Hope abounds.

happy birthday kenneth!
wishing you the best year yet, and may all good things overtake you speedily. :)

had a math test earlier on, and well, i can't say much. but i really do think that i require much-needed help for the subject. i admit i haven't been diligent in studying, in fact, i have been lackadaisical towards it. dad got me a new tutor, he'll be popping by this saturday, and i hope i'll be able to make good use of the help. wish me all the best!

the coleridge test was arduous, with me trying to come up with more words than usual. Mrs. Teo had already marked a1's essays by the afternoon, and apparently many were disappointed. wonder how i did. anyway, let's not be discouraged, ok? the all-important and determining exams is what counts. so let's strive for that! :)

trying to cut down on spending excessively; such a big appetite i have. some say the volume i consume is startling. hmm. with many imminent birthdays and overdue birthday presents, i really should start saving (oh ken don't worry, i did pay for yours! ;]). and there's the missions fund too. one cent less for me equals one more for someone in need elsewhere in the world!

i'm real glad that my brother has matured somewhat, he seems to be softer and more personable after our recent short chat sessions. i sincerely hope he'll do well, and yes, get his 'wings' by 2009. all the best kor! :P

to all reading this, whoever you may be, whether or not i know you, i'll say a prayer for you, and hope that you'll prosper in everything you undertake.

be blessed! :)

SINGAPORE: A song to inspire Singaporeans to play a part towards helping others in our community.

That is what Sun Ho hopes to achieve with a new track titled "Reach Out With Love".

The track was written for this year's President's Challenge Charity drive and was a collaborative effort between local and American producers.

The tune was composed by Mr Goh Kheng Long, who has produced many chart toppers in the Asian region.

The lyrics were written jointly by Ms Joy Balakrishnan, wife of Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, and famed American songwriter Mr Jud Friedman.

Most people will remember Mr Jud Friedman for the song "Run to You", sung by Whitney Houston in the film "The Bodyguard".

"Reach Out With Love" will be played at the various President's Challenge 2004 events, mostly during the period between 27 August and 12 September. - CNA
