Grrrrr...

why is it so hard to do??

but then again it's not surprising, even Paul says in Romans that it's hard to do.
But still..

No excuses right?

Good Friday is not about me.
It's about You.

Was browsing around You Tube and came across Anna Nalick.


Her voice is amazing.




Am having problems downloading her music. =p
Any good sites to recommend?

"Praise You In This Storm"

I was sure by now
God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to you
And you raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth

Women.

It doesn't matter how brilliant we think we are.

We're fools when it comes to love.

Ever wonder why we make it difficult for you ( assuming you're a guy)?

Because we need to know that you're worth it.
Because we need to know that you'll never stop fighting for us.
Because we need to know that we'll never, one day, not be good enough for you.
Because we need to know that you'll protect our heart like it's yours.


Because we're are delicate, emotional beings that submit.

And once we know.
Once we're sure.

We'll never give up, never let go.

Not untill you stop fighting for us.
Not untill you stop protecting our hearts.


Women - we're just stupid.
Why can't it all be about sex and looks?

Of late , I've been so much of a scatter brain.
Behind in everything.
Breaking my glasses AGAIN.
Falling down and getting a humongous bruise.
Losing my keys.

What's wrong?


Sighs.

WOE TO ME.
self pity, not an attractive trait.

Btw, doesn't Jun Shi look so cute in the video. =)
Haha.

And we'd make a very successful girl band I reckon.

The best way to take away naturalness from someone is to point a camera at them.
This was taken when we were pretty much unaware.

The best way to make someone uneasy is to scrutinise them.

Unwanted attention makes people self conscious.

All besides the point.

What do you do on a saturday night when all you need is a piece of bublé?

AND the bublé's angels.. caught in the act!

"~...in this "CREYzzyyyy TAIMmme " towards the end.

This song will never be the same again......

Between now and Friday, I have a million things to do.

Time management.
I need to learn it.
HELP.

Simple words of wisdom.

You chose it.
Do it.
Do it well.
Do it happily.

So true so true. =)

Truly encouraging

I want to say so many things......

But...today I discovered...

That is isn't hard to be opinionated.

The hard part is keeping those opinions to myself when it isn't necessary for those opinions to be shared.

Everyone wants to be heard.

We need more people who are willing to shut up.
I've always been more of a listener.
Society labels listeners as anti social, quiet, not outgoing, no opinions, soft, nothing to say.

But you know what?

In the end we're all just different

RANDOM

When I start thinking, my brain goes into overload. Distracted, nail biting, restless ( or maybe just a reason for pure procrastination)


When I stop moving, when I stop expecting, when I stop wanting, and craving,


The emptiness screams,


there's no way this world is enough for me.


Craving for something different.

Or maybe I want more of the same things.
To go skin deep.

To live life the way it's meant to be lived.

REASONS TO SMILE

I do this every year.
I list out things that made me smile.

Too lazy to look for more pictures now.
Picture posts are actually more time-consuming than written post.
Good excuse for procrastination.

The Malaysian general elections are coming up.

For the first time in my 21 years, I'm actually paying attention to what's happening in my country.
My first memory of elections was back in Tawau, where I saw blue flags with white scales hanging from every electric pole in the city.
I remember at 12 or 13, how I idolised Dr Mahathir and how he was the 'good guy'. In contrast, the main opposition team leader in Sabah at that time was an 'evil' villian trying to buy over votes by giving the bumiputera land.
I remember seeing that same opposition leader shaking hands with people in the market and I refused to go over to shake his hand because to me he was 'evil'.

I'm the first to say that I don't know anything about Malaysian politics.

I get my news from the Malaysian papers. And we know how reliable the Malaysian papers are especially during the elections.

I know that the opposition can hardly expect to get any airtime on our local papers so they have to resort to other options to get information out.

I know that these local paper said that nearly all 2004 promises were carried out.
I remember how the prime minister ran for the 2004 elections with promises of reducing corruption.

How about claims that postal votes are being manipulated?
And the BERSIH rally for electoral reforms.( And how the rally was brushed aside and misreported by local media).

How about what our BN representatives have said?

" If you cannot fight rape, better lay down and enjoy it."
" Malaysia is an Islamic state. If you don't like it, get out of Malaysia.

We have so much more to worry about than sex scandals and have ministers.

We are allowing our own leaders to DEGRADE us.

Our current deputy prime minister
" Revoke the citzenship of those who oppose the Malay leaders.May 13 has begun and soak it ( the keris) with Malaysian Chinese blood."

UMNO is unsinkable.


Undilah Barisan National.

Orang Malaysia untuk Malaysia. ( Malaysians for Malaysia)

Tetapi adakah Malaysia untuk orang Malaysia? (But is Malaysia for Malaysians?)
