` 1009; - significance



"Even if I have only 1 minute or 1 second in my life, I will do my utmost best in everything."

I want to be remembered for something. Something God-worthy, something that will be significant. Something that will make an impact.

I have so many things I want to do in my life for others... not just seeing them saved.
Getting them saved is the most important thing and fulfilling that makes me happy.

But next time, when I become someone, somebody everybody knows, respects, like a World Star, I want to be simple, pure and holy in a complicated world. I want to be someone that when people mention my name, they will say, "Oh, her? She has something the others do not. That's what makes her different."

There's so many things, as I said before, that I want to do.
Donate blood? Adopt? Give money to the poor and needy? Help teenagers overcome their insecurity? Introduce them to the best thing in the world?

I want have the God factor in whatever I do then, and now, and beyond.

Success? I know success is important but significance to me is the thing that matters.

"Let them say what they want to say about me!

That was the mindset I had when I was just a newbie. People say, "Who is this kid?" But I tell myself, I will be the best one day. Just you wait."

Even if I have only 1 minute or 1 second in my life, I will do my utmost best in everything.

Complacency is the thing that pulls you down.

Naomi! Aja Aja Fighting!

` 1008; - kryptonite on this one way street



I like to think I know who I am, and who I stand for, but sometimes I think I'm even a stranger to myself. Under different circumstances I find myself thinking, saying and doing the most unexpected things.

Sometimes I don't.

When caught in a situation I don't understand, I tend to be doing the things that I think is right and end up causing another set of problems to appear like jutting rocks. And I end up feeling tired (yet another set of problems!), and like a suffocating juggler drowning. And all these leads to insecurity and desperate need of attention, hence, the boyfriend syndrome comes in. Or at least, it used to come in.

Sometimes I avoid this by closing my eyes hoping that it'll all go away, but sometimes I stop, observe and try to understand everything that has been going on. Then, I end up tying myself in complicated knots. And the whole process starts over and over again. Especially in a world of childish politics out there, especially in a supposedly "wholesome educational environment benefiting of every child."

I am jaded. Extremely.

Physical strength can get me thus far. Emotional strength can be useful but it will wear you - and others, out. Financial strength can last you for a while in your retail therapy but it can't protect me from trouble (even the most successful lawyers fail sometimes). What I really need is spiritual strength. That's the only thing that can last me through these turbulent times. It never fails, no matter what crap the world sends my way.

I need to trust the Lord at all times and places. If I can't have my spiritual and emotional training now, what will happen to me in the future? Especially when the entertainment industry is so complicated and profound.

I need faith. Not just a little bit, but all of You.

` 1007; - rain & colbert dance off



HAHAHA THIS IS FUNNY.
GO RAIN. <3

I finally realised Stephen Colbert is someone whom you want on your side. Chill out, Korea. Stephen Colbert as the MAN is totally different from Stephen Colbert as the HOST. His HOST side of him is sarcastic and funny, whereas Stephen Colbert in real life is actually, quite personable. As the HOST, he never puts himself in a position where he is the loser but in here, he makes fun of his own host position. So Korea, just... take a chill pill.

This is the clip that Stephen Colbert parodied Rain's "How to Avoid the Sun". It's called "He's Singin' in Korean!"



Anyway... Rain's ORIGINAL version...



GO GO RAIN! :D

` 1006; - inside outside









Sometimes you could really see the difference.

I can't say much, but I really thank God I'm in Heart of God Church, minus the superficiality that school abundantly provides us with. I mean, it won't kill you to help me pick up the cover right?!

I can't wait till graduation man. But not before I leave behind a strong Hougang Sec team. I'm sure with the amount of people Benny brought Hougang Sec is on full blown revival. Hooray.

O Level Chinese was okay. But I somehow feel uneasy though. Never mind. I do my best, God will do the rest.

*

It was great playing 123 Puppet (haha eng trans!) with B2 and B4 yesterday outside Marina Square. :D We just went crazy with pure clean fun and it was swell. I'm happy. Really. I'm thankful for such wonderful wonderful friends.

Bussed home with Andrew Seah and got to know him better. Well I'm still a little steamed off by him ("Yet another victim of Rain's butt-uglyness!"). But in all he's a nice guy and he can be nicer. Well I've introduced him to J-rock and Kpop and I bet he likes abingdon boys school now to the delight of Cheese. Anyway. Talked about God and everything, and I'm glad he's coming again next week. Sweetness.

Was having a debate - not heated, FYI - with Grandfather about his Sai Baba beliefs... yeah Sai Baba. He's been a devotee for really long and he tried to instill Sai Baba's beliefs in me but hey granddad, I love you but no thank you.

