I had yet another dream

it was the same place as yesterday, same arrangements, same room, same people
-
except Charles was there where Tim sat
-
and he seemed to make a couple of remarks which made us pretty awkward
-



but sometimes, in spite of stuff
-
even if its awkward, I sometimes wish it was true
-
I wish things wouldn't drift apart so easily =/
-
why  ='(



I guess one needs to deal with emotions in a mature and logical manner,
-
I guess one also need to know when to move on...
-
but not yet, not yet....

make time

someone I know told me this
-
‘in life, there’s really no such thing as being too busy... we are all given the same amount of time
just whether you’re willing to make time for a friend... ‘
-

I'm always willing...
... to make time to do things to make you happy (hopefully lol)
... to make time to sit at a bench outside a basket ball court at chevrons to wait for the exact time to press the send button
... to make time to travel down to whitley after work just to pass something along
... to make time to pray for you while you are away
... to make time to wake up early, to find my way there even if a friend has forgotten
... to make time to sit down and write and think...


just like how you were willing...
... to make time to listen to my silly problems
... to make time to stand up for me when others were mean
... to sit out at a mcdonalds waiting for me and watching me eat even though you had dinner at home
... to put up with a sometimes annoying, irritating, immature me


time really flies I guess

we all grow up... and moved on to different phases in our lives

but I do know something..

God is always willing to be there for us... all the time...

and thats the greatest assurance we all have... (:



Marc told me this
sometimes we need to remove ourselves from situations that might lead to us being socially awkward
-
Tim told me this:
that in many things, we need to give people time, people time to change, we need to be patient in loving one another.
-


time is something we don’t really understand
-
but I think its in not understanding, that we learn to have faith in God who transcends time...

CD reviews

My ratings for the CDs I just bought over the week at TP .. haha

Passion: Awakening -> (4.3/5)
- Love the opening track(awakening - Chris Tomlin) which hasn't been released elsewhere...
- These songs really speak out the cry of a generation desperate for God.

tobyMac - Tonight -> (3.7/5)
- This being the first album from tobyMac I bought... so I’m not too familiar with his other albums
- The R&B style is cool, but not exactly to my taste...
- I like the track City On Our Knees though

MercyMe - The Generous Mr Lovewell -> (4.7/5)
- Lighthearted and catchy songs, done in a way that really lifts the spirit up (:

Hillsong -The Beautiful Exchange -> (4.1/5)
- On first hearing, it feels like a typical Hillsong album,
- Similar to the trend of the past few albums, largely guitar and effect synth/ pad driven..
- Closer hearing however allows me to appreciate the album more...
- Some of the lyrics are pretty meaningful too, esp. the title track (which is also extremely long - 10:43)
