Alone is good...

"Sometimes it's better to be alone."
"What do you mean?"
"That way nobody can hurt you."



-Meg & Hercules: Walt Disney's Hercules



"MEG:
If there's a prize for rotten judgement,
I guess I've already won that.
No man is worth the aggravation,
That's ancient history, been there, done that!

MUSES:
Who'd'ya think you're kiddin'?
He's the Earth and heaven to you!
Try to keep it hidden,
Honey, we can see right through you.
Girl, ya can't conceal it,
We know how ya feel and
Who you're thinking of!

MEG:
No chance, no way!
I won't say it, no, no!

MUSES:
You swoon, you sigh,
why deny it, uh-oh!

MEG:
It's too cliche,
I won't say I'm in love.

I thought my heart had learned its lesson.
It feels so good when you start out.
My head is screaming get a grip, girl.
Unless you're dying to cry your heart out!
Oh!

MUSES:
You keep on denying
Who you are and how you're feeling.
Baby, we're not buying,
Hon, we saw ya hit the ceiling!
Face it like a grown-up,
When ya gonna own up
That ya got, got, got it bad!

MEG:
No chance, now way,
I won't say it, no, no!

MUSES:
Give up, give in,
Check the grin, you're in love!

MEG:
This scene won't play,
I won't say I'm in love!

MUSES:
You're doin flips, read our lips.
You're in love!

MEG:
You're way off base,
I won't say it.
Get off my case,
I won't say it.

MUSES:
Girl, don't be proud,
It's ok you're in love.

MEG:
Oh!
At least out loud,
I won't say I'm in love."

Candle On The Water

As I listened to my iPod once again in many months, I heard a song and I thought of you. And I thought to myself that I wanted to blog about this. When I came home, I read about how GOD has helped you to overcome your temptation, and I'm so very glad and happy for you! So here's for you, my dear struggling friend.

"I'll be your candle on the water,
My love for you will always burn.
I know you're lost and drifting,
But the clouds are lifting.
Don't give up, you'll have somewhere to turn.

I'll be your candle on the water,
'Till every wave is warm and bright.
My soul is there beside you,
Let this candle guide you,
Soon you'll see a golden stream of light.

A cold and friendless tide has found you.
Don't let the stormy darkness pull you down.
I'll paint a ray of hope around you,
Circling in the air,
Lighted by a prayer.

I'll be your candle on the water,
This flame inside of me will grow.
Keep holding on, you'll make it!
Here's my hand so take it!
Look for me reaching out to show,
As sure as rivers flow,
I'll never let you go.
I'll never let you go.
I'll never let you go..."

-Disney's Pete's Dragon OST - Helen Reddy: Candle On The Water



Everyone struggles with their own burden, but if everyone shares their burden, there is synergy and our own burdens are lightened. And though the context of the song is quite different from us, let me assure you that I will always love you, and I will never let you go. =)

Livin' On A Prayer

Went to Pearlyn's place today... played Rockband 2 and Guitar Hero the whole afternoon on her PS3... She's got like, 2 guitars, 1 drum set, and 1 mic. Power sia! Hanxiang, Serene, Daniel, Danielle, Timothy, Dominic and myself. Hahaha! Really really really great fellowship and "wasting time" together!!!

Whilst playing one of the songs, its lyrics seemed to jump out at me. Though I don't think it was meant as a Christian song, this song would be just what I would want of my life... the kind of faith and love I picture of this couple is just... all I would ever want...

"Once upon a time,
Not so long ago,
Tommy used to work on the docks.
Union's been on strike,
He's down on his luck... it's tough, so tough.

Gina works the diner all day.
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love... for love.

She says, "We've got to hold on to what we've got,
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not.
We've got each other and that's a lot!
For love, we'll give it a shot!

We're half way there,
Livin' on a prayer!
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear,
Livin' on a prayer!"

Tommy got his six string in hock.
Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk - so tough, it's tough.

Gina dreams of running away.
When she cries in the night,
Tommy whispers, "Baby it's okay, someday,

We've got to hold on to what we've got,
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not.
We've got each other and that's a lot.
For love, we'll give it a shot!

We're half way there,
Livin' on a prayer!
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear,
Livin' on a prayer!

We've got to hold on, ready or not,
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got!
We're half way there,
Livin' on a prayer!
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear,
Livin' on a prayer!"

-Bon Jovi: Living On A Prayer


Is there anyone like that out there in this day and age?

Drenched

Yup! Got soaked today. Unfortunately, I had my camera gear with me and I couldn't dance in the rain. And even though I managed to walk abit in the downpour, I wasn't exactly soaked to the skin. Hmm...

Went to Marina Hong Kong Café for a drink after dinnering at Glutton's Bay. I had ice-blended peanut butter drink, which made me start to shiver at the end of the drink. Haha!

Elisa, Hannah, Abigail, Serene, Hanxiang, Benedict, Danielle and Timothy... 9 of us had a super awesome time together. A foretaste of heaven, I believe. Hopefully there'll be many many more such times together.

"I'll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting me.
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
All my sorrow and pain,
I'll do my crying in the rain.

If I wait for stormy skies,
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes.
You'll never know that I still love you so.
Though the heartaches remain,
I'll do my crying in the rain.

Raindrops falling from heaven
Could never take away my misery.
But since we're not together,
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you'll never see.

Someday when my crying's done,
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun.
I may be a fool
But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain;
I'll do my crying in the rain.

I'll do my crying in the rain...
I'll do my crying in the rain...
I'll do my crying in the rain."

-A-Ha: Crying in the Rain

The Sweetness of Fellowship

I miss the sweetness of fellowship I once had... and I fear I may have lost it forever. But I know GOD is in the midst of HIS work on me... and I will hope on that I will once again, taste that sweetness.

But I fear I may have lost the family I grew up in...
