my toilet's light is spoiled.. so i had to rely on the light outside the toilet, which is peaking through the glass panes above the door, to see where my shampoo is..
i prefer to use the toilet in the dark when i'm at home.. cos when you're sitted there nicely, i dun think one needs light to see his butt around.. maybe just some dim lighting bah...
bathing in the dark, or dim lighting, seems pretty alright too... i was kind of reminded of that japanese movie where a hand came out of nowhere and grasp the actress' hair while she was shampooing.... yeee... scary...
ok.. so much abt toilets and lights...
i think i will still be tapping the switch on everytime i m visiting the loo...
hahaha
well...think this has got to be one of my weirdest blogs
tonite's PRAISE NITE...

meanwhile gonna prepare myself alone with God for some time...
take care fellas

The time is now
when it's time for me to sing
when it's time for me to praise
when it's time for me to raise my banner high
and tell the world that You're more than life!
The time is now
to be transformed
to be renewed
In Your spirit
The time is now
to give you praise
to scream your fame
to shout your name
The time is now (to give You worship)
The time is now (to give You worship)
when it's time for me to sing
when it's time for me to praise
when it's time for me to raise my banner high
and tell the world that You're more than life!
The time is now
to be transformed
to be renewed
In Your spirit
The time is now
to give you praise
to scream your fame
to shout your name
The time is now (to give You worship)
The time is now (to give You worship)
Firstly, in the Bible, the original meaning of the word "now" is now, right now. Not 5 minutes ago, not 5 minutes later. Now is always now, so when we read "now" in the Bible, don't look at your watch, apply it to your life right now.
Now the Philistines gathered their forces for war and assembled at Socoh in Judah. They pitched camp at Ephes Dammim, between Socoh and Azekah. Saul and the Israelites assembled and camped in the Valley of Elah and drew up their battle line to meet the Philistines. (1 Sam 17:1-2, NIV)
Judah means "praised", and Socoh means "division". The enemy (the Philistines) tries to set up camp in the house of praise (church) to divide us. Azekah means "dig up" and Ephes Dammin, the place of the camp, means "do bodily damage".
One way the devil tries to divide and cause damage to the church (body of Christ), and also intimidate Christians, is to dig up their past mistakes.
The devil wants us to feel unworthy and useless, and tells us lies about what God thinks of us.
But the good news is about who I am becoming (like Christ) and not what I used to be like.
So tell the devil to "put a sock in it".
Goliath never fought David - he was all talk and show, with his mocking speech and impressive armour. ( 1 Samuel 17:8-11 ) Likewise, the devil can't fight us - all he can do is try to intimidate us. In the name of Jesus he is defeated. All of our enemies will one day have to fall prostrate, face-down, before the Lord and worship Him.
We need to go into the enemies camp and take back everything taken from us. All of the people, the power and the glory belong to God.

yea... i m dead tired... just came back from helping my dad at his stall...
sigh.... assignment due soon...
gotto rush in school liao.. hopefully wont need to stay in lab till late night...
oh ya... on my way back from my dad's stall... i was sitting alone at the back of the van...
it was a good time spent with God...
as i peeked through the curtain and watch the cars whizz by...
i thought to myself "i dont want time to just whizz by like tat... i should just spend some time with God"
then i began to just pray and talk to God...
Then i started humming some praise and worship songs...
soon i was singing at the back of the van alone...
keke.. i wonder if my dad could hear... cos u see... in between my dad who's driving and me are the big containers of watches... :P
kk...ya..back to wad i was saying..
its so wonderful spending time with God alone...
Such worship and time spent with God is definitely not restricted to Sunday service in church!
well....i may have lost that zeal pretty often in the past or too caught up in the things i do....
but hopefully, i pray that i will never cease this relationship with my heavenly Father...
never ever... :)

I'm still trembling all over last nite's experience with God.
It's a big shake out of the silent inner slumber inside me.
I'm glad i went despite knowing that i'll be physically tired after such a long day.
even sometimes at youth, i can already feel my energy seeping away..
It's a recharge, re-eye-opener.
i went there half excited at the thought of seeing the hillsong team, gain inspiration from the drummer(not sure yet if its luke munns..haha.. though his style is so Luke Munns!), listen to Tulele's rich voice..
and i got that but MORE....and MORE importantly, i got all excited about God!!
to a point i realised i didn't pay much attention to the team as i thought i would..haha
the focus is on Him!
such a recharge is good...
but long term wise... its the constant walk with God to keep us ever-recharged! :)
seriously praying that God will infect this kind of excitement into WAC... into Youth Fusion...
might not be through music... might be through any ways...i wont know...
not by our own strength.... but totally in submission to Him!!
not easy though! but we must!
kk.. i'm tired ler
shall go slp liao... good night... :)

Can't Stop Praising
Words and Music by Tulele Faletolu and Marty Sampson
Try to find the words
To express the way you are
But the beauty of the lord
Cannot be described in just one lifetime
Look at the sun over the seas
Look at your grace that covers me
Now I know
Yes I know
Now I know
I know your love has saved me
In the morning
I can't stop praising your name
In the evening
I can't stop praising your name
In the morning
I can't stop praising your name
In the evening
I can't stop
And I want you to know
Yes I want you to know
Oh yes I
Lord you're so amazing
Every word you say is true
Better than the finest treausre
So glad that I found you
You held me close
When I was down
Your world has turned my world around
Now I know
Yes I know
Now I know
I know how much I love you
Hallelujah
We praise your name
We praise your name

Jekyll & Hyde - Petra
I have a secret that I let nobody see
An evil shadow that's been hanging over me
My alter ego that I try to hold at bay
But despite my good intentions he could always get away
He does the things that I don't want to do
Sometimes I feel like Jekyll and Hyde
Two men are fighting a war inside
I have a secret that I let nobody see
It's like a split personality
And the one I feed is the one who lives
The one I starve will be the one who gives
He won't do things that I know I should do
Sometimes I feel like Jekyll and Hyde
Two Men are fighting a war inside
One gives, one takes, I have to decide
Sometimes I feel like... Jekyll and Hyde
I need somebody to rescue me
when personalities clash
I know which person I want to be
With no defiance, just God-reliance
