An Awesome 2010 :)

Thanksgiving for 2010

I'm actually doing this on my way to town on the train.I reckon I won't exactly have the time to sit down and do this on my (new) laptop so I'm doing it on my iPhone and email to myself and copy and paste. hehe.

Hmmm, for me, on a whole, 2010 has been awesome. Much better than 2009..
Highlights would definitely be my two BIG trips to UK and to Japan!
God has been good :)
Also, attending Asia Conference back in May, getting really stretched at work in the 3rd quarter of the year and having awesome friends around me.
Not forgetting, getting closer with my relatives (dad's side) in UK.
I remember ending 2009 and saying 2010 will be an awesome year and indeed it has been! I'm just really really thankful for everything that has happened this year.
To my family, my always most important people around me. Love you!
To my friends, those that are always close by, thank you.
To my Daddy in Heaven, thank YOU for a wonderful 2010. For keeping me safe while I'm away from home and for sustaining me when I wanted to give up.

Namely... Grace, Bear, Suat Wei, Joelle, most importantly, my besties - Min & Ying , thank you for always standing close by!! Love you all loads!

To 2011, may it be yet another awesome year! :)
May your 2011 be filled with SO MANY changes that it opens many doors of opportunities for you to amaze the people around you and yourself! :)

Cheers to 2011! (Gonna be in Penang! hehe :P)
God bless!
With love always! XOXO

Auld Lang Syne my dear friends :)



Jeremiah 29:11 (New Living Translation)
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

So long 2010...Hello 2011! :D

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! :D

WOOHOO!

Thank God the week is done
I feel like a zombie gone back to life (back to life)
Hands up, and suddenly we all got our hands up

Yeah, baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
So dance, dance, like it's the last, last night of your life, life

Not tomorrow that just right now, now, now, now, now, now
Gonna set the roof on fire





So if you're too school for cool,
And you're treated like a fool,
You can choose to let it go
We can always, we can always,
Party on our own

Party crasher, penny snatcher
Call me up if you a gangster
Don't be fancy
Just get dancey
Why so serious?

So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways
All my underdogs, we will never be, never be
Anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks

it's time to PARTYYYY!!! :D

adios~

American Music Awards 2010

was just looking through random videos on youtube on the AMAs.
thought this was the highlight performance of the night. like the choreography alot.



no doubt, Justin Bieber was the 'big' winner of the night. winning the most awards and also being the youngest person to have ever won the title of 'artist of the year'. big achievement for someone his age. i think Usher has really mentored him well. (this is how important it is for a person to have a mentor.)

inspired by MJ..

i just think he's a great kid. :)

and last but not least. my ALL TIME FAVOURITE BOYBAND! the boyband of ALL boybands!! haha! =p


cheerios ;)

Glee

i'm getting a little bored with Glee :(
as much as i'm a fan, think expectations are higher and i expect more from it.
anyway, i thought this is SUPER cute! the mini version of the cast. SO adorable!



and i'm looking forward to this episode! :)

Jay & Mario

i thought this was quite entertaining. haha!
Jay & Mario

More on MJ

Even after his death..people still want to know so much about him.
Quickly watch before they take the video down due to copyrights... :)

WHAT THE?!

be happy :)

Got this from wei's blog.
good read. :)

Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

aim high

extract from ODB - 08 November 2010


When my daughter and her family were in town for a visit, I had a chance to take my son and two sons-in-law out for a “guy” outing.

We decided that while the ladies were shopping, we would go to a firing range and practice shooting. We rented two pistols and took aim at our targets. While shooting, all four of us discovered that on one of the firearms the sight was set too low. If we aimed using that sight, we hit the bottom of the target. We had to aim high in order to hit anywhere near the bull’s-eye.

