Five Loaves and Two Fishes - Corrinne May
A little boy of thirteen
was on his way to school
He heard a crowd of people laughing
and he went to take a look
Thousands were listening
to the stories of one man
He spoke with such wisdom,
even the kids could understand
The hours passed so quickly
the day turned to night
Everyone was hungry
but there was no food in sight
The boy looked in his lunchbox
at the little that he had
He wasn't sure what good it'd do
there were thousands to be fed
But he saw the twinkling eyes of Jesus
the kindness in His smile
and the boy cried out
with the trust of a child
he said:
"Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
to feed them all"
I often think about that boy
when I'm feeling small
and I worry that the work I do
means nothing at all
But every single tear I cry
is a diamond in His hands
and every door that slams in my face
I will offer up in prayer
So I'll give you every breath that I have
Oh Lord, you can work miracles
All that you need is my "Amen"
Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
I hope it's not too small
I trust in you
I trust in you
Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
no gift is too small

i want to fly
far far away.
i want to go to london and see the big ben,
paris to see the eiffel tower,
africa to see the lions and cheetahs,
lahu to see my dear friends,
venice to see the waterways,
the amazon to see the forest,
down under to see kangaroos,
new zealand to see kiwis,
and last but not least,
i want to go to JAPAN,
to see everything.
okay, that was just random.
but then again i'm really pining to go overseas now.
yes, now, so that i can get my mind some rest.
and so that i can escape from this miserable life that's bugging me.
well okay, so my life's not that bad.
but let's just say that i don't exactly adore it right now.
not while the prelim results are coming out tomorrow,
not while my Os are less than a month away,
and not while my whole entire family is looking my way to find out how i did.
i need some breathing space man.
ohyeah, and the fact that my going to lahu depends on my prelim results isn't helping either.
the JC talks on friday were a waste of time.
okay maybe i shan't be so critical, but it was useless to me.
except ACJC's, which succeeded in getting me worked up into going there again.
and just when i thought that i finally kissed the dilema on whether to go to JC or poly goodbye.
but after getting all hyped up, reality hit me again.
so, poly, here i come.
though i must commend ACJC's talk because they were the only JC that didn't suck up to us.
it was rather stupid to listen to all the others try to sweet talk us,
but ACJC once again has lived up to its standards.
unique, and different.
its really a pity that i shan't be going to ACJC,
after spending my whole life dreaming about the day when i can officially call myself an ACSian.
but ohwell that day will never come.
its quite depressing, actually.
but then again in order to pursue my even bigger dream,
i shall lay down sacrifices to become the best veterinarian ever.
okay maybe that's a tad too much but yeah.
national geographic, here i come! HAH.
almost died from boredom due to today's career talks.
the medicine talk was not bad though but none applied to me.
so yaaawwn, i was bored.
and it was absolute torture sitting down the whole time.
my poor butt is still sore from all the hours of sitting down.
and we're still going to be sitting down all day for the next 2 days,
so i'm not looking forward to anything.
i was really amused today, though, by a particular person in school.
apparently we couldn't discuss about relavant topics and were told off.
okay, fine, maybe we did make a bit too much of noise.
but i don't think you're allowed to use your handphone and text people in the middle of a talk.
set a good example, man.
the funniest part was the supposed scolding.
i had a really strong impulse to jump up and shout "SIR YES SIR!"
made me feel like i was in NS or something.
sir.
tried really hard to contain my laughter.
lining up outside in twos? unheard of.
filz and gc just walked off without being noticed
and everyone else stood outside the room in a complete mess.
okay, so we amused the old man and lined up in twos,
but "okay, bring them to the canteen" was a tad too much.
and everyone broke file and stalked off.
hah, loser.
it was really quite nice to see cedarians finally being defiant.
and i hope that showed him that we're not idiots who obey everything.
'cos we're not. we've got brains to think and rationalise with.
HAHA.
badminton tomorrow with pat.
ahhhhh.
i just love his smile, his laughter, his voice, his everything.
sounds stupid but whenever i see his smile and hear his voice,
it never fails to bring a smile to my face.
and my day is immediately brightened.
