there must be more than this

生活在他方

Mon, 14 Jun 2010 06:26:43 GMT

若人在他方甚至找不到願望
日常和自己捉迷藏誰祝福我安康
若人在他方就算伸手不及岸
便懷念父親胸膛讓身心堅壯

我或會心灰意冷但眼影蓋過淚光
會為我寫封信嗎就算寄失都要寄
就算信紙淚難乾

原來在遠方都總會有星光
原來用心看路邊總會有風光
原來在遠方心只要你守望
疲倦的面容即使沒化妝
能學識耐寒終於會茁壯

有时候，华语真的比较。。。会感动 =）
所剩的时间不多，the final lap in fact! gonna miss being an overseas uni student. however, in more ways than one, it does feel that it's someone else's turn now. a bit like, my time is up here. now someone else should have this opportunity to: learn, love, laugh, grow. (crap, can't think of a synonym for grow which starts with L). thank You and you.s.

God of Justice

Wed, 10 Feb 2010 15:46:23 GMT

God of Justice, Saviour to all
Came to rescue the weak and the poor
Chose to serve and not be served

Jesus, You have called us
Freely we've received
Now freely we will give

We must go live to feed the hungry
Stand beside the broken
We must go
Stepping forward keep us from just singing
Move us into action
We must go

To act justly everyday
Loving mercy in every way
Walking humbly before You God

You have shown us, what You require
Freely we've received
Now freely we will give

We must go live to feed the hungry

Stand beside the broken
We must go
Stepping forward keep us from just singing
Move us into action
We must go

Fill us up and send us out
Fill us up and send us out
Fill us up and send us out Lord (x4)

Acting humbly
Loving mercy
We must go, we must go
To the broken
And the hurting
We must go, we must go

We must go live to feed the hungry
Stand beside the broken
We must go
Stepping forward keep us from just singing
Move us into action
We must go

Micah 6:8, "And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."

kings will surrender their crowns and worship Jesus

saw this posted on FB. nice nice NICE! i'm so glad that when Christ was born, God sent His angels to shepherds to proclaim the good news. shepherds, who were the poorest in the agricultural system. shepherds, who were so poor, that they had to work night shift. i'm so glad that Christ wasn't born in a palace, or even a mansion, or even a proper home. i'm so glad that He was born in a manger. it sounds wrong, but i'm also glad that when Christ was born, the first smell that reached His nose was the smell of probably horses' dung. i'm so glad that he was wrapped in swaddling cloths, not with silk or other haughty and expensive materials. because to me, it shows that the poor has a special place in God's heart. Christ identifies with the poor. and to quote that Bono guy, God is with the poor. and God is with us if we're with them. Psalm 72: For He will deliver the needy when he cries, The poor also, and him who has no helper. He will spare the poor and needy, And will save the souls of the needy. He will redeem their life from oppression and violence; And precious shall be their blood in His sight.

El Shaddai, God of grace

this song gives me the chills, which means it's really good, since it's so super hot now, anything that can make my room feel less like an oven is warmly welcomed.

making everything beautiful again.

"Hope you are doing alright. Take care, eat yummy food, rest, sit in the sunshine whenever it happens, put your feet up after you have washed them or else they'll be smelly and people around will run away, sing silly songs and stay in your pyjamas the whole day and lastly study hard. :D"

this was sent to my inbox today. and i think, i don't mind growing up to become like her. =)

i need to cut my nails.

counting my blessings

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 13:34:09 GMT

today was such a day:

where a giant was actually a mouse. but i really thank God for giving us the wisdom! to get through it. and i really wonder how i even managed to say all those things. but i did. and i thank God for it. i thank God that no one asked me about chi-square. but i know that even if we messed up our presentations, even if everyone thought that our designs were crap, it still doesn't take away who we are in Christ. and when i measure everything else up against that, seriously, nothing else can measure up.

and i've found a new hairdresser!! to think she lives just next door! haha. but finally, i can SEE again. thanks Aman!! i think you were born to be a dance teacher and a hairdresser. hahaha. ha.

and over MSN tonight, i got to see the family again. the family being themselves again. it's been quite a while since i last spoke to them. and it's just funny to see my dad go, "wth wth wth". and all of us laughing over nothing. and i think my first meal in SG when i touch down, would be at CHOMPCHOMP. YAYYAYAYYAYAYAY. although i still prefer the other hokkien mee, outside CC, but no reason to be fussy! and it looks like everyone is pretty excited about the new temporary place and the new place =D including me =) and yeah, no MSN video call would be complete without my mum updating me about the latest news. i think my uncles and etc lead more 'exciting' lives than me =S but their kind of excitement,,,i think i would much rather lead a sedentary lifestyle. haha.

and yah lah, nothing much lah.

today's lecture at stuttering was about how our thoughts affect our feelings, which in turn affect our behaviour?
and it totally reminded me of: as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.

nothing much lah,

but still glad =)

i know that the next few weeks will be like, crazy! but erm......................................................................................

