ABSOLUTELY.
Lover of my soul
I want to tell you
Only you have all of me
I cannot contain my adoration
I'm in love so desperately
No one is as lovely as you are
There is no one else who has my heart
Jesus you have me completely
Every breath I breathe
I am absolutely in love
Jesus I am yours forever
All of me surrenders
I am absolutely in love with you
Down upon my knees
I'm lost in worship
Humbled by your majesty
What is there to say
But how I love you
Thank you for forgiving me
All I am is yours (all I am is yours)
Only yours
this week has been beautiful.
no, I don't mean that it has been awesome, or exceptionally exciting. in fact, it had a somewhat sleepy haze to it. everything moved slowly, but clearly. it was akin to being caught in a time machine where events were slowed down, and you could enjoy every moment.
I mean that it had a natural beauty. the beauty of friendship, the beauty of a faithful God, the beauty of the sun rising everyday despite all the despair and disappointment. even if some things didn't go the way i wanted to, I learnt many valuable lessons: who my friends truly are, and that there's more than one way to make things right.
just started writing to a pen-pal in Missouri USA, waiting for the correspondence to start. it's quite exciting to get a personally addressed letter that's handwritten instead of being signed by a computer. i guess rarity and laziness makes what's common 20 years ago novel now. oh, and Happy Halloween. go and have fun, candy and a good night. did a couple events this year, and boy, I'm always amazed by the power of media, and the fact that all of us have that power at our fingertips. okay I've got morning class, so i'm leaving my house after posting this.

BATTLES.
watched REAL STEEL today.
it's a touching story behind all the raw metal-crunching action: a story about how a dad starts out by fighting for the love of it, then the fight changed. He saw his kid, and his heart turned to fighting for his kid instead. It was a greater goal and a greater purpose than the selfish one he started with.
it teaches also the fight to survive: if you can tough it out, everything will be okay. and that the size does not matter.
another thing: humanity will always be greater than pure science, because it is our soul and ability to learn and adapt that ensures our survival.
Emilyn and I talked about fighting styles on the way home. she said that she wanted to learn a unique but practical fighting style. my opinion is simple - if someone punches you in the face, you stand up and punch them back, hard and between the eyes for that matter. sure, the saying goes that you should "offer the other cheek", but i believe that saying only applies to slaps. if someone slaps you, you kind of deserve it cause you must have did something that amounted to that slap. but man, if someone punches you, it just means that guy just wants a beating back. i mean, come on, no one throws a punch expecting no reaction from their opponent. Me? you hit me, I'll hit back and I'm sure will give it everything. even if I'm the one that lands face-first on the pavement, i won't go without hurting some part of you.
survival of the fittest (or the smartest for that matter.)
oh well, go watch it. you won't regret.

GROUNDHOG DAY. [THE FILM]
do you know the movie SOURCE CODE? it's like the movie GROUNDHOG DAY, but explained with quantum physics and more purposeful, and that it's on a train instead of a town. In fact this post is more about the idea of reliving a day of your life forever and ever, more than the plot of these two films.
Imagine if you had to, for the rest of eternity, relive a single day of your life.
what would you do? would you do everything the same way every single time? or will you make it into the best dy of your life?
i'll pick the day when i stay the whole day in Thailand, snorkelling. i'll go back, and explore the whole island, and then some. i'll get to know the people in town, and know myself better.
or maybe not.

"This Is War - 30 Seconds to Mars"
A warning to the people,
The good and the evil,
This is war.
To the soldier, the civilian,
The martyr, the victim,
This is war.
It's the moment of truth, and the moment to lie,
The moment to live and the moment to die,
The moment to fight, the moment to fight
To fight, to fight, to fight!
To the right, To the left
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
From the last to the first
To the right, To the left
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world!
A warning to the prophet,
The liar, the honest,
This is war.
To the leader, the pariah,
The victor, the messiah,
This is war.
It's the moment of truth, and the moment to lie,
The moment to live and the moment to die,
The moment to fight, the moment to fight,
To fight, to fight, to fight!
To the right, To the left
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
From the last to the first
To the right, To the left
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world!
I do believe in the light
Raise your hands into the sky
The fight is done, the war is won
Lift your hands toward the sun
Toward the sun
Toward the sun
Toward the sun
The war is won
To the right, To the left
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
From the last to the first
To the right, To the left
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world!
A brave new world
The war is won
The war is won
A brave new world

BOARDING SCHOOL.
I cannot wait.
I know I sound stupid, or crazy, but it represents everything good and wholesome in my childhood. the smell of the sea, the fish and the feeling of the wood under your feet. on a bad day, I imagine myself back there, and IT serves as an instant pick me up.
The trip isn't a regular trip to Malaysia by a bunch of Singaporeans, it is a celebration of growing up in a self-sustainable culture. it is fascinating how that small familiar hut has grown to the size it is today. the way that places works never fails to amaze me; how everyone is just so comfortable with each other. people there have a healthy respect for nature and her provisions, yet they rejoice in every catch. it is a place in the middle of the sea that people can be free, not because it has air-conditioning or an Xbox, but simply because it reminds us all how happiness is found in the simple life.
You have to live it as your life to know what i'm talking about - not a tourist who goes, sees, and then returns to another life. it's like boarding school - you live and strive your existence to go back that one time each year, and for the rest of the year you think about going back. there is no "another life", because it's just the way you live.
I can't wait to go back. Really. More than you will ever, ever know.
Just when I was low, feeling short of stable
And all that she intends
And all she keeps inside, isn't on the label
She says she's ashamed
And can she take me for awhile
And can I be a friend, we'll forget the past
But maybe I'm not able
And I break at the bend
We're here and now, but will we ever be again
'Cause I have found
All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
Away again
She dreams a champagne dream
Strawberry surprise, pink linen on white paper
Lavender and cream
Fields of butterflies, reality escapes her
She says that love is for fools who fall behind
And I'm somewhere in between
I never really know
A killer from a savior
'Til I break at the bend
We're here and now, but will we ever be again
'Cause I have found
All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
Away again
It's too far away for me to hold
It's too far away...
It's too far away for me to hold
It's too far away...

DOIN' THE BRUNO.
i haven't had much luck with Wonderwall, cause i can't seem to ge the strumming pattern right. like piano, i learnt the left hand and right hand separately, but i just cant seem to join them in time together. practice, practice.
new song that's all the rage: IT WILL RAIN - BRUNO MARS it's n the mixpod player, and has nothing to do with the fact that it's Breaking Dawn's first single. in my opinion, Bruno is very talented artist, and regardless of the movie, this track deserves some media limelight for the catchy tune it is.
three weeks left in the holidays, and Wednesday is
finally money is rolling in~
