I Fade Away
(Pillars)
As simple minded as it seems
There is only one place for me to be
And it's right here on my knees
Seeking Your face
Your embrace
Something that I've never felt before
Never felt before
I make it so hard to believe
That there is someone out there
Reaching out their hand to
Help me to my feet
I've seen too much
Forgot Your touch
Now I'm holding the hand
That holds the world
That holds the world
[Chorus]
When I fade away
When I see Your face
I can feel You
And I fade away from myself
When I see Your face
I can feel You
And I start to fade
I'm still reminded of the days
When I turned my back on You
And told You we should go our
Separate ways
Well, I was wrong
For far too long
But now I've learned to
Never walk away
Never walk away
You've shown me life through
Different eyes
But I'll never see the things You see
No matter how hard that I try
So I let go
And lose control
And grab a hold of the hand
That holds the world
That holds the world
[Chorus]
When I fade away from where I wanna be
I can feel there's something different burning inside of me
[Chorus]

Concert was a bust...
Our school concert was THE worst so far. It was a waste of my money and time. I'd rather stay at home and play spore. I'm not saying all the shows were bad, some were good but the number of technical difficulties made everything bad! Except for the pom pom, it was the best. The speeches were too long and I wasn't even paying attention. It was boring....what a waste of all the effort.

Spore Review by me
Spore is a game made by the creator of The Sims, Will Wright. When my friend introduced me to this game, i was really excited to start playing since the Sims was one of the best games i've played but after buying a rip -off cd that didn't work, i gave up on searching for another one. In the year 2009,another friend of mine borrowed me spore. After installing, i started to play. IT WAS THE BEST! The game allows a player to control the development of a species from its beginnings as a microscopic organism, through development as an intelligent and social creature, to interstellar exploration as a spacefaring culture. I always prefer games like this cause it is interesting and fun. 8/10

The Last Shadow Puppets
Posted by Joel at 3:23 AM 0 comments
Within Temptation is a Dutch rock band. The band was founded in 1996 by vocalist Sharon den Adel and guitarist Robert Westerholt.[5] Their music is described as symphonic metal[1][2], gothic metal[1][2][3][4] and gothic rock[4], although in an interview, Den Adel said they fell into a symphonic rock genre with various influences,[6] and in a later interview with 3VOOR12, Sharon stated that "we consider ourselves more a symphonic rock/metal band ... we are in my opinion no gothic band".[7][8]
Directly after the release of their first album Enter, the band became prominent in the underground scene. However it wasn't until 2001 that they became known to the general public, with the single "Ice Queen" from the album Mother Earth, which reached #2 on the charts.[5] Since then, the band won the Conamus Exportprijs[9] five years in a row. Their next album The Silent Force debuted at #1 on the Dutch charts, as did their latest, The Heart of Everything. In 2008 they released a live DVD/CD, Black Symphony, recorded with the Metropole Orchestra.

How God helped me.
Well i got something to confess. I used to smoke. It relieves stress, warms you up when your cold and keeps me company when my parents are away. I keep telling myself that i won't get addicted to it but i didn't realised that i was. I kept on smoking until God took steps to stop me. He took away my stress by making my days better, When i was cold he made the weather warmer(global warming), when i was lonely He flooded me with youth activities(well i count l4d as a youth activity). Now i don't smoke at all. Thank You Lord!!

Laying down what you have for the Lord.
During the youth camp, Pastor Sean talked a lot about transformation and how to experience God.
My favourite part of his session was when he was giving the sermon about how God tests Abraham(Genesis 22). After reading through verses 1-13, you can put it in this point of view. Isaac is our most precious possession or achievements and Abraham is you. God tested Abraham's faith by asking him to sacrifice his son and from that test God knows that Abraham is indeed faithful because he would give up his son. So we should be willing to give up our most precious possessions or achievements and prioritize God!! Like how Pastor Sean gave up his law school scholarship to become a full time pastor. It might be hard but after we have done it for God, He is sure to help us and provide for us like verse 13, when Abraham saw the ram and sacrificed it in the place of his son after the Lord saw his faith.

LOVE
If i speak in the tongues of men and of angels,
but have not love,
i am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If i have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if i have a faith that can move mountains,
but have no love,
I am nothing.
If i give all i possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,
but have not love,
I gain nothing.
Love is patient,
Love is kind.
It does not envy,
It does not boast,
It is not proud.
It is not rude,
It is not selfseeking,
It is not easily angered,
It keeps no records of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails....
Taken from 1 corinthians 13

Racism is NOT okay
Well my school is filled with the most snobbiest of people to the most rude. First of all, the chinese( i'm a chinese myself ) are the most rudest and the most proud. Some of them thinks they have a higher standard than others which allows them to make fun, spread rumours and even bully. The natives aren't that bad but they still have that racist personality. They seemed to talk about other races behind their backs. They use terms like "cina babi, tambi, black" while the chinese use terms like "la zhi, 黑贵,and also tambi. i know its not right to judge people so it says in matthew 7:1-2 but i'm trying to say we should stop with this racism crap!!
