Note to God

Charice/Jojo - Note to God

If I wrote a note to God
I would speak what's in my soul
I'd ask for all the hate to be swept away
For love to overflow

If I wrote a note to God
I'd pour my heart out on each page
I'd ask for war to end
and for peace to mend this world

I'd say
I'd say
I'd say

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love, cause love is overdue
And it seems like so much is going wrong
On this road we're on

If I wrote a note to God
I'd say please help us find a way
End all the bitterness, put some tenderness
in our hearts

I'd say
I'd say
I'd say

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love, cause love is overdue
And it looks like we haven't got a clue
Need some help from you

Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is going wrong
On this road we're on

No
No

We can't do it on our own

So
So

(Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love, cause love is overdue)
And it looks like we haven't got a clue
Need some help

Grant us the faith to carry on
Hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is going wrong
On this road we're on

No
No
(No)We can't do it on our own

(So)
So

If I wrote a note to God

Through my window

Was really surprised to find myself liking a Malaysian song, but this is good stuff...........

Shila / Bunkface - Through my window

Don't want much, I just want everything
Thought that I could, do almost anything
One step in front of the other
Thought that I could do it alone

In the blink of an eye, its just another day
Telling me why, I'll find another way
Got this feeling, got me reeling
I can almost start believing

Now there's me and you
And we are not alone
You and me
We are together now
Through my window, I can see there's
More than you and more than me
Me and you
And we are not alone
Different view
We are together now
Through my window, I can see
Our wildest dreams could be so real

I see a spark, it starts a fire
Is this the one worth waiting for?
Thought that I could do it without you
Can't exist like this anymore

Now there's me and you
You and me
Through my window I can see
More than you and more than me

Me and you
And we are not alone
Different view
We are together now
Through my window, I can see
Our wildest dreams could it be so real

Our wildest dreams could it be so real

Modern Nature

Sondre Lerche & Lillian Samdal - Modern Nature

The moment has come to face the truth
I'm wide awake, and so are you
Do you have a clue what this is? (I don't know)
Are you everything that I miss? (I don't hope so)
We'll just have to wait and see (Wait, and see)
If things go right we're meant to be

The surface is gone, we scratched it off
We made some plans, and let them go
Do you have the slightest idea (No, I don't)
Why the world is bright with you here? (Oh, is that so?)
Stay a while and wait and see (wait, and see)
If things go right we're meant to be


Oh, what a world this life would be
Forget all your technicolour dreams
Forget modern nature
This is how it´s meant to be

The time is here for being straight
It´s not too early and never too late
People say I should watch my pace (What do they know?)
"Think how you spend all your days" (They all say so)
They´ll just have to wait and see (Wait, and see)
If things go right they´ll have to agree

Oh, what a world this life would be
Forget all your technicolour dreams
Forget modern nature
This is how it´s meant to be

Do you have the slightest idea (No, I don't)
Why the world is bright with you here? (Oh, is that so?)
Stay a while and wait and see (wait, and see)
If things go right we're meant to be

Oh, what a world this life would be
Forget all your technicolour dreams
Forget modern nature
This is how it´s meant to be

Forget modern nature
This is how it´s meant to be

I and love and you

My feelings for this song may be influenced by the awesome One Tree Hill episode that i just watched which was named after this song. But still, good lyrics.......

Avett Brothers - I and love and you

Load the car and write the note
Grab your bag and grab your coat
Tell ones that need to know
We are headed north

All one foot in and one foot back
But it don't pay, to live like that
So I cut the ties and I jumped the tracks
For never to return

Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Are you aware the shape I'm in
My hands they shake my head it spins
Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in

When at first I learned to speak
I used all my words to fight
With him and her and you and me
Oh it's just a waste of time
It's such a waste of time

That women shes got eyes that shine
Like a pair of stolen polished dimes
She asked to dance I said it's fine
I'll see you in the morning time

Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Are you aware the shape I'm in
My hands they shake my head it spins
Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in

Three words that became hard to say
I and love and you
What you were then I am today
Look at the things I do

Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Are you aware the shape I'm in
My hands they shake my head it spins
Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in

Dumbed down and numbed my time and age
You dreams to catch this world the cage
The highway sets the travelers stage
All exits look the same
Three words that became hard to say
I and love and you
I and love and you
I and love and you

Smile

Uncle Cracker - Smile

You're better then the best
I'm lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler then the flip side of my pillow, that's right
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where you send me,
Lets me know that it's ok, yeah it's ok
And the moments where my good times start to fade

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile

Even when you're gone
Somehow you come along
Just like a flower poking through the sidewalk crack and just like that
You steal away the rain and just like that

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile

Don't know how I lived without you
Cause every time that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile

Tribute

Nice camera trick tribute remix to the late King Of Pop.........

