The tender hour...

Was at Mia's 2nd album launch last nite 13 Nov 2009 in Bentley Auditorium...
She performed for 1.5 hours altogether but it was soooo much fun that i didn't even realize that it's been over 1 hour...when she played her so-called last song (cos after that got encore and 2 more songs) i was like..har...1 hour dy ar...
niweis she has a really really really good guitarist...to be honest, the way this guy played(his name is Jun) reminded me of someone i once knew. So i guess that's how i could tell that he is really good. This guitarist is quite a humble and quiet looking man..and young too and i think he's married or not available cos he has a ring over his left finger. hahaha...
it was a good nite...really good music and so glad that Mia is just so down to earth..i think its time for her to be internationally known...Malaysia just don't know how to appreciate her talent until its too late.

Anyways, last Sunday while we the AYA choir were waiting for our turn to perform, it struck me that this might be the last time that Mia will be training us and that we will be performing with her. Suddenly i felt really sad and begin to appreciate the little hours that we have left...she has been soooooo patient with us even though we're not great or very talented in singing. Still she committed herself to train us. I hope we did well enough for her...during the performance, i am happy to say that i didn't hear a single flaw or felt we didn't do great enough. In fact, on my part, i think we did the best compared to our practices.
Am so glad to be a part of this choir this year...last year was a dread for me yet because there were non-christians and christians from other church, i felt that i should be there. And i didn't like MJ's songs..haha
So, after the event, after taking photo with Mia, i gave her a big hug and thanked her from the bottom of my heart for being so patient with us. Then suddenly we had a group hug.
sigh...it was a wonderful event. AYA. When i saw all the events in the past being screened on the big screen, i felt like crying...cos after SOOO long...what we are doing is being shown to people who have not seen it...gosh..i felt like it was finally being shown to the whole of Malaysia...
And backstage just moments before going into the limelight, i felt like what we are doing as a church and all is gonna be a norm in the future. Media peopl are gonna be blown away to see a church who is sooo professional and excellent in all that they do. All because we wanna glorify His name. wow...thank God for having me as part of His great team.
I wouldn't trade this for anything else...
Maybe it was right for me to be back here...for such a time as these...
