Dance with my father again
Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around 'til I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved
If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
How I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way, I would run from her to him
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
'Cause I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd hear how my mother cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I'm praying for much too much
But could you send back the only man she loved
I know you don't do it usually
But dear Lord she's dying
To dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream...
I really love songs that tell a story, and this is one of ‘em. Too bad cant put this song online here, but the songwriter probably wrote it to her dad and its really touching J

Why did I wake up so early!!!
Oops its now 625 am exactly on a Sunday morning and Ive been awake since 5 plus sigh. Im gonna feel really sleepy in the day again yikes. Not sure why I can’t sleep either… I think its my back its aching and I cant sleep sobs… urghhhh maybe I should go check out whats wrong mans prob got something to do with my curve spine (I have scerolosis which makes my spine an S-shape blehh) Later theres gonna be a ministry fair in church so will be attending the 832 service for the first time. Initially tot that I wont be able to wake up…well I guess I wont have to worry anymore haha.
Hmmm Hingwah’s into its last few weeks of PDL. We’re now at the second last purpose which is ministry. Have been splitting the cell leading with michelle the past few weeks and it has been going well. The gals are all responsive and v guai and I really like having them in my cell =) My exams are starting next week first paper on thurs…so will be letting mich lead the last 2 ones alone I guess. As I look back over the PDL journey so far I think I’ve learnt some very impt truths and I hope that the gals in my cell have also learnt much and benefited from the teachings.
2 main lessons which I've learnt so far on my PDL journey:
1) Your attitude towards things will determine the extend to which you benefit and learnt from them…
2) Biblical truths can be very simple and straightforward but its how much you apply them that really counts…
I guess I’m always learning to have a more open and positive attitude towards things and i realise that the stress and demands of life will always be there one so its all about being able to take it more lightheartedly haha…
Im starting to feel tired now and its already 650. Suppose to wake up at 715 sigh…kinda stuck nowhere inbetween whahaha… guess ill just go stone somewhere in the house lorz…

Hehe recently have just been reflecting on things and I realize that the word Love seems to be constantly on people’s thoughts. It seems like a day hardly goes by without somebody mentioning some stuff at least remotely related to this ‘L’ word. Be it in movies or real-life, people’s lives seem to be constantly centered around this phenomenon. But one thing remains common…the ‘love’ that human beings claim to be so knowledgeable & experienced in is often shallow and a mere shadow of an even greater love. We love because of a reason. We love because we expect to gain something in return. To put it plainly our love is conditional. But thankfully God’s love is not conditional. Irregardless of my personality, imperfections and weaknesses He loves me just the same and I can be 100% sure that it’ll never change waver or wane. I feel so secured just knowing this and am deeply thankful for His love…His unconditional love.

Wow what a day… today I finished my final presentation on HP. We were the final group of the whole presentation and everyone was getting restless. Moreover we were touching on a really dry and theoretical topic on HP’s supply chain. Well we completed it without any major screw-ups and that is the most important thing haha. I got back two of my individual assignments today. Did very badly for one of the assignments got a C+ sob feel really bad about it mans…demoralized… really got to study hard for the final exams sigh… my other one was still okie but got only a B+ for it. Where are the A’s ???? Boooo….Sometime I feel quite low on self esteem when such grades come back to me esp when my friends got A’s and B’s overall…Anyway I shan’t dwell on what has already happened lah…well today is my last official day of school and the study week has BEGUN… tmr im goin to my club library to study and im gonna make sure that I am productive tmr mans :P

When I watch 7:22 services online I always love their style of worship so much. Probably their skillful playing, awesome voices and songs have a large factor to it. But I guess I just love their down to earth style, no hype no extra ‘actions’ kind haha...Sometimes I watch such praise & worship sessions & I really wish I can be ‘teleported’ over there as well hehe…to be in that place and moment where U are just immersed in God’s presence and singing your hearts out to Him, lifting hands high up to God…not caring what’s going around elsewhere…these moments have been few and rare in recent months. But I really long and wish for them again…I guess it just boils down to how much I desire 4 God’s presence and 4 His touch…I really pray that my heart will never ever turn so cold and indifferent that I don’t even miss His presence…When I feel that God is far away I always remind myself that God never moves away from me, but its I myself that drifts away or draws closer to Him…how much do I really desire for God’s presence again??

Im soooo happy... ive just finished my final practical assessment of the movement class! Been hopping and jumping ard my teeny weeny room over the weekend just to prepare for a 3 min presentation of it yikes... in the process ive managed to kinda chek dio my thigh muscle...somebody say AGAIN..."AGAIN"...sighz...well basically for the assessment we had to choose an object that has a personal story behind it and then dance cum act out the story with or without the object. I chose to act out mine together with a song i burned beforehand. The song was used as an intro to my dance and it helped to get me started as well. To cut the long story short everthing that i prepared went down the drain after 1.5 min into the dance ahha... totally forgot the sequence... and with the tutor shouting out instructions the whole time i simply forgot everything and just went with the FLOW of the MOMENT :( Hais it didnt end too drastically lah... she just told me i had a very bad ending pose thats all.....diaooo....hmmm but i think theres still a ray of light cus she told the class that i had kinda catch on to the whole idea and concept she wanted....that is if anyone did catch it in the 1st place...well nows just to wait and see what kind of grade ill be getting mans muahahaha... All in all im felling real light and happy now... no more chek-dioings...no more melting and rolling...no more pretending to be an ice block :D
Im FREEEeeeeeeeee......!!!!
Oops exams in 2 weeks time....
Love Leanny

This week has passed by in a whirl...have completed my Ben & Jerry's presentation and my tutor was so impressed by it that he offered to be our Final Year project supervisior! Haha its really by God's grace cause I thought there was nothing spectatcular about it all... in fact we had a pretty shaky start...well tomorrow we have a meeting with him to disucss our proposal. He usually takes MBA students only so I feel quite 'hao lian' lah that he chose us heehee
Hope everything will go well and he won't change his mind!
Hmmm lately I've been thinking that I should try to exercise more so as to built up my physical stamina. I feel tired too often and it affects the things i do. Don't think this is normal for a gal my age leh...altho i mus admit im abit aunty-aunty liao hehe. My mum bought 'Yomeishu' for me just now. I hope it works and is not too eeky

Nothing But the Blood
By Matt Redman (Facedown)
VERSE 1:
Your blood speaks a better word
Than all the empty claims
I've heard upon this earth
Speaks righteousness to me
And stands in my defense
Jesus it's Your blood
CHORUS:
What can wash away our sins
What can make us whole again
Nothing but the blood
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can wash as pure as snow
Welcomed as the friends of God
Nothing but Your blood
Nothing but Your blood, King Jesus
VERSE 2:
Your cross testifies in grace
Tells of the Father's heart
To make a way for us
Now boldly we approach
No earthly confidence
It's only by Your blood
