Easter Sunday

 

God sent His son, they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal, and forgive.
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.

How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives.
But greater still the calm assurance,
This child can face uncertain days because He lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.

And then one day I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war with pain.
And then as death gives way to victory,
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone!
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives!

Happy Easter Sunday!!!

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

sleep like a cat

aren't cats so CUTE when they sleep?

eeh. what a face. she must've been dreaming...

 

nooo... not the camera again!

 

awww. so cute. she looks so peaceful. i wish i could sleep like her, no worries, not homework...

me loves 'em cats <3

an apple a day keeps the doctor away!

cheers.

blow wind blow...

i am so red.

as RED as a lobster.

my face hurts so much and i bet my nose can glow in the dark. haha.

thats what you get from 5.5 hours? in the sun doing 4 TERRIBLE HORRIBLE races with REALLY stong wind!!!! and the gusts were terrible. i this was my worst so far =( so out of 5 days, we raced for 2 days. out of the total max races of 12 we only completed 7. out of the 2 days we raced i only came for 1 day so i missed like 4 races and my position is crap.

anyway today was torture cos the wind was really stong, everblowing. the gusts were even stronger and every time it hits my boat i almost get thrown off! the waves were quite small and the sun was MURDEROUS. sitting there in the boat with the hot sun glaring down at us, we could feel our skin practically frying and the sea water turn to salt on our legs. really really hot. my entire cornified layer is seriously BURNT. and thats only ONE day. imagine 5 days of such intense heat. 25hrs+ in the sun, wah we'll be well and truly roasted. also the wind was so strong and my hand is covered in blisters, though i was wearing gloves. and is was because of the gust that i got flung out of my boat downwind and lost my really nice position (i could have gotten 20 plus!) sob i took so long to upright my boat (that capsized cus i wasn't driving it) and all the people i was beating passed me. >.<

oh and zeng woon got pissed cos he missed getting a medal by TWO positions. haha. unlucky him. they only give to the top 5 and he was 7th. but of the silver fleet.

yep. enough of me ranting about my unfortunate race.

these are the Lazers by the way. i sail the Byte which is slightly smaller.

this is hilarously funny!

the best prank ever...

Enjoying your Holidays?

Me? not really.

i just spent 3 days wasting time because of the crazy ,crazy weather.

today was SCARY.

ever been in a storm? today we were surrounded by 4 storms. FOUR! i haven't the foggiest why the committee boat still sent us out there but the wind was freaky-ly strong and the storms were like closing in around us. we were literally trapped, just watching the storm get closer and closer. better yet, they tried to start a race. i bet nobody wanted to sail then, especially after seeing the horribly dark cloud come. soon the dark clouds were above us and thank God they raised AP over A (means all races postponed, return to shore) and sent us back.

haha. i capsized on the way back to NSC but that was least of my worries. on shore it was UTTER CHAOS. really. the wind was so strong, combined with the high waves so many boats got swept onto the beach and crashed onto the rocks. it was really scary and dangerous and everyone was running up and down the beach getting trolleys and helping others out of the water in the rain. many boats got damaged. >.< i saw one sail got a whole strip ripped off! it must have capsized onto a rock or something. the rain was so heavy and it was pouring down so hard that the visibility was horrible and they had to make us all sign in at the race control office to make sure no one was lost at sea.

storms are really no joke. And we still hadn't managed to complete one single race.

but, it was fun cos after that we all played in the rain pulling up our boats and washing it, having water fights, throwing freezing cold water on each other,  splashing in the biggest puddles(haha we were like little kids) fighting with the national squad sailors for the ping-pond table and running into the bathrooms for hot showers. Yep. good hard fun.

so i guess i admit that it's nice to have a break once in a while. especially with the sailors. we are one crazy hilarious bunch of kids.

oh and i realized that when you are really really cold( like when you are standing in the rain) your hair does stand on end, no matter how wet you are. mine was =P

No worries-Mcfly
We ran past strawberry fields and smelt the summertime
When it gets dark I’ll hold your body close to mine
And then we’ll find some wood and hell we’ll build a fire
And then we’ll find some rope and make a swinging tyre

Captivated by the way you look tonight
The light is dancing in your eyes, your sweet eyes

