Healer

I was looking for a song tat I already hav, lolx... Still went to Google one line of the lyrics... Anyway here it is, the song by Joel Houstan's fren, composed when he supposedly had six months left to live... Lyrics below, song on the right... Enjoy! =)

Healer

You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease

I trust in You
I trust in You

I believe You're my Healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe You're my Portion
I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus You're all I need

My Healer, You're my Healer

Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
You hold my world in Your hands

Challenges...

Flu is reli quite irritating, esp. when it doesnt go away after a few days... Hav been down with it since Monday and the bugs are still not completely gone yet =( Anyway I shall try my best to function as per normal, lolx...

Got my driving test date ytd, and its on the 14th of June! How coincidental can it get? The Youth Camp is from the 11th to the 14th! Anyway I toked to Kaiqi and now the plan is tat I'll attend the first 2 days of the camp... B4 and after tat will be intense driving lessons... I do hope tat I'll pass on the first attempt =/

Then Youth Day Service I'll need to arrange for the worship team to play for both services, which is quite a task for me... And I want to give the newer musicians more exposure through this event oso... There are juz so many considerations, and I reli pray for the wisdom to noe how to coordinate this whole thing...

HILLSONG UNITED!!!

First time I had the chance to go for a purely Hillsong United Concert and it was a blast... Met the rest at 5 and thousands of calls juz kept coming in all the way till 6 plus... Thank God Si Hui bought dinner for me and I could eat my Mushroom Swiss Double b4 going in... Gave away the fries and half of the drink, lolx...

When I finally went in at ard 6.45pm with JP and company, we received a goodie bag which was way cool la! =) Got lightsticks, a notebook, a drink and some other hillsong stuff... Then initially we were abit disappointed cos we had to go sit in the back section... Then Thomas called me and said tat they were at the front section and there's still alot of space, so we went down and joined them...

The lights went out and ppl started throwing their lightsticks ard, and screaming and shouting like mad... We had the Arrow Dancers up on stage and it was quite cool to juz watch them perform... After tat it was LIGHTS OUT and the band came up!! (U can hear ppl screaming hysterically now, and making all sorts of human sounds/noises possible)

First song: THE TIME HAS COME
Followed by a few other praise songs b4 going to the worship songs... I clearly rmbr the first worship song: MIGHTY TO SAVE... It was played in a totally different style and still as nice if not nicer than the original version... The song touched me and I teared as I sang it... The first line "Everyone needs compassion" made me think abt the ppl in Myanmar and China suffering... It was as if the whole song was my prayer for those ppl suffering out there... I reli do hope tat more ppl will receive the salvation even in the midst of all these suffering...

Mighty To Save

Everyone needs compassion
Love that’s never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Saviour
The hope of nations


Saviour
He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever
Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave


So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender


Shine Your light and let the whole world see
We’re singing
For the glory of the risen King

Anyway this song reli opened up my heart to the whole worship and after tat I was able to surrender myself wholly to Him... The message by the Pastor was oso simple: Step into the Zone and receive God's undeserved favour... Its all abt making tat choice to step in and then thanking God for wad He wants to gif u... Thought the part abt us being like Jesus was quite cool... "Jesus is cool, so are you. If you wear Addidas today, Addidas ic cool. If you wear Nike tml, Nike is cool. All becos Jesus is cool, so are you"

There was oso this part where Joel Houstan shared abt his fren getting cancer but did not gif up... Instead he went back and composed a song which we sang and I think was super cool! Cant rmbr all the lyrics but would reli like to hav tat song, so if anyone has it let me noe! =)

The last part we worshiped somemore and ended on an ultra high note with Saviour King... I was practically shouting and not singing anymore, lolx... The Pastor came up but the crowd wasnt satisfied... So we got 2 more songs: One Way and Solution... First time hearing Solution so didnt reli like it tat much, hahaz... But still praised Him and gave Him my all cos He's worthy =)

After the whole thing finally ended, ppl started going out and it was seriously crowded, I think more so than b4 the concert started when we were coming in... I saw diff gps of Agapians but after Elsen and me went to the toilet, everyone was gone, lolx... So I walked with him, then saw Yi Yong and company... Continued walking until I was past the Zebra crossing then saw Weilin walking alone... Apparently she was quite lost and the worst part was tat she didnt have a phone with her =/ My phone already died by then so got Elsen to call Kailin and thank God she came shortly after with Gillian... Then I told them to take bus home cos they wanted to walk initially... (can u imagine 3 young gals walking back after 10 plus at nite? Gosh!)

We made our way to the bus stop and finally it was onli Elsen, Joel, and Noel going to 85 with me... Met up with Li Juan, Chengyi, Li Yun, Felly, Si Hao, Enguene and Song Kai there... Ate the usual Ba Chor Mee and shared a plate of carrot cake... Then cabbed home with Chengyi and Si Hao... Totally enjoyed myself tat day!!! =)

A flurry of events!

It's been quite awhile since my last entry... So many things have happened over the past few days...

