Love Never Dies

The principal characters of The Phantom of the Opera continue their stories in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s LOVE NEVER DIES. Ten years after the mysterious disappearance of The Phantom from the Paris Opera House, Christine Daaé accepts an offer to come to America and perform at New York’s fabulous new playground of the world – Coney Island.
Arriving in New York with her husband Raoul and their son Gustave, Christine soon discovers the identity of the anonymous impresario who has lured her from France to sing.
This brand-new show is a roller coaster ride of obsession and intrigue…in which music and memory can play cruel tricks… and The Phantom sets out to prove that, indeed, LOVE NEVER DIES. --- http://www.loveneverdies.com/the-show/background/

When God prays

Monday, May 10, 2010
 I found a really good website that can help me grow spiritually in Him. This is one of the articles that i felt touched after reading.. Don't run away from God, for He loves you!



When God prays

Have you ever wondered what kind of prayer God would ever pray? You heard it right, we’re talking about God’s prayer, and you’re definitely not reading an article from an atheist, but from a sinner who truly believes in the Living God. I believe in God. I believe He listens to our every prayer. But the real question is, do we ever listen when God prays?
 
My beloved, why do you cry? Why do you fill your heart with gloom and hopelessness? Why do you hide from me? Why do you bear this burden that is not yours? Was the night so long you never thought it would surrender to another sunrise? Was the winter too cold you never thought you could feel warm ever again? I am deeply troubled with your troubles. I am utterly concerned that I could not sleep. I know your wounds for they are mine as well. I know your tears and I would like to take them away.

No reply.

My beloved, it’s been so long since I heard your voice; so long since you poured out your heart to me. How I long to hear them once again. How I missed it! How I miss the songs you used to sing. How I miss you! How I yearn to enjoy your presence once more.


No reply.

My beloved, has the world deafened the ears that used to listen to my voice? Has the noise of the world been so loud you couldn’t hear my gentle whisper? How I’d like to shout upon you like thunder! To reach out to you like the crashing waves! But it is not my way, beloved. I am not among the fire nor the lightning nor the storm. I am the soft breeze that whispers unto you with unfailing love.


I do not have the love that you have, or the patience that you have for me. I do not care if you bring me fire or thunder or rain for it is just the same! This life is not good to me. It would have been better had I not been born at all!

Why do you despise life; life that I have given you? Have I not formed you in your mother’s womb? Have I not chosen you before the birth of the earth? Have I not fashioned you intricately, passionately, wonderfully, uniquely, perfectly beyond any conceivable thought or miracle? Have I not breathed on you? Have I not given you my own heart? Have I not made you in my own glory and immortality?


I can see no beauty whatsoever in the creature that I am. There is no hope for me for I am wretched and most unfortunate of men. Men will never look upon me with admiration or respect. Men would never even notice me, for who am I? Who am I that anyone should care about me?
You say you fashioned me. You say you breathed your life unto me, but I have none. Death has more mercy for one such as me.

Why do you choose death? Why prefer darkness to light? Sorrow over joy? Despair over hope? Have I not given you freewill? Have I not given you a mind such as my own?


Freewill belongs only to those blessed upon the earth. Men such as me have no choice whatsoever. Why hope when you will be frustrated in the end? Why desire light when you cannot prevail over darkness?

My beloved, have I not given you strength? Have I not poured out Wisdom unto you? Have I not armed you with everything you need to face the battles of this world? And have I not come before you and claimed victory over the war you cannot win?


Why do you talk to me? Don’t you have any other business to take care of? Why waste your time on me when you can convince a multitude with your words? I am not your only love. I am not the only one you care about so be gone from me! I am nobody’s beloved.

Why do you not trust my heart? Do you not know the love I have for you? And why send me to the crowd when my beloved is here? I leave the ninety-nine sheep for the one I seek. For the one which can never be replaced. For the one whom I will hide in the shadow of my wings. For the one whose name is written forever in the palm of my hand.


You speak so wonderfully as though it is the truth. As though you know how I feel.

There is no truth but I. And the truth is that I have loved you so much that I despised my life so you can have yours.


