Its been a crazy week. Rehearsal for pastor Dan Koh's cg member's 25th wedding anniversary on a Sun morn (5 Nov 2005) was great. Though it was a simple one, yet it felt fulfilling. I guess when u have a heart of servitude towards God, your perspective changes. Ppl had been asking me why i am not playing in the worship team or when i am going back to the team.
Frankly, i don't know how to answer them. Bcos the last few years, i have been feeling dat smth is wrong with my playing on the keyboard. My skills are deteriorating. Joy said that i had improved but i beg to differ. I think it's my heart + musical taste that had changed.
Gordon, it's not becos of Budak. It is me reflecting on my playing on the worship team as a whole as servitude unto God. I dropped out becos i felt that i no longer feel that i am growing as a musican after playing for 10 years now. I just became a musical robot. My conviction is that God wants my best, from the heart.
Yes, my aca grp Beats & Pieces 'butchered' a familiar carol arrangement of ours, "White Christmas". It has a jazzy feel as i told the group that it would be good if we sing it dat style. Ah ! I have to imitate the saxophone in my singing = vocal instrumentation. Really thankful to God for blessing us with 2 gigs & even potential ones under the umbrella of Barker Rd Methodist church. Yes, i am looking fwd to next practice. More butchering a la Budak style, i hope ! hehe !
I'm also looking fwd to hearing Budak singing @ UFM on 18 Nov, a Friday nite with silent, weijie, jezialle & her frens. Irene & jewel, a real pity dat u can't go wif me...well, u'll be going wif me for e Dec one, rite :D ?
