sorry if this is a bit late...i came back not-so-early tonight. sound course. i think the instructor can tell that patty and i don't know as much as the rest coz they all question and talk and both of us are just sitting there, listening...trying to understand....all quiet. smiling and saying "er." when he asks a question all that. haha. he was like..."i'll be repeating all these over and over again so don't worry uh catheleen and jhinghwei [or did he call me faith?]" well, it was better today coz there wasn't any physics. haha. and we were in a room where there was a mixer and speakers so we could really HEAR and see things instead of...totally all theory. yay! catheleen and jhinghwei need extra lessons! jeremy, grace[a friend] and risheng popped by at the shop today! now still considered the "after chinese new yr's" period so salon is mostly quite empty except for crazy saturdays. before chinese new yr was like, sooo crowded. now
"the purpose driven life" day 3 "what drives some people's lives : guilt[allow past to control their future], resentment and anger [hold on to hurts which they never get over. don't forgive], fear [ they miss opportunities coz they are afriad to venture out], materialism [ their desire to aquire becomes their goals], need for approval [self-explanatory]. "one key failure is to try to please everybody. being controlled by the opinions of others is a garunteed way to miss God's purposes for your life. "benefits of purpose-driven living : it gives meaning to you life, simplifies, focuses and motivates your life, and prepares you for eternity. " one day you will stand before God, and he will do an audit of your life, a final exam [ sounds kinda scary to me to be honest. because i haven't been doing enough i guess. unworthy. bah], before you enter eternity.......two crucial questions : "first, what did you do with my
ok. hello everybody. i just came back from a sound course which i attended with kathleen. man. it was like, a lot of physics. so i was just so completely blurred coz i didn't take physics in sec3/4. and at the end when the instructor was talking about all the equiptment stuff, both of us were just...?!?!??!? but it was pretty ok. i think patty is gonna give me a bit of tuition on all that frequency stuff so i will be less blur and at least be able to understand the lesson better. there's even gonna be an exam! we'll be alone in a recording whatever room and we have to do dunno what. equalizer. adjust the frequency. blah blah. oh man. sob. whaha. madness. our instructor is like. whoa. and he says his ears are trained such that he can hear like, how many hertz smtg is and whatever frequency whtever blah. oh man. and blah blah. i don't want to be like that coz...like he said, you won't enjoy music as much anymore coz you'll be like, criticising it and all that.
extracts from "A purpose driven life" by rick warren. chapter 1 "If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. you were born by his purpose and for his purpose. "Focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life's purpose. "you cannot arrive at your life's purpose by starting with a focus on yourself. you must begin with God, your Creator. you exist only because God wills that you exist. you were made by God and for God. "life is about letting God use you for his purposes. "we can turn to what God has revealed about life in his Word. the easiest way to discover the purpose of an invention is to ask the creator of it...ask God. "God is not just the starting point of your life. He is the SOURCE of it. "It's in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us f
