A time to Reminisce the past year

Its kinda late to be writting about this topic. 3 weeks into Jan 2006 and here i am just starting to talk about the past year. but i guess its better late than never.

just the other day, was back at work after the long holiday season, a customer from this particular church came to my workplace to make some purchase. i was kinda late for work so when i stepped into the office he was already waitin gfor me to process his purchase. as i process his purchase, he started to look at me in a weird way, trust me, its those that will get you paranoid. well anyway i start to get jittery and tried to concentrate on my work. then the silence broke......

Customer: do i know you from somewhere? i think i've seen you before.
Me, smiling and keeping my cool: izit? (in my mind "are you psycho or what?")
Customer: i know where i've seen you!
Me, starting to freak out but still keeping cool at the same time: oh really.
Customer: you are the one that......
Me, biting my nails and keeping cool, cutting him mid-sentence: one what? what one?
Customer: ..... one who was singing at the Narnia thing!
Me: hahahaha.... yah i was the one.

At that moment i was thinking to myself "should i be glad that someone actually recongized me or should i feel embarassed cos i know there were more bad sessions than good ones"

Anyway because of this particular incident, i can't help but start to recall all those song presentations and dramas and dances i've done in thye student group. it brings back great memories but also memories that makes me think "what was i doing...." =)

Here's some of the things i can remember. i won't say which are bad cos i think mostly are good... heehee

i've sang in japanese and spanish for 2 seperate services. it took me 1 week to momorise the japanese song. it was a few years ago. kept on listening and listening and listening till i got sick of the song. manage to pull through. i remember during practice, either geoffery or gerald from AWAM asked me, "eh you know how to speak japanese ah?" so funny. i wish i could. i remember those i am closer to making fun of me. even till now, they still make fun of me but in a good way lah. not those that breaks down your spirit kind.

For the spanish song....... i think i really sacrificed myself leh. why i say that? because 3 weeks before the ESS, i was recovering from chicken pox. so after i've cleared up, i went for the practice immediately and put up the song that week itself. the whole ESS was a success. truthfully, i enjoyed it cos it was a fun song to do and everyone, including the musicians were having fun.

Did 2 mandarin songs. one was with jacob, the other one...... dun want to mention. it gives me goosebumps. the song is too Rou(4) Ma(2). EEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! if my friends got to know that i sang that song, i'll be doomed. they would think that i've gone sissy on them.

Did a few comtemporary christian songs and secular ones. rock, mid tempo...... i dun think i've done any slow songs before. did a few x-mas carol presentations. co-led in 1 x-mas service with shirley and gwen. i personally like the ones i did with some youth leaders. it was a dance and song and rap item. very fun and very nerve wrecking. can see who has a talent form dancing cos some of them, their legs like hands and hands like legs.

talking about dancing, i danced twice. thats all i'm gonna say. but susi is a great dancer despite her age. she is quite nimble and agile compare to some of the younger kids. Alright susi, you've done our age group proud.

i remember there was a time where i co-led pnw in camp with priscilia and in service. that really create a stirring in my heart that that is what i wanna do for God. i'm praying that in adults i'll be able to reliaze this goal in my life again.

I'm hoping and praying this year, 2006, year of the dog, will be wonderful for me. my goals that i've set, my hopes and dreams will all come to pass. so far, i'm on cloud 9. but i have my doubts. izit too fast for me i asked myself recently. but i dun really care lah. i'm giving my best.

Only one life and soon will pass, only whats done for Christ will last....

Peace.
