Practice Night

Got off work on time cos boss was not around. Walked from office to Tiong Bahru Plaza to waste time and see if I can get anything. Deciding that there's nothing to buy, I went to have my dinner at a coffeeshop. Chicken rice , add rice...

Proceeded to Irving's house. Tze Yee was the one opening the door. I exclaimed happily that I was on time. I had a glanced at the clock in the house and saw 7:15!! I was 15 mins late??? I was confused for a while, and took a look at my watch... chey... their clock was faster by 15 mins!!

I then proceeded to play around with their guitar. Pris came after me, and they start to read the discussion passage. Well... tried to anyway, cos at the start, Pris was too distracted by me cos I keep engaging her in a conversation.. hahaha... Tze Yee nearly fall into that also until she realised why Pris couldn't concentrate... :P

Well... I wasn't really that jialat lah.. i hope.. hehe.. Tze Yee invited me to join in reading the passage also, Numbers Chapter 13 and 14. This is the story where the Jews rebelled against God, and did not trust in Him to give them the Promised land. In the end, God punished them by banishing them back to the desert for another 40 years, until all the peopel who had rebelled and not trust the Lord their God had died. Then their children will be the ones to conquer the Promised land! (How lucky Jonah was that God didn't punish him too harshly when he disobeyed, but I believe that its cos God knows Jonah's heart, that Jonah loves God despite his shortcomings)

I then went back to practice my guitar. Wee Leong and Yixi came. They prepared a few songs and selected a few to use. Yixi has such nice handwriting, even better than computer printed ones! Got colour somemore. Me, Irving, Yixi and Wee Leong then started practicing. Yixi has difficulties singing and leading, I guess cos of nervousness (its her first time leading). However, under the expert guidance from Irving, and the encouragement from Wee Leong, she got the hang of it.

While Yizi was struggling with the singing, I have my own struggle also. I have problems playing the guitar!! the strumming is so fast!! me only beginner leh... but I tried to do my best to follow the speed. (All this while, Pris and Tze Yee are earnestly discussing and preparing for the CG Discussion on Friday).

I went into the room to practice the only song where I know enough of the chords to play, while the rest continue to practice. Wee Leong then joined Tze Yee and Pris for discussion after his practice. Yixi and Irving, together with me continue practice in the room. Irving start to teach me and Yixi some method to practice (Yixi can change chords and strum very well leh). Then he left us to practice. I practiced with Yixi and we managed to play the whole song, by backing each other up (At any point, at least one of us will be playing, while the other is trying to find the chord.. haha).

We kinda demo-ed our "result" to the rest. By this time, Merv also came back. All of them watched me and Yixi play while they sing.. Somehow, our playing is worse than when we were alone... haha.

Its late, so we left Ink's house (Pris, Wee Leong, Yixi and me). On our way to the MRT, we suddenly decided to have a drink. So, we went to the nearby coffeeshop. We had an enjoyable, and fruitful chat over the drinks. When it was abt 11:10, we decided that its very late, and so we proceed to the MRT to go home.

Finally finish a book I was reading. Its about all the questions that people ask, a lot of which are questions that I ask at times, but forgot about it. Basically it explains supposed contradictions, abt evidences that proves the Word of God is 100% accurate, abt Catholic beliefs and how it either contradicts the Bible or that the Bible never state. It also explains God's actions, especially abt the Old testaments, the "cruel" God in the Old Testament. Conclusion... very good book... worth reading!!

Oh... the book is called "In Defense of the Faith: Biblical Answers to Challenging Questions" by Dave Hunt. I got this from Tecman in Bras Basah Complex.
