a couple of days ago (: chanced upon this pair of twins doing covers on youtube (: after clicking around, i realised they composed their own songs (: love those composed songs to be honest (: so here's them! (:
JS : Janice and Sonia? cant rem X)
Monday Morning by JS
A monday morning I wake up again and catch the train to work all over again I see the same old people walking by Just like the other day I don't see a smile
How do I break free from this How do I live my life to show that I am free
I wanna fly over the mountains I wanna soar over the seas I wanna glide over the flowers and the trees I wanna fly without a harness I wanna run without these shackles on my feet Oh because I know I'm free
I am not afraid I am not afraid I am not afraid to fall because of you
A sunday morning I wake up again and for some reason it feels like a new day And as I drive to church I wonder why On monday mornings why do I feel so dry
I wanna break free from this I wanna live my life to show that I am free
Amazed By You by JS
This is the song I bring to you Nothing made up no fancy tunes I'm singing whatever's on my heart
I'm sure you have so much to say If only I gave you a minute a day I think I would have more songs for you
Sometimes I wonder I question Was that your voice or my imagination I don't know I don't know
Still you say you love me Whenever I doubt and walk away You follow me you follow me
I'm amazed by you I'm amazed by you I'm amazed by you and how you love me
So many times my faith grows weak And so many times you're the last one i seek I don't know what you see in me
When I complain that I can't hear Your voice in my heart you say you're near You whisper songs into my ears
So here I am singing a song that I wrote And here I am playing guitar that I don't know how to play but that's okay (right?)
Cuz you are the one who has sung over me It's more than just a-ny old epiphany So won't you captivate our ears
and this song, was pretty funny :p they wrote it for a friend's bday :p Funny Friends by JS
Funny how you have the most to say To the ones you see like everyday (yeah) Funny how though when they come and say Can you sing a song for my birthday (...)
We'll just say Uh- uh I Uh- uh I Uh- uh I Love you I love you ooh ooh
Funny how the ones that care the most They will grill you till you look like toast (mm mm) Then you go confront them and you say Do you think that was the wisest way (mm mm)
They just say Uh- uh I Uh- uh I Uh- uh I Love you I love you ooh ooh
so yeah (: as it says, we've finally found our land in the marketplace, for the marketplace, to penetrate the marketplace (: after years of sowing and praying and believing and confessing, it has definitely finally come to past (:
when pastor kong announced it in service, i was overjoyed to the brink of tears (: i dunno, i guess it was hard for alot of people to believe. hearing time and again that the pastors would mention it but no land yet, but nonetheless, we sow in tears during each arise and build season. and now, God iz good, we'll always reap in joy (:
i guess the comments in the site was a little unfair to them not being in CHC to start with. it's as though they have a right to say what they feel, but yet, they dun get their facts right before they shoot. no point stirring up an argument that's for sure. but i juz dun feel justified(?) if that's even the right word to use. dun like it when people put our pastors down as dodgy without even knowing/hearing them. and most importantly, since when was it the taxpayers' money that goes into the building. i mean, it's not as though the government iz paying for it. oh, and it juz isnt right to assume that we're only into building buildings and not helping the needy and the poor. i mean, behind the scenes not everything iz published like a news like this. it's juz wrong.
oh, and we were taught that God delights in the prosperity of His servants. humble but poor, how can you make a difference and stand out in society as a church mouse? even if it's brainwashing tactics that were used, even ordinary logic tells us that well-to-do people are considered more influential. life tells us that the most humble people usually tend to be of the higher income lot, while the proudest are those trying to get there but arent there. however, being influential doesnt mean you have to be super rich - juz well-to-do. living from hand to mouth wont make others turn their heads. face it. i guess i've said my piece (: for the time being, i'm nursing a slightly hoarse voice from all that excited screaming we had as a cell group after service (:
WOW.
too bad when pastor kong announces where exactly our new church building will be, i would have flown back to down under already. upsetting. but i guess, i'll still find out (:
wazzup recently? nothing much :p trying to meet more people during the week nowadays (: more commitments with church stuffs as well maybe x)
oh. and i'm trying to exercise aka cycle and swim more as well (: if possible, maybe 3times a week activity in the afternoon x) though hmmm. singapore gets kinda rainy in the afternoon. but yet, my sunblock doesnt seem to prove it's worth by not making me get any darker than i already am. HMMM.
talking bout rain, i got drenched last week as well :p smarty pants me decided to cycle to toapayoh. and got stranded at toapayoh cuz it rained Siamese and Labradors when i reached. wouldnt stop so i braved the rain home :p interesting experience though. reaches the point where it doesnt bother you if you cycle into huge puddles/pools of water because you're already wet anyway :p
so i should say interesting week it has been. cant wait for february to come.
oh. and january, the month of birthdays, and so happens that it's 21st birthdays this year.. i'm turning 21 this year! (: wakaka (:
dad measured his blood pressure after dinner. outta curiosity, i measured mine too :p lo-and-behold! LOW BLOOD PRESSURE!
95/65 when the normal iz suppose to be 120/80
hahaha how nice. when the whole family iz panicking about high blood pressure running the family.. here i am, having low blood pressure and there's no cure for it!! i should juz eat more fatty food :p HAHAHA, but dr.naddie says young females iz normal to have low bp. hmmm. i wonder why.
maybe it's cuz i'm feeling all heavy headed and woozy :p sleep soon! (:
my current fav song? (: this song never fails to fill my faith tank (: and this year 2010, i pray and hope that this year forth will not be limited by the situations we see and the mountains we feel coming against us. nothing iz impossible. and only if you believe. - the key to anything or any dream, iz in Christ alone. and i'm believing in it.
Nothing Is Impossible by PlanetShakers
I'm not gonna live by what i see I'm not gonna live by what i feel
Deep down i know that you're here with me I know that you can do anything
Through You I can do anything I can do all things 'Cause it's You who gives me strength Nothing is impossible
Through You Blind eyes are opened Strongholds are broken I am living by faith Nothing is impossible
"Remember, happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have. It depends solely upon what you think."
— Dale Carnegie
Most people don't believe it, but it really is possible to think yourself happy. You start with one happy thought
followed by another and another until pretty soon you're stacking them on top of each other, like layers of joy
bricks. After awhile, you will have built such a solid wall of happy thoughts around yourself that wherever you go,
you'll radiate joy. And all because one day you made the decision that no matter what, you were going to think a
happy thought.
