Heroic

On to the final Chopin song that I definitely wanna play: Op 53, Heroic Polonaise! It's gonna be another challenge, tougher than the Fantasie Impromptu for sure! Now that I've gotten the hang of the Fantasie Impromptu, shall spend the time improving it whilst I practice the new song. So far the beginning of it doesn't seem too tough, but the tough part is at the end where the LH plays running octaves... It's gonna be a mega tiring song to master but it sound really majestic! Ever since beginning my exploration of Chopin's pieces, I've always wondered when I'd finish the list of songs that I wanted to learn, and it's about to be completed! With that I'll have a whole repertoire of 8 Chopin's songs I can present to others! :)

Well as part of being accountable to everyone, I must admit that my QT as of late has been... Late. Haha well since there's so much to do in a day, Van and I usually start QT extremely late, leading to fatigue and some incidents of accidental falling asleep. I suppose we've got to start being more focused in our QTs... As a Christian couple, one thing that I believe is that before you can get a relationship right and God centered, your own life has to be God centered, and that's what we need for now, a renewal of focus! And do pray for us for that! Thank you very much!

B1G concluded last saturday, and I must say it was a pretty tiring experience. I've never been that drained from a conference, and I suppose my stamina is not what it was. The time spent there was definitely refreshing, and a big reminder of God's realness in my life. For one, many thing the speakers shared resonated with my previous experiences, and its always a good reminder of how other like minded Christians like yourself also do go through moments of brokeness and anguish, and how you recovered your faith just like they did shows how real a God we have! It was a great reminder of those times, and through that I was truly blessed. St James Church in a way does feel like a second church to me some how, and I suppose that's because its where the one who inspired me towards change came from, giving me a second, transformed life that fateful day 8 years ago. Another reminder of the realness of God in my life. =)

Tomorrow will be watching Hotel Transylvania with Van, and its a movie we've both anticipated for awhile! Exciting! :D

Digimon

 I'm feeling quite nostalgic and have been thinking about my childhood a lot recently. A lot of it is because of the retreat I just had with my CG members and how having such a retreat reminded me of days that were more slower paced and more relaxed.  It makes me want to relive some of my memories. Two ways that I've thought about is soccer - I've been watching some of the World Cup matches, and it reminds me of the late nights I had watching matches when I was 15 or so and just starting this blog. About how soccermugger came to be in the first place and how I wanted this platform to post about soccer scores and how I felt about the matches I watched. The other way is to watch old anime, and I'm thinking about revisiting the first ever anime I watched which was Digimon. It was televised in Mandarin at 8am, and I remember waking up early on the weekends to watch it fervently. Maybe its time to do that again.  In general I guess my inclinations are to be more at ease and

Vanguard

It’s taken a long time, but I think my heart is finally at peace. It’s been a tough journey but I am glad to say the worst of it is over. At the moment am surrounded by those who matter to me and I am doing meaningful things. Truly thankful that God has returned me to such a state.  In this season of Good Friday and Easter the word Vanguard comes to mind. Maybe it’s that season of life where God is exactly that for me, where we will be together in uncharted battlegrounds in both personal and professional life.  Not too sure when my next post will be but hope the next will be better than the last. Until next time! 

Vox Humana

497th post. Its been a rather pleasant weekend, filled with Gihon and worship stuff. Really enjoyed myself baking with Gihon. Wished we could've taken a vid of everyone for Youth Day... Probably will have to meet them one day to film them haha. Probably will organise a homework doing session for them to complete everything before the hols end. Well Father's Day celebrations today went quite well... Only had a couple of hours to practise for the hoedown, and practise for the worship went comparatively better than the prac during camp. It was my first time playing piano/organ/keys/trumpets/vox for worship, and I'm glad it went ok, and I did it with God. Driving test is on friday... Not too worried about it, and also have no prob with failing it actually. Taking it easy, but hoping for good news. I guess its the peace that transcends all understanding thats taking over. And the most important thing for me for this test is not whether I pass or fail, but whether God was with me
