me that some friendships turn out like that. Its like here you know almost everything about me. I'm being transparent and as real as can be and I know nothing about your day or how things have been. Its almost becomes wrong for me to ask such questions. Or things get tense for some reason and some people become defensive. Why? I really don't understand. I share with you what happened and so I do what to know how things have been for you as well. Perhaps having expectations such as wanting to have a more edifying conversation might be demanding. Or maybe some people just don't choose to open up to me? Is it cause people don't trust me? If it is, then please do say so.

"I Never told you"

2010-11-15T14:23:00.001+08:00

Colbie Caillat

I miss those blue eyes
How you kiss me at night
I miss the way we sleep

Like there's no sunrise
Like the taste of your smile
I miss the way we breathe

But I never told you
What I should have said
No, I never told you
I just held it in

And now,
I miss everything about you
Can't believe that I still want you
And after all the things we've been through
I miss everything about you
Without you

I see your blue eyes
Everytime I close mine
You make it hard to see
Where I belong to
When I'm not around you
It's like I'm alone with me

But I never told you
What I should have said
No, I never told you
I just held it in

And now,
I miss everything about you
Can't believe that I still want you
And after all the things we've been through
I miss everything about you
Without you

But I never told you
What I should have said
No, I never told you
I just held it in

And now,
I miss everything about you
Can't believe that I still want you
And after all the things we've been through
I miss everything about you
Without you

Effective Communication: The Leader’s Greatest Skill

" I’ve learned that fully 85% of what you accomplish in your career and in your personal life will be determined by how well you get your message across and by how capable you are in inspiring people to take action on your ideas."

http://theresurgence.com/2010/04/21/dream-big-and-dream-focused

I recently had an interesting and revealing conversation with a young man at Mars Hill Church. The bottom line was that he lacked any serious motivation and direction in his life and didn’t have a clue as to what he wanted to see happen in/through his life. I was reminded of the line from Tombstone spoken by Wyatt Earp: “I spent my whole life not knowing what I wanted out of life.” Those words have always haunted me and led me to pray that Jesus would continue to give me clarity regarding what my life is all about. As this young man and I continued to talk about how he should go about getting some gas in his tank and fire in his belly, I shared three things with him:

3 Things to Do If You Lack Direction

Determine exactly what it is you want to achieve.
Ask yourself what it will take to achieve it.
Pay the price and do what it takes, regardless of the cost or inconvenience to you.

The gospel needs to be the foundation from which these three steps flow. It is imperative that I begin with who I am in Jesus and who he is in me. It is important to get in touch with my God-given passion, gifts, and calling, which will aid me in determining my unique contribution.

Life Planning Retreats

I often suggest to those young men I coach that they start this process by getting away on a “life planning retreat” for most of a day to think, pray, and seek his will. This time will often jumpstart a process which may take months or even years. We are talking about a combination of both dreaming big and, at the same time, focusing on a few things to give my time and attention to—maybe only one thing over time. I was captivated by a statement I recently heard: “I want to be 100% good at a few things rather than so-so at a lot of things." Dream big and then focus your energy and time like a laser. You might not achieve all you dream of, but you most certainly will not achieve anything you don’t dream of. Check out Dave Kraft's new book, Leaders Who Last.

Les Miserables - I Dreamed a Dream Lyrics

Les Miserables - I Dreamed a Dream Lyrics

There was a time, when men were kind
And their voices were soft
And their words were inviting
There was a time, when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time it all went wrong

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high and life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving

Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they turn your hope apart
As they turn your dreams to shame

He slept a summer by my side
He filled my dreams with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came

And still I dream he'd come to me
That we would live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from the hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed

haze

2010-10-23T12:47:00.005+08:00

This week was a good breather from school. Actually its more of not being in school but I'M still doing school work. Today I think im gonna pull of a hikikomori. On Monday I really thought I was falling sick coz my nose suddenly decided to be emo and yea nasal problems all the way till Wed. I already have a sinus problem and to add on to that the haze is really choking me. Maybe to some people who don't have much of this problem and will carry on living life coz they can live with it.I felt like haze really hinders our vision, suffocates and chokes us. Some of us will complain about it. Some will just carry on living mentioning about its existance but continue living trying to ignoring it. But the fact is we can't coz the haze is here and so what can we really do about it? We cant really make it dissapear. Its a good wake up call for Singapore in a way coz if not we won't really stop to think.
Mr. Brown's take on how the haze makes him feel.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpyNtFN-tG0

For me, I thought about this analogy. Haze used as a metaphor for a person's sin against God. Sometimes when life is good, we think we don't really have any sin to deal with; there's no problem at all. We may not see it around as clearly but when we do we can identify what sin it is and there's no way of hiding it. It chokes us often making us feel sick and terrible. Some people may continue to live on with life ignoring it or not dealing with the fact that it's there. It made me think of what are some areas in my life right now are choking me that I'm not dealing with.

urgh talk about dealing with it...I don't know why I don't feel motivated to do anything right now other than to blog about how I can't get myself to do my fyp. Well amazing thing is recently I've been meeting more and more Chrisitans in the creative industry. Yesterday, initially I wasn't planning to go for Sam's Table for one exhibition but it was seriously a great time of meeting and catching up with people whom I haven't seen in a while...well I really enjoyed Sam's works. It was couragous, bold and yet honest and transparent of her to display her works. I guess that's the thing with artists. Sometimes we may present ourselves in a way thats not directly related to us in our works but I think the most fufilling ones that really give you contentment is the ones that you can come to terms with. Be it a struggle or a major event in your life. When its really personal the works also becomes a refelection of yourself. Most people and relate and understand what its like to be eating dinner alone in a restaurant. To some maybe they were caught in wanting to have a "me-time alone" away from people or they are just eating alone coz no friends avaiable that night for a meal, no bf or gf, etc... some find it a sensitive issue to talk about. where others just really need that time alone. I can relate to that. The whole point of creating art is to be inclusive. Why create an art work where no one else can relate to?
Sam's blog for A Table for One
http://tableforonesg.wordpress.com/