He gives me the strength that i need.

what's at the other end?

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 01:12:56 GMT

for years, people have been wondering:
what's at the end of the rainbow?
a pot of gold?

i think they may be right, for i've found not just one pot of gold, but FIVE.

here's what's on the other end of my rainbow:

thanks for compiling the CDs to provide us with good entertainment on the road!
and thanks for remembering to include LEE HOM. hahaha. thanks for everything!!

thanks for picking up the car & sending the car back! thanks for driving!!
thanks for waking me up this morning, sigh, too bad it rained! thanks for everything!!

thanks for being our road advisor! haha. and thanks for being patient with EDNA.
thanks for everything!!

thanks for picking up & returning the car! thanks for letting me rest from your abuse for ONE day.
sigh, i shall look forward to that day again, next year. thanks for everything!!

thanks for telling me, "I hope you'll be free and one day live the life you've always wanted and dreamt of living."
i felt like crying when i read that. heh! thanks for everything!!

maybe i've been feeling like the "boston" song for a long time now

can't share their original video, which is really cool. love all the pianos. it's like a scene from my dream.

but i know that this is a lie. a lie that everything will be fine once i'm...somewhere else.

and this feeling of wanting to run away from....i don't even know what i'm running away from, it will come back, again and again. even if i'm home. even if i'm here. even if i'm in boston. and i guess my way of dealing with issues by avoiding them has to change.

but i know God has been speaking to me, especially over the weekend and yesterday too. patience, patience. let patience have its perfect work, that i may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. but thank You Lord, for remaining faithful, when we're so faithless.

shall end off with a quote from Corrie Ten Boom:
"when a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don't throw away the ticket and jump off. you sit still and trust the engineer".

so i'll sit still and trust, trust, trust the author and finisher of my faith.

because it's Zhong Qiu Jie...

one of my favouritest songs =)

"you know i can't be that far from you, if we're both looking on the same side of the moon" sigh! she is such a smart singer-songwriter!

回家吧回到最初的美好.

not just another sad movie clip.

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 15:47:49 GMT

saw this posted on FB.

the title of this clip is "very sad movie clip". i think it's wrong. it is sad alright. but it's not a movie, it's reality. it's reality for that little girl walking for miles to look for water. it's reality for that little boy who is 7 but is only as big as a video-cam. it's reality for that little girl who crawls around on the ground because she can't find the strength to sit up, much less stand, and walk.

=(

and i know that this is reality for countless of children out there.

makes me hold on even more firmly to the promise that there is a place where they shall neither hunger nor thirst anymore.

when it feels like my dreams are so far,

Dream - Priscilla Ahn

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 14:52:33 GMT

I was a little girl alone in my little world who dreamed of a little home for me.
I played pretend between the trees, and fed my houseguests bark and leaves, and laughed in my pretty bed of green.

I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest swing.
I had a dream.

Long walks in the dark through woods grown behind the park, I asked God who I'm supposed to be.
The stars smiled down on me, God answered in silent reverie. I said a prayer and fell asleep.

I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest tree.
I had a dream.

Now I'm old and feeling grey. I don't know what's left to say about this life I'm willing to leave.
I lived it full and I lived it well, there's many tales I've lived to tell. I'm ready now, I'm ready now, I'm ready now to fly from the highest wing.

I had a dream.

life gave me lemonade and i can't imagine why.

The Marshmallow Test

sang this during service today and the whole song is just everything i want to say right now:

Take all I am, Lord and all that I cling to

You are my Savior I owe everything to

Take all the treasures that lie in my storehouse

They cannot follow when I enter Your house

So I surrender all to You

I surrender all

Take all my cravings for vain recognition

fleshly indulgence and worldly ambition

I want so much Lord, to make you my focus

To serve You in secret, and never be noticed

So I surrender all to You

I surrender all

Take all my hunger, for all that's forbidden

Every desire, and sin I keep hidden

Search me and know me, I want to bring to You

a life that is holy, and sanctified through You

Rich Dalmas, Sovereign Grace Music

kuai yao mei you le.

ello!

the parents have finally found a new place! toooooo bad (x100) we're only renting it for a year, maybe two years. maybe two and a half years. oh well doesn't really affect me if it's only one year since i'll still be here most of the time next year.

but hor, i'm glad because the new place is in the land flowing with milk and honey~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ my prayer has been answered! temporarily. haha.

and also, my baby brother is finally taller than me. how is that even possible? but i'm glad that it is otherwise he's in trouble. =P

and erm, yeah.

=) this morning i thanked God that His mercies are new every morning and i claimed mine for the day. haha.

ookay. time to start workkkkkkkkk for the day! doing all things heartily as to the Lord and not to man. =D
