life is the light in the darkness of death

Your Word is a light unto my path
Your Love guides me through my darkest night
And even though sometimes Your ways
I cannot understand
I'll never walk away because my future's
In Your hands

I don't care what people will say
I'm running after You
I won't turn back and go their way
Coz I'm running after You
Yeah I'm running after You
I'm running after You

I don't care what people will say
I'm running after You
I won't turn back and go their way
Coz I'm running after You
Don't matter what may come my way
I'm running after you
It's You I’m following today
I'm running after You

Song of the Week

Pieces- Sum 41

I tried to be perfect,
But nothing was worth it,
I don’t believe it makes me real.
I thought it’d be easy,
But no one believes me,
I meant all the things I said.

If you believe it’s in my soul,
I’d say all the words that I know,
Just to see if it would show,
That I'm trying to let you know,
That I’m better off on my own.

This place is so empty,
My thoughts are so tempting,
I don’t know how it got so bad.
Sometimes it’s so crazy,that nothing can save me,
But it’s the only thing that I have.

If you believe it's in my soul,
I’d say all the words that I know,
Just to see if it would show,
That I'm trying to let you know,
That I'm better off on my own.

I tried to be perfect,
It just wasn't worth it,
Nothing could ever be so wrong.
It’s hard to believe me,
It never gets easy,
I guess I knew that all along.

If you believe it’s in my soul,
I’d say all the words that I know,
Just to see if it would show,
That I'm trying to let you know,
That I’m better off on my own.

maybe im too emo nowadays for my own good.
but life sometimes gets so confusing tt it's hard to know who u are.
maybe i lost myself somewhere along the lines.
now tt'll make wonderful lyrics.
but even lyrics fade away.
and when they do, i hope it'll be ok, for u and for me.

i'm back. it's been more den half a year since i last posted smth. a pity. it's been a long time coming.

Shadows and Regrets- Yellowcard

I'm back, back in town, and everything has changed
I feel, feel let down, the faces stayed the same
I see, see shadows, of who we used to be
When I drive, drive so slow,
Through this memory.

When we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go of the rest

I heard, heard myself, say things I take back
If I could, could retell, and make these stories last
I see, see shadows, of who we'll always be
When I drive, drive these roads, they made our memories

When we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go of the rest
The shadows and regrets
And let go of the rest

Everything has changed (everything has changed)
Faces stayed the same (faces stayed the same)
Everything has changed (everything has changed)
Faces stayed the same
When we were only kids
And our time couldn't end
And how tall did we stand
With the world in our hands

And we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go of the rest
The shadows and regrets
And let go of the rest
The shadows and regrets
And let go of the rest

lol. the power of kids are amazing. really. so to say that we should be child-like is indeed wise words.

i'm dying at the moment from a cough cum throat infection which has lasted more den a month. it sucks to be sick, cos i'm really eager and hungry to get myself in shape for next year. it's supposed to be the sabbath right? probably. but that wont stop me from pushing myself to that whole new level of fitness. it's coming to the end of the year. maybe i'll stop to look back sometime in the remaining 2 months. but as for now. it's looking forward to a new school year and all the challenges that i want to conquer even b4 they begin.
so here are my holiday goals:
1)Buff up by doing weights everyday
2)Train my cross country and sprints (4.8km in 19 mins, 100m in 35s)
3)Master electric guitar (form a band)
4)Train field soccer
5)Train hockey
6)Cover half of next year's syllabes briefly

they said during the lang arts paper review on thurs tt we will hit the ground running.
yeap. i'm gonna be ready for 2008. hopefully i'll keep my word. cos after seeing isaac get 42 pts and a 89 mark average, it motivates me to push even harder.
i want to make my mark.
year 5 certainly brings abt its own challenges. i needa make the best out of it.
till den, it's 100% hard work.

satisfaction comes with self-fulfillment. this is mine.

wow..
wow..
wow..

here's what soccer's abt..
in history it shall be written:

28th april 2007, a saturday..
lunchtime in England,
but lunch aint on the ppl's minds,
its the return of the epl..
the world's best league..
and they found out y..

the early fixtures read:
everton vs man u
chelsea vs bolton
it was the 1st time in a very long time both teams played simultaneously

pre match standings:
man u had a 3 pt lead over chelsea with just 4 games to go at the top of the epl

man u knew it wasnt an easy game..in fact..probably one of their hardest..
manager fergie described it as a "cup final"
my gosh did it play out like one heck of a drama series..

early in the game
and man u found themselves 1-0 down after carrick deflected the ball into his own net from a rocket of a free kick..
a slow start for man u..
they need something special to get them going..
oh..
and player of the season c.ronaldo started on the bench being rested for the vital milan game this coming wed.

it was not so bad considering not too long later did chelsea also find themselves 1-0 down to bolton in the other game..
but they equalized 3 mins later through kalou..
and the same player popped up to score the goal tt gave chelsea a half time 2-1 lead.

