title: i don't know anymore;

when the music fades; and all is stripped away
and i simply come...
longing just to bring, something thats of worth
that will bless your heart
i'll bring you more than a song
for a song in itself
is not what you've required
you search much deeper within
through the way things appear
you're looking into my heart
i'm coming back to the heart of worship
when its all about you
its all about you, jesus
i'm sorry lord for the things i've made it
when its all about you; its all about you jesus

Dear God, please help us to get past this obstacle. God i pray for each and everyone in SNDebate. (especially the u14's team). i pray that you will help us through this trying period, let us hang on and we know that we are doing all these for you. for YOU and YOU ALONE. please give us the courage, wisdom and strength to do it for YOU and bring glory to your name. i pray that you will help us resolve all issues and sorry if we ever forgotten you amidst our busy schedules. i pray all these in jesus' most holy name, amen.

THANK YOU LORD<3

title: THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE

the best day of my life in SN was actually yesterday (lol) but i couldn't blog about it cos of persuasive speech so yeah. it was during debate(one of the bi-weekly srew-ups) and worse, in front of all our juniors. but luckily i was third so that's not that bad. i was so screwed as i really had nothing on my paper when i went into the room and everything started. megan, vet and i against alibabason, way and marthamama. so screwed!(our initial thoughts) but as the debate went on, the sec ones slowly left. that felt really good cos there was so much less pressure. so finally, it was my turn. i rambled on and on about why prop's case was flawed and even crapped out a rebuttal for POI by ali. damn. the stupidest thing ever. ali: "the fact that the parents give birth to the child means that they will care enough to go for the parenting workshops!" i was like: -stone- errrrrrr....... it may be because ........ errrr...... the parents are too busy or do not....... errrrrrrr.......... believe in these workshops." CRAP! oh no. but right after the debate, claire announced: by the way, the debate goes to OPP! i was like, are we prop? oh no, we are OPP!!! so we jumped and shrieked and hugged and almost went crazy. we were overjoyed as that was our very first victory throughout my year in debate. i was so glad when shirley gave me the thumbs up sign. during debrief, claire said the most important phrase that picked me up from the dumps. she said: "sharon lim, your speech... was very good" i was almost bursting. claire had never said something like that to me ever before. the usual ones were: naive; disappointed; bad. but now, it was VERY GOOD! it totally made my day, no my LIFE! and better still, claire shouted to me something about BEST SPEAKER! i was ... what the heck?!?!?!?!?! best speaker?!
it was too much for me. but congrats to megan, vet , martha, ali, way and sweeen(for escaping)!!!!! hahahahaha! 11/04/08 will always be a day i will forever remember:D

title: THANK YOU VERY MUCH<3

geesh, sorry for not updating. well, i am here for a reason. a very important reason. and i've decided to blog when i am especially thankful for some people who have been there constantly for me. when i was down and out, my very worst. they brought out the best in me. although it happened yesterday during debate o.O i still want to express my gratitude and heartfelt thanks.

i knew it was hard for you too, but really, i didn't know why i felt that way and actually i am happy you felt alright already -even though i couldn't accept it. i was really down, and maybe will be down for like the rest of my time in SN but i will keep going strong (at least with your nice talks:)) i really am thankful for you. i guessed god sent you down to help me through this trying period. now, i guess i am having second thoughts about leaving. leaving SN debate. i guess i haven't sorted out my feelings or thoughts but i promise you and SN debate that i will give my best and all no matter what the outcome is. i really hope we can remain friends for the rest of our lives despite the outcome of leaving or not. and if you want to try out too, i won't blame you or whatever cause i've felt that way too and i will instead cheer you on and encourage you to go for it -to go all out for your dream. i really really thank you and i really don't know what would have been of me if you were not there. even though you think we are not really similar, i think we are in similar circumstances but you are the one who can keep going while i am the one with the wavering flame. i am sorry- really am sorry for wanting to leave all of you. after being in different classes, it has been easier to talk to you. so thank you oh so very very much:D
THANK YOU MARTHA<3

on a happier note, or maybe sadder note, let me get back to MATHMATHMATHMATHMATHMATHMATHMATHMATHMATHMATHMATHMATHMATH!
AND HAVE THE MENTAL PREPARATION FOR 5 ROUNDS TOMORROW!!!!!!!
OH NO!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO DEAD. I MAY JUST GET AN ASTHMA ATTACK AND DIE TOMORROW:(
ANYWAYS, THANKS FOR YOUR TIME FOR READING THIS POST EVEN THOUGH ITS A VERY RANDOM ONE AND REMEMBER: GOD LOVES YOU!<3
