Quote of the day

“Responsibility is the thing people dread most of all,”

says actor and author Frank Carne,

“yet it is the one thing in the world that develops us — gives us manhood or womanhood fiber.”

Taugehs

I just realized a couple of minutes ago that my last post wasn't posted. Haha!

As a follow-on, there was no taugeh to read and much to my relief, Missy who owns the taugehs took over the song.
And unfortunately, I spilled a little communion on Judy. Bless her! So glad though that the droplet fell on to the middle of a key instead of between keys.
So there I was panicking, trying to wipe the droplet off which made my finger wet instead and I had to keep on playing still which meant the other keys were getting abit wet as well....AND....in the midst of all that, I can hear the person who handed me the communion giggling at my predicament!!!

Me thinks me don't like to read taugehs for worship songs.
And it is probably due to influences reminding me to FEEL the songs.
How do you play based on FEEL if everything is already laid down in exactness right before your eyes?
How do you get your brain that absorbs all the taugehs to co-work with your heart that FEELs and get yourself together?
How? How? How?

Me understand why taugeh songbooks are created, it helps musicians to get everything right.
But what is the point of being right, if you are going to end up memorizing and concentrating on the taugehs and in the process forget about The One you are worshipping. Or if you have the taugehs all embedded into your brain and it turns auto pilot? That is so pointless.

Me will study taugehs if you ask me to, for the sake of understanding the dynamics they developed when they launched the song. For the sake of expanding my pattern-making bank. For the sake of getting the feel of the song. For His sake.

But Me might just burn the songbook if you ask me to play taugeh by taugeh.

Mist at the Dam

It was awesome being in the mist.

It was the coolest of natural wind I've ever felt in Penang Island.

And it brought up that gooey warm feeling because it reminded me of Peacehaven in Genting.

I'm glad I stubbornly went up to the Dam although it was drizzling.



I have to read taugehs tonight.

Weekend in a fishbowl

Toe nail cutting for my dad was fun in a strange way, except that I was so tempted to paint his nails... and we all know what will happen to me if I did.

*
It's funny how things have a way to have aligned themselves by God's doing, to ultimately lead me to God. Like He's doing everything, for Himself, through me. Too amazing.

*
I want to learn to samba. Hahahahahaha! Go on, laugh with me here! Hahahahahahahahaha!

*

I'm glad to have been a laughing joke to the congregation today, although my name was thankfully withheld.

*
It's funny how I am unwilling to leave my Furla on a chair for even an hour, in case someone steals it, but I drop it on the floor without hesitation when God wants my hands.

Random post

I've found the title to the piano solo.
It's called 'The change in me is you' by James Dunne and Jill Collucci.
I can't wait to go home and play on Clara.


*
I'm so tired, this is the first time that I've went up to the dam twice in a week.
Therefore I'm sleeping once I've heard the piano solo one more time. *tired grin*

I almost forgot.
Blessed birthday, to my first of closer-circle-friends to be engaged!
Not in mortal combat, I assure you, (although she'll probably win with her Raccoon Strike move) but to another mortal.

You know it's time I sleep when I've crapped too much.

Cuba Libre would be an awesome nightcap before bed.