P/S They are all the same guy

Our deepest fear

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.

And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

- Marianne Williamson

WOWP

Another perfect example of why Selena Gomez should stick to acting. Why sing when she can do a perfect scene like this................

Falling down

I never found Selena Gomez a good singer as i always thought of her as a better actress than singer. This song is another example. Not very good. At least she looks hot in the video..........

GO DEVILS!!!!!!!

Make your wish

I remember posting a quote from One Tree Hill awhile back but can't seem to find it anymore so i'm gonna post it again. It is arguably the best quote from the series. Its quotes like this that make the shows my favorite.........

"Make a wish and place it in your heart. Anything you want, everything you want. Do you have it? Good. Now believe it can come true. You never know where the next miracle is going to come from. The next smile, the next wish come true. But if you believe that it's right around the corner, and you open up your heart and mind to the possibility of it, to the certainty of it, you just might get the thing you're wishing for. The world is full of magic. You just have to believe in it. So make your wish. Do you have it? Good. Now believe in it, with all of your heart."

- One Tree Hill cast
Season 5 Episode 13

And ive been doing some searching and managed to find the scene where they said it.....

Tell me why

Yes, they are gay and yes, im not a big fan. But i think the lyrics are worth the song being posted.

Jonas Brothers - Tell me why

Tried to turn on the TV to get you out of my head
Feeling something deep inside that I just won't admit
It's not like I don't wanna commit (wanna commit)
I just don't now why I can't stop feeling like this

Tell me Why? Why? Why?
Does it hurt so bad
Tell me Why? Why? Why?
Does it make me mad

Tell me Why?
Tell me Why?

Now I can see the storm's not gonna clear (not gonna clear)
Dressed in my pain and all of my tears

Tell me Why? Why? Why?
Does it hurt so bad (why does it hurt so so bad)
Tell me Why? Why? Why?
Does it make me mad

Send it on

Disney realesed a new song with their ever rising set of stars. I've always found it interesting how the current group of disney teens are so close together in real life. Well here they are with a new song which i think is not bad. I thought it was really smart to pair up Miley with Nick, Demi with Joe, and Selena with Kevin because their voices just match that way. Although Selena and Kevin were mainly just back up.

Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez - Send it on



A word is just a word
Until you mean what you say
A Love isn't a love
Til you give it away
We all got to give
Yeah something to give to make a change

Send it on
On and on
Just one hand can heal another
Be apart
Reach your heart
Just one spark starts a fire
With one little action
The chain reaction will never stop
Make us Strong
Shine a Light and Send it On

Just smile and the world will smile along with you
That small acts of love
Then the one will become two
If we take the chances
To change circumstances
Imagine all that we could do
If we...

Send it on
On and on
Just one hand can heal another
Be apart
Reach your heart
Just one spark starts a fire
With one little action
The chain reaction will never stop

There's Power in all the choices we make
So I'm starting now not a moment to wait
A word just a word
Until you mean what you say
A love isn't just a love
Until you give it away

On and on
Just one hand can heal another
Be apart

6 years

I just realised that yesterday(7 Aug), i am already exactly 6 years as a SSC member. I have always regarded as joining Stingray as 1 of the best decisions i ever made in my life. It really steered my life into a whole other direction. Without Stingray i would have been any normal 15 year old wondering what it was like to compete, feel the burn of training, and meet people from all around Malaysia. Well, instead of wondering, i got the chance to actually live it. Up till today there is not a single moment i regret being a part of the club as it has thought me alot. There is always things that you can learn outside of school and being a swimmer in this club have thought me much. I've met many faces, i've suffered lows as well as celebrated highs. It would be a painful experience to one day leave the club to continue studies or something else overseas. The club have changed much over the years but the fun is still there. From unforgettable trips to memorable events, Stingray Swimming Club have given me an opportunity to see the world in a totally different way, and for that i thank everyone involved in it.........

