Two songs that have been stuck in my head since the party yesterday. Enjoy.
Wonderwall - Oasis
Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you shoulda somehow realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
Back beat, the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before but you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how
Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
Today was gonna be the day but they'll never throw it back to you
By now you shoulda somehow realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
No Such Thing - John Mayer
"Welcome to the real world", she said to me
Condescendingly
Take a seat
Take your life
Plot it out in black and white
Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
And the drama queens
I'd like to think the best of me Is still hiding
Up my sleeve
They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
But something's better
On the other side
I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the
Top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you've got to rise above
So the good boys and girls take the so called right track
Faded white hats
Grabbing credits
Maybe transfers
They read all the books but they can't find the answers
And all of our parents
They're getting older
I wonder if they've wished for anything better
While in their memories
Tiny tragedies
They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
But something's better
On the other side
I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the
Top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you got to rise above
I am invincible(3x)
As long as I'm alive
I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the
Top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you've got to rise above
I just can't wait for my 10 year reunion
I'm gonna bust down the double doors
And when I stand on these tables before you
You will know what all this time was for

Time Flies...
Yup. It really does. 3 weeks since my last post here and a lot has happened. People have come and mostly gone. Mostly because 3 of them were really close friends. Work's been a series of highs and lows though I spent about a week and a half going on MC and medical appointments. So now I'm down to 5x9 days to orD-Day!!!
TCH has been rather ok. Though some people say it is not their cup of tea, I'll stick to it through and through. I believe that through hard work and determination, we can make that cup of tea just right. Ministry-planting is not an easy task as described by Eld Ho. I takes a lot of faith and perseverence by the leadership to make it into a successful ministry. Now, according to Rev Chris Chia, we are in Phase 1 where the foundations are laid and the starts to grow. It's growth will not be dependent on us a members but on the grace of God who will call the right people to join. To those who always say that the ministry will not succeed and that all will crumble to pieces, remember what I just mentioned and may He deal with you appropriately. The point is this, either you join us by supporting the ministry or just stay away and stop cursing the work of the Almighty. The ministry's success is dependent on the will of Him who is sovereign and not on you and what you say. Savvy?
Church on Sunday has been marginally more exciting as the few ex-YAF people have been dragged into being Sunday School helpers. This ensures that we do not stay at home on Sundays and slack around. Well, the kids have so far been quite pleasant to work with but it's just the beginning.
2 activities have been the highlight of this week. First was the TCH retreat held at the National Community Leadership Institute (NACLI) campus in Kent Ridge. It's main aim was to train the TCH members on the way to share the gospel through the 2 Ways to Live drawings. The secondary aim was to give the members a chance to have a say in the direction of the ministry and change the programme as such. It was a 1-night retreat and I only stayed till lunchtime on Saturday when I left and met Alvin Teo and Bench to buy my long-awaited bass guitar.
I dragged the guitar home and changed before leaving the house once again. This time I went to the Substation to attend Candice's 18th birthday celebration at Timbre Cafe and Bistro just behinf the Substation. The music by the RJC singer and the band was awesome. Anyway, happy birthday Candice!
I'll post the photos from the last 2 events when I have the time. For now, I'll be going to sleep. I'm catching AA2006 tomorrow. Leave a mark!
Some shots of the campsite (NACLI). The last one isn't a shot of the campsite. It's the view from it.

One of Those Times...
My posting frequency has been in the doldrums recently. Partially because I've been lazy and partially because I've had not time to post.
CNY was a blast in terms of cash collected. So now I'm way closer to that new phone I've always wanted. Just another $80 or so. I realised that people are starting to stinge. Enough about that. I don't really want to complain. I'm satisfied though I could have been more satisfied.
I don't understand some people. First they give you indications that they want something done in a certain way. And then when you do it, they say that it's all wrong and not meant to be. It's just so confusing. I wonder if that's better than people who leave clues and expect others to pick up the pieces and figure out what the person is feeling.
Anyway, here I am again feeling like crap. Fridays just don't seem to cut it. If it's not beacuse of some TCH thing, it's because I see certain people who don't belong to it. The former is easy to deal with. It's the latter that's bothering me. I've always believed that no chance means no chance. Forcing won't get you anywhere. But here I am, still trying over and over again. It's so easy to tell others to "forget it and move on". But when it happens to you, it's hard to swallow your own advice. I'm sure that some who are going through this know exactly what I'm driving at. But what the heck. It was nothing to begin with.
Is it that hard to find happiness?
