Colicky week with blessings

Decided to change my blogskin again as i needed something more cheerful to look @...


Well, helping at blue Moo on last Fri (8 Dec) was good. Lugging food & drinks with pearls was like stocking for a whole year of food supplies and my arms ached from all the weight the very next day. There were 2 groups performing that day - Equivox ( a cappella grp spun off NUS Resonance) & an Indie rock trio band, 1-point Brilliance. Really had no idea what's indie rock as it sounded more like fusion music (percussion + guitar). But the band was pretty good, so i hope that they'll perform more often. Danny recorded the whole performance on the mixer and the recording was quite clear and sounded as though it was in a room rather than live.


The last 2 weeks, i am really out of shape. Not that it's physically but more of emotionally.... which had me really drained. When my friend called me, i was holding back my tears really hard as i was hit with the bad news that very day. Thankfully i didn't meet up with certain friends or i'm sure that i'll burst into tears even before i can chat with them. Being the temperamental / emotional person i am, I'm not one who can hide emotions or thoughts very well, so......

Today was quite a relief for me. My friend Cas called me during the week to play the keyboard for her musical drama. I agreed to help her even though i wasn't even in the mood. But i was glad that i did. Cas was invited to have her musical drama by her friend's friend who turned out to be a ministry worker from Kum Yan Methodist (small world hor?). Guess what? the place was really far at Woodlands at a secluded apartment occupied by Kum Yan for the elderly and children ministry. Really unique.


The ministry worker seemed to be i/c of the children's ministry as my role was to play carols and provide backgrd music for the drama. This is a first time for me doing extra than the usual worship songs. As i saw the drama unfold and the children (from the heartlands) who were watching, i am really thankful to God who gave me the musical talent - the ability to play by ear despite my classical music training since the age of 7. Seeing the children from the heartlands reminded me of the many blessings that i have and that God loves me in spite of my familial troubles.


All this while, i never forgot my promise to Him that i use my talent to serve Him. I'm grateful to Him for the pockets of opportunity that He provided me to play outside of church, which is rare chance for me. So praise be to Him, my loving Friend & Father.
