Things to be happy about :)

Today I first received a sms from WangDaJie. The contents of the message was... "Wah! I can't help but to share tis to u all! Wendy is playing violin 4 ah mei next wk!! Yeah!" When I saw the message I was thinking to myself... Who is ah mei? Some friend of ours or someone we know... I thought harder then I realized... Its Zhang Hui Mei! Oh my goodness!!! WendyMAMA is gonna play for ah mei!!! Yes, she's going to play the violin for ah mei! I am totally elated and excited for her! Especially when ah mei is one of Wendy's favourite singer. Way to go MAMA! Jia you!

Then a few days back, Simin was updating us about her collaboration with the chinese ensemble. Looks like things are looking bright on her side too. And they had their gig at St. Regis... Way cool! :) :) :)

I truly feel happy when good things happen to the people around me... the joy is just so infectious :) at least I feel joyous!

Today's gig at C-Nai... It was nice to have my elder brother and sister-in-law coming down to support. And it was unexpected but great to have Minhui and Yiling dropping by too. :) Thanks!

This week I had the privilege to spend some time with my younger brother too... wahahhah! I brought him out to do CNY shopping. Treated him to Kenny Rogers which at first he thought the place was called Carls' Jr. Haha... He's such a loveable brother. Its just a joy to have him as my brother. :)

Once again, I thank God for the many blessings I have in my life. And... He provides. :)

A good start to the year 2010~!~!

I played at the Esplanade! Its a dream come true... Haha! I have always wanted to play at the Esplanade and I did it at the start of this new year. A good kick off to the year 2010!

I was involved in Alex Wang's "No Explanation" Concert @ Esplanade's Recital Studio. I played 2nd keys... yeah! It was a very enjoyable time and I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. And praise the Lord for a good show and the opportunity! It felt really good to be playing with a band, especially when they are all great musicians! I enjoyed the songs I was playing too... Initially it was hard to digest but after playing it a couple of times, it gets to you. Nice songs composed by Alex. And I think all of us saw Alex's spirit and enthusiasm in doing things; something that we all felt is good to learn. :)

To conclude, I really had a great time! Although because of the concert and other commitments I was quite burned out, but everytime we went on stage, I felt the energy coming back! It feels good to be doing something you like and I feel ignited in my passion for music after this... keep going Caleb! Its going to be an arduous journey but keep to it... :)
