Choir @_@

This is the song that my church choir is practicing now... we're not even halfway through yet omg. The video below is good, but the sound quality sucks. Urgh... stupid video. Anyway, it's from St John's Passion by Bach. This version is conducted by John Eliot Gardiner, a world-known conductor. Yeah... It's sung in German (with Eng subtitles)... and it's good :) So anyway, enjoy it!



Omg we're gonna sing this song next D: we haven't even started practicing this yet. It's from one of Bach's many Cantatas. Cantata 105 to be exact. Also sung in German:



We are also singing the 3rd part of Dixit Dominus by Handel (the composer who composed the famous Hallelujah song) No vid sorry, but that's the link to it. No imbedding allowed by the person heh :S The intro are the 4 soloists, which is then joined by the whole choir...

Baby Steps - by Jared Ho

day 1.....you are brought into this world
week 1.....you are loved so deep
month 1.....you learn new things
year one....you take your first leap

your first leap is when you start to crawl
discovering whatever is between the walls,
of your house you start to learn
you start to hear when your mother calls

about a month later you start to walk
you learn to adapt to what your parents do
but you are not so sure and still naive
whatever they say you dont have a clue

three years have passed since you first walked
you now already learnt how to talk abit
you say small words that are not so coherant
but you talk all you want and as you see fit

now you are 13 and you are going through puberty
you start to infatuate and feel
love is still of course
something new to you

you are 15 now and you lust after someone
you have this crush that you think it is just
you wanna get closer and closer to her
but still to have self control you must

you are 16 now and it is a critical year
you stop doing immature and stupid things
but you start dating this girl, fortunately for you,
she is the girl of your dreams.

you are 24 and 8 years have passed,
things start getting serious and time moves fast
you slowly have a stable job
you work really hard before you start to rust

you are 30 now and are getting married
shockingly, you do not get cold feet
but you shiver under love and excitement
and you know you can never retreat

on the night of you wedding, you consumnate your marriage
you make love because it is love you feel for each other
the next day you are greater than ever before
you look at her like she is the one you will always long for forever

you are 57 now at the edge of retirement
you think to yourself if you spent your life well
but you realise with your wife that you life had been swell

now you are on your deathbed at the age of 99 which is a rare age people live up to
tomorrow is your birthday , the day you will hit 100
but can you pull through or will you die at 99?
you start to think of something, it was your first day you remembered

you thought for it for a long time now
the strenght to live for 1 more day is strong
you know you can do it
you would not want to be proved wrong

it is a bout 11.59 pm and you think to yourself
i have always loved my wife in sickness and in health
you said to your wife to be with her was so worth it
and you died peacefully when the clock hit 12


Like, omg... Did i mention Jared is good at writing poetry? He has all these ideas... omg... This poem is the sweetest thing ever... I nearly started crying... If there's sad music in the background, I'd definitely be crying. heh... Commitment is very serious thing...

Then again, I think it's too straightforward o.o Like, using words that are too direct... hmm... It could be shortened, to be made more vague, and then to add that touch to it that makes it: WOW.

Word.

I should really stop daydreaming... Not that I do that in class... How can I daydream with people like Ish and Hernando in class? Haha... They're insane people... GOSH.

ANyway, played bball with church people last night. it was AWESOME! And Jeff LITERALLY did an ROFL. And Stephen ripped a hole in his pants... right on the crotch. LOL.

And there was this FRIGGIN PRO guy... Heard his name is Samuel o.o Dunno... but he's DAYM pro. Like, SUPER PRO. Friggin good jumper, and awesome agility, and did I mention he's friggin tall? haha, PRO.

Hmm... Gonna go to bed now... school starts again tmrw... AGH. Time for more classes =.= I can't wait for Friday already... GOSH.

Closer

So... I'm gonna go play bball tonight. OH SHIT I just remembered about my English essay omg... Totally had forgotten about it. Okay. Nvm. Shall finish it TONIGHT!! @_@ Hopefully in the next hour.

Next Saturday, gonna go East Coast with youth group... Some are gonna cycle, I'm definitely gonna go roller blade. Hahaha... The only wheels I'm good at is roller blading... Yes I know that sucks.

UMM... So... Met Jos last night and this morning... It was for a lecture at The Alexcier... "The Principles of Christian Counseling" by Professor Matthew Ebenezer. Yeah :) It was gooooood. Haha

Anyhoo... Mini TOK Week is OVER!! YEAH. No more lectures, and I get my morning frees BACK! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA... Then I don't have to wake up so early anymore XD WEEHOOOO! I'm not gonna complain about the religious speakers on Wednesday... Coz even though some are an embarrassment to my own religion, I can simply say, they're Catholic, they're Singaporean, and their arrogant. And also, they didn't stick to the rules: NO EVANGELIZING YOUR OWN RELIGION. It's supposed to be a lecture dammit, not a preaching session. You idiots give Christians a BAD NAME.

