miracles during exams

CRESCENDO
The beats of my heart keeps resounding...
As we walk together on the way back we sink into silence
Clumsily, these feelings that I cannot convey
Walking quickly through the four seasons that move quickly,
In whatever scene, I want to see you right by my side.
Humming a favorite phrase of mine,
'if it's you, no matter what the sound,
You'll be able to play it, right?'
Each and every second,
I want to burn you into my memory.
Your pouts, your smiles, everything that paints you who you are,
everything is now dancing with the wind,
gently enveloped by the wind.
Your words made my eyes shine,
The story of our dreams that we paint knows no bounds.
At that time, you casually gave me, who was lost,
a push on the back, didn't you.
You, who is living 100% in the present,
you twinkle brighter than anyone, just like the Sun.
The miracle of meeting someone
I want to know you even deeper, even if I get hurt
Each and every second, you're so lovely...
The beats of my heart keeps resounding...
I vow to become strong someday...
So I can spread my wings...
To always look over you...
more than everyone else...

An experience never will forget
this time
it sucked a lot more than those before
the exams are held weeks before chinese new year
bummer !!!!
and here i was...
enjoying the new year and call (2009)
enjoying my changed life
only to be brought down by these "inescapable" days of student life
yeah me.... and those studying in the same college as i
so this week was all about study, prepare, sitting for exam week
so much "fun"....
me and a few close friends were like nomads
changing location to study
looking for people smarter, more well equipped to teach us
via calling, msn, sms....
anything to get a hold on info, answers and solutions
it was all niter until early in the morning everyday...
haiz... sien...
the first paper is like 3 feet under...
the second was better... more confident in it...
ermm...
over the time i studied
i did pray for being able to absorb info faster
which was answered... much to my relief
i can feel myself understand things easily... easier..
and at times when i needed small help... i feel Him there...
on Friday
i went to my church to join a few close friends
we came together to wash each others' feet
as Christ did for his disciples
he served them by washing their feet as a symbol of cleansing them of their sins
we did what He did with the same motifs
to learn to be humble
to learn to serve others
to learn to love one another
to learn that we are all the same
to know that we are brothers and sisters
before going there
i was like... this is going to be a fun experience
as we read through the bible
i began to take it seriously
and began to become a little emo
then Ron clarified somethings
and we began
i was really emotional
both mentally and spiritually
as i see my seniors
on their knees washing my feet
praying for me
i cannot describe how i felt
it was peaceful, yet... touching
it was... humbling... yet honoured
as it goes on... i wept..
it felt so GREAT
when it was my turn
i was afraid that i will say the wrong things
or did say what i really wanted to
that my prayer will go wrong (something i'm still working on)
but when i knelt and wash their feet and pray for them
the words came out exactly as i wanted
i felt the Holy Spirit guiding me
being with me
it was humbling... it was peaceful... it was joyful
it was... in one word... AWESOME
then i got the message from Him
that all my life
i had my own values in everything
my way of doing things
my ways of understanding thing
and i realised...
most of it are written in the bible.
(well other than those sinful things, which i'm doing all i can to avoid now)
i was right where i belong
i was home
after that...
i was full of energy
could not stop smiling
when i joined my friends to study that night
they said i was glowing
this is such a nice experience
it was really emotional, humbling
yet honored, graceful, joyful at the same time
after that
i really forgot what everyone said
all i know is...
it was SO GREAT !!!!!
this is an experience i would not forget for the rest of my life
and if God's willing
i would like to do this again...

