Above All

Crucified

Laid behind a stone

You lived to die

Rejected and alone

Like a rose

Trampled on the ground

You took the fall

And thought of me....

Above all

I heard this song (Above All) yesterday at MJ Multimedia Suntec. It was like a throwback to the past, when I was in Primary Sch and we would always sing this for chapel! I just focused on the lyrics and inside me I felt so overwhelmed with emotions. Ok I've decided to save up and buy that CD!! It's called Faith. Above All was simply awesome and the other songs sounded great too. I mean, Boys Like Girls rock, but they can wait. This CD just blew me away!

Mariah carey-When you believe
Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full, I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fears
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way clear through the rain
A small, but still, resilient voice
Says help is very near

As it was playing, I saw behind them the clip from Prince of Egypt..how true!

Today was netball clinic!
Heh. Okla(: Bendeemer coach was cute. Hahahaha. Angie says she's hot. But she's wat, same height as the P5 girls? hmmm.

After a full game, we got catered lunch! :D

While eating nasi lamak and longans and pizza and ice lemon tea, ppl started servin me food from all over the place cos there was too much. Heh. kinda enjoyed it for a while til there was too much food. hmm like quoting someone, she said,"your stomach is an endless pit". ahh. that is to a certain extent ;)
well anyways they had too much so everybody had to bring food home. oh and like 20 over boxes were donated to the CC. Hahaha.

Hm. ET kept smiling at me today. what is his problem? I thought he was angry with me. ahh i guess his pms is over(: whoopee. poony wants to make a date with us on national day eve..to teach us how to PITCH A TENT.

Today, when i got to sch, I was gna go shoot hoops cos i was bored when suddenly...The Circle Of Life started playing!!!!!!!!! Whoooooooo!! Then i made a u-turn and sat down to listen to the song :D :D

The firmest friendships have been formed

in mutual adversity as iron is most strongly

welded by the feircest fire.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
All the chains are broken,
I have been set free
Every word You've spoken
is watching over me
So how can I stay silent
when I hear You call my name

Living in Your presence,
I'll never be the same
I've been found in You

On my lips there's a shout of praise
Now I'm gonna dance for all my days
Because I've seen the wonder of Your loving ways

So much joy here in Your embrace
Makes me wanna sing and celebrate
Because I've seen the wonder of amazing grace
Because I've seen the wonder of amazing

I've been found in You
And now I'll sing out Your truth
I've been found in You
And now I'll sing out Your truth

HELLOS(:

Thunder-Boys Like Girls

Hi!

yes it's me again. so shocking that i'm so actively blogging nowadays. (or at least compared to the two of you bums) i wanna declare my love for boys like girls songs! like the great escape, hero/heroine etc. but today i'm addicted to THUNDER!

THUNDER-BOYS LIKE GIRLS

Today is a winding road

Thats taking me to places that I didn't want to go, whoa

Today in the blink of an eye

I'm holding on to something and I do not know why I tried

I tried to read between the lines

I tried to look in your eyes I want a simple explanation; what I'm feeling inside

I gotta find a way out

Maybe there's a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer

Do you know you're unlike any other?

You'll always be my thunder, and I said

Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors

I don't wanna ever love another

You'll always be my thunder

So bring on the rain

And bring on the thunder

Today is a winding road

Tell me where to start and tell me something I don't know, whoa

Today I'm on my own

I cant move a muscle and I cant pick up the phone, I don't know

And now I'm itching for the tall grass

And longing for the breeze

I need to step outside, just to see if I can breathe

I gotta find a way out

Maybe there's a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer

Do you know you're unlike any other?

You'll always be my thunder, and I said

Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors

I don't wanna ever love another

You'll always be my thunder

So bring on the rain

And bring on the thunder

Yeah I'm walking on a tightrope

I'm wrapped up in vines

I think Ill make it out but you just gotta give me time

Strike me down with lightning

Let me feel you in my veins

I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer

Do you know you're unlike any other?

You'll always be my thunder, and I said

Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors

I don't wanna ever love another

You'll always be my thunder

So bring on the rain

And bring on the thunder

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer

Do you know you're unlike any other?

You'll always be my thunder

So bring on the rain

Oh baby bring on the pain

And listen to the thunder

yay! this song rocks. take a listen : http://youtube.com/watch?v=G5nQOCdo5bk

it grows on you! And, and, when you watch the lead singer (Martin Johnson), he'll melt your heart! REALLY!

hello!

you know what, in about 1 and a half hours time, the brazil olympic football team is arriving at changi airport t2 i think!!! so exciting. although i heard that kaka is not going to be there. not sure if ronaldinho is too. ahhhh.....so exciting la! i wanna go and see. you know the match on saturday(i think it's sat) is like $15 for students! but it's just a friendly match so no point going. but i still wanna watch a live match at a stadium! the only other live match i have watched was singapore vs australia friendly in national stadium last year! and i was like sitting at grandstand gallery there ok! only 5 metres away from harry kewell who was stretching and warming up!! so cool man. (btw for all who don't know, harry kewell was a liverpool player at that time, and i am a fan of the best football club in the world...which is....duh liverpool la!)

anyway today was a cold and dark day...at least in the morning. then we had to have assembly in the school hall and our mass dance. which was virtually impossible since i was just about this close to smacking someone in the face when i moved just a bit. then the blazers were supposed to dance together but i was stuck in front and couldnt move to the back! ande and evelyn were also caught in the trap with me.

ok then we had pe, our final mini tennis lesson. actually it's quite fun! esp the tournament style cos we play doubles and got bigger space so balls won't fly all over that easily. ok then the other lessons weren't that memorable, not saying they were boring or horrible, just that i don't wanna bore you out bcos they were just typical lessons.

yup anyway sorry la, gotta go study for a maths.........(last a maths test of the year yay!)

mandy(:

hello!!

yay i feel happy today although i think the 3some undersome peeps are so boring we didn't bother to dress up for racial harmony day today!! we had half day. i think the school expected us to like go straight home and start mugging for tests but nope, i think half the school went out still.

loved our netballers date. so fun to go novena and settle everything in just 3 hours. now we don't have to worry about that matter anymore. and it was so funny cos natasha, sanguu and i noticed that hanis, afiqah and evelyn really looked so down while on the bus there so we decided to...

