Forever And Ever Amen

You may think that i'm talking foolish
You've heard that i'm wild & i'm free
You may wonder how i can promise you now
This love that i'm feeling for you always will be
You're not this time that i'm killing
I'm no longer one of those guys
As sure as i live this love that i give
Is gonna be yours till the day that i die -- oh baby

I'm gonna love you forever, forever & ever amen
As long as old men sit & talk about the weather
As long as old women sit & talk about old men
If you wonder how long i'll be faithfull
I'll be happy to tell you again
I'm gonna love you forever & ever, forever & ever amen

They say that time takes it's toll on a body
Makes the young girls brown hair turn grey
But honey, i don't care, i'm not in love with your hair
And if it all fell out well i'd love you anyway
They say that time can play tricks on a memory
And people forget things that they knew
But it's easy to see it's happening to me
I've already forgotten every woman but you --- oh baby

Just listen to how this song ends
I'm gonna love you forever & ever forever & ever
Forever & ever forever & ever amen

SpeechlesS

One cold and breezy night,
Appeared an angel infront of me,
Looking just like you,
With a smile as sweet as ever,
Making me a promise,
A promise from the bottom of her heart,
Saying.....I am here for you.

Dani California

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Speechless

I looked in her eyes,
Saw how sweet and loving she was,
Admiring her from a distance,
A distance never seem to be near,
Always having her in my thoughts,
Flashing like a light in my mind,
Knew she was the one for me,
Not knowing god's plan for me,
All that i know,
She will be there for me.

Novena Procession / Youth Rally 08

Last Sunday and yesterday we had ours Lady's procession and the youth rally just yesterday. The atmosphere was great and there were hundreds of people gathered to pay respect to our blessed mother whos birthday was yesterday. The service started at 6pm with a rosary followed by a mass. The weather was great for both days.The following day 11 of us went for the youth rally and fr Simon p and fr Jo both from the redemptorist were having talks on the topic 'Jesus our Hope' which was very interesting. We had the exposure of the blessed sacrament as well. I was amazed to see so many youths around even though its the exam week thought out most schools. Our Lady have always been there for us and always interceding for us in every needs. We thank god for giving us a lovely mother.

Blue Magic

I hear your favorite music on the jukebox
And right away i know that you are here
You always pick a time
Just when i think my mind is clear you reappear
And once again you've got me in your power
This time i hope it's not a brief romance
'cause it's too late to run
You've got me thinking one slow dance is worth a chance

Then that old blue magic still works like a charm
As if you never even left these aching arms
You put a spell on me i guess i'll always be hypnotized
By that blue magic in your eyes

Though i should run and hide from this illusion
Your smile is so much quicker than my pride
There's something up your sleeve
That makes my heart believe inside
This carpet ride might lift us up and fly us to forever
But up 'til now its all been slight of hand
I've got to face the fact one look and
I'm right back at your command

'cause that old blue magic still works like a charm
As if you never even left these aching arms
You put a spell on me i guess i'll always be hypnotized
By that blue magic in your eyes

Yes, you put a spell on me i guess i'll always be hypnotized
By that blue magic.. that old blue magic... that blue magic in
your eyes

Sisters Island.

Last week on national day, a group of us went to sisters island for camping and what a great experience it was. Its a very lovely place and quiet as well. Had a little tracking and was in the water and playing with fire most of the time. We were able to see the paratroopers from far and the black knights in action and missed the fireworks. In a blink of second it was Sunday and it was time to go home. Miss the island and enjoyed myself.

How Great Thou Art.

Oh Lord my God
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works
Thy hands have made
I see the stars
I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout
The universe displayed

Then sings my soul
My Saviour, God, to Thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
Then sings my soul
My Saviour, God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art

When Christ shall come
With shouts of acclamation
And take me home
What joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow
In humble adoration
And there proclaim My God
How great Thou art

Then sings my soul
My Saviour, God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul
My Saviour, God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art

How great Thou art
How great Thou art...

A song which always goes through my mind if i am lost .

Song

Well listen dear i think it's clear
We need to sit and talk
Seems you've got this notion i've been having second thoughts
Well i must confess in a way i guess that silly
notion's true
'cause every second you're not here i think of
you

Every second, every minute, every hour of
every day
Every second there's a thought of you that
comes my way
So if you ask that i've had second thoughts i'd
have to say
Every second, every minute, every hour of
every day.

