*.* Will you listen to the voice of truth ? *.*

Voice of truth - Casting Crowns

Oh,what I would do to have
the kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown
Where Jesus is,
And he's holding out his hand

But the waves are calling out my name
and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
time and time again
"Boy, you'll never win,
you'll never win."

But the Voice of truth tells me a different story
the Voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
and the Voice of truth says "this is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of truth

Oh, what I would do
to have the kind of strength it takes
To stand before a giant
with just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound
of a thousand warriors
shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out
my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
time and time again
"Boy you'll never win,
you'll never win."

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
the Voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
and the Voice of truth says "this is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to meI
will choose to listen and believe the Voice of truth

But the stone was just the right size
to put the giant on the ground
and the waves they don't seem so highf
rom on top of them looking down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
when I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
singing over me

But the Voice of truth tells me a different story
The Voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of truth says "this is for my glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me (calling out to me)
I will choose to listen and believe (I will choose to listen and believe)I
will choose to listen and believe the Voice of truth

I will listen and believe
I will listen and believe the Voice of truth
I will listen and believe
'Cause Jesus you are the Voice of truth
And I will listen to you.. oh you are the Voice of truth

"A song that inspires and motivates me to move on...especially at these hard times..."

*.* If ..only *.*

"If only I was born in America, where everyone speaks and writes English, I would not have a hard time writing it. "

Well, it is impossible for me to be born again. The "if..only" condition is just one way for me to express my regrets. I don't really like to use the word "if ..only" as it makes me sound as if I am utterly pathetic.

I was rather upset...No, I should say that I was resented of my language efficiency ever since the beginning of my school term. I assumed that "Uni" life should be a fun and exciting journey for me to look forward to (since I am taking a course that I liked) until I started to attend the classes. It's not the lesson taught in class that piss me off but the overwhelming assignments that worn me out. The assignments look more like a "Q&A" session written in essay form and we are given approximately two and a half weeks to complete the assignments. To meet the deadline and to come out with at least 2000 words is already a big headache for me. What make it worst was the weightage for language proficiency. Fyi, Language has been my biggest weak point for the past 20 years of my education. Even till now, I struggle writing a proper sentence with correct tenses and punctuation. I recalled this morning when I was trying to do a write up at work and I spend more than half an hour just to amend my sentences. To my horror, I only managed to write four sentences within half an hour. I have spend more than half an hour editing and re-editing my sentences. What an amusement !

Situation like this do make me ponder, "Where is my linguistic intelligent ?"
I guess, I should even ask myself , "Do I even have such intelligent ? "

I think I should be "immune" with my "Broken English". Afterall, it was not as if I have not put in effort to brush up my English. I remember those times I force myself to watch English program, to listen to english radio station and to do many revisions and practices from assessment books. I always believe that with that much effort I put in, I should, at least, be able to speak or write well and perhaps, I would even love English languages eventually. I did not expect that these effort to have gone down the drain.

I recounted a visit to a salon and one of the hairstylist ever told me this - "To be a hairstylist, you need to have interest in it. This interest will motivate you to practice and work hard for it. However, do note that hard work does not guarantee you to become a hairstylist unless you are gifted or have the talent in it. "

This words though sounded discouraging, they do make sense. Hard work reminds me of Rock Lee in Naruto. Unlike Naruto and Sasuke who have gifted power, Rock lee has no gift or talent which cause him to work extra hard just to become a true Ninja. Eventually, he become a Ninja, but due to his limited power, he was not able to defend the others and once, he got himself wounded badly in a battle that nearly cause him to be paralysed.

Does this means that gifting is better than hardwork ?
I am not sure...Perhaps.. I hope God can prove me wrong...

ps: I spent nearly one and a half hour writting this...again..I can't believe it...

*.* Flying with balloons ??? *.*

I always enjoy movies from Walt Disney and DreamWorks. They have amazing 3D effects and mostly importantly, a great story plot that never failed to make you reflect about it. Same goes to this move- UP. A rather romantic story that begins with an old man fulfilling a promise made with her belated wife. It’s also a creative story when you cannot imagine how thousand of balloons can actually make a house float up in the sky and to travel oversea. (How I wish I can have hundreds of balloons that will fly me to Japan or Korea for holiday. LOL). There were some heartwarming sections (the adventure diary)in this movie and some comical ones which I believe yizi and cai yun love the most..(rem the sexy dog's voice LOL). This movie didn't catch my attention when their trailer and advertisment was displayed on public. But eventually after watching the movie, I hope to go into the theatre to watch it again... 4 thumbs up for this movie.
