Welcome to My world, my life, my thoughts

Well..here to tok about something serious..

Erm..well..perhaps ytd nite is going to be the last time i m going to ever touch chinese instrument, perhaps it's not..well..will just leave it to god bah..actually, i noe that mr lee dun like me..n that it's hard for me to strive in an orchestra where the conductor dun like u..rite? Actually, i must say that part of it is my fault oso..coz it takes two hands to clap..i must admit that i do show him attitude sometimes..but this period of time, i have already changed le...i start to respect him more...coz in terms of experience in music, he is more senior than me..n in terms of age, well, that's needless to say bah..but i realised that he is more bias against me..dunno whether is i tink too much or what..but i dun tink is just my thinking bah..i noe that if i stay on, i will certainly dislike him and may even hate him..so y should i make life difficult for myself??? I told myself that i dun wanna hate or dislike anybody, n i noe that i should leave..besides, througout this week, what i have seen has utterly disappointed me..shouldnt realli mention what ..but is the actions of pple...their attitude, etc..realli felt veri disappointed..so even if i stay on, i dun tink i can be able to commit myself to it..furthermore, my church frens realli support my decision on quitting, so that i will have more time to serve god...nevertheless, i will still continue to keep in close contact wif frens in orchestra like li hua, wei ling, xiu ping, victoria, harison, etc..these pple have realli made me feel at hm in the orchestra, n i realli thank them for being there for me when i m down..thanks guys, muackz.. On the other hand, part of me is realli veri veri veri veri veri sad to have to give up orchestra..coz i have already been in orchestra for five yrs..five yrs le..throughout this period of time, i have been through competitions, growing from being just a nobody playing zhong sheng, to playing gao sheng, where i started to learn..n till now, where i m playing yang qin..not to mention my passion for dizi..but too bad i had no flaire in that..the skills that i have picked up during these five yrs were not realli easy for me..coz given my limited flair in music, i take a much longer time than other pple to pick up the skills...n well..now that i have to give it up..i realli feel that it's a waste..haiz..but somehow, we got to take and give rite? Without giving, we can nv take rite? I still remember last yr, i was oso quite sad after the spco concert..coz i thought it was the last time i was going to play sheng..but it turned out that it's not..but through last yr till now, i didnt prac much..n my skills dropped tremedously..which realli saddens me..so i was thinking, if i were to stop orchestra now, my skills for yang qin and sheng will drop further more..but what else can i do??? As u guys noe..i m a christian..n i nv regretted being one..dun mean to preach here...but i trust that my god will noe what's best for me..n i shall let him decide whether i shall stay or leave..but i somehow think that he wants me to leave..dun ask y..haha..coz lots of explaination stuff..for more info..pls call me..haha..just kidding..erm, so well..that's all that i wanna say bah..i tink ten yrs down the road, my passion for orchestra will still be there..but the skill level..haha..i dare not guarentee..haha..

SPCO concert finally over le..shd i feel relieved or sad??

Haha..ytd..long day siarz..went to sch at ard 1030..to organise my scores n other stuff..well..was not feeling too well..that sore throat was sticking to me stubbornly..haiz..then on top of that, not enuf slp.. coz the previous nite, reached hm at ard 12..then read bible, msg a few pple..wait for them to reply..then slept at 1 plus...haha..drained..then ytd concert, well..was fun...it was my first time playing yang qin for concert in spore..n well..most probably my last too..that's kinda sad..but well..haiz..throughout this week..all these things have made me come to a conclusion..n i tink it's the right choice bah..well..think i shall tok about that later..let me finish what i wanted to say lst..erm..then ytd nite..haha..actually didnt realli prac much..but i have already done my best..n well..haha..tink i m satisfied wif my own performance le bah...haha...shouldnt ask too much from myself..haha..then after performance, changed out of my uniform..then went hm wif huiting they all...this is the lst time, i go concert no need to help out in carrying instruments de..haha..then today, woke up at 8 plus to prac piano..then went to somerset to meet esther and wenli to go service..the songs sang during service today was realli quite ministering...couldnt stop myself from crying..think i m becoming more n more ger..remember that i dun use to tear as often as now de..but that means that i m getting more emotional..so is that supposed to be good or bad? Well..haha..i dunno..erm..next week..the mushroom gang are having outing..but the prob is..i oso not veri sure i can make it anot..coz got church camp but i forgot whether it starts on fri or sat..then besides, tue and wed, i got some talk...then everyday, i gotta work till 1pm..haiz..wondering how to get enuf slp..haha..so if u guys see me still online at 10pm..remind me to go slp k? Actually feeling quite guilty that this holiday, didnt spend much time wif the mushroom gang...must arrange my time better..so can spend more time wif frens..haha..tink i shall end here..then will blog later..abt some orchestra stuff..haha..

