When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
One more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on, hold on I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand
Another head aches, another heart breaks
I am so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no
Help me out
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner
You know you got to help me out
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier

but i dont wanna go
all looking fine and dolled up for SMASH '07 and vision night at the oh-so-quaint rosette at sha villa. great food. haha
and happy 21st birthday to sam chin. held at aloha resort with a beautiful view of the sea and sunset. amazing feeling to have the breeze and colours like these around you. great food too. :)
now i've to hold on dearly to these memories as i'm whisked off to another foreign land for another month. honestly, the feeling sucks. but thanks to darren's enlightening words.. i'm reminded to work towards being the salt and light of the world wherever and whenever.

looking back on last year's post on the same day..
"..now is the first minute of the first hour of the last day of the year 2005.
i loved 2005 really. hated some parts though. but thanks to God.. i can still look at the big picture and smile. things i wanted.. He gave me.. some He didn't. but of course, its all for a good reason. i've also learnt that i'm more of an introvert rather than an extrovert and that i'm a thinker rather than a feeler. rather cool. haha. 2005 was a year that i didnt look forward to very much. thanks to the A levels. but when i look back.. well.. it wasnt that bad after all. wouldnt mind experiencing it again. but then again.. life is about moving on. i'm gonna miss this year. cant help but have a sense of nostalgia at the end of every year. i guess its only human. what 2006 holds... i dont know. i can get pretty scared when i think too much into it. but i know that i can pray for it. i pray that it would make me stronger. pray that i'd learn more. pray that i'd grow. pray for better relationships. pray that i'd be the man of God i always wanted to be. pray for a new zoom effects pedal. haha. but really.. nothing starts a year better then committing it to God.
From the fullness of His grace we have all recieved one blessing after another. ~John 1:16
be really merry.."
wow.. it was just like yesterday that i wrote that entry. the speed that time goes by can be really scary at times. just last year i remember i was still figuring out what ns would turn out to be like.. how i would spend the free 4 months waiting for enlistment.. how much i would change.. how much guts i had to go for things that i really wanted.
haha what do your know.. its been one year.. and i've done a few jobs, got my own car, experienced the jungle like never before, became wiser in some ways (i hope), learnt from some mistakes. man! there's just so much to recall about. just one year.. 365 days. so many things have happened. yet it all seemed to have started from yesterday.
one word to describe my 2006 - defining.
as for 2007.. i want to get real with God again. i have realised that in 2006.. it was difficult to spend time with God. hopefully that will change this year. and as usual.. i always wish for another special year. wouldn't it be cool to recall each year by a particular special event? somehow.. i predict that 2007 would be a year whereby i'll have to make decisions. the choices i make this year concerns the rest of my life really. hope God would help me in that. and also i might be joining back in the yc as a core leader or play for the adult worship team. well.. yet to fully realise God's plan in my life for 2007.
and as for 2007 resolutions.. i've been idle over that.. guilty as charged. anyway.. a few things from the top of my head to start off with.. 1) start caculating the cost of car maintainence 2) get back on reviving my guitar skills 3) find a comms ball date 4) finish that damned book that's been left on page 53 since 2 months ago
