LIVE FOR TODAY
livin' for todayy

*mah own world*

Loneliness gnaws at
the core of my being,
wracked with grief
for happiness lost.
My heart cries out,
“Where is the peace,
the rest,
the understanding
you promised me?”
Then,
I hear your answer
soft on the wind,
winging to my rescue
and giving me hope.



put your faith in His hand
if onli to Him,
u'd turn your eyes.
u'd find the faith,
to realize...

for He is my life
He is my soul.
i noe dat God is in control.
no matter wad de world may be...
He's dere fer yew and mi!
for He is my life
He is my soul.
i noe dat God is in control.
cux all dat He does..
is a testimony of His love!!

i've lost de spark...
dat lit my life.
i've lost de tune i hummed...
i've lost de tyme,
none can replace...
im lost..
thru all my daes.

dis is a nitemare dat haunts my dreams.
dis is reality.if onli i could...
turn back tyme.
n haf yew here with mi...

de tears,cannot stop fallin...fer de love i've lost so far.
the colour of the rainbow's gone,my sky has turned to grey.
all i haf are yesterdays...wen all was gud and well...
wen there was still rehearsals...n wen my life held meaning.
regret now drowns my weary soul.
im nuthin but a shell...

it's over.
it's all over.
the 6 months that haf passed,i can never get back.
last nite,i slept at 1.
i rote a song...
n it's dedicated ta yew guys...-smiles sadly-

*mah own world*
.it was a journey.

these tears...
they fall.
u've been there thru it all...
& now im lost,
everything is gone.
i feel so empty,
lonely inside me...
i've lost my purpose,
n i dunno where ta start....

[chorus]
it was a journey...
a dream.
an experience i enjoyed.
it was a journey...
of faith...
and it's alwaes in my heart...

it's now...all over
de race we ran for so long.
it aint de end,
but de beginning...
and yet im lost...
everything seems wrong...
i feel so empty,
lonely, inside me.
i've lost my purpose,
n i dunno where ta start....
*chorus*

dear all,
i won't forget yew...
how can i ever stay strong?
i'm gonna miss yew...
everything seems wrong...
i feel so empty,
lonely, inside me.
i've lost my purpose,
n i dunno where ta start....
*chorus*

[bridge]
you say,
Let go!
but i can't...
im holdin on.
you say,
Be strong!
but i can't...
im crying out.
*chorus(2x)


well,that's de song.i poured my feelings into it.
i miss everyone so much now...
my life has lost its purpose,i now feel so empty inside.
i think i'm allergic to life without rehearsals.
it aint fair...
i miss everyone so much...

i'm gonna miss goin fer rehearsals...
im gonna miss fallin asleep in between scenes...
im gonna miss goin on stage n gettin embarrassed wen ms Loh yells
"PITCHING!!"
im gonna miss all the excited whispers of
"you can do it" and "all the best" before the show.
im gonna miss....everything.
i feel like i've lost everything here...
de song jena sang realli does apply...

de tears cannot stop fallin'
fer de love i lost today.
the colour of the rainbow's gone.
my sky...has turned to grey.
all i haf...
are yesterdays...
wen all was good and well.
regret now drowns my weary soul...
im nuthin but...
a shell.

i've lost the spark that lit my life
i've lost de tune i hummed.
i've lost the friend...
none can replace...
i'm lost thru all my days...

is this a nitemare that haunts my dreams?
or is this reality?
if onli i could...
turn back time...
and haf u here with mi...
in the lonely darkness of my mind...
im jux left with...
emptiness and pain.
wad would i give ta be...
by your side.
to see you once again.
*chorus*

hey y'all...
two daes more til the bigg nite.n guess wad?
im at home now...feeling ill.shitt.dun wanna feel this way.
so scared of losing mah voice.
so scared of messing up this whole musical.
so scared....

this is all veri obviously satan's doing.most of us getting sickk i mean...
he doesnt want the message to reach those hu need it.
those hu are lookin fer encouragement.
we all hafta pray against it...and d0 our job which is ta take care of our health.
tomorroe's the last rehearsal we'll ever haf...lets gif it our all...
hope that by tomorroe,we'll all be feeling better,
and that by musical nite,we'd be ready ta gif everything.

to touch those out there hu need this encouragement so much.
as for the tyme we've spent together...i treasure it now,and i alwaes will...
i wun ever ferget yew guys...the musical cast.
the tyme we've spent crappin around.
we've realli grown so much thru this musical...
we started of going for saturday rehearsals.
we were all split up fer sectional practices so we didn realli noe each other...
then we grew abit closer the week b4 june holidaes....
remember?curling up and goin to sleep on each other's lap in the E hall?
but we grew the closest during the June holidaes.
and now...now...we think it's all going ta be over...it is in some waes.
it'll be the end of rehearsals...of tymes we've spent falling asleep backstage.
but it'll also be the beginning.
the beginning.the beginning of what i aint exactly sure...
but yew see,if 20 years down the road,all 25 of us meet up...
it'd jux prove that...our frenship wasnt the kind that ended with the musical.it'd be something far more...special

we've also grown...spritually i guess.
we've all realized that this musical aint about ourselves.
it's about God.
we're his messengers.telling the world of is faithfullness and gudness.

and to the teachers,thankew yew guys so much fer spending so much tyme making the musical what it is...
for yelling at us to get it perfect.
fer encouraging us wen there was an improvement.
fer telling us never to give up...

also to the Lord,for watching over us as we rehearsed and stuff.....
this musical is HIS.

haha'
 
duN miss mi to0 much y'all...
nite!

