Unknown Song without a Title

Wrote this song somewhere end of February 2014, during Charge Up! camp, where I joined a song composing workshop. It was a sweet and thoughtful gift from Ruidi & Sandy. I was in between barista jobs and was struggling financially. While they joined the camp, not only they thought of inviting me, including me in the fun, they offered to pay for my fee. One of the most memorable gifts I've received for no reason.

During the workshop, we were given this exercise where we were shown the picture of a pruned tree. We brainstormed words relating the picture and we were asked to compose a song from there. The song below is my take on it, with much help from my facilitators, Ernest and Ming Li, on the lyrics and also the music. To have met and known them have been such a privilege, an honor and one of my greatest inspiration.

It's been a while, and I don't know why I chose to journal this here today. Just felt like giving my unknown untitled song a home here :) I'm not sure if I can write anything so genuine again.

Verse 1:

Cornered I stand

Bare with few strands

What have I done to be treated this way?

Bruised and despised

By those walking by

Life is a shadow of warm summer days

Pre-Chorus:

Where is this leading me?

Chorus:

Well,

God hasn't promised days with no rain

God hasn't promised nights with no pain

There will be time of loss and despair

Cause God never promised blue skies all the way

Verse 2:

Days passed

And seasons changed

But my brokenness still remains

Oh how I longed for your touch again

Is there a reason behind this pain

Could there be a second chance?

Chorus:

Well,

God hasn’t promised days with no rain

God hasn’t promised nights with no pain

There will be time of loss and despair

Cause God never promised blue skies all the way

Bridge:

In your higher plans, I believe

Through the silence you are near

In your loving hands, I surrender

Oh can’t wait to see, your beauty in me

Chorus:

Well,

God hasn’t promised days with no rain

God hasn’t promised nights with no pain

There will be time of loss and despair

Cause God never promised ……………

Ending Chorus:

But,

God he has promised strength through the rain

And God he has promised peace through the pain

There will be courage and hope as I stand

Cause God he has promised His light all the way

Scrapbooking Stores in Malaysia

Last updated 14th March 2014 I first did this research back in 2008. I was very surprised and excited to find scrapbooking and craft shops blooming in Malaysia. I'm still grateful that we Malaysians are able to have have access to buy these supplies today. I hope we will be able to get more and more brands into Malaysia. ^^ I don't mind sharing these info as I believe "Sharing is Caring" and I would love to see more Malaysian crafters coming out with lovely production to enhance our local crafting market. Also, I hope you all would pass on the information to other fellow beginners ^^ Anyways, this is a recent update I did of the shops I know/found. Don't think its complete though. Some are shops that I've personally found and visited while others are from research and some are recommended by friends or readers of my blog. And from my very own personal experience, some of my personal favourite shops (in no particular order) are as belo...

The Power of Positive Thinking

WARNING: This is a Looooooong Post :P I'm reading a book titled "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale. Actually this is a book i bought on 20th July, 2002 and didn't finish it for some reasons that I don't remember. Then lately, out of the blue, I took it out to read it all over again, hopefully being able to finish it this time :P Neways, that's the history of the book and me. I'm at chapter 2 now and I came across a very unique practice of a man. It reads: It is possible, even in the midst of your daily work, to drive confident thoughts into consciousness. Let me tell you about one man who did so by the use of a unique method. One icy winter morning he called for me at a hotel in a Midwestern city to take me about thirty-five miles to another town to fill a lecture engagement. We got into his car and started off at a rather high rate of speed on the slippery road. He was going a little faster than I thought reasonable, and I reminded h...