What is this life you’re talking about anyway? If there is heaven, why don’t you bring me there? It is different to walk the face of the earth. It is different to face the people that I face. To struggle with the problems I’m going through. To remain standing when a thousand await for me to stumble so they can trample upon me. So they can spit on my face when they have the chance. Where is the glory you’re talking about? They do not even respect me. Where is hope when I don’t even know which road to take?

What is it that you want, my child?


No reply.

What is it that you desire me to give you?


No reply.

Why do you not knock upon the door which waits to be opened up for you? Why do you not ask for the grace that was meant to be yours? Why do you content yourself with garbage when you can seek a treasure, which nobody can ever take away from you?


I am just so tired and worn out. I don’t even have the strength to argue with you anymore.

Then what is it that you want, my beloved?


I’m just so lonely; I wish there could be someone to hold my hand.

He holds our hand. He carries us when we can carry on
no more.
He restores our strength.
He renews us.
He picks up the broken pieces
of our hearts
and mends it
as though it were never broken at all.

God speaks, God seeks us in the darkest chambers of our hearts. God longs to hear us, to touch us and comfort us at times when we needed it most. But we are cold and tired and deaf. We hear Him knocking, but we dare not open the door. We hear Him praying, but we pretend not to have heard it, and we turn away.

Tell Me Why - Declan Galbraith

AWESOME!!!!!!! This kid is really GOOD!!Oh my god!!
I watched it several times already and still get goosebumps every time i listen to it. THUMBS UP!





In my dream children sing a song of love for every boy and girl
The sky is blue and fields are green and laughter is the language of the world
Then I wake and all I see is a world full of people in need

Tell me why (why) does it have to be like this?
Tell me why (why) is there something I have missed?
Tell me why (why) cos I don't understand.
When so many need somebody we don't give a helping hand.
Tell me why?

Everyday I ask myself what will I have to do to be a man?

Do I have to stand and fight to prove to everybody who I am?
Is that what my life is for to waste in a world full of war?

Tell me why (why) does it have to be like this?

Tell me why (why) is there something I have missed?
Tell me why (why) cos I don't understand.
When so many need somebody we don't give a helping hand.
Tell me why?

(children) tell me why? (declan) tell me why?

(children) tell me why? (declan) tell me why?
(together) just tell me why, why, why?

Tell me why (why) does it have to be like this?

Tell me why (why) is there something I have missed?
Tell me why (why) cos I don't understand.
When so many need somebody we don't give a helping hand.

Tell me why (why,why,does the tiger run)

Tell me why (why why do we shoot the gun)
Tell me why (why,why do we never learn)
Can someone tell us why we let the forest burn?

(why,why do we say we care)

Tell me why (why,why do we stand and stare)
Tell me why (why,why do the dolphins cry)
Can some one tell us why we let the ocean die ?

(why,why if we're all the same)

tell me why (why,why do we pass the blame)
tell me why (why,why does it never end)
can some one tell us why we cannot just be friends?

Lappie, Blood donation, Blue, and IP Man 2

Changed my template... I recently have a thing for BLUE. Blue Punjabi suits for both Kannada and Hindi Night. And i find blue very peaceful and comfortable. haha. Like my template so much.. I guess i not gonna change it for a long period of time.. =]

Sent my lappie for service today. Gonna get her back soon!! So exited. (Haha okay yes i get contented easily) I'm not gonna buy a new lappie for now.. And i'm gonna stop thinking about it. God, give me strength to resist temptation, amen! By the way i bought new laptop skin for my beloved lappie! I'll show u guys my skin when she came back frm her "hospital". Whee~~~

I saw a blood donation campaign going on just now @ Karamunsing... This is my SECOND attempt to donate blood but failed again!!
 "Sorry miss, you hav low haemoglobin count. It's normal for girls but it's not enough to donate to people." Why Why WHY?!! Am i destined that i cannot ever donate my blood?? I wanna do good with my blood!! I WANT I WANT I WANT!!