Charis Vera `livedd @ 1:13:00 am

hey y'all...
i realized...
dat after so long workin with everyone fer de musical...
in about 11,10 days...it's all gonna be over.
we'll haf the musical n *pooF*
lives...back to normal....the onli thing we'll be left with is...
well,memories...
probably mostly of the countless rehearsals and..
and...the tyme spent with everyone else...
the precious tyme spent joking around,swapping sick jokes..
hugging,laffing...

as supranee said...
"i think i'll remember our tyme together at all these rehearsals more than the actual day itself."

it's so true...
i noe fer sure i'd alwaes remeber the musical dae itself...
the product of all our efforts and hard work...
but wad i'd remember more...
is the tyme i spent with the rest of the muscial cast...
it's something i'd give almost anything to relive..
yes,even more than the muscial dae itself.

clarice said "the fun is in the making..."
and i agree with her...and to think that...
that...
after this,our lives will be back to normal...
sometimes,wen rehearsals getr tiring and veri veri trying...
and when we think that we've been working so hard,
for nothing...
i look back,frowning at myself in disagreement.
for all of us in the musical,have gained something so special,
that few people would understand...
we've become friends...
and not just...those kinda people you say hi to when you pass along the corridor.
more like...
friends so close...and almost inseparable...
forgive me if you see this relationship as anything else,but it seems this to me.
when skool jux started this term,and we all met up at 1.45 for a briefing,
as we left...Mrs Ng saw us all together...
and she stared at us in disbelief...
she went "you girls have gotten so close,so fast...it's very scary."

last nite...some of us musical cast had a "conversation" thru sms...
it was rather sadd...i had refused to think of what was to happen after the musical.
but last nite...
last nite...we all realized that...as the musical date drew nearer...so did the end of our rehearsals...our tyme spent together the way we spend it now...
but as Mrs Tan put it...life continues...it's reality.
sadd to think of it that way...but she's right.

Ms Loh said we should treasure this moment with each other..
cux we'll never get it back...
never.
i want us..all the musical cast...to make a pact.
that even after the musical...we'll remain as close as ever...
even when the oldest move off after their O's...
and perhaps...10 years down the road...we'll haf a reunion..
all wearing The Father's Hand shirt...
and wen people ask.."what is that shirt you're wearing?"
we can all go..."were u there?or are you a square?"

but now...seeing the musical draw closer and closer...
i wanna take this chance...to treasure this special tyme...with everyone.
at least we know that if we work hard enuff now,the audience will remember us to0...
n i hope we'd haf impacted most of the audience's lives...

now...a few shots....taken off neri's photo blog...hope yew dun mind gurl...haha


dis was taken wen we all went out fer lunch with ms loh...i'll never forget it...haha...

same dae..obviously....haha

these are mah first two hubbies...haha...sam n rhubz...it's a confusing family tree...dun try figuring it out.

*sniffs...not a veri gud picture...but ah wells.
clarice,neri n audrey...our lil braT...haha

steph and neri here...both lookin as kewt n sweet as they are in real life...haha

a rather blurry pic...but..ah wells.

mi n dearie nic..mah third hubby...haha....she's vewi huggable by the wae.haha

dear shalini..mah fourth hubby...haha...fruiTy...Letitia and neri...

yesyes...that's me...with a tree...a crooked tree,not a cactus...but a tree nonetheless.haha

yeppx...that's pretty much all of the pics...i'll totally treasure them.
they're mah memories...precious things i carn bear to lose.
im gonna start bringing mah cam along everywhere ta take pics of all of us at de last few rehearsals...so what if it aint a digi cam...
dey capture memories all de same...haha....

all i haf...are yesterdaes,wen all was gud n well....
the Father's hanD..!! be there or be square!!

shall leave it at dat...n to all musical cast...
i luv u guys loads!!we'll touch people's lives together!!

*mah own world*
i fear...
being left onli with memories
to hold on to...
please promise...
dat we'll remain as close as ever..
dat nuthin will change.
that inside,
we'll still be the musical casT...
it's dream i dun wanna let go of...
dun make mi..
please....

THE FATHER'S HAND...BE THERE OR BE SQUARE!!

butterfly kisses-
I hope you never fear the
mountains in the distance.
Never settle for the path
of least resistance.
Lovin' might be a mistake
but its worth making.
When you get a chance to
sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance

Promise me you'll give faith
a fighting chance.
Give the heavens above more
than just a passing glance.

Realised i like you
for who you are,
I can't tell you its
a facade:
Don't let your hell bent heart
leave you bitter, When you come close
to selling out,
please reconsider.

I hope you dance
beautiful song-
