so excited for the port dickson trip! would be going with my parent's cell friend, uncle simon & his family. heard that place is uber cool! auntie kit mentioned that there is nice food there, a nice hotel resort & A BEACH! i wanna go on the ski-thingy, bowling, swimming, cycling & play beach volleyball!!! hope we have time to do all those stuff. heading on to malacca after that for just a short stay & maybe shopping then come back.
IWCP is on the next day. hope everything will go on smoothly & many many ppl would come & many many ppl would come to know CHRIST! jinglejingle! (thinks of the kfc advert that makes me giggle all the time...)
SURGE CAMP is coming up!!! WHOOOO! can't wait for a fresh encounter with GOD & loads of FUN! WHEEEE! there's service before that on that day. haha. its gonna be so cool carrying our bags & stuff into the LT! ((:

POOF!

BOO! went for training today. only yuhui, dionne & me from sec 3s. arghh. i thought he scrapped the whole running-of-8-rounds thing cos he started the ladder drill. but NOPE. was uber tired after the run. cant stand the yellow bibs we used for the game cos they were so dusty & raincoat material. which made it EXTRA HOT that isn't really helping the alrdy bad weather. :/ can't believe he told sngying that they were immature. what's wrong with squirting water and using towels to smack each other. i mean, its during break time & it doesn't affect training... our seniors do that too wad. RAH! my contact lens dropped out during the game. & he kept screaming at yuhui & i for not defending well. but we so tired alrdy & the reason that we don't seem to be getting rebounds is cos their shots mostly go in... so are u gonna blame the c div shooters for being good? i told him after the game that my contact lens dropped out & he asked me to go look for it. hello? it would probably be squashed into bits alrdy or maybe stuck under someone's shoe... anyway, we're gonna have friendly match with northland on wed. hope we win ((:
went for tuition after that. xie zuo wen. then went with daddy & sophia to INTERO. so disappointed with the developer and the contracters. can never get things right. first the stupid clear glass issue, then the defects (parquet, marble, toilet, doors, etc...) they are holding up the whole project & we can't move in as planned. RAH!
OOH! i love corner with love! its so funny & nice. HAHA ((: its so random. thanks denise for lending me the HSM3 soundtrack! LOVE IT! esp. the making of the movie! its so nice and nice and nice!!! ((: & yes wenyi and joy, RYAN ROCKS.

Love Story

Love Story
Taylor Swift

We were both young when I first saw you
I closed my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello
Little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said, "stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you, please don't go
And I said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

So, I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

Oh oh
Cause you were Romeo, I was the scarlet letter
And my daddy said, "stay away from Juliet"
But you were my everything to me
I was begging you, please don't go
And I said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

Romeo, save me
They try to tell me how I feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said

Romeo, save me
I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you, but you never come
Is this in my head
I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said

Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad
Go pick out a white dress
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

All About You

All About You
McFly

[Danny:] 
It's all about you 
([Tom:] It's about you) 
It's all about you, baby 
([Tom:] It's all about you) 
It's all about you 
([Tom:] It's about you) 
It's all about you 

[Tom:] 
Yesterday, you asked me something I thought you knew. 
So I told you with a smile 'It's all about you' 
Then you whispered in my ear and you told me to, 
Say 'If you make my life worthwhile, it's all about you' 

[Danny:] 
And I would answer all you're wishes, if you asked me to. 
But if you deny me one of your kisses, don't know what I'd do. 
So hold me close and say three words, like you used to do. 
Dancing on the kitchen tiles, it's all about you. 
Yeah... 

[Solo] 

[Danny & Tom:]

Believe In Me

Believe In Me
Demi Lovato

I'm losing myself
Trying to compete
With everyone else
Instead of just being me
I don't know where to turn
I've been stuck in this routine
I need to change my ways
Instead of always being weak

I don't wanna be afraid
I wanna wake up feeling beautiful
Today
And know that I'm okay
Cause everyone's perfect in unusual
Ways you see
I just wanna believe in me

La la la la, la la la la
The mirror can lie
Doesn't show you what's inside
And it, it can tell you your full of life
It's amazing what you can hide
Just by putting on a smile

I don't wanna be afraid
I wanna wake up feeling beautiful
Today
And know that I'm okay
Cause everyone's perfect in unusual
Ways you see
I just wanna believe in me

I'm quickly finding out
I'm not about to break down... 
Not today
I guess I always knew
That I had all the strength
To make it through

Not gonna be afraid
I'm gonna wake up feeling beautiful
Today
And know that I'm okay
Cause everyone's perfect in unusual
Ways you see
Now, now I believe in me
Now I believe in me

Can I Have This Dance
Gabriella & Troy - High School Musical 3: Senior Year

Take my hand
Take a breath
Pull me close
And take one step
Keep your eyes
Locked on mine
And let the music be your guide.

Won't you promise me (Now won't you promise me)
That you'll never forget (We'll keep dancing)
To keep dancing 
Wherever we go next

It's like catching lightning
The chances of finding someone 
Like you
It's one in a million
The chances of feeling the way 
We do

And with every step together
We just keep on getting better

So can I have this dance? (Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance?

Take my hand
I'll take the lead
And every turn
Will be safe with me

To be afraid
Afraid to fall
You know I'll catch you
Through it all

And you can't keep (even a thousand miles)
Us apart (can keep us apart)
Cause my heart (cause my heart)
Is wherever you are

It's like catching lightning
The chances of finding someone
Like you
It's one in a million
The chances of feeling the way 
We do

And with every step together
We just keep on getting better

So can I have this dance? (Can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance?

Oh,
No mountain's too high enough
Oceans too wide
Cause together or not
Our dance won't stop

Let it rain, let it pour
What we have is worth fighting for
You know I believe 
That we were meant to be,
Yeah,

It's like catching lightning 
The chances of finding someone 
Like you (Like you)
It's one in a million
The chances of feeling the way
We (we do) do

And with every step together
We just keep on getting better

So can I have this dance? (Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance? 

Can I have this dance?
Can I have this dance?
