and as she walks
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
I am Yours

I was living and breathing sometime around yesterday, minding my own business, when I was enlightened by a
startling revelation.
Blogs are
online diaries. As in,
diaries. Which means I'm supposed to be listing down events of each day instead of ranting about what I
think.
I knew there was something important I had to do on this thing.
So then, if it interests you, I invite you to read about my day:
I woke up and proceeded to prepare for school. After which I went to school, met my neighbour at the lift lobby and rode my mom's car to school together with my brother. First period was Chinese, in which we did nothing meaningful. Then we went to P.E., where the fun starts.
A sec 3 senior represented her class' girls to challenge our class' girls to Captain's Ball. After a bit of a hoo-ha, we gathered 13 girls of our class to participate. I opted to cheer at the sidelines. And believe me, I
really cheered. I was absolutely hyper, screaming my lungs out and clapping my hands and dancing. I feel slightly embarrassed when I think about it now, but it was worth every second. I reason that I felt out of place if I wasn't sweating it out like the rest of my friends so I channelled my energy to jumping and yelling. Afterwards I joined them and played Captain, catching two balls! WHOO.
So in a way, going crazy and supporting for my friends is like a mode for me. For when I don't mind if everyone thinks I'm making a fool of myself because at that time, I really couldn't care less.
And anyway, we won. HA.
Received the rest of my common test results today. I didn't fail anything, but I certainly could have done better. I suppose the recent NDP affected me a little, but oh well. But dear Yea Wen still got FULL MARKS in her maths paper. Whoa and Gr.
Then something BIG happened today. A wonderful close friend of mine accidentally did something wrong. I didn't think it was a big deal, but apparently my standards of 'wrong' has stretched with the world. Sigh. Anyway, this sweet pal of mine took the blame and went to confess. I'm really, really proud of her. It sounds weird, but it's adorable that she firmly faced up to her mistake. She was reprimanded and I don't know what's going to happen, but I'm going to stand right by her. I hope I don't do anything stupid, though.
This incident reminded me that people are still people. And it's the hard times that break us and show us how much we are really human. Really, it is really, really, really beautiful.
Actually, I have this kind of group, of seven friends, and we call our group (corny, but cute) Clique 8. We hang out together and spend most of our sec 2 life together, so we're pretty close. We always celebrate each other's birthday with little surprises. Last time, we celebrated Yea Wen's birthday by blindfolding her in the lift and leading her to K-box. Ha.
But because we formed our 'clique' around February 2006, we missed out Lim Yanting's birthday. So on Wednesday, while buying art materials, Yanting commented she would like a black book, with black pages and all, and we bought one behind her back, complete with a white pen. We hid it in her locker today, and she didn't say a word! YANTING! ARE YOU BLIND?!
But we still love her. So it doesn't matter. ;)
Talking about art, we FINALLY finished our lantern today. It looks weird and naked, but better than the old one. Much better.
I seriously need a new blogskin. I need more text space! Or I have to keep scrolling down. Gr. But I realise this black and white theme is quite popular. Oh well. I still like it. Waiting in anticipation for Yvonne's creation!
Did you live for others today? And served them for their happiness and not your own because you want to be like them?
I don't know if I did. Maybe one day I will.
Thinking is good. Thinking rocks.
I shall go force out the rest of Goosechase now.
Til my next day.
