:: so nice ::

One of my favourite songs. Randomly heard it and fell in love with it again =)

Someone to hold me tight
That would be very nice
Someone to love me right
That would be very nice
Someone to understand
Each little dream in me
Someone to take my hand
And be a team with me

So nice, life would be so nice
If one day I'd find
Someone who would take my hand
And samba through life with me

Someone to cling to me
Stay with me right or wrong
Someone to sing to me
Some little samba song
Someone to take my heart
And give his heart to me
Someone who's ready to
Give love a start with me

Oh yeah, that would be so nice
I could see you and me, that would be nice...

Whee =)

Happy birthday, Chester Choo. Hope you enjoyed your surprise! :)

One of the many old fogies turning 22 this year. May we all grow old together. *cheers*

:: thank you ::

*beams*

I'm so happy i could cry.

Sunflowers, a cute mug, a CD full of awesome songs. Thank you =)

God, family and friends witnessing me taking this step of faith of getting baptised, amazing.

A big huge thank you to all who came :) You guys played a huge role just by being there.

I couldn't have asked for more. I thank You most :)

:: it's time ::

I never thought this day would come so soon...

What i know now, compared to what i knew 3 years ago, on this very same day...

Grace, before Truth.

Purpose, before Persecution.

Compassion, before Conviction.

Drawing, before Discipleship.

Will, before Work.

Love, before Law.

Mercy, before Sacrifice.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." - John 3:16

I am a Christian. And i am not ashamed. This is my public declaration of faith.

Blessed Easter, everyone :)

:: he loved and so he gaved ::

Dear God,

I don't deserve the many things You've done for me. I don't deserve Your love, Your mercies, Your blessings and most of all, Your grace. And yet, You gave it all to me anyway.

I thank You, Lord, for just, giving me this one gift that i've been wanting the past 2 years. I'll be 3 years old in You as Good Friday comes. I thank You that You're still working and so evident in my life. I thank You that You're gonna use me as a testimony. I thank You that You're just so good. I thank You that You're my daddy.

I thank You for the freedom and peace of getting baptised this Easter. I thank You for even changing the hearts of my parents and allowing them to come. Lord, this is something i had not imagine could happen but it IS happening. Only You can open doors such as these. And Lord, i trust You enough to know that You won't let them close on me.

I'm going to honour You, God. With all i am, with all i have. Cause i know You'll honour me back.

This is my desire, to honour You,
Lord, with all my heart, i worship You...
All i have within me, i give You praise,
All that i adore, is in You...

Lord, i give You my heart,
I give You my soul,
I live for You alone,
Every breath that i take,
Every moment i'm awake,
Lord, have Your way in me.

"There is one body and one spirit-just as you were called to one hope when you were called-one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and one Father of all, who is over all and through all and IN all." - Ephesians 4:5

To my friends (and sisters!) who are running the same race and undergoing the same journey,
"But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." - 1 Corinthians 15:57-58

I stand firm too :) My labor has not been in vain.

:: much to learn ::

I have much to learn. Jesus is saying to me what He said to His disciples : "There is much that i could say to you, but the burden would be too great for you now."

He's saying, "I need to teach you to long for something better."

One of my favourite lines from Elisabeth Elliot :

How long, Lord, must i wait?
Never mind, child. Trust me.

*********************************************************

On a lighter note,

...how do i know that i've been eating more vegetables than i had before? (because i'm Daniel-fasting)

My poop is green.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA.

I'm serious.

:: thoughts to mull over ::

I picked up a book today by Paulo Coelho which i will buy. Soon la. Books are so expensive nowadays ya?

*sigh*

*****************************************************

“I think that when we look for love courageously, it reveals itself, and we wind up attracting even more love. If one person really wants us, everyone does. But if we're alone, we become even more alone. Life is strange.”

“You drown not by falling into a river, but by staying submerged in it.”

“But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for.”

“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.”

“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.”

And my favourite...

“Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.”

:: it might be you ::

Been having this song in my head ever since i heard it on Lite Fm after SUCH a long time.

I likey...

******************************************************

Time, I've been passing time watching trains go by
All of my life
Lying on the sand watching seabirds fly
Wishing there could be someone
Waiting home for me

Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
All of my life

Looking back as lovers go walking past
All of my life
Wondering how they met and what makes it last
If I found the place would I recognize the face

Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you

So many quiet walks to take
So many dreams to wake and there's so much love to make
I think we’re gonna need some time
Maybe all we need is time
And it's telling me it might be you
All of my life

I've been saving love songs and lullabies
And there's so much more
No one's ever heard before
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it must be you and
I'm feeling it'll just be you
All of my life

It's you, it's you I've been waiting for all of my life
Maybe it's you Maybe it's you I've been waiting for all of my life.

******************************************************

I wonder if i would recognise the face :)

:: stuffed ::

And of all things, i am stuffed with dragon fruit and ciku. =.="

I had a very amusing time today. Tiring, but extremely amusing. From not understanding anything in Lending Decisions to driving around KL with a talkative companion to meeting my SS15 core team to a vegetarian dinner and stuffing myself with fruits.

Yeps. My job for today is done.