Isn’t life a lot like that? If we set our sights too low, we really don’t accomplish all that we can. Sometimes we have to aim high in order to reach a desired goal.
What should be our aim in life? How high should we point our ambitions? Well, since Scripture is our true guide, we will shoot for nothing but spiritual maturity. In fact, in Paul’s farewell to the people of Corinth, he said, “Aim for perfection” (2 Cor. 13:11 NIV). And we also have the high aim of these words from the lips of Jesus, “You shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect” (Matt. 5:48).

Perfection is a lofty target, and we won’t attain it in this life. But if we want to honor God and get close to that high goal, we need to aim high.

must watch!

this is only going to be out next year. but i'm SO GONNA WATCH! haha!

TWO

"Don't reserve your best behavior for special occasions. Youcan't have two sets of manners, two social codes -- one forthose you admire and want to impress, another for those whomyou consider unimportant. You must be the same to all people." -- Lillian Eichler Watson

Is the journey up or down tougher?

An extract from Mitch Albom's "For One More day"...

It's funny. I met a man once who did a lot of mountain climbing. I asked him which was harder, ascending or descending? He said without a doubt descending, because ascending you were so focused on reaching the top, you avoided mistakes.
"The backside of a mountain is a fight against human nature," he said. " You have to care as much about yourself on the way down as you did on the way up."
I could spend a lot of time talking about my life after baseball. But that pretty much says it.

food for thoughts... :)
- don't live in your past.
- be watchful of your steps no matter going up or sliding down.
- be careful of how you land so that you can take off again soon. :)

Just the way you are

bestie and i ^^

for those who grew up with their grandparents...
don't forget to spend time with the ones who love you the most. :)

Gary's latest music video
very touching.

me-day...

today was a me-day! :)

occassionally, i like these me-days where i can just do the things i wanna do and not think about other things.

my mom is away this weekend. she's on a company trip with everyone else at Bintan. *jealous!*

so anyways, i woke up this morning, feeling less sleep-deprived.

then i caught up with my US-serials.

my brother went down to buy us both brunch, then he headed out to work.

i decided to vacuum the house a little, following that, decided to clean up my desktop (on lappy). saved and backed-up all the shows and music etc like finally!

re-watched some movies (like keep fast-forwarding kind).

then my dad came home from work. he went to the kitchen to snack on some crackers. (hinting me that he's hungry, and i pretty much guessed he did not take lunch and is starving. )

so, i went to cook up dinner for everyone. asked my dad to dig in first cuz he was obviously very hungry. then took a shower cuz i stink after all the cooking.

brother came back from work with his girlfriend. they ate. i ate later.

watched tv for awhile. and now. i'm blogging with a cup of chamomile tea next to me with my itunes playing in the background.

ooooh. feeling a little tired but blissful. little things of life.

think i'm ready for bed anytime soon.

will do a little reading before i snooze off. cheerios! :)

was looking through pics while organising and i found this. taken earlier in Wales, UK in the Cardiff Castle. :)

la la la la la~

it's been a week or two of posting songs with much positivity :)
work is getting much better. thank you for all who showered love and concern. :)
work organisation is gonna be experiencing a HUGE structure change. have no idea how that is gonna affect me. i will only make decisions in january. :) cuz it's kinda pointless to think about it now. :)

right now, i'm only extremely excited for my coming holly and spending a week with my besties in 6 weeks! woots! XD

hmm, have been reading up on 1 timothy. loads of personal reflections. things that i could have handled better (i feel). all in good time :) well, everytime you feel you have learned everything, you get hit with something new that makes you reconsider that 'arrogance'.

well, now that work is getting better or i am getting used to the load. it's time to meet up and catch up with people :)

i leave you with something that Ps Tan preached at service today.

the plot is about after Jesus' resurrection, his disciples' responses.
they didn't believe till they saw.