Anyway....................... Heard quite a number of girls from STC are goin to CJC... OMG WTH MAN... WHY THAT SCHOOL. It's so amusing when you think about it. In Sec 1 - Sec 4, they say not to go to CJC... Coz it it practically a mix of SJI and STC people... And coz it has quite high abortion rates... *cough cough*... But when they get their results, suddenly everyone is applying to CJC... what in the world happened?... Okay I get it if they didn't do so well, and would only get into CJC because of the affiliation... But what about those who CAN go to other schools? Come ON.

Sigh... nevermind...

Yes I know... I'm gonna be cross-dressing as a guy... Forgot who Sharley is gonna go as though *shrugs* Who wants to go as Kaito? He's the dude with the blue hair below



pretty easy person to go as... just gotta find the blazer, contacts, wig, tie, and make the headpiece... Yeah... that's about it :P

Awake



With every appearance by you, blinding my eyes,
I can hardly remember the last time I felt like I do.
You're an angel disguised.

And you're lying real still,
but your heart beat is fast just like mine.
And the movie's long over,
that's three that have passed, one more's fine.

Will you stay awake for me?
I don't wanna miss anything
I don't wanna miss anything
I will share the air I breathe,
I'll give you my heart on a string,
I just don't wanna miss anything.

I'm trying real hard not to shake. I'm biting my tongue,
but I'm feeling alive and with every breathe that I take,
I feel like I've won. You're my key to survival.

And if it's a hero you want,
I can save you. Just stay here.
Your whispers are priceless.
Your breathe, it is dear. So please stay near.

Will you stay awake for me?
I don't wanna miss anything
I don't wanna miss anything
I will share the air I breathe,
I'll give you my heart on a string,
I just don't wanna miss anything.

Say my name. I just want to hear you.
Say my name. So I know it's true.
You're changing me. You're changing me.
You showed me how to live.
So just say. So just say,

That you'll stay awake for me.
I don't wanna miss anything.
I don't wanna miss anything.
I will share the air I breathe,
I'll give you my heart on a string,
I just don't wanna miss anything.

For you all :)

And they want us to grow up
We don't want to get a job
We all need a decent rock
Where it's all Kicking off

Baby it's alright Baby it's alright
You don't need to call it off
Baby it's alright Baby it's alright
It's Only Us

We just stopped for cheaper thrills
Since the price went up on pills
From Stoke-On-Trent to Beverley Hills

We know it's all Kicking off
Baby it's alright Baby it's alright
You don't need to call it off
Baby it's alright Baby it's alright
It's Only Us
It's Only Us

Baby it's alright Baby it's alright
You don't need to call it off
Baby it's alright Baby it's alright
It's Only Us
It's Only Us

- Robbie Williams's "It's Only Us".

Judgement Day

So today, the O level results were out... There were joys, there were tears, but I wasn't there to witness it.

Was also consoling and talkin to Hernando today... pity that boy... Seemed like a painful breakup he went through... SIGH...

And now, Singapore students are gonna apply to their Junior Colleges... WHO IS APPLYING TO ACJC TELL ME!!! :P

Oh yea, I realised something... I don't think a lot of people blog in UWC... Like, so far, I haven't heard of anyone who blogs... I only hear about facebook... hahaha

Maybe I could start the blogging trend? :P

Oh crap, my bro wants me to play PS3 with him... EEEE. Not those dup shooting games omg @_@

Oh yea, last night, I had a dream that I bought a white wig, DAMN COOL OKAY. And I asked the person to cut it for me and stuff. REALLY COOL. And I was like, planning for another cosplay event... Then I woke up and I was like,"DAMN IT. THAT WAS A DREAM. I gotta get the wig :( NOOOOOO *goes back to sleep*" haha

And then... Keith asked me whether I wanted to go for the SOY Cosplay event on the 30th of Jan... NAH. Told him I'll pass this one... Maybe next EOY haha... I think I'll dress up as Zero the next time. And I'll BUY the costume.

2010 - A new door opens

Last night was pretty crazy. Was laughing so hard from how Ivan and my sis were starting to not make sense of what they were saying. lol

And even though I drank some, I wasn't turning red (NOT GOOD. Means I'm NOT HEALTHY).

12.5% alcohol wooooo... But red wine is good haha

Didn't bother counting down either...

Well, as a new door opens, more troubles and successes are to come. Good luck everyone!
