Stuff over the weekend.

It was clear when we went to the beach.
Then it drizzled.
Then it rained.
And finally, it poured.
We had to rush into the car and watch the fire gone in seconds.

So we drove all the way back and barbequed at church. >.<

Sky been really clear tonight. Had a good laugh wondering if someone prayed to God for Sunday night instead of Saturday.

Had the chance to hang on to a set of drumsticks this morning.
Made me remembered to come clean. Uncle just listened, and prayed over me.
It was kinda weird to get it out properly but I had to. And I'm happy for it.

This weekend marks the first for Rachel to play the piano. I'm loving it.

Someone took a lot of beating from me today.
Let's just say it was so bad until the dad had to tell me to stop.
Hell, has no fury like a woman scorned. Hahahahaha!

Things I am thankful for.
78. Good food, crazy joyful company. It surprises me that we didn't have to have alcohol to see some of the craziest antics that are usually a result of drunken-ness.
79. I'm so glad and thankful it's over. Confessing something that's not even a secret is just weird. But it's freaking over and I'm out of the closet. Hahahaha!

80. I'm discovering many a things I can do with my new haircut. Thank God it wasn't as awful as that first bizarre morning. Although it's somehow etched into some people's brain.

81. I'm thankful because I have them.
Each and everyone of them who makes life all the more bearable and fun. And as always, a reminder of His love for me.

It's 2AM and....

~I have work in the morning. =(

~I've been feeding the mosquitoes for over 2 hours. =((

~I'm still super bothered by the words 'You like dark chocolates'. And it's already Thursday! RAWR!


Excerpt from boundless.org (cut, paste and trimmed to make sense).

One way race affects us all is that it determines our sense of personal and group identity. It affects every individual, not in the same way, of course, but at least on some level. Most often, our sense of racial identity is rooted in some assumptions about our basic biology.
But is that an accurate set of assumptions? Does race exist in some objective, scientific sense?


The emphasis in the OT and NT wherever the Bible speaks of creation of humankind is mankind's common biological descent from Adam. Our common ancestry is underscored. The most fundamental recognition is not our difference labeled as "race" but our oneness, not our discontinuity but continuity.


To put it another way — This obvious truth that all men are descended from Adam and Eve through the line of Noah demands complete abandonment of "race as biological distinctiveness. "Race" in the way we commonly use the term, as a proxy for explaining differences in appearances and identity, does not exist in truth.

Post number 321

It's been an awesome weekend.
I took some time off on Friday, and tagged along to Stella Maris and watched the youths did some very very hilarious sketches.

And then there was the wedding.
I didn't have enough sleep on Friday night so on Saturday between practice and getting ready for the wedding, my head was buzzing by the time we went to the wedding.
Which lead me to do some really embarassingly stupid facial expressions when camera was aimed at me.
This is going to take a while to forget. And forgive myself for it.

Performance wise it wasn't much, considering the whole event was weird.
The bride and groom just walked in not escorted, no entrance music.
They didn't even walk properly following the red carpet.
It was the most bizarre wedding I've attended.
What's worst was that some of the younger peeps had the same food poisoning today.

Instead of going home early, we made our way to the beach after the wedding.
Let's just say my tiredness was to a max, and it didn't help that we were stuck in an hour jam on the way home. Where others quiet down when they are tired, I'm the other way around and was super frantic in the car. Thank God I wasn't kicked out of the car. Sigh.

76. Good crowd. Regardless of how others would think.

77. Funny times.
It's somewhat awesome how I'm at ease being funny and made fun of.
Much more now than ever before.
A constant reminder of God's footprint in my life.

Syndy + Thankfuls + Odd stuff

I can't remember if I mentioned here that the new keyboard was going to be named Syndy.
Anyway that's what I decided on some time back. And she's coming soon.

Thankful 73. Someone is going to bank in whatever amount it takes to purchase Syndy.

I'm excited.

Now to finally decide on which one.

And, I'm in love with the Roland GW-8.

Can't seem to spin my head around any other models.

Thankful 74. Been a quiet on call weekend.

Thankful 75. Funny how things turn out when you plan a plan and God planned things better.

Been catching a bit of Glee.

Their slow version of the Beatles's 'I wanna hold your hand' was an emo moment.

I'm jamming at a wedding this coming Sat.

Can't wait for the crazy buzz that accompany us whenever we jam somewhere else's.

As much as I whine about how outrageous the adventures we end up having.

A warm glow came across inside, at the mere mention of jamming in Serdang.

Maybe it had to do with how the message was conveyed, like naturally, I would be in the foursome to go. 

Hahahaha!

If only we could....

Sound of Music

Watched the full 3 hours version on tv2 over the weekend.
It was awesome to revisit this old childhood favourite.
It stayed a favourite for many years because they recorded it onto a videotape for me when I was a wee kid.

I remembered every song and almost every words in them.
And it brings back memories of those days when I was trying to get every single lyric right by hearing over and over again. There was even a yodelling moment at school because of this movie.

It was enlightening, watching now as a grown up.
I enjoyed the beautiful lush sceneries, the detailed orchestration of the songs, the facial expressions, laughed at the 'reverse physchology' used and understood the underlying tones in the adult conversations. Things I missed out as a kid.
The only bummer was when they cut short the scene where Maria and the Capten finally kissed.
One measly kissing scene, and they censored it!

In a way, I enjoyed it differently.
As a kid it was all about the bubbly music and the singing.
As an adult, its a recollection of the past, yet adding so much more on to that.