Gift of a friend

Demi Lovato - Gift of a friend

Sometimes You think You'll Be Fine by Yourself
Cause a Dream is a Wish You Make all alone
Its Easy to Feel Like You Don't Need Help
But Its Harder To Walk On Your Own

You'll Change
Inside
When You
Realize
The World Comes To Life
and Everything's Bright
From Beginning To End
When You Have a Friend
By Your Side
That Helps You To Find
The Beauty you are
When You Open Your Heart and
Believe in
The Gift of a Friend
The Gift of a Friend

Someone Who knows When Your Lost and Your Scared
There through The Highs and The Lows
Someone To Count On, Someone Who Cares
Besides You Where Ever You Go

You'll Change Inside
When You
Realize
The World Comes To Life
and Everything's Bright
From Beginning To End
When You Have a Friend
By Your Side
That Helps You To Find
The Beauty you are

The Gift of a Friend

And When your Hope Crashes Down
Shattering To The Ground
You, You Feel All Alone
When You Don't Know Which Way To Go
And There's No signs Leading You home
You're Not Alone

The World Comes To Life
and Everything's Bright
From Beginning To End
When You Have a Friend
By Your Side
That Helps You To Find
The Beauty you are
When You Open Your Heart and
Believe In
When You Believe In
When You Believe In
The Gift of a Friend

Catch me

Fantastic lyrics to a fantastic song..........

Demi Lovato - Catch me

Before I fall too fast
Kiss me quick but make it last
So I can see how badly this will hurt me when you say goodbye

Keep it sweet
Keep it slow
Let the future pass but don't let go
But tonight I could fall too soon into this beautiful moonlight

But you're so hypnotizing
You've got me laughing while I sing
You've got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unraveling
Your love is where I'm falling
So please don't catch me

See this heart won't settle down
Like a child running scared from a clown
I'm terrified of what you do
My stomach screams just when I look at you
Run far away so I can breathe
Even though you're far from suffocating me
But I can't get my hopes too high
'Cause every hello ends with a goodbye

But you're so hypnotizing
You've got me laughing while I sing
You've got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unraveling
Your love is where I'm falling
So please don't catch me

Now you see why I'm scared
I can't open up my heart without care
So here I go
It's what I feel
For the first time in my life I know it's real

But you're so hypnotizing
You've got me laughing while I sing
You've got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unraveling
Your love is where I'm falling
So please don't catch me

If this is love please don't break me
I'm giving up so just catch me

Here we go again

Another musical update here people. Demi Lovato has released a new album title Here We Go Again. Its a good album. Just finished listening to the songs. If you're a fan of the 1st album then its almost similar. Be sure to check it out. Almost all the songs are good. Her songs take some time to appreciate so just listen to it a few times before deciding whether it sucks or not.

What a weekend...............

Saturday , 18th July 2009Today i went to watch Man Utd play Malaysia XI. To be honest i wasn't in the mood after the 1 hour in the car trying to find parking and the half and hour walk to the stadium. But once i sat down and heard the crowd cheering and singing, nothing else mattered. I had watched (in my opinion) the greatest football players play right in front of my eyes. It match ended 3-2 in an exciting game. The fact i actually witnessed it in a stadium made it 10 times better. Rooney opened the scoring with Nani doubling the tally. At 2-0 i secretly wanted Malaysia to score some to get the game going as it was slowing down already and guess what, they did. Amri Yahyah scored a well placed chip of Van der Sar the make it 2-1 at half time. He then did it again in a much easier way in the 2nd half against Ben Foster. The remaining minutes were just fantastic. The crowd were practically screaming for Sir Alex to bring on Owen, and when he did, i thought the stadium was going to collapse. It was even louder when he actually scored in the remaining 5 minutes. Fantastic atmosphere, amazing experience.

......................................................................................

