Everyone needs compassion
Love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Saviour
The hope of nations
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender
Shine your light in
Let the whole world see
We're singing, for the glory
Of the risen King
Jesus, Shine your light in
Let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory
Of the risen king

I think I'm losing steam with regards to my blogging.
*alarm bells go off*
Haven't felt like blogging in ages and currently, I merely update for the sake of keeping this blog marginally alive. With school starting again soon, I'm not sure if I'll blog as often anymore. Well, I'll see how it goes.
I got back from Hong Kong at 2am on the 28th. Unfortunately, HK wasn't as exciting as I expected. I must say, I didn't thoroughly enjoy the trip, although there were moments I truly felt as though I was on a relaxing vacation. To those who are considering going on a HK holiday, allow me to caution you: retail therapy in HK is completely implausible. Actually, I feel it stresses you out more and is a rather harrowing experience. I felt so nauseated and claustophobic walking around the shops, especially at Mongkok's Ladies' Street- the HK version of Singapore's "pasar malam" or night market.
On the bright side, I enjoyed two of the six days we were there- the day we had a barbeque in the mountains at Sai Kung, after which we took a 2-hour plus hike, and when we visited Ocean Park. I queued the longest queue of my entire life, and I think, for the rest of my life, for the park's newest ride- the Mine Train. My aunt, bro and I queued for about 2 hours just for that ride! The other more popular rides like the Viking were almost as bad. But all the time we spent queueing was worth it in the end because the top three rides- the Mine Train (it has 3 heart-stoppping drops! whoohoo!!), the Viking and the Abyss Turbo Drop, were so exhilarating.
I love thrilling rides. The scarier, the better. Some people would ask- why pay the money to scare yourself? But for me, the thrill and excitement of a vertical drop or a centrifugal spin are what I crave. I'll usually try all the most challenging rides in whatever theme park I go to.
I admit, it's dreadfully frightening sometimes, but at least I've got the guts to give it a try, although sometimes I get so scared when I'm finally on the ride that I instantly regret my impulsivity. BUT I'll always go off after that seeking a greater challenge because they're never as bad as I imagined it to be. I love what gravity does to you and the adrenalin rush of such rides. (:
School's starting soon (and I hear the groans of students all over Singapore) but I have to face the inevitable. As much as I dread it, there is this little bit of excitement of going to a new school. I don't know what this year would yield for me but I'm just going to trust God.
I will be still, know You are God.
