Take these wings
I found a sparrow lying on the ground
Her life, I knew, would soon be at an end
I knelt before her as she made a sound
And listened as she said, 'My friend...
Take these wings and learn to fly
To the highest mountain in the sky
Take these eyes and learn to see
All the things so dear to me.
Take this song and learn to sing
Fill your hearts with all the joy of spring
Take this heart and set it free
Let it fly beyond the sea.'
I found another sparrow on the sand
A tiny bird whose life had just begun
I picked him up and held him in my hand
I smiled at him and said, 'My son...
Take these wings and learn to fly
To the highest mountain in the sky
Take these eyes and learn to see
All the things so dear to me.
Take this song and learn to sing
Fill your hearts with all the joy of spring
Take this heart and set it free
Let it fly beyond the sea.'

Touched by his sweetness:)
This is Tyler, my Korean boy. I took this photo when he was on the bus. I was curious about what he was eating, so I asked.
To my surprise, the next day he came to class and approached me with a towel. 
TA-DA!! He gave me this. The Korean rice cake. I gave one to Jolyn as I could not finish them.
What a sweet thought. It touches my heart to feel blessed and loved.
What can I say? These little children are the ones who often bring the smile to my face.
Thank God for them! Half a year more, we will have to part. I'm so not looking forward to it.
I will miss them loads!!

Driving
This is the car that i'm driving. :P It's a 2008 Honda Fit!
I would say that it's a dream come true. Ever since Honda came out with their new series of Jazz, Civic and Fit, i've began to like Honda cars more. Initially, the car I first drove was a Nissan and then he changed his car to a Honda Fit. :)
How i wish that it's my car and not my driving instructor's. :P It's a really a car with nice interior and coolness. I love driving it!!
My instructor is a really funny guy and he's really a very good istructor. Every lesson is exciting as I learn new things.
Last week, was my 3rd lesson and I went onto the road instead of circulating in the carparks. I drove to Expo and drove around that area. I wonder what is install for me this week. :)
It's quite exciting!! I've never expected myself to be driving on the road where there are traffic lights and many cars.Now, it has come to past.:)
The original test date is 9th Oct'08 but i've to rebook as i can't take leave to go for the test in the afternoon. :)
I hope that I will get my license on my first try.

Timely
It's so amazing!!
No matter what people tell me, I just still can't get out of the misery. That's because I'm waiting for God to speak to me instead.
Today, I woke up and there was a still small voice that says, "It's time you listen to Joyce Meyer!"
It has been months since I listen to her. I logged on and guess what!! The Tv broadcast was about the process of emotional healing.
Trust always have some unanswered questions. It's time I stop asking why. Instead trust God that He knows what I am going through. He loves me and has a good plan for me. If God wants me to know, He will tell me. If He does not, it's better off that I don't need to know. The moment I stop asking why, healing will come.
A bruised reed He will not break, And smoking flax He will not quench; He will bring forth justice for truth.
*Isaiah 42:3*
I am in a state where I feel so hopeless. Yet Abraham was also hopeless when God told him that he will be a father of many nations and have Isaac. That's because in the natural realm he can't see it. Yet he chose to have that hope in faith, that's why he believed and indeed became a father of many nations.
It's time that I remember that faith, trust and strength that I used to have in God.
God will heal my heart!!

Tired
Now, everyone seems upset, so upset. What have I caused?
I wish I can close this chapter of misery.
I'm really tired, so tired.
Who can heal my broken heart?
Who can answer my whys or take away my need to know why?
Who can understand everything?

Nothing but pain
Injustice
Pain
Hurts
Disappointments
Who understands what I'm going through?
Who can heal my broken heart?
This pain is so hard to bear.....
Tears are all that i'm left with.
Hope is gone...

I'll never walk without You
This is indeed the song of my heart. *tear drop*
I'll never want to walk without You. You're all I have and I want to be lost in Your love forever.

