I love the beach boys. They're awesome. Mandy Moore did a cover on one of their songs. Here it is... I find it really romantic. LOL. The acapella is cool too.
GOD ONLY KNOWS - Beach Boys
I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you
If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would livin' do me
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you

how well do we noe the ppl ard us?
i mean, lyk in church..
u may c them evrydae, lyk work wit them, crap an sh*t hav lots of fun, but do we noe if they r suffering?
are we building an atmosphere tt we can reali share? mayb not 2 a whole grp? but is there sum1 we can turn 2?
can newcomers sense this aura of care an hospitality?
or are we simply somewhere where we hav 2 put on a happy mask an hav no1 2 turn 2 in times of trouble, then we turn elsewhere.. mayb not 2 destructive tings.. but juz, away from church.
suffering in silence is the most painful ting tt can happen, an having no1 2 turn 2 is d most destructive force ever 2 ur psyce an christian walk i feel..
worse of all, most ppl hu suffer seem d least likely.
hear me try 2 be deep.. haha.. =P
wat do you guys tink? melancholic mood 2dae.
=P

ok, todae i was feeling pretty down, cus there were some issues, and there's the cramming for the exams, and a friend was going thru a period of religious crisis, among other things.. its like life seems to start crumbling, and on the spur of the moment, i decided to go cycling. alone. at night... yea. i dint even noe y i did it! it was pretty crazy.. but secretly deep down i always tot night cycling was really kool, and esp at night when u get to see the stars (none in singapore tho, stupid haze), feel the wind (it just rained, so its frigging cold) and i always tot doing it alone was kinda romantic (wensley you're weird!) haha it wasnt really romantic, but i learnt a lot of stuff.
One thing i learnt- light is really important. seriously! cus when i went to cycle, i decided to go along the canal, and its really spooky, cus theres only a row of lights, some arent working, and its so frigging quiet, and as u peddle you can see ur shadow looming in front.. den fading.. den appearing behind u and starts looming again.. haha it kinda reminded me of psalms 23 "even tho i walk thru the darkest valley, i shall not fear".. the problem is, i was pretty freaked out, and not only that, you can barely see the road properly, and the road is wet frm the rain.. yea. so i realised, u noe, God blessed us with light and its a privilege to walk in it.. and as Christians, we ought to be the light to guide the way, cus even when people take you for granted, they really need the light.
Number 2- People are really important. As i was cycling, i was getting more n more spooked, until i saw there are other people walking along the track. (WTH!?! What are these crazy people doing here late at night!?!) i even saw 2 of em throwing fishing lines down the canal and shining a torchlight to see the line.. -_- talk about extreme.. anyway, it kinda reminded me that u noe, there's always crazy pple out there wif you on the lonesome road =) ahaha! cus at those times when your all alone, its VERY SCARY, esp when everything is dark n gloomy and you cant even see the main road, no cars, its as tho ur all alone, there's nobody left.. den you see a white shape coming towards you, den you realise its an indian walking along the path in a white shirt =) haha den u feel a little bit happier... at least u haf a bike (nyahaha!)
3- Dont look back. the whole track was long and lonely, and when you look back, you cant see the start point, and its like.. will it ever END!?!
haha, so the point was, my track in ends on a normal pathway, but there's a small muddy grassy trail which leads along an abandoned train track, which goes along a short distance then you can get off and continue the bicycle track on the other end. pretty fun cus theres no light @ all.. "i walk, by faith, each step, by faith.." haha =P
den i cycled baq home along the main road, and its a relief to see cars, bright lights, foreign workers doing roadworks.. haha yea the trip baq was pretty uneventful except that i got splashed in the face by road puddles, muddied all over the place, ended up wif a bike that squeaks everytime i peddle, and a feeling of peace and satisfaction =D haha..
i think night cycling alone is pretty fun =) but i need a bell, LED backlights and some other stuff. anyone wants to contribute to the wensley-bike-maintenance-fund! haha

Can someone just list out how different the salt of the earth are from the world? i can think of a few, but i'd like quick, one sentence suggestions.
1. We don't try to get even, when the rest of the world says you should.
2. We forgive over and over again.
3. We constantly give thanks
4. We don't go clique-y on outcasts and loners
5. We care for others as much as ourselves
Anything else? I mean, i would like to know.

well, its me again, and now the time is 2.14am, where the only other people awake are fellow muggers, pubbers, people on the other side of the globe enjoying the sun, and crazy people such as those who are now hanging around with their hands on a Subaru WRX car, trying to win the bloody car challenge. sheesh.
anyway my story is about that last group of people, the crazy buggers. why do they torture themselves so hard, y'noe, breaking only for 5 mins every 6 hrs? for like more than 30+ hours now?! i mean, i tried not sleeping thru the whole nite once, n its a horrible experience, and thats with breaks, a nice couch, and a roof over my head. so wad spurred these crazy people who STAND (or squat, no better) thru the whole ordeal? the answer is right under the palm of their hands, which is like, the car (duh, we know that wensley, shut up n get to the point!)
haha =) ok the point is, they are willing to be put to the test for a car, which is a temporary comfort at the most. what about us Christians? our end-point is not a piece of metal, but to live in heaven forever and ever and ever.... (thats about a gazillion lifetimes, and more) and obviously, lasts longer than the car. who needs cars in heaven!? im gonna get my angel to carry me everywhere haha =P
so how much pain and trials are you willing to put in this life? They are Crazy enuff to endure. Are you Godly enough to widthstand this short-term period of trials n temptations for the greater good? The apostle Paul said ".. i beat my body and make it my slave, so that.. i myself may not forfeit this prize" (im sorry i forgot where it is found in the bible.. anyone can enlighten me?) anyway my point is this: when the time comes for it, are you willing to make the sacrifices for Him? even now, are you willing to spare time for Him, doing His will and making Him joyful?

Hi to all! its 3am, n i haf decided to take a break from my mugging =) and also taking joshua's advise, i shall start the ball rolling and give a short sharing..
"There was a man (lets call him john), who was caught in a flood. John could not swim, but is a believer who is very strong in the faith. So as the water level rises to his knees, he said to himself, "I know my God would save me!" and so he waited. After a while, a boat came along. The boatman saw this man's plight, and offered to pull him out. John replied, "Go away, i dont need your help, my God would save me!". And so the boat left. By now the water had already risen to his chest, and still John waited. Presently came another boat, and the boatman, like the first one, offered to save him. And again, John refused. The water was now nearly covering his head n he realised he was having trouble staying afloat, when came yet another boat, but John was so sure God would save him that he still refused help from the boatman. Of course, in the end he drowned and died. In heaven, poor John felt pretty miserable at how things turned out, and he asked God, "Dear Father, why did you not help me out in my time of need? i trusted you!". God replied, "Dear Son, I sent you three boats.""
If you have your bible with you, please turn to Matthew 25:14-30 ( It is the parable of the talents). As you read the it, you would realise that the master did not tell them to go and make more money out of what he gave them, but yet it was what he expected, and the servants knew it too (v26 ... you knew that i harvest where i have not sown and gather where i have not scattered seed?) Although He did not specify what to do with our lives, God expects us to make the best out of it for His sake. So, from the previous story, we can see that God does create opportunities, and it is up to us to see it. Therefore, whether you are the boatman or the drowning fellow, do not be so blind as to miss out the opportunity to stretch out a helping hand and further God's glory, or be quick to grasp a helping hand and be saved =)
ok thats the end of my sharing, and im back to studying meiosis... do keep the A and O level pple in prayer! note to josh n mich, don jus spam the tagboard, put up posts for other people to read, cus tag texts are pretty temporary =P take care all
