anw this dilemma of long entries is a result of the fact that i've been super busy the past few days. plus there was smthg last time that i wanted to say. abt the fox and the sour grapes. which i really believe that pple dont give enough credit to the wise old fox for being able to think rationally to remain happy. i mean, so he can't get the grapes. then he reasons to himself perhaps there's a reason for him not to get the grapes. a bigger reason than himself. so basically why do we say "fox and sour grapes" in such a negative tone? the fox is wise.. wise enough to see the "bigger reason in life" that many of us fail to see..
so don't use the phrase in a negative sense. capisce? haha.. okaaay..
in any case today was the RCC (Regina Coeli Choir) concert. the peeris-influence on the RCC is relatively high - jackie n jon esp.. and it has what every S'goon district choir has to have - a nerva ambassador [my choir has TWO nerva's.. think abt it]. anw RCC has 3 peeris's, even more than any one SFX choir - 7am has 2 (including me); 9am has 2. then again, 9am has gomez's as well.. but well.. bit further in the relations line. anw the concert was great.. and i think that what i saw is the face of catholicism in the future - esp with all the youth groups springing up, even in SFX church - the cell-group phenomenon, aided by a strong music ministry. its quite exciting to live on this verge of smthg so new and exciting; we seem to be following the footsteps of our Christian brethren, and i believe definitely its a good thing. oh well.
i wonder how gd a peeris-choir wld be. definitely we'll leech on our more accomplished cousins. haha.. i'm glad to be from such a musical family; though sometimes i wish i wasnt because its really hard to be anybody other than a miniscule pawn - i always get the feeling that the age gap of 7 yrs between me and jackie is to blame for the fact that i believe that i'm still quite small (young) there. and it won't change. plus i believe anthony will experience the same thing. oh well..
yesterday was pawai maintenance day - we had to go there to pluck grass from the courts. in case anybody doesnt noe, i'll repeat myself. again. my platoon (flight) is in charge of pulau pawai which is a live firing area for the RSAF. i'll include a picture from google earth; i hope it isn't "wrong" in any way.
Anw, its quite cool, seriously.. i wont give a zoom in picture of my island, but its the middle one. and if u see properly, u can see my little bungalow-resort-chalet on top of a hill with 200+ long steps up. hai.. thats the onli problem with the place, with the exception of the overwhelming population of mozzies.
But seriously i'm so glad of this "vocation". not because its a slack non-physically-challenging vocation, but because there's a certain romance of the sea which captivates me. i always thought it was smthg that everybody shared, but in a short survey (i asked one other person) i realised that isnt true. in any case, its true for me; and the fact that i look around my bungalow-resort-chalet and i can see the sea on all sides; and the fact that i see the sun rise and set over the sea jus adds to that wonderful feelign of anticipation i hv abt gg to the island. that island, i mean..
i suddenly rmbed some show abt "gg to the island". the show is "the island" i beleive. and its so different.
Anw, lets hope the island doesnt let me down.
gtg.. ciao~ out.