so at halftime the scores stand:
everton 1 man u 0
chelsea 2 bolton 1

by the looks of things, if the score stands the same for both games,
chelsea wld have totally closed the 3 pt gap between them and man u..
and man u wld only lead chelsea on goal diff, with both having 82 pts.
keep in mind that man u still has to travel to stanford bridge to play chelsea nx week.
so the outcome of today's matches wld be vital..

its the start of the 2nd half in the everton man u game.
man u start it off brightly with constant pressure on the everton defence..
but out of the blue pops fernandes with an absolutely cracker tt stuns man u.
united are down 2-0 with time running out..

meanwhile, chelsea still lead bolton 2-1..
united are in deep trouble if they dun do anything soon..

united has a corner on the hour mark.
carrick takes it..
routine catch for the everton keeper..
oh my word, he's fumbled the ball
and o shea is there to make it everton 2 man u 1
significance of this..the keeper who fumbled was only playing cos tim howard, the man u keeper on loan to everton cldnt play as stated in his contract against his rightful club.

game on..
united's confidence is growing..
alex ferguson the united manager decides its worth risking the portugese winger ronaldo and off the bench he comes..

meanwhile, chelsea's turn to take a blow as bolton draw level 2-2 via kevin davies.
nerves are starting to fray..

back to the united game and within 5 mins of their 1st goal, man u have equalised!
and the manner they did is astonishing..
phil neville scores an own goal.
of all ppl..
the everton captain phil..
for those who dont know, phil is the bro of gary neville who is currently injured at man u and is also the captain of man u..
phil used to be a man u player but was sold a few seasons ago..
today he unintentionally helps out his old club by scoring an own goal..
and so united have drawn level 2-2.

chelsea's turn to be in trouble..
they struggle while man u are on the ascendency

and ironically it was rooney who gave man u the lead..
unlike phil..there were no favours for his old club everton..
u see..
rooney came from everton..he grew up there and played for them until he was sold to man u.
and despite the boos from the everton fans, he cooled popped up with a goal

united lead 3-2..
chelsea are being held 2-2
what a turn around..

and with the final whistle at chelsea's game,
man u's confidence sky rocketed..
and they sealed their destiny..
chris eagles, a youth player who has not been in the man u senior team line up for 2 years comes on for the ageing solkjaer..
and with just mins to go..
he puts the iceing on the cake with a superb curler
wad a goal for the young lad on his debut for man u..

man u 4 everton 2
chelsea 2 bolton 2

final whistle at goodison park and alex ferguson and his men are celebrating as though they've won the epl..
rightly so..
from in danger of being tied with chelsea to 5 pts ahead of them
and it cld well be confirmed nx weekend tt the epl returns to old trafford..

and mind u..
the fixtures are tasty..
just listen to this:

man u vs man city
chelsea vs arsenal

crunching..absolutely crunching..
the manchester derby is one where u expect nth more den dead serious rivalry and 100% from both sides
and den there's the clash between arsenal and chelsea..
old rivals in a mouth watering london derby..
chelsea have to win if they were to have any hope of catching man u..
and they have to do it big time against a young rising arsenal team lead by the ever inspiring 19 year old.. Cesc Fabregas..

if football doesnt make u go goo goo ga ga over it..
i dont know what will..

check out my cell's blog for my more recent entries..

life's been sweet..
watching the ppl around me crumble doesnt make one happy..
but at least i do see them crumbling slowly now..

my 4th eye?
perhaps..
wisdom has been God's amazing gift to me..
while ppl get themselves caught up in complicated worldy issues..

i can see everything clearly now..
clearer den even b4..
life is so darn simple..u must be kidding me to say its complicated..

3 rules:
1) make God ur 1st priority and He must mean everything to u..(nth else will ever shake ur faith)

2) if tts so.. do u think wad u deciding to do is part of God's plan for u? do u think God will be pleased with u?

3) if yes..do it with everything u've got..if no..den its simple..NO means NO..so simply dont do it..

3 rules..
nth chim..
simply simple..

i really needa go publish a book on "how to live your life" one day..
$$
nah..

i love this song lately!!!

Love You Lately - Daniel Powter
Genre/Lang. : Pop

You packed your last two bags. A taxi's 'round the bend.
You used to laugh out loud, But you can't remember when.
You lost your lies.
It's like your moving out of time, And the whole word crumbles right beneath you.
So, I might've made a few mistakes, But that was back when you would smile,
And we would go everywhere, But we ain't been there for awhile.
And this I know, There's a place that we can go-
A place where I can finally let you know.

'Cause I'm the one that loves you lately.
You and me, we got this great thing.
We're the only one's that around,
We're the only one's that around this Babylon.

I hope you find whatever you've been lookin' for.
Just remember where you're from and who you are,
'Cause there's a thousand lights that'll make you feel brand new,
But if you ever lose your way, I'll leave one on for you.

'Cause I'm the one that loves you lately.
You and me, we got this great thing.

So, come back, get here, sit down. Relax.
Everything's to see that you've come a long, long way,
And it's the place that you should be.