Pledging weekend
You call us to fol-low
And we place all we have into Your hands
You're all that we desire
You show us Your kingdom
Built into our hearts forevermore
Jesus our lives belong to You
Take all of me
I give You my all for all of You
Move in Your power
Open the heavens Lord today
Take all of me
Make us Your light for all to see
Change this world we live in
Let Your harvest in
Let Your harvest in
Take all of me for all of You
All consuming fire
Take all of me for all of You
You're my heart's desire
When I was singing this song, tears began to roll down my cheeks. What flashed through my mind were the things i've sacrificed and let go just to obey and seek Him. They were people I hold dear and are close to my heart, dreams I want to pursue and items I want to own. With all these resurfacing, my heart was stirred with a moment of sadness.
Deep down in my heart I was also thinking that there will be more that i've to sacrifice or put on hold in order to fulfil this building fund. The amount is not a large amount but yet it's not something i've on hand at all.
However, I believe that God will be my Jehovah Jireh. Through Him, I will live in great abundance and an open heaven of blessings where I will be able to be a vessel of blessings to others too. I also sensed in my Spirit that I will definitely be able to fulfil this pledge and with certainty that I will be able to fulfil it even in less than six months.
After that moment of sadness, what covers me was an assurance of peace and faith. His love seems to be overflowing in my life that I simply feel so loved by HIM.
This may sound really mushy but I'm really so in love right now. The ability to fall deeper in love with HIM is just so beautiful... :) What lies ahead are things unseen and uncertainties, but what I want to do is to walk this journey with HIM because I know that HE LOVES ME. :)

A butterfly
This was just something that Dan shared with me as a word of encouragement. A caterpillar metaphosises to a butterfly. It definitely would not know what it would become. Yet following the laws of nature, it sheaths itself into a cocoon. It knows that changes is painful but in the end it turned out to be beautiful butterfly.
I am just like the caterpillar who is probably in the stage of a cocoon. God is preparing and moulding me. He stretches me but He will not cause me to stumble. He wants me to become a beautiful butterfly.
Indeed growth is unbearable and there are alot of uncertainties ahead. Yet, looking back at how much i've grown everything is worth it. Jesus is the reason why I'm living for. I'm going to press on!! Keep running or maybe flying. :P
Delight in yourself also in the Lord,
and He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way in the Lord, trust also in Him,
and He shall bring it to pass.
He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
and your justice as the noon day.
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret becasue of him who prospers in his way,
because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath;
Do not fret - it only causes harm.
For evildoers shall be cut off;
But those who wait on the Lord,
they shall inherit the earth.
*Psalm 37:3-9*
Trust and obey
He has made everything beautiful in its time... *Ecclesiastes 3:11*But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
*Matthew 6:33*
Movie Outing with CG
Shaun, Terence, Lijun, Wanyun, Ris, Daniel, Matthew, Geraldine and I went to catch this show yesterday at Plaza Sing after CG. There was some disruptions and the show started only at 12.10am instead of 11.30pm. We had an extra ticket as Weisang suddenly fell sick after coming back from his flight. Hopefully, he's feeling better now as he has to fly to Rome tonight.
I enjoyed the show very much. It was very light-hearted. We had a very good laugh. The plot and the cast were pretty good.
I liked the way the characters were developed throughout the show. Tristan (Charlie Cox) tried to win the heart of Victoria (Sienna Miller) who preferred her pompous beau Humphrey (Henry Cavill). While trying to woo her, they saw a star fell to the ground in the lands on the other side of an ancient wall, which legends said separates England from the magical land of Stormhold. He promised that he would bring her the star back in return for her hand in marriage and entered the magical realm, embarking on an adventure. That was a very simple kind of love where he was willing to do anything for the gal. It's just so sweet yet not feasible in real life.
Tristan met Yvaine (Claire Danes) who was the fallen star which he was supposed to bring back for Victoria on her birthday. Initially, they could not get along with each other and as he had a dream he began to realise that he needed to protect her from Lamia (Michelle Pfeifer). That was what sparked off true love. It's just so beautiful how one could find true love. Often, we always think this person is the one yet at the end of the day, that was not the true love but just a moment of emotion hikes. That was because it was probably based on the outer appearance - physical attraction. However, yet what made one really so beautiful is often the character and the heart. True enough, physical attraction is needed. Yet what is truely important is whether you can really get along with each other's character, accept each other's flaws and be commited to love each other even when you age and when days are bad. In this show, it was through the time they spent with each other that they began to develop the love for each other and understand what true love is. Tristan was a man of his word. He kept his promise of bringing the star back for her birthday. What was beautiful was that both Tristan and Yvaine knew that their love for each other was true through the willingness to protect each other.
Robert De Niro's performance in this movie was excellent. He pulled the role(Captain Shakespeare) off incredibly well with a good amount of camp and humor. I liked his good heart and character where he was willing to help the two of them who are in dire straits. He's someone who possesses so much talents and taught Tristan and Yvaine to be someone who increases in strength and character. Indeed. all of us have talents and abilities to become someone of great value and attractive if we are willing to undergo the training, moulding and change.
It's really a nice show. After watching it, somehow I wish I could be a fallen star where my prince would protect me too. However, I believe and am waiting for God's timing and perfect plan. I've always like stars and wanted to be one. Why? Stars shine in the dark. In moments of darkness, I wish I could shine and bring light to those who are discouraged and unloved. Stars are beautiful. They beautify the sky in the dark. Do you know that they are millions of stars in the sky. Yet man could not really see them in Singapore as it's too bright here. In comparison, there are also many people around us but we could not see them. That's because we focus too much on people who are close to us and neglected those who are behind the scene. Maybe we should change the way we look at things and appreciate those unseen stars in our lives. :)
Guitar Jamming @ East Coast ( 29th Oct'07)
This is the video that Daniel took of Weisiang playing the guitar and singing a love song. I couldn't remember what song it was though. He sang and played pretty well but my giggles spoilt the whole mtv. hehe..:P Enjoy!! Three of us had a very good time playing the guitar. I guess jamming might be our common activity very soon. That's because Weisiang and Daniel bought new guitars. I remembered that it was a month back where i brought my guitar along when we go to East Coast and we started playing then. Now, it's no longer one guitar but three. Weisiang is now undergoing guitar lessons with Bro Zhiwei so I will try to ask him to teach me what he learnt from him. Iron sharpens iron mah. It's good to learn from people. Daniel said that there might be a birth of a trio. :P haha..
P/s: I haven't been updating my blog because i've migrated from friendster to facebook and have been uploading photos and storyboards there. Sorry people!! :) I will still update my blog with updates that can't be put on facebook though.

