saturday night already. dang it.went to expo after canoeing on thursday. grabbed a cab with a driver that complained about everything the government does. he was friendly though.met Grace Vanessa and Erika there at the Planetshakers concert. Kenneth Dexter and Ian joined later.the concert itself was awesome. on a technical level, Planetshakers and Tim Hughes were awesome. but what just went far beyond that was the testimony the speaker shared. of how a simple live concert-recorded cd changed his life forever. and i guess that really said something.music is a powerful thing; thats undeniable. it has the power to preach, proclaim...and also to penetrate. the speaker...whos name i forgot...had built a strong resilience against christianity all his life...but that one concert altered his view tremendously. and in that same cd brought the song which compelled him to commit his life entirely to Jesus.and just think...if one cd of true worship could make so much of a difference, what more if Christians all over the world rise up and declare the glory of Jesus?many churches across the world have worship sessions led by bands with tremendous musical gifts. with singers with 4-octave ranges and soaring vocals. with guitarists and bassists well-versed in the most intricate of sweep-picking, slapping and shredding techniques. with drummers with a truly amazing sense of rhythm and the reflexes to push through the most insane beats. with keyboardists capable of the utmost accuracy and creativity in multiple layers of beautiful harmonics.and yet, all of this would be wrong without God.and wrong doesnt really mean that it wouldnt feel right...self-centered worship is, effectively, blasphemy. for the attention and the honour should be God's and God's alone. which is why it is so crucial in the position of the worship leader to practice humility, to give the spotlight to the only one who truly deserves it, Jesus.and so, i have lots to learn.gym on friday morning. wish Mr See would let us stay through assembly.Joseph is turning emo. dont go that way man, its not worth it. and you dont even know what would happen.dragonboating competition today.woke up earlier than usual for a saturday. so tragic. walked to the reservoir and the competition site. kinda cool that it was held just outside my house.got there and it started raining. lots of people brought umbrellas and formed a barricade. i stood behind Jason. that was pretty much shelter enough. saw these 3 girls stand behind Mr Ismael. super funny.was put in the sec4 boat. heats were pretty close...and we just won by a close margin. semis went better. finals were seriously cool. Mr Goh decided to coxs our boat. we had a quick prayer. our start was pretty bad and the first boat was like 2 boat lenghts away from us. but then on our long hard we went super fast and we overtook them in the end.at the last part it was awesome. everyone just started whacking real hard. thats real team spirit.i guess i really have to be thankful that i was given the opportunity to participate...even though ive only been part of the team for 2 months or so. i guess what i said to Tim Ng did have some truth in it. there really is a nobility in sports. and for sure, in this one. the ACSi canoeing team truly is great...and given this chance to be in it i really have to be grateful.but dang it i only wished i joined earlier. sighh. well i only can work extra hard for lost time.got a gold medal =) congratulations to the team...you guys deserve it!!
