Bandaged Soul...so I can open my heart to you again.

Watched the 9.15pm Mulan with Ben, Jaslyn and Minyan just now. I can't exactly describe whether I like the show or not, cos the super irritating people in the theatre were laughing at places throughout the whole movie where, really, they weren't funny at all! I tried not to be affected and just concentrate on the movie. I mean, maybe I just didn't get it. Blaming it on a poor sense of humour could perhaps make me feel less irritated. As a result, I think it diluted the intended experience for the audience. Well, at least for me, that's what I think it is. Bummer...

Monday morning sighting...amazing work of nature. Wonder what's the name of the species...looks edible :P~ It feels so much like Saturday today. Met up with Alex and Tiny (pronounced as Tini) yesterday. You know, gather gather, and ate at Pasta Manna - a.k.a. my brother's stall at Old Airport Road Hawkers' Centre. Apparently, pan-fried meatball pasta is their all-time favourite. I like it, too. I even added extra 'toppings' - bacon. Yummy! We ended up ordering the same entre. Both Alex and myself got the set so we had mushroom soup and a slice of garlic bread. Thanks to moi...we got super big portion of pasta at no extra charge :P In addition, Alex ordered the supersized (dinosaur) sugarcane and 15 sticks of pork satay. I must say, the pork satay tastes really good. Seldom you'd get to eat pork satay, for obvious reason. We were really filled and satisfied by the end of the meal. So good we decided that the next round, we'd get a few others to join in. And j

Writings on the walls at the backstage of Victoria Concert Hall. What do you think?

I can't sleep. Actually, it's more like I don't dare to go to sleep now. May not wake up in time for 2nd Service later. Slept in the morning yesterday, too. Then woke up shortly after and decided that I should make a quick trip down to VCH to find things that we left behind from Friday's concert. I was there around 9.30am. Did some crazy stuff just to retrieve things that, I think, was important only to me. Otherwise it wouldn't have ended where I had to go digging with tongs. After I found what I could, there was still some time before my parking coupon expired so I went behind the premise to enjoy the morning scene at the Singapore River. There were Dragon Boat races going on. So cool cos it was right smack in the CBD area so you have the row of skyscrapers behind. There were groups of people jogging, tourists snapping away. The was also a couple of Indian men sitting on the floor, each with a basket containing a snake inside. The duo were appealing to a group of

It has been a while. Music therapy at the Band studio. I have the privilege of being the first audience to listen through the whole repertoire. Wow... So this year's a continuation of the series Avec l'Expression. 3rd installation with the theme "Around The World". And we're really going places...all the way out of school to Victoria Concert Hall. It's about time, after 2 years of sell-out in the school Auditorium of 570-seater. VCH's like 50% more in capacity than the audi, and with the inevitable increase in ticket price, these are just some of the challenges. Well, if we never go, we'll never know! In a few minutes, I'll be counting money again...praying for sell-out again this year. The music's sounding really good, I must say. Come eh! 7.30pm tomorrow (20 Nov 09) at the good old Victoria Concert Hall...

I felt so much love and adoration for Abba Father today. Praise and worship was awesome. Such liberty, and so engaging. Thank You, Father. It was such a great thrill, I want more of it! I felt He has opened the eyes of my heart today to receive the message on zeal. Z = Zeal E = Equals A = Anti L = Lukewarmness Sometimes it seems that we are living in a culture that promotes apathy, unaffectedness. When you appear to be too enthusiastic about something, you get those stares as if you're so uncool. Now, everything has to be cool, smooth, no sweat, chill. If something is really worth living and fighting for, your words, thoughts and deeds would reflect it as it burns inside you. You wouldn't care even if it makes you look like a fool in the eyes of the world. What matters is, what are you passionate about? Jesus was not afraid to flip the tables of those turning His Father's house of prayer into dens of thieves. Are you afraid to stand for God's standard of righteousness?

Very quickly, another day has passed. Work was rather intense today, getting ready behind the scene the upcoming TP Band concert. Searching for supplier to provide food for the band is really a tedious thing to do because we have to get the best deal. Using tax-payers' money mah, need to justify like crazy. Strangely though, sometimes I find such processes quite therapeutic, albeit the long, and sometimes redundant process. Maybe I've been brain-washed, but I really believe there is a place for such guidelines to ensure we are good stewards of the resources entrusted to the officers. The most difficult part is expressing my own, sometimes half-convinced, rationale to the generation I deal with that manages obstacles with a quick-fix mentality. Sometimes I feel sandwiched in between and juggle to keep my sanity that's threatened by managing expectations from on top and below. A lot of brain work there. Yet, it is during such episodes where I feel things taking shape and beco

I don't know why I have this 'obsession' to zoom in on nice-looking dates, and feel the urge to take note of them and blog. It doesn't have to be about what happened that day. Why huh? Maybe cuz they only come once in a lifetime? Duh... Still staying back late quite a abit, and I doubt it'd be any different from now till 20 Nov with the TP Band concert at the Victoria Concert Hall. That's one highlight for me personally as far as work progress is concerned. There's one assignment on Sun, 22 Nov which I need to be present on campus. Then another on Sat, 28 Nov. Those are quite bummers. But I'm going to make it enjoyable no matter what...I should say the same everyday. On a personal basis, I'm really looking forward to the Tim Elmore meetings on 21 Nov. Time Elmore is the author of the series of 3 books entitled 'Habitutes'. Actually the session starts the day before but... Lance Wallnau meetings were really impactful. Need to go through the no

I've been staying out late so much for the past few weeks, it just ain't funny. Oh well, it's part of the job and what I signed up for in the first place... but that was more than a decade ago. Age is catching up, together with an evolvement in various commitments, varying encounters & experiences, and in what I value in life. And so I find myself questioning the meaning in what I do. Just when I was feeling disheartened and frustrated, God showed up. Was at the Transformation meetings last weekend and taking in the message that Lance Wallnau brought with him. I'm still digesting the thoughts rumbling in my head and my heart. Excited, yet a little disorientated. It'll take the next few weeks to organise what I learnt to bring them out in application. But the gist of it is clear - I need to excel in what I do within my circle of influence. Take my position where God has placed me before a counterfeit comes and mess it all up. Singing for that 3 evening meetings a
