Delirious? - Forgotten. PAINT THE TOWN RED - delirious? Just as Delirious? left the music scene, I have left my memory of Delirious? far far away too. As I read thru Twitter that their song, "History Maker" went into the UK Charts at No. 4 on April 4th 2010, Easter, I was pleasantly surprised. It brought me back to the days when I was inspired as I listen to their music. It is so secular in style, but yet I can always feel the anointed energy behind their songs. And I love it. I dreamt that one day, if it would ever happen, I will want to make music like that. The Christian Music scene today is great, no doubt about it...but to me, Delirious? is the ONLY band who has done it the best, and the only band I will EVER look up to with regard to project crossover in terms of the SOUND of music. I have always wondered why Delirious? never made it into the secular charts with their awesome songs. I mean seriously, every song in their album is DOPE. Super impressionable on the first listen. And can last you for years! I just re-listened to their songs @ Youtube like 5 minutes ago, and I favourited each one of them! I can never get sick of them. I aspire to make music like that, really. It's awesome. But more than that, listening to Delirious? reminded me of the zeal I had for Jesus and the church as a young believer. 5 years have passed by just like that. Wow~ I'm re-ignited. I'm gonna be a his-tor-y maker in this land! Labels: music, sweet memories 2:40 AM

Pray! + Rosyth 6bd gathering Just recently, mum and brother complained of some unusual symptoms....I need to pray! For my family to be protected and blessed with good health. Spiritual warfare? There are also people around me that I observe in need of prayer....I want to pray for them too. God is definitely a faithful God. Delay is not denial! We have to be still and know that He is God. I feel bad for not being home today when my family were at home. Haven't been spending much family time with my parents and brother this week. :( Am going to spend sunday with them. .  Settlers Cafe @ North Canal Road! We had the best turnout of about 15 people ever since like, 5 years ago? Haha. It's amazing that 10 years have passed since our primary 6 in 1999. That's a long time - and it will keep getting longer. Haha. I hope that even when we are in the marriage phase, have kids & get old, we will still meet up like this. Until we get old and senile! That's the idealistic me babbling.... Friendships forged from young must be treasured...because this is the phase when humans are most real and sincere. Although we grow up differently, we kinda know each other the 'best' in terms of who we really are as young kids. Everything that we are today is built from those times as kids. All of us have an antenna that can sense. =) Okay, gotta rest asap coz church in 7.5hrs time! Am doing mask now. Tired but contented. =) Labels: daily rantings, sweet memories 2:11 AM

Relishing (part II) I can't sleep. Must be the coffee and hot choc this afternoon. ARGH! Anyway, I might as well take the chance to complete the post on Relishing, since I realized there are a few more people I should express my gratitude to other than the cast, director and stage crew. 1. Shirin's husband Heng, who came down with her on one Saturday to school to assist in our rehearsals in whatever ways he could. Oh! Btw I found out from Shirin after the Thai Express celebration that he is a primary school teacher. Heeheehee! 2. Shirin's friend, who is obviously experienced as a director of hugely successful plays, who came down and help to see our full-dress rehearsal today and give us constructive feedback. She is REALLY good, I tell you. The most important thing is she so humble in attitude and so willing to give good suggestions. Without any hidden agendas. That's amazingly rare to find. I think true theatre persons (not the wannabes) are those that are genuinely down-to-earth and humble. And to think I still don't know her name! :( 3. Ms Nora Samosir for clarity in her teaching style during our practical tutorials. She is an effective communicator. Love her! And despite her strict demeanor, beneath lies a friendly and approachable personality that makes it difficult for us to call her our 'teacher'. But once the strict demeanor is up and about, we wouldn't have any question that she is our teacher la. Hahaha. 4. Our fellow practical tutorial groupmates! Although we are broken up into 3 different groupings for this final practical exam, I am still very much appreciative of the times when we worked together for mini-practical sessions such as the Cockroach Opera and Autumn Tomyam. Not to mention mass class physical workout sessions! Practicals have been fun, fun, fun! PE lessons all the way man. Hope we can still keep in touch after exams and after the semester is over. :') Have been gushing too much. Should moderate a bit. Hahaha. In facebook even worse. Looking at all the comments on photos, my groupmates (and myself) are obviously still living in the Communist fantasy world of Fanshen...sigh. God is good. :) Labels: daily rantings, sweet memories 2:18 AM
Relishing I've allowed myself the whole of tonight to relish in our successful staging of Fanshen, Section 10 Scene 1 to 3 for our practical exam. It is coming to an end as I'm going to bed soon and a new day is coming. MUG TIME!!!!! After a blast at performing for practical exam today, we let our hairs down and went Thai Express for celebration. Woohoo. All photos available for viewing at Facebook.com I cannot thank enough Francine's army friend who came down to help as lighting guy and stage crew members. Lighting is the most stressful of all, because of the different combinations of light cues even within a 15-minute scene. Although the outcome wasn't perfect, it was already more than we could ask for. Kelvin came in just for 1 rehearsal to familiarize himself with all the lightings, then today is the real thing already. We had 2 light cue mistakes, but that is considered very good already!!! If i was in his shoes, I'd probably gabbrah alot of times. That's probably why I am acting instead! Hehe. I went home and washed my hair thoroughly. Cos my dear husband Wen-Te blew his cigarette smoke into my hair. It is part of the scene, when he is trying to disturb me and get my attention. Thank God Nora (our practical teacher AND examiner) allowed us to light a cigarette in the LT! We were afraid it would sound the fire alarm or something, which happened the day before while rehearsing at another venue AS7. That was a false fire alarm due to fire drill. We were joking that if we're not allowed to smoke in the LT, and if we do light the cigarette, it will be de-ja vu. Wahahaha. The second disgusting thing is Wen-Te sharing a chewing gum with his father, Yu-Lai. GROSS to the max can. But they really literally shared the gum, spit on the floor, then put back into the mouth again, and finally spat it out again. I CAN NEVER DO THAT!!! Unless you give me 10 years to prepare myself pyschologically. Kudos to Praveen and Deming for being so professional although it's just a level 1000 module!! I LOVE MY PROJECT GROUPMATES. They rock.