Well I was there since 4pm so I made good use of it. I introduced myself to David who's one of the few guys who were involved in starting the business FFT and I really felt that it was a great opportunity to get to know all these people at one shot. Then, today I made a phone call to The little Drom Store and got to know Antoinette. Last night I saw their postcard designs at FFT which really spoke to me. The design and the exectution.

Donna was supposed to get back to me since Wed this week but still no reply:( sigh...
Well Ive been telling myself this, but I'll do it I again. Its really time for me to just be still before God and to stop asking so many people about what they think and first be alone with God to hear what He's telling me. coz ultimately that's what really matters. After all this project is about Him. I'd like to believe that God determined and intended me to be there at FFT to be able to speak to these people like how it says here in Acts.

Acts 17:26
From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.

Ah well...
Its really exciting to see how things are moving...slowly but surely getting somewhere. I can only hope.

Maroon 5 – I Can’t Lie Lyrics

I must have been a fool
To love you so hard for so long
So much stronger than before
But so much harder to move on

And now the bitter chill of the winter
Still blows through me like a plague
Only to wake up with an empty bed
On a perfect summer day

My world just feels so cold
And you find yourself
Walking down the wrong side of the road

I can’t lie on my mind
Stuck inside my head
I wanna feel your heart beat for me instead, yeah
I just die so much inside
Now that you’re not there
I wanna feel your heartbeat like yesterday

I never did my best to
Express how I really felt
And now that I know exactly what I want
You found somebody else

My world just feels so cold
And you find yourself
Walking on the wrong side of the road

I can’t lie on my mind
Stuck inside my head
I wanna feel your heart beat for me instead, yeah
I just die so much inside
Now that you’re not there
I wanna feel your heart beat like yesterday

My world just feels so cold
And I find myself
Thinking about the things I could have done
And it warms my soul
When you let me know
I’m not the only one

I can’t lie on my mind Story inside my head I wanna feel your heart beat for me instead, yeah I just die so much inside Now that you’re not there I wanna feel your heart beat like yesterday

Does anybody hear her?

2010-09-18T02:01:00.002+08:00

Casting Crowns
"Does Anybody Hear Her"

She is running
A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction
She is trying
But the canyon's ever widening
In the depths of her cold heart
So she sets out on another misadventure just to find
She's another two years older
And she's three more steps behind

Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even knows she's going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?

She is yearning
For shelter and affection
That she never found at home
She is searching
For a hero to ride in
To ride in and save the day
And in walks her prince charming
And he knows just what to say
Momentary lapse of reason
And she gives herself away

If judgement looms under every steeple
If lofty glances from lofty people
Can't see past her scarlet letter
And we never even met her

He is running
A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction

Half of my heart Lyrics

I was born in the arms of imaginary friends
Free to rome made a home out of everywhere I've been
Then you come crashing in, like the realest thing
Trying my best to understand, all that your love can bring

Oh half of my heart has a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart has a right mind to tell you that
I can't keep loving you(can't keep loving you)
Oh with half of my heart

I was made to believe I'd never love somebody else
Made a plan stay the man who could only love himself
Lonely was the song I sang, til the day you came
Showing my another way, and all that my love can bring

Oh half of my hearts got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart has a right mind to tell you that
I can't keep loving you(can't keep loving you)
Oh with half of my heart, with half of my heart

Your faith is strong, but I can only fall short for so long
Down the road, later on
You will hate that I never gave more to you
Then half of my heart

But I can't stop loving you(I can't stop loving you)
I can't stop loving you(I can't stop loving you)
I can't stop loving you, with half of my heart

Oh half of my heart
Half of my heart
Half of my heart has a real good imagination
Half of my hearts got you

Half of my hearts got a right mind to tell you that
Half of my heart won't do

Half of my heart in a shotgun wedding
To a bride with a paper ring

But half of my heart is the part of a man
Whose never truely loved anything

Half of my heart
Oh half of my heart
Half of my heart
Oh half of my heart

Katy Perry - I'm Still Breathing

I leave the gas on
Walk the allies in the dark
Sleep with candels burning
I leave the door unlocked
I'm weaving a rope and
Running all the red lights
Did I get your attention
Cuz I'm sending all the signs
That the clocking is ticking
And I'll be giving my two weeks
Pick your favorite shade of black
You'd best prepare a speech
Say something funny
Say something sweet
But don't say that you loved me

Cuz I'm still breathing
Though we've been dead for awhile
This sickness has no cure
We're goingdown for sure
Already lost a grip
Best abandon ship
Oh...

Maybe I was too pale
Maybe I was too fat
Maybe you had better
Better luck in the sack
No formal education
And I swore way too much
But I swear you didn't care
Cuz we were in love

So as I write this letter
It's all for the better
That we end this year
Let's close this chapter say one last prayer
But don't say that you loved me

Cuz I'm still breathing
Though we've been dead for awhile
This sickness has no cure
We're going down for sure
Already been diagnosed
So let's give up the ghost

Cuz I'm still breathing
Though we've been dead for awhile
This sickness has no cure
We're going down for sure
Already lost a grip
Best abandoned ship
Oh..