Now i propose we drink a toast and turn the
lights down low
Put our favoritie music on and hold each other
close
Don't worry dear you'll always be here in my
heart to stay
Every second, every minute, every hour of
every day

Every second, every minute, love you more
and more each day

Every Second by - Collin Raye

Corpus Christi

Yesterday was the feast of the Corpus Christi(Body and Blood of Christ),which is also the feast of the knights of the holy Eucharist. Well there was nothing special and it seems that everyone have forgotten that it is our feast day. Happy Feast day to all.

SentosA

Yeah, last week 9th 10th and the 11th of may, the group of us went for the sentosa huts again... it was great fun. Like to thank uncle jerry, betcy, marks parents for the joining and and getting for us the BBQ food. Had a wonderful time as sentosa like how it always use to be. Saturday morning caitlin joined us and she was very cute playing in the children's pool. Like to thank auds and aaron for booking the chalet.

11 years serving

My 11 years serving at the altar comes to an end today, I knew something like this is going to happen but was i ready for this day. Well its a no, i was not prepared and i did not see it coming so soon.. I was broken down, n being sacked as an altar server and also there were no proper reasons why am i sacked. All my life as an altar server was the best thing i can have ever asked for. Its everything that i wanted and its where i did belong. Went thick and thin together, good times and bad times, sharing happy moments and sad moments, basically its a family to me. Coming to know that i will never wear an cassock again is a nightmare. Would love to serve just 1 last mass if its possible. Being in the servers, we had to sacrifice our time and we all did it willingly and just loved being in church and around the boys.

From a 9 years old boy to a 20 years old guy, the servers taught me alot of things, i have been a Secretariat of the altar servers and had a wonderful time spend with the leaders and boys. Enjoyed Wednesday night meetings even thought it can be tough for some but we all came through together and it have been 1 for all and all for 1. Years went by and a group of old adults who call them self (PSG) came and took over the servers with the help of fr Johnson. They thought they could do a very good job compared to the badge of leaders who were working hard alongside the president and vice president at that time. They could not even bond with the boys. No boys for meeting and attendance for masses got worse. Its a society for young servers to grow together with their fellow servers and here u see the PSG coming and ordering us what to do and what not to. Its funny how you think adults came and think they are doing a better job than the boys. To me they were just a bunch of idiots who are power crazy. It does not matter to me if you hold a position or just being a server. What did matter alot is they screwed up every single thing that was going on the the altar servers and they are so happy that they are doing a really good job. I would blame them and the one who deserved to be blamed for every single thing will be fr Johnson, he's a liar, not a man of his word and of all the worst priest that i have ever seen in my life. PSG and Jonny u all can go and Fuck off.

I don't know what example they set for the boys but i am sure they do know that they cant run a group by them self and priest who are suppose to be role models are worse behaved than the PSG. I really hope that you all visit my bog and know what you all are doing is fucking screwed up. No balls to say that we did a good job and you all are not and Johnson himself have no balls and have a proper reason to sack us.

The remaining boys who are left, hope they would carry on serving and understand the full meaning of serving and do realise that they are serving for god and NO ONE ELSE. It was not long before that i really treasured my cassock. We will be there for the boys if they need help but its up to them if they want to carry on serving. For the older ones we can attend mass together and do what we always do.

For fr Johnson, I am not a fucking gay and i don't need a gal friend now to come for mass. I have my own dignity and that got nothing to do from serving mass. Ones again IT WAS YOU who stopped me from serving. It was your fucking decision. For the PSG and Fr Johnson you all have done what you all wanted and have accomplished on getting rid on the older boys.

If even i am called to a vocation to join the priesthood, you fr Johnson is sure to be a very good example and role model as i know there can be no one worse than u. Last but not least i am very upset and i really don't know what to do, but expected it was coming. Thanks Jonny.

If ever PSG or Father Johnson reads my blog, just fuck off from it. I am angry with a smile on my face fuckers.

Yet another Party

Yes last week we were at pasir ris beach ones again to celebrate edwards 35th birthday. We all had great fun and enjoyed ourself even thought i came very late after work. The BBQ was great. There are still alot of things to be said but i shall not get in detail, those who were there knew what happened. Thank you all for your help keeping me awake and staying up very late. I am really very touched by all of you :)

School.

Yes i am back at school and its a new term of a second year. I seem to be enjoying school and there are lotsa projects coming up. 1 week of school have passed and thats pretty fast thou. Looking forward to labour day and of cos sentosa again!

Bomb It

Yes yes here i am again, and this time at the national museum. It's the Singapore film festival and afew of us catched the movie BOMB IT. Yes its all about graffiti and how this artist started out in graffiti and how dangerous it can be as well. I never realise that i would enjoy myself so much. Its a worth watching movie. If i am to think about graffiti i would say just another form of art by some unknown talent :)

A Poem

The Final Inspection

The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges
can't always be a saint.

