im dead beat. just back from another jam session with the band. i have very lame bandmates! Laughed like mad till i got abs today. We all swapped roles midway for fun, and i became the bassist. I love bass guitar! hahaa im such a noob at it though. Elias is teaching me soon! :)
Was in Malacca this week for 3 days with Ty, desmond, geraldine, Su ern, xian lun and Seng tatt. Ty gave us a crash course in photography before the trip (sorry dude for missing your lecture!hahaa), and it was more of a photography trip than sightseeing. But. ive no pictures on me now! Parents brought the camera to japan, and they came back one day before i left for Malacca. When they passed me the cam, they told me i cant take photos in the daytime! True enough, all my daytime photos turned out looking whitewashed :( Thanks Ty for lending me your camera during the trip!
Despite the trip starting off on a stressful note, resulting in me spending $31.65 on cab fare (arghh. long story!), the rest of the trip picked up from there :) Malacca surprised me. i thought there would be nothing much to do, but the place turned out better than expected ( i still prefer singapore though! hahaa) Good food. Equatorial Hotel's international buffet was awesome. A&W! Chicken rice balls! Good photography. Will upload all the b.e.a.utiful photos i took once i get them! Good company! Watched a movie ( i am legend) for the first time overseas cuz we were too shagged to walk anymore at night. Thank God it didnt rain at all, and we had strong sunlight for photography. i need to lose weight and save money now!
Christmas is coming! A friend mentioned to me that she wasnt really in the Christmas-y mood. Which got me thinking. What exactly gets us in the Christmas mood? Presents? Cards? Shopping? Parties? Christmas is so commercialized these days. We fill the days leading up to Christmas with activities and events to celebrate the festive season. But at the end of it all, do we really feel satisfied? Have we grasped the true meaning of Christmas? daniel played a beautiful song during guitar lesson today. its called "Christmas isn't Christmas" The lyrics are beautiful. hahaa im trying to work out a jazz version of the song, hopefully ill get to play it to some of you guys if i manage to master it. but anyway. In the midst of all the festivities, i must spend some time with God. i pray that He'll give me a renewed understanding and appreciation of His gift of love to me, and to all of us this season.
Christmas isn't Christmas chorus:
Christmas isn't Christmas
Till it happens in your heart
Somewhere deep inside you
Is where Christmas really starts
So give your heart to Jesus
You'll discover when you do
That it's Christmas
Really Christmas
For you
verse:
Jesus brings warmth like a winter fire
A light like a candle's glow
He's waiting now to come inside
As He did so long ago
Jesus brings gifts of truth and light
And makes them bloom and grow
So welcome Him with a song of joy
And when He comes, you'll know that
chorus
