Scott Stapp Solo

Scott Stapp of Creed fame just released a new album. Entitled The Great Divide, the feature MTV for the song The Great Divide was pretty cool. Apparently this album is his most spiritual up till day ever since he left Creed. Some said that the reason for the breaking up of Creed was that the band mates couldn't get along with Scott, or rather, his latest spiritual renewal which he aptly put in a recent song that "...i need the Son to raise my head" (Relearn Love - Songs inspired by The Passion of the Christ)

I'm really glad for this sudden turn of events in Scott's life. I'd always been a Creed fan, constantly jamming out their all time hits like "Take Me Higher", "One Last breath (My favorite)" and of coz how can we ever forget "My Sacrifice", which i jammed one day and my friend thought that i was playing a Christian song! Even though Creed has effectively broken up, with the main musicians forming a new band called Alter Bridge (they do have pretty neat stuff) and Scott Stapp going singles. His debut single Relearn Love wasn't that fantastic, but i guess it was acceptable, since it was his first song written out of Creed context.


Relearn Love
On a dark and lonely highway
I need the Son to raise my head
I come before you, I am naked...
The man I am now must be shed
I've weathered storms and I am broken
My beaten heart is in your hands
What I really need is shelter
And a chance to relearn love

(chorus)

Teach me all over, all over
To relearn love
Show me again…
So I can relearn love

The comfort of your arms around me
Your tender hands caress my head
I lay beside you I'm not worthy
This jaded man's not who I am
I touched the flame and I've been burned
All I need's a second chance
Give me eyes of a child
And teach this man to relearn love

Teach me all over, all over
To relearn love
Show me again…

To relearn love
Teach me all over, all over
To relearn love
Show me again...

So I can relearn love

I was selfish, but you still love me
You gave the greatest gift of all
And it set me free

When time means nothing
And your world is standing still
Listen world he's calling
When you feel me drop and kneel

This song does have an uncanny ability to linger in your head. I guess that's a good thing, since i myself constantly needed to "relearn love" all the time. I'm hoping that one day i can achieve the ability to belt out rock anthems the way Scott does it.

And oh, it's the Chinese New Year once again! And due to our hardwork in camp for our Ops Assessment and ex. Diamond Shield, we get to have this coming wed off, and Valentine's Day off. Cool eh?

Of coz it's cool. We worked really hard to get it. And guess whats' the best thing, this is considered as a priviledge, not an entitlement.

This is indeed NS

National Slavery

And i spent the whole of today packing my room, clearing all the junk, and hunting down every single ant colony that decided to spread it's idea of Imperialism among my stuff. It was a war of extermination as i made sure that there were no alternate life form other than human beings. I had to dig out all my CDs to clean and arrange them nicely, and the process does bring back some good old, if more innocent, periods of my life. Eventually i spent the whole day packing, cleaning, car wash including polish. And now i'm super tired.

But my mom refuses to let me sleep, due to some old superstition that the later the kids sleep, the longer life the parents have.

interesting theory.
