Take That - Rule The World

Not too sure if you've watched Stardust, but it was an absolutely delight in my opinion. It was one of the rare movies that sucked me right into its magical story, and made me want to be part of the adventure. :D

So I was surfing around and stumbled upon a link that brought me to this song, and now that I watched the featured four minutes from this video, it brings back so many sweet scenes from the movie.

Gosh, if you haven't watched it, please do. You're missing something really really good. :)



This is the official music video, so the song sounds crispier. ;) (although I still prefer the version on top. :P)

Boney M - Daddy Cool

Music indeed transcends time huh? :D

After Arul introduced this song to me, I was so hooked to the tune! Super funky can!

Three decades ago (or in exact, 32 years), this song used to be a top hit in the charts then! *w00t!* Even older than me can. haha..

Enjoy!

はじめまして！

Ok that's super limited. But that's all for now. :P

Good Friday Aftermath

And so it all wraps up yesterday. :D

It was three months worth of weekly rehearsals, with the songs stuck in my head no matter where I was, be it traveling on the road, relaxing at home, or working in the office. After investing so much time into memorising the lyrics and learning the tenor parts of the songs, they left such a deep impression that they bring back sweet reminiscence with every playback. :)

Even the choreography for the songs affected our future decisions for choices in dance moves and steps. :D (For example, today's Miracle Service~ :P)

The warmth of ministering to God's people, the joy that raises from within, the souls that were won, the cheers of the crowd, the enlightening message, the touching mime performance, together with the God anointed atmosphere, I nearly dint want the service to end.

To sum everything up, it was an unforgettable Good Friday. :)

A little side info, I dint realise that we were featured on Channel News Asia! :D Watch the news video here!

No Access To Internet

Two days back when I returned home, it was to my displeasure to find that my internet service is down. Now I have no idea what the problem might be. It could be a case of a spoilt modem, temporary poor service (highly unlikely since it had been a good two days), or could be any other plausible reasons that you might think of.

Bottom line is, I don't know what happened. :S

Furthermore, these days had been really busy for me. Rehearsals for tomorrow's Good Friday performance had been running very often, and in the interim other important stuff found their way to fill up my schedule. After this busy period, I will go and check out what actually went wrong and hopefully be able to update from home again.

Till then guys! :)

Good Friday 2008: Watch The Lamb

Today finally marked my maiden performance on stage! Haha.. It didn't turn out as scary as I thought though! Thank God for that! I wasn't even nervous to begin with. haha.. Maybe I was too yaya papaya already~ :P

Help spread the love again! :D

This coming Friday, 21 March, will be another important milestone for me in serving in my ministry. For the past 3 months we've been practicing weekly for the songs, parts, and choreography. I'm very certain it's going to be a blast! *whoohoo!*

I'm happy to invite all of you to come and join me in giving praise and glory to God! Give me a call or sms if you are coming! I'll be more than happy to provide directions. :))

Enchanted

I still remember the moment when I first saw posters of this movie in AMK MRT station, my mind already concluded that this show would be crappy and corny. Animation mix with real actors? Hmm... plus the expressions in the posters dint really make stuff look any more interesting. :S

Then the time came when out of curiousity, I checked the rating of this movie on imdb, and I was shocked! 7.9??!! :O

I couldn't help myself but to get this movie and now after watching it, just how wrong I got!?! This movie is simply stunning! The aftermath made me super duper high and happy, and I nearly wanted to watch it for a second time in a row! Every single touch of it was great to the details. :)

Guess I'm the kind of person who always looks forward to feel-good movies, that's why this one stood particularly strong above the crowd. From an adult point of view, I totally enjoyed the concept, the acting, and not to mention the songs! :D Oh how I adore Amy Adams' singing scenes! Reminds me of my visit to Disneyland even! :D

Leaving me so entertained, I simply can't imagine the joy it would bring to children! So what more can I say, Walt Disney proved themselves once again with this masterpiece of wholesome family entertainment!

《简单就是美2》。赞！

每逢周二晚都会和大家分享自己的梦与感想，这将会变成一种习惯吗？其实这个“习惯”多半归功于《简单就是美2》的影响。随着节目的落幕，接下来可能也没那么多话好讲了吧。哈哈。。

一切都告一段落了。

很圆满，很充实。
很幸福，很简单。

在每集地播出，我都不自觉地会把笑容挂在脸上，心藏也随着吉他的旋律起伏而跳动着。节目给于内心的感动，是无限的。所翔实介绍的地方与人物，让我心驰神往。杂货的再循环和环保的重要性，也由此让我有更深层的了解。

这一切的一切，都好美，好美。或许就在这种简单中，才能让人体会到“美”的真正含义吧。

自从播出Wwoof那一集之后，我好憧憬着到那儿去，过着平平静静，悠闲自在的生活。如今的我年仅二十四，背的包袱不算多，其实正是到外国多看多听多体验多学习的最佳阶段。将来若有妻儿老小，梦想很有可能已沦为空想了。

