a boy, a song and a frap :)


my fav youtube singer : AJ RAFAEL




Dance With My Father
by Luther Vandross

back when I was a child
before life removed all the innocence
my father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me
and then spin me around till I fell asleep
then up the stairs he would carry me
and I knew for sure I was loved
if I could get another chance another walk another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
how I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again

when I and my mother would disagree to get my way
I would run from her to him
he'd make me laugh just to comfort me
then finally make me do just what my mama said
later that night when I was asleep he left a dollar under my sheet
never dreamed that he would be gone from me
if I could steal one final glance one final step one final dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
'cause I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again

sometimes I'd listen outside her door
and I'd hear her
mama cryin' for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I'm prayin' for much too much
but could You send back the only man she loved
I know You don't do it usually
but Lord, she's dyin' to dance with my father again
every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream



a very beautiful song, it reminds me of my dad.
it reminds me to treasure him even more.
i teared when i listened to AJ singing in the vid.
as if i could felt the pain of him losing his father.

dad, i promise, as you walk me down the aisle one day, you gonna be real proud of me.
*cross my heart*

In the secret
by MercyMe

in the secret in the quiet place
in the stillness You are there
in the secret in the quite hour
I wait only for you
cause i want to know You more
i want to know You i want to hear Your voice
i want to know You more
i want to touch You i want to see Your face
i want to know You more
i am reaching for the highest goals
that i might receive the prize
pressing onward pushing every hindrance aside
out of my way
cause i want to know You more



Jesus did not say, "Dream about your Father who is in the secret place," but He said, ". . . pray to your Father who is in the secret place. . . ." Prayer is not only an effort of the will but also the time we talk to our Dad in heaven:)

it is often said that we must have a specially selected place for prayer but once we get there, this plague of wanderng thoughts begins. as we begin to think to ourselves,

'this need to be done, and i have to pray today.'
it's not wrong to think of it that way but having a secret stillness before God, deliberately shutting the door on our emotions and remembering Him, this pleases God.
as our God is a 'jealous God', He wants our total love :)

God is in secret, and He sees us from "the secret place". He does not see us as other people do, or as we see ourselves. when we truly live in "the secret place," it becomes impossible for us to doubt God. we become more sure of Him than of anyone or anything else.

entering into "the secret place," and we will find that God was right in the middle of our everyday circumstances all the time. get into the habit of dealing with God about everything. unless we learn to open the door of our life completely and let God in from our first waking moment of each new day, we will be working on the wrong level throughout the day :)

we learn from baby talk to adult talk :) it sounds hard, it takes time, it take courage, it takes faith. but God says, He's walking it together with us.

yeaps, i heard from God today.
He said, He's with me :)
He never leaves, He's always here.
guiding my every step, taking care of every path that i've chosen.
i give thanks :)


p/s: lotsa people been wondering why i don't sing k :) because i've dedicated my voice for Jesus. He owns it! teehee.

an email, a song and a boy. randomness, today is :)

今天收到朋友转寄的email,觉得很有意思。

感动了我,好久好久。




男孩和女孩从小就认识,男孩经常约女孩一起去村外的池塘边捉小虾。
每次男孩总是满载而归,女孩却是两手空空。
女孩总是失落的含着眼泪,独自一个人回到家,然后闷闷不乐。
晚饭前,男孩敲响女孩家的门,女孩一见是男孩,扭头就走。
男孩追上前,对女孩说:“对不起,我把你的虾都捉走了,给,我把它们养在小鱼缸里,送给你。”
女孩眉头一放,会心地笑了,就这样反复着他们纯纯的童年。
转眼,他们各自成长着。



纯纯的对不起
男孩总是喜欢戏弄女孩,经常会把女孩逗到哭,然后又去哄女孩到她笑为止。
直到长大后,也是如此。
男孩经常偷偷的把女孩的自行车轮胎的气放到没有,然后躲在远处,看女孩着急的走投无路,等着女孩拨通他的手机,然后破口大骂他的小贼行为。
男孩,依旧那么喜欢这样的女孩。
他窃窃的从远处走来,灰溜溜的为女孩推着那辆没了气的自行车,任由女孩在一旁发牢骚,男孩却暗自窃喜。
然后委屈的对女孩说:“对不起,我知道错了。”
随即,女孩便会柔弱下来,告诉男孩下次不允许那样,男孩点头。
于是,那时的他们每天都充满着笑容。



