i'm getting much more readings . . .

. . . all thanks to the references and bibliography of the readings given by my professor.

it's fantastic how just by reading the reference section of a paper, you can easily retrieve so many more papers that you need. they are like a chain. you got new paper means you got new references. they grow fast. i don't know whether i can finish all my readings that i dig through just now. it's fantastic.

and nus library has a damn good facility for paper searching. please! online!! imagine that! hahaha! sounds crazy, am i? everything is online now, isn't it? but still. rather than going to the library and digging all those proceedings to some conferences here and there, you can simply search everything online. love!

my p2p readings just piled to an enormous 100 pages. all to be done by tomorrow latest. this is so impressive!

my project proposal so far has 13 references already. and that's like good enough for a project reference.

not to mention i finished writing my 5000-word research paper on monday. so happy! that paper is especially crazy. i had like 20 plus references. a few books borrowed from library, some papers downloaded from dance research journal and other sources. it's just crazy. oh, and wikipedia! the best! heh!

i hope that paper can give me an A. pretty please. i really need that sorely missing A grade this semester, otherwise, my cap will really plunge into darkness. ah, and this project proposal, if well constructed, may well be my saving grace. hopefully netting a B+ (or, hope against hope, an A-).

there is another module with high chance of an A. but oh well, that one is very difficult to predict. so let's leave that module alone.

oh gosh. this semester isn't as bad as i thought before. thank God for everything!

played badminton with weiling and a guy with a difficult chinese name (shan't write it here for fear of getting it wrong). cheerleading training for half an hour, managed 5 sets of 10 toss-ups (i think some of those 50 toss-ups are already in toss-up/jerks class).

then there was cg. oh, what a wonderful day.

I Offer My Life
Don Moen

(Verse 1)
All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before you, oh Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaims
The joy and the pain, I'm making them yours

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

(Verse 2)
Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my heart, alll of my praise
My heart and my hands are lifted to you

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

(Bridge)
What can we give
That you have not given?
And what do we have
That is not already yours?
All we possess
Are these lives we're living
That's what we give to you, Lord

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life
Lord I offer you my life

Open Your Mind
Mirai
Gensomaden Saiyuki

moshimo ima subete ga umaku nante ikanai
makesou ni naru toki datte
hitomi wo tojireba kokoro kara
ekai ga miete kuru

In this world when life can be so tough
You must be strong
Just believe in yourself and don't you fear
So open up your mind and close your eyes
Take another look from the other side

kodoku na yoru demo mayoi osoreru toki mo
ima wa hitori demo kono ashi de doko made mo
aruite ikeru hazu dakara

Just hold on tight hitomi tojita nara
Look inside yourself kagayaki ga aru kara
Yes, subete shinjite hoshii
You can take another look from the other side

Just hold on tight kokoro kujikete mo
Reach into your soul ashita ga mienakute mo
Yes, ikiru tsuyosa ga areba
You can take another look from the other side
ai no subete ni deau made...

kono sekai de ikinuite-iku tame no tsuyosa wo
anata ni negatte-iru kara
kokoro no tobira wo hiraitara
nanika ga miete kuru

Just remember you are not alone
So don't you fear
Even though you're miles away
I'm by your side
So open up your mind and close your eyes
I'll be there for you no matter where you are

hoshi no inochi nara nagai kedo itsu made mo
onaji kono hibi ga kurikaesu wake ja nai
ashita wa dare ni mo mienai

Just hold on tight hitomi tojita nara
Look inside yourself kodou kanjiru kara
Yes, "MIRAI" shinjite hoshii
You can take another look from the other side

Just hold on tight kokoro kujikete mo
Reach into your soul ashita ga mienakute mo
Yes, chigau sekai ga atte
You can take another look from the other side
ai no subete ni deaeru yo...
