Hillsong - None But Jesus
I know that You are God
In the secret of Your presence
I know there I am restored
When You call I won?t refuse
Each new day again I?ll choose
There is no one else for me
None but Jesus
Crucified to set me free
Now I live to bring Him praise
In the chaos, in confusion
I know You?re sovereign still
In the moment of my weakness
You give me grace to do Your will
So when You call I won?t delay
This my song through all my days
There is no one else for me
None but Jesus
Crucified to set me free
Now I live to bring Him praise
All my delight is in You, Lord
All of my hope, all of my strength
All my delight is in You, Lord, forevermore

Hillsong - Where The Love Lasts Forever
Upon the broken road,
And lifted me beyond my failing,
Into Your glory,
My sin and shame dissolved,
And now forever Yours I'll stand
(Pre-Chorus)
In love never to end,
To call You more than Lord,
Glorious friend.
(Chorus)
So I throw my life upon all that You are,
'Cause I know you gave it all for me.
And when all else fades,
My soul will dance with You,
Where the love lasts forever.
Your mercy found me,
Upon the broken road,
And lifted me beyond my failing,
Into Your glory,
My sin and shame dissolved,
And now forever Yours I'll stand
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
And forever I will sing,
Lord forever I will sing,
Of how You gave Your life away,
Just to save me, Lord You saved me.
(Chorus)
Lord, where the love lasts forever.
I will be with You, where the love lasts forever.
I will sing to you, where the love lasts forever.
I will dance with you, where the love lasts forever.

O.o
Which is also why we have to know what is good or bad... right or wrong... Don't fall unto the wrong path... Find the right path and get on it... Though it's not easy... Which is why God is there for us... He gave us friends, family... our teachers.. people with experience... to advice us and give us support... Help us to make the right choices.. Yes.. This is life... It is all about choices.. It's all up to us what we want to do with our lives.. Ruin it or live it to the fullest.
John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
See.. even Jesus came to Earth so that we may have life and even have it to the fullest.
So all I wanna say here is.. Cherish your life.. It's God's gift from Him to you. Live it pleasing to Him =)

Holy Spirit
Since I accepted Christ. I know that the Holy Spirit has been with me and is living in me because...
So yeah. The Holy Spirit has always been helping me. It helps me to distinguish between right and wrong. It speaks to me but sometimes I don't hear It. The Spirit works according to God's will and also has his own will.
Romans 8:27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance to God's will.
1 Corinthians 12:11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.
Just something about the Holy Spirit... Actually there's a lot more.. haha
I'm out,

Slowly but Surely =)
I remember when I was younger.. I was quite a naughty boy... Well aren't all guys like that when they're young? =P... You know.. Mischievious, playful, etc etc... haha.. After I started believing in Christ at the age of 11 (Standard 5).. I slowly became a better person actually... but it's a slow and long process... You see.. God transforms people =).
I do remember I used to be like really shy around girls... Well that's quite common for all guys XP.. Well okay.. let's use something else... I remember I used to hate my looks and I basically hated myself.. I never liked my individual picture taken unless forced to... Most of the time I would take my pictures in groups... So that you know... People won't just look at me... They'll look at the whole picture hahaha. Yea I really didn't like the way I looked.
Not only that, I was also very inactive in my school's co-curriculum and I didn't like involving myself in many things... I didn't have much confidence in myself you see... But what I didn't know was that God was slowly changing me... What he did first was most probably let me know what's right and what's wrong through the Holy Spirit... But that doesn't mean I didn't make the wrong choices... I still did.. But I thought for a moment before doing that something. Also.. I became less mischievious and oh.. I did tell a lot of lies when I was younger too.. so yeah that reduced a lot as well as through the Holy Spirit I knew it was wrong to tell lies.. My parents told me as well of course.. But deep down I myself also knew it was wrong. So yeah my lie count reduced dramatically... haha.. That's one of the changes... but it still took me 1-2 years...
Yea so when I reached Form 3 (15 years old).. I began to open up (not open up as in.. you know.. lol) and yea I became more outgoing, more confident in myself.. I guess God also helped me to build up my confidence over the years. Imagine... 4 years to build up confidence... real long right? Yeah.. I became more active in co-curricular activities and I involved myself in more things than form 1 or 2.. and form 3 was the most certificates I've ever gotten for all the events I joined lol.. And I also began to learn how to love myself... I'm not camera shy anymore... Which is why my facebook... only started having individual pictures when I was Form 3...
By that time I was already a much much better person... I've really been transformed.. and only last year I began to realize this.. It's really amazing really... How much we can change... Well I believe this is what God did in my life... Changing me totally... I'm most of the time joyful because I know whatever happens... God is always there...
This is what I believe.. Yes, many other people also change even if they don't believe in God... But for me.. I believe that God is the one that changed me =). So yeah, just wanna thank God for this. God changes people slowly but surely.

