Listening to: A Whisper & A Clamour by Anberlin
Afternoon everyone,
Had quite a decent day yesterday! Watched a few series and movies in the morning, headed to the gym after that. Did some stamina and upper body strength training, it's been good so far.
Trying hard to push myself towards getting my first pull-up done, and to go swimming again. Not to forget curbing those hunger pangs after a fantastic workout..Either that or getting protien shakes. :P
Anyway, the highlight of the day was worship class at believer music! (oh yeah, if you guys didn't know, I started attending advanced worship guitar at believer music. It's a music school dedicated to helping raise worship team members & CG musicians. Made up of experienced Christian Teachers from all over Singapore. My teacher's this guy called alvin..share a same approach to worship as him as he's from City Harvest Church. Quite cool!)
The past few weeks of worship were interesting, learning new chord formations and about the higher positions (chord voicings?) in acoustic guitar, and a little bit about music theory. What's pretty cool is that they do their theory in roman numerals and keys..They tie the chords in a key to a roman numeral formula, which lists out all possible chords and combinations to it.
Anyway, my class & I learnt "God of this City" by Chris Tomlin. It was a pretty challenging song, especially the transfers from high to low voicings, switches of strumming patterns and keeping the emphasises and pace right. But it was really good! I had a really great time playing and learning though it was slightly above my pace of learning.
My Favourite Band Picture-Hillsong in Africa. Love the colours.
I thought of something pretty cool after yesterday's class though - wouldn't it be cool to combine worship and charity? think about it. I think it would be cool to do something like what Hillsong does with the I Heart Revolution! It's combining the things which i really love to do and engage in: Volunteerism, Philantrophy, Events, Business and Music. I would hope to one day achieve something like Hillsong. Even if it would only achieve it's maximum at a local level, i would be really happy and fufilled.
Kinda driven and inspired after that class! Well, that's it for yesterday. Preparing to head for bible class, gonna sort out some finances with mum after this.
well on the way to personal progress and development!
