yay! promos are more or less over! :D hmm, and God really brought me through this year, but i'll save it for another post!

and it's so weird not to be seeing for a week all those who studied together everyday at raja!

went out with xiu, linh, and jess to city hall after physics paper on thurs! :D haha, it was really fun, we went to toys R us where we looked at all the toys we used to play with. :D and we watched mamma mia, where we all died with laughter everytime the people burst into song, haha, linh and jess were practically rolling around!

and I met pastor cx on the train home, and I said really loudly 'hi pastor!' and she turned around pretty shocked and went 'sshh!! my name is cui xian!' hahah, she's so funny :D

and i love the music video for love story!!! taylor swift's so pretty and the song is so fairytale-ish :D linh barry and I wasted all tat chern's ipod battery listening to these songs while studying for physics! haha :D

love story

we were both young when i first saw you
i close my eyes
and the flashback starts
im standing there
on a balcony of summer air

see the lights,
see the party the ball gowns
i see you make your way through the crowd
you say hello
little did i know

that you were romeo you were throwing pebbles
and my daddy said stay away from juliet
and i was crying on the staircase
begging you please don’t go, and i said

romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
i’ll be waiting all theres left to do is run
you’ll be the prince and i’ll be the princess
its a love story baby just say yes

so i sneak out to the garden to see you
we keep quiet because we’re dead if they know
so close your eyes
lets keep this down for a little while
cause you were romeo i was a scarlet letter
and my daddy said stay away from juliet
but you were everything to me
and i was begging you please don’t go and i said

romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
i’ll be waiting all theres left to do is run
you be the prince and i’ll be the princess
its a love story baby just say yes

romeo save me, don’t try to tell me how it feels
this love is difficult, but its so real
don’t be afraid we’ll make it out of this mess
its a love story baby just say yes,

I got tired of waiting
wondering if you were ever coming around
my faith in you was fading
when i met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

romeo save me i’ve been feeling so alone
i keep waiting for you but you never come
is this in my head, i don’t know what to think
he knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

marry me juliet you’ll never have to be alone
i love you and thats all I really know
i talked to your dad you’ll pick out the white dress
its a love story baby just say yes
oh, oh, yes
we were still young when i first saw you



and this one is really sad ): but really nice too

Teardrops On My Guitar

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I need everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without

Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it's just so funny
That I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause

So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down and maybe
Get some sleep tonight

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into..

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.

hmm, while i'm supposed to be thinking about promos, i'm thinking about my cell... or rather cells haha well, both RIP 07 and RIP 08.

haha. sigh. i really miss our Cell Mentor last year mel fam!! haha, ahh... our cms nat and mel werent always around for cell, but i really really miss them. we had a really great cell! we were all one BIG family!!







Ah! i really miss RIP 07 SO MUCH!! and our lovely room where we would put dividers to make the guys side keep quiet, and all the sharing and cell worship, and how nat would always bring hotdog buns to cell for breakfast,haha and the couple of times the entire RIP trooped down to botanic gardens or went to tanglin macs! haha i miss it all really really much. and jess and I were so cool to compose entire poems and songs for each cell mentor and cell leader of RIP! there were so many of them! daniel, nat, mel, joong yan, david leehe and our RL en en!! :D

everyone's doing different stuff now, some of us J1s are CMing other cells, some are still in RIP! and our dear CMs last year have graduated too, to cm and join other cells. haha, but it was really a great year!


and now it's almost time for some of my RIp 08 cell girls to step up and take their own cells next year, oh man.. i'm gonna miss them. ): but really excited for them too! i'm sure they'll learn lots more CMing than being a member and not forgetting my very first cell at grace assembly!! SCREAM 06! haha, they're the most amazing cell ever!! It was what made jess and I want to stay on at grace assembly in the first place. :D love them!! and it seems like such a long time ago! (scream 06)





oh no! I'm missing SO many people! from church, and everywhere else!!

my new favourite song!!

haha i wanna catch the movie after promos!! the songs are SO good!

mamma mia

Ive been cheated by you since I dont know when
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I dont know how but I suddenly lose control
Theres a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much Ive missed you
Yes, Ive been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know,
My my, I could never let you go.

Ive been angry and sad about the things that you do
I cant count all the times that Ive told you were through
And when you go, when you slam the door
I think you know that you wont be away too long
You know that Im not that strong.
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much Ive missed you
Yes, Ive been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, even if I say
Bye bye, leave me now or never
Mamma mia, its a game we play
Bye bye doesnt mean forever

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much Ive missed you
Yes, Ive been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I could never let you go

had cell yest with linh jess and andrew!!! was really nice and quite heartwarming and they were all really open with struggles. and my conclusion from cell was that heart knowledge is more important than head knowledge.

Compelling reason will never convince blinding emotion
-Richard Bach

and therefore we need A TICK IN THE HEART!!!

haha, love them 3 so much!! :D

and thinking about it I'm real glad that my weird combi of bio lit econs geog was rejected haha, or I wouldnt be in this great class or have these great classmates!

We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him.
Romans 8:28


and this is the verse that we copied out for our secret friends!! haha

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, always hopes, always perserveres. Lover never fails.

1 corinthians 13:4-8


hmm, I remember pastor ronald telling us to take out all the 'it's and replacing it with our names and see how many we could fufil. hmm, we have so much to learn about what love is. :D

goodnight!
