Dear God I must confess
That sometimes You seem far away
And sometimes I forget about
how I stand because of grace
But Lord, there's been a change in me
A change I hope will stay
For this is my prayer today:

Jesus I am coming here today
I'm leaving all I have behind
To kneel right at Your place
I'm giving all I am to You
To honour You in all I do
I'm returning to be where You want me to

Take your place, O Lord, take Your place
Be Lord of my life once again
Let your will be done, let Your will be done
Reign in my life once again

Jesus I am coming here today
I'm letting go of all my plans
To trust and lean on You
I'm seeking now for more of You
To know You and to learn from You
I'm running to be where You want me to

Lord draw me near to where You are
Lead me to Your holy presence
I don't want to be kept afar, Lord
Draw me near
Come reign in this life once again

Take Your place, O Lord, take Your place
Be Lord of my life once again
Let Your will be done, let Your will be done
Reign in my life once again
Reign in my life once again

My walk with God is a little dry... this whole song just fits so perfectly.
I so need Him in my life.

I'm glad I went for the service last Sunday, sermon was good.
Almost the whole thing related to me. And I think God spoke through that. A bit.

I have some thank yous to make here, they made my day despite the drama both during and after school today:
Lai Theng (for all that advice and kind words), Simon (the msn convo was v reassuring), Sara and Melody (for just being there), Sharon Pei Qi and Hannah (who made all the difference), the usual sec 4 handbellers Man Ling Hui Ling Ling Ying and Ethel (who never fail to make me laugh), Xi Ying and Fiona, and of course my dear partner Sheila...

Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
Matthew 7:1-2

I can't seem to memorise this verse! While some people can recite it like the national pledge!
Why why why! That's a simple reminder for us not to judge, so it's important to memorise it.

And the answer to Rastus' dumb question in the previous post is..
Q: what do you get when you squash a bee?
A: Beauty. cos' beauty lies in the eyes hands of the bee-holder (beholder)

That's ULTRA lame.

uh, i think we're in the same boat...

tis' the season to be jolly

Firstly,

YOU. MY MAID COMPLAINED THAT YOU ALWAYS SHOUT OUTSIDE MY HOUSE. (it's true anw) VERY SOON THE WHOLE BLOCK WILL COMPLAIN LA, SO, SHHHHHHH!!! No need to announce that you're saying bye or hello to me -_-
you know who you are hor...

Rastus told us this stupid joke. Or should I say, riddle..

"What do you get when you squash a bee?"

The answer is NOT honey, which is the most common answer. Think out of the box!

Happy belated 16th birthday, Pei Qi,
and happy birthday (16th too) Andrew

That's what I'm reminded of when I step into the school.
Funny. Why ah??
Another thing I'm reminded of is...
it's our last year in PL.
=(


if you know my xanga url, pls zip ;)

my beloved school

In long,
I live PL, I breathe PL, I eat PL (wth???!)
When Mrs LKC was still principal of PL primary, there was a hair rule: cannot keep long hair.
It was the same for the secondary school.
I was only in primary one then, and that school rule didn't really matter to me because my parents did not allow me to have my hair kept long.
Whatever.
I miss my 1998 P5 buddy... whom I 'abandoned' by not waiting for her to come to class to 'pick' me up for recess. Haha.
I miss primary school days... 6 years of PL flew past just like that, and it didn't bother me, for I knew I was going to PL sec.
With a shittified score of 214, still go where?
So I put PL as my first choice and here I am...
Hello.
I hated school for the amount of pressure they put on us, sitting on us, squashing homewok onto us, and the countless handbell practices and remedials and, blah.
Now that there's only a few months left...
I wanna cry lah. I love PL. I don't wanna leave.
Can I retain?
That's a terribly stupid thing to ask.
Anyway.. I'm enjoying school now even though the teachers keep talking about O'levels.
Enjoy while we still can. Cos' very soon, we're going to say bye.
10 years of chapel sessions, singing songs, caring teachers, taking the same busses, same route, same track and field-turned-netball-court, same school song, same blouse white belt pinafore pe shirt pe shorts, thanksgiving services, and who can forget ---> girls. same faces. See some of these faces for TEN YEARS.

In short,
PL is my life and my second home.

