old songs, new songs.

old choir. new choir.
many of the existing choir members now...
did not exist in the near history. (near future? near history!)

well anyway.
today was just like any other sunday.
fun, relaxed, excited.
many youths dont agree.
well thats ok, cause im no longer of this world.

On the way back home in qihui's car, we were listening to some of the old songs our choir sang.
i could recognise some, but what i can figure out was...
how the songs sounded so great where everybody kept their tempo.

then we moved towards this song titled
"moulded your way" or something (man.. i cant recall)

brings back memories..
sang it at barker methodist during... eh.. methodist's birthday i think.

it sounded the best so far, so unknowingly, torsten beside me appealed for qihui to drive slower so we can finish the song.

just like how every other part of a body understands the other, qihui went
" oops i missed a turn"
and so there we were, 'missing' that particular turn, finally buying time for the younger batch of our choir to finish hearing yet another masterpiece batch before.

while listening to the songs, i drifted with the clouds in the sky.
peering up, dreaming, i was sure i saw the rainbow even before the storm ceased. ( there wasnt a storm, no there wasnt a rainbow either :))
What i meant was.
I was reminded again of what a family i have in this choir.
Indeed a choir isnt about plain singing.
Its not about coming together in voice, its also about coming together in heart, mind and soul.
All in the name of God, of course.

well. If we were to survive this concert/cd-launch, such togetherness
(in the truth) sure will come in handy.
Togetherness uhh.
the rainbow is appearing, the storm has yet to cease.
Now that's hope!

Together.
No storm too tough to brace!


HANG ON!
till the storm ceases

Very nice Tuck. Just like a old school story. I am sure when we read this 20 years down the road, haha maybe some of us will start our own families then, we will feel even more gratitude to God for Dom7 that has left an imperishable imprint on our hearts :)
