Jordin Sparks – This Is My Now
We all have a dream.. No matter how big, how small. :)
“This Is My Now”
There was a time I packed my dreams away
Living in a shell, hiding from myself.
There was a time when I was so afraid
I thought I’d reached the end.
Baby, that was then.
But I am made of more than my yesterdays.
This is my now,
And I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around,
I can’t believe the love I see.
My fear’s behind me,
Gone are the shadows and doubt.
That was then.
This is my now.
I had to decide.
Was I gonna play it safe?
Or look somewhere deep inside,
Try to turn the tide.
Find the strength to take that step of faith?
This is my now,
And I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around,
I can’t believe the love I see.
My fear’s behind me,
Gone are the shadows and doubt.
That was then.
This is my now.
I have a courage like never before, yeah.
I settled for less, but I’m ready for more.
Ready for more…
This is my now,
And I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around,
I can’t believe the love I see.
My fear’s behind me,
Gone are the shadows and doubt.
That was then.
This is my now,
And I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around,
I can’t believe the love I see.
My fear’s behind me,
Gone are the shadows and doubt.
That was then.
This is my now.
This is my now.

“Out of my Hands”
This song tells the story of my walk with God.. Wow.. :..) From what I read somewhere.. a soccerball may not be worth anything for you, but in Torres’ hands, it could worth millions of dollars. Whatever thing that you couldn’t do it with your own, or you couldn’t handle, leave it in His hands, He will handle it for you. :)
i bought ‘bak kwa’ today!! :D
hahaha, I must admit i didn’t study today!! wahhh.. but that isn’t too much of a problem.. can still study tmr! :) was settling some business stuff today.. changing my guitar strings, went to buy a new set of guitar strings and meeting my sister and fred for koi bubble tea and mac.. then went for a great cg meeting and had fellowship after that!! haha! guess what I did when I came back? i took photoshoot of my beloved larrivee guitar! YES! After changing the string, going through all the trouble to get another set of strings because of one string that I cut too much..! how dumb haha.. then I polished up its frets and body.. so here it is!! :D (my bro thought I am selling my guitar haha!)
it’s so important to treasure the people around us.. but the truth is most of the time we are taking what we have for granted, especially the things that seem so common.. like seeing our family members everyday.. going for work, studying hard for exams, going for church and cellgroup everyweek and meeting up with our close friends, able to spend time to yourself with the guitar every night.
really be thankful for everything! the time you have with your parents are not forever.. you may never get to talk to that person in your cellgroup the next time.. just felt so many times we are rushing here and there for the things we want to do that we tend to take all these things for granted. okie continue with my blogging! HEHE :D

Heyy!! This sunday is Manu vs liverpool!! :D hahaha! Anyway not that exciting lah! Either going to be a draw or a win for liverpool as usual. :) not much to anticipate haha! okay just a quick update to my blog since feb! :D finally got time to sit down and update blogs! :D I’ve got 5 blogs to maintain right now haha!
sometimes just feel people are over dependent on computer science students! they thought that computer science students can design, make website, make videos, do games etc..! Anything to do with computers they can do it! hahaha. It’s strange but.. it’s so true! :D
the truth is someone who is computing student doesn’t mean he likes to do or this. He might like to do business IT, gaming, or social networking, but definitely not all! Doesn’t mean you are an actor you like to make people laugh right? :D
But what I feel important as a student in your own field, or at least in the computing field that people need to know is, computing science student should be able to do all things, but that doesn’t mean they have to do it. :)
Okie why did i suddenly talk about that! haha.. okie lets blog before my time’s up! :D