Seeing and Believing

24 Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.
25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.”
So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.”
26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!”
27 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”
28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

That You May Believe

30 And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.

how do you think Jesus felt when His disciples didn't believe that He has resurrected on the third day? till they saw him. and Thomas, who was the last to witness even wanted to touch and feel Him before he knew clearly, that He has resurrected.

hmmm, i just find that really sad. after spending three years in ministry with them. they still didnt understand.

apply it to our daily lives. sometimes, we really don't understand the things we have to go through, the crap and nonsense. you don't wanna believe that you have to take those rubbish. in due time, you will realise why. really. :)
don't ask "why you", ask "how is it gonna help you become a better/useful/contributing person." cuz usually when you ask "why", it makes a person more depressed than encouraged. right? ;)
we often stubbornly want to know answers immediately.
maybe it's time to just let nature take its course. you will find and get the answer when you're ready for it. :) have you ever considered if you knew all answers in advance, you never know the potential you possess. things that amazes yourself at the end of the day ;)

ok. think it's getting jumbled up. just typing out my train of thoughts.
i'll go now.
have a good week ahead! :)

much love from me :)
GBU :)

Keep going! :)

Down(Down), Down(Down), Down(Down), Down(Down)

Here I am with all these questions hanging from my ceiling low
And one day they'll keep telling me I told you so
Everywhere I turn I see red lights flashing over my head
Oh no, oh no, oh no
In a whirl-wind spinning yeah somehow it knocked me off my feet
But I know better than to let it get the best of me,
I could give up, I could stay stuck, or I could move on

So I put one foot front of the other,
No no no nothing's gonna break my stride,
I keep climbing, gonna keep fighting until I make it to the other side of down

In the sky, Im standing under all I see is endless rain
I think I spot a silver light hiding in the grey
I might get tossed around, but I'm always bouncing back
oh.oh.oh
I could give up, I could stay stuck, or I could move on,

On the other side of down
It keeps calling me
Where I wanna be
On The other side of down
it keeps calling me
where I wanna be
where I wanna be

Everything will be alright! :)

more positive songs coming your way! :)

Jonas Brothers - Chillin in the Summertime Lyrics

It was a beautiful day
I throw my worries away
Nothing new just the same old same
so imma start a new page

I turn the radio on
and it's my favorite song
It's so good to sing along
and it feels so right this can't be wrong

I just want a good time
Oh oh
I don't wanna fuss and fight, no
Life's too short to waste time
Oh no
Every little thing's gonna be alright

[Chorus]
Cause we're chillin in the summertime
not a cloud in the sky
Everybody's feeling fine
and everything will be alright
Cause we're soaking up the sweet sunshine
not a worry on my mind
Everybody's feeling fine
and everything will be alright

There's a party tonight
where the moon shines bright
Bring your friends and I'll bring mine
it feels so good to be alive

When the night is cool
baby girl there's just me and you
There's only one thing left to do
and that's play this song for you cause

I just want a good time
Oh oh
I don't wanna fuss and fight, no
Life's too short to waste time
Oh no
Every little thing's gonna be alright

[Chorus]

And in the morning we gon' rise
(we gonna rise)
Trials and tribulations pass us by
(pass us by)
Ooh, so don't you worry love is waiting on the other side
Every little thing's gonna be alright

[Chorus]

(It's gonna be alright)
Cause we're chillin in the summertime
(It's gonna be alright)
not a cloud in the sky
Everybody's feeling fine
and everything will be alright

Cause we're chillin in the summertime
not a cloud in the sky
(not a cloud)
Everybody's feeling fine
and everything will be alright

Up

a segment from the american tail :)


"This is America,the place to find the hope."
"If you give up,you will never find you family"
"So never say never,say"

Never say never,what ever you do
Never say never,my friend
(But I real...)
If you be that,your dream will come true.
They will come true in the end.
(But I...)
Keep up your courage,don't ever despair
Take heart and then count to ten
Hope for the best
Work for the rest and never say never again

"But it's impossible.I'll never find my family."
"Never say never,say that,go on"
Never say never,whatever you do
Never say never to me
If you be,if you come shining through
That's how it's gonna be
"Perfect"
Remember to look on the bright side
Until then never say never again

"How are you ready to go and find your family?"
"Yes"
"Chantal,take my little friend through immigration"
"You'll find your family there"
"Everybody goes through immigration"
"I would take you there myself"
"But then I would never finish my statue"
"But you say never!"
"Oh!So I did!"