Oh I'm still breathing I'm still breathing

Oh...

Bible verses

Came across this website when I was looking for a Bible verse to write for a friend's wedding card and I found it quite helpful:) Just thought I'd just post it here to share it.

1 Corinthians 13

2010-04-19T10:39:00.005+08:00

1 Corinthians 13

⁴Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.⁸Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹For we know in part and we prophesy in part, ¹⁰but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. ¹¹When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. ¹²Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. ¹³And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Relient K-let it all out

2010-04-16T01:31:00.003+08:00

Relient K-Let it all out

Let it all out
get it all out
rip it out remove it
don't be alarmed
when the wound begins to bleed

cause we're so scared to find out
what this life's all about
so scared we're going to lose it
not knowing all along
that's exactly what we need

and today I will trust you with the confidence
of a man who's never known defeat
but tomorrow, upon hearing what I did
I will stare at you in disbelief
oh, inconsistent me
crying out for consistency

and you said I know that this will hurt
but if I don't break your heart then things will just get worse
If the burden seems too much to bear
Remember
the end will justify the pain it took to get us there

and I'll let it be known
at times I have shown
signs of all my weakness
but somewhere in me
there is strength

and you promise me
that you believe
in time I will defeat this
cause somewhere in me
there is strength

and today I will trust you with the confidence
of a man who's never known defeat
and I'll try my best to just forget
that that man isn't me

reach out to me
make my heart brand new
every beat will be for you
for you

and I know you know
you touched my life
when you touched my heavy heart and made it light

J‘ai Deux Amours Lyrics

On dit qu’au dela des mers
La-bas sous le ciel clair
Il existe une cite
Au sejour enchante
Et sous les grands arbres noirs
Chaque soir
Vers elle s’en va tout mon espoir

J’ai deux amours
Mon pays et Paris
Par eux toujours
Mon coeur est ravi
Manhattan est belle
Mais a quoi bon le nier
Ce qui m’ensorcelle
C’est Paris, c’est Paris tout entier

Le voir un jour
C’est mon reve joli
J’ai deux amours
Mon pays et Paris

Manhattan est belle
Mais a quoi bon le nier
Ce qui m’ensorcelle
C’est Paris, c’est Paris tout entier

Le voir un jour
C’est mon reve joli
J’ai deux amours
Mon pays et Paris

Translation

One says that to seas
Over there under the clear sky
There exists one quotes
With the stay enchants
And under the large black trees
Each evening
Towards it from all my hope goes away

I have two loves
My country and Paris
By them always
My heart is delighted

Manhattan is beautiful
But what good is it to deny it
What bewitches me
It is Paris, it is entire Paris
To see one day
It is my pretty dream

I have two loves
My country and Paris
Manhattan is beautiful
But what good is it to deny it
What bewitches me
It is Paris, it is entire Paris

To see one day
It is my pretty dream
I have two loves My country and Paris

An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up. If you walk into a dark room and turn on a light, the darkness flees. In the same way, a kind word acts as light to an anxious heart. It fills the heart with hope and joy, forcing out anxiety.

Yet if you are the one who is apprehensive today, fill your own heart and mind with God's Word and peace. Let His words cheer you up.

God tells us to cast all our cares on Him (1 Pet. 5:7) and not to be anxious. (Phil. 4:6)

Matthew 5:16

2010-01-24T22:34:00.001+08:00

Matthew 5:16
NIV In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

There are so many awesome ways to learn about God and make our light shine; through prayer, church, the Bible, friends, the Holy Spirit and the list goes on.

He did not intend that we store up the light of His teachings for ourselves, but that we share it with others! We should let our lights shine brightly, so that when people see our good works, they will glorify our Father in heaven.

"Wreckless Love"-Alicia Keys

Let's go back in time
When seeing your ID on mine
Made me crazy
Ooh baby I'm saying

Let's go back there
Let's take it there
I'm talking bout
Back in time
When you wanted to know my every move
Tired to keep it smooth
Keepin' up with me
You drove me crazy ohh baby

Let's go back there
Let's take it there

When you
Didn't know me
Didn't need me
I wanted to touch me
Couldn't leave me
I couldn't know how
Far it would go
I couldn't know if
This was for sure
We just could not
We just could not get enough of it baby , let's go

[Chorus]
Have that wreckles love
That crazy love
That off the wall won't stop ti'l I get enough kind of love
I need that love
So baby, let's go

Have that wreckless love
That crazy love
That I don't really care
We can have it anywhere
Kind of love
That wreckless love

Let's go back in time
When our kiss was brand new
An adventure not perfected
A little hesitant

Let's go back there
Let's take it there

Take it back in time
When forever was a minute, and eternity was a second
I'm stressing that we have to go back there
Let's take it there.

When you
Didn't know me
Didn't need me
I wanted to touch me
Couldn't leave me
I couldn't know how
Far it would go
I couldn't know if
This was for sure
We just could not
We just could not get enough of it baby , let's go

[Chorus]
Have that wreckles love

from daily bible verse!

2009-12-04T22:35:00.001+08:00

Proverbs 25:20

Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar poured on soda,
is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.

Sometimes quick answers are the worse thing to offer when people are going through a hard time. In well meaning attempts to lift someone's spirits, we move too fast. It would seem ridiculous to visit someone who has just experienced major surgery and try to pull them out of the hospital bed to get them to exercise. In the same way, sometimes people need the space to grieve for a while. To try to bypass a heavy heart can add more pain to the process. Sometimes the best thing that we can do is to weep when they weep, or just sit with them in silence. The comfort comes not in our cheerful songs, but our presence.