'Cause I'm the one that loves you lately.
You and me, we got this great thing.
'Cause I'm the one that loves you lately.
You and me, we got this great thing.
And we're the only one's that around,
We're the only one's that around this Babylon.

feeling better now..
=)
praise the Lord..

Tzup 6:41 e pasdites

ok..lets face it..enough of the fake smile..enough of trying to feel happy..
this hols has been the worse ever..
its made me sick..literally emotionally..wadeva..
gimme a break!!!

argh..cant a 15 year old boy enjoy his youth without being bugged and pressured every single day of his life??
everyone is not doing anything to help me when i need it most..
all they are doing is heaping more and more stuff on me and i dun tink i can take it much longer..

i mean look at this..
ive got 24 hours in 1 day..tts all ive got..

and wad is everyone expecting me to do in 24 hours?
wow..expecting me to do this..do tt..
and wads left at the end of the day is a very depleted me..

problems problems more problems..
i dun usually make many mistakes but whenever i do i get bombarded with things i dun wanna hear..all sorts of nonsense..
even inanimate objects seem to dislike me and make me pay for past mistakes..
silly rite?
well..yeah..

stuck in utter frustration..
no one really gives a damn abt wad im going thru..
stupid cold hard world..
all they care is abt themselves..using me to reach their goals and wad have u..

im treated like a hero when i work my socks and when i rest they refuse to give up their endless bugging and telling me i need to go on..
im human for gdness sake..
cant a human decide for himself he needs a break?
dont i have a right like everyone else?

enough of commitment..tts a word so wrongly used..
wad is commitment to u ppl anw?
slaving urself to smth not worth slaving urself to?
commitment is brainwashing for gdness sake..

its so disgusting..the way ppl use the word commitment..
the poor word is shamed..
its getting so very more often tt ppl use the word to compliment ppl who mindlessly enlist themselves in non-logical things.

im sick of it..
sick of this world..
sick of all this nonsense..

my loyalty is to God and no one else..and i owe nth to anyone except Him..

sometimes i really wish i had someone other den God to be really close to..

haha..hello..i haven posted for a very very long time..

2 weeks of iba followed by 2 weeks in new zealand..
2 weeks of stress and probably followed by 2 weeks of intense preparation for the new year ahead..

wow..its december already..
2006 has been a tremendous year for me..
life in 2006 has been like a book, and its full of pages..
ive been the pen..God has been the hand..
and every ink of my talent and strength has been used to its max.

and the ups and downs are incredible..
and its getting more frequent..

haha..i'll once again try and cover the entire year in my nx post but this post shall be used to tok abt more recent things..

well..
ive been really stressed for the last couple of weeks..
soccer has been the same as always so not much of probs coming from there..
hockey has not been so relaxing if u cld use tt word..
the thought of playing a div itself makes me exhausted..esp wad ive been thru in b div this year..

its bad enough having to try and keep up with my year 5 teammates.. now ask me to play better against ppl 2 years older den me? i dun tink tts very fair to me..
im just a sec4 guy with enough probs trying to keep up with his studies and pleasing everyone..
i cld make do without the stress of training almost every schoolday for half the year and having my weekends taken up with the u18 tournament..

dun forget i really wanna serve God and be more involved in church nx year.. its the YEAR of VICTORY..so..
i tink id also spend my time doing more meaningful stuff den spending time trying to prove myself for nth..
rather..i go serve in some old folks home.. maybe do more community work..
set up my own club..
learn new skills..say archery for example..

plus my parents already say they dun allow me to play a div cos it clashes with my mid year exams..true..
b div is gonna give me enough headaches for term 1..i dun wan it to last until term 2.

im still sick i tink..cough and wad not..
sian..
must be cos of the stress..
hw is such a bore..
i need a break..
a REAL hol where all i can do is have fun..

k..
now a look on the brighter side of things..
hmm..church rox..
=P
it so does..
its like a refuge and whenever i go church all my probs almost seem to disappear..
God has been so gracious to me..
and i tink my lesson to be learnt is to let go of things..

and step out in true faith to do things differently this time around..
life is getting monotonous after awhile..
time to spice is up abit dun u tink?

haha..man united is also in tip top form..
if u watched their game against benfica u noe wad im toking abt..
haha..ownage..onslaught..wadeva u call it..
it was just a fabulous display of football..

u noe wad their secret weapon is now?
haha..its wad makes them diff from previous years..

they've changed their style..
oh yes..they have..
not really their style but now they play with a new dimension..
and in case u haven noticed yet..
its called: REVERSE PASSING..
and its very effective..
pass to someone and run into space, taking ur marker with u..
the person u passed to passes back in the same direction as he is being closed down..
to another team mate hu has run into the space u left behind without anyone tracking him..

superb aint it?
really shifts the defence along with scholsey's pin point long passing to the wings and carricks thru balls and distribution ..streches the defence..ronaldo is more mature and pacy den ever..
saha has added fluency to united's game and the central defence pairing of vidic and rio ferdinand..
i must say..vidic is as gd as terry if not better in my books, and ive not seen a central defence as fiersome as them in years..
gd job fergie..
all the way man united!!!
im a happy man..
=)

happy hols..
