Fanatics. Yeap. We're all such fanatics.. Still..they are irresistable to so many. :)

yeap..it has the melt in your mouth effect

Family Trait or Excuse??

He couldn't get it

I explained again

He stared at it..dumb-founded

I started to get agitated

Patience! my heart cautioned

He stares at it

Hands unmoved

Come on! I said

What? He retorted

I repressed all anger

He subdued all his frustration

A fraction of memory relived..

How familiar this seems?

Could this be me?

I stopped..sighing

With forced patience

I explained yet again

Slowly, very slowly he uttered..

I understand..

Do it, then!! I half yelled

His hands traces the empty space

Wanting to write..but

N-O-T-H-I-N-G..

He starts to shake..

I start to scream..

"IT'S JUST BASIC ALGEBRA, IVAN!!!"

Ed's so far ok with math but he struggled.. like him.. I struggled too. I was worse than him actually. :P I failed add math till trials came and even then, 44 was all I got. How many times I cried when I attempted those questions!! Not until form 5 did I started to like numbers again.. After much hardship I discovered a joy in doing math and algebra. I was so happy when I saw B3 next to the word, Additional Mathematics. I leaped with joy practically. :D

Still..there is this trait between us.. to put it plainly.. WE'RE TERRIBLE AT MATH!!! Yet, it's not an excuse. So what if we're not so mathematical scientific? That does not give us the right to say we can flunk it. Sigh... I used to detest numbers so much, but I got to like it, I got to enjoy it, if there is a family trait here at all.. my little bro would hopefully find his way to like math too.. :)

Work hard little man! :)

A Little Fall of Rain..

Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius

I don't feel any pain

A little fall of rain

Can hardly hurt me now

You're here, that's all I need to know

And you will keep me safe

And you will keep me close

And rain will make the flowers grow.

But you will live,

If I could heal your wounds

with words of love...

Just hold me now,

and let it be.

Shelter me, comfort me...

You would live

A hundred years

If I could show you how

I won't desert you now...

The rain can't hurt me now

This rain will wash away what's past..

And you will keep me safe

And you will keep me close

I'll sleep in your embrace... at last

The rain that brings you here

Is Heaven-blessed!

The skies begin to clear

And I'm at rest..

A breath away from where you are

I've come home from so far..

So don't you fret, M'sieur Marius Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine

I don't feel any pain You won't feel any pain
A little fall of rain A little fall of rain

Can hardly hurt me now Can hardly hurt you now

That's all I need to know I'm here

And you will keep me safe I will stay with you

And you will keep me close Till you are sleeping..

And rain And rain

Will make the flowers... Will make the flowers...

Grow.

Wish I would die with such bliss.. :)

Les Miserables

I can't stop hitting the repeat button.. :)
I wanna read the full version of the book!

This is the best cast for the Les Miz musical performed in a special concert at the Royal Albert Hall. Listen to this two songs. I dream a dream would be familiar because Susan Boyle sang it for Britain's Got Talent. On My Own was by Lea Selonga. Yes.. I'm sucker for romance.. :P

I Dreamed A Dream by Ruthie Henshall

On My Own by Lea Selonga

Winds of Change~

Been listening to Juwito Suwito lately. Think I'm begining to really enjoy it. :) It's so soulful and it's really awesome to be listening those 'love songs' all about our wonderful and magnificent Father. Check out 'you in me' and 'only in the dark'. :)

"The only constant is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor ..."

- Isaac Asimov

Ironic isn't it?

I use to hear my grandma say, when a person is naughty when their young..they'll grow up to be the exact opposite. How true is it, I have no idea but I do believe in what Asimov said. Change is the only constant.. so how can we easily conclude that people cannot change?

Come to think of it, it isn't fair that we all talk about someone thinking they had not changed for the better. They could have been all those negative things we said they were but that doesn't mean they still are today. At the rate we keep pointing our finger at them, critizing every thing they do, isn't that stereotyping? And we think, we're guiltless 'saints'? Besides.. what right do we have to judge?

It's hard to change someone's mind about a person and yes, it takes some proving. But, no ones needs any explaination from them but God. So why bother gossiping about them?? If you think they didn't change and doesn't even deserve a second chance to be looked upon like an equal and respected like one..then constraint your opinions to yourself where you will cause minimal damage. You have no right at all to condemn anyone here..

May I remind you that we serve a God of second chances, if you think otherwise than bring it up with Him. If not, you should really really hold your tongue. I'm not only speaking for myself but also for others. Remember that, someone can always change for the better and sometimes, it blesses the others around them as well..so stop steroetyping. Accept them for what they are as they accept you for what you are. :)

"Change always comes bearing gifts."

- Price Pritchett

Susan Boyle

This is a lesson for everyone.. do not judge a book by it's cover!

How prejudiced and cynical we can get!! Watch this video! Seriously..! Top priority!! It's in a worldwide circulation now. Be amazed people!!! She sound just like the original!!!! Susan Boyle is amazing!!

This is even greater than Adam lambert on AI!!! She can match up to the origianl cast of Les Miserables!! Enjoy! :)

You remind me, O Lord that your forever close and sometimes.. the picture is clearer only when it's in the dark.

Footprints

I noticed how often I snap pictures this few weeks. AS in really really often. I have been uploading a lot of photos as well. Think I finally noticed why..

2 and a 1/2 months left..

That was quick. How time flies. I thought I just got here. Now I have to prepare to leave. It's like I barely touched the ground and my sit was barely warm..but..I have to go. Some part of me says.. "I wanna stay..", some part of me says.. "can't wait to leave" Sigh.. it's gonna come anyway.

Need to really buck up and study. But.. I still want to savor every last bit of my remaining time here. With every bit left.. I want to capture all that I can and hopefully leave some footprints of mine along the way. Just like how everyone else has been doing in my life.

Don't know where the road is leading me but..

I'm here Lord, show me the way... :)