A Beautiful Mess

You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but youre needy,
Humble but youre greedy
Based on your body language, your shoddy cursive Ive been reading
Youre style is quite selective though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests that this is just what happiness is

Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
Its like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you can call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
Cause here we are, here we are

Although you are biased I love your advice
Your comebacks theyre quick and probably have to do with your insecurities
Theres no shame in being crazy, depending on how you take these
Words that paraphrasing this relationship were staging

And its a beautiful mess, yes it is
Its like, we are picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And the kind and courteous is a life Ive heard
But its nice to say that we played in the dirt
Cause here, here we are, Here we are

Here we are x7

We're still here

And what a beautiful mess this is
Its like taking a guess when the only answer is yes

And through timeless words and priceless pictures
Well fly like birds not of this earth
And tides they turn and hearts disfigure
But thats no concern when were wounded together
And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But its nice today, oh the wait was so worth it .

In Your Atmosphere
Artist: John Mayer

I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore
I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore
I don't know what it's like to land and not race to your door
But I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore

I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore
I'm not sure that I really ever could
Hold on to a hotel key
in your bedroom neighborhood
With me sleep walking in Hollywood

I'm gonna steer clear
Burn up in your atmosphere
I'm gonna steer clear
Cause I'd die if I saw you
I'd die if I didn't see you there
So I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore

I dont think I'm gonna go to LA anymore
Get lost on the boulevard at night
Without your voice to tell me
I love you, take a right
The ten and the two is a lonely sight

I'm gonna steer clear
Burn up in your atmosphere
I'm gonna steer clear
Cause I'd die if I saw you
I'd die if I didn't see you

I'm gonna steer clear
Burn up in your atmosphere
I'm gonna steer clear
Cause I'd die if I saw you
I'd die if I didn't see you there, see you there

I think I'm gonna stay gonna stay, gonna stay in the grey, think i'm gonna stay
All the street lights say nevermind nevermind
All the canyon lines say nevermind
Sunset says we see this all the time, nevermind never you mind

Post Bridge:
Where ever I go
What ever I do
I wonder where I am in my relationship to you

Where ever you go
Where ever you are
I watch your life play out in pictures from afar

Where ever I go
what ever I do
I wonder where I am in my relationship to you

Where ever you go
Where ever you are
i watch your pretty life play out in pictures from afar

MAE LYRICS "Suspension"

Lately I'm alright
and lately I'm not scared
I've figured out,
that what you do to me feels like
I'm floating on air.
I don't need to know right now
all I know is I believe
in the very thing that got us here
and now I can't leave.

Say anything, but say what you mean,
cause I'm caught in suspension.

Now,
I'm wanting this for sure
and I'll beg for nothing more.
I'll plan all day and drive all night
you'll love what's in store.
I can't seem to stop this now
even if it's not so clear,
and I'll take what I can get.
If you want me here (If you want me here)

Say anything, but say what you mean.
When you whisper you want this
your eyes tell the same.
We are gaining speed
I can barely breathe.
Cause I'm caught in suspension.

It's enough for me to get excited,
It's enough for me to feel...Oh!

Say anything, but say what you mean.
When you whisper you want this.
Your eyes tell the same.
We are gaining speed (suspension)
I can barely breathe (Oh, please say what you mean)
I'm caught in suspension (suspension)
I'm caught in suspension.

Say (say) anything (suspension)
but say what you mean (Oh, please say what you mean)
I'm caught in suspension (suspension)
I'm caught in suspension.
We are gaining speed (suspension)
I can barely breathe (Oh, I can barely breathe)
I'm caught in suspension (suspension)
I'm caught in suspension.

Say (say) anything (suspension)
but say what you mean (Oh, I can barely breathe)
I'm caught in suspension.

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I

2009-06-12T13:27:00.003+08:00

Psalm 61:2

From the ends of the earth I call to you,
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

David needed a rock of protection, one that was higher than his troubles, a divine protection. He was physically and emotionally drained, so he cried out to the "rock that is higher than I", knowing this was a place of safety with God. David was not literally at the end of the earth, but he was in a place where safety and deliverance seemed obscure.

We've all walked, or will walk, through days of despair. During those days, weeks, or years, we must cling to God or sink further into desperation. Cling to the Rock through your days of trouble and He will grant you peace.

David Choi - Won't Even Start

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy8jdBSwAto&feature=channel

What happened
after last summer
when we broke up
in September

I havent seen you
Feels like a long time
Sometimes it still hurts
But I always get by

I still got a piece of you under my skin
Its always there no matter where Ive been

So if I ever see you on the street
Ill pretend that I didnt see
And turn my face
No use in small talk anyways

Because if I look into your eyes
Then Ill have to say goodbye
And thatll break my heart
So I wont even start
I wont even start

I wish you luck
And I wish it true
Thats the best
I can do for you

Cuz youll probably find love
In someone new
I have to let go
Yeah its hard to do

So if I run into you with your arm by his side
Just know itll cut me like a knife

So if I ever see you on the street
Ill pretend that I didnt see
And turn my face
No use in small talk anyways

Because if I look into your eyes
Then Ill have to say goodbye
And thatll break my heart
So I wont even start
I wont even start

Jeremiah 17:9

2009-03-24T00:18:00.003+08:00

The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? -Jeremiah 17:9

God knows our hearts. The "heart" of a person includes one's thoughts, feelings, and what makes one "tick". Our hearts are notoriously sinful. Scripture clearly indicates that this sinful nature is present within us before we are even born! (Psalm 51:5) Since we are sinful from birth there is only one solution; a new birth is required! Jesus says "Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.'" (John 3:6-7) Without Jesus our hearts are not just sinfully diseased, they are not even beating -- the are spiritually dead.

