thoughts from publicity...

ok, this came kind of late... i took some pics at both foochow methodist church and ang mo kio methodist church (where i went for publicity on last sunday). but i'm still procrastinating in putting them up... just give me a little while more.. =)

it was really heartening to receive warm welcomes from people in other churches. it felt like visiting our FAMILY! thank you, brothers and sisters in Christ from other churches! =)

i hope there will be more occasions for us to interact with one another. and we await your appearance at our cd launch!

we did face some hostile moments though. and in those moments, i felt like a salesperson trying to sell something, which i think is good, yet people do not seem to appreciate it at that point of time. the lyrics of 永恒的保障.我们的专长 just kept ringing in my ears when i was "selling" the cd launch to others. (if you want to find out what are the lyrics in the song, then you must come for our cd launch!)

i am not sure how many people felt it (or will feel it). but personally, i think each of these songs hold a special meaning to me and somehow, God seem to speak to me through them. as such, it did upset me a little when people rejected us. because i feel that they are rejecting something that they do not know and they do not even take a second look at it.

anyway, i am really glad that the tickets (and just in case you wonder, the tickets are FREE...) are going out so quickly. i just cannot wait to share the fruit of our labour with everyone out there. and we are talking about the fruit from a few batches of dominant 7th (previously, 青少音乐组).

i am sure that most, if not all, of my choir mates share the same thoughts and cannot wait to share our songs with you, at our launch. the cd-making process has not been easy for anyone who has stepped into the recording studio. but it does not stop there. editing, designing, mixing, mastering.. even now, everyone is still busy with PROPS-making on top of our tight schedule for rehearsals!

however, the process has definitely been sweet and brought us together even more. it is not easy to have people of different age in the same group and yet, still be able to bond in the love of Christ. the youngest in the group is 13 and as for the oldest being, erm... u make a guess.. and it's not me! =)

i really hope to see YOU (whoever's reading this blog) at our cd launch. it has been 5 years of hard work from all of us and even now as we enter into the last stage of the cd-making, we still cannot relax because there is so much more to be done!

at this point, i just got to give a teeny weeny bit more credit to our producer for all the pre-recording, during recording and post-recording stuff that he has done (and still doing) during these 5 years. thank you! =)

if you wonder why we are working so hard, it is really to share our best with all of you out there; and most importantly, to give our best to our Lord. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

it was by God's grace (through the love of a brother in Christ) that we were able to produce this cd. the purpose of this launch is not to push the sales for the cd. we recorded this cd and now we are launching it because we want to share God's love with you. and we hope that, through the songs, you will be able to experience God's love for you.

thus, i hope that those who have not obtained the FREE tickets to our cd launch to contact your friends (who are in dom 7th), or to call the numbers listed in the poster right in the first post and get them NOW. because opportunities do not knock on the door all the time and... our tickets for saturday night (15 december 2007) is running out fast! hope to see you at our cd launch! =)
