Spirit Touch your Church

I am sick and tired of having to worry about everything! I've got my own life to live! Everything around me is dying. And then you ask me if i'm doing anything to help rectify and salvage whatever freaking problem! The answer is that i have and i am still trying my utmost to do something about this DAMN thing! But I am only ONE person! I can't move a mountain as much as i would like to! Now tell me, what in the world am i suppose to do? As much as i would like to see a spiritual revival, it's not possible! Everything is status quo. Maybe there is, but it's not as significant as we would like it to be! This thing is affecting everyone! Everyone is down, everyone is tired, everyone is drained right to the core! Some even at the lowest point of their life now. I don't want to see those whom i care for disappear, walk out one by one, fade away, whatever. I am as drained as anyone is! Please, someone tell me how long is this thing going to last? I'm tired... Very tired in fact... Tried sharing, but nothing is happening. Do you see it as a whole? It's not just us, youth, but sadly, the church as well. You tell me how? How? HOW? HOW? Even as i am typing right now, i doubt this streams of tears can help do anything, or wash away any sorrows. I suppose this is a time where we have to really stick together as a body of Christ and do something, support each other, not tear each other down. It seems that the devil has caused many of us to stumble already or has gotten the better of some of us. But let us not give up hope, brothers and sisters, for this battle is not over yet. Many of us are forgetting the Almighty One up there who is in control of everything. Where is our faith? And are we placing our faith where we should? For "faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" -Hebrews 11:1 Please walk with me, through this trial. Let us do something together for the sake of our church and most importantly, for God.

I dreamt of a wonderful place
where golden light touches my face
Springs of warm water flows
And scales of fishes glows
Rainbow above me
Colors too wondrous to see
Gentle fronds tickle
Toes feel the water trickle
A place where we curl up on sand
As we hold each other’s hands

But departure draws nigh
As the sea withdraws its tide
I have sorrow to hide
Without you by my side
Where skies darken
The sea burns
Trees weep for roots taken
My heart churns
That your departure nears
Leaves me Only, in my lonely tears

Yet I could see
The stars burning bright
reassuring me that we will be in each other's sight
And that my gut feeling is right
Yes, we will meet alright

Snores.. Boring..

Many things happened lately. Some of which were pleasant, but mostly things I wished didn't happen. The holidays are finally here. Yes, I’m finally blogging again. Sorry ya. The past week was just plain studying. Studied in church to prevent myself from slacking around at home. Ya. Had to see BJ practically everyday. Well then, loads of things are troubling me but I don't wish to type them down cuz it wouldn't help much. For those of you who know what happened, I hope we will pray along side each other. Ya..

Just came back from piano lesson not too long ago. Today had 2 hours to make-up for the sat I was having my papers. My piano teacher is really ZAI man.. I'm really impressed by her piano skills and everything. She is really really good. The way her fingers run. My gawsh.. Jaw really can drop one lor. She told me about her family background and I felt really inferior lor. Her elder sister is a Head Professor in Oxford University, wrote quite a number of books, her name is Shirley Chew. Her elder brother is an ambassador for Singapore in the states or something. She herself is an accomplished pianist, she quite a lot of certificates. Her younger brother just graduated from NTU with masters in something lah.. Asked her about perfect pitch and stuff. Finally got the answer from someone wise. *Hey mikh! Perfect pitch can't be trained! It's inborn!* Asked her if it can be trained, she told me it's not possible. The only way is to remember a particular key. But then again, it is not accurate. She said there are pros and cons to having a perfect pitch. Well, something like, people with perfect pitch get really agitated with out of tune notes. A piece that's been played before has to be in the key he/she played before or it'll affect the pitch thingy. She played through my Beethoven song and was pleasantly surprised with her ability to memorize the entire piece and still play the entire piece as though it's a grade 1 piece. Shocking.

Man. I can't help but talk about Singapore Idol because it really sucks. I don't blame the contestants for singing horribly but the judges. The reason why the outcome is so horrible is because the feedback given by the judges aren't constructive at all! For heavens' sake! Talk about their voices! Close your bloody eyes and listen to their voice with your ears! Don’t look at their dress sense! Hello! This is a SINGING COMPETITION if you are still left somewhere in project runway land! I think I can be a better judge then you. Or for a matter of fact, I think my piano teacher can be better then you. You are trying to groom an idol out of this. At the rate you're going. You're more likely to groom an idiot out! Thus far, the only person I think is good enough to be an idol is Jonathan Leong. The others.. Cannot make it.. They can't even sing a song in tune! The moment they start singing, the TV. just seems to find a way to switch itself off. Like how cool is that right?? K. Enough. Don't wanna continue already. All I can say is, for the next round of Singapore Idol, PEOPLE WHO CAN SING, PLEASE, FOR GOODNESS SAKE, JOIN THE DARN COMPETITION! Well then, that's all for one day. Take care!