I googled how toincrease my blood haemoglobin count and here it is:
"Remedies to increase haemoglobin 
The fastest way to boost your hemoglobin is to stockpile in foods that are rich in iron. Iron provides red blood cells, which determine the quantity of hemoglobin in the blood. If your body is deficient in iron, chances are very high that you would also be deficient in hemoglobin. Some of the foods rich in iron are spinach, beetroot, soya beans, apples, almonds, pears, tomatoes, potato peels, figs and alfalfa sprouts. In order to add to your blood count, you can also include at least one serving of red meat in a day. This will also raise your hemoglobin levels very rapidly. You must make sure your body receives a combination of at least five to seven of these edibles every single day, in order to boost your count. It is preferable to have most of the listed components (except meat) raw, as they are richest in iron. Cooking may destroy iron content by as much as half. Potato peels may be dried and toasted in order to make them an interesting snack.
It is also important to cut back on tea, coffee, cigarettes and alcohol, since all of them inhibit absorption of iron in the body and therefore reduce your blood count. You can have herbal tea, fresh juices or water instead."


*That means i should eat spinach, beetroot, soya beans, apples, almonds, pears, tomatoes, potato peels, figs and alfalfa sprouts everyday and can't drink tea and coffee so frequently anymore =[*

Sigh. Kla i'll update more when my lappie came back home to mama. Lots of my pictures are inside her brain. Just hope the guy wont re-format her la.

Oh ya by the way IP Man 2 is AWESOME!!!!!! MUST WATCH!!  *Cried when Sammo Hung died being punched violently by the stupid ugly ang mo. T.T
(Gonna steal IP Man from Liying and watch it when i get back to KTT)


Thats all for now.. Tata! =] Have a nice day and God bless you all!

Random post about LOVE

Saturday, May 1, 2010
People have been asking me a question: Do you have a boyfriend? What? Is "boyfriend" a nesseccity in life now? Yes stop exclaiming already. I dont have and i never had a boyfriend before. Is that The Eighth Wonder of The World? Is that because everybody should start dating at my age (i'm not that old!! )? Is that because i'm outgoing and pretty and hot that i SHOULD have a boyfriend? (Okay enough of the narcissism. Don't vomit, people. LOL.)

Firstly, what do boyfriends do? Take GOOD care of you. Listen to you when everybody else doesnt wanna listen. Then complain that you are noisy, shouting: leave me alone. Carry your handbags and your shopping victories. Share everything with you. Doensnt allow you to talk to other guys. Eat your leftovers. Commenting on your clothes. Need you to pick his clothes because he doesnt know how to dress up. Then complain about your choice of clothing. Pay for your meals. Buy stuffs for you. Make you wait anticipatingly for his calls whole night. And NEVER call back. So-called protect you. Rob your heart. Then smash it into pieces.

Now. I dont need somebody to take care of me. I'm OLD enough to carry my own stuffs, eat every meal on time, sleep on time, bath on time. I know how to dress up. I can finish my own meal. I know how to cross the road. I know how to chew my food. And I certainly dont appreciate you smoking into my face!


And no although i'll be glad and happy if you pay for my meals, i dont need it. (NEED and WANT are two different things). We girls are independant animals. We can afford a roti canai ourselves. For we can earn our own money using our own brains.

I dont need more guys to crash my heart. For it had been hurt once. Due to my immaturity and stupidity. Yet i never regretted. What's life without pain? The pain will always be there for a reason. I dont wanna forget those wounds, but just let me keep the scars deep down inside me. For now i've given my heart to Christ. He is the only man that wouldnt break my heart. I believe.

I dont want a shallow relationship. I dont want puppy-love. I dont want a relationship that will make me feel relieved when it ended. I dont want a boyfriend.  *大丈夫 by Jolin Tsai playing in background* lol. And i believe that God has someone in mind for me =]


I NEED a real man. Whom i can intellectually communicate with. Whom i can talk about life with. Whom have same interests and same goals in life. Whom i can feel emotionally attached with. Whom i can know what is he thinking when he raise his brows or bite his lips. Who knows me more than i know myself. Who appreciates me for who I am.Who doesnt need to say a word but i know he'll always be there for me. Who will make me feel safe in his arms. Who wont take me as a burden, but as a companion.

God, I pray that someday a guy like that will come into my life. And if i'm not aware about it, please drop me hints and let me know. I dont wanna miss a man like that, Father. He might not be the hottest guy on Earth, he might not be perfect, but he shall be the one that will always stand by me through high and low, joy and sorrow. He shall be the one that i can spend my whole life with. Amen.
