goodbye quite-dark days

I am leaving twss in a week’s time. Stormy days over there..but I have learnt and gained so much. Finally took an MC yesterday as I know my body was breaking down. Spoke at Vignettes – art education forum at NAFA, Lee Foundation Theatre. Thank God for His grace that is always faithful and enduring. Also very thankful to Weng and Lee for their support, I feel so cushioned to be the speaker between them. Thinking back, it looks glamorous to be in a situation like this, and perhaps, that is where I like to be. Conversations with James make me reflect upon what I have been looking for. Inspired with his hectic schedule? I think I am more inspired for the fact that he had been living happily for the past 10 years and he IS happy most of the time. Although he can be pushy so very often, I am glad he is still humane enough to drop a word of concern. Like what Clifford had mentioned, leadership from front, back, side and within. Now as I am escalating in leadership positioning, I wonder what kind of leadership I am about to assume. The future is congested with challenges that will either sharpen one or cut one like a knife. But in obedience, come what may,

I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. -- Philippians 3:14

finally got hold of her wedding photos. this is my best friend's wedding.. 060206. Justin and Joanna =)

He will carry me

I heard this song on Fri, my student Firman sang this during the Teck Whye superstar. Though it is a song you can hear almost everywhere, I guessed it stirred my heart much and I know I want to sing to God this wonderful song. There has been too much for too little in this season, and I am busy beyond redemption. But one thing FOR SURE, I will never trade God for anything else. I want to remain in Him cos I know I loved Him and love Him still and have found myself in Him.

I knew I loved you

Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
and there it goes
I think I've found my best friend

I know that it might sound more than a little
crazy but I believe
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life

I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason
only this sense of completion
and in your eyes
I see the missing pieces I'm searching for
I think I found my way home
I know that it might sound more than a little
crazy but I believe

A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I found you

Beneath

Beneath that tear-washed eyes
imagined fears and apprehension
loneliness sprouts independence
Cooling that short-fused vision

Beneath that meekness so shy
heartaches almost colonized
possibilities to amend
When God’s tasks are oversized

Beneath that perky energy of ideas
worries for security in love
dreams come responsibilities
When will I ever fly away like a dove?

Beneath a smile or a kiss
formless blackness of winter cold
Lounging, bruised and beaten
When trailing twilight robes behold

Beneath that depths of thoughts
currents of missing you
insomnia appetizing nights
When sound of my heart waits for morning dew

Beneath unembittered lips
Sings lengthy tunes, with floating stars
Great God sows in me again
Invade the flames that left me scars

Finally we have done it!!!!!!!!! Meishan. me and Ann, the art teachers for the future.

away goes the old brown shoe

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. --Psalms 18:30

I trust in His flawless word today as I step forth to sign my 5 - year bond. I like how Warren pointed out that 7 is a divine number. Indeed, a true transformation for me will arrive in these 7 years to come.

In Egypt, God sent Pharaoh a dream of 7 fat cows and 7 emaciated cows. Joseph interpreted the dream to mean 7 years of plentiful food and 7 years of famine. In the Sabbath of Years, God decreed the 7th year to be a Sabbath of rest for the land. When the land rested, the people who worked the land also rested.

Each moment, the conviction in my heart increases and just turned enormous.

Im going to live a life of love that pleases you.

and this was my dinner. =)

7th July 2006 Chng Seok Tin Exhibition at Telok Kurau Studio

if you walk past citylink, you will find this ingenious work showcased by Tickleart.. these organic forms are made of masking tape! I went alone as usual, on my 'expedition' yesterday to check out the latest art happenings, and bumped into taliv and sandra at the Esplanade and we settled for chocolate.. was a pleasant meeting and I enjoyed my time with them..just when I was having cold feet to sign my 5 year bond in a week's time..I have one week, I need to think, fast and pray.
