Love is like oxygen
Love is a many splendored thing,
love lifts us up where we belong,
all you need is love
please don't start that again
all you need is love..
A girl has got to eat
all you need is love
she'll end up on the street
all you need is love..
Love is just a game..

I was made for loving you baby,
you were made for loving me
The only way of loving me baby is to pay a lovely fee

Just one night, give me just one night
There's no way, 'cause you can't pay

In the name of love
one night in the name of love
You crazy fool, I won't give in to you

Don't.. leave me this way
I can't survive, without your sweet love
Oh baby, don't leave me this way

You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs
I look around me and I see it isn't so, oh no..
Some people wanna fill the world of silly lovesongs
Well what's wrong with that,
I'd like to know
'cause here I go again..

Love lift us up where we belong
where eagles fly, on a mountain high
Love makes us act like we are fools
Throw our lives away, for one happy day

We could be heros
Just for one day
You, you will be mean
No I won't!
And I.. I'll drink all the time

We should be lovers
We can't do that.
We should be lovers, and that's a fact

Though nothing will keep us together
We could steal time, just for one day
We could be heros, forever and ever
We could be heros, forever and ever
We could be heros..

Just because I.. will always love you
I cant help loving
you..
How wonderful life is

now you're in the world..

"i would have lost heart, unless i had believed that i would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. wait on the Lord, be strong and of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart. wait, i say, on the Lord!" -psalm27:13-14

"truly my soul silently waits for God. from Him comes my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation, He is my defense, i shall not be greatly moved." -psalm62:1-2

yessssss trust. (:

She always knew the things to say,
She had a smile to end a frown
Sometimes it seems she didn't notice
Sometimes she dreams
Sometimes she tries to dance

She calls out "Hi Ho Silver" from her chair
She dreams of somehow saving the day

The chair a pressing door left open
Her heart the key she always turns
A locking peace no understanding
It was all she knew
And what she held on to

Upon the legs that wouldn't carry
Fly away around the sun
And leave the misery for heaven
And sometimes dream again the dance
And as the grass grows through the concrete
Life embraces bitter land
She learned to trust, she learned to love
She walked the dream, she walked the dance

She calls out "Hi Ho Silver" from her chair
She dreams of somehow saving the day
She rides out west into the sunset

She knew she could, she'd somehow find a way.

had the performance at the istana today and it was a really wonderful experience! felt so happy singing with all my favorite j1s and 2s again :D and taking a break from studying and thanking the Lord for the beautiful day (: studied with chua tatt joey owen and swee after and hurm my math is quite screwed but im trying, really trying!

went to the esplanade for dinner with my family just now and the pretty lights and scenary kinda sent me into a contemplative mood so hm. haha yea. i've seen and heard alot of things recently that really have made an impact on the way i see life and made me realise how sheltered and protected and very very blessed i am.

was at the doctor's the other day and there were these three kids outside the clinic and the eldest sister was one big terror and she was terrorizing her two younger siblings and the lousy mother did like NOTHING to discourage her absolute EVILITY [for the lack of a better word but anw/] thats an example of one of the kids i would absolutely love to give one tight slap and destroy her brattiness. which is pretty strong cos i really do love kids. but yea the learning point came when her little sister gave up trying to fight and just listened to whatever she was told to do. and seriously watching the two little ones being forced into such horrid subservience made me wonder what kind of a life they would live next time. and the probability that they become troubled kids is much higher too. thought of how much the world needs the Lord and how selfish i've been holding this light too much to myself recently.

then i watched the documentary on hiroshima yesterday and it was wow. but wow in a really bad way. watching the entire process of history repeat itself was like a nightmare unfolding in front of me, a nightmare to which i already knew the ending. but watching how real the effects of the bomb were depicted and the kind of devastating effects it had on people were just. the shock wave that destroyed everything in the way, the fire wave that vaporised people, and the pressure wave that well, added destruction just freaked me out. something that kinda got me up from the war-free country i've been living in since i was born. realising that i take too much for granted the simple things in life that so many people had taken away from them when the stupid uranium fused and the bomb exploded. -and how many people who died that day that didnt know the Lord.

then just know i was listening to the bbc and there was the report about the 100coal miners that were trapped and the riots that've been happening and even the whole nasa incident. it made me realise how weak we are on our own and how much we need the Lord. really, need the Lord.

guess the frailty of human life is something we can never understand. but He wired us in a such a way that we cannot function without Him- theres a God-shaped hole in all of us, and its a void only He can fill.

2cor5:17 but in all things, joy! a new creation, a void that only He can fill (:

i think i see everything in colors. people, places and even the things i do. some people are bright, some dark. some people are..maroon. some are blue, some are shades of green and gray. i dont think i've seen anyone perpetually bright so far, guess its just prelims thats getting everyone down. and that really shouldnt be the case! was just thinking about it last night and reflecting about what t chung shared with us last saturday during ypg . proverbs 19:21 "there are many plans in a man's heart, but the Lord's counsel- that will stand." and really, it will. right now im seeing econs as dark, really dark. but then im seeing my quiet time as bright! so well hopefully, prayerfully, after im done i can carry some of that brightness and some of that light into my studies and not give up.

my hope is in You. (:

the valley song

You have led me to the sadness
I have carried this pain
On a back bruised, nearly broken
I'm crying out to You

I will sing of Your mercy
That leads me through valleys of sorrow
To rivers of joy

When death like a gypsy
Comes to steal what I love
I will still look to the heavens
I will still seek your face

But I fear you aren't listening
Because there are no words
Just the stillness and the hunger
For a faith that assures

I will sing of Your mercy
That leads me through valleys of sorrow
To rivers of joy

Alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia

While we wait for rescue
With our eyes tightly shut
Face to the ground using our hands
To cover the fatal cut

Though the pain is an ocean
Tossing us around, around, around
You have calmed greater waters
Higher mountains have come down

the continual gruelling process of learning what it means to trust, trust, trust. it makes me so happy just to know that the Lord is on my side and am so very thankful for the friends i've found in bethany that are so precious to me. everyday when something new crops up im just being taught bigger lessons each day. lessons of faith, of learning to love, of SELF-CONTROL, of perseverance, strength and my most recent theme verse from psalm39:7 "and now, Lord, what do i wait for? my hope is IN YOU."

just thankful. (:
