Waking up to the sudden realization that you are in Malaysia can be quite a funny feeling. But this morning, it kinda felt like home. Maybe its because I come here so often, perform here so often, or maybe its simply because half my relatives are here. My dad's Malaysian. was.

Did a little shopping just yesterday. And in 3 hours a bought a hefty 6 tops and one berms. I could go on. But had other things to attend to with friends. It was fun helping Esther with things at Allegro. Mark and Joan are certainly shining examples of what wonderful and helpful kids are in this day of parental dottiness.

Concert is tomorrow! I might need to find a new suit because instead of bringing my Tux, i brought another suit which now, seems to fit a little too tight!

Tonight is another posh night. Am going to meet the boss of "No Black Tie", who is arranging a solo performance for me next year here. Interesting showcase they are asking for; first half classical piano second half jazz piano and voice. Nice!

Then again, my choirs back home have told me they miss me. And yes, me, them.
Things have gone wayward back home and i intend to fix it the first rehearsal when i'm back. Thank you eileen and lorna for helping!

Other than that, its still KL for me!

I'm back in malaysia again. Performance this weekend. In the meantime its practising and a little shopping with friends. or a lot i mean? hah

Just received p.s results from friends who called yesterday. (thanks)... i don't know how on earth they managed to get so much information about this semester's results and work! However, i am glad for all of us. The exam sharing and support really helped and i am sure it paid off.

Esther's birthday is this saturday! What a great time to celebrate for her here. Going to one of the best restaurants in KL. I better prepare my tummy for it.

Looking forward to enjoying this week man!

The usual fun.

It feels like just yesterday that my choir performed at the 2007 feast day performances.

Today, the Seraphim choir sang at the 2008 St Cecilia's Feast Day Choral Exchange. There were choirs from different churches who sang beautifully.


The Seraphim Choir
"Mary Did You Know?"


"Ave Verum Corpus/Agnus Dei"


Christian Medley



After the performances I managed to meet up with to LMC exco committee members kenneth, john, darren, jac, and francis, who invited me to join them next year, in which i am seriously considering. =)

My choir sang well and most importantly, I know they've learnt a lot more about sacred music, and gained much more experience by watching other choirs performed.

And I must say, I am truly proud of them!

Came across this Christmas song "Mary Did You Know"

Its so beautiful that i wrote an arrangement for my choir to sing.

Couldnt find any audio recordings except on youtube.
so did a draft recording of it. hope it isnt too bad! haha

enjoy!

Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you.

Mary did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little baby, you have kissed the face of God.

The blind will see, the deaf will hear and the dead will live again.
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak, the praises of the lamb.

Mary Did You Know?

Mary did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding is the great I am.

The blind will see! the deaf will hear! and the dead will live again!
The lame will leap! the dumb will speak! the praises of the lamb!

Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?
This sleeping child you're kissing is the face of God.

Mary Did You Know?

Finally got myself an IXUS Camera!

Yeah man!

Always wanted one.

Was shopping around at Sim Lim with Ron and went through some really bad stores which were out for profits and nothing else. But thanks to Ron and his wittiness I finally settled for the Ixus80IS (the Silver one) at a good price!

Really happy with it and hope it will serve me well, especially for my kind of usage on pictures. Hah...

Special thanks to Angela and Elf for the pictures. =)


















And of course.. i had to do that 'Darius Thing'. hah!

I think these Advertisements are the type where it really hits you and makes the big impression.

Now how i wish Sg had these kinda ads. But then again, i think there'll be more accidents on the road. hah...

Enjoy!

Angela's Birthday party went crazy! It was so fun most of us went crazy with the dancing and games. And of not to mention, the singing! haha... Glad i booked the Singapore Airlines Ballroom for her man! At the same time we snapped many shots while Angela was busy entertaining other guests. Went for some late night KTV at the KTV room after the party. Williana entertained us with her powerful voice which got the rest of the audience in the room applauding, after which audrey and i took a duet. Hah...


Happy Birthday Girl!
