piano in pieces:)

"keep an open mind when you hear. the intonation of a plainsong composition of melodic keys churned out from the intentions of the composer. every beat settled on time. the variations strummed the strings to your heart. you listened a little harder coz his music seemed to orchestrate his story. his story beaming seemingly yet he teared as he punched down every key denoted. the sonata ends. everyone applauded in appreciation. you didnt applaud. instead you stood there among the applause hoping that the pianist's will share his story in full for you to truly appreciate and present the appropriate round of applause." :)

a pianist. his own.

one movie caught!:)

kicked start the day with my quest to acquire my "chiong-suar" black casio watch at bugis street. bought at $18 after a bargaining attempt. retailed: $18.90. haha:D persuasive bargaining skill +1. then headed to the flea market behind sim lim. and saw the exact casio watch retailing at $8. slapped my forehead. and consoled myself with a magnolia (which ripped me off..$3). gees. soon i realised the hole in my pocket just turned into a black hole. went to draw $40. determined to enjoy the public holiday, went to the diocesan family day at SAC. people from every other anglican church were there. for SACM, we had a "slipper soccer" stall. haha! zero running cost, max. entertainment value. people enjoyed flicking slippers into the various levels of hula hoops to win a prize. haha! later, caught a movie "tokyo sonata" with teow at picturehouse. first row from the screen. we're super zai. coz thru out the movie we "tahan" the 2hrs with our heads tilted up, right. the movie was fantastic laH! a touch of piano somemore. plus point for me:D we discussed abt the happenings and the significance. director is just ..beyond brilliant. on our way back, chatted abt teow's upcoming short film. check it out people! uprising young director..teow. seriously, teow is gifted. and i'm appreciative that i've an opinion that i can share. :)

pray for God's guidance for me as i continue another week. and a obedient heart to listen to His word and mediate on them faithfully. :) anything i can pray for? :))

a typical breed. :)

WHEE!! i'm back. its been 2 freaking weeks. feels like i've just been released from a double-locked cage...i'm free like a chirping chick, sprinting everywhere but to nowhere:D ahh~ so many happenings. start with my cage. it was the second day into their enlistment, boyboy was happily eating his lunch till unfortunate event one happened. he sneezed...no mucus but a dislocated jaw. yups! ("like that also can" right?) i stunned lah.. he was like "arh~ sar~ eeze~ gaw~ dop~" it took me awhile to figure out..."i sneeze, jaw drop". next was 3 boyboys got fever then given MC to go home but chose to stay... (-.-)" its either they are lovin' it or they owe loan sharks money outside. hahaha:D this wasnt the most extreme. boyboy z's received news that grandma passed away. given 3 days compassionate leave. but chose to stay. later decided to at least attend the wake. gees! siao lah. so far it has been fun for me. being an elder brother to them instead of an instructor. nice to see this breed of human species. witty and funny.

SUNDAY! :D caught the "dead sea scrolls" exhibition with sunday school kids. hahaha. i think they found it a little boring. for me, it was good background knowledge of the times then. treated my sunday schools kids to macdonald's. their faces most certainly litted like a star with the widest grin from ear to ear. talked to a couple of them. glad that all, in general consensus, agreed that studying sucks. and thomas dislikes his math teacher coz she keeps scolding him. oh wells. its a phase in life. later in the afternoon, baptism class. (1) "why do we pray?" since God knows what is in our hearts already (2) "why pray specifics?" --coz by praying and praying specifically, we open our hearts to Him and talk to Him, building a relationship with Him! :) like a son to his father. after the lesson, went to lan gaming session with my cell group for 3hrs. Left 4 Dead. with a tinge of Dota. :) YAY!! tmr is a public holiday! :) which means...i've to return to the cage. a leashed chick after all. :(

what are we now truly? coz i feel like an ugly duckling.

I believe in your victory:)

"do you think that there is always a positive intention behind every behaviour or action?" i believe so. i'll give the benefit of the doubt. :) here is a sharing i would love to share. its about being judgemental. its always good to be opinionated. to have a voice of your own. but if the opinion is verbalised and worse of, is a negative remark about a person, i guess that's wrong. a negative perceived image of this person is formulated in your mind and likely, this person becomes a question mark. his reputation, blemished a little. lesson is, dont judge/assume. why not speak of the beauty of the person? what happened to building each other up and speaking the truth in love? :) interesting findings this week.

anyhows, i need God to shower me with His guidance, patience and love for my men who will be coming this friday! excited!! :D

how are you? :) coz i want to tell you, "i'm great! i'm living well. learning. growing like a petunia! haha. i cut my hair. tmr i'm graduating from my course. might be sneaking into BSF. read james2 (i agree that faith cannot work without works). men coming in this friday. will be confined this week till 19sept. will be visiting the "dead sea scrolls" exhibition on 20sept with my sunday school kids. miss you quite alot. i believe God is working in our lives! keep shining! do you have any prayer requests?.."
