Some of life's sharing...

A couple of weeks back, i attended our zone's overnight prayer meeting.
while in the meeting, images of this puzzle game i'm playing on my phone keep appearing in my mind. i was kind of irritated with myself at first. i mean i have 'more serious business' to do, why do i keep thinking of this game?! tsk.

but slowly and gradually, i realise i'm suppose to get a message out of the images.
how this game works, is that i have to move the red block to that opening on the right to proceed to the next puzzle. sometimes, frustrations set in, and you feel like just using the fingers to shift the wood blocks so that the red block can clear this round and move to the next.
Don't you think this closely links to our daily lives?
sometimes, we find ourselves stuck in a very irritating/frustrating situation in life? No matter how we try to get out of it, we can't. we have to get pass it.

Quote: the only way out of the valley is not to go under or above but to go through it

Jer 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
14 I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile."

I was having dinner with bestie ying and she was sharing with me about a book(Tuesdays with Morrie) she was reading.
in this book, one of the character mentioned that he thinks that God overdid what he did with Job, she then asked me for my opinions.
i told her, i had to disagree with the character. I know that everything in life happens for a reason. be it good or bad, it's to grow a person, build their character, put them through the fire. to mould them. like clay in a potter's hands. we all know that life is not a bed of roses. some people just have things tougher than the others, but that's cuz they're up for the challenges and lessons life brings.
like the game, sometimes, one just needs to have another good look around. kind of analyze the situation again, be calm and then you realise, 'oh!it's like this'. don't try to rush things. delays happen for a reason :) i believe in that. God's timing is always THE BEST. read more at suat wei's blog :)

Romans 5:3-5
3Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

just thought i share this. be it a reminder to self or an encouragement to anyone. :)




Nothing Is Impossible
-Planetshakers

(verse)
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
And i know that You can do anything

(chorus)
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

(Bridge)
I believe
I believe
I believe
I believe in You

it's the closest to the song i could get. bear with the slight bad video quality =/

God bless! :)

Philippians 4:13
I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

more food for thoughts soon... :) it's all in my mind. will do it when i have time :)

哭过就好了 - 梁文音



have a look at the interview.
Good point raised.
Why is it that when we're kids and we're upset, we'll just cry and let it go. But how is it that when we grow up, we often find is very hard to put things down.


Anyway, i love the lyrics of this song :)
posted it earlier on. but here's the whole song :)


不喜欢怀疑什么
并不表示我 没有感受
看你微妙的变化 慢慢不同
我不是生气 只是心痛
最讨厌被误会了
但越解释 越觉得难过
你可以说人会变
但不能说 你会这么做 是我的错
哭过就好了 伤都会好的
这样相信 所以深呼吸 着割舍
爱是为了拥抱 为了牵手
不是为了争吵 为了掉头
哭过就好了 痛都会走的
记忆有限 所以它会淘 汰坏的
失眠听歌 想念虽然苦涩
还是谢谢你让我 长大了
最讨厌被误会了
但越解释 越觉得难过
你可以说人会变
但不能说 你会这么做 是我的错
哭过就好了 伤都会好的
这样相信 所以深呼吸 着割舍
爱是为了拥抱 为了牵手
不是为了争吵 为了掉头
哭过就好了 痛都会走的
记忆有限 所以它会淘 汰坏的
失眠听歌 想念虽然苦涩
还是谢谢你让我 长大了
越多美好堆叠的过往
想忘就得推倒更大的悲伤
要找勇气 却不在口袋或手上
但它一定在我身上 某个地方
哭过就好了 痛都会走的
记忆有限 所以它会淘 汰坏的
失眠听歌 想念虽然苦涩
还是谢谢你让我 长大了

East Of Eden

I've been trying to finish this drama since forever. haha. this show was out since like last year? then i decided to get the full series DVD like 6 months ago? and it just dragged till now.

