44 years more to live?

I just finished playing a new board game with Elijah and Sarah, 'Puerto Rico". I won.

I literally slept through the first half an hour or so while Elijah read the instructions on how to actually play the game.. it was 100% complicated. So if you thought settlers was even a little complex, trust me - it was no match to this game. In fact, this game didn't even use a dice like Settlers - no luck, pure brains. So Settlers was a little like Monopoly in fact - 25% brains, 75% luck. Puerto Rico was 100% brains and 0% heart. Lol!

It was our first time playing, and I have to admit that I didn't do it on my own - took some advice from Sarah and Elijah. Thanks to Elijah for all his sabotages as well.. oh well.. he wasted all my doubloons I could have earned from selling my coffee!!! Arghhh~!!!! >=\

Sorry for the jargon,.. but anyways,.. learnt some lessons on life.. The game ended as soon as we finally understood it.. just before the climax,.. I won. ..what an interesting way to end =.= (and I didn't even get a chance to use those large newly built Indigo factories *sobz..)

After the game ended, I asked them, "How come you didn't buy the large buildings?" (the Large buildings were like.. the best way to earn the most Victory Points).

But they replied that they wanted to build so many other things, that they didn't even bother finding out what these large buildings did.. They focused so much on developing their cities, buying more warehouses, factories, markets.. and they didn't think that the game would have ended that soon.. So all these time in the game, they were developing themselves and dreaming big, preparing for something so big that never came, because time was slipping away, and they were not aware of it.

Many times in life, we dream big and plan ahead.. a little too much for what we can do within this short period of time. I know this sounds weird coming from Anna, for Anna is one that is.. a dreamer.. I love to dream. I always believe that there is nothing too big for God to handle.

It's not that I don't believe God can do big things - He can. And I still believe with all my heart. What I am saying is.. we don't know how short life is. Life is short. And we should be more down to earth sometimes. It's okay to plan ahead and dream big, just don't merely plan. We have to see what we have right now and use it. If we think we really have all the time in the world, I'm sorry to burst your bubbles today, but we don't.

Think about it - how many years of our lives do we actually spent learning and developing ourselves for the rest of our lives? How many years do we spent on education alone? 5 years? no.. 10 years? no.. then? 20 years? no.. more than 20 years.

And then, we're still not done.. we have to be retrained so that we can be properly equipped for the workforce.. another few years before we are considered 'experienced' and 'seasoned' just to uphold a single position in any company. And that can be many more years, depending on the company. The bigger the company you work for, the more years of experience is required for one position. Some positions in some companies require up to 8-10 years experience in order to be eligible for that position. Some more..

What I am trying to say is.. we dream. And we want so many things in life. We want to build the largest food chain, yet we want to build a chain of hotels, and we also want to franchise a boutique clothes shop. Not forgetting the factories and interior designing companies. Oh, and most importantly.. the schools I want to build in both developed and under developed countries.. (I am mostly referring to myself, aren't I?)

Yes, I dream.. but look at my life and look at the time I have left - the clock is ticking. And I seriously thought I had a whole life ahead of me when I graduate, and yes, I still believe I do. But it is important to realize it now before it is too late, that the amount of time and the opportunities I have only come once. And time only crosses our paths once, and they never come back. Time lost, no one can get back. My mum used to give me advice on time so many times.. and I always thought I understood what she meant, but today when I play that game and realize how something we have been building up for so long may end so abruptly,.. I start to ponder, really.. about life.

We spent the first 30 years of our lives trying to be good enough to live out the next 25 years and finally realize that we don't have much time left.. 55 is the age of retirement, and if you want to console yourself that the age of retirement is 60, then you may very well do so, but don't deceive yourself - it's just another 5 years.. so you have 30 years to accomplish everything you have been preparing for the first 30 years of your life. And mind you, time passes by faster everyday, as we grow up. Haven't you heard of the phrase, "And already, another year is gone.."

This has been something I wondered about while I was in Ipoh too, as I heard this song on the radio..

I'm 15 for a moment caught in between 10 and 20 and I'm just dreamin',

countin' the ways to where you are.
I'm 22 for a moment and she feels better than ever and we're on fire, making our way back from Mars.

15, there's still time for you,

Time to buy and time to lose,

15, there's never a wish better than this,
When you only got a hundred years to live. . .

I'm 33 for a moment still the man but you see I'm a "they,"

A kid on the way babe, a family on my mind.
I'm 45 for a moment, the sea is high and I'm headin' into a crisis, chasin' the years of my life,

15, there's still time for you,

Time to buy and time to lose yourself within a morning star.
15, I'm alright with you,

15, there's never a wish better than this,
When you only got a hundred years to live. . .

