mUSic

I was just relax to spend my Quiet Time after bathing. I sat there, talking to God, remembering His concern to my family and my prayers to Him.

1) I want to know You more (since young I knew Him, but I'm sure there are more of His interesting traits for me to know Him deeper)
2) I want to commit my life to You again(few days ago I recommit myself to God in prayers)

Hoping that He is pleased with me now with what I am, I told God that I'm not perfect. I thought that if God speaks to me today, about anything, I'd be thrill! So I kept quiet but after some time nothing happened. I guessed my five senses won't work and I need to have more faith in Him. I even got carried away to dig my ears with a cotton bud. Somehow I need to be more focus and discipline.

Later, I returned to my praying mode. I opened my eyes. Disbelief, the word "music" on my stinky yellow bolster caught my eyes! There were many other words such as house, lovely company, let's play balloons (huh? hahaha), honey, cute cute (yer...), pineapple juice and etc. "Music" was catchy. It has two letters that captured my attention- "US" , reminding me about God and me. He will walk me through my whole music career / ministry / life. Another assurance from God that I chose the right path. I battled with myself few days ago, doubted about the whole music choice. Now that He has assured me enough, no more doubts Daphne! Just continue to obey Him and He will make straight my path. I want to keep myself close to Him.

Think mUSic, think US ! :)

New hobby

I have this new hobby I just discovered like, 5 minutes ago *flashes teeth*

Angel was the first to hear about it.

It's another hobby for me besides playing the piano, called - Playing The Hymnals On The Piano hobby! Tadaa! =D Yes yes, it's still related to piano, friends.

It was pwetty amazing to modify the hymnals to something called soothing and contemporary hymnals. Also, I still remain the Baroque style but added some flavours of mine.

Can't wait to get the Apple Macbook (yala yala... she's so action =p) from school to have a good recording quality and then I'll just upload it on Blog/Youtube.

Whee~ I'm feeling happy! And I bought a good pair of shoes-meant-for-walking to school hee!

Quote of the week

Hold on to God, you gain everything; hold on to everything EXCEPT God, you lose everything.
by Pastor Vincent Lau

Month of December

Hello. These are the days that I don't have anything to blog about. But I would still like to update some things over here. Ain't want any cobwebs to appear in this blog, and of coarse the moving pairs of eyes that received information she-never-update-again-lah! , sending it to the cerebrum. I must have been missing my Biology quite awhile :)


Never heard any news from my dearest sister travelling across Germany and their neighbouring countries right now. Praying that the airport are not shutting down because of the heavy storm. Also, I had to dig up my dusty music sight-reading and scale books hidden in a box beside my piano for placement test in 3rd of January. Started to study some theory basics too which I had some time to retrace my memory from yesteryear's of learning music theory.


Christmas is also just around the corner. I had my last caroling with my bunch of wacky church clan. Sunday one was the most tiring. From 1.30pm right up to 12am. Pheew, good thing our throat survived. One thing that pinched at the corner of my heart was that this autism boy who sat in the midst of other children caught my attention. He smiled from ear to ear when he got a present from the church caroling team as if he just struck a jackpot! I wondered how many times do these kids get presents in their entire lifetime and counted myself as one blessed kid. See him in the white shirt looking at the camera? Christmas is a time to love.



Then below are some caroling photos from Angel's camera. Presenting... Angel and me! Above :
Fatigue syndrome children nyek nyek =D
I was one of the yellow tamborini girls.
Carollers went to Assunta Hospital

And to some church member's house
Managed to squeeze in some picture time while singing tsk tsk tsk =p

I love my church fryens!


Note : All the guys are busy filling their stomach gahaha!

more videos

Check this out too, cool PVC as instrument :D He even played Pirates and Gaga's song and others, super farnie la...
And nigahiga for the second youtube.
Credits to Esther my sister for telling me.
Guess I'm too free to scroll youtube whee! :D



Inspired

Jon Schmidt is awesome! Now I recalled who is he from the second song Pachelbel Meets U2 Alex Foo sent to me. He's super skillful man. I'm also very inspired from Jon Schmidt's friend to pick up cello after seeing how beautiful he played nyek nyek! Lots of love to these songs!
(Thought I've heard of these songs many times, just found out that they are from the same guy, talk about me being blur yes, now I would just like to share them with you :D )

Also, he did the first song for his seven-year-old daughter because she loved the song she heard in the car with her daddy...so sweet!

