My favourite season is coming :)

ITS COMING ITS COMING!! CHRISTMAS IS COMING!! =)

My favourite time of the WHOLEEEEEEE year. Christmas! I actually sometimes like it better than my own birthday....hahaha

Love the songs, the caroling, the gift buying, the gift wrapping (which usually last until the wee hours of the morning on Christmas day), the gift unwrapping...hehehe =)

But most of all...the peace and joy that surrounds the celebration of the birth of Christ. I think its most aptly illustrated with this song:

Oh Holy Night

Oh holy night! The stars are brightly shining It is the night of the dear Savior's birth! Long lay the world in sin and error pining Till he appear'd and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!

Fall on your knees Oh hear the angel voices Oh night divine Oh night when Christ was born Oh night divine Oh night divine Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming Here come the wise men from Orient land The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger In all our trials born to be our friend. Truly He taught us to love one another His law is love and His gospel is peace Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother And in His name all oppression shall cease Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, Let all within us praise His holy name

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!! May it be a season of hope, joy and love. May God bless everyone of you. And pray that you will let Jesus's love and sacrifice fill your hearts!

feeling lost

this whole week has been spent hibernating at home. And I realise that humans are not meant to hibernate. God never made us to hibernate. I felt worse after the week of hibernation. I thought that I just needed to get away from everyone, everything... but somehow nothing goes away and more more just builds up. I think that's how ppl get into depression.

I have decided that enough is enough, i am not gonna be sucked into depression. I have the ultimate solution. I'm going for RETAIL THERAPY!!

Hahaha....no problem too big that some good shopping, good food and good company won't heal. Really, God made friends to make all things bearable.

A Love That Will Last

I want a little something more Don't want the middle or the one before I don't desire a complicated past I want a love that would last

Say that you love me Say i'm the one Don't kiss and hug me and then try to run

I don't do drama My tears dun fall fast I want a love that would last

I don't want just a memory Give me forever Don't even think about saying goodbye

Cos i just want one love to be enough and remain in my heart till i die

So, call me romantic I guess that's so There's something more that you outta know I'll never leave you So don't even ask,

I want a love that would last, Forever, I want a love that would last

I don't want just a memory Give me forever Don't even think about saying goodbye Cos I just want one love to be enough and remain in my heart till I die

So there's just a little more that i need I want a share of the air that you breath

I'm not that kind of girl to complicate the past I want a love that would last Forever I want a love that would last Always I just want a love that would last

I want a love that would last
