a look at the more important things in life..
today, i was walking to my train station..
and i passed by this lady wearing a sarong and using an umbrella..
she glanced at me as she walked towards the grass, away from the cement pavement..
i saw her bend down and take her slippers off..
then she held them in her hand and gingerly continued walking on the grass..
it seemed like she had a slight tilt at the sides of her lips..
its amazing how one's words does reflect what his/her brain constantly dwells on.
do you constantly talk about a certain topic?
does it reflect your innermost desire?
don't hide it. don't deny it.
the world might already know.
my dog is sick.
it hasnt fully sunken into my head that i might lose him soon.
its taking its toll on not only his body, but on my family.
especially on audrey.
both physically, emotionally and mentally.
thanks jie.
its sad to see him so sick.
when it was he who caused us to spend so much energy catching him to bathe/stop barking/getting things from him that shouldnt be his.
now..my sister spends her energy trying to get him to eat.
not only his medicine..but any form of sustenance.
i was staring at him just now..he's so gaunt.
no longer our "fatty".
its been a good 13 years..and i guess its almost time to say adieu.
but its not easy.
he's a part of us already.

I saw the LIght
Words and music by Hank Williams
1948
I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin;
I wouldn't ask my dear Saviour in.
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night;
Praise the Lord, I saw the light!
Chorus
I saw the light, I saw the light.
No more darkness; no more night.
Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight.
Praise the Lord, I saw the light!
Just like a blind man I wandered alone,
Worries and fears I claimed for my own.
Then like the blind man that Jesus gave back his sight;
Praise the Lord, I saw the light!
Chorus
I saw the light, I saw the light.
No more darkness; no more night.
Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight.
Praise the Lord, I saw the light!
I was a fool to wander astray,
For straight is the gate and narrow is the way.
Now I have traded the wrong for the right;
Praise the Lord, I saw the light!
Chorus
I saw the light, I saw the light.
No more darkness; no more night.
Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight.
Praise the Lord, I saw the light!
Psalm 46:1
"God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble."
tommy emmanuel sang this song acapella on saturday.

WARNING: this is going to be a rambling, random post. so if you're up for it please read on.
i miss tandoori chicken from Can A.
i miss school.
but at the same time, it sickens me a lil that school is about to start.
i have not done all that's on my to-do list for the holidays.
my room is still a sky blue.
its supposed to have made friends with pink and yellow by now.
my room is still a surprise-me room, and not an alphabetical one.
i have 3 weeks left.
one week for Leader's conference.
one week for FOC.
one week to unwind, preferably at Sentosa, a pub and a coffee joint.
and then the shocker of it all when school kicks in,
and on the inside, i would keep wanting to fight the feeling of being back in school.
and before you know it, common tests hit you right in the face.
sighh.
i'm growing up too fast.
i want to be a toys'r'us kid forever.
i know my wife would love to join me.
worship was a lil messy today.
me played quite a number of wrong chords, using the wrong sounds,at the wrong times.
sigh.
drummer played a few messy beats out of the blue.thankfully it was kinda minimal.
worship didnt climax as well as it could have.
i need to improve on my synthe playing. my ears are not tuned.
if i had tunas for ears..maybe i'll be better off? haha. joke. laugh please.
it felt good to be back in church.though i still miss worshipping with the thousands.
i missed my youths, and my cousins quite a lot.
i'm praying for a new anointing in our worship meetings, that our congregation will once again come back to the heart of worship and just really adore our Lord, passionately, for who He is.
got my letter that i wrote to God, during last year meta camp. Ju sent the letters back out to us.
and yay. in my letter, whatever i asked of God, i can see it coming to pass in my life now.
it makes me just feel so happy. to know that hey, there is Someone who has my back and IS watching over me. wonderful security, i say.
last night i came up with new words..
dumb+funny= dunny
retarded+funny=renny
crazy+funny=funzy.
i want to go to a lazy quaint town, to just sip a cup of coffee and people watch.
if i wasnt called andrea..i wonder what name would suit me.
i can't wait for tommy emmanuel's concert this saturday. my ears are all pumped(not literally) for new tunes.
i love concerts and performances, makes you feel inspired and pensive and happy all at once.
i miss chemistry and physics practicals. either with mr Loh or piangpiang.
ok. i need chocolate.