对不起的快乐
大学毕业后,男孩和女孩各自有了工作。
男孩的工作总是很忙,有时一个月都休息不到一次,而女孩总是抱怨男孩冷落了她。
终于,他们有了第一次的吵架。
女孩委屈地哭起来,可男孩却很理直气壮的告诉女孩:“这是为了我的工作。”
这场冷战持续了很久。
终于,女孩还是忍不住,主动和男孩和好了。
后来很多次男孩和女孩都因为这样的小事而吵得不可开交。
每次,都是女孩先妥协。
那年,女孩生日,男孩答应女孩要给他过一个浪漫的生日。
女孩欣喜不已,她在家精心打扮,等着男孩回来陪她渡过这个美妙的生日。
这一等就是凌晨,女孩在睡梦中醒来,脸上挂着泪痕。
男孩见到女孩,心疼的为女孩擦去脸庞的泪痕:“对不起,嫁给我好吗?”
于是男孩拿出一枚戒指。



对不起也是一种承诺
婚后,男孩的事业大有成就,经常有许多应酬,而女孩已经成为一个专职太太了。
每天在家为男孩准备热菜热饭,把家里收拾的干干净净。
她经常会去菜场买回一些小河虾放在鱼缸里养着。
男孩总问他为什么,女孩却总是会心地一笑。
慢慢的,男孩每次回家,身上总是充满了不同的香水味道。
每次没等女孩问,男孩总是忙着解释说应酬太多。
女孩黯然,那时起,女孩不太爱说话了,也不像以前那么开朗了。
她总是喜欢成天的呆在家里,抱着枕头看韩剧,然后随着剧情哭泣。
夜深时,就会疯狂地大哭。
以后的日子里,男孩回来时,身上的香水味只有一种味道了。
女孩从来不问,可是男孩依旧说:“对不起,今天又去应酬了。”



对不起,谎言的开始
渐渐的,男孩开始不回家,或总是在外出差。
男孩的事业越来越好,身边都是奉承的人,他每天都在别人的恭维下自豪的笑着。
女孩,几乎不出门了,她总会去超市买上很多方便面,和一些必要的日用品,然后把自己关在家里,这一呆就是很久。
从前,女孩会经常和男孩一起聊聊天,而现在,她孤身一人,身边没有一个可以说话的人。
每次打电话问男孩什么时候回家,男孩总是仓促的回答到:“对不起,我太忙了。”
女孩,失落的扣上电话。
那以后她再也没有问男孩什么时候会回家。



对不起,只是个敷衍的方式
女孩学着电视上的样子,开始打扮自己。
她觉得男孩不回家,也许是看腻了她,她决定不再颓废,自己的幸福应该靠自己争取,而不是无谓的后退。
那天,女孩心血来潮,按照地址去了男孩工作的地方。
那是女孩第一次去,也是唯一的一次。
女孩涩涩的按下电梯,来到这个男孩经常说忙的地方。
她细细的观察这个公司的每个角落,这里的一切,她都觉得很好看。
终于,绕过长长的办公走廊,她来到男孩的办公室,轻轻的推开门。
女孩愣住了,眼前看到的不是自己的丈夫。
不是那个经常弄坏她自行车的那个贼小子,更不是那个把虾放在小鱼缸里的男孩。
而是一个正在和别的女人做爱的男人。
那个女人坐在桌子上,****地发出微弱的呻吟声。
那个男人,仿佛山林里饿极了的野兽。
许久,男孩才发现了女孩。
男孩惊慌失措,忙把衣裤捡起来穿好。
女孩,转身离开了。
男孩飞奔出去,追着女孩。
那晚,大雨袭击了整个城市。
女孩不顾男孩的叫喊,径直往前跑,往回家的方向跑。
男孩在女孩后面大喊:“对不起,我还是爱你的,对不起,我真的只爱你。”
女孩,始终没有听见。



这样的对不起太伤人
男孩一直都没有找到女孩,女孩失踪很久了。
男孩的世界已经一片黑暗,无心工作,无心花天酒地.
他想不到女孩可以去哪里,因为女孩没有朋友.
她唯一的朋友就是男孩。
男孩终日守着电话机,手机24小时不关机,怕错过了女孩的电话。
这一等就是半年多。
快递为男孩送来一个盒子。
男孩打开一看,里面是许多河虾的标本,有的在树叶边休息,有的在水草里躲着,各式各样的河虾标本。
旁边放着一封信。


