Rainbow.

Wow!

I had a hectic day today. But I am glad cos I see the providence of God and His miraculous works in people's life.

Let me begin in my 'new' CG;

I joined the '82s for Cg two weeks ago. We went to the new Hort Park to venture the new link park thingy. It was raining and at one point the rain is really heavy. We were drenched. Thankfully most of us had umbrellas! Some fell because of slippery ground. I think we all had great and good fun. We ended the CG with dinner at Vivo's foodcourt. The prawn mee is good, I can feel my stomach rumbling now. After that Charis amd myself went to Yishyan's farewell gathering at WEC. A really eventful day.



I joined thier CG again yesterday. I admit I have some reservation about attending cos I didnt really inform, except Charis and Siyang invited me. But I trust in the lord and I went. Upon reaching T21, Prime Cars was releasin some colourful balloons up to the sky, I dunno why, but this appears to me to be a covenant from God. Promises of God. I went so I am blessed. I was awe-struck and I relish on God's beautiful promises. As usual i enjoy CG. And I did share this experience with Charis and some others. I think its also a very special event cos it's Ryan's first CG with 82, and Kaiwei was there!

Today we had our first meeting for the 'Siyang project'! We are committing the whole of next week for recording. The four of us, Siyang, Bihua, Kaisiong and myself had a nice time sharing and going through all the details. We are actually running out of time but we are thankful for we can serve. So ppl please pray for us!

Recording is gonna start tomorrow. This is exciting. All the hokkien songs we have to learn, all the chords and noted we have to practice, all the time we are gonna spend, this is indeed better than many things!

I will continue to blog on our progress. And if I can find time, describe more on the nature of the project itself.

I want to thank Kaiwei, for she wishes me Happy Teachers' Day.
Her message:

Shifu! Sorry i forgot to bring ur teachers day card! Haha but ur not forgotten for being the best shifu on earth ya! Haha happy teacher's day :):)

Thank you for remembering Tudi. Really appreciate it.

I will continue to update! Please pray for us! Pray for the old folks we are trying to reach out to!

Elysian Fields

In a short couple of months, the add-ons in life seem tremendous. I have been juggling with some of unfamiliar stuff. And some familiar ones too.

I have missed blogging some major events of the year. I will let all that past, knowing I did enjoy the process and time.

Something killed the old band. People, time, things that happened, relationship. Things are not the same. Different ideas, different directions. Different people.


Work has been very complexly flexible. It's really scary.

The idea of running around everyday...freetime with a clause, seems unreal. At the end of the day will i bring substantiall dough back home.

Some symphonic names: Joe. Flamethrower Buddy. Bowel. Drums. Tudi( thanks for the strat pencil sharpener!). JOY.

The 'Siyang project' is due for recording this week. Let's see if anything special comes out of it. This one brings about an interest in classical acoustic. And truly has been very inspirational by far. Musically, I have been on a rollercoster ride for years. I lost alot of myself, but also did gain some new 'self', if you will. This one is has back to basic, down to earth kind of vibe around it. I really find great aesthetic pleasure in it. May God be glorify.

I have not answers to ad for bands all these years, actually I did once, but didn't went for the audition.

Found a band which does covers. Crossing my fingers as I am not sure what I am getting into. Seems like a motley crew to me. I do hope I find the right one. We will see.

Last but not least, let's welcome the newest addition to my barrage of instruments. The elusive Drums itself.

Pearl target series, with two add on toms, a 7 piece beauty. Wine red, happens to be my fav colour at this point. Tons of hardware and cymbals. And the terror of the corridor....! *Thunder*
