Haha!

elyssa, rmb this song from class? i didn't noe SI season 1 contestants sang it! haha. it's really funny. the naughty naughty part.

你要的爱

oh boy, im in love with a song. it's old, but i like liking old stuff, then i will feel special cos no one else would be thinking of it while i do. it's penny tai - ni yao de ai. i watched meteor garden last time, but it is only now then i realised the song. haiz, it's soooo nice!

huiqi, here's the i cast all my cares upon you song.

Cast all my Cares Upon You - Kids Praise and Worship

yay! survivor samoa is coming up next week, n im following singapore idol too. i guess i will become reality tv crazy. i will have to pioritize my time lots. or i might have to choose between them. for singapore idol, i render my support to Fathin Amira, MJ and Charlene. haha, nat and i agree that amira can sing! she made us have goosebumps when she sang the auditions. i think MJ is the best looking out of the guys and he can play guitar, so that's a plus. for charlene, i think she is the best looking girl, not sure about her voice, but i think she ploy to garner viewer's sympathy for her mum is not a wise thing to do.

and right, the car won the plane...

Eye on ion (more photos, courtesy of diane) :)

today, prelim's officially over. but it's just the start of the bigger thing. the os. but before thinking about it, my clique decided to go out n have fun first. today, we went orchard, ion orchard area. watched the proposal at shaw house, the we walked around in ion and wheelock. the good thing was that it was such a rare occassion that we go out. okay la, not that rare, we have one out about 2 times this year? the bad thing was that i was suffering from a flu and a little headache, but i still enjoyed myself.

The pics!


at the xin wang hong kong cafe. note, all of us are wearing our clique shirt. so cute right!

Whee

yay, i only have 3 more papers for prelims. which are chem p1, a math p2 and e math p2, and im not scared of them AT ALL! im alr rejoicing for a while, but will get down to serious work soon. o levels.. i dun feel scared of it, in fact im waiting for it to come, so that it will end as quickly.
yesterday, i baked golden oatmeal muffin from a recipe book mum borrowed from the library. it sounds delectable enough, but it was a failure for me. haha, i think the muffin wasn't fully done before i took it out, even though it was pretty much golden. well, it's a good lesson for me to learn, not to have golden muffins but wait for it to turn a little tarnished gold then take out. alright, crabbing here,

today morning, i played tennis with nat for a while, then she felt like she didn't want to play any more, then we started talking about our crushes while waiting for dad to come and play with me. lol, she said that it's normal to have crushes, i think that is true! after that, dad came and we played a competitive game. we drew 5-5 then the sun was up in the sky already and it was torrid, so we decided to leave the game hanging.

plus, i like a new song. it's not new to me, i learnt in school around 3 years ago, but now then i discovered that i like it, thus it is new in a way to me. i like it now cos maybe it's the way the singer sings it.

Christ Alone - Brian Littrell

and yes, it is another song, not the same in Christ alone song i had introduced.

UP

this movie is basically LOL, then sniff sniff, but by large it was rofl. it is soooo funny. plus 3D was interesting. haha, i watched it with mum and da jie. er jie had driving. so sad.

i would really recommend this to someone who needs something to keep his/her mind off from stress, worries, even exams. the surreal plot makes your mind wander, and wonder. do catch it if u can! :)

btw, russel's (the cute lil boy) ethnicity is asian! only asians, i like! :)

In Christ Alone!

i wanna share a fantastic song. how often i forget to depend on Christ. this song is so impactful, the last time i heard it was last year, but when i recently replayed it, it made me feel soooo touched.

In Christ alone - Stuart Townend

In Christ alone my hope is found,

He is my light, my strength, my song;

this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,

firm through the fiercest drought and storm.

What heights of love, what depths of peace,

when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!

My Comforter, my All in All,

here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone! who took on flesh

Fulness of God in helpless babe!

This gift of love and righteousness

Scorned by the ones he came to save:

Till on that cross as Jesus died,

The wrath of God was satisfied -

For every sin on Him was laid;

Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain:

Then bursting forth in glorious Day

Up from the grave he rose again!

And as He stands in victory

Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,

For I am His and He is mine -

Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death,

This is the power of Christ in me;

From life's first cry to final breath.

Jesus commands my destiny.

No power of hell, no scheme of man,

Can ever pluck me from His hand;

Till He returns or calls me home,

Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.

it's so meaningful. i can't seem to have enough of it. :)

You minimus of hindering knotgrass made!

you must be wondering what on earth im saying in the heading, it is a quote from midsummers night dream. shakespear's language's pretty cool. the meaning's actually just a simple 2 words. 'you shortie!' haha, i hope that i can use this on someone in the future, but i have to grow taller before i can do that! oh, but i bet she/he will catch no ball, all the better!

this past week has been the same, study a bit, use com a bit and most importantly, play guitar! however, now's a little different, cos dad sings along with the guitar. heh, i dun usually sing along when i play a song, so dad does the vocals. n boy, he's real good. and cos if his powerful voice, im tempted to sing along too, so i sing.. rare moments in the life of lisa ong! we sing songs ranging from christian tunes to some oldies like tears in heaven and michael learns to rock (my all time FAVOURITE!). playing the guitar (plus singing) helps me lifts my spirits, it's pretty therapeutic for study blues. on tues night, i played guitar for two and a half hours straight! thank God my fingers didn't ache or worse, break! and this activity is so addictive that i usually plan to do it only for 15 mins, then it drags to 30 mins, then soon it will be an hour... that's how i ended up playin two and a half hours long of guitar. ADDICTION, the culprit.

my dad' real happy too, he wants my family to perform for anniversary. LOL. but not bad, he and mom can sing, da jie the keyboardist, er jie the violinist and i the guitarist. the instrumental range is a little weird, but actually, they still combine strangely well enough. btw, my dad wants to do a chinese song. oh horrors! but i just realised, im not going to open my mouth, just strum the guitar, that's it! :)

Mama's birhtday celebration

since im done with chinese listening comprehension exam, i have the time to blog a little. though i dun think i would do really well for o level chinese, however, the process itself helped me to be more interested and passionate about the language. and that's something new for me.

now, to mama's birthday celebration on 17th july! her birthday is in fact on 18th july, same as nat and isaac. anyway, i shall just let the pictures do the talking. :)


before dinner. mama's osteoporosis has really taken its toll on her, she used to be taller than me. :(


dinner at nakorn kitchen ( i almost said chicken.. lol) the food's very flavoursome.



my beloved cousie samuel! he likes to raise his hand while taking pics, for no reason.

again hand raised. i decided to do a fleming. no reason too.

playing happy family. old past time, but it makes u think hard!

samuel was attracted to the exercise trampoline

on the way up!

landed. sheer jubilation. he sure is one active little man.

the marble cake! i helped mum bake the cake, and i did all the decorations, with a little help from samuel. hehe, i realised i do very very complicated decorations. maybe i was trying to use up all the choc. haha.

mama so chio! hair so black, teeth all naturally white. lol, i joked that if one said the above phrase too quickly before thinking, it would be hair so white, teeth naturally black.

ohana (extended).

grandma and her grandkids. er jie not around cos she went night cycling. so naughty.

mama looks so happy, like a queen who has it all!

mama, mum and auntie hannah.
