Hehe..
Updates eh?
First of all, I'm involved with a bunch of people hoping to form a choir that would serve bring Sacred Music back to Mass, as it is said in the Constitution of Sacred Liturgy, that sacred music is considered more holy in proportion and is more closely connected with the liturgical action. through the two meetings we have had so far, I have come to realize again the sacredness of Holy Mass...to be present in Mass is to be in the presence of Christ.. and how we have watered that down through our lives.. In reverence, hen sacred music would be the more appropriate music to be played in Holy Mass...Yet, coming from a background coloured with youth ministry and campus ministry, I find it very hard to swallow..Will need more time to discern and probably talk to more people about this. For the time being, understanding Sacrosanctum Concilium and reading the Musicam Sacram is very very beneficial, and we have also been practising Veni creator spiritus, pange linguae and pater noster. It's been great, cuz Ben Loh (the leader) is a qualified choir master. We are taught how to better our voice projection... and in addition to that, most chants are in Latin. So it's definitely interesting to me..
Then Helena from Penang has encouraged Jon to start a group guided by the book The Purpose Driven Life.
That would require teamwork, and already have a feeling dat one of them is not gonna be as committed as I would like her to be. But I hope that I am gravely wrong..... This group would hopefully be directed to write and develop a module, under Helena's guide, for school leavers. I have no idea why won't they use the YE. I have a feeling no one is ready to be challenged the way Jesus challenges people. Oh well...it's their prerogative... I am just searching for a place to serve and be happy serving.
Let's not even talk about the ex n his girlfriend.
Gave a session for the CSSUKM exco, and I did not wanna fake anything with her so i treated her civilly, and she started mopping and complaints she cant eat and all...Lord please help me figure this mess out. Why aren't I allowed to just stay away from people who continuously hurt me? Why are you testing me so? To see how much I love you? If I'm willing to torture myself for your work?
Why? Aih...

Sacred Music
Today I was introduced to Sacred music by Ben, an interesting character. :)
For fun, I shall show how I met this person and the gang..
This is how it works...
I knew Jon from Caritas days, where Melaka-Johor Diocese had started building relations with the Penang Diocese. Jon from Penang attended the PAG held in Melaka, and went on to bring the programme back to Penang. This was in 1999.
In 2003, Jon comes to Melaka to study in MMU Melaka, when yours truly helped a little here and there. Then Jon goes off to MMU Cyber, while I go to UKM. In UKM, I involve myself in CSS where I work with Fr Chris who suggests James and Caroline as facilitators for our annual camp. James and Caroline introduces us to alpha in 2006, and upon graduation, I am invited to attend Youth Alpha facilitators weekend, where I meet Damian.
In 2009, Damian invites me to attend the Charismatic Renewal Youth rally held in Klang, where I meet Madaan who works for Sound Tank Productions in SS15..a stone's throw away from SDMC. James invites me to help out in St Thomas More's Alpha, where I meet a bunch of people. Jon comes in contact again, and he gives my contact to Charlene who forwards it to Crisabel, who I happened to meet in STM's alpha through whom I meet Daniel who met Madaan in Sound Tank.. Geez...small world. Anyhoooooo.....
Ben, who I also meet through Crisabel is an advocate for Sacred music to be played in Church, meaning non-contemporary music in layman's term...dun get me wrong, it is not all as heavy as it sounds...just more "churchy".
The idea of following the guide according to the documents of the Catholic church is pretty interesting. The whole idea of the Liturgy of the Hours might sound solemn, but I must say it is truly music dat brings one to worship.
hence I am interested by the idea of learning up more on what the Catholic Church says about music allowed during Mass. More to learn and think about..coming up soon...
We shall commence our weekly Thursday meetings to discuss and brainstorm as well as discern further....
Anyone interested, drop me a line..will explain more...I have documents to swallow....:D
It would be a time for us to informally meet and learn more about this Sacred Music as it is apparently called, with Vespers and Lauds and the whole works in addition to the beautiful Liturgy of the Eucharist.
Coooool......:D

Drama
Tonight I found out I might have been in a relationship which I did not know about..
Man was the most decent trainer in the gym. Never hit on me, always polite, and focused on his work. He was always punctual, and he was always giving everything 101%.
After a few months of Hi and Bye, we talk. We finally exchange numbers, and he invites me to his house to celebrate another friend's birthday. I wanted to go, and so I did. Instantly friends with his girlfriends, and warmed up to his family.
He takes me out for a drink one night, and is the first guy in my life to be punctual. We spend the whole night talking and really enjoyed each other's company.
He invites me over to his rented apartment to chill with his buddies. Thinking it is a normal practice of his, I go over. He was not afraid of PDA. I was shocked. It was not that I did not fancy him, but he was open about us.
Confused I confronted him, and he says dat we cant be an item cuz he'd cheat on me and hurt me. And he says that I'm the last person he would wanna hurt cuz I'm his princess gentle giant. (Yes, he evil...tease me as a gentle giant).
He knew me, somehow. He saw past the toughness outside. He saw me as a girl, fragile and gentle. He was so kind in all sense. And he never laid a finger indecently on me... He'd even ask permission to steal a kiss.
One day his fren asks me in mandarin if we were together. I immediately said no. And I told him about it.
Slowly, he drifted away. Withdrew.
I saw it coming, never expected more.
See, he is muslim, and I'm catholic. We both knew that.
Today I met his friend, one of his girlfriends...
She said He told them he was in a relationship with me for a week.
He never brought a girl home before me.
He only had nice things to say about me.
I was shocked.
She said they told him to end it if he was not serious with me.
About the time he drifted.
Especially if it would not have worked.
The friend is Chinese and his friend who is dating this girl is Malay. Complications there.
I did not know....:(
I'm sorry if I hurt you, mousy..
You really did give me some of the best times in my life. And you completed my birthday..Thank you. I'm sorry if I hurt you unknowingly.
Wished things were different.

things I miss...
I am missing you although it's over.
I am missing you although I've moved on.
I am missing the better times, when things were perfect
But perfection never lasts.
Literally walking in the rain.
Our stay home meals, topped with a bottle of wine.
Our drives into KL where we just bark at each other for getting lost and make up later.
The day before my birthday when you watched me sleep and wrote me the most beautiful piece of poetry.
Our first (and last) valentine's.
You over-feeding me.
Our Titas and english classes.
The days in NLDS.
Our Melaka trip.
Our evenings together.
Our quiet nights on the hill.
Good memories. I guess you finally got what you wanted, me remembering them as fond memories, not painful ones.
Walking on..