Half time goes by suddenly you're wise,

Another blink of an eye 67 is gone, the sun is gettin' high,
We're movin' on. . .

I'm 99 for a moment, dyin' for just another moment and I'm just dreamin',
Counting the ways to where you are.

15, there's still time for you,

22, I feel her too,

33, you're on your way,
Every day's a new day...

15, there's still time for you,

Time to buy and time to choose,

Hey 15! There's never a wish better than this,
When you only got a hundred years to live. .

But keep it real, people.. we DON'T have a hundred years to live.. average life for both men and woman in Malaysia is 70.6 years.. For those of you in other countries, you can look your country up on this [table] . Quoted from the article attached, "Currently, the worldwide life expectancy for all people is 64.3 years but for males it's 62.7 years and for females life expectancy is 66 years, a difference of more than three years. The sex difference ranges from four to six years in North America and Europe to more than 13 years between men and women in Russia."

..so keep it real, keep it short, always count your days.. and look to God.

P/s: I should really spend more time with my parents..

I Believe .:: Lenny LeBlanc

Like a ship on troubled waters
Many sail alone
Mothers weep for sons and daughters
And pray they will come home
For soon it will be harvest time
And all the storms will pass
O what joy I'll find
When I see You at last

You are my resting place
Along the narrow highway
You are my bridge
Across the open sea
You are my Savior
And my passageway to Heaven
O Jesus I believe in You
O Jesus I believe

Father You have seen my struggles
And You have known my fears
But Lord You've been so faithful
To wipe away my tears
So when the world laughs at me
And says I'm just a fool
I will bow my knee
And worship only You

I believe You are the only answer
To life's questions
Lord help me keep my heart
In the right direction



Treat her right ::. Lenny LeBlanc

A lot of people breaking hearts these days
Giving up and just walking away
Forever's just another word
That you hear young lovers say
I know it may be old fashioned, but I still believe
Love stays when the strong winds blow
Even when it hurts, don't let go

Chorus
You've got to treat her right, understand
That she's your woman and you're her man
Tell her that you need her
Like the desert needs the rain
And if you treat her right, show her you care
When you need her she'll be there
Like an island in the storm, a beacon in the night
If you love her, treat her right

A good woman ain't easy to find
The faithful and the loving kind
And if you don't hold her tight
She'll slip right through your hands
Love gives more than it takes
So be willing for her sake
Stand by her when the strong winds blow
Even when it hurts, don't let go

Chorus

She's your best friend and your lover
So if you want to keep her
Take good care of her

If you treat her right, show her you care
When you need her, she'll be there
Like an island in the storm, a beacon in the night
If you love her treat her right

Treat her right
Treat her right




In this album, I also like 'Silent Stars' ^^ :)

Come Back Home - Apple

lately in this journey
with the battles in the way
i have fought with my own might
though unguarded by the light

ive fallen once again
to the pit that once held me
so i looked up and cried
please take me back to the light

coz i wanna come back home
in Your arms where im secured
im tired of living with these worries
im tired of fearing all day long
now i wanna give my all
and surrender to You
just wana live a life
the way it was when im with You

now im alone in the room
with no one left to bother
no faces to see
no voices to hear

but deep in my heart
where there's an empty space that keeps me
its Your face i wanna see
its Your voice i long to hear

i know it wont be easy
to let You take away
the life that ive held on
for so long
but i'll take this one big step
and let You take my all
and leave the rest to You

I Dance .::. Lenny LeBlanc

I just love the whole Above All CD..



When I'm alone with You, Lord
My troubles seem to disappear
And the peace that comforts me
Always comes when You are near
And Your love's too much for my heart to contain
Joy too much that my feet won't refrain

So I dance like the rain on the roof
Tell my soul that my spirit's on the loose
Don't know if anyone will understand
Feels like an angel's got a hold of my hand
So I dance
I dance I dance I dance


When I think about the ways
That You have blessed my life
I sing a song of praise and thankful tears fill my eyes
'Cause Your love's too much for my heart to contain
Joy too much that my feet won't refrain

So I dance like the rain on the roof
Tell my soul that my spirit's on the loose
Don't know if anyone will understand
Feels like an angel's got a hold of my hand
So I dance
I dance I dance I dance

Chris Daughtry - Over You

Now that it's all said and done,
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
And I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
From spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
And I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,

I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
From spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

Well, I never saw it coming.
And I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.

