being great at one means to be greater at being another Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 1:29 AM today i woke up really early and it was a long morning. every minute took real long to pass. i snooze for 5 minutes and in that 5 minutes i woke up 3 times. it felt like 5 15 minutes passed. got to church and had a great day in church. as usual i love everything i do. i love august. had a good lunch that cost me a bomb because apparent the guy selling the fish didn't know how much he'll sell it for. so instantaneously he threw a price. kind of quite shocked but i ate it anyway. had meeting afterwards and then went off to borders. i love borders. i feel so happy now after being able to spend some time there. looked at books i would buy and dvds. it's the best thing. i had fedora, wenqi and shermaine with me too. before that i had a good beaf noodles meal too. yeah food again. got home, changed and went out for a jog. i am DE-motivated to jog so i strolled the entire way and was on the phone. it was quite fun... yeah i had my stamina built speaking on the phone :p really dad brought food home. ate it all. i'm watching 'WE WERE SOLDIERS' again now. sir, what do you think about being a soldier and a father? "i hope being great at one makes me better at another..." i'm gonna watch RED CLIFF on sunday man. and i have my next week packed already. FUN gdnight & gdbye July 29, 2008 just something a little crazy now Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 11:36 PM let me now reply to tags with no apparent agenda nor flow. let us now first talk about the very exotic nescafe that jian ming has. it was really powerful. i was quite sure there wasn't birdnest. what was that again? i must get one and put it at home. and my goodness my post confused everyone. i meant that there's some major upgrading down in yishun and we've flyers and brochures everywhere about it now up here in the north. i was saying i'm very proud to be from and living in yishun! hahhs like how you have Christ and then Christ-ians. i just meant i love Yishun! so i'm an Yishunite! I don't know man, if you live in sembawang you can call yourself sembawang rangers? if you're in kallang, call yourself kallang waves all i care man (: you get it luh! i need to blog with clarity now (: i do really hope i am in school now you know? whatever school luh, i don't mind entering kindergarden all i care. hahhs! army in 5.5 weeks. ARGH! but again many people tell me to look forward to it. i am and i am not. will see how that works out in 5.5 weeks time. things come and go i guess so it's no big deal. okay now... there has been quite alot of fun going on on the tagboard. apparently there's 2 jamies now. just 1 alan and 1 andy. the undisputable jian ming. only special jordan & charmaine. and everyone else. just that i have ivan screaming my name so loudly (: that looks pretty much like shini. or perhaps gwyneth. monday i slept alot and ate alot. today it was the opposite but i ate alot too. now my day ends & i remember the last few people i met today. i was carrying rinnah i remember that. i met how teng all dressed up and awesome. i met alan at the lift lobby giggling away. i remember Pastor How's smile when i left. then Joanne telling me Pastor Lia was signaling fun to her but i missed it! so stuff like that closes my day & i am really in love with everything i do. i do really enjoy all that i sit around doing. i just want to do all i can before army comes calling. and all i can i pray (: thanks for giving us the best 'job' to do in the whole world. to be shepherds, to do all that you know we do. it's the most beautiful thing on the planet. i'd better blog more because in army they ain't letting you blog no more. gdnight & gdbye Our lives, Your Glory. Your Name lifted high. Your Name lifted HIGH. We need to do something crazy now... July 27, 2008 what now? yishun? Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 5:17 AM good morning everybody it is early in the morning i figured i should blog before i sleep i am at jian ming's house & he is watching some video just to let you know, jian ming brews very good coffee when you have the chance, you can get a cup of nescafe from him perhaps its not him after all, just the nescafe? i don't know but he's nice whoever is enriching yishun and making it into a hub it'll take a few years for all that ideas to come up the brochure says 'vibrant hub & great outdoors' it also says 'enriching my yishun' so yishun is becoming a fairly nice place i am a yishunite. cheers July 26, 2008 on the rail to dreamland Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 1:16 AM thought of posting some pictures today but then it takes too long so i'll give that a skip. i'll do that when there is more time (: i had a great meeting with Pst Lia on Skype today. it was special because it was on Skype. it is just so cool being