| You Are a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich |
 You life your life in a free form, artistic style. You are incredibly creative and at times, quite messy. Deep down, you are a kid at heart. And you aren't afraid to express it. Your best friend: The Grilled Cheese Sandwich Your mortal enemy: The Club Sandwich |
p.s: please look at eugenia's blog.HAHA!
of all the things to do..
to eugenia: " and have even been known to get addicted to you". haha!
HAHAHA!!
AH-NEE-MALL!! =)
| Your Brain is Orange |
 Of all the brain types, yours is the quickest. You are usually thinking a mile a minute, and you could be thinking about anything at all. Your thoughts are often scattered and random - but they're also a lot of fun! You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about esoteric subjects, the meaning of life, and pop culture. |
| You Are a Chocolate Cake |
 Fun, comforting, and friendly. You are a true classic, and while you're not super cutting edge, you're high quality. People love your company - and have even been known to get addicted to you. |
to eugenia: " and have even been known to get addicted to you". haha!
| Your Monster Profile |
 Death Nightmare You Feast On: Fried Chicken You Lurk Around In: Closets You Especially Like to Torment: Pop Stars |
HAHAHA!!
| You Are Animal |
 A complete lunatic, you're operating on 100% animal instincts. You thrive on uncontrolled energy, and you're downright scary. But you sure can beat a good drum. "Kill! Kill!" |
AH-NEE-MALL!! =)
| You Should Drive a Pink Car |
 You're the type of driver who really loves your car. You can make a car last for ages - or take good care of a vintage ride. You're independent, creative, and very expressive. You consider your car a part of you ... and you want to make it as funky as possible. |

misty - sung by ella fitzgerald.
Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree;
And I feel like I'm clingin' to a cloud,
I can' t understand
I get misty, just holding your hand.
Walk my way,
And a thousand violins begin to play,
Or it might be the sound of your hello,
That music I hear,
I get misty, whenever you're near.
Can't you see that you're leading me on?
And it's just what I want you to do,
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you.
On my own,
When I wander through this wonderland alone,
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I'm too misty, and too much in love.
Too misty, and too much in love.
Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree;

Never knowing my right foot from my left

I'm too misty, and too much in love.
Too misty, and too much in love.

All God's children got rhythm - June Christy
Children, listen here to me
this is my philosophy to see me through the day
to scare my cares away
all God's children got rhythm
all God's children got swing
maybe haven't got money
maybe haven't got shoes
but all God's children got rhythm for to chase away the blues
all God's children got trouble
trouble don't mean a thing
when they start to bop-a-clu-a-bop-a-bop trouble's bound to go away.
say all God's children got swing

roger : "haha. you should blog it!"
me: "YEAH! God is REALLY GOOD!! my academic life is really by grace.haha!"
SHOUT IT FROM THE TOP OF THE WORLD!! MY GOD IS FANTABULOUSLY GOOD!THANK YOU!!
my exam results are out!
though my grades really arent fantastic. i did not fail anything!
and i am really thankful for that!
it was the worst exams of my life! for real.
i hardly studied.
i only read through my notes once. browsed through past year exam papers once.
and then went and sat for my papers.
2 of them were really really dreadfully horrible.
its like i almost submitted a blank piece of paper. or worst..one filled with nonsensical nonsense.
but i thank God.
i'm not proud of my studying discipline.
for goodness knows how long..i've been praying for discipline for so many years. and yet eventhough i dont fulfill my duties as a student very well.
God..my amazing amazing God..still sees me through my exams..
when i put in such minimal effort..He still gives me peace when i study..
He allows me to remember things in the exam hall when i get stumped.
its really not by my own strength. its all YOU, Lord. its all You!
even if i did fail some, i would still say my God is good. He didnt leave me alone when i went through my exams. and that..i know really well. =)
what can i do? but thank You.

thursday found me at palawan beach.
sporting a new pair of shades too! haha. finally got one.
i went there with my church youth. so glad we all got to hang out together again.
it has been a while. and i loved it. they are so funny, and cute, and kuku, and witty. haha.
i love wit. i find it very appealing.
and yes..i think many of the boys are gonna grow up and be lady killers. hahaha.
we played vball on the hot sand, and they played vball and soccer with some other guys.
haha. my rebecca showed off her soccer skills. i'll admit that she did quite a good header.
OH! and my dear russell chow..has a distracting-soccer move.
he runs around screaming and waving his arms in the air as he chases the person with the ball.
its SUPER funny to watch! i recorded it down. and you can hear me say "hahaha. my cousin is so retarded" in the background.
HAHAHA!
the rain surprised us, and we all cozied under a small shelter.
thankfully it wasnt too long, so we went out to cycle.
my bike seat was a lil too high, so i didnt want to stop, lest i toppled over and fell.
but we stopped a few times..so i guess thats why my butt kinda hurts now..cos it takes me alot of effort to get back on. much to tif-taf's and tommy's amusement i might add. roar. those two are very naughty. hahaha.
rebecca and i cam-whored for a while after. and it was great fun.
all in all...
THANK YOU LIL MUMMY JANELLE!!
all i did was to say "hey. let's all go to sentosa to tan la! our church so near, but we never go there! you all having holidays soon right? let's go la!"
and on that night itself..my lil mummy janelle got to work and organised it. =)
i'm super proud of you girl! you planned it brilliantly. we all had a blast. -hug-
-takes photo-
me: aiyah. its off-center. delete. take again.
-takes photo-
me:aiyah. its off-center again!
russ: huh. its not off-center what. i'm in the center!
me: roar! hahaa.
friday came along..
note: i dont really like handwashing clothes.
met twin[jessica] on the way to town. we took 190 down.
it started to rain while we were on the bus. dark clouds, raindrops hitting against the window, and my ipod was playing "have yourself a merry little christmas".
and yeah! it really did feel like christmas!
i felt all warm and fuzzy inside.
perhaps i should listen to carols when it rains. then i can have christmas more often! yippee! =)
so twin and i alighted.ate meesua at wisma. and had shiok-a-delic mango pudding with sago for dessert.
then the hunt was on!
i have to desperately get a dress for my cousin's wedding. which is like..next week!
but alas...mission was not accomplished. i didnt manage to find one.
but at least now i have a better gauge of what i want. hmm.
met others for dinner at botak jones [clementi]. phwoar. its really really very shiok la! the meat is flavoured nicely, and juicy too. loved it. was really full.
but what was better than the food..was the company. [though many unglam shots were taken.haha.] =)
thanks babes for coming out to play! especially you twin..for keeping me in such splendid company the whole day.
yet in the midst of it all..when its just You and me. Your voice calls out so clear.
i don't deserve such grace. i don't deserve such love.
i may fool the whole world, but i can never fool You.
though i come to You broken and ugly, You still see beauty.
"everyone has their own wars to fight."
and as the song goes "the victory is mine, when the battle is the Lord's."
its in Your hands. i surrender. i'm weak.
i need You. i so desperately need You.
Come to me Lord, here is my heart. can't live on my own. can't live without You.
Jesus, what a beautiful Name.

