MY 100TH POST!!!

Ok.. Unfortunately I have to make it short due to my computer.

Good things:
1) Got promoted to Lance corporal

Bad things:
1) My last pet quail died on Monday, age 3 years and 6 months old. :(
2)My grandfather is in the hospital. I gotta send him there in an ambulance... but fortunately, it's nothing serious. :)

That's all for this 100th post. :D

Before I start blogging, I think I should clarify somethings first.

1) I apologise if anyone is hurt/insulted by my comments in the previous entry (if any).
2) I am refering to the black sheeps out of the Eurasians committee. Eurasians are nice people. Just that these 2 black sheeps... sighz.

This choir incident has changed me alot. I guess it's good that the choir got disbanded. I can get to move on after my decision to leave the choir. I guess, I hope I don't want to interfere with things in the Seraphim Choir, especially when those people who are the trouble makers in the choir returned after 2 weeks of sabbatical leave. Oh well, Joe Arul's conflict with Frankie reminded me of my grandmother's conflict with my mum. In another words, Joe arul is just like my grandmother (father's mother), who is now in the old folk's home.It's a pain and tiring to deal with these people. By the way, Maryann just got appalled by the way Dorothy spoke to her during practice (in a negative sense), cause Dorothy has not spoken to her in her tone on Friday before. Frankie nearly wanted to step down as well.

But seriously, the Music ministry needs people like Frankie and Winnie, Suszan etc and not people like Joe Arul, Dorothy etc. I hope that the New Seraphim Choir will be able to continue well even when these people return.

On my sensitive side:
This whole choir saga has somehow strained a friendship which I treasured. History repeats itself, this time is different situation, same consequence. We have to move in different directions, especially when the Youth music ministry has started and seemingly properly structured and the future for our church Youth Ministry seems to be bright under new leadership. Our church music ministry is still going under some transition stage. Our call is different, and we have to serve faithfully to our call and trust in Him. In times like this, we have to leave everything behind and move on from here. It will be a burden in my heart.

Anyway, here are some new events which I should look forward to in the course of my music ministry:
1) Playing for the Ground-breaking ceremony, laying of the foundation stone for the New Church in Pasir Ris- Church of the Divine Mercy. It's going to be my first time witnessing such event. How many new Catholic church can be built in a small, pathetic place like Singapore?
2) playing for Legion of Mary Mass on 18 March (Sunday) at 3pm.

Some pending issues:
1) helping to set up the children's music ministry??? (still waiting for the children's ministry's answer and interest)

Some long term events:
1) choosing hymns for mass from August 2007 onwards.

I know I will be alone this time with some guidance from Frankie.





You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord
who abide in his shadow for life
Say to the Lord, "My refuge,
my rock in whom I trust!"

And He will raise you up
On Eagle's wings
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun
and hold you in the palm of his hand

The snare of the fowler will never capture you
and famine will bring you no fear
Under his wings your refuge,
His faithfulness your shield

And He will raise you up
On Eagle's wings
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun
and hold you in the palm of his hand

You need not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
though thousands fall about you,
Near you it shall not come.
And He will raise you up
On Eagle's wings
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun
and hold you in the palm of his hand

For to his angels he's given a command
to guard you in all of your ways;
up on their hands they will bear you up,
lest you dash your foot against a stone
And He will raise you up
On Eagle's wings
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun
and hold you in the palm of his hand

Eagle's Wings