Well, I never saw it coming.
And I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
From spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
Well I'm putting my heart back together,
'Cause I got over you.
Well I got over you.
I got over you.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

The Riddle - Five For Fighting

The way I interpret this song is very different - There's a reason for this world, Lord- It's You and I.

The Riddle

Band: Five For Fighting
Song: The Riddle
Album: Two Lights

There was a man back in '95
Whose heart ran out of summers
But before he died, I asked him

Wait, what's the sense in life
Come over me, Come over me

He said,
"Son why you got to sing that tune
Catch a Dylan song or some eclipse of the moon
Let an angel swing and make you swoon
Then you will see... You will see."

Then he said,
"Here's a riddle for you
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I..."

Picked up my kid from school today
Did you learn anything cause in the world today
You can't live in a castle far away
Now talk to me, come talk to me

He said,
"Dad I'm big but we're smaller than small
In the scheme of things, well we're nothing at all
Still every mother's child sings a lonely song
So play with me, come play with me"

And Hey Dad,
Here's a riddle for you
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...

I said,
"Son for all I've told you
When you get right down to the
Reason for the world...
Who am I?"

There are secrets that we still have left to find
There have been mysteries from the beginning of time
There are answers we're not wise enough to see

He said... You looking for a clue I Love You free...

The batter swings and the summer flies
As I look into my angel's eyes
A song plays on while the moon is hiding over me
Something comes over me

I guess we're big and I guess we're small
If you think about it man you know we got it all
Cause we're all we got on this bouncing ball
And I love you free
I love you freely

Here's a riddle for you
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...

 C                             Am           F
Part of me is the prodigal    Part of me is the other brother

But I think the heart of me is really somewhere between them

  C                           Am               F
Some days I'm running wild  Some days we're reconciled

                         Am                    F

 G             Am                 Bb                  C
I wrestle most days to find ways to do as I please

          C                               Am                   F
My longing heart, Your love alone can fill

                       G                      C
You always have   Always will


C                                   Am                F           
I was born with a wayward heart  Still I live with a restless spirit

C                                Am                 F                  
   Am     
My soul is so well worn  You'd think I'd have arrived by now

C                                         Am              F 
I'm caught in the trappings of  My search for a lasting love

I've made mistakes enough to last me a lifetime

     G           Am                 Bb              C
I still slip I still fall   But I'll always run back to You

                            Am
I'm gonna keep trusting You  I've seen what You've seen me through

             Bb
I'm goin' where You have gone  I'm letting You lead me on

All my days...always and forever

Chris Rice - On the Other Side of the Radio

OK, standard tuning in *E* Listen for the rythym. I think this is pretty dead
on, but if you think otherwise please email me Jerbo_83@hotmail.com (Have fun!!)

(Intro) D  A  D  A  D  A 

D                                   A 
Here I am on the other side of the radio

D                                                  A  
Wonderin' why I'm here and why any body cares what I say

D                                                          F#m
No I'm not a better man 'cause I'm singing my song on the radio

             E                   D  
Cause we're all the same at the end of the day

D                                           A
Now I imagine You on the other side of the radio

D                                                             A
Doing your homework or driving with your windows down on the freeway

D                                                              F#m
I see you tapping the wheel I see you bobbing your head to the radio

          E                         D
Oh and it makes my day to see that smile on your face

        E                D   E    D  E
And in some small way I remember my place

          A                      E
Cause its you and me singing the same song right now

F#m                        D
Maybe this will bring us together somehow

A                       E                  B
Maybe theres a million people all singing along

    A                      E
Somebody started thinking about the third line

    F#m                      D
And maybe someone's saying a prayer for the first time

     A                      E                  B
And thats enough reason to keep me singing my song

            D                  E                 A
Singing my songs on the other side of the radio


              D                                                A
Crank up the volume and sing at the top of your lungs with the radio

        D                                               A    
Tuning in to some good news and laughing along with the DJ

               D                                          F#m
We're changing somebodys world from the other side of the radio

           E                        D
Oh and it makes my day to see that smile on your face

(1) I just remembered that time at the market
snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart
and rolled down aisle five
you looked behind you to smile back at me
and crashed into a rack full of magazines
they asked us if we could leave

(2) I can't remember what went wrong last September
though I'm sure you'd remind me if you had to

our love was comfortable and so broken in

(1) I sleep with this new girl I'm still getting used to
my friends all approve,
say "she's gonna be good for you"
They throw me high fives
She says the Bible is all that she reads
and prefers that I not use profanity
Your mouth was so dirty

(2) Life of the party and she swears that she's artsy
but you could distinguish Miles from Coltrane

