BOOM!

We did it.
We actually did it.

WE DID IT,

WE DID IT,

WE DID IT!!!

And not only did we just do it...

WE ROCKED IT!!! \m/ >.< \m/

I loved the launching, I loved the Hakka, I loved the Stomp and I loved the Shalala! Boombiyaya, boombiyaya, boombiyaya, boombiyaya.

It was so awesome. We, the SIC Youth Rally '08 team and Stomp guys, made an impact on people. They were even singing the song in the bathroom! Crowds were looking at us, smiling back at US. And to think we practiced and perfected it all in less than a day. The team spirit was so there, through the jump, the freezes, the nine beats, the shouts, the prayers before every launch. GOD WAS WITH US ON THAT ONE.

You guys, I couldn't have done it without you. It wasn't just cooperation. It was the fact that we were a team. And as the leader of it, I wouldn't mind showing off about how great it was, even if I didn't have to. Because you made it so that I would want to. 'Cause I love the '08 team, I love our awesomeness, I love our team spirit, I love our Jesus, boombiyaya, boombiyaya, boombiyaya, boombiyaya. =)

The SIC YOUTH RALLY 2008. Come on, you know you want more.

*Video to be uploaded.

Here, there and everywhere!

Okay, I have officially given up trying to find out how all the people I know are connected to each others blogs. You know what, I'll just give up trying to figure out how all the people I know are even connected to each other. Complication I don't need in my life.

It's just too bad my fridge does not, and will never, stock enough chocolate for my increasing rate of stress and time management issues. I have a Geo project due next week, Math and more Geo work for tomorrow, the Tae Kwon Do SMKTS closed competition, interhouse netball games and all my brain blasts that I have to fine-tune for the Rally. And all the activities my parents and grandmother come up with. And CF. And basketball, which I haven't been for in months.

When in stress, go watch Barney and his "Pumpernickel Bread" song.

The weekend approaches. No comment. Except that Happy Tree Friends and Re-Pulse rock! Support Malaysian music, support your friends.

Jesus. I mean, read my song again if you don't get it already.

No, and I will never be, even with all the money in the world. I'd probably just buy more and more notebooks and start a guitar pick collection.

Form 2, Science, Chapter 1: the sensitivity of receptors depend on the thickness of the epidermis and number of receptors in the area.

18. Is there anything that you have done which you regret?
Yeah, pulling out of the songwriting competition! I should have read the 2007 Rally book before I made a choice.

19. Do you always think of someone?
Besides Jesus, who has to be on my mind 24/7, just one other person, who I know I can't get, but whatever.

Literally, yes; figuratively, also yes. I dreamt about Nik Syakir 2 years before I even knew who he was. And I believe that all me dreams are acheivable. I wasn't one of the best songwriters for the competition for nothing.

"Hug Me" Teddy

I have just made the biggest mistake of my life.

Seriously.

Very seriously.

Extremely seriously.

I will never trust anybody else's stupid desicion for me again. No way. And I believe that whatever sign God sends for me was made for me and should be used in my desicion-making.

It's not over. And that's a statement.

That was not a lifetime choice. It's not permanent. It's not the end of my dreams. Because God's got a plan for me, and it's His best: all I want. His idea of the best is way better than I could ever dream of the best for me being. I will never doubt His plan for me ever, ever, ever again.

But I'm not going to waste my time regretting. I know exactlywhy I did that.

There are more blessings in my life than anything else. Actually, there are only blessings in my life.

*Sighs*

I can't even emo-post right. I can't even keep myself emo for two hours.

Well, that's good with me.

And at least I'm not mental because I know why: I've given all my burdens, including my life, to Jesus, because He knows how to work it best! If everyone could just trust the Lord, life would be better. Not perfect, but better. Most people I know fill themselves with so much hate and dislike and crap that they don't need.

Nobody said life was easy. But nobody said we should make it worse.

The biggest mistake of my life...is just another mistake (forgiven).

He Is

I wanna write a love song
Write a love song, for You Lord
Because of everything You mean to me
I wanna sing a lifetime of praises
Up to the heavens and it's because
I've got no right to hide this feeling

He is...the reason I'm forever alive
He is more than my small words can describe

Blessed be the the day that I
Was called back to Your side
And made me realize
You're all that's worth living for Lord
If You could, I can give my life
More than a willing sacrifice
Because You are more...

More than my redeemer
My best friend, my guide, my Holy Father
All I couldn't live without
My way, my truth, my hope and light
My strength, my shelter, faith and life
The only One I wanna keep going on about

He is...all that matters for me
He is the reason I sing...

Blessed be the day that I
Was called back to Your side
And made me realize
You're all that's worth living for Lord
If You could, I could give my life
More than a willing sacrifice
Becasue I'll worship You alone...

And it's okay, no one can stop me with Jesus around
It's okay, doesn't matter what they say
Because...

He is...what keeps me living up to the top for Him
He is...why I'm still alive no matter what they think
He is...how all I know came to be
He is my everything...

Blessed be the day that I
Was called back to Your side
And made me realize
You're all that's worth living for Lord
If You could, I can give my life
More than a willing sacrifice
'Cause You're more than my small words can describe
You're the reason I'm alive

What Samantha Ho Means

You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself.
