And the long holiday ends...

Yes my long chicken pox mc has finally come to an end. Two weeks of staying at home was yes boring, nonetheless it felt good to just stay at home to relax/read bible/play guitar/watch videos/do pushups and not travel 3 hours a day to and fro camp. Of course I missed my camp, my boss, my malay and chinese friend.

So coming back to work isn't that bad, it was quite refreshing actually. My malay is still as funny, my chinese friend is not so lazy(that's a good thing, really.), and quite a number of the others just kena-ed extras for stupid things like talking back to sgts, waking up late next morning after the night of duty, slping during office hours etc etc. Haha and guess what, someone stole my No. 3 shoes. So I have to burn a hole in my 11B and get a new pair from e-mart, oh well let's just forget abt it.

Work is just work. Routine orders parade state course-graduation preparations printing bday cards applying and cancelling leave for lazy ppl buying food and drinks for BIG boss delivering and collecting mails handling mcs. Haha sounds simple right? Wait till you have to do them all at the same time.

Last night I chionged chords until 1am. Damn tired.

Dinner with yihui and luan later. And I need to practice TODAY IS THE DAY. Hai the solo is SO HARD. GOD!

I'm BORED.

Okay out of absolute randomness, I decided to post a picture of my pedalboard! Haha?!

CHICKEN POX!

YES it's really chicken pox. THEY MAY BE SMALL, but when they start screaming 'SCRATCH ME SCRATCH ME!', the feeling sucks like hell. Lol ok la the doctor gave me calamine lotion. Works really well. Hope I will be okay by Wednesday. GOD GRANT ME SPEEDY RECOVERY! AMEN. Haha I shall spend more time with God, at least He won't get infected.

Sick.

Feeling rather crappy now - aching all over my body+headache. But no fever though. Hope it's not chicken pox. Lol sat in peter's car last week when he was in the midst of having chicken pox. ARGHH and yes i never had chicken pox in my life before. The good thing is if I really kena, I can get TWO WEEKS OF MC! But then again, I'm playing for svc tmr, cpm next friday, svc next week.

GOD I CAN'T FALL SICK!! unless you allow me to. Haha oh well guess I really have to trust You in this man.

Anyway Daniel wants to do the crazy Lincoln Brewster rendition of 'Salvation is Here'. GODSPEED KAI!!

Brand new year, brand new start, brand new challenges

Oh well i'm back again blogging! I doubt anyone visits anymore. lol sorry for being unfaithful in this. anyway it's 2009! yeah it took me abt a week to realise that. 2008 had been really fun, carefree and filled with joy. it was my 'debut' year in y-wam. haha alot of perspectives were widened throughout this year. looking back, i think i played for almost every major event this year. i played for every single ess(at least 1 out of 2), easter, christmas, camp concerts, jump.. ohh except for the 2 cpms. haha wad a privilege to be able to serve God in the area of my passion. i think one of the key resolutions for me this year is not to NOT get involved in EVERY single church level events. lol not because i wanna slack off. but because it's time to train up NEW GUITARISTS! haha. well a good start would be the upcoming cpm on 16th jan. i'll be playing with a fellow ex-northeastian who is in tertiary now. it's gonna be a great opportunity to share my knowledge and experiences. and of course the key is not only to impart skills but spirit as well. hope i can learn something from him as well.