1) tell evelyn what to do to someone i shall not mention to save my neck

2) cheer hanis up by promising to sell her cookies (although i left early so i don't know if we really did but i doubt it)

3) make afiqah so super happy by buying her the nike coals bottle thing because she lost it today. and she promised to label it with 'This bottle is the property of Afiqah. With Love from the Netballers' ok i don't think she'll REALLY write that but she did laugh when i mentioned it:)

haha haiyo, most credit to natasha, always the sunshine in everyone's life. never fails to brighten up anyone's day. and also to sanguu, who was nice enough to listen to and play along with the nuttypro's crazy ideas.

YAY WE SETTLED OUR PROBLEM TODAY. and cheered others up. or at least i think we did. YAY!! ok enough celebration, i better go off and study for SS test tmr.

love,
mandy:)

Heyhey.

Today I had table tennis for pe.
Had that ytd as well..
HAHAHAHA it was funnnnnn!!! Played with melinda, rachel and jiamin. everybody came to our table to watch us play cos we were the so-called 'sports ppl'..but ended up running away as fast as they could after standing and watching 'one' game. Haha! our ball never touched the table. 4 balls flew out the grills. Um i must say that one was hit out by me:P Oh and my back was facing the grills. yeahhh. now you know how we played like. XD

Chinese class is more entertaining nowadays(:
The new tr aint that bad!! She's quite um..attention catching? Yup, I actually start paying attention(:

hmmm trg was quite okay.
Though a few things did happen. I was quite shocked really..Did she mean me? But if she did, she wouldn't have come up to me just minutes before to speak to me privately, right? I don't understand. But I'll not put to heart what she said. She's just a little girl i guess..I'll have a talk with her(: and soon too.

After trg was quite entertaining(:
Hahaha the band was cool!! If they still were a military band, how cool that would be..Heh. Though I guess we just maluated ourselves infront of our juniors, 40 band ppl who were staring straight at us..and the VICE PRINCIPLE. D: butttttttt, I had FUN dancing with the Blazers! Heh heh we set the floor ablazeeee babeh! Hmm reminds me of the destinee ad me and fi used to mimick:P
Ahh. I appreciated what you guys did. Though it seems like nothing to you..but then you've never offered before (though yes i asked you today) but you agreed to help bring the balls back with me. And I was..um. Shocked. Normally I'd have to drag one of you with me cos i don't have 8 arms to carry all the balls, but yeahh. You all came down today. Hahaha though you rejected helping me to get keys and call mr lim and get the attendance sheets and mark it.. I still appreciate(:
Anddd, I can see that we're all improving together!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Makes me look forward to trgs more(: continue smiling, nehballer blazers!!
MUSTCANWILL.
sssxzszxzsxszxszsxs! "WADDDDDDDDDDDDZ!"

Okay, seeyou! Godbless(:

hey just a side note: i meant to post this on last tues, 15 july but i'm only posting it now cos...my internet suddenly kena cut off when i was halfway blogging. stupid la! anyway, if you don't want to read it's ok, cos this is like old news, gonna blog abt today soon! (posted this on 21 july)

Hello!



Yesterday had a mini date with Kat while everyone else in school was having O level Listening. (we have to take it one year later *smacks head*) Just the Katman out in full force! Haha, but unfortunately, what we planned to do didn't go as well as we wanted to. Quite sad really. I hope our problem can be resolved asap. I left it in God's hands already so I know we've got hope. :D



Today was such a strange day. I kena 'punished' by Mrs Jai haha. Today I was supposed to do duty (sweep floor with Amirah) then because Amirah got the broom first so I didn't bother to go do my duty. Then later Amirah went to sweep my legs. Here's what happened later:



Mrs Jai: Amirah, why are you sweeping other people's legs?

Amirah: What? Mandy don't want to do her duty!

Me: Hey! There's only 1 broom, I can't hold hands with her on the broom and sweep right?

MJ: Mandy, go borrow a broom from another class!

Me: Can I sweep later instead?

MJ: Alright, you sweep later during recess. After recess, I'm gonna come round to the class again and check if it's clean. If the class is not clean, Mandy, I hold you responsible!

Whole Class: AHahahahahahaha wah cheyyyy

Me: Ok....huh...no wait.....what!!

MJ: (Repeats herself again)

Me: Noooooo (silently to myself)



Later on during her lesson, she was like " Remember ah Mandy, you better make sure the class is clean after recess!" Then I was like, 'Yes, yes (groaning)" I spent like 5 mins plus of my recess today sweeping the class. Although my partner Miaoz helped me for 2 mins or something when I needed to go pee. Thanks Miao Miao!! And now my class is so super clean!! At least much cleaner than Sanguu's class when I went in for Chinese. Yay! (no offence to 3P, direct offence to Sanguu, hahaha, ok sorry then!)



Then we had study skills workship. Our coach/instructor/whatever you call her was so hilarious! it's like her style of talking and everything is so friendly and her laughter is like the uncontrolled type so it's really funny to hear her laugh. one of her colleagues walked by our class and stared inside then she was like ," Yes hi darling!! (smiles widely)" haha so funny right, haiyo!
