I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much
I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'
But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
The temporary trappings of this world
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
To make a lengthly list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy
Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred
Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good and faithful one...
hasnt been blogging. one thing, i dun really feel like blogging. hmm.. y? duno. just not in the mood. how abt today? not sure either. just thot of blogging something and updating myself in case u miss me. haha.. who's laughing?
anyway, me just back from shanghai, suzhou and hangzhou last week. i wasnt particularly in the mood to do much things after i came back. but then, i was quite busy too. but u ask wat am i busy about? i have no idea too. haha. chim rite. maybe i should recollect my days.
thur 2/2: reach changi intl airport at 5.10am. after collecting luggages and such, abt 5.30am. so we proceed to have breakfast to avoid the midnite charge from the cabs. i reach home near 7am. after some washing up, i collapsed on my bed with my other 3 sisters. my annoying relatives were here to visit agn. ha.. my hse as a chalet! :
woke up at around 2plus i think.. to have my lunch and watch a bit of tv. felt sleepy agn but i have to prepare to go for my counselling class at 7pm. oh, and i realised i cldnt find my Cf card which i think i left it in the hotel at shanghai. that would mean a good over 200 photos lost! :( sad was/is an understatement. but i duno wat to react. is gone is gone. sigh. anyway, called my tour guide( the best i ever had, will write abt her another time), but cldnt find it. i reckon that the china hotel is too lazy to find for me too. my fren suggested that i shld offer a reward. but i think is too late lah.
i had a good time in my class once again, but i was feeling tardy that i dun really get much things processing in my head. and it did not help that the lesson that day is to concentrate and observe on the non-verbals, i.e. body language.
fri 3/2: i think i woke up at 12.30pm. ha. and i forgot wat the day was that day. i think i tried unpacking some stuffs yet not some others, in case my itchy hand relatives start to touch our things agn, just like last year when i came back from japan and some stuffs were missing. : so, actuali the duno how many umpteen cases were in my room, and we tried to empty some of them and stuff into another bag, attempting to reduce the mess in my room. ha.. nite came where we went to the hai tien lo at pan pacific hotel to celebrate my mum's chinese birthday-cum-reunion dinner. service was bad. so bad that my usually non-chalant sis stayed up late to write a complaint letter. well, got the reply today. not a very good one as well. maybe i post up the complaint that my sis wrote and the reply gotten. disappointed really. and my sis din include some other things we were unhappy with too coz the letter got a bit long. heh.
sat 4/2: woke up at 6am when i slept at 2am to help my mum in her stall. helped till about 10.30am where i loiter around and have my lunch to meet my fren at 3pm. i was too lazy to go home and change coz of tht time factor to roam from the central to my countryside west and back to the central again, i walk around suntec and bugis in shorts and flip-flops..haha! we bought the stuffs that we need and we meet up with another fren to go test drive cars coz my fren wants to buy a swift. though she claimed she had not made up her mind yet. i seriously doubt that answer..haha..
the swift...nice...
anyway, i reached home at 9pm. and looked blankly at my comp. rem the equipment problem of the concert, i nd to get some info. sianz... i wonder if im a workaholic, but then, juding from my experience, i cant wait till LAST minute again. it will be chaos!
sun 5/2: woke up for 2nd svc coz was too tired for 1st, but when i rem that the speakers for both svcs were different, i felt like kicking myself. but... but nvm.. wat can i do. just download the sermon from the website lor.
mon 6/2: din go for my class agn. woke up just in time to go for my afternoon class. felt a bit unwell and i decided to head home to sleep. but i went to library till 7pm. not a bad place. library has change so much. wow... watch a bit of the campus superstar... not bad. the ite ger actualli got voted out.. i was surprised. the ri guy got voted out. im not surprised. coz he doesnt look good enuf, and i dun even feel like looking at him after a few glances. listen yes. look no. i have to say his voice is good and pleasant, a bit like guang liang, pin guan that kind of clear voice. well, that is competition. especially in spore. looks matters.
today - tue 7/2: woke up in time (again) to go to school to tend the concert/flower booth, or rather i just sit there lah. the guys were doing the main job - folding flowers. we are making flowers for fund raising. interested to buy? can click here. orders till 13th. hehe... and is quite interesting that the guys are folding flowers while we gers are toking away. nowadays, guys are more feminine than the gers.
then, we start our concert preparation - sound check, equipments and rehearsals - in the afternoon. we spent abt 2plus hours just to set up the stage! -_-" the stage wasnt very well done. and i keep walking up and down the LT to adjust the volumes in the soundroom. zzz... anyway, it was kind of strange to hear myself on the mic. not used to it. will try to sing better with the mics. anyway, everything ended around 9pm and we adjourned to have our dinner at clementi macdonalds. not much grumbles though. i learned much from this messy experience. haa...or rather for the past 3 years in SIM. :P
okie.. i noe i am rambling on and on and on. and i shall stop. is 3am. and i have a long day ahead of me. i have not prepared for my worship yet. wat shall i do? GRACE!
i will post some photos and the places i went to in shanghai next time. no photos of suzhou though..*sob* the more scenic and nicer place that i went. yes. and is all in that CF card!
