New Church, New Beginnings

It has been one year since I decided to make ARPC our home church. I miss my friends, but I so love the new experience in a new environment. The fellowship with my new found team mates in the worship team was great. I was totally fooled into thinking that they only had great piano, but when I sat with the band, I was totally shocked by the standards of all the players! Now I have new favourite songwriters: Keith & Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townend.

I was so hyped up about playing last weekend because Jessy chose "Mighty to save". A Hillsong song!! It is the second time I heard one in ARPC. The first time was actually almost 4 years ago during PS' baptism. The song that day was Geoff Bullock's "This Kingdom". Back to the point now. So I felt hyped up with the new drum shield and all, I still need to control my dynamics. It's really hard to control in such a small hall, but I played my best. Urgh, but my tempo was horrendous! Ah, but that is nothing new, but the long time way from the drums caused me to adopt a very bad posture on the drums. The upper back pain that started when I was in Beijing two weeks ago just made it hard to sit up straight. Here are a few things I think I need to do for some immediate remedies about my posture: 1) Sit about an inch or two higher 2) Raise the while kit higher so that I do not need to bend over to hit any thing. 3) Stop using Steve Gadd's reason for moving the way he does to justify my bad posture 4) See a chiropractor.

Now, the sucky thing is I would be busy on shoot from April u til mid July the latest. The only thing I can do is to hit the drum pad again. And because of my schedule my band's recording have to be put on hold as well.
