Were and Are..

When I came to Singapore 13 years ago..
I had one thing in mind. To look for Noriko Sakai's CDs and photo albums.

She was still quite popular back then, though not the most popular one.
She never was. Although she had quite a number of faithful fans. Like me.

And today.. the only thing you hear about her... is the news that she is jailed,
for using drugs. Sigh.. how things change.

And then there is this not-so-famous singer-actress Stella Ng.
I think she made it into some movies few years back.
And was in the videoclip for Meteor Garden's OST (by Harlem Yu).

Today?
The latest news is that she is being sued for bankruptcy by Awfully Chocolate.
But no need to pity her.. because she is not a bankrupt at all.
Her 'Black as Chocolate' cake stores are doing great in Taiwan. She is most likely a millionaire now. Found her news here

Not bad at all.. she wouldn't have made that much if she were to stay with mediacorp, competing with Jeanette Aw, Felicia Chin, etc.

Noriko Sakai and Stella Ng.. both have the look but not so much of the whole package thing to become A-list celebrities.

But what a difference in their life story.

I hope I would see Noriko Sakai complete her life journey in much better way.
And I hope all of us here would finish this race well.
It's not how we started and where we are now that matters.
It's how we finish.

Good things

Good things happen recently ^^ Not so much for me though lol. Well, my NUS fren got engaged last week. She has been with her boyfriend for quite a while. Both are genius.. congratz2... Then yesterday was the most shocking one... coz I always thought all was just jokes.. congratz to the two FA frens of me. Surely love works in the most unpredictable ways. Of course the previous couple from FA was also shocking to me for different reason haha. Anyway, glad to see them happy. I dunno if Friday's dinner is gonna be good thing but I know that this is really going nowhere. Sigh.. so it seems that we are going nowhere while the others have moved on. Anyway, was having a great FA session last night. Eve shared on how God used her the night before to help cast out demons for her friend. So she was sleeping over her friend's house, they were chatting till almost 3 AM and then the topic became serious and her friend wanted to be set free from the devil spirit inside her. At first Eve was ...

song of the phoenix

Hindarkan aku dari murkaMu ya Allah, sembunyikan aku dari geramMu yang menyala-nyala sesungguhnya dalam kesalahan aku dikandung, dan dalam pelanggaran aku diperanakkan, dan dengan dosa aku bergumul sepanjang hariku tulang-tulangku serasa remuk oleh gentar, dan hatiku sungguh hancur mengingat dukaMu jangan palingkan wajahMu ya Allah, jangan biarkan rohMu yang kudus beranjak dariku siapakah aku ya Tuhan, hingga layak akan belas kasihMu namun itu yang kupinta, kuberanikan meminta, maka dengarlah jeritku ya gunung batuku sekali lagi, ulurkan tangan kanan Mu angkatlah aku dari debu dan abu sekali lagi, hembuskan nafas hidup Mu bangkitkan aku dari jurang maut Hades nyalakan sekali lagi, api kudus Mu yang menghanguskan noda cela ku sampai habis biar sekali lagi bibir ini layak berkata, terpujilah Engkau ya Allah ku yang hidup *dari chapter 'daud dan batsyeba'