17th May Saturday
Cant rmbr much except tat I was juz in time when I reached the airport to receive Simon and Calvin... Nick was already there... Went to Simon's place to watch all the Myanmar videos and pics... After tat went for dinner and was late for worship prac... Hp no bat and I give everyone a scare, lolx... Went for supper with Mavis, Yilin and Yixin after tat at the Dim Sum place... Apparently the standard reli dropped =(

18th May Sunday
Slacked around after service then went to watch Accuracy of Death at ps with Yong Jie, Xin Hui, Jing Hui, Li Yun and Yi Qi... Didnt noe it was a Jap movie, lolx... The Grim Reaper loves music, and the way he enjoys it is well, quite cute and funni, lolx... One of the nicer movies amongst those tat I watched this yr, with an interesting twist near the end... Toks more abt life instead of death in spite of the title... And I suppose the sun will eventually come out after the rain =)
*Listen to "Sunny Day" on the right! =D

Ate Mos Burger then tar powed for Simon and Calvin at the fd court... It was reli heartbreaking to watch the Myanmar stuff again... Life is reli so vulnerable, we muz learn to treasure and cherish the things tat are dear to us every single day, lest we dont get the chance to do so in the future... Anyway we stayed till v late, then Calvin and me stayed over at Simon's place... We went for supper at 1 plus and came back at 4 plus... Think I onli slept at 5 plus...

19th May Monday
Woke up at 11 plus and got ready to wait for Xiu Hui to come and fetch us to the airport... Luckily we reached in time and Jasper wasnt out yet... After tat went back to his place first to unload everything, then we proceeded to Novena to eat at this famous chicken rice place... The fd was reli delicious! =) After tat I was abt to head down to Kailin's place but her Dad called saying she got fever so went back to Jasper's place... Watched finish the last part of 老师嫁老大, then after tat they watched Iron Man but I watch liao and oso feeling super tired so I fell asleep... It was already 7 plus when I woke up, but I was still very tired, lolx... Had dinner at their place (the stew was fantastic!) b4 heading back home to sleep more... I basically slept away my Vesak Day, hahaz...

20th May Tuesday
It was almost futile dragging myself out of bed to make it in time for my driving lesson at 8.30am... Had my first lesson in the Circuit... Did the S-Course plus parallel parking... I thought it was not too bad... After tat I went home and slept for one hour b4 heading down to St. Andrews' to bring my Grandma over to SGH for her appt via an ambulance... Met with one of the longest waiting times ever (close to 90 mins), maybe cos the day b4 was a public holiday... By the time she finished and we went back to St. Andrews' it was close to 7pm already... My aunt came down and we went for dinner at Expo after tat b4 she sent me over to Calvin's place to attend the wake service... There wasnt alot of ppl on the first nite...

When Xiu Hui and Jasper came down I found out tat Enz and a few others were meeting at the aiport to receive Gab... Decided to go down too... In the end, there's onli Enz, Chengyi, Kaiqi and me... Gab's mum was there too... We met at 11.30pm and waited almost an hour b4 he came out... After tat we went to eat BK (Gab left with his mum) and I realised tat the Tendergrill set meal was quite nice la! Haha ok tat's random! But its seriously nice! =P Shared cab back and I again had a late night, slept at abt 2 plus...

So now I'm trying to write this post b4 I forget too much of wad happened... A few things tat I personally hope for...

1. For the aid tat we're planning to be able to reli reach those who need it the most in Myanmar

2. To reli get my driving right, I'm seriously quite laggy =(

3. To take deep breaths when I need to, esp when I feel that things ard me are becoming overwhelming

*Looking forward to Sat's concert =)

Passion!

Went to play badminton at the newly renovated Sports Hall in Tampines today from 3 to 5... Apparently there was some inter-sch badminton tournament going on as well... Its been ages since I last watched a gd badminton match... Think overall I watched more than I played, lolx... It's reli fascinating to watch badminton at their level and I think I can watch for hours! N it can reli get quite emotional... I can imagine tat... Training for hundreds of hours juz for that day! Watching them reli brought back the dreams I had of becoming a badminton player, lolx... Anyway, I managed to record some parts of the match, one doubles and one singles but I think wad u'll see is juz 4 ppl moving around in a frenzy in a court and some white blur flying around, lolx... Check it out below anyway =)

Oh ya I invited Leonard, which I knew for barely 2 weeks to come play oso... Turns out tat he's a natural talent... His strokes are reli quite accurate, and he noes when to use the right amt of force... Trust tat he had a great time with us =) After tat went KFC for dinner... Was kinda craving for KFC cos v long nv eat liao, lolx... Tried the new Fish Zinger in the end and I think I still prefered the original Zinger, maybe cos I'm not a fish lover, lolx...

After dinner most of them went back while I hanged around with Thomas and his cousins... Its reli quite cool how I'm starting to get interested in meeting new ppl... Was totally turned off last time and didnt noe how to initiate conversations... Now is definitely much better, although there's always rm for improvement =) Met Jing Hui and Li Yun after tat (they went off first after dinner) and watched "Made of Honour" at CS... Late by 10 mins but we watched it anyway... Thought it was funny and nice...

Then after tat we went Mac to get some drinks (and fd and ice cream) b4 heading home... Used the time to reli interact with his 2 cousins... Apparently one of them is in Team Singapore... Cool rite? Realised tat it aint so hard to tok to ppl u dont noe... Juz be genuinely interested in their life and everything else comes quite naturally, lolx... Anyway, Simon and Calvin are coming back from Myanmar tml and I get to receive them at the airport! Initially thought I cant go cos of worship prac but due to 颂泉 now I can! God's timing is perfect! =)
