Yes, this is another pretty number obsession but not for no reason. It was Chalet 7 at Fairy Point (near Changi Beach Club), on 8 Sep 10 - the 3rd day of our family chalet. We booked a bungalow for a 4-day, 3-night family get together. Anyway, it was planned for mom when we found out about her cancer. So this trip was to gather everyone before she gets too sick from her treatment. Thank God, so far she's responding well to chemo, though she is currently going through massive hair loss. Anyway, I'm highlighting this particular day because we had a ball of a time sliding down this grassy slope at the back of the huge 5-bedroom bungalow. I didn't get to slide because of my foot condition but I had such a good time just being the video women, using my mobile phone. Some were done by Mui from another angle. We had one round before it started raining to our favour. After that the slope was wetter and more conducive for a second round of fun. I love all the sniplets so much I deci

No Regrets When God Steps In

Bob and Kathy Fitts with this morning's worship team Jason Tay, Kathy Fitts, Bob Fitts and me Singing on the same stage with Bob Fitts in Church this morning was not just about a dream coming true. It was not about meeting my 'hero' or 'idol', though it was indeed an honour and privilege to lead our congregation with him. But really, it was more of a gratefulness of God's amazing love for me because He remembered. He didn't forget that dream which was laid down at his feet many years ago, when I had felt forgotten then, 'stranded' down under in Perth, away from the people and ministry I love. I felt then that whatever opportunity on any big stage was taken from me and I had to do something I hate instead - studying (haha, sorry mom). The God whom I have personally experienced to be a faithful Comforter helped me through that period of tough time by gently reminding me of the right perspective and attitude towards serving in the worship ministry where

Bob-Fitting Dream

Since long long time ago in (not) Bethlehem, I had this dream that I would one day stand on the same stage as Bob Fitts as a background vocalist. As I'm writing this now, and listening to the old, old Hosanna! Music Praise Worship album - Proclaim His Power with Bob Fitts, those songs make my heart leap. I'm getting excited all over again that this dream has come true. In my early days as a Worship Vocalist (formerly called Back-up Singer) in the Worship Ministry, the Church I have been serving in used to take, quite extensively, songs from Hosanna! Music. So I was inevitably exposed to those albums, following and buying almost all the releases volume after volume (cassette format hor). In fact, my vocals and harmony techniques developed the most with the help of those praise and worship albums. In those days, where vocals sounds clearer than the instrumentals, and songs are composed to the vocal range comfortable to both genders, it is easy to catch the lyrics without having t