Man found dead on NTU campus

A man from the Nanyang Technological University has been found dead in his apartment unit on the campus.

24-year-old Zhou Zheng, a Chinese national, was an Infocomm Project Officer at the university's School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering.

He was found hanging in the balcony in his apartment at Block 101C Nanyang Heights where staff and graduate students reside.

Police say they received a call at around 10.30 last night and when they arrived, the body had been brought down to the floor.

The man was pronounced dead at 10.55 pm.

In a statement, NTU says professional counsellors and senior university officers were activated on site to offer support.

The man's parents have since been notified.

As for his flatmates, NTU has found temporary accommodation for them.

When 938LIVE visited the area shortly after midnight, there were hardly any signs of disturbance.

Those that 938LIVE spoke to say the residents there kept mostly to themselves, and hardly interacted with one another.

And some didn't even know who their neighbours were.

PhD student Narendar is one of the residents there.

"I know the students around here, but i don't know the professors, they stick to themselves."

NTU's president Su Guaning says they are deeply saddened by the loss.

This is the university's second alleged suicide case in less than a week.

Both men were from the university's School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering.

On Monday, a 21-year-old Indonesian undergraduate is believed to have slit his wrists and fell to his death after allegedly stabbing his professor on campus.

Singapore's NTU stabbing incident leaves one dead and another injuredanother injured

2009-03-07T01:23:00.004+08:00

A final-year engineering student at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) jumped from a campus block after stabbing a professor on Monday morning March 5, 09.

The professor was in his office at the engineering faculty when the student stabbed him in the back with a knife, leaving him injured.

After stabbing the professor, the male student - who was in his 20s - slit his wrists and jumped off a five-storey building.

Police said they received a call about the incident at 10.35am, and arrived to find the student dead at the bottom of the engineering block.

Eyewitnesses had also told Channel NewsAsia that a person had been stabbed, and that a student, believed to be an Indonesian-Chinese had slit his wrists before jumping off a building.

An NTU spokesman later confirmed that a final year student from the School of Electrical and Electronics Engineering was involved in the stabbing.

It, however, did not name the two people involved, and only said that their next-of-kin had been notified.

The student is said to be 21-year-old David Hartanto Widjaja and the professor is believed to be Chan Kap Luk, who was left with injuries on his back and arm.

Widjaja was a former president of the NTU Electronic Sports Club.

Professor Chan, a Singaporean in his 40s, was sent to the National University Hospital for treatment and is said to be in a stable condition.

The professor has been with NTU's School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering since June 1992.

Professor Chan, who is Deputy Director of the Biomedical Engineering Research Centre at NTU, is said to have been the supervisor of the student in a project.

NTU's president, Su Guaning, pledged to help the families of the professor and student and has mobilised its counselling professionals to help. He also said the matter will be investigated thoroughly.

"The university is deeply shocked and saddened by what has happened... The university community will rally together at this difficult time and do our utmost to help the student's family, the professor and his family, and those traumatised by the incident," added Dr Su.

Speaking to the media at the NUH in the evening, Dr Su said Professor Chan might be discharged in a few days. The stab wound in the professor's back was "deep" but no vital organs were injured. His arm was also not "too badly hurt".

It is understood that at the time of the incident, Widjaja was discussing his final-year project with Professor Chan, as he had difficulty obtaining a pass grade.

Dr Su said Widjaja was a "very good student" whose grades had slipped recently, but he was still considered above average. He said Professor Chan had expressed regret that he could not help his student earlier.

The NTU president said he hopes to prevent such an incident from happening again. "I think it's an overall pastoral care system that is necessary. We've already set up such a thing, with the Student Affairs Office, many counsellors keeping an eye on students with problems.

"Unfortunately, the student never showed that he had problems. ... We would like to review the system to see how we can pick out better students who have such problems, even if they don't communicate with others."

Music and lyrics

"Don't write me off"

It's never been easy for me

To find words to go along with a melody

But this time there's actually something on my mind

So please forgive these few brief awkward lines

Since I met you my whole life has changed

It's not just my furniture you've re-arranged

I was living in the past

But somehow you've brought me back

and I haven't felt like this since before Frankie said relax

and now I know based on my track record

I might not seem like the safest bet

All I'm asking you is

Don't write me off just yet

For years I've been telling myself the same old story

That I'm happy to live off my so called former glories

but you've given me a reason

to take another chance

now I need you despite the fact

that you've killed all my plants

and now I know

i've already blown more chances

than anyone should ever get

all I'm asking you is

don't write me off just yet

"Die Alone"

I woke up this morning with a funny taste in my head.
Spackled some butter over my whole grain bread.
Something tastes different, maybe it's my tongue.
Something tastes different, suddenly I'm not so young.

I'm just a stranger, even to myself.
A re-arranger of the proverbial bookshelf.
Don't be a fool girl, tell him you love him.
Don't be a fool girl, you're not above him.

I never thought I could love anyone but myself.
Now I know I can't love anyone but you.
You make me think that maybe I won't die alone.
Maybe I won't die alone.

Kiss the boys as they walk by, call me their baby.
But little do they know, I'm just a maybe.
Maybe my baby will be the one to leave me sore.
Maybe my baby will settle the score.