Sunday , 19th July 2009If Saturday's events weren't enough, i went to watch Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince today at Pyramid. As much as it pains me to say this, i was disappointed. It really wasn't like the other Harry Potter movies. I think it was the kind of story that could only be placed in a book. I also thought it was a dumb move that the trailers were making it seemed as if it was an action movie. To be frank, this had everything the previous one didn't and lacked everything the previous one did. Order of Phoenix had plenty of action and duels but lacked a proper story. This one had a very good story and there were some parts where i was really into it but there weren't many duels or any magic in that case. The only duel i remembered was a brief one involving Harry and Draco. Not many spells were used and the romance part were a little too awkward. As most of you may know, i keep my word of never reading a book before i actually watch a movie.

My theory is that the book will always be better therefore ruining the movie. And some people say the movie can only be nice if you read the book. If that's true, then David Yates is a fool. Majority would have only watched the movies with out reading the book. He should have known that and should have tried really hard to turn it into a good film. I'm sorry Potter fans, i know how you feel as a fellow fan myself but the movie just wasn't good, it was missing the usual Harry-Potter-feel. One thing good i can say about the film is.......

The stand

Hillsong united - The stand

You stood before creation
Eternity within Your hand
You spoke the earth into motion
My soul now to stand

You stood before my failure
Carried the Cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders
My soul now to stand

So what can I say
What can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

So I'll walk upon salvation
Your Spirit alive in me
This life to declare Your promise
My soul now to stand

So what can I say
What can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

So I’ll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all

So I’ll stand
My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours

P.U.S.H

Ok so the Subang Rally 09 was held at Sunway College yesterday. Based on feedback from friends, it was awesome. I wished i went for the conference but for some reason or another i didn't. I instead only opted to go for the Night Concert since it was free and wanted to experience the thrill. It was fantastic, if the conference was nearly as good i truly regret going. I'll be there next year, you can count on it. I had lots of fun, and really enjoyed rocking, jumping, and screaming to worship songs. Well done organising committee.

Pictures provided from official website

Nothing is Impossible

The P.U.S.H concert was fantastic. Will update more on it soon. Really tired now. Here's 1 of my favorite songs from the concert. I'll be attending Subang Rally 2010 i promise. Regret only going for the concert and not the whole thing this year........

Planetshakers - Nothing is Impossible

I’m not gonna live by what I see,
I’m not gonna live by what I feel

[Pre-chorus:]
Deep down I,
Know that You’re here with me
I know that, You can do anything

[Chorus:]
Through You,
I can do anything,
I can do all things,
For it’s You who give me strength,
Nothing is impossible

Through You,
Blind eyes are opened,
Strongholds are broken,
I am living by faith,
Nothing is impossible!

[Bridge:]
I believe, I believe,
I believe, I believe in You

Jackson Memorial

I recently watched the Michael Jackson Memorial. It was a really great 3 hours spent. I feel the tribute to him was fantastic and the fact that all the stars came out to celebrate his triumph was breath-taking. Some speeches were fantastic and the performances were entertaining. My heart goes out to the Jackson family for your lost. We thank you for giving us the gift called Michael Jackson, the man that attempted to heal the world. And in his own way, succeeded. He broke barriers none of us could even dream of doing and he set standards that would take a long long time to be beaten. Rest in peace King of Pop........

I found these 2 moments the most touching during the event

Galway girl

Steve Earle - The Galway Girl

Well I took a stroll on the old wild walk
On the day -I-ay-I-ay-ay
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk
On a fine soft day -I-ay
And I ask you friends, what's a fella to do
if her hair was black and her eyes were blue
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl
Down the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

We were halfway there when the rain came down
On a day -I-ay-I-ay-ay
And she asked me up to her flat downtown
On a fine soft day -I-ay
And I ask you friend, what's a fella to do
if her hair was black and her eyes were blue
So I took her hand and I gave it a twirl
then I lost my heart to a Galway girl

When I woke up I was all alone on the day i-ay i-ay-ay
With a broken heart and a ticket home on the fine soft day i-ay
And I ask you now,tell me what would you do
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue
I've travelled around I've been all over this world
Boys I've never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