Never say never,never say never again..

The Chilean Miners

taken from CNA
Jubilation as last miner emerges safely from Chile mine
Rescue of trapped Chilean miners reaches final stages

have a read. :)

" "I congratulate you because you did your duty, leaving last like a ship's captain," Pinera told Urzua, "(last person out)

"Their salvation triggered a global, shared sense that human ingenuity, this time, had cheated death and that hope had triumphed, amazingly, over fear and disaster."

"The miners' relatives, camped at the entrance to the mine, cheered and wept as each escape was captured by the cameras of 2,000 international journalists.Several of the families, who had already welcomed back their loved ones from the pit, said they would not leave until all 33 miners were hauled up."We're going to stay until the last," said Florencio Avalos's father Alfonso, waiting for his other son, Renan, still among the miners to be rescued.The miners themselves hope the worldwide attention on their ordeal will deliver them lucrative sponsorship and movie deals so they can live comfortably - many hoping they never have to enter a mine again."

three cheers to excellent spirits in humanity!
and may the miners recover soonest! :)

Happy Days Are Here To Stay!

i thought this was a beautiful cover from the latest Glee episode. :)
Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer) and Rachel Berry (Lea Michelle) singing Happy Days are Here Again



Lyrics:
Forget your troubles
Happy days
C'mon get happy
Are here again
You better chase all your cares away
The skies above are clear again
Shout hallelujah
So let's sing a song
C'mon get happy
Of cheer again
Get ready for the judgement day
Happy days are here again.

The sun is shining
C'mon get happy
Shout it now there's no one
The lord is waitin to take your hand
Who can, doubt it now
Shout hallelujah
So let's tell the world
And just get happy
About it now
We're going to the promise land
Happy days are here again.

We're heading cross the river
Soon your cares will all be gone
There'll be no more from now on
From now on...

Forget your troubles
Happy days
And just get happy
Are here again
You better chase all your cares away
The skies above are clear again
Shout hallelujah
So let's sing a song
And just get happy
Of cheer again
Happy times!
Happy times!
Happy nights!
Happy nights!
Happy days! Are-here-again!

Things I Would Say...

Three in the morning,
And I'm still awake,
So I picked up a pen and a page,
And I started writing,
Just what I'd say,
If we were face to face,
I'd tell you just what you mean to me,
I'd tell you these simple truths,

Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know,
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray,
These are the words I would say,

Last time we spoke,
You said you were hurting,
And I felt your pain in my heart,
I want to tell you,
That I keep on praying,
Love will find you where you are,
I know cause I've already been there,
So please hear these simple truths,

From one simple life to another,
I will say,
Come find peace in the Father,

:)))

-random me-

who am i living for

katy perry - who am i living for

Yeah eh yeah yeah

I can feel a phoenix inside of me
As I march alone to a different beat
Slowly swallowing down my fear, yeah yeah

I am ready for the road less traveled
Suiting up for my crowning battle
This test is my own cross too bare
But I will get there

It’s never easy to be chosen, never easy to be called
Standing on the frontline when the bomb starts to fall
I can see the heavens but I still hear the flames
Calling out my name

I can see the writing on the wall
I can’t ignore this war
At the eh-end of it all
Who am I living for?

I can feel this lightness inside of me
Growing fast into a bolt of lightning
I know one spark will shock the world, yeah yeah

So I pray for a favour like Esther
I need your strength to handle the pressure
I know there will be sacrifice
But that’s the price

It’s never easy to be chosen, never easy to be called
Standing on the frontline when the bomb starts to fall
I can see the heavens but I still hear the flames
Calling out my name

I can see the writing on the wall
I can’t ignore this war
At the eh-end of it all
Who am I living for?

