Philharmonic Winds

 SL and her boy boy

 Me, Jasmine and Faith

 One of the few clear pics I managed to steal a shot at cos photographing's not allowed. Shhhhh don't tell anyone.

I can't remember how long ago it was when I last felt so super high listening to music. It started when I was with my buddies at the Esplanade for dinner. I happened to chance upon a poster with Nathan Hartono in it and I got closer to see what it was about. It happened to be the Philharmonic Wind's 10th anniversary performance with guest performers Nathan Hartono as well as Tay Kewei. That got me interested. I managed to pull a couple of others to join me and none of us regretted going.

For me, though my original intention was to watch Nathan live, I ended up enjoying the rest of the performances more than I did his. The group did many contemporary songs from Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga and many more. One highlight for me was when they did a medley from Lady Gaga and they even imitated some of her moves from her MTVs as they ended her medley. Overall, I just felt so 'high' from all the instruments playing together. It was a superb experience for just 33 bucks. Think I am gonna go see more of such performances whenever possible......

Rapunzal Rapunzal Let Down Your Hair

As I was making my way to Cineleisure last night to catch the movie, I was wondering to myself if I was too old to watch this genre of movies. I came to the conclusion the answer was an emphatic no. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It's really nice to get to watch something so funny and entertaining.

I suppose the story line is familiar to most people so I need not elaborate. The jokes were really funny. So this movie is a must catch for the young, old and in-betweens.......

Remember

Not to let the 'Ah Longs' control you. Just let the banks do so. After all, the worse the banks can do is just sue you and take away your property. The 'Ah Longs' can splash paint on your property!

Changes?

I think I have been told a couple of times I will be re-joining the worship team. Yap. It's kind of funny that I am the one who gets told to join instead of me making the decision and telling people I am joining. This time I am told to come back as a guitarist. To a certain I am looking forward. It's really high time to give God my time and energy and go back to the good old days. I just read in a book that people with my issues tend to be very inward-looking. It comes to the point of being narcissistic. And people like me should learn to be more outward-looking instead. So I guess this will be one of the steps to becoming more "outward" looking, I hope......

1st December 2010

I realised it's been a while since I last blogged. Somehow I do not seem to have anything I wanna talk about of late, until today......

It's already the end of the year. It really scares me to realise how the year has slipped past my hands without anything much accomplished. I think I will be the most miserable person when I see Jesus face to face. I know He has given me a lot. But I really have used so little relative to it. I was just looking through some websites on self-improvement and I recall somewhat the drive and ambitions I had when I first started work. I was going for the world man. Now, I feel like some turtle or something with my head shrunk in my own little world, oblivious to what's happening around me.

From this I have gathered 3 conclusions:

1) Comfort zone is one of the biggest dream killers known to man, or maybe just me. Many aspects in my life I have settled for without much of a fight anymore, though I know I am bigger than that. Somehow, I just do not want to put in any effort to fight anymore for any thing.
2) I am not driven. I have been told that what I really lack is a vision. Maybe so. If so, the vision better be big enough to supply me with the strength to crawl out of my stupor. Right now, I question whether if I do get one in my life, would I wanna go through the rut of starting my engine all over again to make a go at it.
3) I am by nature lazy. Knowing all these about me and my character, I will not be surprised if I go home tonight and immediately dig out my library of blu-rays and dvds for a movie to watch.......
