i would like to dedicate this song (esp the words in orange) to someone special to me.
[Verse 1]
It's been a long and winding journey
But I’m finally here tonight
Picking up the pieces
Walking back into the light
Into the sunset of your glory
Where my heart and future lies
There's nothing like that feeling
When I look into your eyes
[Bridge]
My dreams came true
When I found you
I found you
My miracle
[Chorus]
If you could see what I see
That you're the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel
The tenderness I feel
You would know
It would be clear
That angels brought me here
[Verse 2]
Standing here before you
Feels like I’ve been born again
Every breath is your love
Every heartbeat speaks your name
[Bridge 2]
My dreams came true
Right here in front of you
My miracle
[Chorus]
If you could see what I see
That you're the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel
The tenderness I feel
You would know
It would be clear
That angels brought me here
[Bridge 3]
Brought me here to be with you
I'll be forever grateful
(oh forever Faithful)
My dreams came true
When I found you
My miracle
[Chorus]
If you could see what I see
That you're the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel
The tenderness I feel
You would know
It would be clear
That angels brought me here
Yes they brought me here
If you could feel
The tenderness I feel
You would know
It would be clear
That angels brought me here

This is the day that the Lord has made
woh! i had a great day so far.
played handball during PE. i was on form again. handball is a little like basketball so it's oso kinda my game. thk God He allowed me to score some goals during handball.
right aft PE was english n wow, i was surprised i got 19/25 for summary. although it was an easy paper like what my teacher had said, i really thk God i was able to pass. when i got back my compre ytd, i was a little disappointed tt i got 12/25. but later, when she went thru the compre answers, i managed to get back 3 marks, w/ God's help. i say w/ God's help bcos i didn't expect tt my teacher wud give the 3 marks to me so easily. my other classmates who went to try get some marks got very little back. therefore i passed my compre! n my total was 34/50. im really very grateful to get tt kinda results although some of u might think 34 is chicken feed. this contributed another portion to my high spirits today.
another thing tt i wanna thk God for is tt my english teacher released us slightly earlier for recess. abt 1 min earlier but tt was enough for me. i sprinted to the canteen once we said, "Thk u n God bless u Miss Krishnan." i managed to b in 5th position in line queuing up for Mixed Vegetables, which is oso known as Cai Berng. n the food tasted especially delicious as i ate n watched long, slow-moving queues in front of me.
the rest of the lessons aft recess was ok for me. we had double-math(S) period. wow i didn't fall asleep despite playing so vigorously during PE n eating some food during recess. i was paying full attention man.
God answers prayers indeed. initially, few weeks ago every night b4 i slept i wud pray tt God will b w/ me as i go to school. then recently, i realise tt i learnt b4, tt God is everywhere, n He is always arnd us. so i modified my night-time prayer: "God, help me know You r there n let me feel Ur presence." although i'm not constantly reminded tt God is w/ me, i managed to feel His presence a few times in sch these days. it's so nice to noe tt someone like ur father is standing or sitting near u, or He might b lying there at the corner of the classroom watching over u.
i'm too blessed to b stressed!

I'm not a perfect person There's many things I wish I didn't do But I continue learning I never meant to do those things to you And so I have to say before I go That I just want you to know I've found a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new And the reason is you I'm sorry that I hurt you It's something I must live with everyday And all the pain I put you through I wish that I could take it all away And be the one who catches all your tears That's why I need you to hear I've found a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new And the reason is you And the reason is you And the reason is you And the reason is you I'm not a perfect person I never meant to do those things to you And so I have to say before I go That I just want you to know I've found a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new And the reason is you I've found a reason to show A side of me you didn't know A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

Here I Am To Worship/Call
You stepped down into darkness
Beauty that makes this heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You
Chorus:
Here I am to worship
Here I am to say that You're my God
Altogether wonderful to me
King of all days
Oh so highly exalted
Humbly You came to the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor
Chorus
Bridge:
I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
"Call"
Call upon the name of the Lord
And be saved
Bridge

