Music, My Life

Tears of thanksgiving and and gratitude to the One that bestowed upon me His gifts and talents. Tears of joy, and more tears of thanksgiving.

It might seem ridiculous to be this emotional with tears welling up in my eyes in the middle of SIM's library. But honestly, I don't care. My soul and my heart is overwhelmed with unspeakable joy and thanksgiving to God for being faithful in answering such a simple prayer (in fact it was more of a thought than a prayer). It all started out when I stumbled upon a classified ad 4 days ago which says:

Experienced Singer/Pianist wanted. Please email (email address given)

And instantly, something struck me. I have always been passionate in the music I play because I know that God gave me these hands and fingers for a reason. Morever, it was so DIFFICULT and UNUSUAL to find an ad amongst the rest of the temporary/permanent and others section that wants "Experienced pianist."

Though I know that the experience I have might not be comparable with many talented pianists out there that perhaps has a degree or graduated with Honours from some prestigious Music School. Still, it was as if the words in the ad jumped out and possessed my brain and heart. I really want to get a job that not only has a good pay, relevant work experience but most importantly one that is close to my heart.

Alas I submitted my resume and wasn't really expecting anything but in my heart I just whispered to God how good it would be if I had that job. This morning they replied me, thanking me for my resume and would call me if I was selected. Oh well I was alright about that (as I said I don't expect much), but THEY JUST CALLED ME AND ASKED IF I COULD PLAY JAZZ AND CONTEMPORARY. I said yeah of cos and THEY WANT ME TO GO FOR AN AUDITION next week! What are the odds of the doors of oppurtunities and coincidences opening just like that!? All I can think of is God.

Dear Jesus, thank You for everything you've given me, especially this gift and talent of music. If it's Your will Lord please guide me through this audition. You know how nervous I can get when I am playing music that is not for You. May Your favour be upon me, may Man's favour be upon me. Let Your will be done in my life. Forgive me if I haven't trusted You enough, when I am little in faith, when I doubt Your faithfulness in my life. Now I know that I am so wrong, I can only marvel at Your works and Your sovereignty. Open my eyes to the work of Your hand. My faith has been restored Lord. Thank You for all You've done!

EP 630 Earphones

YAY THANKS DEAR FOR THE EP 630 EARPHONES! It was so nice of you to get a pair :)

Today should be labelled as grace's-most-humiliating day EVER. What are the odds of your ADIDAS slipper spoiling on you (when adidas is supposed to be branded?), walking barefooted on the wet, slimy and dirty cemented floor while its raining cats and dogs? GOSH it was awful, simply awful and I really looked haggard, dirty and a total mis-match. I hope this will be the first and the last thing that will ever happen in my life!

Thankfully, the day wasn't ruined when I met dear and we both went to creative warehouse sale together. The queue was so horrible and I felt that it wasn't justified with the amount of things that we were going to buy. Worse still, there were only 2 cashiers?! I almost had the urge to "feedback" about how inefficient they were. Just imagine we were carrying our bags, standing in the queue for almost 2 hours?

Pre-Menstrual Syndrome

Did a research on pms, realised that 80% of women in the world are facing this issue, with different degree of course. And guess what, there are 150 emotional and physical symptoms of PMS.

Should I say amazing? NAH, its disgusting. Take me for example, I suffer from acute menstual cramps - So bad that the doctor prescribes painkillers. Mind you, the common pink tablet as they call it the menstual pandadol doesn't work on me at all. But I take comfort because those who suffer extreme and super duper painful menstual cramps like me will go through childbirth like a breeze! :)

Still, childbirth? Ewww, after knowing the knowledge of how-the-doctor-gets-the-baby-out, childbirth irks me, ok at least it scares me.

Grace's list of PMS symptoms

1. Sudden overwhelming fatigue

2. Sudden increase/decrease in appetite

3. Craving for SWWWEEEETTTT food

4. Snaps with a snap

5. Less smiles :(

6. Giddy spells ( I'm anaemic.)

7. Lazy

With that being said, to all men out there who have sisters, mothers, wives or girlfriends,

Please understand this irritating phenomenon when your darlings get a trip on the emotional and physical roller coaster ride.

Trust me, as much as you hate it, girls hate it too. Unfortunately, it isn't something that can be cured because up to today, the origin of PMS is not known. So..bear with it people. And tips for guys (if your darlings are going through all of the above), pamper her with sugar spice and everything nice. She needs it, and it wouldn't harm your wallets to spurge a lil' more, wouldn't it? :)

Queer Events

1. Dear's house is attacked by ants (apparently I'm the ant killer and ant detective)

Don't get me wrong, I don't look for them. Ants just appear in front of me! even when I'm without my lenses, those puny little things squirming around, circling around their traces.. They just irritate the hell out of me! The worse thing is, I see them everywhere and it makes me wonder what is wrong with me (or my eyes) I guess it just shows that I am meticulous? super observant?

2. (Andre if you're reading this, laugh it out) I was sleep-messaging andre when he messaged me Of cos I was already wandering off LALA land, reply him weird spongebob messages.

Andre: "I ate krabby burger for my birthday."

Grace: "Spongebob calls them krabby patty."

Andre: "Damn I am craving for krabby burger."

Grace: "Get a maid, krusty krabs is close."

3. I had this weird nightmare which is simply ridiculous and crazy. Not going to mention cos its really WEIRD. But I remembered when I was fearfully nightmaring, dear whispered to me "Spongebob, Spongebob"

Thanks loads for meldred for satisfying my adrenaline rushes! Awwwh.

Thanks Esther for that chocolate stained spongebob sticker!

Dear, rest assured ok? I will keep us going no matter what!
