I sing for joy....

I was gaping.. when Sharon told me that on Idol Gives Back last night... the show ended with the contestants singing "Shout to the Lord"

And true enough.. as I find my way through YouTube.. they did!

Only thing was the change of lyrics at the beginning.. instead of " My Jesus" they sang " My Shepard"

But But but....

on tonight's Result Show.. they corrected the lyrics.. and sang " My Jesus" instead !


Finally a song I can sing without looking at the lyrics haha. . nah.. a great start I would say.... that God is working.. =)

So enjoy the clip..





My Jesus, My Savior
Lord there is none like You
All of my days, I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love

My Comfort, My Shelter
Tower of Refuge and strength
Let every breath, All that I am
Never ceased to worship You

Chorus:

Shout to the Lord
All the earth let us sing
Power and Majesty, Praise to the King
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name

I Sing for joy at the works of Your hands
Forever I love You, Forever I stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have,
In You.

Wicked Weekends =)

After a hectic week of assignments and presentations ( that has left me voiceless now ), my weekends redeemed it all =)

Saturday was spent with Yo,PeiYei and Ban.

Everyone has been raving about 27dresses.. so we decided to catch it ourselves.. Tried booking night before.. but places were taken.. so we tried our luck buying the tickets that day itself..

Thankfully there were seats left for the 2 30pm show! But only the very front seats were available, and the seats for Booked Session will only open in 3 mins! We pleaded the receptionist (dunno if thats the right word haha. counterist?) to let us wait... so ya she gave in to our pleads and said " Ok lar.. we pretend saja la" So talked to her, asking her reviews on other movies to act busy haha, 3 mins were up real fast! And we got the tickets for perfect seats! =)




27 dresses is about this girl who has been a bridesmaid for 27 weddings. She's the girl that never says no to anyone.. of cause things change as expected... really loved the show, especially the part when she was changing into all 27 bridesmaid dresses and told every story behind it..












This was the funniest Dress. It was for the LA wedding.. and she wasn kinda too tall for her dress, so she hid behind the bride in every pic.. haha.





James Mardsen the multitalented- singer,actor,superhero was the lead guy actor in 27 Dresses. This girl seating next to me kept saying " He's sooo cute!! " to her boyfriend. Don't think the bf enjoyed the show much haha.

Overall great show!! Its funny and dramaish at the same time.. A must watch!! =)




Sunday


Lil Cute Jasmin is currently super busy working even on her birthday ...

So we decided to give her a belated suprise ;)

With her mummy secretly co-planning with us, it has been decided that Sunday evening would be the best time for the surprise to kick in.

So yesterday right after church, a all clad in orange Beatrice came to my place to bake Jas's birthday cake. I've tried making Marble Choc Cheesecake, but Fatboy's recipe seems enticing, so thought of giving it a try.

The guys Elwin and Tommy were supposed to come help bake, but the time Elwin came, the batter was in the oven ... tsk tsk. Tommy could only join us later...




Before. ( look at the swirls )






After - The end product. The oven does magic! ;)



So hopped we did into Beatrice's car to Starbucks to get her fav Chocolate Chip Frapp. Wei-I was winding down BEat's window, at the passenger seat, and suddenly realised it couldn't go up again! And sometimes you wonder, why it rains like cats and dogs during most inappropriate times. Lucky thing there were only me and Wei-I at the back so we sat to the farthest right to avoid the rain splashing in.. .

Jas's mum called and said she'll be back before 5 30pm, so we went to her house and hid in it... while Elwin was going to tape a big plastic bag over the unadjustable window pane.. As we were in hiding behind the kichen walls with the cake, suddenly Elwin dashed back!

" Oh noooo! She's back!! I think she saw me carrying an umbrella outside her house "

we were still very positive " Maybe she didn't see you lehh " . So we were back into our hiding mode ... and it was very strange, though Jas was back in the house, she went upstairs.. her mum said maybe she was looking for us there.. haha.. her brother Jon was also very excited about the whole plan, as he hurried to the living room, and gave us our bags, which we forgot to hide in time hehe.

Soon we heard footsteps nearing the kitchen.. and Jasmin's petite figure soon appeared. " Surprised! we shouted.. but she wasn't really surprised..


" I Saw you ELWIN TOO "

Aiya.. pengsan... But still her mum managed to convince her to come home early saying their going out for dinner at 6pm, which is a lil too early for them usually haha.





Jas and Cake with prezzies =)


The cake turned out yummy .. we girls can definitely come out with a mean CAKE ;)





John her brother who is super cute! But she begs to differ haha.






Basketball addict.. with ET at the back.





Gals..






The Party Planners with the B'day girl.


The night was still young, so we went out for dinner. It was raining crazily, so eating nearby was our only choice... so we headed to the overpriced yet everybody still visits - Ipoh Old Town..




Something bout her in this pic reminds me of Peyton from OneTreeHill .. hmm




Beat savoring the toast..



Tommy showed up while we were almost leaving .. haha. so we stayed an extra hour for tommmyy ;)




Who takes group pics in Coffee Shops anyway?

Us. =P


Headed to Leisure Mall to pick up Alyssa who just finished her work ..




She's a part time waitress at Vietnam Kitchen. Her attire is so Vietnamese. haha. cute.





Yes. She loves money, I mean taking pictures with it..



We tried to take another pic.. but Tommy's eyes were absent -in all the pics too.. haha




Happy birthday Jas!! Hope you had a blast, and really got surprised haha...
God Blezz ya, luv ya always! =)

Rain Rain Go Away...





There are so many reasons why I should be down ..


I found out today that a friend's dad passed away,

Also got to know today that my National Service camp mate passed away last week in an accident

Two news on death itself can be really hard to swallow.

I did real bad in my Commemorative Speech today. forgot to greet the audience, talked too fast, and stammered throughout the whole speech!

Forgot to bring the Umbrella. Hence was soaked entirely from top to bottom.



But above it all, there is one reason why I shouldn't be ..

Because He Lives I can face tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be a better Today, as long as I trust my future 24-7s in Him.