on this zone f team, we are special, in fact very special and privileged to be building zone f with Pst Lia. this is perhaps the best thing that ever happened to me as a person. zone f started it all... ain't it cool to see secondary school students giving their heart to Jesus? it is so cool man... it excites me all the time. can you imagine them saying some things with an effect only they can achieve when they say those things? i can so see it inside my heart man... i kinda can't wait to see them tomorrow for service. didn't get the chance to really talk to them today when they found me at the office but i will talk to them soon. awww... we have to believe in young people!!! it was all cool again having charleston and dominic on my left and right respectively. i can feel the anointing as i work man... i just am so inspired by them over this 2 days. just keeping quiet and being my usual ridiculously funny self and receive so much being around them. this is so amazing & i am grateful. just plain thankful for everything. i was supposed to be doing some work now, but i figured i will get them done in church tomorrow for some reasons unknown. honestly, i don't feel a thing when you mention army to me now. it's still quite far away to me. perhaps when it's really closer in a few days then i'll start to feel more. but who cares about army now when life is so fulfilling and satisfying? elgin got into commandos, good luck to him and i need my 8 to 5pm posting. i'll be more talkative another time (: gdnight & gdbye now... my train is here to dreamland July 24, 2008 just 4 minutes now Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 2:19 PM i woke up this morning and just had a few things on my mind. 1) AWW CRAP IT'S 9am half an hour before i was already awake. just that i reached home at 4am yesterday so i slept for that extra 30mins. Dad was leaving house at 915am so i took a lift to the station and i was on time for drum lesson. Anthony was very funny today. He asked me to shake my leg when i play my drums. Well Done Sir... 2) There's one last rehearsal tonight which is quite cool... really got to get things down already. 3) It is going to be QUITE a day QUITE meaning GOOD of course. just my style.. aww crap whatever... you get the drift. i came into office at 1110 around there? paid my hp bills did those utility things and then started to work on stuff until now. I just had lunch & in 7 minutes i'm meeting Pastor Lia. i had a great walk with Pastor How downstairs just now. it was awesome. i've got to put down everything he said. nothing ends until perhaps 11 or 1130pm tonight i'll see you guys around. i took 4 minutes to type this post? hahh July 23, 2008 Sashimi Craving Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 11:16 AM hey-yo everybody. i'm blogging because 'it just takes 5 mins to blog'. i'd eat up my words if i didn't blog now. muahaha A&A are breathing now our necks so i'm blogging hahaha i'm kidding their not... they're just nice. we had pizza and we're going sakae soon... i think. pizza was fun pizza was very filling. i had smses from Andy late late last night and Alan this morning saying we'll go to Sakae. maybe we should not go sakae but the other one at cathay which is so much nicer.we will see to it but we'll have fun. join us anyone? hahaha okay, i'm 10mins away from drum lesson. i finally got it and it's beautiful. hahhs wednesday is a long day. blog tonight... i am going to read up about Arsenal FC now. Just FYI, Ramsey is very good (: Gd day! July 21, 2008 many excite me as much as 1 excites me Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 4:27 PM it has been such a powerful weekend; mindblowing, mindset changing, expanding, new dimensional. i am so glad i am here in hoGc & so glad i am not here just 1 year ago or in recent months but for close to 7 years now. it is so sweet and cool to be part of a great church. i can't wait for 1400 and for the massive numbers. numbers really excite me & it is just appropriate now. LET'S GROW. Pastors have again and again told us that whatever we focus on will grow. so in a sense we need to know what focus is. sometimes focus like what Dr Cho says has to do with creating it in your mind. i mean, unless we do so, how do we focus? there is no gauge or picture we can keep our minds to. i'm excited to focus on whatever Pastors have been saying during service prayer meetings and services these weeks. if you have been there, focus and do what they've said and you'll never go wrong. whatever you focus on will grow. it just takes that little bit more to focus & to stay focussed. this is beautiful. So let's be focussed on GROWTH. 