russ: huh. its not off-center what. i'm in the center!
me: roar! hahaa.
friday came along..
note: i dont really like handwashing clothes.
met twin[jessica] on the way to town. we took 190 down.
it started to rain while we were on the bus. dark clouds, raindrops hitting against the window, and my ipod was playing "have yourself a merry little christmas".
and yeah! it really did feel like christmas!
i felt all warm and fuzzy inside.
perhaps i should listen to carols when it rains. then i can have christmas more often! yippee! =)
so twin and i alighted.ate meesua at wisma. and had shiok-a-delic mango pudding with sago for dessert.
then the hunt was on!
i have to desperately get a dress for my cousin's wedding. which is like..next week!
but alas...mission was not accomplished. i didnt manage to find one.
but at least now i have a better gauge of what i want. hmm.
met others for dinner at botak jones [clementi]. phwoar. its really really very shiok la! the meat is flavoured nicely, and juicy too. loved it. was really full.
but what was better than the food..was the company. [though many unglam shots were taken.haha.] =)
thanks babes for coming out to play! especially you twin..for keeping me in such splendid company the whole day.
yet in the midst of it all..when its just You and me. Your voice calls out so clear.
i don't deserve such grace. i don't deserve such love.
i may fool the whole world, but i can never fool You.
though i come to You broken and ugly, You still see beauty.
"everyone has their own wars to fight."
and as the song goes "the victory is mine, when the battle is the Lord's."
its in Your hands. i surrender. i'm weak.
i need You. i so desperately need You.
Come to me Lord, here is my heart. can't live on my own. can't live without You.
Jesus, what a beautiful Name.

Light in your eyes - blessed union of souls
I can't remember the last time that we kissed goodbye
All our "I love you"s were just not enough to survive
Something your eyes never told me
But it's only now too plain to see
Brilliant disguise when you hold me
And I'm free
I've been thinking and here's what I've come to conclude
Sometimes the distance is more than two people can use
But how could I have known girl
It was time and not space you would need
Darling tonight I could hold you and you would know
But would you believe
There's a light in your eyes that I used to see
There's a place in your heart where I used to be
Was I wrong to assume that you were waiting for me
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me
Cards and phone calls and photograph pictures of you
Constant reminder of all the things you get used to
Is there a chance in hell or heaven
That there's still something here to build on
Or do you just pick up the pieces after they fall
But after all
There's a light in your eyes that I used to see
And a song in the words that you spoke to me
Was I wrong to believe in your melody
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me?
Should I keep on waiting or does love keep on fading away
Fading away
It's been a while since I've seen you so how have you been
Did you get my letter I wrote you but I did not send
I tried to call your old number
But the voice that I heard on the phone
I recognized but she told me the number was wrong
There's a light in my eyes but it's too bright to see
And a pain in my heart where you used to be
Guess I was wrong to assume that you were waiting here for me
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me?

Your unfailing Love
When the darkness fills my senses,
When my blindness keeps me from Your touch,
Jesus come.
When my burden keeps me doubting,
When my memories take the place of You,
Jesus come.
And I'll follow You there
To the place where we meet,
And I'll lay down my pride
As You search me again.
Your unfailing love,
Your unfailing love,
Your unfailing love over me again.

And I'll lay down my pride

Your unfailing love,
Your unfailing love,
Your unfailing love over me again.