Becoming more of myself in church
it has been a great day today for me. yesterday was good too but she had to leave early b4 games time. i like today mainly bcos i have taken yet another step to being more of myself in church. i had fun watching the prelude to the Kiwi Cup at RI w/ SA vs RI in rugby. i feel like playing full contact rugby but i'm oso scared of the injuries at the same time. i feel very sissy. hai, i don like touch rugby cos not aggressive enough, n i oso don't like full contact rugby cos of the injuries. i think it will b better for myself to stick to basketball alone. it was very heartwarming to see so many SA supporters at the grandstand just now. i cud oso feel the family spirit of SA esp when they sang the sch anthem w/ such gusto n pride, despite the absence of the music. the lead singer was oso comical, i think he is called Mr Yee.  For more pics of today's match, u may click here. i look back at my own sch, Cat High. we lack the spirit of the SA. many times i regret not joining SA. i hope i can go SAJC aft O's if my results allow me to. i want to b a part of the SA family. i chose Cat High aft PSLE bcos i wanted to b bilingual n other thn The Chinese High, Cat High offers such opportunities. however this yr our chinese O's got below national average i think. anyway i like my sch mainly bcos of its bilingualism, DEFINITLEY NOT BCOS OF ITS 4-YEAR-SHORTS TRADITION! n now i have to wear shorts for another yr in Cat High, thk God so much for making me look young as a BOY while others like SA students can wear smart long pants. haha just jking God, "You r the same Lord whose nature is always to have mercy." i love being a CHRISTian! whoo! tmr is the beginning of another (school) week. shd i say YEAH! or HUH, SCHOOL AGAIN AH? by the way i'm a positive n optimistic person so i'm looking forward to sch tmr. haha i just like to act humble, cos i'm proud to b humble.
~Does absence really make the heart grow fonder?~

phew, nothing really bad has happened to me today. actually i oso don't really believe tt bad luck will befall upon ppl on this day. i guess it's just the way how u see life. on other days i oso experience bad stuff like waiting for the bus which comes so late, etc.
took my chem test today. was much easier thn the rest of the tests i took this week, but very sadly i didn't really study for it so i can't perform as i m supposed to. i can pass but not w/ flying colours.
anyone watched the swearing-in ceremony of PM Lee n his cabinet last nite? i can't believe instead of studying for my chem test, i sat in front of my tv n watched the whole thing! i didn't really waste my time cos i took some photos of the ceremony w/ my digicam. so u can imagine me holding a camera shooting something in front of the tv screen. if u have the time u can go n take a look at some of the photos i took at Webshots. http://community.webshots.com/album/174554266nakgcL
many of u may not know, actually PM Lee Hsien Loong was frm Catholic High School. few of u may not know tt he is Mr Lee Kuan Yew's son. Mr LKY has 2 sons n a daughter. Lee Hsien Loong, Lee Hsien Yang n i dunno the sister's name, maybe it's Lee Hsien Mei. haha hope i don offend anyone here. LHL's bro was oso frm Cat High, whoo!
another highlight of my today is tt i met up w/ my cell leader Zheng Qin in potong pasir (pp) this afternoon. we talked alot n i managed to learn some stuff abt the NS, OCS, etc.
i really have to TGIF(Thk God It's Friday) today cos i'm looking forward to the weekend tmr. i can go to church n meet up w/ my churchmates n of cos, worship God together w/ them. fridays r oso my favourite bcos i consider it part of the weekend esp aft sch. i feel tt the fri this week comes really fast. maybe it's bcos we had 2 hols on mon n tue tt's y fri comes so quickly.

i need stress management more thn anger management
hmmm i've got a not so good day today.
had 2 tests. 1st it was physics. tt was definitely more difficult than i had expected. one reason was bcos i didn't really study hard enough n it was a little last minute studying. although i had started studying for this physics test 2 days before, i still lack the quality in my studying. i learnt before tt it is not the number of hours u put in but the amount u put into the hours. guess i have to work on tt. tt was the 1st time in my sec 3(2nd yr) tests tt i felt so sure tt i will fail. at least i had some confidence in my previous tests to get a low pass, although i failed some in the end. argh!
right aft my physics test i had geog elective test. ironically, i found the geog paper easier than the physics one even though i did not even touch my geog materials to prepare for this test. hai, shd i study for my next tests or not? i know i shd bcos God helps those who help themselves.
despite aft taking an easier test, my mood was still very down since my physics test today, up to aft recess. while food was going thru some processes down my digestive system, i felt better n i decided to have fun in class to destress myself. guess u know what it means to have fun in class. i admit i became rowdier. i talked to my best friend Kaiyuan during double maths period. we shared lots of things together n i felt much better cos i wanted to relax. of cos, i didn't totally ignore what my teacher was teaching. i can oso multi-task. thk God i cud copy down whatever there was on the board. actually i had learnt trigo last yr n i was quite confident of the 1st few parts of the chapter.
no matter how bad my day was, i know tt my day will nv b worse thn many ppl out there in the world. n whenever bad things happen, we shd not dwell on them so much, we shd think of other better stuff tt had happened to us before. my mood went back to normal when i began to think of the good things tt occured to me.
whenever i feel sad i think of her, n whenever i think of her i feel glad. sounds silly but i just wanted to write it down. haha
i have one last test for the week tmr which is chem so i'm going to study tt now.
