===================================
Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again.
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.

She is running
A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction
She is trying
But the canyon's ever widening
In the depths of her cold heart
So she sets out on another misadventure just to find
She's another two years older
And she's three more steps behind
Does anybody hear her?
Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even know she's going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her?
Can anybody see?
She is yearning
For shelter and affection
That she never found at home
She is searching
For a hero to ride in
To ride in and save the day
And in walks her prince charming
And he knows just what to say
Momentary lapse of reason
And she gives herself away
If judgement looms under every steeple
If lofty glances from lofty people
Can't see past her scarlet letter
And we never even met her
---------------------------------------
I was sure by now, God You would have reached down
and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen
and it's still raining as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain,
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away.
And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to You
and raised me up again
my strength is almost gone
how can I carry on
if I can't find You
I lift my eyes unto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the maker of heaven and earth
---------------------------------------
Is there anyone that fails
Is there anyone that falls
Am I the only one in church today feelin’ so small
Cause when I take a look around
Everybody seems so strong
I know they’ll soon discover
That I don’t belong
So I tuck it all away,
like everything’s okay
If I make them all believe it,
maybe I’ll believe it too
So with a painted grin,
I play the part again
So everyone will see me the way that I see them
Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles to hide our pain
But if the invitation’s open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stained glass masquerade
Is there anyone who’s been there
Are there any hands to raise
Am I the only one who’s traded
In the altar for a stage
The performance is convincing
And we know every line by heart
Only when no one is watching
Can we really fall apart
But would it set me free
If I dared to let you see
The truth behind the person
That you imagine me to be
Would your arms be open
Or would you walk away
Would the love of Jesus
Be enough to make you stay
erms aft Os n evthg.. super eventful yr
I didn’t decide to blog but I dunno why I am doing so now anyway. Prolly cos I’ve not done so 4 eons?
I dun really care if any1 visits this old lousy blog of a not v intersetg me but heck la im juz typing all these since anyway, a blog’s function is to record events, sth I’ve neglected always and now I realize maybe I shld juz pen these down 4 personal keepsake, as future triggers to many memories filled with lotsa emotions.
I cant really decipher my mind right now, feeling lethargic…
It’s the most eventful n significant year for me, this “sweet sixteen”. May not be that sweet n blissful, but downright eventful n full of turning points, which ev1 of them changed or altered the course of my life, perhaps even impacting other ppl too.
Btw, sm stuff here will be lyk impossible to comprehend cos its juz my own recordgs, nt intended 4 otrs to share anw
So yeah, wadsup these few mths?
Lots.
Prelims, Os, results, lotsa unfavourable events cum life-lessons cum regrets. I cant really say regrets, cos mistakes happen all the time, no pt regretg, but instead to learn fr em n rmb these mistakes as danger zones 4 e future
O yes, I had to experience loneliness in a whole different dimension, pretty cool. I felt detached n being an observer of myself. Observg n commentg inside on my thots n actions, as well as actions of otrs.
Im not a philoshy, nt a believer in it. But sm philosophies are true, but tt they dun piece tgh the entire pic of life, all those theories n platitudes r lackg in tt sth, the essence of a dimension… tt means jesus.
I dun care if otrs dun give a shit to wad im sayg n find all im sayg warped n tortuous to know.
But I do still care abt those souls. –good, at least I’ve nt drifted so far away fr god tt I still feel e burden-
I feel damn sad 4 ppl hu dun hv god, when ur emo u’ve no 1 to turn to. Slashg wrists cant remove the internal pain tt’s too great. Hiding the pain fr otrs makes thgs worse. Showcasg ur pain is plain taxg on otrs’ ears. Basically ppl usually dun give a shit to how ur life is n heck to ur turmoil.
Gee I tink im gettg more vulgar. I guess it’s 1 of the reasons ppl get vulgar, when thgs get so crappy in life.
But hey, I still am tryg to get on w life as best as possible. Ain gonna end it anytime soon. And im resolute not to slash myself or wadeva ever, muz keep in mind ur body is still god’s place of residence. It’s not entirely YOUR body, but its owned by god, n its our responsibility to nt inflict scars on His creation.
Tt’s y the simple msg tt god loves YOU is so powerful. No 1 really loves otr ppl. We have to find a reason to love n to even sympathise. Cares are too heavy a load, it’s juz a me world cos we all believe we’re the scum-of-the-earth, no 1 else’s troubles can hold a candle to ours…well ev1 will get screwed up sm time or another, we’re all on level ground…
Tt explains casting crowns’ success
Ok I shall do sth stupid now….cos im feelg really worn out
--to be continued--
after prelims!
today's a great day, like all other days
it's juz tt i nv realise how gd every day created by god is
ytd was a gd day
today was too
church msg was so gd!! altar was the best ever! yay thank god chai yi n chai ling came
shopping was fun too
thank god! i lost my bag then panicked n then found it when i went back! isnt tt a miracle?! i thot it was gonna be in vain gg back to search 4 tt bag
yupz
i'm tired aft 3 consecutive days of shopping
finally can do sm shopping n wasting time yay!
