"...but of Love, of Joy and of a Sound Mind."

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 24-25

Ok, since it's is not a secret anymore, I can at last lament about the time the DW dealer in Singapore is taking to deliver the oder I made. Ahrhghghg... so for now til it arrives, I shall stare at this photo and drool... SW, dun be jealous!

Greg Bissonette is a great drummer!

I bought his DVD called " Musical Drumming". He is an all rounder. Just look at his CV and u'll know what kind of style he plays by the gigs he played. He is also quite a joker, like me. No wonder I enjoyed it so much. There are 4 hours worth of drumming inside. Most of the lessons are practical lessons unlike the Thomas Lang, which is noit unpractical, but it's emphasis is different. Greg Bissonette's DVD covers a wide range of styles and he share about his approach to the drums in each of those styles. He also stressed on a lot of principles and attitudes about drumming that most young drummer must learn. I really enjoyed watching about 1 hour worth of it. I'll definitely work on some fill ideas that he talked about: mainly with the different variation of the paradiddle roll.

This is definitely one of the best instructional Video since Steve Smith's.

Bible Conference

Bible Conference posted on www.2tim2-2.com

The Jacob Prasch Teaching Conference 2005 will be held in the period 7-11 July 2005. Keep a lookout for details of this conference in the subsequent months. It's days before the EA trip! What a trip this conference will be. I look fwd to it!

I think I'll attend Wed's morning's Colosians class if I do not have work. It's good time-out of the house. Talk about time, what am I going to do now til 2pm. I better not waste time and waste my life away on the net. I am finally logging off.

I want more of You, Lord Jesus and less and less of me
The shorter my days on earth, may you increase in me

They'll know we are Christians by our love

That's the last song in the JOC album. It's also the first song I learned on the guitar thanks to Boon Heng. It's great to finally hear that song on a recording. It's a simple song, very simple song and I am surprised the did it.

Jars of Clay

The lastest JOC album is pretty amazing. It's actually an album that pays tribute to the Hymns and it's aptly named "Redeption Songs". This reminds me about an article I read about Christian music. It said that today's church music lack any deep doctrinal meaning. It wasn't trying to knock down mordern worship songs, but it came to a point where very little songs contains doctrinal elements. Worse still, some have wrong doctrine! Most of them are filled with emotional responses of onself to God. Remember, such things are no invalid. They are! I love those emotionally charged worship songs and every time I get into it, there is always a weeping pool within me. Yet, my heart rejoices when I hear a song that contains doctrinal truths of the God. It kind of reflect the bible's interpretation of God on His terms!

So let's sing some hymns and let's rejoice in God!

Ephesians 5:19
Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord...

Welcome Onboard!

Hi all, I have decided to use blogger because it seems like a lot more fun. Another reason is because it's pretty tedious to go between journals and lastly it's also because I am lazy to handle both at the same time. Moreover, being a disorganised person, it won't help me at all. So here I am now. Thanks for staying with me. Thanks for reading, I hope u'll get to know me a little more as I bear my teeth out a bit and share what's in my heart. I hope you will be blessed! Oh, if you want me to link your blog, pls leave a note in "comment". Thanks!!!

The Winner is...

Shaun: The winner is so clear!! Sigh...

Tia: Who is this dude? I'll go read a little bit more about him.

To the Rest: Thanks for coming in here. Don't take everything too seriously here. Just chill out and be stupid!

Now for some UEFA Champion League thoughts. Last night I woke up and manage to watch the later half of the 1st Half and the whole of the 2nd. Andrei Shevchenko is a great striker! He has become one of my favourite now. PSV didn't do that badly, but AC Milan has the best defence in the world! They had their share of chances but Milan made theirs count. I also have a new favourite Goalie, PSV's Brazilian custodian, Gomez. He is good!

Chelsea is playing Liverpool tonight. Guess who I will be supporting? The team I love to hate, Liverpool! I hope the advance to the final but lose to AC Milan so that they will be our of UEFA Champions' League and Everton will be in instead. Also, because a team who will finish 5th in the league doesn't deserve to be any kind of champions.

Liverpool, I am with u until next Tue, so GO BEAT CHELSEA!!!

This are the youths who attended my wedding. I don't know how I manage to get so many of them down that day. I am so disorganised that I forgot some people, the feeling sucks!! But SW doesn't have such problem.

I am always praying for them. They are precious to the Lord and it's my desire to help them as they grow in the Lord.

My back-side. Ha! My fave drum photo taken by Julian from the 3-letter sessions B side launch gig. I have decided to get a high resolution of this photo and blow it up and put it on the wall in my music room. I think it looks inspiring.

Oh, I can't stand myself!