1400! Pastor Lia said, "keep a prayerful heart" Focus on that. I think the beautiful thing about Yoido and Surabaya, i'm guessing would be that the people think about praying all the time. They are in prayer mode at heart 24/7. Just connected into the flow. Let's be that. GROW! I'm sick of 140. I want 300! July 19, 2008 my unexciting post Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 8:40 PM i don't know what to say nor know what to type. i'm in the artiste room and i have the singers beside me. this is the first time i'm blogging with a mac and it's quite cool. i'm going to have rehearsal now and it is going to be very fun. i am just talking nonsense because i want to talk nonsense. i'm in the mood and the flow and the moon is circulating under my feet. i'm flying i'm flying. nonsense just ignore this. hahhs rehearsal now. this is quite fun... to just type crap and go. AE was cool today bye now July 18, 2008 the thesis Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 2:17 AM dear everybody, here goes virtual conversations again... jordan: i will see you soon so it'll be good. yakuza is off the action. please ask him if he's still alive. hahhs poor guy with crap school band. roy: we haven't had the chance to film part 3. we'll do it sometime soon. we're very prepared. just need the action. muahaha noni: rehearsal was fun as always. i'll be more hopeful about them. nicholas: ibrahimovic... oooOOOooohhh. sam: i don't want to but i have to. it is going to be so bad... let's see what kind of a vocation i get luh. that's the only way already. and if i pass my napfa. you can ignore 'i saw you' & permanent block that number. i'm kidding... i've just been examining my crystal ball life & clearly there's no snow inside, you can turn it around and there's nothing. instead, i see imageries only. the way it is like opening a book and a picture shows, turning the page and another comes. yeah that's right... that way. all those beauty cum budge had to do with the decisions i had made. some so regretful that it's irritating to talk about it to myself. some so victorious that i will lavish praise on myself. whatever that is, just know our decisions make us. they craft a life out for us. we have no choice. they win all the time. who is this man i see? the man my decisions craft out to be. crystal ball crystal ball... tell us all that our lives are beautiful. at least do it to save us all. it's roy tang's birthday now! sweet... 21 already and what a brother he is man. happy birthday and i love it leading the zone alongside you. it is one of those things i enjoy doing most and one of those people i enjoy most being with. so again, happy birthday. 21st birthday has to be special. back to the point. when we are 16, 17, 18, 19 we rapidly change. it is quite amusing how much we change over the years, even months in fact even in between coffee just now and tea now. after that you're pretty set but still changing. but not too off the tangent. yeah, yet who knows... i'm very intrigued by the changing-people around me. a moment it's this & another it's that. and even so those above 20. they're a different story. different altogether. too lazy to go into that & i am intrigued by them as well. just know decisions are really important. we even make them without us knowing ourselves. just imagine with me - you enter a room, there's green chairs & black chairs, 2 groups of people, whatsoever. you are so inclined and naturally built to conclude things. look a moment later you end up on some chair talking to some people. 2 decisions you made effortlessly. yeah i heard this somewhere. thought it would be cool to share. i need to eat. gdnight & gdbye July 17, 2008 some bug is killing me Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 3:53 PM in this short while i have before i go off and run a cg & then evaluate another one. i want to say that i am very excited about my day. there's this bug inside of me. i don't know whether i am nervous or what. definitely not with cg because i've did that alot. but i don't know why. it keeps me on my toes & i think that's good for me... maybe it has to do with what i am going to do later. hahhs definitely, but less i need a more concrete feeling about that. i am not going anywhere in this post because i just want to crap something for fun. just now, i was watching C3 Worship on youtube. It's beautiful. learnt all the songs and it's quite simple. very easy in fact but just fitting and they get under your skin too. learnt a little bit of indie songs on the guitar too. which is tough to play! but never the less, very entertaining for listeners. machiam need tons of effects luh or unless you get a good raw guitar sound. later tonight, i am going to take alastair's guitar and wack it away. drums is cool but guitar is cool too. amazing now... i need to go. thursday is going to be great. so will friday be... saturday and also sunday. hmmm... i think i know now, i forgot to eat. outta here now.