Enjoy these three soothing songs! The last song is more of a I-Want-To-Play-Like-Him type hehe.

Post-spm days and choices to make

Post-spm days are supposed to be relaxing... that was what I thought. I was wrong. My days became more hectic than usual. Having a due date by 24th Dec for my application to ICOM is indeed another stressful thing. I had to say no to my friend's birthday party. I had to practice 3 different genre of songs (i.e. jazz, classical, contemporary) everything by Wednesday!! *faints*

Angel Ooh, my good friend is going to help me out with the recordings. She has been a great help to me ever since I started off with the Bangkit project, she was the one who encouraged me to NEVER give up and never made me feel suckie too :) If you're reading this, thank you and I really appreciate all that you have done for me whee~ *winks* Looks like our hang out became more often- movies, band practices and meetings nyek nyek!

Getting myself in to ICOM and to study music was an important calling from God. I had to do an audition of 3 different genre of songs and haven't been touching classical and jazz for some time, but God has been great for picking the 3 best songs for me. He will see me through my season. People might have been telling me that a career in music won't help much in future, but only God knows what the future will lie ahead and that I could do some help for His kingdom. My parents finally agreed to let me pursue my music in the Berklee Transfer Programne (BTP), God must be the one who had spoken to them especially mom who hopes for the best in me to be a dentist. By doing His will, He will make the impossible to be possible. I've thought of 2/12 majors when I'll be in Berklee-

i) Contemporary writing and production
ii) Film scoring
These two will involve me in the music/film/movie industry, basically the entertainment field which I'm pretty excited about it.
Lets just hope that I won't change my mind about it. The other 10 majors sounds interesting too! Gaah, will choose one of them later :D

Despite all the rush and my class will begin in January 3 next year, I'm still blur but sure that this is the right course for me. I'm growing up, no more spoon fed by teachers in school. I have to make wise decisions and seek God more often. The mistakes that I made, I have learnt. In whatever my choices are, I will still praise the Lord for helping me to decide carefully. Did I mention, I'm also a detailed self cautious well organized neat-freak perfectionist? Gaah, it's a gift, and not-so-much of a gift sometimes!

I'm feeling under the sky right now :)

Dec 9


Yahoo! That three-letter word ain't in my dictionary anymore whee :) Actually I don't quite feel the excitement yet, my sensory receptors are somehow slow in processing information. Only maybe later I'll get the feel of excitement. No more schools and no more science and maths books.

I was waken up by Yuha's phone call (my good friend)- A news she told me that got my receptors quick to respond! "Daphne, your NS site will be in Semenyih," and there goes my holiday. What entered to my cerebrum was that I'm-going-to-NS! information pfft. Ah, but the others news was I got into the first batch and there's loads of holidays for us. Then again, I can't get to do what I've planned to do. This is soooo irritating like a flea nesting on the skin! Oh well
, I shall put it aside because today's my precious sister's birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAE ESTHER!!

I don't have the new photos in this comp nyahaha :D
This wonderful sister I have here is one of my biggest inspiration
Cut the part where she bullied me (teehee) when I was an innocent little girl (still am an innocent one)
She was the one who encouraged me to play the piano for church
When I suck in it, she never made me feel sucks about it :D
And of coarse the good times when she does a prayer session with her siblings
and tells stories as if she is a story book
Can't celebrate with you again this year.
Will skype with you later and...
I miss you! <3

Blue to Pink

My blue days are coming to end soon... on Wednesday! And the pweetie pink days will come when I get to get out from school! Okay okay, the truth is I don't have any ideas to write something new now. Sorry peeps. But what I'm really excited is I'll be going to this MADWORLD- A contemporary stage show featuring dance choreography, drama and music, a joint production between DUMC and SIBKL. I shall bring my drama clan (including my drama teacher) to watch this stage play!! I'm friggin in love with stage plays, musical, drama and yesh yesh musical and drama! It's gonna be a fun and fruitful night.
