point of difference

was it too much to ask for? i presumed it was...
now or you can say that it has come to let it go!

a feeling so strong, one to hang it on.
Buckle them up to see them go.
Watch how they fly up to the rings,
its to let it go.

Alright, came up with that short nonsensical thingy but heh...that is not the way i write songs man...

to let it go...reminds me of one of Switchfoot songs...daisy!

Daisy - Switchfoot

DAISY
daisy, give yourself away
look up at the rain
the beautiful display
of power and surrender
giving us today
when you yourself away

rain, another rainy day
it comes up from the ocean
to give herself away
she comes down even
and all of us the same name
when you give yourself away

let it go
daisy let it go
open up your fists
this fallen world
doesn't hold your interest
doesn't hold your soul
daisy let it go

pain, give yourself a name
call yourself contrition
aberits of fame
giving isn't easy
if anybody'd like to say
if you give yourself away

daisy, why another day
why another sunrise
who's gonna take the blame
for our redemptive motion
and every rainy day
when he gives himself away

let it go
daisy let it go
open your fists
this fallen world
it doesn't hold your interest
it doesn't hold your soul
daisy let it go




its gone and life moves on...

THIS IS OUR GOD!




On the evening of Sunday, March 9th 2008, thousands of worshippers gathered to fill the Acer Arena in Sydney as Hillsong Church recorded their latest live worship album.

It was an unforgettable night. An encounter with God that left the thousands who filled the stadium humbled and in awe of the wonder and grace of God and the reality of Christ.

We come together and we say, "This is who we are, God. We need
You, we love You, and we're going to give everything to You.
It's actually about the church coming together and singing with One Voice, One Passion, One Heart, giving all our praise to God" Said Joel Houston.

The church was truly united in heart and passion - and the breadth of the hillsong worship team was reflected as a number of new songwriters, worship leaders and musicians joined Darlene Zschech , Reuben Morgan, Joel Houston and Marty Sampson on the platform to capture the sound of the generations old and new together in worship and song.

It was a night of unified faith and expectancy, with moments all will never forget such as when Michael Gugliemucci, who has battled his own health crisis against cancer for two years, walked confidently on stage, oxygen tank in hand, declaring the promise of God and boldly
Singing the words to his song 'Healer'.

The evening culminated with a loud and victorious declaration of, 'With Everything' and a holy moment that all who experienced will remember. As the band left the stage and the name of Jesus on display, the people were not ready to leave and with little accompaniment, they broke into spontaneous song and continued to worship God.

The new album titled 'This is Our God', the 17th live praise and worship album, will be released in July, coinciding with the annual Hillsong Conference held at the Acer Arena

CHAPELTHON

an awesome encounter with the presence of GOD! =D

the bands, the sermons, the prayers, the friends,the praise, the worship...to worship the king of kings.
It kept on going a level and another higher level and then another higher level. great encounter with GOD! God moved mightily through the segments of the programme. Youthphoria was up first and Ben Ooi got it kicked off, he started the mood and it got better and better! PROMISES!! then it was our turn, amazingly led by Caleb. i just could feel the presence of the lord moving around the hall...people getting touched! lastly was the ex-fairsians band, Joash band, strong presence! worship with the roaring of the crowd, all worshipping GOD!

much practice was placed in it but that did not matter but it was how the heart is. God looks at the heart my friends...
CHAPLTHON tested our faiths and encouraged all of us to know that our GOD LIVES FOREVER! OHHHHHHHH...HAPPY DAYS!!!!

HEALER! by his stripes, we are healed!



HAPPY DAYS



PROMISES

FUNFAIR IS TOMOROW!

Gonna perform with Caleb, ZJ, Jim, Hannah, Mag, Nat, Myra and Mr B. Tan! Yupp...he can sing man! although it took time for him to learn up the proper tune....

today wwas also the recovery of my guitar after a slight ding when the strap attachment pop-ed out and it was shocking...scary especially something precious, something valuable to you gets into some little missy trouble...but what change my mindset is what MR ooi told me, its not about how it looks, ita about how you are going to serve God. I caught that instantly and thats when i decided to not care about anymore on how the guitar looks, but focused on how i am gonna use my talents to serve GOD! as a matter of fact, since its fixed, i'm happy too...
i have a safe ensured stamp chopped that it wont popped out after Mr Ooi took a look at it and resolved the problem...a friend, a helper, a teacher, one great FRIEND!


alright back to funfair, finally sponsors responded man after so much emails went out and no one replied only 2 coming in to accept 2 days before the Funfair and wow! we got it! after so much time! so its a guarantee we have good prizes installed for all of your to come and play!!!!!!