i'm quite noble Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 3:06 AM i woke up today rather early. in fact too early i went out to the sofa and had an extended nap because room's too cold. it was a treat. i hardly needed it but when i had options it's a different issue altogether. now my day comes to a close & in my mind are many things. 1) 'For Your Glory' & Hillsongs whatever It is a beautiful C3 album that i've been living on. It sounds all so familliar and the truth is that when i was at CCC in March they did all these songs so no wonder. I can picture them when i listen to the songs. They're cool, listen to them. For Your Glory is my personal favourite man. :) Elgin promised Hillsongs' latest album for 2 days now. i haven't got anything. hopefully tomorrow i get it. crap i live with him can??? 2) Growth We got to breakthrough 1400 man. Each and every one of us must grow. I've been good, very excited, very glad, very amazed & faithfilled. 1001 things happened over 1.56789 weeks and it has only did me good; talking to people seriously, searching the souls & chasing the thoughts. glad how it is now. glad how everything is everything now. 3) Dreams Noni just shared with me a dream he had. I am thinking, "will i dream tonight?" so tomorrow i get to share my dream with him. my turn now. hahhs we'll see. may i dream tonight... I told him, who and whatever or wherever we dream of, usually are the people, things or events that have got us throughout the day. those we were preoccupied by or totally devoured by. Well, he says it's God hinting things at him. Muahaha... we'll see how alright. Wait till i dream tonight and then we'll talk over a meal. Noni should pray i dream so it because more God huh? hahaha Pls, i am not religious. i'm just kidding. 4) People Paranoia eats me now. Aww, actually no. Maybe a minor version of that. Perhaps just worried. No... maybe preoccupied or thinking about. Well, i miss Leona & Jordan a little. I see Nicholas everyday. I thought of Benny few hours ago first thing i reached home. Well, L and B will be crashing my place this saturday so it'll be fun. So pretty much people like these. some what more but along those lines... yeah 4 out of many things. honestly, i don't know what to blog about. i've got a bad habit. i speak for the sake of speaking like blogging like this. alot of times, i don't know what to blog about but when i come here, some crap comes out. so cheers. hahhs Woah crap... Kaka & Ronaldinho on the same team @ AC Milan. That is close to divine. What number does Nasri hold man? Muahaha Jersey here i come! alright that's about that. i'm seated here and it's almost pitch dark. it's 3+am and 10am i've got to be at yamaha tomorrow. i need to bed and go to sleep now. muahahaha :p make doing good a part of doing well. awesome said. 7 more services... crap for the most noble reason i've blogged. gdnight & gdbye July 14, 2008 acoustic songs Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 11:57 PM i've got hillsongs preview for a long time. i've heard it through like 3 times i think. just that recently, it all comes back to me & i tell you it's beautiful. none but Jesus in acoustic is beautiful. so is hosanna and everything else. went to send Pastor off this morning. He has gone to Taiwan and will be back on wednesday. let's keep our Pastor in prayer. It's going to be amazing and i can't wait for more stories if any when he comes back. hang out with 'da people' and we ate at T3 foodcourt. after my main dish i couldn't resist the temptation of popeye's biscuits so i went and got 2. they're the best thing. i love them. bread biscuits whatever they are. just very nice. then my long bus ride from airport to home on an empty bus. perfect for resting and all those stuff. even more perfect with your IPod & Nicholas' psp. muahaha. yeah i know, but it's monday... got home, did some work and the people came over to my house. was with Noni for a long time. talk about stuff, ate, do stuff like that. when the rest came, did my meeting and then i fell asleep. after which i went out, met some other people then came home did more stuff and here i am now! sorry, i know i am bad at blogging about my day. i just cannot do it. But that was my day in a very simplified version. muahaha the best part was the acoustic songs playing throughout the day in my freezing room. Guo Ping: Hey Thanks man! Jaslyn: You're one great person! Roy: Wait for part 3, main character wasn't there last weekend. Nadine: KS will be around soon. Nicholas: Study hard! hahhs Andy: Muahahaha in fact not just me and him. alot more people like 10? saying who's more goodlooking. hahahahah Benedict: I'll join you in army soon in 2 months. So yeah, smile and wait for me. Fedora: Let's do it then... next monday? hahhs Sinfei should arrange Alan: CALL JAMIE TOO! Mondays are always good. I'm at home all day. We see how huh... Get your twin too. Let's see if Jamie can... hahaha i'm okay, ask her! it has been a crazy 1.5 2 weeks. i just looked at my past weeks workplan and