I can see the writing on the wall
I can’t ignore this war
At the eh-end of it all
Who am I living for?

At the end, at the end
Who am I living for?
At the end, at the end
Who am I living for?

Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Don’t let the greatness get you down
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Don’t let the greatness get you down, oh, oh yeah

I can see the writing on the wall
I can’t ignore this war
At the eh-end of it all
Who am I living for?

I can see the writing on the wall
I can’t ignore this war
At the eh-end of it all
Who am I living for?

At the end, at the end
Who am I living for?
At the end, at the end
Who am I living for?

music through borders

same tune, same attitude. i like :) keep it positive people! :)




cheers XD

Sting - Brand New Day

i've been seeing alot of 'brand new day' titles (2 actually) haha!
maybe its trying to tell me something. haha! :P
heard this while watching hellcats ;p



How many of you people out there
Been hurt in some kind of love affair
And how many times do you swear that you'll never love again?

How many lonely, sleepless nights
How many lies, how many fights
And why would you want to put yourself through all that again?

"Love is pain," I hear you say
Love has a cruel and bitter way
Of paying you back for all the faith you ever had in your brain

How could it be that what you need the most
Can leave you feeling just like a ghost?
You never want to feel so sad and lost again

One day you could be looking
Through an old book in rainy weather
You see a picture of her smiling at you
When you were still together
You could be walking down the street
And who should you chance to meet
But that same old smile that you've been thinking of all day

You can turn the clock to zero, honey
I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money
We're starting up a brand new day

Turn the clock all the way back
I wonder if she'll take me back
I'm thinking in a brand new way

Turn the clock to zero, sister
You'll never know how much I missed her
Starting up a brand new day

Turn the clock to zero, boss
The river's wide, we'll swim across
Started up a brand new day

It could happen to you - just like it happened to me
There's simply no immunity - there's no guarantee
I say love's such a force - if you find yourself in it
And sometimes no reflection is there

Baby wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute

Turn the clock to zero, honey
I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money
We're starting up a brand new day

Turn the clock to zero, Mac
I'm begging her to take me back
I'm thinking in a brand new way

Turn the clock to zero, boss
The river's wide, we'll swim across
Started up a brand new day

Turn the clock to zero buddy
Don't wanna be no fuddy duddy
Started up a brand new day

I'm the rhythm in your tune
I'm the sun and you're the moon
I'm a bat and you're the cave
You're the beach and I'm the wave
I’m the plow and you’re the land
You're the glove and I'm the hand
I'm the train and you're the station
I'm a flagpole to your nation - yeah

Stand up all you lovers in the world
Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl
Stand up all you lovers in the world
Starting up a brand new day

I'm the present to your future
You're the wound and I’m the suture
You're the magnet to my pole
I'm the devil in your soul
You're the pupil I'm the teacher
You're the church and I'm the preacher
You're the flower I'm the rain
You're the tunnel I'm the train

Stand up all you lovers in the world
Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl
Stand up all you lovers in the world
Starting up a brand new day

You're the crop to my rotation
You're the sum of my equation
I'm the answer to your question
If you follow my suggestion
We can turn this ship around
We'll go up instead of down
You're the pan and I'm the handle
You're the flame and I'm the candle

Stand up all you lovers in the world
Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl
Stand up all you lovers in the world
We're starting up a brand new day

that glee-britney episode

if you're a gleek like me, you'll keep up to date with the episodes. haha. and by-the-ways, the american-serials are back! everyone is like keeping up with SO MANY shows!
back to the latest episode, was tweeting that the latest episode, kind of like a tribute to Britney kinda thing.
i am SO convinced that Britney numbers are best performed by the lady herself. it's just so weird to hear others performing it. slightly uncomfy even. think guys should not do Britney numbers. haha!
anyway, they ended with a non-britney song(which i'm kind of grateful for. haha!)
thought this rendition was..heart-warming/hooking. :) have a listen. :)