I think he was really impacted by my question: "Do you have a purpose and destiny in whatever you're believing now?"

Basically Sai Baba proclaims he's God, and that he just wants his devotees to do good. Now then I realised that it's so... one dimensional? One way relationship? Granddad said he prays to Sai Baba because he wants security... it's just so one way.

I mean, why put your faith into something or someone, rather, so fragile? With all due respect... I don't agree with him. God as self? Nah... if it were the case I'd be God (Goddess?) and I can summon Rain to me or something. Then every one of us would be gods/goddesses already and where's the purpose in that. If we're God then who created us? Surely not "GodGod"?

Well I sure am confused. Maybe this is all what it is. To confuse you so you follow it and get lost in a spiral of confundedness. But I don't buy this...

:/

Well I still love my grandfather.
I'm his favourite granddaughter so all's well and I'm happy.
His salvation will be one of the best things in the world.

You know what?

You're insecure.
You tend to think too much.
You think that what you dream for will not come true.
You're lazy.
You tend to think that whatever you do, God dislikes you for it even though you know He loves you
You don't focus.
You're way too emotional.
You think that God doesn't have anything in store for you.
You worry a lot. A LOT.

It's morning rush hour, and you're trying to jostle and push through the throng to garner the coveted 50 x 50cm spot on the 8.30am train. You're carrying a laptop, and your heels click with the rapidness of a jelly-legged tap dancer. You don't just want a seat. You want a window seat. The one nearest to the door. That's right. You slip into that seat with a smug face, the feeling of accomplishment radiating off you.

You see a blind man turning and turning as if in the widening gyre on the platform, his white cane tapping away on the floor, not sure exactly what happened. The train moves, and he is alone at the platform when another train pulls up behind yours.

A few stops down, you hear the announcement that your train will be stalling for a few minutes when you crane your neck and see the old man in the other train passing you by.

You can push, you can shove but sometimes, you don't go very far.

I am a very happy girl today :D


Went to watch SPEED RACER (finally!) with Uthara just now.


Before I give my long-awaited review I'm gna say smth.


I did smth stupid just now.


I went to the counter to enquire for the RAIN (!) Speed Racer poster and then they said that I have to get 4 tickets before I could get the poster. And I said that anyway you're gna throw the thing away & it's the last day of the show so might as well give it to me right. Then the lady was like, "Ok." I got it and stupidly STOOD THERE with Uthara and the lady came and took the poster AWAY FROM ME!!!!!!!!!!! ): EXPLAINING THAT I DIDN'T PURCHASE 4 TICKETS! ):


So I managed to hold it in my hands for 5 minutes. ):


Anyway.


I'll give it a 4.5/5 stars. WHY?! It's one of the best movies I've ever seen (not being bias there, Jihoon) and I think that Oppa made the right choice to choose that as his debut Hollywood effort. Well done, English improved and yet still as handsome (: Okay back to the point. The script was EXCELLENT, Emile Hirsch and Matthew Fox did better than I had expected, only Christina Ricci's hair was hideous. The little boy was SUPER FUNNY. (esp. when he pointed the middle finger!!) Only the loss of 0.5 stars was due to the CGIs. Not saying the effects sucked but too much isn't good either. Made me dizzy.


On the whole, it's love.








Went to Peggy's house for the piano duet (THURSDAY!) and she thought that my surname was JEONG all along! HAHAHAHAHAH. And she almost died when I told her my surname is SEOW and not yet JEONG. HAHA should see the look on her face man. Priceless.

*

Sometimes I thank God that He found me.

I mean, seriously, if I wasn't a Christian, I would have committed suicide by now. I would still be an insecure, faithless, purposeless and the Iron Lady with shattered glass within.

He has brought me from ashes to who I am today. When I look back, I really think I have changed a lot. I used to be really hot tempered and would throw a tandrum at least once a day, and be really insecure when people do their childish things. Yeah scary. But now I can hold my temper and just give an indifferent attitude to those who deserve it. :/ Yeah, God, I've come a long way but I can go furthur, only with You.

Take me and stretch me just a little more, Lord.

Just a little bit more.

` 1000; - maybe I could run, maybe I could fly to you



This is the 1000th post and it's a whole new breakthrough for my blog (: And this is uber long because 1) I haven't blogged in like forever and 2) I have revelation(s)!

I know I have probably posted this picture before but I'll use this again because I think it's quite apt to what I'm facing right now. Well. Maybe this Adidas poster has already been taken down but it has brought forth its message.

"Give it everything and then get it right back."