hahhs quite fun. very tired, very drained but very empowered, filled and happy. just charged up. the more you do the work of God, the more faith enters and the more you get on a roll. faith is only complete with works, so by completing it, it moves to a new level. it is beautiful how things are created by God. simple as always. i love my Jesus. My Lion of Judah & Lamb of God. full of complicated puzzles and figures that i can't explain but filled with simple answers. it's simplicity in complicated and the other way round too. that is my Jesus. He just wants all of us to do a simple thing... Just believe. sometimes the easiest thing to do is the hardest thing to do. well, the other way round is too. believe unto Jesus? some people rather go jump into a pool filled with piranhas... hahhs yeah salvation is so 'cheap' in fact free. Jesus is 'so' accessible - one prayer away. what are you thinking? be simple & be very humble. yeah that's all i'm screaming sliently in hope that you know. that's the way out... elgin came home with a ramli burger for me... sweet dad bought food for me too.. swwwwwwrrrr-wwwwweeeeeeeettttt my beautiful family & my acoustic songs makes a beautiful monday. see ya gdnight & gdbye now July 13, 2008 TODAY Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 12:28 PM 1229pm & i'm 1 hour away from some meeting i have at coffee bean. come on, it is time to type some stuff here... Nadine: Maybe we'll get everyone to watch the Dark Knight when it's out. Let's see if everybody has time. Jaslyn: Today the guys are doing Part 3 of Centaur on the Loose i think. I saw them rehearsing yesterday night. So it's quite serious man, they are on for it. Andy: Hi man!!! Yesterday we were on the bus and we had a discussion about you. Everybody still think i am mixing up you and alan... well, i'm not. Guoping: Argh crap, i went online and there isn't! You guys super fast... woah, we cannot run luh. .: Yeah thanks... Pastor How & Pastor Lia taught me made me all that. yeah that's that. Nasri to Arsenal! Arshavin wants Arsenal! I had a great saturday. Fulfilling and very good. Today is Sunday, TODAY is going to be great. July 11, 2008 my neighborhood sleeps tonight Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 12:49 AM i took the same train at the same usual time home tonight. the difference had only been that it was quiet. i got the 7-11 near home, got some nuts and was out of there... then i came to the old road that i always take, since a kid even up till now. last time it used to be grass and it was sandy where people walked. but now there's a path. the path is lit & it stretches like 80 metres long. it's one long path cutting a massive field into 2, so that is what is cool about it. it's a wet night and you had puddles of water on the path. tonight seem different because it was particularly dead. the neighborhood i guess was in emo mood muahaha. perhaps everyone went to sleep early today... so there i was walking and i remembered the times i walked that path alone. it was always when i hit that path that i start to reflect on my day and sometimes my life. it was the place the holy spirit spoke most too. where things was put into place and where i had some perspective and decisions, big or small made. well, it's not so dramatic as it sounds. just like how you walk home and worship God, i always pass this place so yeah.. it becomes a little special. not significant... a little special. not too sentimental about places and what happened. so just special.. so there i was and for the first time i felt different. like, "hey, i want to get home and sleep..." muahaha.. "all these things look beautiful but i want to sleep..." "whatever whatever but i want to sleep..." it was a fulfilling day. it was fun, very exciting and very mundane at the same time. yeah just a cool day and one which was memorable. but soon, i'll forgot 10 July 08. hahhs... this is so fun; my life. want to just get a tea and start reading. oh yeah, before i go... today i was in the artiste room with Centaur Lim. Kinda cool, laughed, joked, whatever that whatever. i found out that Chris Martin is quite an insecure guy. paranoia eats him all the time. time for us to watch The Dark Knight. "i am working actually. i love being able to work. it is a gift" heard that somewhere man... cool one alright now... gdnight & gdbye July 10, 2008 Centaur on the Loose - 2 Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 11:48 AM i'm not very sure how many of you have seen part 2 of 'Centaur on the Loose' but this is it. Enjoy... We'll need to rehearse the centaur roles again and again and it will be crazy. But we have KS who can train all of them. Benny can now be that young centaur. We'll see how things go from here! July 9, 2008 kidnapping benny Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 8:03 PM This is what i was talking about. I forgot about my blog... i'm sorry blog.
