we are the reason..

Another song that is touching especially the chorus. Makes us reflect on the reason behind The Passion of the Christ, why Jesus came to this earth to die for our sins..


As little children
we would dream of Christmas morn
and all the gifts and toys
we knew we'd find
but we never realised
a baby born one blessed night
give us the greatest gift of our lives

we were the reason that He gave His life
we were the reason
that He suffered and died
to a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
to show us the reason to live

as the years went by
we learn more about gifts
giving of ourselves and what that means
on a dark and cloudy day
a man hung crying in the rain
because of love, because of love

I’ve finally found a reason for living
it's in giving every part of my heart to him
in all that I do
every word that I say
I’ll giving my all just for him
for him...

We are the reason that He gave His life
we are the reason
that He suffered and died
to a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
to show us the reason to live
He is my reason to live

caught His Passion...

just returned from the movie.. wow it was awesome. especially for us Christians. for me it compelled me to take a fresh look at the death of Jesus on the cross.. and even more the reasons behind it.

peace out.

Thank You for the Cross Lord
Thank You for the price You paid
Bearing all my sin and shame
In love You came
And gave amazing grace

Thank You for this love Lord
Thank You for the nail pierced hands
Washed me in Your cleansing flow
Now all I know
Your forgiveness and embrace

Worthy is the Lamb
Seated on the throne
Crown You now with many crowns
You reign victorious
High and lifted up
Jesus Son of God
The Darling of Heaven crucified
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb

The Passion of the Christ

hmz i'm so excited! the movie will be released in Singapore on 1 Apr with M18 rating without cuts. Though that wasn't what we hoped for at first, at least the older youth will be able to watch it. If it was R(A) (or R21 under the new system), out of my cell group of 10 +, only a few will be able to watch. Initially if it was NC16, my whole cell group can watch, now claris cannot watch liaoz. =( but we'll wait for the vcd.. i'm sure there will be some kind of vcd available (tho probably pirated..)

Amazing Race at Sentosa!

i took leave today to go for the Amazing Race at Sentosa and wow i must say i had a blast there... especially at the end, tho we didn't win, but i still had a good time cheering the other AC teams on, even the organiser commented on our good team spirits. =)

my team has an agreement that this time next year, we shall meet again, for the same cause.. =)

got to know quite a few more of the juniors, including got a couple of J1s who are considering running for the 29th... my great-grand-junior council. wow.. think they will get in.. =)

ok, gtg, going to take a well-deserved rest!

i well guess that my posts on this aren't as frequent as i would like it to be... haha... how time flies, it's the middle of March! and soon i will be crossing the halfway point of my NSF liability. One down, one to go. Or, everything I have seen in the SAF up to that point, I will see one more time.. and then i'll step past the final frontier. But, I will have to see three of my colleagues step past that frontier, before I do so...

What would one consider milestones in NSF life? Colleagues stepping past the frontier? Getting promoted in rank? Marking out every 6 months? I guess anything will do... as long as i get a sense of time passing... towards the time when i myself will step past that frontier...

i went back for CF Camp yesterday together with a friend... that's the last night of CF camp whereby there would be a terrifically long session of worship and ministry. And, I must say, it was surreal. The presence of God came down like I had not experienced for a very long time. And time flew - it was before long that the time came for us (my friend and i) to leave as we had to get ready to go to work today. But we never regretted coming. To those Christians reading this, regardless of denomination, i really encourage u all to arrange some time and gather together in twos and threes to spend a few hours with the Lord, and the results will be amazing! Jesus Himself said "For when two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them." Matthew 18:20

ok time to go for my run... been a week since i last ran =P

i realised it's been about 2 1/2 weeks (1/52 of an NSF liability) since i've last posted on this blog. have been busy with stuff at camp... recently, the A level results came out... and many of my friends did well, but there are some who didn't, and my heart goes out to them... just hope that they'll get over it soon...

well life is as usual now... i didn't go for my usual run today... will be going tomorrow... but anyway now i've got bible study class on wed evening and cell group on thu evening so there won't be time for me to go for my run... so perhaps i should find a way to space it out. perhaps on tuesday and saturday (which is the weekly run in camp anyway) will be a good idea then perhaps on one of the other days i'll go for a game of badminton or something...

hmz actually had some inspiration after reading the blog of someone who's also in council...

if i could turn back the clock, two things that will not have changed would be that i would have still chosen to come to ACJC and i would still have ran for council. cos my 1 year tour of duty in the 26th council was the defining time of my life. had i not been in council, i believe my life would have turned out really differently. council helped mold my self-confidence, my resourcefulness, my courage. and although i must say, that there are a lot of things during my council term that i would have done differently given a chance to, but the two things i will never regret would be coming to ACJC and joining council...

yet another person ORD..

ahah it's tuesday... going to have duty tomorrow... and voila, i have cellgroup on that day too. so i'll have to go another day.. sigh..

today, yet another of my colleagues stepped over the final frontier into the civilian world. It's a no-brainer that i'm longing for the day when i can follow suit, but for now i'll just have to stick it out and just serve out my NS... and the day shall come. slowly, but surely, i'm inching towards the date when i shall trade my green card for a pink card, the symbol of freedom in singapore... it's amazing how much sought after the green card is in america and how the situation in singapore is the exact reverse...

have been doing my quiet time, and my bible reading, it's great... but must maintain lah... also for my running... hope i will be able to maintain it or else everything will be in vain...

i've joined!

Hm i have finally climbed on the blog bandwagon as of today =) so this is my first post...

I went for Fun-O-Rama today. and what can i say, it was great! got to see a whole lot of people whom i had not seen for a long time, including my classmates... a bunch of peeps whom i really miss a lot... council peeps are different cos i get to see them once in a while whereas the others.. i only get to see them once in a blue moon. yep so must keep in touch with these peeps...

had a great time there. heh. esp catching up with my classmates... and the undisputable highlight, the dunking machine... i tried to dunk my council president but well i'm a bobo shooter lol....

hm, the next event on the AC calendar is Red Blue Gold... gonna be going for it... it's on 13 Mar (Sat).. (this time not a Fri 13 anymore ! haha ! i went for the previous AC event and it was Movie Under the Stars (in conjuntion with Valentines' Day).. but it was Pirates of the Carribean... seemed to me at first the last thing to show on Fri 13... but it in the end was interesting... heh! )

ok, i kinda promised one of the teachers that i'll be helping out at the next FOR! heh! that will be in 2006 which means by then i will have stepped past the final frontier (those who read my friendster testimonials ... or rather the testimonials i write for people on friendster will know it is expressed in signal language as Oscar Romeo Delta!)