想猜一猜吸引我追看的另一个原因吗? :D

因这节目而起，我对华文的热诚又盟起新芽。佩芬在节目中对旁白的词汇运用拿捏的非常好，一点儿也不夸张或花俏，是我学习的典范。她能把单调的风景影象和人们心声，描述的犹如我亲身体验般，所带给我的内心与语文冲击，可想而知。

有个莫名其妙的想法，就是到高层学府去进修华文。哈哈。。但是我也太了解自己是不会那么做的。与其进修华文，我宁愿利用那段时间去一趟日本，学习有机耕种法，健康饮食法为优先。

世界好大，我想做的事也太多了。在我厌倦朝九晚五的那一天，便是我踏上实现憧憬之路之时。;)

《简单就是美2》：完结篇

没经过mian的批准就从《简单就是美》的非官方部落格中把以上的照相纳为己用，希望mian可别介意！:D

再大约过多二十一个小时就是《简单就是美2》的完界篇了。心里中的期待带着一丝丝的不舍，好矛盾的感觉啊！唯一清楚的是，我还真不想一切就这样告一段落。咳。。。

无论如何，今晚九点半铁定待在家收看。:)

I'm Performing!

The key highlight of this week, and of course the reason for this post, is that I'm finally going to perform in the Miracle Service this Saturday! This day had finally arrived! :D

Help spread the love! :)

However, because this Saturday coincides with the annual Manila Miracle Revival, my performance may or may not happen, depending on the smoothness and clarity of the transmission from Manila via satellite.

With no obligations, do come to my church, Lighthouse Evangelism, at either the Woodlands or Tampines branch, and experience the mighty healing power of God! :D

(Of course, try to come to the Woodlands branch la... Can maybe see me wor! :P)

2 x Happy News!!

Here's some quick happy news to update everyone. :D

Firstly, as of yesterday, I got my confirmation in my job! *yayyyyy!!* :D After three months of grueling work involving programming exploration and intense effects research, not to mention several extreme deadlines, I'm glad I've proven myself worthy to stay in Tequila! :D

Just something I would like to share. :) For the time that I've worked till now, I've realised that it's important not to perceive work as mundane chores, which if you allow, will steal away your very passion itself. Though in the event of tight deadlines some stuff have to be given up, always find time to play with your work, and be yourself.

In this way, work becomes playtime and your job evolves to become your playground. ;) (what an idealist? :P Nahh.. you can make it if you so chooses. :))

Secondly, which I consider to be my next huge step in my spiritual journey with God, is that I've gotten confirmation in my Praislight ministry! :D

Strange that the timing is around the same with my job confirmation, but my six months worth of probation apparently ended today when sister Girlie called me up to inform that I will start serving from next Saturday at the Miracle Service onwards! *whoohoo!*

Excitement as it is, I'm kind of feeling jittery about it. The turnout every Saturday for Miracle Service, if I'm not wrong, can go up to a few hundred!! The entire sanctuary will be flooded with people every single time! To be one of those performing on stage is like.... is like... wobbly? :S

I will trust God though, for He is my provider of strength and talent. Since He arranged for me to be in this ministry, and with sister Girlie's patient guidance over the last six months, I believe I can make it one. *wosh!*

My 29th Of February, 2008

This past week had been awfully hectic. Deadlines were lined up one after another, and I had to OT every day just to meet up with the expectations from clients. Two of the days even saw me working past midnight, with one till 3am. :S

I feel so terribly drained. "Drained" is just one word though. Put exhausted, fatigued, weary, tired and worn out together, and they probably paint a better picture (although they actually have the same meaning! :P).

It's the first crazy period in my new job and it certainly won't be the last. Nonetheless, the results and feedback that I got really encourages me to push forward, and I'm in fact, very happy with what I've learnt throughout this experience. :)

With today being a Friday, and since I committed to serve God in the choir, I rushed to church after work for my weekly practice for the upcoming Good Friday performance. It was as if God took away the fatigue that was plaguing my body and burdening my spirit. :D The practice was extremely rejuvenating, nearly a blast if I may say, and I felt so blessed to be singing and grooving along with all the Praislighters. Seeing how God work really amazes me every single time. :)

The icing to top off the day however, was the fellowship that I had with Harry and Clara post practice. Dinner at Admiralty's McDonald's was the main plan, but it soon evolved to a 2 hours talk-cock session. :P

It had been eons since I last chatted with friends at any McDonald's joint, so this time it brings back some good ol' reminiscences as well. The topics we touched on were so widely diversified, that all of us had our own fair share of extreme, uncontrollable laughter. :D (You know, those type when you lean back and forth while laughing? :P) We had so much fun talking, to the point that we nearly forgot that it was nearly midnight!

Since I'm going to start serving in the Saturday's Miracle Service in March, I believe such conversations can only happen more often. ;)

Well, my 29th February 2008 was being marked from tiredness, to rejuvenation, and ended with laughter. How's yours? :D