I never thought I could love anyone but myself.
Now I know I can't love anyone but you.
You make me think that maybe I won't die alone.
Maybe I won't die alone.

What have I become?
Something soft and really quite dumb.
Because I've fallen, oh, 'cuz I've fall-fallen, oh 'cuz I've fall-fall-fallen
So far away from the place where I started from.

I never thought I could love anyone.
I never thought I could love anyone.
I never thought I could love anyone,
But you, but you, but you, but you, but you
But you make me think that maybe I won't die alone.
Maybe I won't die alone.

Taylor Swift You're Not Sorry Lyrics

2008-10-31T11:05:00.001+08:00

All this time I was wasting,
Hoping you would come around
I've been giving out chances every time
And all you do is let me down
And it's taking me this long
Baby but I figured you out
And you're thinking we'll be fine again,
But not this time around

You don't have to call anymore
I won't pick up the phone
This is the last straw
Don't wanna hurt anymore
And you can say that you're sorry
But I don't believe you baby
Like I did - before
You're not sorry, no no ohhh

Looking so innocent,
I might believe you if I didn't know
Could've loved you all my life
If you hadn't left me waiting in the cold
And you got your share of singers
And I'm tired of being last to know
And now you're asking me to listen
Cause it's worked each time before

But you don't have to call anymore
I won't pick up the phone
This is the last straw
Don't wanna hurt anymore
And you can tell me that you're sorry
But I don't believe you baby
Like I did - before
You're not sorry, no no, ohhh

You're not sorry no no ohhh

You had me falling for you honey
And it never would've gone away, no
You used to shine so bright
But I watched all of it fade

So you don't have to call anymore
I won't pick up the phone
This is the last straw
There's nothing left to beg for
And you can tell me that you're sorry
But I don't believe you baby
Like I did - before
You're not sorry, no no ohhh

You're not sorry, no no ohhh

Nat King Cole Sweet Lorraine lyrics

2008-10-14T23:20:00.002+08:00

Just found joy
I'm as happy as a baby boy, baby boy
With another brand new choo-choo choy
When I met my sweet lorraine, lorraine, lorraine.

A pair of eyes
That are brighter tham the summer sky
When you see them, you'll realize
Why I love my sweet lorraine.

Now when it's rainin',
I don't miss the sun
Because it's in my baby's smile, whoa ho
And to think that I'm the lucky one
That will lead her down the aisle, whoa ho ho

Each night I pray
That no one will steal her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry sweet lorraine.

~interlude~

Now when it's rainin'
I don't miss the sun
Because it's in my baby's smile, whoa ho
And to think that I'm the lucky one
That will lead her down the aisle, whoa ho ho

Each night I pray
That no one will steal her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry sweet lorraine.

Artist: Underwood Carrie
Song: Lessons Learned
Album: Some Hearts

There's some things that I regret,
Some words I wish had gone unsaid,
Some starts,
That had some bitter endings,
Been some bad times I've been through,
Damage I cannot undo.
Some things,
I wish I could do all all over again,
But it don't really matter,
When life gets that much harder,
It makes you that much stronger,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were,
Lessons learned.

And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
And everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night,
Every change, life has thrown me,
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for every scar,
Some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned.

There's mistakes that I have made,
Some chances I just threw away,
Some roads,
I never should have taken,
Been some signs I didn't see,
Hearts that I hurt needlessly,
Some wounds,
That I wish I could have one more chance to mend,
But it don't make no difference,
The past can't be rewritten,
You get the life you're given,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were,
Lessons learned.

And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
And everyday I wondered how I'd get threw the night,
Every change, life has thrown me,
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for every scar,
Some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned.

And all the things that break you,
Are the things that make you strong!
You can't change the past,
Cause it's gone.
And you just gotta move on,
Because it's all
Lessons learned.

And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
From everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night,
From every change, life has thrown me.
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for every scar,
Some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned,
Lessons learned.
Lessons learned."

Song: Worn Me Down

Gone - she`s gone.
How do you feel about it?
That`s what I thought.
You`re real torn up about it.
And I wish you the best
But I could do without it
And I will because you`ve worn me down
Oh, I will because you`ve worn me down

Worn me down like a road.
I did everything you told.
Worn me down to my knees.
I did everything to please you.
But you can`t stop thinking about her.
No, you can`t stop thinking about her.

And you`re wrong. You`re wrong.
I`m not overreacting.
Something is off.
Why don`t we ever believe ourselves?
And I, oh I, I feel that word for you.
And I will because you`ve worn me down.
And I will because you have worn me down.

Worn me down like a road.
I did everything you told.
Worn me down to my knees.
I did everything to please.
But you can`t stop thinking about her.
No, you can`t stop thinking about her.

She`s so pretty.
She`s so damn right.
But I`m so tired of thinking about her, again, tonight.

Worn me down like a road.
I did everything you told.
Worn me down to my knees.
I did everything to please you.

Worn me down like a road.
I did everything you told me to do.
But you, you can`t stop thinking about her.
No, you can`t stop thinking about her.
No, you can`t stop thinking about her.
No, you can`t stop thinking of her.

Incubus Love Hurts Lyrics

Tonight we drink to youth
And holding fast the truth
Don't want to lose what I had as a boy
My heart still has a beat
But love is now a feat
As common as a cold day in L.A.

Sometimes when I'm alone I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing

Love hurts
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me
'cause without love I won't survive

I'm fettered and abused
Stand naked and accused
Should I surface, this one-man submarine?
I only want the truth!
So tonight we drink to youth!
I'll never lose what I had as a boy

Sometimes when I'm alone I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?