Donuts
Zhi Ling and I went jogging after school on yesterday. While jogging I mentioned to her that I want to get breakfast. Then we both realised that we had cravings for DONUTS. We missed the donuts we bought from Batam during our wakeboarding trip. So, we decided that we would go and buy donuts after the jog.
We went to Bedok Interchange as her uncle told her that there is a Munchy Donut stall there now. However, it was yet to be opened. Thank God that there was another donut stall. It's called Donut Donut. The name seemed very common and non-fascinating. Yet, I remembered that Benny bought me the princess donut from Donut Donut before. I didn't eat it back then as I thought it would be too sweet due the the pink icing on it. However, he told me that their donuts are not too bad. So Zhi Ling and I decide to just purchase the donuts to try out. We bought a dozen and got two free donuts each.

This was the girl girl donut which I brought to school for tea-break.
These were what was left-over when I woke up on Thursday morning.
Anyway, the donuts taste good and they look pretty too. My favourite ones were the ones with chocolate or peppermint fillings. :) Since donuts are so within my reach now, I will expect myself eating more donuts. :P

Awaiting for my getaway
I'm going to Bintan again this December from the 8th to 10th and will be staying at this beautiful place. Bev said that the timings have yet to be confirmed. This trip is really a discounted blessings from the Lord. Given that we will be staying at Angsana, it will probably cost each one of us about 400++ bucks. Yet, Bev manage to alias with the tour agency and we managed to get a package extended to us at 480 bucks for two. So each one of us paid only 240 bucks. God is good!! I guess this would not be my only trip out of Singapore this December. Zhi Ling and I may be thinking of flying on a SQ after we get our year end bonus. I know that it's building fund season but I just want to trust God that as I sow into the building fund, He would grant the desires of my heart too.
I really can't wait!! I'm so looking forward to my trip. Seasports, sun tanning, swimming and hopefully spa...:P
