You are my father
I am your child
will you hold me in your arms-just a little while
and let me know how much you care for me
there's no other place in this world
That I'd rather be
and when I fall down on my knees and pray
my heart is captured
when I hear you say

come with me my child to the secret place
I love you, I love you, I love you,
come and find your rest in the secret place
I love you, I love you, I love you,

- Rachel Lampa, Secret Place

just remember that God's only a heartbeat away.

haha. purple gradient. random.

ok. time for a new post. haven't posted in such a long time.
well. basically everything's been about the same. just going through the same monotonous routine everyday, with major rectification to my studying hours thanks to promos. nuts.
and yes. there has been some scuffle going on among us (this is intentionally vague) . since you don't comprehend the enormity of the situation and hence, choose to blow it up because you think it's due to some petty matter, please kindly refrain from shooting your mouth off on your blog and causing unneeded anxiety to a particular someone. by extension, i suggest you grow up and not take everything at face value, because, having lived on this earth for approximately 17 years, you should have realized by now that many things are really not as simple as they look most of the time. so. to save you from unnecessary embarrassment once the truth unfolds (which it will in due time), i strongly encourage you to take your nose out of other people's business and stick it into your studies, as they need IMMEDIATE attention. thanks.
on a brighter note. i think pastor kong did a great job on the marriage seminar. lol. it's like stepping into a movie. i mean. you never quite see so much romance between married couples. lol. it's really quite adorable to see them singing to each other on that enormous screen for the whole world to see. and speaking of romance, it's kinda unreal to see my parents so loving. i mean, they are loving towards each other, BUT SOOOO loving. i guess it's good. :)
this has caused me to reinvent my limited view on God's power. it has surreptitiously crept into our lives and honestly, things haven't been the same at home since this marriage seminar. wow. and i didn't realize it until yesterday. so now i'm sitting in my chair. in awe of God's amazing grace and my total lack of awareness of my surroundings. i'm so blur.
but anyways. all the lovey-dovey stuff has to come to an end. starting from next week onwards, it's building fund. time to sink our teeth in meat.
k. gonna go read some econs now. goodness, it was so boring it sent me into a 3 hour nap. sigh.

i'm tired.

after printing how many pages of notes.

Building fund's coming up. time to cut back on spending. actually, i kinda miss our old building at jurong. a lotta people talked about why we spent so much money on that building, it's the gate of heaven. it's a form of praising God. The world gets the best of everything. that should be used for the house of God too. Why should the church settle for second best? After all, in the bible (especially in the old testament) the house of God was always magnificently built, befitting of a king. and our God is the King of kings. He deserves the best i say. But then, of course, it won't do to have a nice building and our spiritual lives are in tatters. so. that's why our motto is to build a church with a strong spiritual atmosphere of faith and purity, where each member is released into ministry and discipled in the great commandment to obey the great commission.

we should strive for excellence in everything we undertake and to be relevant and contemporary in today's society.

yay. time to see God move in our lives.

ARGH. i so didn't know that song was going to be on. it's driving me nuts. so annoying. and i can't seem to get rid of it.
-.-'
imagine my surprise when i'm blasting this Tigger song on the com, then i go visit my blog and read the tag board and everyone's talking about the song (not the Tigger one, the annoying one on my blog). and i'm like 'huh?, what are they talking about...'. then i turn off the Tigger song (much to Manda's relief) and i'm invited to irritating strains of 'Jesus Loves Me This I Know.' Urgh. I like the song and all, but i do not enjoy the 'thumping of the piano' version.

fishsticks.

ok time to get out of this catatonic stupor and back to history. more truman and stalin and their petty little fights. when i read my notes, it kinda reminded me of the fights i used to have with Manda. The name-calling and the sulks. haha.

In the Korean War , after North Korea invaded South Korea with USSR's support...
'The UN Security council convened to discuss the crisis and voted to intervene in Korea (with American forces leading the way). Unfortunately for the Communists, the USSR was absent from that session because it was protesting against the refusal of the UN to recognise the PRC." haha.

In Cuba, after the USSR to withdraw the missiles...
"In Havana, Fidel Castro, who had not been consulted over the missile's withdrawal, flew into a rage. He cursed Khrushchev as a 'son of a bitch, bastard and asshole.' and refused to see the Soviet ambassador."

LOL. mel and i flew into hysterics after reading those. whoever said history was boring. haha. all those who dont' take history, eat your heart out.

Yay! new blogskin. kudos to manda :) thanks.
yup. kaye and jemma came over yesterday and we had fun catching up. jemma spent a great deal of her time amusing herself by hurling stuff at me. that was kinda un-fun. haha. kaye's still the same though. :)

today's a lazy day. listening to diana krall now. and i think i shall spend the rest of the day in bliss reading harry potter, even though i fully know i'm supposed to be poring through my market structure notes. oh well. one day won't hurt i suppose.

oh yes. and thanks for the song. i thought it was nice.

ok i'm feeling really lethargic now. so i shall end here.

The Wunderful Thing About Tiggers

The wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is Tiggers are wonderful things
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs

They’re bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is I’m the only one

:) this is such an adorable song.

nuts. i've got a skeeter bite on my nose. -sniff-

so. i'm sitting at my desk now, listening to disney songs (When She Loved Me - Toy Story now) and Manda's constant rants about logarithms and my dad frantically calling his friend to ask how Skype works. and of course, typing this.
mundane things. and the previous weeks have been about the same. the only critical bit of exciting event that has happened all week was when dad caught this spindly-looking leaf-like insect. it was huge and kinda cute in an ugly way.
oh well. on the bright side, i have finally settled down to studying. quite proud of myself. -pat pat- lol.
OH YEA! kaye and jemma are coming over tomorrow. yay. :) it's kinda nice to see your old friends again, even though they're still as psychotic as ever. jemma called me two nights ago informing (in hysterics) me that she and kaye were hopping on the first plane off to India to further their education in medicine. she said all this in fits of laughter and a pseudo Indian accent. and all the while, kaye was singing ,'i'm leaving on a jet plane' in the background with all the lyrics wrong. lol. i miss mg.
sorry mel...i hafta abandon you. you make the best use of the time studying tomorrow :D you can call me and rant and rave to me tomorrow. :)
all right. this post has been sufficiently long. goodbye.