It’s times like these we’ll never forget
Stayin out to watch the sunset
I’m glad I shared this with you
Cause you set me free
Show me how good my life could be
How could this happen to me? Yeahhhohhh

And then I’ll swing you girl until you fall asleep
But when you wake up you’ll be lyin next to me (ba ba ooo)
We’ll go to Hollywood, make you a movie star (movie star)
I want the world to know how beautiful you are

Captivated buy the way you look tonight
The light is dancing in your eyes, your sweet eyes yeah

It’s times like these we’ll never forget
Stayin out to watch the sunset
I’m glad I shared this with you
Cause you set me free
Show me how good my life could be
How did you happen to me? Yeahhhohhh

There are no secrets to be told
Nothing we don’t already know
(bum bum bum)

We got no fears of growin old
We got no worries in the world

i like this song, nice and cheery... <3

 

yucky weather...

it just

DIDN'T

STOP

raining!

today was a total waste. just like yesterday.

the wind was total crap. i won't be surprised if we don't race at all this week

then i'm demanding for a refund!

they kept making the "attention all, category 1 (lightning) until 1300 hrs (or whatever time)" announcement. and it rained so bad that there was no horizon left. talk about monsoon season...

all we did today was rig up, talk, play cards,eat, play hand phone, play more cards, play little hand games, talk somemore, play ping pong, eat again, fix school trolleys, pump tires, listen to music,play in the rain, de-rig the boat and go home.

yesterday was EXACTLY the same. hardly any sailing eh? it was supposed to be a sailing COMPETITION.

AND I JUST WASTED 2 DAYS!!! i could have been studying... >.<

haha. blame the rain and thunder storms. Grrr.

we had fun bullying THE CAT. =)

you know they always say that cats are really lights sleepers?

or rather i thought that they were.

my cat really isn't. she didn't even lift and eyelid when me and my sister piled the most ridiculous things onto her, glggling all the way. we could probably have drawn all over her face and she won't wake up! haha.

those with cats go try! see if your cat is a deep sleeper or not.

speaking of cats i thought this was really REALLY cute =D

anything and everything

dear me i'm turing into a book worm.

i just read "message in a bottle" by Nicholas Sparks and i think it was the BEST best book i've read so far!!

it's sweet, romantice touching yet exciting

so calling all fellow bookworms who like touching ans sweet love stories, go read that book.

it's so sweet it made me cry.

yeah a good read.

oh and if you like it, "the notebook" is GREAt too!the other BEST book i've read. also by Nicholas sparks.

there's nothing to blog about these days really, 'cept maybe all the homework and tests and quizes and what-nots-that-you-don't-really-wanna-hear-about...

so don't expect me to be blogging much. today i just found some time, in between studying for tomorrow's bio and social studies tests... aw man.

so anyway i just thought this is a really really great and touching song. an old one by the way...

another day in paradise-Phil Collins

She calls out to the man on the street
"Sir, can you help me?
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep,
Is there somewhere you can tell me?"

He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there

Oh think twice, it's another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh think twice, it's just another day for you,
You and me in paradise

She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she's been crying
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
Can't walk but she's trying

Oh think twice, it's another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh think twice, it's just another day for you,
You and me in paradise

Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody can do
Oh lord, there must be something you can say

You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that she's been there
Probably been moved on from every place
'Cos she didn't fit in there

Oh think twice, it's another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh think twice, it's just another day for you,
You and me in paradise

my parents are officially becoming GRANDPARENTS. they are going for knitting class! O.O

even my dad. they want to get knitting kneedles. haha. they think is therapetic...

god we're getting old.

HOLIDAYS!

holidays?holidays?

a BIG FAT yeah-right to that.

a more like the 9 days given to finish a mountain of homework and buck on your week subjects which, for me, happens to be just EVERYTHING.

and what's more 5 days are gone due to the Ntional Youth Championships which is not so crucial like interschools but important enough and it's not like i'm gonna win anything anyway. so yeah that leaves 4 days? 1 day has to go to resting (at least!) so it's 3 days to finish homework and studying and all that and knowing me i'll probably not finish at all.

so woohoo for holidays...