Love hurts
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me
'cause without love I won't survive

Without love I won't survive

Love hurts
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me
'cause without love I won't survive

Love hurts, ohhh-oh ohh
Love hurts
Without love I won't survive
Love hurts la-la-la-la-la-la oh
Love hurts
Without love I won't survive

I'm Yours

Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it

I tried to be chill but your so hot that i melted

I fell right through the cracks, and i'm tryin to get back

before the cool done run out i'll be givin it my best test

and nothin's gonna stop me but divine intervention

I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more,

no more, it cannot wait i'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me

open up your plans and damn you're free

look into your heart and you'll find love love love

listen to the music at the moment maybe sing with me

Ah, la peaceful melody

It's your god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved Loved

So, i won't hesitate no more,

no more, it cannot wait i'm sure

there's no need to complicate our time is short

this is our fate, i'm yours

*scat*

I've been spendin' way too long checkin' my tongue in the mirror

and bendin' over backwards just to try to see it clearer

my breath fogged up the glass

and so I drew a new face and laughed

I guess what I'm a sayin'is there ain't no better reason

to rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons

it's what we aim to do

our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more

it cannot wait, i'm sure

(there's no need to complicate

our time is short

it cannot wait, i'm yours 2x

no please don't complicate, our time is short

this is our fate, im yours.

no please don't hesitate no more, no more

it cannot wait, the sky is yours!)

well open up your mind and see like me

open up your plans and damn you're free

look into your heart and you'll find love love love love

listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me

ah, la one big family

it's your god forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved

open up your mind and see like me

open up your plans and damn you're free

look into your heart and you'll find love love love love

listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me

ah, la happy family

it's our god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved

listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me

ah, la peaceful melodies

it's you god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved...

Bubbly lyrics

I've been awake for a while now

You got me feeling like a child now

'Cause every time I see your bubbly face

I get the tinglies in a silly place

It starts in my toes

And I crinkle my nose

Wherever it goes

I always know

That you make me smile

Please stay for a while now

Just take your time

Wherever you go

The rain is falling on my window pane

But we are hiding in a safer place

Under covers staying dry and warm

You give me feelings that I adore

It starts in my toes

Make me crinkle my nose

Wherever it goes

I always know

That you make me smile

Please stay for a while now

Just take your time

Wherever you go

What am I going to say

When you make me feel this way

I just mmmmm

And it starts in my toes

Makes me crinkle my nose

Wherever it goes

I always know

That you make me smile

Please stay for a while now

Just take your time

Wherever you go

I've been asleep for a while now

You tuck me in just like a child now

'Cause every time you hold me in your arms

I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth

And it starts in my soul

And I lose all control

When you kiss my nose

The feeling shows

'cause you make me smile baby

Just take your time now

Holdin' me tight

Wherever wherever wherever you go

wherever you go

I always know

'Cause you make me smile

Even just for a while

WAH is killin me softly...

New life for 'mouth music'?
As beatboxing gets exposure from American Idol's Blake Lewis, local talents hope to cash in
By Jeanmarie Tan and Syahirah Anwar
June 02, 2007

AMERICAN Idol fans this season were enthralled when runner-up Blake Lewis performed his unique take on Bon Jovi's You Give Love A Bad Name.