Paramore's "The Only Exception" shown on GLEE :)

Bruno Fever

he's gonna make it big someday. super talented.









can't wait for his new album. am quite sure it's gonna be awesome. :)

Watch And Pray

am very blessed by Ps ARBernard with what he shared last weekend.

a timely sharing :)

Matthew 26:41 (NIV)
Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak

one of the spiritual discipline is prayer.
why do we have to establish a consistent prayer life?
it's not those random moments of the day where you look up and pray. prayers like 'God, please let me catch that train' or 'God, grant me the strength to last through the day' or 'God, thank you for that.'
It should be a set-aside time, an allocated time just for HIM.
Why?
1) Prayer builds focus
2) Prayer developes concentration
- you will know that often, we felt like an hour has passed but in actual fact, only 5 minutes have gone by. haha.
3) Prayer fosters humility
- you humble before Him, to seek Him, for counsel, knowing you have no one else to turn to when you're desperate. That is why, often, kneeling down is the 'position' people get into when they pray.
4) Prayer fosters a dependency on God
5) Prayer builds compassion for others in your life
Prayer is what we call, communicating or relating to Him. :)

why do we then have to watch and pray?
often, we pray for what we want. we don't even know if that's what's destined for us. so we have to watch. (not stare at people when they pray.)
what then do we have to watch out for?

1) watch our thoughts, they lead to our words.
- our words create or become our world
2) watch our words, they become our actions.
3) watch our actions, they turn to our habits.
4) watch your habits, they build your character.
5) watch our character, they lead us to our destiny.

kinda like 'be quick to listen, slow to speak'

all things lead to another. see how it links? you probably heard it before. have you remembered? this is really timely for me. (especially the 'watch' part)
what are your thoughts now? be wary. it leads to your destiny. is that the kind of life/destiny you wanna have?

food for thoughts :)


have been looping this song the whole day. X)
hope you're as blessed as me :) so thankful he's (Ps ARB) one of our spiritual dads :)

you just gotta ignite the light and let it shine!

this is currently my new favourite song!
so encouraging! so positive!
have a look at the lyrics!



Fireworks - Katy Perry
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting throught the wind
Wanting to start again

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in

Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that tehre's still a chance for you
Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on slet your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on slet your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em goin "Oh, oh, oh!"

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

the shows are back

yay! i'm gonna start catching loads of serials!
tues-Gossip girl
wed-glee
thurs-hell cats & mischievious kiss
fri-vampire diaries & mischievious kiss
other days-catch up on variety shows and maybe some drama and my books!!

work just sucks by the day! it's the people around me at work that keeps me going.
cheering and pushing each other on.
one of the colleague went on 2 weeks leave for a holiday. (everyone is entitled to leaves rite?)
one temp gone back to school.
perm person have yet to come in. heard she's coming in mid-october.
so yups. you counted right, we're short of 3 people! argh!
brings me to think of something Daniel Ong tweeted.
"If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are really good, you will get out of it. "
some management level bosses have or are going to be leaving. guess this best describes them. and these are the people who have been kind of looking after our welfare. hais...

well, it's nearing end of sep. we're stepping into the last quarter of 2010.
Time to think forward for some plans in 2011.
come what may, it'll all work out. (faith)
gonna have to also spend some time in my personal closet and connect with the heart, mind and soul.

x.o.x.o
-me-

btw, have you heard and seen this?!


SUPER SWEET CAN!
till the day, a prince i can call my own sings this to me. this is niceeee! :)

Verse 1:
Give me eyes to see
More of who You are
May what I behold,
still my anxious heart.
Take what I have known
And break it all apart
For You my God, are greater still.

CHORUS
No sky contains,
No doubt restrains,
All You are,
The greatness of our God.
I spend my life to know,
And I'm far from close
To all You are,
The greatness of our God.

