Because Of You
Because of you, I was born again
Because of you, I'm ransomed by your grace
Because of you, my heart has found a home
A refuge for my soul
Because of you, sins are washed away
Because of you, heaven knows my name
Because of you, I can live again
You've broken every chain
Unfailing love, so unreserved
You gave yourself on Calvary
And now I stand, forever free
My Savior rescued me
Because of you, the weak say I am strong
Because of you, the broken have a song
Because of you, there's no need to fear
Hope steadfast, ever sure
Unfailing love, so unreserved
You gave yourself on Calvary
And now I stand, forever free
My Savior rescued me
Unfailing love, so unreserved
You gave yourself on Calvary
And now I stand, forever free
My Savior rescued me
Now heaven, be open
Our God is unshaken
We worship Christ risen high above
Now heaven, be open
All kingdoms, all nations
Declare that you are God

Relationship Muses
I guess I could describe relationships as complex, yet it's a wonderful thing too.
I met up with an old friend recently, and we were discussing relationships, and I realized that we both have very similar mindsets about relationships. We both don't believe in those 'play play' kind of relationships that most secondary school students would do, and if my reckoning is right, he is just as serious as me about the issue of relationships.
Seriously, I've never quite understood why some people would go into a relationship, when they know that the relationship is bound to fail eventually.
The thing is, what's the point of getting into a relationship when you know it's going to end badly eventually? Is it worth it to set yourself up for a tremendous heartbreak? If you know the other person has a lousy character/attitude, yet you still want to get into a relationship with that person, it's a pretty dumb thing to do.
Yes, heartbreaks in relationships are part and parcel of life, even I cannot deny that fact. But wouldn't it be better to avoid getting into a relationship, if you know that you're going to face a heartbreak eventually?

Sweetest Devotion
You're all about freedom, all about kindness
All about a savior who loves
You're all about justice, all about mercy
All about what I don't deserve
The one thing that I need
Be seated at your feet
Here in your beauty Lord
The one thing that I need
Be seated at your feet
To worship you
With you every moment, my sweetest devotion
My heart is stirred to know you more
With you every moment, like dew from the heavens
My Jesus, it's you that I adore
All I ever want
All I ever need
All I ever have is you
I really love this song very much, and for every service I always hoped this song would be sung. It also brings back lots of memories of Asia Conference 2010 as well. (:

Would you know how I feel? It's not that I have a crush on you or anything, but I just want you to know how much I truly care about you, as a friend.
我不落泪, 忍住感觉.
Yes, it's hard to conceal everything. But certain things are better left status quo.
While it's true that I can hold back my emotions pretty well in certain circumstances, I do have the moments where I just want to cry out, but I hold it back because I don't want you to see.
I shall walk with the Lord, and let Him guide me through everything in my life.

我落泪, 情绪零碎
地上断了翅的蝶
雾 散之後的满月爱原来更心碎
都可以更细节
田野风绕过几条街
秋天收了满地的落叶
于是又一整夜
感情的句子都枯萎,凋谢
我不想再写
随手撕下这一页
原来是跟离别
可以没有结尾
憔悴后你会跟着写
于是我把诗折叠
有几重感觉
挑一束白玫瑰
你将爱退回
我不落泪,忍住感觉
分手在起风这个季节
哭久了会累
也只是别人的以为
冷的咖啡
我清醒着 一再续杯
我落泪,情绪零碎
你的世界一幕幕纷飞
门外的蔷薇
带刺伤人也很直接
过去被翻阅
结局满天的风雪
哦... 我不想写
随手撕下这一页
原来是跟离别
可以没有结尾
憔悴后你会跟着写
于是我把诗折叠
有几重感觉
挑一束白玫瑰
你将爱退回
我不落泪 忍住感觉
分手在起风这个季节
哭久了会累
也只是别人的以为
冷的咖啡 我清醒着 一再续杯
我落泪,情绪零碎
你的世界一幕幕纷飞
门外的蔷薇
带刺伤人也很直接
过去被翻阅
结局满天的风雪

What trials can do to you.
1. They create patience.
2. They create perseverance, character and hope.
3. They create an exceeding weight of glory.
4. They create an authority to reign in life.
If we endure hardship, we will reign with Him.
-2 Timothy 2:12
Pastor Phil Pringle's preaching today was a really great message, and indeed, impactful is the right word to describe it. (:

The most highly anticipated event!
And of course, it's none other than World Cup! (:
First match for the event-South Africa vs Mexico: 1-1
Next up, Uruguay vs France. Hope France wins!
It was girls' day out on Thursday with the usual lot, as usual we enjoyed ourselves totally, overate, drank KOI milk tea, shopped like crazy(OK that didn't apply to me, but to Shi Hui, Cherie and Grace!). May Ching had to leave early, then Cherie came around 3 when we were supposed to meet at 1130 LOL. Punctuality issue eh.
You guys are just the best! 3 and a half years, and counting. :)
Our new friend, his name is Neko-Kun. :) Grace loves him!
Neko-Kun belongs to May Ching, who is fiercely protective of him. :)
I love Neko-Kun too!
He 'attempted' to try out Shi Hui's mushroom soup.
Grace snapped this when I wasn't looking. Abit unglam but heck.
Shi Hui and I were raving to May Ching and Grace about KOI, and we managed to convince them how truly good KOI is.
To be really honest, after trying KOI, the other bubble tea stalls pale out in comparison.
OK the rest of the photos are on Facebook, I'm way too lazy to upload everything in my blog and it'll take very long!

Alright, before my blog starts to collect dust again, I'm back for a quick update!
The long distance running bug has gotten to me big time, and after Sundown, what comes next is the highly anticipated Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2010!
So highly anticipated, that as I'm typing this, registration for full, half marathons and 10km men/women/wheelchair categories have all been closed! And it wasn't that long ago when registration for Standard Chart opened, if I remember correctly it was in mid-May.
REGISTRATION PRICESInaugural Period(20th May-4th June)
Full Marathon: $45.00
Half Marathon: $36.00
10KM Men/Women/Wheelchair: $31.00
Early Bird Period(5th June-2nd July)
Full Marathon: $75.00
Half Marathon: $58.00
10KM Men/Women/Wheelchair: $50.00
Normal Period(3rd July-30th September)
Full Marathon: $85.00
Half Marathon: $65.00
10KM Men/Women/Wheelchair: $55.00
Yes, the description for most Singaporeans is KIASU. It's only 9th JUNE and registration for the main categories have all been full up! Obviously most people would sign up during the Inaugural Period because of the lower prices.
OK, I'll admit that I signed up during the inaugural period too. x)
Before the run.
After the run! I was quite disappointed that there's no finishers tee for 10km, and only those who took part in marathon and ultra-marathon categories will get it. :(
