K i know ive been complaining about having no life and all.. and that i really dunt have time to do anything.. but i find her always by my side literally whenever i study or even blog...
Ok mum and friends... b4 u freak out and think i really do have a girlfriend and start probing me with questions.. the she im referring to is my guitar!~~~ (well honestly it aint exactly mine, im borrowing from a friend indefinitely.. Thx Miss Leo!!)
Maybe i'll just share a little history on how i got started with the Guitar.
It was a dark and rowdy nite in Canberra when it all started. I was brooding over the fact that flies were constantly in my face all the time and more so that my housemate Leumas Gnow a.k.a Samuel Wong was going back to Singapore for good and the thought suddenly hit me that we would only be left with ian and sam to play for lifegrp (considering mel was going to plant a church and joy doesnt come as often as we'd like her to). I figured that maybe i should go pick up the guitar too!! And Guess what .. God paved the way to making me a guitarist!! that night itself, Sam all of the sudden gave me a crash course on guitar chords, when i went back to brisbane, Samuel tot me more basics and chords, when i went back to singapore, i honestly wanted to buy a guitar but in the end i managed to borrow a guitar from a friend to practice and just when i wanted to give it back to her, she got herself a new guitar and told me i could use her guitar indefinitely. I was like... amazed at the turn of events and i really really thank God for his provision =)
Isnt she so kewl!!
Now...i cant seem to keep my hands off the guitar !! i play and play till my finger tips turn blue and are aching with pain.. but i just cant stop.. everytime i start playing praise and worship songs with the guitar ( i call her Toto by the way -_-).. i just cant stop singing my heart out in joy and loudness... yes.. loudness
People normally sing in the bathroom.. but when Sean's with his guitar.. Whole nother story...
There was this one time i tink i got a lil over board and sang till my room mate complained hahaha.. at first i was kinda sad about not being to really play the guitar and sing as loud as i wanted but i figured i would just close my doors and window and just play something soft and slow... little did i know i would go back to door banging decibel volumes again haha..
Also Amelia, Charmaine and me have formed a small band called... MINIBAND (can imagine jaws dropping) where we come together with Charm on the keyboard, Me on the guitar and Am with her *cough* air drums/vocals to just sing praise & worship songs and the occasional damien rice songs that Am forces me to learn -_- .. Cant wait for the day we can stand together in lifegrp or even better to play for Service!!!
But i really thank God for everything so far, indeed he continues to blow my mind everyday and i'd be a sucker not to live for him.
Thank u God!! and not forgetting all the peeps that have helped me in my walk with the guitar haha
