Pray

Dear God,



And I pray

I just can't sleep tonight
Knowing that things ain’t right
It's in the papers, it's on the tv
It's everywhere that I go
Children are crying
Soldiers are dying
Some people don’t have a home

But I know there’s sunshine behind that rain
I know there’s good times behind that pain, hey
Can you tell me how I can make a change

I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray

I lose my appetite, knowing kids starve tonight
Am I a sinner, cause half my dinner
is still left on my plate
Ooo I got a vision, to make a difference
And it's starting today

Cause I know there’s sunshine behind that rain
I know there’s good times behind that pain
Heaven tell me I can make a change

I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and

I pray for the broken-hearted
I pray for the life not started
I pray for all the lungs not breathing
I pray for all the souls in need
I pray, can you give em one today.

I just cant sleep tonight
Can someone tell how to make a change?

I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and I pray...
I pray... I pray...
I close my eyes and pray.

Amen.

Just days after presenting on my Advance English topic "Religion - Prayer in Christianity", I heard this song. Too bad I didn't hear it earlier (and too bad music can't be played while presenting) or I would have this music played in the background while I presented. :D

It isn't common to find such a beautiful English song. Nice tune, check. Meaningful lyrics, check. Touching and emotional song, check. Good voice, check.

About religion, bonus mark.

Unstoppable

Sunday 21/11/10

Galus clan gathering XD. Went to Times Square to watch Unstoppable.

The movie is inspired by true events. Basically, the movie is just about stopping a unman train that is dangerously moving towards cities and threatening to cause major damage. That is the main storyline and there isn't any other significant storyline (although there are smaller ones). So if you don't like trains or railroads, avoid this movie at all costs. Having said that, the story of the movie is quite logical and there isn't much questions that can be raised to question the story.

The action is nice though there isn't much except trying to stop a train. However, there are a few dramatic moments that make it more exciting. As for jokes, the starting till the middle part of the movie will hardly contain any. It's a good thing some laughter can be heard after the middle part of the movie.

Overall its a good movie. Although the storyline is uncommon and somewhat unique, it has nothing really special that will give the audience something to remember.

7.8/10

It's the way you look at it

Miracles do happen.

Thursday
I was really relieved upon reaching home. Handed in the research paper and Malaysian Studies' scrap book. The following day was Deepavali which means no class (yes I do have a class on Fridays :( ). My mood was really great since I had an extra day to rest after suffering over the research paper.

However, as I was wiping my spectacles, the left handle of the frame broke. Omg... what to do... My specs is my life and I don't have any spares. Tried to fix it but failed. The best I could do was use the cellophane tape to tape it together. It was crooked though so the view through it wasn't very focused.

As this happened, I really felt mad. Why must this kind of thing happen, especially when I'm in a good mood? Must a bad thing spoil the good moment?

After cooling down and doing some thinking (critical thinking?), I realized and remembered that every cloud has a silver lining. I had been using this specs frame since Form 3 or 4 if I'm not mistaken. It was bound to get damaged sooner or later. Actually, this was a very good timing. If it broke some days before, I wouldn't have much time to get a new one. I would have to sacrifice the precious time used to do my research paper to go to the spectacles shop. This would have made me rush even more for the research paper. Besides that, if I really couldn't make it, I would have to wear the cacat cellophane tape frame.

So yeah. Thank God it happened at the right time. Went to get a choose a new frame the following day. It only took a few minutes to change the frame since the lenses match the new frame exactly.

Everything happens for a reason. Good or bad, it just depends on the way you look at it. God knows what's best for you. It's little miracles like this that make me believe. Always and forever.

Research paper/Term paper

Yesterday was the due date for my research paper or aka term paper. It's basically a 2000 word essay where it has to be based on other people's idea and opinion instead of my own. So that's why it's called a research paper since I have to search and write based on them. Because of this, there are so many in-text citation to do. It's really hard to paraphrase too; I really hope I don't plagiarize. References is another hard part to do and I think I did many wrong.

This stupid paper made me (and many other students) suffer so much. Sometimes, going up to the top floor of KLCC and jumping off seems like a good plan to me. Haiz... it was such a pain doing this. I spent many nights sleeping past my normal bed time, thus, getting much less sleep, to do this paper. Had to sacrifice youtubeing, facebooking, and dotaing too especially the last week or two before the due date. However, I think I had myself to blame since I procrastinated doing this paper.

My teacher was not an a comfort for me in doing this paper. Her regular demands to see how far we're done in our paper and her scare tactics only piled more pressure for me. The most scary thing about her is her moods. If she's in a bad mood, prepare for a volcano eruption.

It all ended yesterday! Felt so relieved after handing in the paper. Don't care how many mistakes I made, I only cared that it was over!! Well not really... still need do a presentation about it a few weeks time. Aaarrrrrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!

Anyway thanks to all my friends that helped me out. Really appreciated it.