Student Kiyoki Mori, who came in fourth in 987FM's beatboxing competition twoyears ago. --
The classic rock song was given a novel spin - with Lewis imitating drum beats and rhythms using just his own voice, lips and tongue.
In hip-hop culture, it is the art of vocal percussion, or beatboxing.
Lewis lost the Idol crown to vocal powerhouse Jordin Sparks last week.
But the way he fused beatboxing with chart-toppers like Maroon 5's This Love and Jamiroquai's Virtual Insanity throughout the reality TV singing competition has thrown what is essentially an '80s artform back into the spotlight.
Beatboxers in Singapore are a niche group, but in their midst are some bright sparks.
Blazing the trail are Dharni Ng and Zul Mystroe, both 20, who started beatboxing when they were only 15.
AWARD-WINNING
They are now known in local beatboxing circles as pioneers of the scene and have won many awards between them.
Dharni, a recent Temasek Polytechnic graduate, has performed at Liquid Room and Centro, Zouk in Kuala Lumpur and the Motorola Street Style Awards in Macau.
He is now in talks with local hip-hop club The Butter Factory to possibly collaborate with its DJ on a twice-weekly trial run for a month.
Meanwhile, NS man Zul has appeared at Ministry of Sound (MoS), Home Club and Dbl O.
He said that clubbers were mostly 'supportive and appreciative'.
According to both men, there are only about 50 to 60 beatboxing enthusiasts - and only about 15 actually get paid to perform.
The money can be respectable - Dharni says he gets $400 to $500 for five to 10 minutes' work - but employment is 'seasonal'.
Zul, who charges similar amounts, says the frequency of his gigs ranges from twice a month to once every three months.
He joked: 'The pay is not enough, but can last me a month if I don't go shopping.'
Dharni said the local beatboxing scene peaked in 2005 when radio station 987FM organised Singapore's first official beatboxing competition.
There were then about 100 beatboxers here and 'the hype was crazy'.
But there was no follow-up contest and the scene soon 'died down' because the beatboxers ended up 'focusing on other stuff', they said.
Zul said that the local scene is 'not moving' and that he and Dharni are the only ones committed enough to take the intiative and persuade organisations to put together beatboxing shows and competitions.
But with Lewis in the limelight and beatboxing becoming mainstream, Dharni hopes there will be a revival.
He said: 'He has given it international TV exposure and made the biggest impact.
'There are beatboxers who have been around for many years, but they didn't go on Idol, which is watched bymillions.
'Even in the US, it's still a niche (interest). Not many people knew about it until Blake showed up.'
Still, at least Dharni and Zul's enthusiasm in promoting beatboxing here has created new aficionados.
One of them is Kiyoko Mori, possibly Singapore's sole female beatboxer.
The 18-year-old Japanese-Chinese student picked up beatboxing twoyears ago from Dharni.
She was fourth in the 987FM competition, where she was the only female among 30 applicants.
On being the rose among the thorns, she said: 'It's my nature to be outrageous and be into things that most girls don't find interesting.'
She has performed at dinner functions, alumni events and in clubs like Thumper, and gets about $100 to $400 a session.
But to her, beatboxing is a 'second thing' for 'extra cash if I have the extra time'.
Said Kiyoko, who hopes to study graphic design at Nanyang Technological University: 'Right now, I want to try other things.'
Charles Wong, a 21-year-old NS man who started beatboxing four years ago, has performed at school events and at Club Momo, The Butter Factory and DXO.
He said: 'One thing I like about beatboxing is the freedom to decide how I want things done. You have full control of how you want your music to sound.' Clubs like The Butter Factory, MoS and Home Club have been supportive and have given beatboxers a place to showcase and hone their craft.
MoS holds monthly Sho'Down series, where emcees, DJs, B-boys and beatboxers spar, musically and rhythmically, against each other.
It held its first beatboxing contest last year.
Mr Calvin Sio, assistant vice-president for marketing of LifeBrandz, which runs MoS, said the club is 'very open' to having beatboxers on board as residents 'as long as they're good', because of their 'high entertainment value'.
He added that although clubbers are more used to DJ sets, they respond well when live elements are added.
Said Home Club's marketing manager Kelvin Tan: 'A beatboxer has the potential to connect with the audience on a greater scale than even the DJ.
'We have plans for beatboxing in future events and see not only a need but a growth in their involvement.'
However, club operators agree that beatboxing is still a niche musical form that some clubbers can't appreciate.
Said Ms Celeste Chong, The Butter Factory's marketing director: 'We're willing to try anything linked to hip-hop... but I'm not sure whether it (can be) a regular event, happening every Friday and Saturday. Right now, it's more suitable for one-off events.'
LIMITED APPEAL
Club operators say they also doubt whether beatboxers can ever replace the sounds they try to emulate - the punchy beats and grooves which DJs spin from behind their turntables.
'There might be more chances for them to work together, but to entirely replace them - I don't think so,' said Ms Chong.
Added Home Club's Mr Tan: 'The DJ's main goal in a club is to make clubbers dance.
'While a beatboxer is able to manipulate sound, create beats and a rhythm, I believe his skills are limited by the youth of (the genre) and its ability to create a flow to dance to.'
He added: 'It is much more difficult - almost impossible - for a beatboxer to maintain a beat as long and as consistently and with as much variety as a DJ.'
That doesn't put off Dharni and Zul, who want to be full-time beatboxers.
Dharni, who has been taking lessons from US-trained vocal coach Daniel Singh since 2005, hopes to be signed up to a USlabel to cut an album and then produce for other people.
Zul plans to release an EP soon, which will have beats solely from his mouth - without computer software or synthesisers - for other artistes to use in their music.
Beatboxing fans like Mr Ariffin Mohamed, 25, a freelance dancer, say they wouldn't mind paying for an album with beatboxing tracks because it's 'more interesting and unique'.
But others say it's still too niche for their taste.
Said undergraduate Eunice Kow, 22: 'It always amazes me whenever I hear people beatboxing... But the market for that scene is quite small.
'(Most people) would be in awe initially, but it will ultimately be just a novelty for them.'

Norah Jones - What Am I to You lyrics

What am I to you
Tell me darling true
To me you are the sea
Vast as you can be
And deep the shade of blue

When you're feeling low
To whom else do you go
See I cry if you hurt
I'd give you my last shirt
Because I love you so

If my sky should fall
Would you even call
Opened up my heart
I never want to part
I'm giving you the ball

When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
I love you when you're blue
Tell me darlin true
What am I to you

Yah well if my sky should fall
Would you even call
Opened up my heart
Never want to part
I'm giving you the ball

When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
Could you find a love in me
Could you carve me in a tree
Don't fill my heart with lies

I will you love when you're blue
Tell me darlin true
What am I to you
What am I to you
What am I to you

Lyrics for Song: Jesus, Take The Wheel

Lyrics for Album: Some Hearts

She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati

On a snow white Christmas Eve

Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat

Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline

It'd been a long hard year

She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention

She was going way to fast

Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass

She saw both their lives flash before her eyes

She didn't even have time to cry

She was sooo scared

She threw her hands up in the air
Jesus take the wheel

Take it from my hands

Cause I can't do this all on my own

I'm letting go

So give me one more chance

To save me from this road I'm on

Jesus take the wheel
It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder

And the car came to a stop

She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock

And for the first time in a long time

She bowed her head to pray

She said I'm sorry for the way

I've been living my life

I know I've got to change

So from now on tonight
Jesus take the wheel

Take it from my hands

Cause I can't do this all my own

I'm letting go

So give me one more chance

To save me from this road I'm on
Oh, Jesus take the wheel

Oh, I'm letting go

So give me one more chance

Save me from this road I'm on

From this road I'm on

Jesus take the wheel

Oh, take it, take it from me

Oh, why, oh

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas Lyrics

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.

Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.

hey there!
