Songs: 突然心動

Well, it's been a long time since I watched 偶像劇 or listened to 流行歌曲, and I have recently addicted to this drama called Lan Ling Wang 兰陵王, a 2013 TV series and am in love with this song from the drama, sang by Daniel Chan 陈晓东, called Suddenly My Heart Moved 突然心動.

Touched by the words and melody of the song, especially if you know the story of Lan Ling Wang TV series. 

电视剧 兰陵王 插曲

作词：二水

作曲：孔凡东

编曲：孔凡东

一朵夕阳斜斜挂在巷口，

我俳佪在你家的门口，

有些话已经蠢蠢欲动，

我只想你一人懂，

不想别人在我的眼中。

一片落叶落在我的胸口，

我才知道，已到深秋，

我一直用心在播种，

你浅浅的一个笑容，

让我魂牵梦绕在其中。

我为你心动，被你感动

你的笑容，像天边的彩虹，

我说过永远，不是冲动。

我会珍惜关于你的每一分钟。

突然心动，有你不同

我的天空，过滤掉了伤痛。

我说过永远，当然管用

我让瞬间停在我心中。

我说过永远，当然管用

我让瞬间停在

我心中。。。

我心中。。。。

我心中。。。。

uummmm…….

我心中。。。。

Elf's: Godly Friend

We were suppose to catch a movie together yesterday, however, we missed the show time as he insisted that I should take a proper lunch. There's always next time for the movie, right? 

The dessert we had was super yummy - 楊枝甘露 from 香港盛記甜品店 at Vivo City. My lunch was so-so and I believed his 燒賣 were the same. 

Yummy 楊枝甘露

We went for a walk at Vivo City, stayed outdoor at one of the balconies at level 1 and talked for awhile, about his encounters at HK. Apparently, Causeway Bay is a very nice area and very atas, specially for expats that work for Cathay. Wow! And he loves that place. 

Then I suggested to take a walk at the Sentosa Boardwalk. And it was his first time walking there. I felt so priviledge  and special as he is going to walk there with me for his first time. So, we walked and paid $1 as entrance fee to Sentosa. 

Walked at Sentosa for awhile and we headed back to Vivo by taking the LRt. And we headed to the coffee house he has suggested although I wanted to go to my fav Costa Coffee so much, but I really don't mind trying any new thing with him. 

So, it is a newly opened coffee house - abc that is located just next to Jamie's Italian. Nice environment. Cozy and warm. I wanted to order my fav drink - Flat White, of coz. But he teased me that I made a good choice for Flat White has the highest milk contains compared to the rest. (I was being advised by my GP to avoid milky and oily food as I was having gastroenteritis). So, I knew I have to change my drink and he suggested mocha, which is my second fav drink. And latte for himself. He also has ordered a piece of brownies to share, and he checked with the counter that it doesn't contains milk. How thoughtful and swet can he be? 

My Mocha in red cup, love it!

My mocha came in a red cup, which is our fav colour. I was super happy with it. And with a heart-shape latte-art (although my order was not latte), its almost perfect. And when I tasted it, it was good. Fragrant and smooth textures. 

His Latte

His latte came with a heart-shaped latte art too. Not sure how it taste, but I guess it's good. And I think his fav drink should be latte, as this is not the first time he ordered latte. 

We had a not so long but definitely one of the best conversations we ever had. He truly cares about my future, and gave me his sincere advises, and encouraged me that it's not too late to start my planning now, I am still young. 

Me and my red cup Mocha

Then, he suggested to take a pic of me drinking my mocha in my fav red cup. So cute of him. He also commented that I like to dress up. I told him I like to dress up but not dress out, and will dress up for special people, special function or special ocassion only. 

When we bid our goodbye to each other, as we were going to different way, I need to take CCL to go back to BL, and he will take NEL to go back to LI. I went down the escalator by myself, and enter the train. I chose to stand at the corner and I noticed that someone sat at the twin seats next to me, and that person was using his phone at me as if he is taking a pic of me. I did not pay much attention at first and thought maybe is just a tourist, then that person is like trying to get my attention, so, when I looked again at that person, wola! It was him. I was surprised coz he was supposed to rush home after meeting me up. And he told me that he needs to drop something at his home at TB. So I asked if I can go with him as it was still early and my aunt did not cook for me. 

We walked to his block and I waited for him under the block while he went up for his business. We talked a lot... and while walking back to the train station, I saw a very unique buildings, okay, it's 3 buildings actually, and I asked him if he knows what building was that. It was called Reflections @ Keppel Bay. And he also shared with me that this is like the proud of Keppel Construction, and the buildings are also featured in Keppel's advertisement, the one with a very nice instrument, and we hummed it together. It was almost perfect. A perfect moment for us. 

Reflections at Keppel Bay

We give each other a hug while waiting for the lift to go down to the train station, it has been so long since we last hugged each other, but we did not prolong the hug, just a short and solid hug for each other. 

