Mixed Rasa
felt like breaking out of here!
Still wondering when the green lights going to light up
at the cross-road junction.
Aaahh.. time for teh tarik* again;
it's percolating period for now.
It's good to have a selah time,
but then some don't understand,
that until my
sabbath season passes, i'm constrained
but then some don't understand,
that until my
sabbath season passes, i'm constrained
to wait,
till He lifts His hand off of me,
then i can be
released into the
next season.

"I will wait upon the lord
wait upon the lord
as I wait I keep my eyes on him
I wait to be restored
For I seek his holy touch
his anointing fills my cup
i will wait,
till he lifts me up..."

Son's School Grades (Fall'09)
Lionel made it at #32 out of 34 in class! At least, after one-month-plus of studies, he wasn't the last @ #34, so... NOT bad at all =)
His classmates were rooting for him, kept calling out "Liang Jian, Liang Jian" as the teacher, Ms Lok, went down the list from di shi ji pai hao... that was sweet.
Result:
Malay 29%
Mandarin 35%
Kexue (Chinese Science) 35%
Shuxue (Chinese Math) 49%
Daode (Moral) 56%
Math (in Eng) 85%
Science 88%
English 96%
Well, now I know where he clearly needs to work on during this school hols. And I know he is getting happier & not so bored (his euphemism for being overwhelmed) these days.
Can't help control the amount of homework, but can at least coach him on. Quite proud of son, actually, for facing the giant of local school system. And so grateful to God for providing him with kind, helpful teachers and nice classmates!
Liang Jian, Jiayou!

Noa!
Found this lovely singer's website & blog. Noa is a lovely Israelite singer with a delectable voice. Love her!
NOA
A SINGER/SONGWRITER OF YEMENITE/ISRAELI/AMERICAN ORIGINS.
mother of 2, musician, married to dr. asher barak
more onWWW.NOASMUSIC.COM
"Known in Israel by her given name Achinoam Nini, Noa is Israel's leading international concert and recording artist. Born in Tel- Aviv in 1969, Noa lived in NYC from age 2 until her return to Israel alone at the age of 17. Her family is originally from Yemen. After serving the mandatory two years in the Israeli Army in a military entertainment unit, Noa studied music at the Rimon School where she met her long-time partner and collaborator Gil Dor.
Noa's strongest influences come from the singer-songwriters of the 60s, like Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. These musical and lyrical sensibilities, combined with Noa's Yemenite roots and Gil Dor's strong background in Jazz, Classical and Rock, have created Noa and Gil's unique sound, manifested in hundreds of songs written and performed together. Noa plays percussion, guitar and piano. She is married to Dr. Asher Barak, they have two children, Ayehli and Enea, and live in Israel."
Truly admire her tenacious courage to sing for peace in the midst of the Arab-Isreali conflict.
Another new discovery (at least for me!), she sang the theme song ~ Beautiful That Way ~ for the italian, Roberto Benigni-produced movie, Life Is Beautiful!

Another fantastic song on peace.
It's called Shalom, Shalom.

Outlook
What happened on Sunday evening, you may ask?
Mashed my spectacles (yup, the good old-fashioned word) with my bottom and had to get a new pair of 'eyes'. Sb thought it's a deliberate act.
Gives a new meaning to "getting a fresh outlook on life". Still waiting though, bcos can't find old pair whilst waiting for the new.
In the meantime, Ctrl+ helps to turn online stuff into old-folksy large-print pages.
Trying not to read so much...
