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

ARGH. I need my Ouran fix! But I can't bear to watch the raw. I shall have to persevere.
Anyway. Today nothing much happened. Vivian and Wan Zheng were talking to my Chemistry teacher, and I cut in. We found out she had scored As for every subject in her 'O' Levels except Chemistry. But she still became a chemist and then she went on to teach. She said if you have a passion, it's okay if you're not good at it.
I don't really believe it, but I buy it. It's a comforting and inspiring thought, because my English Literature is lousy and my English always falters, especially for comprehension. So it's okay if I don't do well, because I have a passion. YAY.
Skipping on to the topic. Today I was thinking about
languages. In Singapore, we have two reigning languages, namely English and Chinese. So I was wondering which one was easier(of course English is, to me) but then I realised Chinese with its weird characters with specific ways of pronounciations and English with its past, present, perfect tenses and what not are both intensely difficult. You have to keep reading and reading and reading to get it well-developed.
Languages are very unfun because you can't memorise anything except good phrases like 'fluffy white clouds dotting the sky' or whatever that opening sentence is. Read read and read.
Languages are evil.
But they are how people communicate with what they have: sound. Vocal chords and ear bones and vibrations and sound waves.
Yeah. I'm learning sound in Physics now.
Oh well. I'm off to eat my lovely Korean noodles!
Til next time!