Splendid Sunday
so spiritual, so relaxing, so joyful
filled with encouragement, experience and knowledge
in the morning
i join a few friends in solitude
i was held at the beach early in the morning
i was hoping to see the sun rise though :p
but what i got instead is so much more
we splited up so that we can be alone
to concentrate and not distracted by anything or anyone
just being there to feel, listen or see to what the Lord have install for us
after a few moments of prayer i was ready to hear and see
at first it was nothing that come to mind
so i walk a bit more
changing view, changing location
this first significant sign i saw was a bigger bird attacking a smaller one
i see them struggling
and i feel for the smaller one
but in the end
the smaller one manage to escape from the bigger one
and the bigger didn't give chance and let it go
to me...
the massage that i got was
"there will be bigger dangers or challenge that we are going to face in life
it might come to us or we will find them
but if we have faith
no matter how big the problem is
we will make it and rise above"
then in a while
i didn't see anything
so i sat down looking at the waves
and i related the waves to myself
the waves were rough at first
just like my life was
then it became calm, slow
just like my life is peaceful now
but then... the waves gets rough before calming down again
and i thought
"the waves represents my life
i was so lost in the roughness of life
then it became calm after i accepted Christ
and i am his hands
and i am willing to face the roughness of life in His name
doing what he wants me to
according to what he has plans for me"
after that i was at peace for a while
when i open my eyes after that
the first thing i saw was a red ball thing
at the edge of my sight, far away in the sea
it came from a boat
and in a distance, there is another boat
the red ball thing begins to float away from the first boat
in the direction of the other boat
while away from the first boat
it disappears several times and reappeared again
at the same pace, i thought i will reach the other boat already
but it took such a longer time than i had imagined
the other boat also seemed to be distancing from the red ball
finally
nearly 6 times longer than i expect
the red ball reaches the other boat
the vision i got was
"my life with Christ had just begun
and i would inevitably start to leave my home, my family, my comfort zone
and the road will be rough, rocky
and on the way i,we will sway away from him
keep in mind that we do not sway away completely
and always keep ourselves on track
keep God in our hearts
at times, we might feel that we reach our goal or accomplish something
but it is not our final destination
when we arrive at out final destination
we WILL know we are there"

Please acknowledge me
"Fresh, baby, new, just begin…."
I’ve been getting a lot of these comments lately
"There’s a long way to go, it is just the beginning of your journey, there are a lot more to learn"
Likewise
I must agree to all these, as I am everything mentioned
But I want to be so much more
I want to do so much more, to help, to share the burden
I want to learn so much more, to experience, to share the worries and joys
Insecurity, doubt or any other thing you may call me
Cause those are me
I keep feeling left out, incompetent, invincible
Shallow?
Maybe… just a bit… maybe a lot
I’m willing to spend the time to learn, to change, to help
For the time seems to be slipping away
So much time wasted
So much to do
Yet don’t have the effort to accomplish
Don’t have the time… exam… graduation…
It’s all so heavy….
But I will do my part to help
I’ll be praying for the right answer, the right choice, the guidance…
I just hope I don’t let anyone down…

Solitary, the beginning and end
Solitary, the beginning and end
This week started off with rather low profile
Being sick is no fun at all
Climbing out of it without medication is the challenge
But I still stand on no medication
The flue took a toll on my shopping weekend
Manage to go at least a day
But didn’t get what I really wanted
I guess the second trip is needed
The hunt is on!!!
Came back to hostel to find friends in need
Is the festive season bringing people down?
Or is the time and phase where people have to go through for the new year?
The tasks and obstacles came before the coming of a dawn…
A sign perhaps?
Well delay the thunder queue
I was glad I manage to help them
In whatever way they found help in me
They all manage to get through their problems fast
I really hope I manage to help out
Either way
Congratulations on your breakthroughs
Well the coming of the new year was celebrated very nicely
Mix of concert, movie, bistro, relaxing, sharing and beach breeze
Hung out with a few friends
While kept in touch with others at the same time
Although the phone bill is costly
The down part is some of the sms didn’t got out
And I have to redo them
While balancing the fun
Though not liking it
Manage to grasp sometime for studies
So sad the fact my finals are coming
Note to self “TARC is bad at scheduling exams”
Haizz..
A new year has came
Resolutions anyone?
Hopes anyone?
Dreams anyone?
Plans anyone?
