{July 28, 2009}   Angels On the moon

* This is one of the songs that I really love, awesome lyrics which manages to dig deep into the heart..and I love the title too*

Do you dream, that the world will know your name
So tell me your name
And do you care, about all the little things
or anything at all?

I wanna feel, all the chemicals inside, I wanna feel
I wanna sunburn, just to know that I’m alive
To know I’m alive

Don’t tell me if I’m dying, cause I don’t wanna know
If I can’t see the sun, maybe I should go
Don’t wake me cause I’m dreaming, of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know, never leaves too soon

Do you believe, in the day that you were born
Tell me do you believe
And do you know that every day’s the first
Of the rest of your life

Don’t tell me if I’m dying, cause I don’t wanna know
If I can’t see the sun, maybe I should go
Don’t wake me cause I’m dreaming, of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know, never leaves too soon

This is to one last day in the shadows
And to know a brother’s love
This is to New York City angels
And the rivers of our blood
This is to all of us, to all of us

So don’t tell me if I’m dying, cause I don’t wanna know
If I can’t see the sun, maybe I should go
Don’t wake me cause I’m dreaming, of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know, never leaves too soon

You can tell me all your thoughts, about the stars that fill polluted skies
And show me where you run to, when no one’s left to take your side
But don’t tell me where the road ends, cause I just don’t wanna know, No I don’t wanna know

Don’t tell me if I’m dying
Don’t tell me if I’m dying



 

  It’s really sad to see how the world is at sorrow over the lost of the ‘King of Pop”. When he was alive, the whole world could only think about different ways to bring him down….but as he left, it mourns. Thats the human nature, we NEVER appreciate whats before us till its too darn late.

  I normally find it so difficult to stay up past 2am…without alcohol..heheh. But then, when it came to paying tribute the man that brought life so much of different colours, well, I just had to. I only got a few hours of sleep, but it’s all worth it. I keep replaying and watching coverages on CNN, E! and the net. Yesterday, as I was driving back home, I realized that this dude had a lot of impact on my life.

  I wasn’t really a crazy fan of MJ, I just loved his music, coz I sometimes found his character a little funny. But after his death, a lot of truth was revealed, and I begin cherishing the person that he was. When I was younger, I remember Aunty Lin used to play his songs everytime, thats when I discovered him. I remember watching the “thriller’ videoclip is Grandma n Grandpa’s house and trying to copy some moves..lol. Then I would show it off to Ma when she got back from work. As I grew up, MJ was constantly in my life, well, what you get being born in the 80’s..he was a part of every kid of that era. We listened to his music all the time, I even remember when he was down in Malaysia…I begged to see him..but well, I was too young at that time and the answer was no.

  So, I just had to pay my tribute to him yesterday. I watched the memorial and cried my heart out. It was like loosing my childhood friend. Like it was someone very dear to me in that casket. It took my by surprise when the Jackson bothers wheeled in the casket. It didnt quite see that coming. It was a beautiful ceremony..fit for the KING of HEARTS. I will never forget Usher’s performance and also what Paris had to say about her daddy.

  Finally Michael, u can rest in peace, away from the drama, away for the negativity. God wanted another one of his angel back, may u enjoy ur eternal peace. Hope that one day, I will meet u on the other side. Love you Michael. You’ll always be in my heart…and someday, my kids will also learn about the wonderful legend that walked the face of the earth. There’ll never EVER be anyone like you! Rest in Peace..it’s all over, U’ll live in my heart.



{July 4, 2009}   LNL 09

 

  So, Love and Lofe 09 meetings started today…and I’m the head of Logistics…sigh…ahem-ahem! Not much work, compared to what I had last year, I find myself constantly getting a rush everytime there’s something to do with Music and Liturgy..haih, sedih-sedih! But nevertheles, this year started with a whollllllleeeeeeeeee lot of changes, so lets see what will happen.

  We were given a book to pen down our journey as a faci from today till the day of the camp, and I’m gonna treat that as my journal-my spiritual journey + all the frustrations + all the drama involved in forming me to be a faci for this year.

*Hope this journey is gonna be a good one and makes me a better person*
