-Disclaimer- This is the final part of the trilogy... About Eden-Sol's gig on the 23rd of October. The author apologizes for the large break between posting the second and final portions, as he was supposedly really busy, as you will find out in the next post. To get a bigger picture, scroll down to the third entry below and read through it before coming here. Have fun reading! *** The weekend a week before the performance was a real refresher, and some happy things happened. For one, my twin brothers finally got confirmed, and for seconds, it seemed that most things pertaining to the concert were going on pretty smoothly. I took some confirmation pics (well actually my dad did) and here they are. The week ahead was going to be a crazy one, cos rehearsals were going to be long and tiring, and we had to rehearse almost everyday. It seemed pretty fine to me, but something big was coming along... Practices went on as usual, and with all of us in Eden-Sol giving our trust to God alway

-Disclaimer- This is part 2 of the trilogy... About Eden-Sol's gig on the 23rd of October. To get a bigger picture, scroll down to the next entry and read through it before coming here. Have fun reading! *** 3 weeks soon whittled down to 2 weeks, and it was the weekend. Good news over personal matters came drifting in. I scored 123/150 for my grade 8 practical examination, giving me a nice merit, and my brother's arm was healing up just fine. CT results were expected the following week, and I was pretty upbeat about it. With just a little fatigue from the jamming sessions, I came to church a happy guy. The guys in the band were alright as well. We were due for our very first 'exco' meeting one of the days on the following week. After spending quite some time bumming around school and stuff, we finally got to meet our student helpers and tell them what was in store. I short journey down to Marina Square got everybody settled and ready to do the Lord's work. Dinner at

Eden-Sol's Evangelistic Concert 2006 @ The Third Place was a resounding success. Once again, I'd like to thank all those who came down, and all those who had helped in one way or another. 1. They enjoyed the music 2. They enjoyed the food 3. They enjoyed the company 4. They enjoyed the skit But Most Importantly 5. They enjoyed His presence 2 and a half weeks. 10+ people. 240+ dollars. Thats all we had to work with. But there was something we had that made the concert so much of a success. We had infinite stength from God. We can't deny that. For that we really praise and thank the Lord for what he has done. All things come from you and of your own do we give you. The journey has been awesome. I've got so much to catch up on. But it was well worth it! Every single minute of it. It all started out as an idea, long before the 23rd of October. We guys had always wanted to have a concert, and an evangelistic one at that. We knew that it had to be this year, but yet after CTs

Today's Open House was ok I guess. A bit pointless for me, but yup it was alright. Reached school at 1 to man the Raffles Rock booth, then manned the Guitar booth from 2 to 3. I handled curious people pretty well, a few of them asked about guitar, rock and jazz so I just told them whatever I knew. The time at the rock booth was pretty well spent, since there was a guitar there. Spent some time practising, played Chasing Cars and Just The Girl just for fun. The problem was that one of the strings on the guitar had snapped so pretty soon the novelty wore off. The good thing was that it drew some people, the bad thing was that the drums at the neigbouring booth totally drowned us out when they started playing. Raffles Rock's booth. Uncompleted... Raffles Rock. Duh. At the guitar booth it wasn't as pleasant. Almost no one turned up, although there were a few curious people who passed by in ones or twos. With a slide show on a laptop, a few picks and a classical guitar there wa

Its been quite some time since I attended an official mooncake festival procession. Back in the old days lanterns used to seem so appealing. But now, mooncake festival takes on a whole new meaning now that I'm seventeen. Friday after jamming I went down to the CAP at block 48 near my church to go see how the church people and those in the neighbourhood were mingling. It was pretty ok, lively, noisy, entertaining and such. Spent some time talking with the old folks with my mom and dad. Besides that I didn't really do much except eat lots and lots of mooncakes and drink lots of tea haha. Heres a pic of the place. There were Guzheng performances, movie screenings and photo taking sessions going on. Took one photo with the rest of YE, and ugh when will I ever become photogenic hahaha. I think my eyes were closed in the picture. And I was in the front row some more. Mooncake Festival for me was more of a time to look at nature around me and enjoy it just at it was. Looking at the mo
