hahas back from brunei!!apparently during this 3 weeks when i not in singapore, lots of things have been happening esp the youth event on sunday which i m unable to attend, wad a pity!!:X been missing alot of things in singapore like the food, the friends, my family and of cos, my cell-group. They have been a lovely bunch of ppl, sending me sms which never fail to encourage me and made me look forward to seeing them back in singapore.
Basically, today is the first cgm and svc that i attend since a mnth ago and i really have to say that coming back to the presence of God and being with my spiritual family is really a wonderful feeling. As i was playing the guit during the PNW, God begin to encourage me to do greater things after coming back!!
Hahas, recently there has been blessings happening. First up, million thanks to andrew for taking such good care of my guit when i am away. Hahas, he care so much until he even helped me restring the whole guit and the set of guit strings cost quite a substantial amount too mans. So sorry andrew that i took it back so early, relally hope to play more often with ya!!
Secondly, mum has blessed me with a big angbao before leaving for brunei. With the initial intention to save up for the Taylor guit, i decided to spend it on some useful stuff. So in de end, spent quite a lot i will sae la, bot guit strings, straps, picks and 3 music dvds!!
First dvd:
Leaving out the non-essentials, Paul focuses on the critical fundamentals that will help you:
* understand and use the Nashville number system
* see and hear relationships between notes and chords
* hear and feel any modern chord progression
* speak the language of music
* write and arrange your songs more creatively
* have a better understanding of all kinds of music
2nd Dvd:
On this DVD, Paul and his band discuss and demonstrate how to:
* identify and eliminate distractions
* utilize the flow factors of “themes, keys, and tempos”
* develop a seamless setlist
* change keys and transition smoothly
* cultivate a heart of worship in your team
hahas seriously, i tink this dvd is really good stuff mans, very very useful for worship leaders to understand how to create the flow, and Paul and his band really demonstrate it so well!!
Lastly:
This dvd teaches all the different kind of moveable fretboard patterns, how to play solo and even backup in all keys, the chord progressions and even the different types of scales to made songs sound more unique and out of the box even with the same chord!!
hahas this dvd is more intense in content compared to the other 2, but i believe they will help me to improve my guit skills when i begin to prac everyday!Pray for me that i will have the discipline!
Today cgm msg on Possessing the Future really speak right into my heart. Looks like i have to start planning and trust God on the different areas like: guitar skills, friends, cg, ministry and relationship wif God. Looks like today will be a good thing for me to really sit down and plan carefully.
On the other note, monday will mit up with xh, mav, luanz and rhoda!!Excited for it. According to xh, there is actuali a 99c sushi at cathy?hahas well, lookin forward to mitin them!!:D
Niwae today in cgm, lx post us the 'Bible Challenge', to read finish the WHOLE of bible by tht end of the year, so that we will be more knowledgeable of the Word of God and the different stories inside!!Okay, this sounds like a taunting task, and i calculated there are 1189 chapters in total, so leaving the cg with about 84daes, tat means one dae we nid to read around 15 chaps a day! But well, there will always be a reward installed for us!!For those hu managed to finished it, lx will bless him with a new high quality bible!!wahahas, i m ready for the challenge!!:D
