Happy Feet

Thank God for all e Joy i had today. It is really a blessing to be able to enjoy "Happy Feet" with Theorell! The movie was so funny and at some parts very touching... *tears brimming*

Haha! The little punguines( correct spelling?) real cuties! HAha! And the tap dancing was cool! The little Mambo just make me laugh when he was born! Haha!

The conclusion is simple : penguines are cute!

Thank God for all the Joy. Without this joy, even the cutest penguine cannot make me laugh!

Professionalism

I always hold respect for those who have such professionalism in what they do! Cool!

I posted some video of Vinnie Colauita, considered one of the world best drummers(still alive of course)! Hey! U might see him as ANYHOW HITTING ANYWHERE! HAha! But NONO!!! Take careful look and u see techniques and styles and rudiments in every note! No Joke! And a in-built metronome in him too! This is the only place i see musicality displayed so well on a drumset!

Really amazing how God used Him... And This is the reason behind vinnie's success! Lets look at an interview by him!

In the last few years you've gone through many changes in your life, yet you've managed to strike a balance between your personal life and your career. Do you think this is unique?

Vinnie:It depends on how I intend to have a career, which is totally separate for me. My style of playing and writing music is part of who I am, but playing is really the development of certain skills. If you're writing music, or you have a passion for painting or writing poetry, then it's something that comes to you. It doesn't have much to do with having a carerr, it's more like a "calling"; There's something that's pushing you strongly in that direction.

Is this the real meaning of drumming for you, or is there something else?

Vinnie:Yes, absolutely. I believe that God blessed me by giving me this ability, and I need to be a faithful student as long as He gives me the strength and the passion. My responsiblity is to glorify God through this gift that He gave me, and it's also a way to pray and honor Him. If I think about all of this I understand the true meaning and I try to understand what He wants me to do, and I do it to the best of my ability. If my stage monitor distorts, then that's how it is. And it I can't play a paradiddle alternating between my hands and feet, that's okay, I'll probably be able to play it tomorrow. You've got to have the right attitude and do the best that you possibly can.

Do you think that there is any particular reason that your career has been so successful?

It's because God is blessing me and using me for and using me for His purpose. That's what I believe. Plus, people like what I do, so I think I've done and will continue to do good things. It's all guided by Him.

If you look back on your career analytically, are you satisfied or is there something else you'd like to do?

I would have liked to reach many more people in the same way that I do today. I'd really like to communicate with younger people, so that they would have faith in me, and they could believe in what I say and not be poisoned by today's society. That they could receive the message of the Gospel; This is very important to me. I'd like to help them accept God in their minds and in their hearts, and understand the difference with all the lies that exist in the world. I'm a lot more interested in this aspect, and if there is a way to do it through music, that that's great!

Thank God who inspired me to do a research about this faithful servant of His... Amazingly i have no idea about this guy until recently.
May this be a blessing to those pursuing a career in music. Glory to God alone.

Sharing lovingly

Having the greatest message of love shared in the most unloving way is this...

" You have got to believe in this gospel of salvation that Jesus died on the cross for our sins some 2000 years ago... Believe it or go to Hell with the idea that God don't exist at all"

No one is going to believe you in any way although it is true, and further more it is not convey in a manner of Love!
How can this show the Great love of our Heavenly Father when you speak of it but not displaying it?

May God's wisdom fall upon us who are sharing the gospel... May salvation be given to ppl all around.

I know/knew ?

Never tot missing could B so miserable... tot that is only for long lost friends or parents who lost their children... i just felt that "missing" for friends around me... u know? " So near yet so far..." Some even turned strangers. Haha... somehow strangers around me are more concern about me than my friends are... weird... i think the world is somehow upside down... But Jesus never change ever since i know Him...
Oh! Not bad if strangers are no longer termed strangers... just friends you yet to meet... that's better

Hornet Attack!

Walking into the shoulder length grass patch, i saw >5-6 hornets flying all around...
I tot it would be ok since i have seen so many and not got stung... so i just look around for enemy. Seeing there is no enemy, i turned and walked out!
The moment i turn... guess what! The hornet gave a surprise farewell kiss just above my neck... feeling harassed, i swat it away. Then it took me by my hand and kissed me again! Of course i ran for my life!
Although this is the first time i got attacked by hornet but i felt a sense of assurance that i will not die... my buddy who was with me also got 1 sting on the head.
Waa!!! Felt like... a hot needle stuck in my flesh... Then it felt like 10 red hot needles all around the wound... then 20...
Painful Man!!! I ask Jesus to reduce the pain for me so i can take it... but still very pain... But my fren asked me... "how come you look like you don't feel anything?" ... *Calm face* i said.. " Don't worry go see medic."
Thank God i am still alive and kicking... still got a chance to catch some sleep at medical centre while my friend is in pain till his whole leg shake. I closed my eyes and prayed silently for healing for both of us... kept praying.. God is at work here... slowly the pain diminished... and i mean SLOWLY... Till a point of sane bearability... Hallelujah! God never gives anything too pain for us to bear!
I now recovering from the poison... Amazingly 2 days and my friend is fighting fit. Thank God again!

Forest

Imagine yourself sitting in the forest from morning till night and night till morning... keeping quiet... with only 2 buddies 10m away.

I don't need to imagine le... Really scary man!!!
Getting some frogs or ants or grasshoppers or spiders on your face or shirt is totally normal.

But the most scary part is when i was sound asleep at 5am( did't get caught )... then i was dreaming myself playing the drumset... i dreamt of my old conductor Miss Tan... then she is about to conduct... ... then,
"BANG!!!" my buddy just fired a shot right beside my ear! Ahhh!!! I almost went MAD from SHOCK man! Felt like i was shot... Quick flashback! Haha... took around 2 minutes to come back to sense.

Haha! I am a timid fellow after all!

Thank God for staying with me throughout the night and protecting me... Or else timid me will be in mental hospital now... scared to death! HAha!

Sick le.

Suddenly fell so sick and so weak.
Flu... Coughing non stop... mild fever.
But in all ways still Thank God for i am still alive.
Maybe it this is what means by getting in return what you interceed for others...
I prayed for this sick person and i fell sick. Haha. Man! i can still joke at this moment!
I'm amazed! Haha.

Beautiful but all watched alone 

Shh...