July 7, 2008 abu youssef & salemeh are just 2 names of terrorist i remember from the movie 'munich' Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 2:29 AM tv's on. laptop's on. electricity bills burning. but i don't really care already because this is sunday night... the past 7 days was brilliant & just amazing. i can't begin to tell you how good it was for me. did bm after a long long time. totally enjoyed it to my core. it was fun cleaning up the church and especially the toilet. only i can splash water around during bm. yeah, only i can. hahhs kidding. it was so funny. it was spontaneous, i just thought i should do it. fun, go do bm... it's the coolest thing. what else was there? i remembered we played soccer & Pastor Lia asking me to give Sinfei a chance. hahhs! She also got me to take down Wei Liang which i very very with all integrity say that i cheated and jumped on him to stop him... it was fun playing soccer with these unseemingly excited 'soccer fans' like nadine and sinfei. i worked out some stuff and figured out some puzzling things on my own. that was really adventurous for me too. i'm thriving on momentum. spoke to some amazing people & surprised at how things were like speaking to them. there were countless people that i cannot name because it's too long. teased and disturbed alot of people as usual. i guess i have to stop teasing people so much. cherie would agree with me. so let's see how things go from here. it's just so impulsive man, i have to reline all my nerves. hahhs crap... i listened to a few of the most beautiful songs i've listened to in 19 years of living. NO... i'm exaggerating. they're just good songs. 'viva la vida' finally gripped me. just finally but it's dying already. 'hosanna' came alive again.

it's Your song that sets me free Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 12:27 AM starting posts has always been a hassle. so let's get straight into it. i am going to get 'blackbird' soon. that it's. period. creed has christian roots so you get what i mean. main singer, scott stapp grew up christian and attended a christian college but he backslided and turned away from God like crap. he's very controversial & very over the edge. basically he messed up his life & was no longer quite influential. i thought when i was younger, this was going to be a Bono alike. "When his mother had been remarried for six months, Scott overslept at a friend's house, missing church, and then went with the friend's family to a nude beach. That evening he was spanked for the first time. Scott realized that he was in a new world of discipline. As he got older, the spankings decreased and copying out passages from the Bible replaced them. One punishment would be to write out a different Proverb each day for a month, along with a commentary to show that he had thought about and understood it. His father would check the commentary -- if the spelling, grammar or sense fell short, Scott would have to rewrite it." "For several of these years he didn't speak to his father. "He had made the determination that I didn't have Christ in my life," says Stapp. He decided he would show his father by making it his way. His mother would send him care packages with canned food in them, but Stapp was determined not to ask for anything. He was going to pay his way through college, and he was going to become a rock star. Or a lawyer. "I figured I had to have a Plan A and a Plan B," he says." great voice like anything man... great background maybe just a little extreme. hated his father and destined for failure then. went into all that sex, drugs and crap. he's a nobody presently. so creed was dead. now alterbridge with alittle more sanity to it. mark tremonti whom i thought was every mutt's favourite guitarist up till this day luh. but drummer scott phillips is good! like red rain drummer... but tons tons more experienced and professional. multi-talented, plays keyboards, etc. all drummers can double up, like coldplay's will champion. yeah so you get the drift... hong hwee can bv playing drums too. so that makes him great. this below are lyrics of some of alterbridge's songs: Looking back I clearly see What it is that's killing me Through the eyes of One I know I see a vision once let go I had it all Constantly it burdens me Hard to trust and can't believe Lost the faith and lost the love When the day is done Will they open their eyes And realize we are one On and on we stand alone Until our day has come When they open their eyes And realize we are one I love the way I feel today But how I know the sun will fade Darker days seem to be What will always live in me But still I run It's hard to walk this path alone Hard to know which way to go Will I ever save this day Will it ever change Blah Blah so on and so forth... One more... this is more powerful: And to the ones in which we sing, We