September is for Frothers, January is for Lovers from Russell Brownley on Vimeo.

I have this tiny crush on Joel Timothy Houston as you know. (Ok who am I kidding? I get palpitations when I'm in the same country as him.) So when Glenny sent this AMAZING video of Joel's 30th birthday surf trip in Indonesia last year, I was beyond ecstatic. Its just soooo cute to hear all his buddies say all these wonderful, heartfelt things about him. Awwww!! *total Fluffy moment*

Oopss!!

On msn this morning @ the office:
============================
Mich (to Cheryl who's in a meeting somewhere else): Hungweee!!
Cheryl: Ok, will tell you when we're going for lunch. We're all looking at your msg btw.
Mich: OMG OMG!! Who is everyone??
Cheryl: Cass, Thomas, Eve, Freddy...Thomas says yr msg is on a 58 inch screen. (They're basically the Technical & Production staff team in church)
Mich: Ooopss!!! *super malu* Err...I go eat cheezels first.
Cheryl: Cass says enjoy! haha!

Just before we go for lunch @ the office:
===================================
Uncle Freddy: Hungweee?? :)

Poured Out For You

Today, was a costly lesson in Psalm 27:6,

"And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD."

"I Have Loved You Wrong" by The Swell Season

A haunting performance by Marketa Irglova & Glen Hansard. Its an interesting change as Marketa is usually on piano and Glen, the passionate and emo Irish troubadour, is usually shredding wood on his beat-up guitar. Who would have thought Glen Hansard could play the piano so lyrically. For clearer audio, go here.

Tea & Company

After a short meeting in church on Labour Day, I headed down to Tea Cozy @ Plaza Sing to meet up with crazy Steph. I said she looked kinda Ugly Betty-ish with her new specs and braces. She didn't get my comment cos she has never seen the show, so it made her kinda upset until I spent some time reassuring her I DID NOT think she was actually ugly. haha!

Everything at Tea Cozy is for sale...including all the angels and teddies etc. you see. A pretty place for a cuppa with a good fren. It was kinda pricey though...$50 for the scones; foie gras (Steph ordered it. I did not touch it!); baked mushrooms and drinks that we ordered.

I love love love the wee little rocking horses. Wish I could get me one for my room. :)

Blackmail

So Thomas was talking to me on gmail chat about Jennifer Knapp...you know, Christian Artiste who has recently come out of the closet. And then I made this comment about Brooke Fraser, and look what he did!!! SABO!

Psalm

Lord grant me hope in my darkest hour
For I cannot see beyond my cloud of tears.
Every breath is painfully laboured,
And each step wearies my soul.
Deliver me from my sorrow,
Lest I collapse from its crushing weight.

My God, Abba Father,
The Author and the Finisher of my faith,
You hold my life in Your hands.
Do not forget nor forsake me,
Hear my desperate cry,
And come quickly to my rescue.

Keep this heart beating for Your Kingdom’s sake.
Heal my wounds with Your love,
And restore the ruins of my heart.
Strengthen my broken spirit,
Floodlight my life with Your hope,
And keep me safe in the centre of Your will.

Train Wreck

What do we do during the train wrecks of our lives?

"I'm hanging on another day
Just to see what you will throw my way
And I'm hanging on to the words you say
You said that I will be okay.

Broken lights on the freeway
Left me here alone
I may have lost my way now
Haven't forgotten my way home"
- 'Broken' by Lifehouse

Quips

Dawnie on how to choose a cell:
==========================
Aiyah...I told myself, next to circle line, got nice people. Can oredi! So fussy for what?

Glenn on vocal lessons:
====================
Glenn says: I dun like my tone, how to improve ah? Drink juice? Oil? Milk? Tar?
Michelle: Change your placement. Ask your Hillsong vocal coach to help u.
Glenn says: I'm working on my placement now. Like it's I am working on the hardest. Imagining an egg in my mouth everytime I sing. Makes me wanna laugh the whole time. What if i crack the egg and get yolk on my pretty shirt?
Mich: hahhaha!

"Saving Grace" by Hillsong United

As the waters cover the sea,
So your love covers me
Guiding me on,
Roads unknown
I trust in you alone

Chorus:
My saving grace
My endless love
Deeper and deeper I'm falling in love with You
My one desire
My only truth
Deeper and deeper I'm falling in love with You

Bridge
And i will rise on wings of eagles
Soaring high above all my fears
I rest in your open arms of love
