Remember Me - Sophie Kinsella

Woo hoo!
Finished 392 pages in one night!
Been too long since I last read 6 hours straight.

Soooo glad it's a holiday tomorrow!

'Ohana

Been some busy family time the week before Resurrection Sunday.
Resurrection Sunday was also the day 2 rings were exchanged.
Chinese wedding would be held in June.


Some of my favourite shots that I'm too lazy to put together nicely til now.


~Was awesome to have handled a scorpion, milipede and caterpillar at the Butterfly Farm.

~I now have direct numbers to a neurologist and an opthalmologist on my mobile.
And I know where they live too. Hahahaha!

~Finally having the time to look at the photos properly, I realized that my brothers and I kinda all share the same nose.
And it's moments like this, that I wish our mum was here to see it all.

-An emotion that borders on wistfulness passing through.-

Who would have thought that once all grown up, brothers didn't exist just to traumatize you or make your life a living hell?

Resurrection Sunday

I'm thankful for the significance of the cross.

For the journey up the hill.

For sins beared, bore-ed and to be beared.

For who You are.

Revamp done

I'm liking this! The fonts, the colors, the background.
Fits my mood and black nails at the moment.
Now the only thing left I'd love to be able to spend some couple of hours getting done is a tag cloud.
Hours I don't have right now.

Have you seen one of those floaty tag clouds? It's like a 3D cloud and is so cool!
And you can actually click on a tag and it brings you to the link it's attached to.


Thankful 83 for Reminder of the day.

Been watching this and just crossed my mind how simplicity is the key sometimes.

Artistic expression

It's late and I ought to be asleep.
But here I am.

Finally met Syndy.
She's awesome!
They said 'No more strings', but it made me wonder in retort, 'Will you allow it?'

Sometimes we are so used to our comfort zone, used to the way a song is presented that we are not open to new ideas, new sounds. And in the end, artistic expression is stifled in the name of 'getting it right'.

What is right is nothing but an opinion, a belief, a conviction.
A self-centred arguement.

Somehow, it doesn't sit right with me tonight. And yes, I know that is my own opinion, belief and conviction.
Especially when it comes to worship songs.
Yes, the need to get the vocals, chords and timing tight make sense to get the song across.
That is why we have practices.
But if you break it down til the exact notes has to be the same as 'the original',  the sound has to be similar to what they are playing otherwise resort to strings instead, then I have a problem with that.

How do you call that worship if it becomes so centered in 'getting it right', that there's no space left to worship with your heart to your hands and expressing yourself not only vocally?
The focus that belongs to God is instead wasted more on 'getting it right'.
Yes, I have to admit everyone up there is multitasking.
We are all trying to play or sing correctly, to hear each other, to see hand signals and worship all at the same time.
And every one of those tasks takes a percentage of concentration to fulfill.
But what in the end is the point, the number one reason, other than to bring worship and to worship Him ourselves? Everything else fades in comparison to that.

That's just the way I see it.
