Collide

Collide lyrics
Songwriters: Griffin, Kevin; Day, Howie;

The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you, yeah

I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find you and I collide

I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know
I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find you and I collide

Don't stop here
I lost my place
I'm close behind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find you and I collide

You finally find you and I collide
You finally find you and I collide

Hello April!

Finally i'm done with the assignments! I had two sleepless nights. :( It's really torturing! Hopefully, i won't have to do it again anymore. No more sleepless night please! I almost walked into a pillar yesterday while walking. And i kept dozing off during lecture, my handwriting was messy and funny. Sometimes the words just got smaller and 'flew'. haha. Dark circles, dull skin... i've been sitting all days with my eyes glued to the screen, doing research... cracking my head to do my assignments. Doing star jumps to de-stress. Haha. I miss sports. I MISS TENNIS! Boohoo!

During the last combined CF gathering at my school, i led the Praise & Worship session. It was a very different experience with God. :) I hope God likes the P&W session. Before that i was quite stressed out because i myself had a lot of work to do, assignments, meetings and all that. I got even worried when i couldn't find anyone to play the keyboard and guitar, and no one to be my backup singers because everyone was so busy with their assignments. I prayed to God, told Him that i really wanted to serve Him and sing to Him, but i was busy, i felt helpless... Well, in the end, He made things so perfectly wonderful. :) He told me to sing as i wished to sing, He found me a guitarist and two backup singers. :) Thank You, Lord. You know my desire to sing for You, and You made it happen. :)

The songs i led that night were 'Because of Your Love', 'Still' and 'With All I Am'. Love those songs! Often, i learnt more and more about how to walk closely with God through songs. God told us to "BE STILL".

When the oceans rise and thunders roar,
I will soar with You above the storm.
Father, You are king over the flood,
I will be still and know You are God.

Be still, not because we are good at it or we are able to do it, so don't worry. No. BE STILL, because He is in control; BE STILL, because He is our Father God, our Daddy! He is more than capable of doing impossible things! Amen!

With All I Am. I thought of this song when my CF leader asked me to lead the worship session. I thought of the life we should live and i thought of this song. It has always been one of my favourite songs. A song which i would want to sing to God at every beginning of the day! This song always reminds me that i should commit myself to Him daily. I should worship Him everyday in my life. I want to be connected to Him in every moment of my life. I want to embrace in His presence everyday!

Today, i am happy that it started off with a P&W practice at church with my buddies. ;) I'm so happy to praise God together with them. It's been a while and i really missed it! :) Initially i planned to go shopping for things i need to bring for my BIG camp next week. It didn't happen, and i ended up spending my time in front of the laptop. (And i thought i'm done with this life.) hahaha. Well, will list out the things i need to buy and go out tonight. Hopefully my lecturer won't call me cuz i don't want to go back to school to do the name tags and progamme book. Argh, not today please... Ah, and i am waiting for the call from the design and printing studio for the banners. Praise the Lord, the boss offered me a sweet price! It really saves our cost! :D

I made one for myself too! :) Cheer leading! Go go go!

I think that many times, help doesn't always come in big actions. Anyway, i still have a lot to learn in this.

The World, or His Kingdom?

你今日所看重的是什么？

是世界？ 还是神的国度？

嗯，值得好好默想一番。

This is not something to criticize anyone's way of thinking, nor to boast that i am more holy or what. It's something which made me ponder upon these few days. Which one would we normally choose? Which one would we subconsciously choose? It's dangerous when we succumb to the world and forget all about God's kingdom.

I personally and strongly feel that, the world is not eternal, we should focus on what's more important. We should focus more on God's purposes for us to be here in this world. And we should try our very best to accomplish every one of them, be a faithful servant. I understand this could be difficult (even i find it difficult too at times). It is sad to see people put God as second when their workload increases. In fact, shouldn't we always put God first? Praise Him despite our busyness, distress, sadness... Don't just let God present only in your happy hours and...sad times.

Today i am very happy. So i praise You, Lord!
Today i feel helpless. Lord, where are You? Where are You?
Today i am very busy. Lord, can i take a leave?

Oops!

So what do you think?


I thank God for the brothers and sisters who agreed to help me out in Praise & Worship session. This is assignment week so everyone is working hard on their assignments. We had our practice just now at the chapel. I was touched because they came despite the heavy workload they have. I thank God because they love You more than anything else, Lord. O Lord, continue to strengthen them and guide them in accomplishing their assignment and homework.

And same goes to me. HELLO Assignments!

少年人

少年人啊，珍惜一切你所拥有的吧！ 请不要只在乎眼前所看得见的。 请不要因为只顾自己而伤害你身旁的人，你的朋友，你的家人，爱你的人。凡事都要体谅，为别人着想。

Tomorrow

When i don't wish for tomorrow to come, i find it very hard to sleep. :(

But Jesus told us to cast our fears and anxieties on Him.

Be still. :)

Post-assignments Entry!

Finally! At last! The day i have been waiting for is here! Let's see, i had four sleepless nights in just two weeks. (including last night) And i slept late every night, around 3am.

Four assignments! All done!

Last night, after swimming, i was rushing through my research paper. It was my very first time doing a research paper. It was pretty tough, i got lost for a few times and even thought of giving up. Luckily i didn't! Thank God that He granted me wisdom and perseverance to endure the whole night and produced a, um, i would say that it's brilliant (for the first time, must give encouragement!) research paper. And for the first time too, i did all the citations and referencing myself! :) Agnes, you deserve a round of applause for the effort. :)

I could have gone to bed and grab some sleep since class starts at 930am today, but it's just an hour plus only, so might as well sprinkle something here. :) I wanted to drop by to post something, but i was always caught up with something else.

I somehow feel that the time passed rather fast these two weeks, perhaps it's because of the assignments, research, and all those... or perhaps. it's because of... :) Anyway, i think i need to slow down my pace, i've been so eager to walk so fast that i'm afraid i might miss the beautiful scenery along the road. :) It's time to stop running, and stroll...

... or eventually stop.
for awhile.

I'm tired now nonetheless feeling very relieved. At last, the load is taken off. :) Today, later, after lecture, i would be going out with friends to do what a too-free-student should do. :) Karaoke, window shopping, steamboat... ♥

Something about love.

这样下去， 好吗？
I don't know...

No,

i will not give up.

I will continue to run the race!