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.

There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

Holy Week.

I have nothing to say about holy week this year at all. It have its up's and down's. Not serving any holy week mass is the first thing that hit me very badly in my whole server's life, followed by on holy Thursday having a few problems with the priest and not having boys for adoration for the first time. The older boys who stayed around church just did their own adoration. at about 11:30pm Edward came to the main church and told me lets say rosary together. We gathered about 15 boys together and said the rosary. What a great feeling we had saying the rosary together and after that we left for home walking afew home before me and Ian got home.

On good Friday it was just like holy Thursday not serving any services and just attending the 10am service for the first time, and after that we went to safra with the older ones to bowl. Had great fun but it did not felt like good Friday. Went to mark's place after bowl-ing awhile and head back home. Came back to church around 6pm to help aunty Bessie with the candles for the stations of the cross and mark came to meet us and we left to Mel's place. Had supper there and a very good time there. Headed back home at 2am. It was the first good Friday where we actually got the time to go and bowl and to go out in the evening.

Easter Vigil, a Saturday morning went to church in the morning to help my dad with the willing hands. It was alot of work to be done but there was fr Bosco and fr Tim to help us out.. Moving the fond out to where it suppose to be. Placing the red carpet around the located area's as well. At around 12pm i left to home and had a short nap before i was ready to get changed and go to church for dinner before the vigil celebration. We occupied 2 row's of seats with the boys who were not serving and attended the 3hour long vigil mass together. Edward came to church around 9pm and we headed over to his house for coffee and went back home. Easter Sunday was just like all normal Sunday masses..went to serve the 8am service and had breakfast together and awhile went back home.

I was not myself during this days and it was very disturbing indeed, but have no choice but to pull this off and go with what it is. Even though did not serve any mass,services and adoration's the rosary we had, the fun we had at Mel's place and at Edward's place was great. Would like to thank everyone who was there for the vigil mass and for the rosary on holy Thursday. Have a Blessed and a Holy Easter and do stay strong.

Passion (Palm) Sunday

This weekend is palm Sunday and its just a week away from the great feast Easter. Cant imagine how busy, fun, tiring it used to be on holy weeks. Its just afew days away from holy Thursday and good Friday and could remember the times when we are all in church practicing from Monday to Wednesday night. Things have changed alot and i mean alot. That does not mean everything is over. It can still happen. We can serve adoration together even if there is no rosters, hang out on good Friday in church together as we always do and if we are not able to serve Easter vigil than we will all attend the vigil together as well. We are still united as a family and we can achieve our goals not very soon but in years to come. This is the best month to be on holidays as its holy week but somehow the feeling is just too different. After all its a silent holy week anyway...........................

This is My blood, the blood of the covenant, to be poured out in behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins.'Mt 26:28

Holidays n a Concert.

Yes here we are in the month of march where i am on holidays ones again. Have finished my maths exam and it was pretty good. Now i am on a long holidays till April 14Th but i am sure days would pass fast, so i got to do what i want to do till my school starts. Yesterday evening afew of us went to the esplanade to watch jools holland in concert as it was the mosaic music festival. It was a great concert and it was my first ever concert and it was great music. It was outstanding. My favourite part of the whole concert would be the drummer when he goes solo, he's old and he plays the drum as if he's just 25 years old. Simply awesome. Overall it was great music, great fun and what a way to kick start my holidays.

March

Yes its the month of march and i am busy this week as my exam is on the 10th of march. The good news is of cos holidays are around the conor and days really fly fast. It just seem like new year's just ended. Exams n Holidays here i come.

Holy Mother.

This is a beautiful song which i have been listening to for the past weeks and i would like to share it with you all.

Holy mother, where are you?
Tonight i feel broken in two.
I've seen the stars fall from the sky.
Holy mother, can't keep from crying.

Oh i need your help this time,
Get me through this lonely night.
Tell me please which way to turn
To find myself again.

Holy mother, hear my prayer,
Somehow i know you're still there.
Send me please some peace of mind;
Take away this pain.

I can't wait, i can't wait, i can't wait any longer.
I can't wait, i can't wait, i can't wait for you.

Holy mother, hear my cry,
I've cursed your name a thousand times.
I've felt the anger running through my soul;
All i need is a hand to hold.

Oh i feel the end has come,
No longer my legs will run.
You know i would rather be
In your arms tonight.

When my hands no longer play,
My voice is still, i fade away.
Holy mother, then i'll be
Lying in, safe within your arms.