Isn't it like our walk with Him? Give Him everything - especially our lives and we get it right back in heaven. Treasures up there are better than what we have on earth. If you're reading this and you're wondering, "What is she talking about?" Well gotta have an un-Thomas attitude man. He saw before he believed. That's not FAITH. And faith is another topic altogether and I don't want to digress. Haha.

"I don't know how I keep going...yeah I do."

That's an attitude I think we should adopt. However we know why we keep going - our destiny in building this awesome house of God, our future to be affluent in the marketplace to influence...everything awe inspiring. I sometimes have this feeling of nua-ness, the kind when you really want to leave church just because. But I just keep on keeping on, and hence the "don't know how I keep going." And yeah I really do.

That said, I'm going to keep on, I'm going to grow, lead, and nuture. Even if I'm just a regular, a team player, a pianist, a model - but I'm gonna be the best regular, the most valuable team player, the best pianist, the best model Yiruma I'm so going to duet with you! Yiruma and Naomi. It sounds so perfect. :D Oh & Jihoon I'm so not going to let you off the hook. I'm gna work all the way with supernatural effort and tell you good news. HEHHEH Imagine Pastor Cho's church with Jihoon.

It'll break through 750 001 man. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

& my mother jokingly said that if Jihoon goes to HOGC it'll be explosive. Sorry mom but I don't think it's Jihoon but I think it's God. I mean, a superstar can go to a church and his fans will follow, but if then fans don't get a revelation or somewhat it'll be of no use.

Well it costs nothing to dream, so I'm going to dream anyway.

Of a dream that's going one way.

*

Pastor talked about faith and confidence.
Be BOLD in any circumstances.

Oh, only small people will dare to attack big people, like Joseph and his brothers.
They tried to destroy his dream but look, he managed to be the governor of Egypt and his brothers all bowed down to him. Is that cool or what.

"Who will contend with me? Let us stand together.
Who is my adversary? Let them come near me.
Surely God will help me
Who is he who will condemn me?
Indeed they will grow old like a garment
And the moth will eat them up." - Isaiah 50:8-9

I hope this is subtle enough, yo.

` 999; - mon amour pour le piano





Her fingers snaked across the ivories as it conjoured up a smattering of notes which sounded like Chopin's Etude in C Minor, Opus 10. "Never forget the Opus," he had said, "They make each and every piece unique."

"Yes, I know." she muttered into the keyboard. She curved her fingers up again, poised them over the keyboard and let loose the same Chopin piece. She injected emotions into every single note - passion, agony, desire - until the piece ended.

"You are not playing well enough! Where's your technique?! This hand isn't good," he yelled as he grabbed her left hand "this one!" He started to beat her repeatedly on the hand. She yanked her hand away and bit him on the arm. He struck her across the face and she flew out of the chair and onto the polished parquet.

She never took piano lessons from him again. She was only 9 years old.

*

I really can't stand people who does not give a crap about piano. I mean, when you learn it you have to have passion for the instrument, or not why did you learn it in the first place? Piano is all about practice and passion. Nothing more. My previous teacher had so much passion for it until he emphasised the Opus.

Every note means something to the composer and you should learn about the nature of the piece, the background and personality of the composer before you learn the piece so you can bring out his emotion, his passion and whatnot for the piece to entrance people to listen to you.
It's not about notes, notes, notes.

And, to a certain someone, PLEASE do turn up for your duet sessions. I'll FLUNK my MEP Practical badly. Maybe you do not care about it but I DO. :/

` 996; - everyone i knew was waiting on a queue




I just realised how long I have not been blogging, because my internet's down and the computer needed to be fixed. So see I have a valid reason in doing so.

School? Don't talk to me about school man. Haha for that record you know when I say that it means school is amazing. And I really mean ama-zinggg. HAHA. Well I know it may have it's downs but hey, this is a training ground, an obstacle course, a place where God tests my patience (God has a wonderful sense of humor) and I know I'll be a patient person when I graduate. (:

I think being internet deprived has it's downfall (? I forgot the word). I keep on having strange dreams.

On Saturday night I dreamt that my dear mother arranged my marriage (in hoGc! Treason!) with a person whom I've never met, 2 years younger than me, shorter than me and he TUCKS HIS SHIRT ALL THE WAY IN. I remember rushing out of the Artiste Room screaming at everyone that I didn't want to take part in this marriage (in my wedding gown too! I remember grabbing Fedora, Darren, Boxue and Wee individually to plead with them to help me) and finally at the altar (wasn't Pastor How who officalised it), I ran off like those Richard Gere runaway bride movies.

:/

The second part of this is quite personal and I won't say it out.

Well I forgot the rest but there was one that made me quite happy (:
