There’s a rock that doesn’t move,
It hasn’t moved, it will never move,
Even though the waves come crashing down.
There’s a tower on a hill, its always strong,
It will never shake,
It was standing there before the world began.
There’s a wave that’s coming in,
Washing over this town, it will make or break us, reinvent us,
It’s time to lay me down.
On Christ the solid rock we will stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
On Christ the solid rock we will stand,
We’ll climb on your back, take us to higher ground.
There’s a song that doesn’t fade,
It never fades it was custom made,
To raise the sons and daughters of this earth.
There’s a sound that’s coming in,
Rushing over this town, it will make or break us, reinvent us; it’s time to lay me down.
My hope is built on nothing less,
Than Jesus blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus name.
When darkness seems to veil his face,
I rest on his unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
His oath his covenant and blood,
Support me in the ‘whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
When the last trumpets voice shall sound,
O then I may in him be found,
Clothed in his righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before his throne.

In Celebration of Mastereign Trainers
2:21 PM - Saturday, June 27, 2009
Few people knew this: this inargural TTT Night was put together in a shockingly short time. But that's the type of velocity and speed Kelvin noticed that the Mastereign tribe worked in. And he liked the flavour and the spontaniety.
There were some hiccups that could be prevented. So after i dismissed the crowd, i felt bad about the poor organisation. I told John and Whai Aun that my personal appraisal is 5/10. John recoiled and judged that it was an A+ performance and Whai Aun said, "Focus on the large picture. You've done well." Kelvin told me this morning that the event was good! Just got a msg from Danny - "It was good. U handled it well."
Buddies are God's gifts and manifested grace in my life. How miserable i will be if i do not have them.
For Part 2: Jovin cordinated the Dbl O party for some of us. I love his enthusiasm. Nicholas was really kind to get 10 of us in FOC. Pity that the other smaller group broke off and went somewhere else. And Kelvin went with them! Anyway, i'm sure his presence is a blessing to them.
Many Dbl O partygoers are so young. Haha! Still very nice. Here are Calin, Jovin, me, Angel and Regina.
Jovin want to be one of the girls???
When MJ's music was played, suddenly i'd a deja vu experience. Those days of disco and house functions of the 80s came back. Those young and restless days were coloured by the music of Michael Jackson, Donna Summers, Bee Gees, Blondie, Kool and the Gang, etc, etc.
So when John asked if i cried when MJ died, he probably expected an emotionally choked 'yes' reply from me. I only dug deep into my memories and relived those happy moments that are linked to his music. Just 2 months ago (mid May, I think) i was watching one you-tube after another on MJ. And now he is gone.