are honored you let us in I remember the thoughts of many things, Of the glory that you bring I was never the right one to dare to dream, It's funny what this life has done to me now You were always the only, To help me see there was a road I must find, A road that was mine But I'm down to my last, I'm standing here alone Looking back, on it all But I'm down to my last, I'm ready but I'm wrong, And I'm blind to it all And to the world to which we sing, Want to try to do us in I remember your name and I know your face Can't forgive and can't erase I was never the right one To bear the weight of something fueled by words I'd learn to hate You were always the only To help me see that to love is to shine In your world, blind But I'm down to my last I'm standing here alone Looking back on it all But I'm down to my last I'm ready but I'm wrong And I'm right to it all But I'm down to my last Well I'm ready but I'm wrong, And I'm scared of it all But I'm down to my last I'm ready but I'm wrong And I'm blind to it all But I'm down to my last And I'm ready but I'm wrong And I'm blind to it all Yeah that's it... much more in my face for this one. i'm not entering into what this is all about. i hate reading blogs where people put up lyrics and start talking about them. so yeah i won't do that. i've been hearing Viva La Vida playing throughout the stores and almost every place that i go to. alright now, it is a nice song but it is not that brilliant musically anyway. or was that the song Chris Martin says to be the best song in the world? but whatever... i just know one thing. it is HIS song that will set me free. when you feel all that way some song lyrics go or tell you to feel, crap that. they make alot of sense to me too & it is so real... so real that people like us would listen to them more. so this is what i think, we need christian songs that are real. real life. real feelings. praise and worship but unconventional! modern sounding with diff guitar sounds and different singing techniques, you'll have the rocker voice, pop voice, whatever luh. these songs creates so much identity and connection. at the end of the day, it is our song that will set us free. your song diff from mine. mine diff from yours. it's our song for God that sets us free. our diff expressions, our diff cries & praises. we all sing a different song, a new song, each time different in expression but that is what is beautiful about it. it becomes His song. & only only our song turned His song will set us free. July 1, 2008 it's just the decoy Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 12:31 AM 1am, 1am before, i was awake... really awake in fact & i think i was on my way home or already home having supper with ernest, sean & wayne. i was still very awake when we reached Hong Hwee's house close to 2am with desserts, drink & snacks. we were ready for Euro Final. 215am i told myself i'll take a nap... so i did 240am wayne came and told me the game was starting, i said 5 mins more. 245am wayne came again & i said 10 to 15mins more. i woke up the next day at 10am realizing i was on Hong Hwee's brother's bed. that had been the only thing i remembered, i really woke up at 12pm realizing i had missed the Euro Final. we slacked and relaxed and dozed off and left Hong Hwee's house at 230pm. i had caught up with sleep (: muahahaha crap... went home got work done, then went out... after that met ernest, sean & hong hwee at causeway point to catch 'wanted'. hahhs it's quite a good show. nc16 loaded with lots of bad language... but in general the plot was awesome. muahahaha yeah, it's a guys show at the end of the day. maybe some girls. plenty of guns, plenty of stuns, plenty of grunge, plenty of cars, plenty of those stuff. bullets can curve. many many twists and a mysterious plot. cool cool! my grandpa told me a stupid joke today. he's old very old but still very humourous. yeah, quite cute. my grandma run a call marathon amongst us siblings. called us 1 by 1 and said the same thing to us. very amusing (: she was travelling home when i spoke to her. when she reached home she called again. quite funny luh, i must teach her webcam one day. voice is not good enough. my tv is on and rafael nadal just won his 4th round. he was being interviewed and the person asked him how he felt about Spain winning the Euro 08. Muahaha not bad... he's quite proud to be a spainard. 44 years and finally a Euro trophy. guess it's really history making for Spain this morning. all the newspapers, websites were saying 'Beautiful Football Triumph' YEAH OF COURSE.... i've been listening to creed remake alterbridge for alot of times today. they are good. very good. the drum playing is wooo... simple and powerful. but what's more powerful is that the drums has so much chemistry with the guitar. 'in loving memory' is beautiful yeah that's about it. tomorrow is a good day. engine starts!
