My grandma was trying to get used to dialing on her mobile phone, and I guess my granddad got bored.
(in Hokkien)
Granddad: Try calling home lah!
Grandma: Okay lah, you listen then.
-dials home-
Granddad: -answers home phone- Hello?
Grandma: Hi!
Granddad: What are you doing?
Grandma: I'm at the market. You?
Granddad: I'm sitting quietly at home. You have to come back soon and help me walk back to my room.
Grandma: Yeah lah. Yati's coming today.
Granddad: Yati ah?
Grandma: Yah. Be good ah.
Granddad: Yah yah.
Grandma: Ok. Bye-bye.
Granddad: Bye.
-they hang up-
HAHAHA AWW :)
And she's been coming to my room at 10-minute intervals to ask me how to dial again. Haha.

In this world there is a place where dreams are born
and aspirations remain in the sky
There is a haven where stars will shine and never fade away
In each of us
there is a child (x2)
there is a friend (x2)
that we will take in hand
we believe that we have come together
to realise the dreams we cherish
Reach out, do not ever be afraid
We'll be there, just right behind
Stand tall, look up at the skies again
brave the rain, keep the faith
Looking back at times we shared
at dreams we've dreamt,
at memories we have had all these years
We've come to care and love each other
through the laughter and tears
Reach out, do not ever be afraid
We'll be there, just right behind
Stand tall, look up at the skies again
brave the rain, keep the faith
In us
- Dare To Dream, PB

Riding through the roads with my hair flying across my face.
Sandwiched between two adults - "squished between two fat bodies", my aunt said - and feeling like the cold was another little body sitting in front of me, a freezing infant pulling at my wrists for warmth whom I wanted to hold tightly and make not-so-cold again.
Midnight. Stepping off the boat, marvelling at the russet sky.
Watching how every light in the big city stokes the fire in the sky. A woman's phone rings - Canon in D, by Pachelbel. Realising that any human with earmuffs and sunglasses could find that, for such a beautiful piece of music, it is understandable - or inevitable - that something has to die.
Thinking how, for this sort of self-obsessed person, it is understandable and also inevitable that Someone has to die. Ah, Dieu, Dieu.

Oh wow, look it's October.
I've been having clear, unsettling dreams. One of which was me looking over my shoulder at someone's smses. Unsettling. I should have a dream camcorder.
Speaking of which, I was thinking of Kitty Pryde and her awesome go-through-the-wall mutant powers and I was wondering if it'll be possible to go into someone's dreams. Or something along the lines of crossing the reality into the...subreality. The subconscious, the Id, the surreal. Something like that. It was during math-fever, actually, so my brain conjures relieving hallucinations to prevent itself from overheating.
Ok, back to frying more brain cells. S, get over your mid-teen, everything's-uncool phase and post soon. D:

Pourquoi l'amour semble-t-il comme un champ de bataille?
Cache-moi dans l'asile de Ton amour
Au centre de Ton coeur, mon Seigneur
Que je veux Te connaître mieux, mon Dieu
Tiens-moi dans l'ombre de Tes ailes
A l'endroit secret de Ta sainteté
Que j'ai besoin de Toi de plus en plus

The cookie mold stays firm but the cookie crumbles within.
Also, monsters who don skins should be outlawed. The End.
Something funnier - The difference between involvement and commitment is like ham and eggs. The chicken is "involved"; the pig is "committed".

No love lost between the world and I.

Bonjour! :)
Nous sommes chez Rayne.
Nous nous amusons (?) par www.youtube.com et il n'y a personne qui sait ce que j'écris. Ca m'amuse le plus.
There was a child on top of peak hill When the day was young and the sky was a sill Then floodwaters came and the year took ill.

I don't think we're ever the type of people to be satisfied with a simple life.
Something which I will be having on loop for the next few weeks:

Don't forget your friends.
I mean, even though YOU. will never see this, you're still a whole lot better off than a great many people. At least you have people who care about you. And the hurt you go through now still does Not. Give you the right to take anyone for granted.
This is just a short message dedicated to the bunch of people who are having tough times and, fortunately, are completely ignorant of this combined blog's existence.
God, help me.

I haven't posted in eons (except yest), but I feel today that I ought to.
LYnC grad party was... I don't know about how other people felt, but it was special for me. Hearing Dara, Kenneth, Charissa and Sherman go up there and speak about what LYnC meant to them and how God used them, it made me want to understand what God has in store for me. Like we were saying, we've individually drifted and I don't know how to start getting back.
But maybe this is the way it has to be, strange and confusing and difficult and impossible to cope with individually. I don't want to do it on my own.
My God, my Saviour, has ransomed me
And I'm glad that this happened. And I'm glad we had deco and even that I left tablecloths in the NT because I need to learn. And I'm not there yet, yet. But I'm ready to let God. I'm glad I knew - know - them :) and I wish them all the best in YA.
And like a flood, His mercy reigns
because what else is faith made for, but the blindness. And what else does it hold to but the truth of the light. And what else were we expecting when we asked, "LORD, give us faith", but for this?
Unending love, amazing grace
'S amazing
Majesté, on chante Majesté
Votre grâce nous trouvait telle que nous sommes
Ayant rien mais vivant entre vos mains
(merci)

HAHA - Blogger seems like SUCH a foreign entity to me now. Where are my nice tags, my emoticons, my display pictures?
Still - some things we must uphold, including combined blogs.
(:
Oh goodness - Mraz was awesome, and if I had any doubts/hesitations REST ASSURED, I am a complete Mraz fan now. Brilliant performance much? I feel like collecting all his live performances and religiously studying them - maybe I can write a thesis on his performances, aha.
And - things are happening fast! I can't believe it, but I'm really happy, if not a little harassed.
