Sunday, November 18, 2007 WAH! im finally done with the freaking CLASSICAL SOCIAL THEORY revision! dammmnnnnn SIAN can! gdness...this entry is going to be lingering with a great sigh of relief! see e irony?!?! 'sigh' of 'relief'...dunno whether to cry or smile or wat! i really feel like there is this little playful racheal inside of racheal...trying to get into some mischief during exam period! instead of having to 'lock' myself up at home studying e whole time...i wanna go out! anywhere is fine...anyone is fine...i jus need to get out! damn!
Yeay next week no need to play keys during service! coz its exams week so its a break for me! my 'shifu' is taking over....*claps claps*! kinda miss standing down there among the congregation to worship...no doubt being able to worship God thru playing the keys is an all-so-wonderful experience especially when i get the chords, rhythms, tempo, volume, etc, etc (a million of things to remember!) right....but still i managed to gain my poise most of the time coz i keep reminding myself that as long as i give my best to God...e rest is secondary! so before my break comes dis week....i mus do a review of my past month of playing ALONE! hahaha.....first and foremost...*drum-rolls*
- Thank you God for taking all my wrong chords and nonsense I've played all these weeks...I guess sometimes...perhaps You might be thinking..."Oh my gosh...wat are you doing Racheal?!?! Play music not noise!!". Haha..but i noe You will be pleased coz jus like how a Daddy should be proud of His daughter whenever she gives her best! So God...jiayou! (wat rubbish...asking God to jiayou! wahahaha!) and i tink You will still hafta listen to a lot of 'noise' but i will only improve!
- Thank you to all members of the Chinese worship team! 没有你们的包容我是不可能做到...even tho i dun consider myself as 'being there' yet...but still i mus thank everyone esp all e worship leaders for your patience and understanding along the way! you all have been of great assistance!
- Thank you to all of the Chinese 1630 Service congregation for your high level of tolerance to listen to me play...my motto is 'if you dare to listen i dare to play'....WAHHAHAHA! no choice la...amateur must be thick-skinned to survive!
- Thank you to Ps Kristy for always telling me to SMILE and play! hahaha....i really tried but sometimes i get stressed den forget! but dun worry! i'll get that into my head thru more practices! Thank you for the inspirations and motivations! you have been a great blessing for the worship team to have!
- Last but very very impt! to you 'shifu'...hahaha (you noe who you are la huh...) I've been sent by God after 10 years of your prayers to 'emancipate' you huh? (check that word out...i noe you cfm dunno wat it means! wahahaha!) but i never told you that you have helped me to revive that passion i once had for the piano/organ/keyboard (whatever you call it!) so yup....thank you for all that you have imparted to me thru e 9 mths, in and out of class...and still ongoing....hahaha...thanks for all e nagging and most of all...THANKS for the forced learning process of throwing me up there alone! indeed it was an experience of a lifetime....ride roller-coaster also dunno whether got so exciting or not....even tho i was damn jittery initially (still am now but less alrdy)...it was thru these times when there was NO ONE TO SAVE ME that i learned the most! im unable to say exactly wat i learnt...jus the experience for me to react to the many 'situations' that may arise...and den also out of bo-bian-ness...i had to use 'sus' chords to sound better..(see now my sus chords quite zai rite! hahaha!)...ya i noe i noe....please get my melody right asap...e deal is next year...i hope no need to extend contract till year 2009...WAHAHAHA! so to my SHI-FU cum '前浪'...后浪给您献上感谢...hahaha... [P.S: stop abandoning me during practices...if not quoting tony "your house in heaven no toilet den you noe!" HAHAHA!]
