In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sanctus. Amen.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen, how has life been for all of you so far? Today, VLT has inspired me to update me blog constantly by the way of her constant blabbering about my ego and her insistence that she is not a VLT of a P. But really, look at her! So liminal! (Go figure.)

Was sleeping in camp the whole day - from 8am to 5pm - again. Life in camp has become more or less suitable for such mundane tasks as sleeping. I'm still amazed at how Sonic Edge turned out the last weekend. It pretty much reminded me about the Sonic Edge KL all over again. Like the time when Surreal was playing in Bangsar, when they were so tired and all, it seemed as though they were going to collapse any minute. In this Sonic Edge, it wasn't the tiredness, but rather the unpreparedness for the worship set. In both cases, things look very shaky, but also in both cases, the Holy Spirit was really there... behind the bands. I'm so very glad with Joe's testimony too. He is really a source for encouragement, not just for myself, but for many others who came that night. Kudos to you my brother!

Recently, I find myself thinking more and more of my time in Melbourne next year. I'm really looking forward to it because I'm finally getting serious about my life. I imagine myself spending the next 5 years or so there... and even now I'm considering if I should continue to live there after my studies. God is great!

REVIEWS THIS WEEK
+++++++++++++++++

CD: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's "Requiem"
Artists/Performers: Carlo Maria Giulini et al
Comment: What can I say? If I had a funeral, I'd want a choir and a funeral to perform the Requiem in all it entirety. Donutboy, you know what I mean! This is the very work from the Classical Period that redefined the Baroque styles. Go listen to this. It doesn't matter if you like classical music or not. You will still like this! HAHAHA!

DVD: Schindler's List
Director: Steven Spielberg
Cast: Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes
Sypnosis: Oskar Schindler is a vain, glorious and greedy German businessman who becomes unlikely humanitarian amid the barbaric Nazi reign when he feels compelled to turn his factory into a refuge for Jews. Based on the true story of Oskar Schindler who managed to save about 1100 Jews from being gassed at the Auschwitz concentration camp. A testament for the good in all of us. Favourite line: "Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire." This film reminds me of how a sinner, who is so corrupted and morally unstable, can change into a selfless patron when he/she realises the mistakes in his/her life. To recognise your failures is to recognise your strengths too, I believe.

Anyway, that's all for now... Will continue to update constantly this blog. It may be boring now, but wait till the next one... I'll try to be more interesting.
