Just like every other year, I would get all excited about the coming Christmas season.

The most wonderful time of the year is gonna be here!

 

Someone said I should update my blog. Haha.

Yes. Entries are becoming uncommon these days. The fact is, I don't have much to blog about. So, don't need to blog-loh.

Oh! But I do want to promote something:

My cousin's Fictionpress/novel/stories/whatever-you-call-it.

Yes, Anna, I've been reading because you're good! Keep it up!

I might just have a famous cousin renowned for her novels and stories. Heh heh.

Click the word Fictionpress to read them!

Yesterday after dinner, i on some nice piano pieces - typical minuet (J.s. bach), ave maria, Nocturne Op.9 no.2 (chopin) etc.. wow suddenly felt like "IS THIS home" ..  reminds me of My piano teacher house with 7pianos in her house-people come in and go practicing their pieces, my dad who loves piano cds on at home.. so relaxing.. ... very relaxing.. ahh...

i love it.

Next time must aim to have a "rEAL wOODen piano" , (not keyboard, not electrical, digital etc piano) at home!! must must must. lalala...

Time flies.. approximately 18 more days, i will say bye bye to my youngest sis. i will  miss her. House will be super quiet without her presence. is ok, next few more weeks after her, i will be leaving on a jet plane too. yay..

nice story i ponder on.......

the famous J.S. Bach.. those who learn piano will defn know him! i remember since very young my piano teacher will want us to play his pieces. Once, when Bach was performing at the palace, his cello was tempered with. All the strings were broken except for the G string. Just when everyone was waiting for him to be embarassed. He played a beautiful melody  using only the G string. which is the very well known piece now "air on the G string" . The story tells me no matter how difficult life gets, You can still play out the most touching melody.

Be encourged !

 

The Muck and Mire

For 30 years he would feel everything you and i have ever felt. He felt weak. He grew weary. He was afraid of failure. He was susceptible to wooing women. He got colds, burped, and had body odor. He feelings got hurt.

To think of Jesus in such a light is - well, it seems almost irreverent, doesn't it? It's not something we like to do' it's uncomfortable. It is much easier to keep the humanity out of the incarnation. Clearn the manure from around the manger. Wipe the sweat out of his eyes. Pretend he never snored or blew his nose or hit his thumb with hammer.

He's easier to stomach that way. There is something about keep him divine that keeps him distant, packaged, predictable.

But don't do it. For heaven's sake, dont. Let him be as human as he intended to be. Let him into the mire and muck of our world.

For only if we let him in can he pull us out.

Genuine worship is not about a certain kind of religious ceremony, whether “contemporary” or traditional.

Rather it is about my response to a holy God, including my willingness to do what God calls me to do.

 

A nice, quiet Friday evening.

Nothing beats resting on your bed, in the comfort of your own room, with the laptop on your lap (or tummy - depending on how you lie down. Haha), and knowing it's a Saturday tomorrow.

Ahhh.. the chance to sleep in. Now, that's a nice thought.

 

Quotes, the good ones, are great and inspiring. Here's one:

Stand firmly in the place where your dear Lord has put you, and do your best there....

The strongest and greatest character is grown through hardship.

I wish i can play keyboard like so many ones. I had my grade 8 cert but that does not meant anything. I strive to practice that same old pieces for exam, scales that i practice a thousand times. I do not remember ppracticing other pieces besides exam pieces. I remember how i hated piano.. because my teacher would scold us so loud and so often.. and my dad would drag me there by force. Many times of wanting to give up. Finally after so many years, i got my cert. "yay".

but...

 

when i play in a christian setting with those chords, it amazed me how i "cannot" play. I felt abit stupid.. and many times i tried to explain to different ones again and again -  is not i do not want to "Give u the thing you wanted".. is because "this is what i got".. and this is what i can give. I can improve, but is not a one night thing.

i felt helpless. and pray so hard each time before i practice..that somehow MIRACLE would take place and Lord, a sweet spirit and pure heart to face each practice.

amen.