One Step Back =)
I see the goal before me
and turning back now will not solve anything
running away from myself keeps leading me in circles
Avoiding mistakes I remember all too well
Time is the enemy
I know now that fame and fortune are part of who I am
These fractions of my past have already passed me by
Why is it that regrets are the only things on my mind
And dreams I never have anymore
Bad memories cloud my judgement
success or failure is all important
Self reflection avoidable
Thought inevitably, turning back at this point was not avoidable
Self reflection is all important
Success or failure cloud my judgement
Bad memories I never have anymore
And dreams are the only things on my mind
Why is it regrets have already passed me by
These fractions of my past are part of who I am
I know now that fame and fortune is the enemy
Time, I remember all too well
Avoiding mistakes keeps leading me in circles
Running away from myself will not solve anything
And turning back now I see the goal before me.
It is not because you can't escape your past, it is because YOU don't want to.

It's over!
I'm neither happy nor sad... I'm only happy that I don't have to duty anymore cause it's kinda boring sometimes... In fact I don't even know what to feel... Should I be happy or sad? I really don't know... I guess I'm having a mixture of both...
That's it from me...

Feelings
On the other hand, feelings are also what results in actions, for example, a person feels exceptionally pissed or upset, what he/she can do is to simply show it through actions. It may be arguable that a person can hide these actions and curb him/herself but naturally these actions will be converted into facial experssions and then conveyed out through their facial features and body language.
Body language is in fact one of the best ways to detect a person's feeling. This is even more obvious if you are hanging out with someone who is very close to you. People close to you tend to notice all the little bits and pieces of your body language and know when you are acting differently. Moreover, body language tends to be generally passive and unconcious, as such, even when your breathing and actions change, you may not be aware of it..
The 3rd part of feeling consist mainly of emotions and experiences. Everyday experiences are what affects our mood. A friend giving you a present could liven your mood and you will feel happy for the whole of the day but suddenly when you are accused of stealing something, your mood immediately changes. This is how easy a single event that takes place in life can totally change your mood from happy to sad. What's more dampening is the fact that almost all of us are susceptible to mood changes. But this is all normal..
The important part of having these emotions and experiences is to know how to actually relieve them., otherwise they will simply build up stress inside yourself that it invokes a sleeping volcano to erupt.. Should this happen, the consequences are actually less controllable. Living life everyday is not about hiding your emotions to please people or forcing yourself to accept something. I guess by doing so, its like shaking a capped bottle of Coke, when you attempt to open it, everything spills out and you end up with less contents inside.
When feeling upset, simply find someone or something(yes, something, and I mean it) to talk to. No doubt you may feel awkward doing so but actually talking about it helps a 100 times better than bottling all the feelings up. I tried for 2 years to keep everything bottled up inside my brain and live life for others but I soon realised that sometimes, you can never be happy that way. Today, I felt useless to help a person because I couldn't cheer her up and tell her all these..it mattered to me because I did not want the same thing to happen again. Only by learning to speak up about emotions and feelings do they become easier and cleare, just like untying a knot, it gets easier as u sit down calmly and untie it.
Well for all of this, I hope that I would have been of help to whoever has read this blog apart from myself, I don't know if it appears as crap to people reading it but it's just my 2 cents worth.
P.S. I took this from another blog I so happen to come across. I think it's quite true =)