Haiz...

Jus feeling so tired that i could just drop dead...life is realli meaningless when u are trapped..isnt it? Just like a bird, born wif wings to fly, but is being kept inside a cage...haiz...this week..spco prac...realli veri tiring..then my mom dun like me to come hm late at nite..then she kept nagging loh..realli getting on my nerves..then now that i m sick..she blames me for keep going out..diaoz..i realli dun understand loh..moreover, i have already been sick since two days after exams..n it's now tat she realises it...haha..so funny..-.-''..anyway..then my caregrp stuff is oso at nite de..n it clashes wif my co prac..what to do leh? I noe tat eventually, i will have to give up one of them..n if realli given the choice to chose, well, guys out there..u noe what i will chose between orchestra and church rite? Haha...well..haiz..realli cant bear to put down what i have chosen to let go..but it will be better rite? Coz, since i cant commit my time to it..then why waste their time? Perhaps i will go there when i have time...it realli breaks my heart to just give up this..but what choice do i have? The time that i have spent in orchestra was like...four days a week in the past..n throughout the yrs, i have learnt the skills of what is required..n given my limited intelligence and musical talent(if there is any) well, it's not easy to pick up the skills...n now, i just have to give up like that? Well..it's like have to learnt piano for 8 yrs..n one day i meet wif an accident n i can no longer play piano anymore...it's just kinda sad..isnt it? Well...i tink i shall have a tok wif ll today, if i manage to see her today bah..dunno whether going co anot..realli down wif a bad throat and headache..shucks...

Thanks joan, i realli appreciate it..

Was on the fone just now, wif joan..coz i told her about my prob..regarding some stuff which i foresee greater problems wif..then she called n prayed for me over the fone..during the prayer, i can realli feel the love of god..n i couldnt stop myself from crying..i m realli touched by the love of god...if god wasnt the one and only real god, then what made Joan and other sisters and brothers to care for me like they are now? Through these persecutions, i didnt fall into a depressed state or become upset coz i noe that even when i face persecution from the whole world, lord will be there for me..n so will be my brothers and sisters..Joan...i realli thank god for sending u to help me up when i m down...amen!

Giving thanks..

Sometimes, it's kind of weird that y man will blame others when their life is down in dumps and forget to thank the pple when he is in his peak...isnt it well...weird? Actually, everything that happens in life is for a reason, regardless of good or bad...even if u r now feeling down in the dumps, dun start blaming pple or what...coz everything happens for a reason..from ur perspective, it may be a bad thing that had happened to u..but trust god, coz god always have a way wif planning ur life. Just like me..that veri day which i have decided to leave my previous church, i prayed to god, telling him that all my difficulties...n that veri day..within 3 hours, i meet esther...who was from HOpe Church Singapore..which is the church that i m attending now...the point that i m trying to bring across is that...trust in the lord..perhaps u are not a christian yet..but even so, when u r feeling down, pls dun give up on urself...=D...n when things are going well for u..do remember to thank that someone who contributed to ur sucess...=D
