let's do something about it

this is so not going to be a sad, melancholic entry anymore. i am NOT going to feel blue and i'm sure my dear readers don't want me to be. don't u ppl?? anyway....

let's see... what can i talk about which is not saddening? not spm, no, definately not that...

ok, music then. so today, we watched the concert video of united live (the latest) and man! they really show the world what music really is. no, wait, that's not right... i'm sure there're other musicians in this wide, wide world who can produce better music but well, when it comes down to raw, hot, all-consuming passion for worship, u've got to hand it to these ppl. a no holds barred praise to God. you know, it's like this AWESOME thing that u really wished that u could be there in their midst doing something, but u can't. and it's really frustrating for me. cos i'm a doer... i like to be doing things and taking charge and i'm just itching to immerse myself in all this.


and that's why IGNITE and CHEQ UP (in Dec- pls ask me for more details if interested) is so important to me, to all of us... man, we have to get our act right! with God, with ourselves, with our talents, with our instruments/tools/whatever else that we use to acheive this... hillsongs standard. which is possible i know. to quote steph, there are only 2 rules for the United live worship team, be GOOD and CRAZY. yeah! if they can do it y not us?


i don't know how many people harbour this dream... of someday playing/singing on stage just like them and it just feels so fulfilling, so right to just lay bare our passion and pent-up energy and just.... worship. i know i do... i do,i so do. and i for one am going to acheive that. it's been my dream for too long now. so, people who share this dream... together we can aight?


Lord, send revival start with us...

for da love of music.... haha


today's my 1st time playin piano 4 yas. kinda scary really... but thank gudness dat i had prac durin my isca days. cos usually, i play da keyboard 4 yas. being da pianist is well... quite pressurin (2 me) , i mean, ur like... leadin de otha instruments n blendin dem 2getha. i dunno abt other bands, but dey do it like dat in my church. yea. so, it was quite a big leap 4 me, but... i'm honored. haha... yeayea... i'm nt abt 2 get big-headed so it's alright. i like playin n stuff... u noe, in a band n all dat. but lessons...lessons r such a drag. esp if u hate it so much n r forced 2 do it. take it from sum1 who noes. i hate it so wen i am forced 2 learn. actually, i nvr liked my piano lessons (my confessions... hehe) . i only rather liked dem after i finished my gr8 n my teacher let me play romantic(as in romantic period, so dun get me wrong) n latin pieces which were pretty ok. but now, i haf dis otha piano class which i take wiv my sis n a fren which i LOATH 2 da fullest. can't wait 2 quit it nxt yr. wut joy it'll be wen i do.

but dat's nt 2 say dat i dun like music ya noe... i do. n do like playin da piano. n da violin (altho i seldom prac. bad of me... i noe.). n da git (quite badly i mz add). music has been ingrained in2 me n is a part of me now. but i lack da passion n drive n talent 2 pursue it as a career. imagine me as a music teacher.... *shiver* it's nt dat i'm puttin music teachers down, but i was thinkin of it more from da future students point of view. i'll prob be able 2 put da fear of all things music in dem if i do actually teach. but i like jammin tho. only we dun haf da resources n time n a drummer.

oh, n btw... i find musicians really attractive. uh-huh. prospective bfs' haf got 2 be musicians. does dis sentence sound wrong? or do i sound wrong....?