“But I think we both knew, even then, that what we had was something even more rare, and even more meaningful. I was going to be his friend, and was going to show him possibilities. And he, in turn, would become someone I could trust more than myself.” 
― David Levithan, Boy Meets Boy

We love because He first loved us.  - 1 John 4:19 (NIV)

Songs: Sancturary

This song is written by my crush - Mr KC Gan. I like this song even before I knew him, the song was introduced by FC. 

A very anointed worship song.

When my world was in darkness
You spoke Your word
Night turned into day
Your beauty filled this place

When my world stood in silence
You filled my heart with songs that never end
Forever I will praise

To think that the universe
Could not withhold Your glory
You choose to live in me
I'm so amazed

And I worship You Lord
My life in You restored
Here is my heart
Make it Your Sanctuary
For nobody else
But Jesus, only You

You are faithful and true
Glorious Lord
All my life it is You I adore
You touched my soul
Completed my world
I surrender to you

Thank you KC for this beautiful worship song written for our Lord Jesus.

FMF: Connect

Philippians 2:1-2Amplified Bible (AMP)

2 So by whatever [appeal to you there is in our mutual dwelling in Christ, by whatever] strengthening and consoling and encouraging [our relationship] in Him [affords], by whatever persuasive [a]incentive there is in love, by whatever participation in the [Holy] Spirit [we share], and by whatever depth of affection and compassionate sympathy,

2 Fill up and complete my joy by living in harmony and being of the same mind and one in purpose, having the same love, being in full accord and of one harmonious mind andintention.

First of all, I don't get to see any word from the FMF page, hence, I decided that it will CONNECT, as this is what my church is currently launching, to get connected with the church members and make church life more family like.

I was looking for bible verses related to connect or connection, and came across these verse as quoted above.

I was deeply hurt by a church friend when I moved to my current church, and so I was telling God, I don't want to make any friends here, please don't send me friends. I literally closed myself up. But God, as usual, has a better plan for me. He set-up Chingay for me to sign up, and met VL, my ex-colleague back, and friends kept flowing in for me. Then I met BC, and she brought me to serve in RSM, and after that we both together with other friends from Chingay signed up for choir audition. And I got more than 1 hundred fold of what I have lost.

I was still not opened, very reserved towards new friends. But God loves me deeply and sent me friends that are very passionate and somehow can feel me and they melted my "wall". I enjoy the new friends that I made in RSM, as well as choir. I have a WWJD group as well as JDFC from both ministry. They are like my second family. We love, uplift, encourage, pray for each other.

Not to forget my M Club jimuis in Malaysia. They are my closest family, whom God has greatly blessed me with. MY, YT, CY & KL, I just love you all so much! I pray for salvation to come to each and everyone of you, in Jesus' name. Amen!

The best thing is, God restored my broken relationship with the one who hurt me before, and we are like the closest sisters for each other again. God know us best, He knows that we love each other, it's the pride that destroy our friendship. He spoke to me in many ways, and I know, I have to let her that I have already forgiven her. Although JR doesn't agree for what I did, but I know that this is the way. JR should not be controlling my choice of friends and actions.

And of course, my best friend will always be Jesus, who will never leave me nor forsake me. Thank You Lord.

Movies: The Judge

Watched The Judge today alone after seeing doctor for my sore throat condition.

I don't know about this movie at all, as in I have no idea that this movie actually existed. But when I checked on the movies showing that the nearby movie house, most of the movies are horror type and I really don't like horror movie that usually create unnecessary fear in one's heart. And so, I saw this movie called The Judge, doesn't sound like a horror movie to me, and after watching the trailer, I'd decided to watch this movie.

First of all, Mr IronMan - Robert Downey Jr. is the first reason that caught my eyes and interest, and secondly, it is a story about lawyer and judge, son and father, kinda interesting for me as I like story about professionalism and family.

Entered the cinema at 12.45pm, and the show has just started, I chose a very good seat, the last row of the cinema, and because it's a weekday, it is almost empty in the cinema.

The story is about Henry Palmer, a very successful lawyer, received the news of his mother passed away while he was in the court room. He has not been home for the longest time due to the bad relationship between him and his father, Judge Joseph Palmer. Deep in his heart, he believes that his father hated him. There were many bitterness in his heart, with his father and brothers for the wrongs that he did when he was younger. He doesn't know how to deal with all the wrongs that he did, and he is too ego to admit his wrongs, and so, he chose to flee to another state to live a life that he think he is comfortable with.

So, after he returned home for his mother's funeral, many things happened, and he gets to face some ugly pasts that he tried to leave behind, fixed his relationship with his father and his first girlfriend as well.

Overall, it's a very nice story with strong casting. Mr Downey is very smart, handsome and sexy in the movie. JR text-ed me and I shared with him that Robert is very sexy and yummy. Lol! Thou shall not lust, Evelyn Zoé!

I cried a few times during the movie, the father and son are in the progress of fighting the enemy together, and especially when his father fell down in his bathroom, it reminds me of my dad. I hope everything will be fine with him, very soon! Amen!

If you are going to watch this movie too, enjoy!