Our love was comfortable and so broken in
she's perfect
so flawless
(3) or so they say

Interlude (4)

She thinks I can't see the smile that she's faking
and poses for pictures that aren't being taken
(5) I loved you
grey sweatpants
no makeup
so perfect

(6) Our love was comfortable and so broken in
she's perfect
so flawless
(3)I'm not impressed
I want you back

Chicken Little - All I Know

Artist: FIVE FOR FIGHTING
Song Name: ALL I KNOW

I bruise you
you bruise me
we both bruise so easily
too easily to let it show
i love you, and thats all i know
-
and all my plans
keep fallin through
all my plans they
depend on you
depend on you
to help them grow
i love you
and thats all i know

when the singer's gone
let the song go on
there's a fine line between
the darkness and the dawn
-
they say in the darkest night
theres a light beyond
and the ending always
comes at last
endings always
come too fast
they come too fast
and they pass too slow
i love you
and thats all, its really all i know
its all i know

its all i know

Mercyme - Call Me CrAZy

Why I would I spend my life longing for the day that it would end..
Why would I spend my time pointing to another man..
Isn’t that crazy

How can I find hope in dying, with promises unseen..
How can I learn your way is better
In everything I’m taught to be..
Isn’t that crazy

I have not been called to the wisdom of this world..
But to a God who's calling out to me..
And even though the world may think
I'm losing touch with reality
It would be crazy
To choose this world over eternity

And if I boast let me boast
Of filthy rags made clean
And if I glory let me glory
In my Savior's suffering
Isn’t that crazy

And as I live this daily life
I trust you for everything
And I will only take a step
When I feel You leading me
Isn’t that crazy

I have not been called to the wisdom of this world..
But to a God who is calling out to me..
And even though the world my think
I'm losing touch with reality
It would be crazy
To choose this world over eternity

Call me crazy
You can call me crazy
Call me crazy

I have not been called to the wisdom of this world..
But to a God who is calling out to me..
And even though the world may think that
I'm losing touch with reality
It would be crazy, It would be crazy, It would be crazy
To choose this world over eternity

Isn’t That crazy..
Call me crazy
You can call me crazy
Call me crazy

Em          C
And that's just the start
G     D
Better than getting what I say I need
Em    C
Better than living the life that I want to
G     D
Better than the love anyone could give
Em   C
Your love is

Pre-Chorus:

G    Am       G
You hold me now in Your arms
C  D
And never let me go

Chorus:

G          D
You oh Lord make the sun shine
Em      C
And the moon light in the night sky
G       D
You give me breath and all Your love
Em     C
I give my heart to You because

G      D           Em
I can't stop falling in love with You
  C     G  
I'll never stop falling in love with You

Verse 1: I don't know where you lay your head, or where you call you
home.  I don't know where you eat your meals or where you talk on the
phone.  I don't if you got a cook, a butler, or a maid.  I don't know if
you got a yard with a hammock in the shade.
I don't know if you've got a place where you can run and hide.  I don't
know if you live with friends in whom you can confide.  I don't know if
you've got a family, say a mom or dad.  I don't know if you feel love at
all but I bet you wish you had.

Pre-chorus: Come and go with me, to my Father's house,
 Come and go with me, to my Father's house. 
Chorus:  It's a big, big house with lots and lots of room.
 A big, big table, with lots and lots of food.
 A big, big yard, where we can play football.
 It's a big, big house.  It's my Father's house.

Second verse:  I don't know of a bigger house, with rooms for everyone.
All I know is it's got lots of land, where we can play and run.  All I
know is that you're all alone, and I've got a family.  All I know is that 
you need love, so why not come with me?

Pre-chorus:  Come and go with me, to my Father's house.
 Come and go with me, to my Father's house.
Chorus:  It's a big, big house, with lots and lots of room.
 A big, big table, with lots and lots of food.
 A big, big yard, where we can play football.
 It's a big, big house.  It's my Father's house.

You can't live your life to please yourself, yeah

That's a tip from my mistake
D
Exactly what it doesn't take
G                                  Bm      A
To win you've got to come in last place.

