Thoughts Unleashed.

When everything you once held fades away..

Scattered words and empty thoughts
Seem to pour from my heart
I've never felt so torn before
Seems I don't know where to start
But its now that I feel your grace fall like rain
From every fingertip washing away my pain

I still believe in your faithfulness
I still believe in your truth
I still believe in your holy word
Even when I don't see, I still believe

words and lyrics from Jeremy Camp


Sometimes anticipation is still not enough to match realization and reality..
When it hits you, it still hits you hard..

When everything you once held fades away..
Your strength..
Your will..
Your direction..

Your..

Confidence..

All there's left is a figure, waiting to shut itself from the world..

Escape..

Lord I still believe..
Even though I can't see..

Rescue me..

I need You now more than ever..

Places I've been to..

Been a while. Yea. It's really cos I've been too busy to blog. As of now, I'm posting cos I can't sleep. Legs too itchy cos of the damn mosquitoes. And ate too much supper just now. Bakka. Where have I been to? I can't really remember since my last posting, but I'll just upload what I can remember.

Anyway I joined up with this band called The Ha-Ha's. Found them on jamtank looking for a drummer. After listening to their music, I didn't really think so much, just pm-ed them and said I'll be their sessionist. Since then, I've been privileged to jam in canggih-manggih studios I've never been to before, and also have the experience to be the only chinese dude trying to look cool in a place crowded with bumiputeras. hehe. You can check them out here. Even got my name as 'drummer' now. Haha.

Anyway, there's this studio hartamas which we jam in last month. Before we went, my bassist Ramzi sed " eh Joshua, sini studio best la. Drum set dia cukup ok. tak semacam drum set studio kat Akakarya". I was laughed with him and was thinking " ok, shouldn't be some drum set I haven't tried before."

Boy was I wrong. The moment I stepped into the studio, I glanced at the drum set..and lo and behold...



I almost cried..It was...so...beautiful..

hehe. Anyway. Let me show you the wonderful studio. It's called Black Brown Blues.

Wait..

I think it's Blue Black Brown...

or..

Brown black Blues....

.....

hmm..anyway..here we go..a tour of the studio..




Yes Enoch..you can wipe the saliva of your mouth..your t shirt wet already..:p






the most canggih drum throne my butt has sat on. church's drum seat is made like the bicycle seat, which I really think is not good for guys after seating so long...almost like crushed walnuts...

............


Anyway music wise, it's been quite enriching. I haven't stop growing and moving forward. Don't have photos for The Ha-Ha's gig, but for the other gig can check out at my housemate's blog.

Went for a mini worship concert with Acstream at Sentul. Once again at moments like these I'm always reminded of the gifts and talents God has given me. And I'm glad I used it to serve the King of Kings.


Teens. Starting to get more involved in this ministry. To praise and worship with teens. I tell you. there's much more freedom. more liberty. and I get a sore body or sore neck after that. hehe.

work.

Wow. So much has happened. I can't possibly jot it all down. at least for now. But it has taken me to places. Everywhere. And I lurve it. I like to be everywhere and anytime.

Recently I headed to Great Eastern office at jalan ampang where we had a seminar. Last time went I was working for D'Jungle People, we held team building for companies thru seminars. Everyone would be wearing the same t shirt. I often wondered that time, what is it like to be working in a giant corporate, walking among hundreds of employees, wearing the same baju, talking the same lingo.

well. I didn't have to wonder no more...


hehe..

felt quite stupid at first..till both my bosses popped up spotting what everyone's wearing too! hehe. Then it felt better. keke..

It's getting late now.
I mean early.

My work brings me to places everywhere, like I mentioned before. Usually, alone till I meet my prospect or client.

Past few days was crazy. Out of the blue I have MDRT's popping up like mushrooms talking to me.

ah. the work life.


Taken at Ikano.3.45pm.

Time to bed. I miss a lot of people. Haven't seen them in a while. You see the empty chair opposite me in the pic above?

I wish it was you sitting there. and you. and you. and you...

ja.