Owl City - Fireflies
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
Cause they'd fill the open air
Leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare
I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems
Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they try to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, thread)
I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It’s hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
Cause I feel like such an insomniac
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell (said farewell)
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It’s hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It’s hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

Prayers
So yeah, like a post I did before so many months ago titled 'Set The Field'. Here again I will say you have to prepare a field for the Lord to work so that he can actually answer your prayers. So don't think that God doesn't answer prayers. HE DOES! It's just whether you did anything so that He is able to help you or not. So don't just think that praying to God will help you to solve any problems or score exams if you don't do anything to deserve it. =)
God WILL help you. You just need to do something rather than nothing. =)

Third Eye Blind - How's It Going To Be
Before you take a swing
I wonder
What are we fighting for
When I say out loud
I want to get out of this
I wonder
Is there anything I'm going to miss
I wonder
When you don't know me
How's it going to be
When you're sure I'm not there
How's it going to be
When there is no one there to talk to, between you and me
'Cause I don't care
How's it going to be
How's it going to be
Where we used to laugh
There's a shouting match
Sharp as a thumbnail scratch
A silence I can't ignore
Like...
The hammocks by the doorway we spent time in
Swings empty, don't see lightning like last fall when it was always
about to hit
me
I wonder how's it going to be when it goes down
Hows it going to be
When your not around
Hows it going to be
When you found out there was nothing
Between you and me
'Cause I don't care
How's it going to be.
Hows it going to be
When you don't know me any more
And how's it going to be
Want to get myself back in again
The soft dive of oblivian
Wanna taste the soul of your skin
The soft dive of oblivian
Oblivian
How's it going to be
When you don't know me any more
How's it going to be
How's it going to be

Concerning Someone
Sorry bout this morning. I really didn't do it on purpose. It was my reflex. I did it without thinking really. When I knew it, I wanted to catch you but you already landed on the ground. Really sorry. I don't know what else I can say from here but all I can say now is I hope you'll heal fast and may God's healing hands be upon you.
Sincerely,
Jason

God's Blessings
Deuteronomy 7:12-15
If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the LORD your God will keep his covenant of love with you, as he swore to your forefathers. He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land—your grain, new wine and oil—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land that he swore to your forefathers to give you. You will be blessed more than any other people; none of your men or women will be childless, nor any of your livestock without young. The LORD will keep you free from every disease.
Deuteronomy 28:1-12
If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God: You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks. Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed. You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out. The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven. The LORD will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The LORD your God will bless you in the land he is giving you. The LORD will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the LORD your God and walk in his ways. Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they will fear you. The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your forefathers to give you. The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. 14 Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.

Sparks of Broadway!
Anyways, just finding 1 extra person to go with me to SOB also took so many phone calls. Haih. When it was almost midnight, found somebody to go with me lol! Was damn happy =P. Thanks Eunice! If you even ever read this post... @.@. haha... 3 days already and now only I posting about this... Shows how lazy I am =P.
Lol.. Well my seats were at Q9 and Q10... you can see it clearer if you enlarge the above pic =P. The performances were quite good. They really practiced hard for this. Their dances and songs were all based on oldies from the 1960's. They did 'I just can't wait to be King' from Lion King, 'Without Love' from Hairspray and so many other which I am not even sure haha... but they're from movies of that time... It was okay la... funny at some parts haha. They even had to act childish at some performances which was funny.
The program ended at about 5.15p.m. They gave a 20 min break to go and get refreshments, shirts and so on... all these were for charity so they were kind of expensive... Well, I just got water hahaha... I gotta admit it was nice talking to Eunice again after so long... well quite long... haha...
That's it for now,
Chiaos

God - Our Comfort
2nd Corinthians 1:3-6 Praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! The Father is a merciful God, who always gives us comfort. He comforts us when we are in trouble, so that we can share that same comfort with others in trouble. We share in the terrible sufferings of Christ, but also in the wonderful comfort he gives. We suffer in the hope that you will be comforted and saved. And because we are comforted, you will also be comforted, as you patiently endure suffering like ours.
Whenever you're feeling down, remember that God is always there to comfort you! He'll be carrying you! So you would only see 1 set of footprints in the sand =). God is the best comfort you can get in this world!

