Psalm 18:34 It is GOD that girded me with strength;
that made my way perfect
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, 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
whom shall i fear
whom shall i fear
i am yours

today was interesting. there was this class decoration competition for CNY..and all the sec3 classes were so keen on beating one another..*fierce rivalry*.heh. our dearest 3Sincerity put in alot alot of effort..and it paid off! we won the first price- good start to strengthening our class spirit..at least we live up to our motto: 'Probably the best class in the world" (Calsberg tagline)went out with 8 of my closest friends to watch memoirs! i thought it was alright, actually wished for more culture insight and intensity..the actresses were not bad: Ziyi's english made her sound like a young girl..quite suay: there was only the 1st row of seats left..spent alot of effort craning our necks!it was like the 4.50pm show already, we couldnt afford to delay any longer!! rate it 3.5/5 :)have a whole load of assignments and tutorials: plenty of math, commonwealth essay- the topics are rather horrid..abstract titles like water, colour etc. at a loss as to what to write on..oh yes..i got into the UK literature trip!super long-18days..really looking forward to it..the programme looks interesting enuf. theres a sad side to it though.i wont be able to make it for the annual church camp then..haix..i m away studying literature while other youths and the rest of the church will be studying GOD's WORD.having a raging headache. crap. sec3 life is taxing enough to make my mind malfunction.

the past few days has been raining..there was one night where i was trying to concentrate on my A math hmewk and then there were those irritating tiny brown flies appearing everywhere on my desk, near the computer and on my worksheet..its hard to focus this way bcos my attention was just on getting riid of those things..better stop opening the windows.(well, i was trying to SAVE SOME ELECTRICITY. since it was so cooling anyway. =)the week in school has been really hectic.dancing 5 times a week, trying to pay attention to all the long lectures, trying best to complete the tutorials.esp. geog..whatever happened to easy homework?i was just thinking: we spent like 12hrs away frm home on weekdays..7hrs++ sleeping, so actually, the real amt. of time we spent at home is like 4-5hrs??thats not much.sometimes, not even enough to have a decent conversation with family members. seriously. we had C.E at the beach today. haha. somehow, its easier to concentrate on what keewen is saying, despite the wind and rocky groung surface..its just a more refreshing experience!i m thinking of watching: memoirs of a geisha.i dont watch movies often..this wld be a good treat for myself.hee. self-indulgence??

listening to charlotte singing[or rather, singing-saying] "give me oil in my lamp".at least it shows she pays attention to singspiration during sunday school!hehe. my and my sis took a cab home after having lunch with our fellow YF-ers..i must say the ride was:extremely scary..just picture the driver speeding through the highways ON a wet and slippery surface WHILE heavy rain pours down onto the windscreen= poor visibility. it doesnt get any worse, luckily. all these accident harzards just kept me awake during the long ride,about 30 mins or so.i must say, living in bukit timah does have its limitations and negative side..ITS JUST SIMPLY TOO FAR FROM CHURCH. its like a battle between school and church..choosing where to stay. east or further west? well, the ratio was school and church- 5:2 (frequency in a week).sigh.my friends hve been asking me why i have a "musical' theme this time around..and not "dance".well, its just that all the dance backgrounds didnt really look that good and music suits fine with me anyway.no complaints! i love music too..excluding the exam practical and theory part.hah.

some things really do bug me..these are the 2 right on the top of my list:1. Being late for appointments/meetings/classes/school. i always try to be there on time or like 5-10mins earlier..otherwise,if i leave the house late, i start panicking in the car and keep both eyes on the car clock..i get into an extremely nervous state..2. Waking up late. haha..its hard to wake up early..but mornings ARE the best times of the day.school has been rather good so far, and i've really good teachers..they are nice, fun and really engaging..(a) our beloved P.E teacher was asking us what movies we watched during the holidays and was asking for our opinions: i watched Narnia and i thought it was alright, not especially that good.( the tv adverts did of course look very appealing)..but i must say the beavers did a good job, credit must be given to them..hee.(b) Higher chinese teacher wants us to record our voice(reading passages)..its like really good, in a way, at least she knows our oral standards and all. and we have to do show-and- tell as well..i m not even capable of speaking fluently in my mother tongue..yup, theres YF later..the first for the year'06! yay!

charlotte got her first school uniform yesterday! haha. i hope she makes a good pupil..really want to get a photo of her in it and then i can upload it. :)
i thought the SC Dance group didnt do much to promote our CCA durin the sec1 orientation..we were the only group which didnt do anything special to welcome or garner support any...hmmn, lets say: potential dancers?? auditions are coming up this friday and amusingly(then again, look at the effort we put in), we have quite a number who are interested in joining.
lessons start offically tmr.another brand new page opens in my life- being in sec 3 and all..its only a matter of a few months before i collapse under more tests and assignments..it might be a good thing: i work best under pressure.[i think]
i currently cant be bothered to add in the links for my blog..i thought the new layout looks fine, the treble clef looks a little too enlarged though.haha.

well.gone is my old blog and welcoming the new into the year! thought i should stop posting frivolous and irrelevant things but start comtemplating on my life and how i live it.
was woken up today by my cute and loud sister!ohh..all the innocence in her- didnt realize how she had disturbed me from my deep slumber and yet she continued in her loud and screaming voice. (her wake-up call job never fails.haha)
gearing up for yet another new and hectic[yes, sadly, its unavoidable :( ] school term.every year i tell myself to be consistent and to stop my fondness for being lazy.it has never worked. cherie and i are really trying our best to do well this time around..and i hope we'll: at least i have her support! siblings are really good pillars to hang on to!
i'll hope i can live through waking up at 6am after living a slackish life for 2 whole months..yes, face it- good things always come to an end.
