I wonder how it must have felt
When David stood to face Goliath on a hill
I imagine that he shook with all his might
Until You took his hand, and held on tight
'Cause You were there, You were there
In the midst of danger's snare
You were there, You were there always
You were there when the hardest fight
Seemed so out of reach
Oh, You were there, You were always there
You were always there
So there he stood upon that hill
Abraham with knife in hand was poised to kill
But God in all His sovereignty had bigger plans
And just in time, You brought a lamb'Cause You were there, You were there
In the midst of the unclear
You were there, You were there always
You were there when obedience
Seemed to not make sense
You were there, You were always there
You were always there
So haven't I learned that my ways
Aren't as high as Yours are
And You alone keep the universe
From crumbling into dust
You are God and though we would
Not have understood You
There You were
Hanging blameless on a cross
You would rather die than leave us in the dark
Every moment, every planned coincidence
Just all makes sense
With Your last breath
You were there, You were there
During history's darkest hour
You were there, You were there always
You were the Victor and the King
You were the power in David's swing
You were the calm in Abraham
You are the God who understands
You are the strength when we have none
You are the living, Holy one
You were, You are and You will always be
the Risen Lamb of God-
'You were there' by Avalon.

went back to dunearn on thurs again.
sneaked in this time using my file to cover the ac badge.
the guard didnt know.hahas.
its very strange...but like.when in dunearn, i just feel so.at home and carefree.
like.you dont have to worry at all abt wad pple think of you and all that
cos you've already made an impression.
so yeah, its a great feeling.
went to visit the band.
and its like.wa.all these guys sec4 already.
see carol peishi and the rest so comfortable leading
see isaac responsibly holding the band room key...
hahas.it was like not long ago i rmb us scolding him abt his lack of punctuality.
yeah and when you see all these juniors all so.grown-up.
its like.wow.really amazing.
saw all the 31 new sec1s.
not bad la.at least the number of guys is increasing.
went to meet my mom at marina square to collect my contacts.
hahas.yeash ive got contacts now.
wore them to band today.
its quite.weird.
the tan lines made by my specs during orientation are still there.
and i have small eyes.yeah.
oh well.get used to it.
learnt the vertical intonation thing.
found out wad a tritone meant.
sectionals was normal.
eugene was sick and lying on the floor.
climbed the back gate.
ate ban mian for lunch.
climbed the back gate.again.
the lt was super cold.
realised that the green lights in the lt were the most spoilt and the red lights were in the best condition.
martin kept laughing abt some semitone thing.
valerie was ultra tired.
dr lee called manfred montfred.

and the hills may come to an end,
but my love will never disappear;
my promise of peace will not come to an end," says the Lord.

school's starting to get fun.
as in.really.
and my group too.
i guess spending the long hours between lectures away with each other helps.
so yup.ac's a good school.
today's section dinner was hilarious.
im too tired to remember wad exactly was so funny, but yeah.
especially at gelare's.
valerie and i laughed like no tomorrow.
anyway.
the phrase: everyone's special is a contradiction.
like.how is EVERYONE,
special?
den in that case, everyone's not that special after all...since everyone's sepcial.
just a
random thought anyway.
hahahahahas. ;)
smiles @ 22:36.
and so the new year starts
back to school...
orientation was so
fun!
school and lectures are so
fun!
whatever.
so yeah.it wasnt really what i expected.
im just hoping that when classes start it'll get better.
i guess being in neighbourhood schools all my life, where pple spoke in chi-eng-singlish and didnt really bother about which school you came from or if you have spectacular results...
so coming to ac was really.overwhelming.
the band pple are okay though.
at least the ones that i know.
so i guess.that gives me a reason to give it a chance.
smiles @ 21:48.
happy 2oo7 people!
came back from malaysia on sat.
im not gonna go into details abt the trip cos frankly, i cant remember it all.
so yeah.we went up to genting...im sorry,
halfway up genting.
it wasnt really that cold.
anyway.spent one day in KL shopping, another day at genting theme park.
im now an absolute rollarcoaster fan.
my bro taught me how to play pool too.
hahas.i got to the black ball first on my first game and beat him on the second.with the help of ben.
still, now i know why bindy can be so enthu abt playing pool.its kinda addictive.
watched high school musical yesterday.
i know its a DISNEY movie, but gosh i love it.thanks alvin. (:
ahhh.school's starting in 2 days!