God's Blessings!
A study of the fact of God's blessings is a wonderful study. God is the greatest giver of all. "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast in turning," wrote James (Jas. 1: 17, ASV). The Father exemplified the greatest possible giving when he gave his only begotten Son for sinful man (Jn. 3: 16, for a study of John 3: 16 see link at the end of this material). There are numerous Hebrew and Greek words translated bless, blessed, and blessings. Viewed collectively they mean "to declare happy, to speak well of, very happy." Again, I stress that God is the source of all true blessings (Gen. 1: 22, 28, 5: 2). A good example of God's blessings is seen in the case of Abraham (Heb. 6: 14, see addendum). Let us now focus our study on two areas, those whom God blesses, and blessings in Christ.
Those whom God blesses. In a general sense, God blesses all men in that He has provided for all (Acts 17: 28, Matt. 5: 45). However, in actuality God only blesses certain ones in the sense of his salvation and providence. Consider those whom God has said he blesses (also consider the opposite application).
Those who trust in God. "Blessed is the man that trusteth in him," declared the Psalmist (Ps. 34: 8, see vs. 7-9). To trust in God means we believe him and rely on him. The trust taught is child like, as a child trusts in his parents for provision and guidance (Matt. 18: 1-4).
Those who consider the poor. Again, God plainly speaks through his word: "Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble" (Ps. 41: 1). The biblical principle is, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20: 35).
Those who hear instruction. Wisdom says, "Hear instruction, and be wise and refuse it not" (Prov. 8: 33). "Blessed is the man that heareth me," God's word continues, "watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors" (vs. 34). God also said, "Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish (Prov. 12: 1).
Those who keep God's ways. God's word unequivocally says, "Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways" (Prov. 8: 32). Jesus said, "If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye do them" (Jn. 13: 17, ASV).
Those who endure. "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him," declared the Spirit led James (Jas. 1: 12). Peter taught that if one turns back to the world, it would have been better for him to have never known the way of righteousness (2 Pet. 2: 20-22).
God's blessings in Christ. The casual student of the scriptures should be conversant with the expression "in Christ." It is in Christ that the Father spiritually blesses man today. Hear the apostle Paul: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ" (Eph. 1: 3). Appreciate the fact that "all spiritual blessings" are in Christ. Notice in particular some of the stated blessings that are enjoyed in Christ.
God's grace is enjoyed in Christ. God's grace is absolutely essential to man's salvation, as man can not merit his salvation (Tit. 3: 5). However, notice where this grace is enjoyed, "Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus" (2 Tim. 2: 1). Hence, those outside of Christ are without God's saving grace (Eph. 2: 12).
The new creature is in Christ. When one submits to God's plan of salvation (means of accessing God's grace), one becomes a new creature, the old man is put to death (Rom. 6: 3 ff). Notice the location of the new creature, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (2 Cor. 5: 17).
Furthermore, "in Christ" there is no condemnation (Rom. 8: 1). In Christ redemption, being a child of God, and salvation are experienced (Eph. 1: 7; Gal. 3: 26; 2 Tim. 2: 10).
One gains entrance into Christ by water baptism (Rom. 6: 4; Gal. 3: 26, 27). To be in Christ is to be in his spiritual body, the church (cp. Gal. 3: 27 and I Cor. 12: 13; the "body" is the church, Eph. 1: 22, 23).
In closing, all men should desire to be blessed by God in the way we have studied. However, since God is the source of all true blessings, He has the right to name those whom He blesses and state the circumstances of the blessings. We are truly thankful that God has promised to bless man in such a way that man can easily become a recipient of God's blessings. To be blessed of God is to be truly happy (Jn. 13: 17, KJV).

Amazing Grace!
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
T'was Grace that taught...
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear...
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares...
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
a life of joy and peace.
When we've been here ten thousand years...
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise...
then when we've first begun.
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