From the many things that drag me down, yeah
Bm
I'm sure you've had a day like me

Where nothing seems to set you free
From the burdens you can't carry all alone

In your weakness He is stronger
In your darkness He shines through
When you're crying He's your comfort
When you're all alone He's carrying you

This valley is so deep
I can barely see the sun
I cry out for mercy Lord
And You lift me up again

Mark Schultz \ When You Come Home

My first day of recess
They all laughed at me
When I fell off the swing set
And scraped up my knee

The nurse called my Momma
To say I'd be late,
And when she gave me the phone
I could hear Momma say
"I'm so sorry, son.
Oh I think you're' so brave"

And she was smilin when she said:

When you come home,
No matter how far,
Run through the door
And into my arms
It's where you are loved,
It's where you belong
And I will be here
When you come home

I waved good-bye through the window
As I boarded the plane,
My first job in Houston
Was waiting for me

I found a letter from Momma
Tucked in my coat
And as I flew down the runway
I smiled when she wrote:
I'll miss you, son,
You'll be so far away

But I'll be waiting for the day

When you come home
No matter how far,
Run through the door
And into my arms
It's where you are loved,
It's where you belong,
And I will be here
When you come home

Well, I don't think
She can hear you now,
The doctor told me
Your mother is fading,
It's best that you leave

So I whispered,
I love you
And then turned away.
But I stopped at the door
When I heard Momma say,
I love you, son,
But they're callin me away

Promise me before I go

When you come home,
No matter how far,
Run through the door
And into my arms;
It's where you are loved,
It's where you belong,
And I will be here
When you come home,
When you come home.

Song: Letters From War

Lyrics :

She runs to the mailbox
On that bright summers day
Found a letter from her son
In a war far away

He spoke of the weather
And good friends that he'd made
Said I'd been thinking 'bout dad
And the life that he had
Thats why I'm here today
And that the end he said
You are what I'm fighting for
It was the first of the letters from war

She started writing

(Chorus)
You're good and you're brave
What a father that you'll be someday
Bring him home
Bring him safe

She wrote everynight as she prayed

Late in December
A day she'll not forget
Oh her tears stained the paper
With every word that she read

It said I was up on a hill
I was out there alone
When the shots all rang out
And bombs were exploding
And thats when I saw him
He came back to me
And though he was captured
A man set me free
And that man was your son

He asked me to write to you
I told him i would oh I swore
It was the last of the letters from war

And she prayed he was living
Kept on believing and wrote every night just to say

(Chorus)
You're good and you're brave
What a father that you'll be someday
Bring him home
Bring him safe

Then two years later
Autumn leaves all around
A car pulled in the driveway
And she fell to the ground
And out stepped a captain
Where her boy used to stand

Said mom I'm following orders
From all of your letters
And I've come home again
He ran into hold her
And dropped all his bags on the floor
Holding all of her letters from war

Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home



Mark Schultz \ Do You Even Know Me Anymore

“Its cold tonight”,
I heard her say.
She was staring out the window as I came home late.
She tried to smile,
But looked away.
Oh but I could see the tears were running down her face.
She said “You go to work,
You pay the bills,
I stay at home,
And I make the meals.

But you dont even know who I am anymore,
Youre a million miles away,
Though I see you every day.
And Ive been waiting right here,
Over all these years.
And sometimes I get so lonely,
I need to know you love me,
But do you even know me anymore?”

I turned around,
To see my son.
Well I remember his first birthday. Now hes 21.
I missed his life,
I missed it all,
Oh to him I was a man just living down the hall.
He said “I learned to live,
Without you Dad,
But Id give it all
Just to have you back.

But you dont even know who I am anymore.
I used to wait at all my games,
But still you never came,
And Ive been waiting right here,
Over all these years.
For the time you said youd owe me,
I wanted you to show me,
But do you even know me anymore?”

Ive watched my days,
Turn into years,
And now Im wondering how I wound up here.
I dreamed my dreams,
I made my plans,
But all I’ve built here is an empty man.

And I dont even know who I am anymore.
God Im praying through the tears,
Let me make up all these years.
Oh have I waited too long?
Can I start again?
To be the man Youve wanted of me.
Im begging You to show me,
But do You even know me anymore?



Mark Schultz \ He's My Son

I'm down on my knees again tonight
I'm hoping this prayer will turn out right
See there is a boy that needs Your help
I've done all that I can do myself
His mother is tired
I'm sure You can understnad
Each night as he sleeps
She goes in to hold his hand
And she tries not to cry
As the tears fill her eyes

CHORUS:
Can You hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can You see him?
Can You make him feel all right?
If You can hear me
Let me take his place somehow
See, he's not just anyone
He's my son

Sometimes late at night I watch him sleep
I dream of the boy he'd like to be
I try to be strong and see him through
But God who he needs right now is You
Let him grow old
Live life without this fear
What would I be
Living without him here
He's so tired and he's scared
Let him know that You're there

CHORUS

Can You hear me?
Can You see him?
Please don't leave him
He's my son