First thing that attracted me to the show was the cast. just look at the cast! oh and cuz, Lee Dong Chul(main lead) was played by Kim Bum (from BOF) & Song Seung Heon (Autumn Tale)!! :)
Anyway, this is a VERY heart-wrenching drama. if you have a weak heart, i won't recommend.
it starts with how a little boy's (below) dad died a very 'accused' death, and how his 2 sons grew up knowing all they were living for was to seek revenge for their father.
One line, which i really love in the show was something like this.
'A real courageous person, would know how to embrace a person when they are good and bad. They would have to learn to embrace a person as large as a mountain'

This is what i translated on my own part. this is a good value to give a child.

Find more videos like this on Dotaazgalor Cyclists

and of course, this boy took the place of his father to be the head of the household and how he literally gave up his life and lived for his loved ones. he would put aside all his longings unselfishly, lovingly and courageously go all out to protect his family and loved ones. ones who have pledged loyalty to him and whom he has pledged to.

this drama kind of shows life in a very 'real' state. the good and ugly. the joy, hatred and tears that life can bring. the tough decisions that one has to make in life's journey while considering lots of other factors. around the middle of the show, the plot gets rather draggy. but you will have to watch it through to see how things progress. on a whole. i liked the plot. except the part where the male lead doesn't make it to the end alive! argh! how can?! but it's a nice show. just that i like happy endings. so bear with me :)
i want all bad guys to die and all good guys to have happy ending! duh? haha :)

i have loads of thoughts while watching this drama. just a short sharing. :)

cheerios :)

buzz buzz buzz, busy me... =p

HELLO! :)
will be doing a 'proper' post today :)
hmm, have been out alot these days. caught quite a couple of movies. :)
watched 'love happens' with the cell. blogged about it earlier. but took some pics with the phone and decided to post it only now. haha :)
this is mingli and melissa. this is grace aka greg ( i think). haha!
also attended cheryl's 21st! love that background! so creative! that's all i can say. haha :)
the cell had a halloween outing. and we had to like 'dress up'.
thanks to wei for the head gear! ;)
these guys had to be the most well dressed! SO daring!! =x hahaha. love those boys' masks!
everyone present. we had loads of fun and attention. hahaha =x all in the name of fun :)
my group that night! :)
then had a spontaneous stayover at bear's place after doing a quick shopping trip ;) my new friends greeted me gooood morning :)
it was halloween morning. :)
i also managed to catch MJ's this is it with lijia! :)
was waiting SO long to watch it.
it was not a very 'wow' kind of show. but it leaves you with loads of thoughts.
i can understand a little better why he was such an influence over people. it's just amazing. he's really a nice person with loads of love to give. and his songs, well, with loads of world messages. well, it's a good way of bidding farewell to MJ after all the ho-ha s about his death. may he always be remembered.

then the highlight of it all, finally got to head to safra's kbox outlet with the besties. just look how happy they are! haha! :)
it's a really nice place with good ambience. maybe cuz its a new place.
saw guo liang, kym ng, pornsak and lee teng. think they were doing some filming there. don't know what show though.
anyway, we found a new friendship song! S-club-7's 'two in a million'
change it to three in a million. hahah :)

then we headed over to JP to chill. there's this place next to courts. called 'ambush' i think. the deserts there was quite nice. and the price reasonable. could try out the place. we didnt try the main courses though.
MYT :)
cheerios :)

Matthew West - The Motions



This might hurt, it's not safe
But I know that I've gotta make a change
I don't care if I break,
At least I'll be feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

No regrets, not this time
I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love make me whole
I think I'm finally feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of this life

'Cause I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

take me all the way (take me all the way)
take me all the way ('cause I don't wanna go through the motions)
take me all the way (I know I'm finally feeling something real)
take me all the way

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

take me all the way (take me all the way)
take me all the way (I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go)
take me all the way (through the motions)
take me all the way

I don't wanna go through the motions
