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.

Saturday, January 23, 2010

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...

Cosplay again....



The next AFA, and maybe EOY, I'm gonna go as Akaito... It's the dude on the right with the red hair.

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".

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!

Cheers to 2009

Alright. The last day of the year. Time for some reflective post right? So here it is. Below, are some little letters/apologies to the friends who I care for and NEVER want to forget. I took it out from an entry in my diary… Dating back to the 14th of November 2008. I was finishing a book, so I decided to do the reflective thing. So for THIS post, I’ve decided to post the letters, and OF COURSE updating the stuff and editing. So yeah… ☺ Btw, the friends are in NO ORDER OF PREFERENCE.

→To Ong Yu Jia & Keith Fernandez (I’m sorry if I spelt it wrong :S): My best buds since Primary School! Yeah, we were separated BUT, same birthdays. And we managed to find each other in this tiny island of Singapore :P Once an 18 Marcher, ALWAYS an 18 Marcher ☺ You 2 are the sparks in my life. I mean, how often can it be to find 2 people with your birthday? Haha. We must always celebrate together, and see the ageing process :P I don’t think anything can break our friendship apart. NOTHING. We are too close. TOO CLOSE I TELL YA! No one would understand this “spiritual” bond ☺ We have MANY MANY MANY memories that we will always share for the rest of our lives, and we’ll always be there for each other ☺

→To Ashwinnie Pillai, Justine Dacanay, Valerie Foo, Bridget Juliet Love, Sharley Lim, Ong Shien Ling, & Stephanie Sim Shu Fen: You guys, oh I love you guys! My great friends! ☺ There are so many of you, it’s impossible for me to write a letter to each of you! Haha ^^ Thank you for listening to my joys and my tears. As we advance into our futures, I’m sure we will stay in each other’s company, lives, minds, and hearts. You all have offered me great memories in my Secondary school life. Quite hard to forget the (crazy) memories we had even if I wanted to ☺ I’m glad I managed to know some of you guys better before I left school!

→To Dea Valerie Kirana: Ah, my fellow friend from church. Man, I miss you so badly right now. SO MANY THINGS TO TELL YOU. But I had to go for the SAT class. And then you started going to the English service =.= Aiyyyy… SIGH. Anyhow, thanks for always being there to listen to me complain/cry/gossip/diss/laugh/share my thoughts ☺ You’re a really good friend Dea ☺ And a close one too ^^ Just too crazy sometimes HAHA

→To Keren Ophelia Mulia: Ah yes... The plump girl that everyone knows :P Haha. I'm glad we managed to get a lot closer this year :) Who knew that you'd be one of my best mates? Haha I'd LOVE to have another chat with you again some other day! Thanks for gossiping and chatting with me :P Heehee. And I wish you luck for you O lvl results!

→To Christopher Thamrun: I’m sorry how we argued. I’m sorry that we even argued. I’ll still keep the remains of this friendship we have/had. I hope we can mold the remains back into something in the future?

→To Josiah Ho Chit Ian: Our friendship has got to be one of the best I’ve had. You were always there for me (not the first 2 years we knew each other at least HAHA). In times of difficulty, or when I’m in need of someone to talk to, you’re always there! Amazing how you can tolerate me haha. Well, I do apologize the trouble I got you into, but I guess, a true friend always sticks with you through thick and thin ☺ You’ve helped me a lot… but I think it wouldn’t have been done without God’s guidance. I’ve thought that He was probably telling you what to say to me coz He knows I’ll listen to you haha. I mean, it’s not coincidental that you came back into my life a second time as someone I can rely on, and during harsh times last year. A sign I believe. Ours is a friendship I’ll always treasure, remember, and keep. Without you, I’d have been a different person. You were practically keeping me sane and alive… Which is something I need someone to do for me :P Thanks for always being there ☺

→To Zong Zhen Chua: Sure we don’t talk a lot anymore, but I don’t wanna lose our friendship. I’ll always remember you like, DEFINITELY. Without you, I wouldn’t be the music listener I am now. You’ve had a big influence on me in my music life haha. And I thank you for that, A LOT ☺ Oh by the way, I DO care about what happens to you ☺

→To Jonathan Tang Yi Chien: Sup “One Punch”! I’ve always wanted to say that haha. You’re like, I dunno. No matter what argument we got into last time, I can’t bear to get pissed at you. I appreciate that you tell me your troubles ☺ (I’d still wanna hear more that you wanna get out of your chest! :P) I care for you like how a sister would, and I would treasure our friendship forever ☺ Just always keep that charming smile on your face all the time, and pray to God. He always listens :)


Well, here’s to the end of the year. But, like people say, as doors close, another one always opens. Like a new start, a new beginning. A new chance.



Cheers to 2009.

Yours Sincerely,
Lovely Taidy

A Place Called Home - A Christmas Carol: The Musical

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-pLuVFFGlA

There’s a place called home
I can almost see, with a red front door, and
A roaring fire, and a Christmas tree.
Yes, a place called home
Full of love and family,
And I’m there at the door
Watching you come home to me.

Through the years
I’ll recall this day

In your arms
Where I finally found my way

To a place called home
And a life for two

All I want is you

And a place called home
You and I will always be

In the dark of the night
Let your heart come home
To me

Through the years
I recall this day

In your arms

In your arms

When I finally found my way
To a place called home

And to live with you

Where the days are long

And the love is strong

And the dreams are true

And the dreams are true

To a place called home
You and I will always be

Always be

In the dark of the night
Let your heart come home
To me

To the place in my heart
Where you’re always home
With me

Eve of New Year's Eve

So... I had a weird dream last night. Wrote it down. I boght this thick plain book from Art Box 2 months ago I think. Gonna compile all my dreams into it. Yeah... Pity I haven't been writing my dreams down recently :S Hmmm...

So... I watched Alvin & The Chipmunks 2. Slapstick funny. Other than that, NOTHING. The storyline sucks. Like, there's NOTHING IN IT. It's only music, pretty colours, and slapstick jokes... Yeah... that's about it.

Hmm... Nth much to talk about today...

Alright. Gonna go watch A Christmas Carol: The Musical now :) love that movie ^^ Managed to get my sister to buy it the other day HEEHEE

Shoppin with da Ladies



Ate at Mandarin Gallery's Chatterbox restaurant for lunch. It was... 2.15. omg. HUNGRY. And my mum decided to take photos of me... lol...

Then uhh... Went shoppin with my aunt, mum, and sis. (Did I mention my sis came back last night and shocked the crap out of my mum from her sleep? She thought we were gonna get her or something. SHOULD'VE SEEN HER FACE. Anyhoo, yeah, I was part of my sister's plan buahahahahaha)

And uhh... We spent a total of $1361 at 313's Uniqlo (as you can see from the bags on the floor). Before that, we bought some shoes. I got a pair of boots (no heels) that were $261. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I wore the shoes IMMEDIATELY. Plus, I was wearing skinnies, my new "Sylar was here" shirt from Sharley, and my black Fedora Hat from my sis. I joked with my mum,"I look so good that I make the guys look like sissies." Hahahaha

Woooooo... Good day mate... good day...



But nothing beats the day we held hands for the first time... Not yet at least :P