“ 我始终没有勇气再见到你,可能是我太懦弱,也或许是我根本不想见到你,我想这些『警告:注意文明用语!』应该过的没什么两样吧,我很好,我学会了离开你怎么让自己存活,我懂得了怎样赚钱养活自己,而不用每天等着你回家,为你烧一桌热腾腾的饭菜,直到凉了也不见你的人,我的手机已经不用了,因为我已经不会再为你24小时的不关机,让自己饱受辐射的折磨。我懂得怎样去爱惜自己,珍惜自己的本来应该美好的生活。我想,我是可以忘记怎么去爱你的,因为你把我的爱弄得遍地麟伤。 离婚协议书,就压在鱼缸的底下,你签完字,按照地址给我寄过来就行了。对不起,我想我是真的累了。”


男孩按照地址找去,他满心希望能够见到女孩,然后让女孩原谅,并且告诉女孩自己不能没有她。
可是打开门的却是女孩的父亲,而女孩就站在她父亲的身后——是女孩的遗像。
女孩的父亲告诉男孩,女孩在写完这封信后,跳楼自杀了。



原来对不起也可以是种结束
那一年,男孩疯了。
每个人在自己的生命里头,一定会遇到一个自己真正该珍惜的人。
不是每一句的对不起,都可以换来每一句的没关系。



我说,对不起。
你,听见了吗?

i came across this song few days ago.
been thinking when i read through the lyrics.
a-ha.
i find this song kinda interesting seriously.
Regina Spektor, if you could remember, she is the one who sings 'the call' for Narnia :)
beautiful lyrics i would say :)



Laughing With
by Regina Spektor from the album Far
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one's laughing at God when they're starving or freezing or so very poor
No one laughs at God when the doctor calls after some routine tests
No one's laughing at God when it's gotten real late and their kid's not back from that party yet
No one laughs at God when their airplane starts to uncontrollably shake
No one's laughing at God when they see the one they love hand in hand with someone else and they hope that they're mistaken
No one laughs at God when the cops knock on their door and they say "We've got some bad new, sir,"
No one's laughing at God when there's a famine, fire or flood
But God can be funny
At a cocktail party while listening to a good God-themed joke
Or when the crazies say He hates us and they get so red in the head
you think that they're about to choke
God can be funny
When told he'll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie
Who does magic like HoudiniOr grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious
Ha ha Ha ha



she has written an absolutely beautiful, powerful song.
the song speaks of the fact that suffering strips away our flippant attitude towards God.
we can laugh at God when all is well or when we encounter a caricature of Him.
but when tragedy strikes we're confronted with the reality that we're helpless.
somehow i don't think this song is necessarily as pro-God as some people have suggested.
i think it's more about human attitudes to God and how far we take our relationships with God.

the chorus is about the ridiculous perversions and commercialisations of religion, and how laughable the whole thing gets - all the paraphernalia, all the hatred it sparks, all the bullshit.
the verses are about the little jump of terror in your heart when you're staring something awful in the face and for a second you really wish someone was there to save you or help you - or you just wish that things were somehow in somebody's control, when in fact they really aren't.
"no one laughs at God in a hospital."
that's pretty intense.
never expected Regina to pull a song out like this one!
really, really good :)
i bet that will bring up loads of discussion.
hopefully God praising ones too.
i love Jesus :)

the day and night

today had been great. though it was hard to drag myself out of the bed this morning, i made it to the 2pm class. ok, i snoozed my alarm frm 745am until 130pm :) not too bad la, at least i made it to class and hell ya, it was fun.


DrChai was being kind, yes KIND :)
as i was absent for the past one month plus i didn't go and claimed marks from her after tutorials, i got 1 for my participation marks, real pathetic! haha. but she was kind enough to offer me the chance to present in class :D it was lousy though, she gave me 3marks :D and let me claimed another few marks back for the previous tutorials.

'5 marks, satisfied?' she asked.
''yeah, sure DEFINITELY!'' replied with a WIDE smile on my face.
and she gave me the unbelivable kind of expression.
haha. im an easily contented kid :D


i thank God, for those tutors who have been kind on me.
they go real easy on me.
i mean REAL EASY :p
im thankful la, super thankful!
