i'll miss you 2006

2006.
you've given me so so many opportunities. i can't say that i did the best i could with them, but i tried - half-heartedly perhaps?
ah there were disappointments, but i've also learnt how to pick myself up almost immediately and thank God for what He has given me and the prayers that He answered.
i could spend whats left of this year regretting what i could have done better, for example the people i could have impacted and the projects i could have put in more effort into, but i guess i should stop rueing my mistakes and decide what i should become in the next season of my life.


2007.
my priorities! Relationship with God, Serving in church, friends and family, studies, band. thats the way it should be! especially in serving God, i dont think i have done enough. i guess its time to sacrifice other things for Him. A levels also must pia :( and i want to make sure our SYF dream of Gold With Honours will come to pass! i will improve!
selfish indulgence should be few and far between, maybe twice a month? haha.

oh and leadership! STAGE BAND! i have big dreams for it! but thoughts are useless unless put into action(and i'm quite bad at that).
also pray that i'll be a hyped-up and responsible OGL during orientation and perhaps convince ppl to join band :x

and the dreaded national service. ARGH i really think i'll suffer inside. hope i get into civil service or sth more slack de ._.



wah this post is really serious. but what to do.. new year's resolutions! 2007 awaits!
a very very happy and blessed new year to all!

a christmas with love

what more is there to say?
i searched far and wide, for some inspiration and delight. but for all the wonders that the information age can bring, it only leaves me with that familiar ring.

what is christmas all about? is it just gifts and turkey and ham? or a time when we can meet up with friends? yes its about Jesus, our saviour. love wrapped in skin.
but its also about the healing of gaping wounds, left to fester with the passage of time.
a deep gash in your soul, a fear untold, unrealised?
it is an investment of your entire self without expecting any returns.
it is music within your heart, an inimitable melody.

i've heard all this far too much until it has all become cliche.
set me free and let me experience the magic of christmas, pretty please.

A Fool for You

"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."

Your love, its like a mighty river. You've shown me things i would have never dreamed of - I've never felt so close to you before. Like a phoenix rising from its ashes, you saved me from myself, gave me a fresh anointing and taught me priceless lessons. I am part of this new generation!
But now, I've been brought back down to earth, in this depraved and fallen world. Give me the strength to run this race, and never let me go. I will be a friend, a warrior. I will be a King!

EMERGE 10-13dec

You and I, together forever
Nothing can stand in the way
My love for You, grows stronger each new day
I`ve fallen deeply in love with You

You have stolen my heart
I`m captivated by You
Never will you and I part
I`ve fallen deeply in love with You

And my heart's prayer is that you'll take me away, Jesus. in body and spirit i shall go on a journey to find you once again.

and so the hound weaves the final chapter in this tale of life

I GOT DIRGE OF CERBERUS:FINAL FANTASY VII!
lol okay who cares.. doubt i have time to play anyway.

the Lam insights on bangkok:

*i didnt find any pretty transvestites. (or maybe i just didnt notice that the pretty ones were.)
i thought i could take it but seeing the pastiche of manly and womanly features on one person made me pretty traumatised by the second day :x nightmares abound!
*if you thought traffic in Singapore is bad, bangkok is one big traffic jam. traffic jams occur anytime and anywhere, even during non-peak hours. and walking may be faster, but not advisable! they dont need the haze to make the PSI at least 100!

okay la enough of complaining,
*shopping was great. basically its classified into 3 cats - street markets, mid ranged and high-end shopping malls. the high-end malls can beat vivocity anytime! and poor dad had to keep up with us as we scooted everywhere to buy our stuff. ahhh the things were really cheap but kinda hard to find really nice clothes cuz you dunno where to start.
*i love thai food :D
*thai girls are super pretty!!!!!! (sorry im stereotyping haha) infatuations last approximately 15min only though.


ahhh this is my only free week! must chiong sleep and... perhaps homework hohoho.
