Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning stars
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours
Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Who would look on me with love
And watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still you hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours

Need advice...
Dear streamies,
just a little issue I want to consult the rest of you; please comment frankly as I'll take everything in good stride =)
as some of you know, I'm organizing the FIT Games Day to be held on the 18th of March. As such, I have had to approach a range of people and ask if they would like to be a team captain for the games. Knowing that I will not get a 100% response, I normally will send to more people then I need, hoping that the number of positive responses I get will be enough to fill the vacant roles.
This has been bugging me for a while and I'm not sure is it because of my own eccentricities or what. This isn't the first time where I have had to SMS/email people for help or for them to settle administrative duties and I have receieved few or no responses at all. Is it just me who is so unlucky to always receive this sort of non-response or has the rest of you experienced this as well?
Personally, I understand that people are very busy and have their own things to do; as such, sometimes we forget to reply or forget to do what is required of us. This I totally understand as I have forgotten myself on some occasions as well. However, the number of non-responses I'm getting does not indicate occasional forgetfulness but more along the lines of a lack of manners and poor etiquette. If one cannot do something or has no time, a simple 'no' or something along those lines is perfectly fine in indicating your position but a complete silence is annoying because the person who is sending out the SMSes/emails doesn't know if you have received the message or not, or whether you are ok for it or not.
I'm considering sending out a scathing email that is not targetted at anyone in particular but as a general reminder to the CYM population regarding how they they handle their emails/SMSes is rather indicative of their own character. If someone can't give a (insert preferred analogy) about replying their messages, regardless of its importance, I think it tells us alot about that person.
Am I being petty here or do I have a point? Please advice on how I should go about this situation or even comment on what your views are on this.
Thanks!

Joke of the Day
hey guys
terrible week so I guess some humor ought to brighten things up; ever how the minds of different degree holders work?
The graduate with a science degree asks, "Why does it work?" The
Graduate with an engineering degree asks, "How does it work?" The
Graduate with an accounting degree asks, "How much will it cost?"
The Graduate with an arts degree asks, "Do you want fries with that?"
to all the arts degree holders (who are the overwhelming majority), only kidding ya ;)
cheers

Hola!
Hola! :D Hope you guys are doing fine and well! :D I have a test in 1.5 hours and hehe I am online. (Shows how I am relaxed eh?)
Anyway, time really passes so fast and I am going to back home in 2 months time! And yups just a prayer request and that is I will draw closer to God these next few months here! Because I feel myself distancing away from God amidst all these fun and all that! So yeps gracias!
Hasta Pronto!

A Glimpse of Hope
The story continues...
The dude waits, going on with his life as usual. One day he was online and saw the girl came online. So he said 'hello'. Usually the girl would be busy preparing meals or doing something else, but today she was abit more free so both started to have a short conversation online....
Then she said: "Thanks so much for the book.Did you get my sms?"
The dude was like..."no, but it's ok..."
For that moment the dude felt relieved...he wondered what was in the sms though...