Verse 2:
Give me grace to see
Beyond this moment here.
To believe that there
Is nothing left to fear.

That You alone are high above it all.
For You my God, are greater still.

CHORUS 2x
No sky contains,
No doubt restrains,
All You are,
The greatness of our God.
I spend my life to know,
And I'm far from close
To all You are,
The greatness of our God.

Brigde: 2x
And there is nothing
That can ever separate us.
There is nothing that can ever
separate us from Your love.
No life, no death, of this I am convinced.
You my God, are greater still.

2x:
And no words can say, or song convey,
all You are the greatness of our God.
I spend my life to know,
And I'm far from close
to all You are,
the greatness of our God.

taboo fun

forgot to include this in yesterday's post. shall do it now before i head out again later for a day of fun ;p

went to haatos to hang out and we decided to play some games that were available there.

one of it was taboo (singapore version) and we were SO impressed by Clarence and how fast his brain works. hahaa!

so here goes, some taboo fun :)

description:
1) this is something that we have at home, sometimes people use it as a bad word too.
2) what is on the 21st of July?
3) after people plan something, they usually end it with this word
4) what do you call a black dot on your face?
5) when did you say racial harmony day was?
6) heaven is usually spelt this way wrongly and becomes this word because it's short of a letter.
7) a lingerie line that ends with an exclaimation mark.

just some i remembered. ;)
answers in next post :)
post answers in tagbox or something ;p

and to end off, Bruno Mars' latest music video. another talented artiste.

Bruno Mars - New Music - More Music Videos

since the last update(i checked), my grand-aunt was in town. this is all my grand aunts and uncles :) the lady in the brown and green top is my grams! :) so there was a day we brought them to the zoo :) thanks to the teacher-cuzzie (who managed to get the corporate card) so we went in for free! hehe :P yay! using one of the app on my phone :)

i don't know what i was doing. i was thinking of sheltering the bear. haha! :P

made my cousin pose with the white tiger. haha. cuz she's born in the year of the tiger.

on that same day, Mathias came out of his mommy and greeted the world hello! :)

then, had a couple of farewell-dinners with various groups of people for lijia.

attended Joel's 21st. He's a darling i tell you :) even Ying thinks so :) a blessing. and saw many other juniors whom i have not seen for awhile. missed their company :)

and then, had a quite a few CGMs at my place. this was taken when we celebrated Ruby's and Deborah's bday :)

we also had a very very successful steamboat! :) cheers! :)

then, met up my darling besties. Ying's flying off to Japan for work (to teach) for a year (for now). decided to have some 'singaporean' breakkie :)

decided to also celebrate min's bday! :)

there was also the world-cup frenzy! :)

OH HAPPY DAY! :)

the SOT alumni doing up an item. how big SOT has become! :))

ok. this is quite an update :) i hope you're as satisfied as me. hur hur.

well, not exactly an update if you follow on FB and twitter. :p

updates at work, PTL, we had the delayed july bonus update. not alot though (compared to the rig crews. :( ) but, anyways, better than none at all. i'm seriously considering leaving next year. i shall see how. see if any arrangements can be made for some things i wanna do next year. if not, i'll just leave.

hmmm, the colleague on mc is back. so that leaves with one more perm position to be filled. heard some things. hopefully it won't take too long for that person to come in. then i should be fine. OT-ing every alternate day kind of thing. so that i can clear work. the work is not tough, it's just time consuming. with loads of phone-calls in between, it just annoys me. i'm quite impressed with myself so far actually. haha. all in the good hands of the Lord. :)

oh ya! met up with Joce and Lia for lunch one of the days! :) Lia's back after being 3 months in the states! hehe :)))

and erm, my cousin's boy (my nephew) fell down and broke his hand i think. still trying to figure out what exactly happened that he had to have a surgery done. but his arm is in a cast. so yups. will be heading to my cousin's place for dinner later and i can see all of them :) yay!

ok. that's about all i'm gonna update for this post. :)
