GIrls, time for another good book =)

It's always like that! LOLZ! everytime god blessed me with something awesome I wanna blog it out or write it down, but always! I mean, most of the time, lolz! I failed to do so... 0.0 apani!
But nvmd~ LoLZ! Or, when I open this blog, I just duno what to write anymore, those thoughts that were floating in my mind just.. whoosh! dissapear! 0.0 hmm........ but at least, it is imprinted in my heart already. =)
Just like this book, I have so many thoughts after reading it, and I really wanna blog about it, but now, when you ask me what to blog about, I really don't know, because I guess, reading this book by yourself is the best testimony. So, just go ahead and read it if ya are free. =P

C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it careful round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in the casket --- safe, dark, motionless, airless --- it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable... The only place outside Heaven where you can perfectly safe from all the dangers ... of love is Hell.

Colouring

I love colouring. =) It requires a lot of courage. It shows who you are. And it brings you to a place where you never thought you will be. That's why I love colouring. =))

Sometimes, we are too afraid to colour the white spot, as we'r afraid that we might ruin the whole picture, but because of that we might miss the beauty of it being coloured.

At other times, we were too busy colouring that we forgot to look at the whole of the picture.

It's about not having too much, yet not too little. Having the right colour and having the right amount.

The balance.

This is why I love colouring. =))

Words are unable to draw out the moments and it is definitely so much different from what it looks here, and how we read it here. Anyhow! it is still a very useful reminder, memo, to our memory.
I pray that for this semester I would continue to grow in Him and to improve more and more. =)
And I pray that even when there are challenges in life, I would have the courage to face it and to not lose faith as everything happens for a reason.

Thank you lord. :)

Music + Therapy = ?

Yeap yeap! one performance down! no photos, no videos taken. =X lolz! but the recording is imprinted in my memory! =) Scott, Terry, Meredith, Stuart. Yeap! my groupmates. =)
It was hmm.. awesome? ohkay? I still prefer the rehearsal better. lolz! I think all groups performed better during the rehearsal.

Last week's forum, it was a performance by these two people: the husband and wife from queensland. and it was awesome!! =) I not only love their performance, but also the concept.
They did mention something about bringing music back to where everyone can play it. It is not suppose to be an expensive thing to do. to play an instrument. We are caught up in a society that we thought we need to have that XXX brand instrument, or that awesome but freakin expensive instrument to sound good. But actually that's not the case. IN fact, every sound has it's own beauty and we should indeed embrace their beauty instead of looking at the shiny instruments in the shelf. It is a form of appreciation I guess and a reminder that everything has its own beauty as long as we really pay attention to it.

Their performance is based on percussion and piano. Where the piano is just superb! =D he modified the piano in a way that when he played it, the sound fits so beautifully to the percussion. and I never knew it was the piano until I was trying to see wht is he hitting. it was jz really small and random things that he uses to modify the piano, some random bolts, nails, paper and fix it on the strings of the piano. It was awesome! the percussionist too was excellent! she uses simple plates, papers! ropes! I wouldn't forget how she played the rope and the paper, the sound was just, incredibly brilliant.

And today! wala! another performance/ assignment 0.0 (I'd rather it to be called performance) lolz! the BIG BAND! where all music tech students shall now play together as a band! how cool is that! the song used is "In C" by Terry Riley. =DD love his concept too. and all of a sudden it has become.. wud I say, a dream come true? or.. another puzzle found to the mystery of why I chose music therapy out of no where when I was younger and why now music and psychology, and why in this music tech course, and finally the flow of everything that has happened. anyway! back to his concept! yea, he proposes that this piece is a social art work. which means, this brings community together and the importance of social interaction and where everyone can play and join in the fun kinda thing. =) the concept of community, bonding, interaction, relation. To me, it is a form of therapy. Therapy is just another "scientific" term where the core lies in the importance of connection between people as after all, we are social animals. This bringing people back together and forgetting about other things, "for example, status, pride, money those really realistic and significant things that stops us from being who we are" concept is what we need in the society right now. REal playing.

Well, hope we will have heaps of fun while doing this orchestra thingy! lOLZ! =D

Jam+butter flies! =D

o-M-g! =DD))XXSS!!! lolz!! am actually rather nervous now! woops! =P one and a half hours later, I'll be having my very first performance in adelaide, erm... official performance. =P am nervous! wuh! lolz! but the jamming session in the afternoon was real fun, really really fun! =)

I can't believe I'm actually jamming using DRUMS! LOLZ!!!!! when I dun even noe how to play a stable proper beat! hHAhAHAHZ! but thanks to nic! for the three drum sessions! that now I can fool around with the drums! lolz! it was jz so fun! =))))

For the past few months, things have been happening and yeap, life's ups and downs, etc etc, but no matter how, in all ways, I would love to thank god soo soo much, yea, for everything that He has done. There's an overflowing gratitude not only for His grace, mercy but also his guidance and so much more.

I pray that Juno 6 will be a good boy/girl later, and produce wonderful sounds, and I really pray that for the performance later, it would be an amazing and blastful one, and all of us would enjoy the music and everything shall go smoothly.. I really really hoped everything went well!

=)))

wuh!
