Diatribe Of A Mad Bassist

Here is a video of the new Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd… well.. just watch for yourself and see what he did during a parliament session…

Played for a prayer meeting yesterday for the new English Service that’s gonna start in Jurong West next week. For the first time in a long time, I was actually nervous before the meeting started. I guess it’s cos I haven’t played for a few weeks already and this is my first time playing for prayer meeting since like..erm… SOT overnight Prayer Meeting? Ya, but by God’s grace, think we all played very well.

During the meeting, Pastor Zhuang prayed for the Musos and the Song Leaders from JW… somehow at that point really felt God’s presence upon us up on stage. And later when we broke up into groups and prayed for one another, the 4 of us were praying together when I felt God said: “Do not think that you are second string anymore.” Then it dawned upon me that this is indeed the time for the new batch to really rise up to the platform. The new musos, new song leaders. That we should not think that we are second string just because JW is a smaller service in size, but it’s just as important as the ones in Expo. It’s also sorta considered one of the main services. So instead of thinking small, we should start changing our mindset and rise up to the platform. (Am I making sense here or am I rambling already?) Anyway, felt yesterday was rather significant in the sense that the people who are going to play and those who are gonna song lead for the new services were together on stage for the first time. It really marks a new beginning… Eigene was telling me that she feel that this is really the next generation of musicians and song leaders… all the more we should guard our hearts and not let complacency creep in. And to be honest, it’s real easy to be complacent and have pride and attitude problem when you are on stage…it’s sorta the “always being in the limelight” thing….

Was talking to Miss JA about yesterday… well, just to tell you once again I really know what you are going through. But really I encourage you to pursue your dreams and callling for God. Don’t let what you feel get to you too much, you can do it one… let’s fight together!

Seriously, I’m starting to lose count on how many weddings I have to play for… so much so that I will only ask the songs for the wedding in the very week that I’m playing for. Well at least over the last two weeks, the two “major” weddings that I’m involved in are over. Major meaning being part of the entourage and playing guitar at the same time. First was Miss P and Mr Chee… erm now also Mrs Chee…

View from Guoqiang’s house in the morning…happening view of the city…

Me and the groom.. I was the official pig man of the day.. The pig is heavy can… hai..

The newly-wed couple…

One thing I like about weddings is that you meet friends you’ve not met in eons.. these are all the ex-members from years ago.. some of them I already know for 10 years.. man…

Ok, then there was Terence and Yieling’s wedding last week. Super torturous sabo for the entourage… sacrificed my ear for him… haha.. anyway had a mini SOT team reunion.. most of them were there but not all were there for the group photo below…

Some.. like half of Team 17 here.. oh yes.. IVAN AND GRACE ARE ATTACHED! Haha.. can’t stop teasing them that day..and yes my hair looks funny.. and it’s possibly the blackest since I ORD-ed

Taking sometime off to rest.. William, Kelvin Guo and Lynn..

Super tiring past two weeks, plus the fact that I haven’t been feeling too well… Oh Well, till the next post..

Scary/ freaky Drama from 1988 that freaks me out till today.. it’s on re-run every monday 10.30pm to 12.30pm.

Just listen to the theme song.. scares the hell out of me… makes me wonder why Mediacorp can’t come up with such powerful dramas now..

And this is the episode that creeps me out the most.. watched it yesterday night and had a nightmare after that.. yes.. stop laughing…

It’s that time again for the annual Black Ribbon Project. It’s a time where we remember the hard work of the musicians and support them from being bullied. Again these are the campaign posters I did. Feel free to contact me for details on how to donate to us!

Yesterday was Eliz and Thow Wee’s wedding.. that’s like the first of six weddings I’m gonna attend over the next 6 weeks.. yes.. that’s like one wedding every weekend.. ahhhh….

Anyway here’s a pic the CG took with the couple.. Congrats Eliz and Thow Wee! Enjoy your honeymoon!