There's bound to have ungracious PL lites who are nuisances(?) in public, talking so loudly they think they own the place, some bad attitutes and the never-ending trail of (lesbian) rumours.
That's the minority.
Most of the time, the public will judge a school based on that minority of pupils.
Oh. They have coloured hair. The school has no discipline.
Crap.

Unlike most people, I sing my national and school anthem. Softly though.
Cos' wherever I'm standing, it always seems like nobody is singing.

The school is strict with her rules, but she knows where to draw her lines.
No dyeing, perming or highlighting of hair; hair must be of a natural colour.
Since when has anyone with naturally brown hair been humiliated in front of the school?
As far as I know, I've not seen any.
And note that I'm a kaypoh so that means something.

If it's a natural colour, then you go and dye it into.. say, black or something.
Then DUH you will get into trouble la!
Since you already have problems with the hair, why go and dye to make it worse?

I think everyone's at fault here.
The school: Teachers who know about her hair thingy like our discipline mistress should tell other teachers who has naturally non-black hair and who doesn't, to avoid stressing up the girl. Her pass should have been permenant and not renewable. (my opinion)
The mother: Why she go and dye her daughter's hair??? Why must she make a mountain out of a molehill by calling in the press? Take her daughter out of PL if she's sooooo unhappy then. Why let her stay.
The girl: hmm I don't seem to be able to find any fault? Ok, why did she allow her mum to have her name and face and the school's name published? But then again maybe she didn't have a choice...

Oh wells.
I hope she gets over this as soon as possible, then return to school.
She's still part of the PL family.
Her classmates are worried for her.

details over at xanga
There are a couple of newcomers. Welcome to the family =)

The group looks kinda small.

DUNGed

I need tuition, dangggit!

For science (biology & chemistry), music, accounts, english, physical geography!

WTH la. Like I can't understand bio?
Music is killing me.
So is POA.

Urghness. I can't possibly get tutors for every subject, cos' that means money. Now do I look like a rich kid? No.

Grade 8 piano is driving me all the way to Antartica. It's insanity.

Life is just plain screwed now la!

have been blogging at xanga.com/arpeggios fyi. drop a comment if you go there.

goodbye

They just had to regroup the vocalists. AGAIN. I've been in Team 1 ever since they started this grouping thing. So it's my 3rd year in Team 1. Saw people 'come' and 'go'. haha. This time I'm grouped with 2 others from PLMGS and 1 MGS. 3 cheers for the methodist schools.

I think I need to eat more papayas.

I've got the tune of the 1st movement stuck in my head.

There's going to be a gym in PL, I don't think I'll ever use it. Walking to school/home is good enough. Haha. That's if it doesn't rain.

Turnout for handbell auditions wasn't really good. Last year's was much much better. Now all the CCAs also need auditions, even the clubs and uniformed groups. I find it quite pointless la.

Please give us a nicer handbell costume! I can't wait to see the actual thing. As long as it doesn't look like the choir's. New costume = new colour = new eyeshadow = $$$$$. It'll be fun to have a new choker too.

Well, hello.

I'll be leaving this blog for awhile, and I'm not sure when I will return.
Sorry guys. Won't be replying your tags.

I'm still not sure whether I should drop Music or continue and take the O's, and then if I'm good enough, music A's.
It's stressful.

Oh and one more thing,
plagiarism annoys me. Lots.
Be it x or y.

the loner in me

Sorry, the pic is too big, so you will have to tilt your heads a little.


Don't you just LOVE my class' timetable?
For those not in PL: CG means cell group. Blank means free time. Break 1 & 2 actually means recess and lunch. Pr means practical. R4 means sec 4s must run/jog, like morning jog. And we move to a different (homeroom?) classroom/lab for each lesson.
School starts at 7.20am and ends at 4.10pm on Mondays and Fridays.
(O'level) Music is on Thursdays.
Handbell on Wednesdays?????
Which leaves me with Tuesday afternoon for a short nap and then off for piano lesson.

Such is the life of a 2007 sec 4 PL-lite, some much worse than mine.

I suddenly got these thoughts...

What will happen if...
My fire for God is extinguished?
I backslide from church?
I lose interest in studies?
I find.. that life isn't worth living for?
I wake up to find that I have no friends? or,
My friends turn out to be monsters?

What a way to start the new year.
