This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital.



It was sent by a medical doctor.




SLOW DANCE



Have you ever watched kids


On a merry-go-round?


Or listened to the rain


Slapping on the ground?


Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?

Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?


You better slow down.


Don't dance so fast.


Time is short.


The music won't last.



Do you run through each day


On the fly?


When you ask How are you?


Do you hear the reply?


When the day is done




Do you lie in your bed


With the next hundred chores


Running through your head?


You'd better slow down


Don't dance so fast.


Time is short.


The music won't last.



Ever told your child,


We'll do it tomorrow?


And in your haste,


Not see his sorrow?


Ever lost touch,


Let a good friendship die


Cause you never had time


To call and say,'Hi'


You'd better slow down.


Don't dance so fast.


Time is short.


The music won't last.


When you run so fast to get somewhere


You miss half the fun of getting there.


When you worry and hurry through your day,


It is like an unopened gift....


Thrown away.


Life is not a race.


Do take it slower


Hear the music


Before the song is over.

It had been a roller coaster ride of emotions this week.

I was having problems in coping with my emotions again, and this started since the week before.

There were a few talks with Ailing. I thank God for such a patient and loving DM (not to mention fierce, or rather fiercely loving =x). Despite her busy schedule, she met me three times in the past 2 weeks.

Also, there are a group of loving brothers and sisters who are ever willing to support and give advice. Wei En, Pei En, Cheng Hung, Ying Qian ... wait a min... which sister? =x Fiana la... wahaha.

Again God has shown me the biggest homework that I need to learn... through all the issues that I had been pondering of... to be clear of my motives, to be self aware, and to see my self-centredness and selfishness.

There were mistakes made, and lessons learnt.

Finally, on this special Easter day, once again I am reminded of the core of my faith and the core of my life.

Current mood : Happy. ;)

Numerous thoughts flood my head.

Haphazardly; out of the blue; confusing.

I have a spltting headache.

Give my brain a break please! Don't torment me.

I need an avenue to release these frustrations.

I can't think straight.

My thoughts are all so disorganised - evident in this post.

I .... need .... to ... think...

Every decision you make is like a small dot in your life. When you thread a line through those dots, it depicts your life. Make every decision wisely, and do not waste time. As the cliche comparison concludes, everyone has 24 hours... How are you using yours...?

songs

2 new songs to share. one my the fusion band called "TRIX". Yes I know, there's a cereal brand that shares the same name... but that's not the point. Their jap style fusion is really nice. hahx. it's a super complicated beat, and their bassist, lead guitarist, keyboardist, and drummer are all equally crazy(technically gifted and the band as a whole is ultimately tight).

The other song is a hillsongs song that I really like.. yep yep.. enjoy !

On Dating & Relationships

If you cannot be contented in singleness, you will not be contented in marriage. Singleness is not something that keeps us from contentment and joy. Rather, it is a trying circumstance in which we are to look in faith to God, submitting in His good and sovereign will, and looking to him for every blessing. But singleness is not the only such trying circumstance. Another is called marriage, as two sinners seek to live in harmony without killing each other.

Phil. $:12-13 " I know how to be brouhgt low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abudance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me."

Contentment only comes from God, and the sooner we start seeking it in Him, the better off we will be. A quote from Martyn Lloyd Jones:

"Man's happiness was never meant to be determined by his circumstances, and that is the fatal blunder that we all tend to make... Man's happiness depends on one thing only --- and that is his relationship to God! ... We cannot get it anywhere else. We must come back to the soul and to God who made it. We were made for him, we are meant for him , we have a correspondence with him, and we will never come to rest until, like that needle on the compass, we strike that northern point, and there we come to rest --- nowhere else."

This is Brooke White... from american idol. A great personality... she's unlike the other people... She's extremely talented and is very sincere with her music. enjoy the song. ; )
