2011年即将到来。希望明年过得比今年充实、幸福。也希望明年能着重于音乐。除此之外,也希望能上法语课程。

Burning Man Music Festival

I have never heard of this event until a sister-in-Christ told me about it a while ago. I am definitely keen to participate since it has to do with music. However, after briefly reading about it online, I am not quite sure if I am ready. Anyway, if I do participate, it will be a very different kind of experience for me.

就快告别2010年了。虽然今年所碰到令我心寒的基督徒比前几年多,但是总的来说,还算是一个比较幸福的一年。希望明年不会再碰到令我心寒的基督徒了。

隐形的翅膀 by 张韶涵

This is one of the two Chinese pop songs that can really lift up my spirit when I am feeling down. I am hoping that people who listen to my secular pieces will also experience a boost in their spirits whenever they feel down.

Matthew 7: 21-23

It is very surprising that Christians in general believe that they will definitely enter the Kingdom of Heaven. However, based on Matthew 7: 21, it is not true. It is my personal belief that Christians must have inner transformation that is expressed outwardly in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

朋友在我们生命中扮演举足轻重的角色,所以现在的我选择朋友时会相当挑剔。

给自己的希望

 我刚刚为这首歌的歌词作了大幅度的修改。自己还相当满意。:)


Dare to Dream
虽然我的部落格是记载我的心情点滴、个人看法的一个管道,但我也希望通过它激发读者去追求他们的梦想、他们的人生目标。

My blog serves as a channel to express how I feel as well as my personal views. But more importantly, I hope it serves as a channel to encourage people to pursue their dreams and their life goals.

梦。窑匠 Dream Potter (Mediacorp)

每次观看这个充满温馨的节目都会让我感动。若有更多人肯伸出援手,去扶持或帮助哪些较不幸的人,那么这个世界就会更美好了。

One-sided and possessive love can be suffocating to the one at the receiving end.

Genuine Love

"...genuine love is a self-replenishing activity...it enlarges rather than diminishes the self."

Moral Compass

"True leaders are not afraid to swim against the tide. Their goal is not prestige, power or popularity...They stand for justice and righteousness.

You Have Clothed Me With Your Glory

以前我为这首歌谱的曲,自己听了并不满意。也可能因为这个原因而好久没弹这首歌曲了。刚刚弹了好几遍, 觉得还蛮好听的。刚才也为这首歌作了结尾的部份。虽然结尾很短,但是我个人相当喜欢。现在只剩下前奏的部份了。其实还有好多首歌需要修改的。有些可能是在音乐方面,有些可能是在词的部份,而有些则是在词曲双方面。所以在短期内,可能不会写新歌。

The Power of Affirmation

I strongly believe that there is power in affirmations. I have been giving free English Language lessons to a Taiwanese boy for some months now. Just last week, his mom told me that his grade had improved. I have always been strong  in languages, especially English and Chinese, and so what the mom told me did not come as a surprise to me. But I believe another reason for the boy's improvement in grade was because of my use of genuine affirmations. In the past, when I was doing relief teaching in a primary school, most of my students' grades improved significantly after I taught them for about 2 months and 1 week. (Only 2 students' grades remained about the same.)  I believe that one of the reasons was because I often affirmed them.

As I reflect on how God has been speaking to me these few years, I realise that He tends to speak to me using “pictures” such as visions and dreams, especially concerning important things. I guess it's because I am like men in general. (Men are visual beings and I am one such person.)
