It is a sad day. France should have won.

If only their captain, Zinedine Zidane was not sent off.

It is claimed that Italian footballers provoked the midfielder to anger which resulted in a heatbutt at Italian, Materazzi.
I am amazed that Materazzi and Buffon still could kiss the cup with pride as if their strength and skill earned them the cup.

Italian football is sad history - faking fouls, provoking players. May you loose Euro Cup disgracefully... haha - let justice prevail!

______________________________________________________

Excuse me for my blabbering, I am bored and thought I should express my disappointment concerning the results at world cup final which I believe was full of injustice.

WHICH brings to me the point that this world isn't fair - not just in football. I've been thinking lately - where is justice? What is it anyway? Articles of sexual abuse, drug dealers fooling teens, terrosist raping and murdering young chrisitian girls just make me so angry. (Sometimes you wanna head butt this people into hell). But justice is also suppose to have grace and mercy... so how shall we live then?

Youth Rally 2006 - InDesperation 

To Aunty Jeane, Aunty Julie & Aunty Maggie,
Working with three of you is a great honour. I have learn much. Your level of commitment really inspires me. Thank you so much for all your help.

To Daniel Teoh,
Thank you for working so hard for the rally. It is almost as if you were the 2nd coordinator. Thank you also for being a very dependable leader. Great job with the vocals and choir.

To FGAC-GBC Choir,
You guys rocked! Your passion in worship is very inspiring - keep it up!

To the Music Team,
Comments have been made about a vast improvement in your playing. The tightness and quality is there. Even my schoolmates are downloading "United" now. Great job!
To the electric guitarist who worked endlessly to figure out the guitar parts - your hardwork is much appreciated and noticed.

To Ian Chee,
Thank you for lending your equipment and helping with the chords.

To Joshua Yeoh,
For writting the song "I Need To Need You" - I believe that song has touched many lifes.

To Ps Albert,
For giving us the "go-ahead" despite financial difficulties.

I have to thank EVERYONE who was involve no matter how much - Everyone's involvement and help has made this youth rally a success. Everyone counts from those behind the scenes to those on stage. Thank You very much for your time and commitment. I believe you all have and will be bless by God.

Forgive me if I missed out your name in the credits below. There are SO many people to thank. Tell me if I forgotten your name, and I'll put it down. 

Ecc. 3

Ecc 3:1  To every thing there is a season, and a time for every purpose under the heavens:
Ecc 3:4  a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

I must admit - I have not the joy of laughter for a long time. I had a few good laughs today. Laughter covers my pain, taking away my mind from the trouble of life, reminding me of the simple pleasure God created for man.

Life has not been easy. I have been "sick in and out", my health is deteriorating esp. with the reason hazy season. I'm struggling with physics in form 6. I'm having difficulty "motivating" myself to read my bible. I have not been praying consistently - many times my prayer is a prayer of discontent...

I hope you all are not discouraged reading this. I know "InDesperation" has but only recently passed. I must admit my inability to keep that "undying passion" seen at the rally.

The following words are the cry of my heart...

I want to put an end with my discontent,
Put an end with my folly;
Start afresh with your love,
For my heart's emptiness,
It surfaces.

So, bring me back to you
Surround me with your love
Leave me undistracted
Oh, bring me beyond just another touch in heart
But a change, a change of my heart

'Cause I wanna love you
But I really dunno how
I try everything, I fight,
But when will I realise, oh when
That is you in me, and not me
Make me surrender to your awesome love...
