Recently, we the earth has been it by a tragedy...a huge one...so big and so near by its like tsunami never ended.
Is it now the end of the world? I remembered Melvin told me somewhere in the bible in revelations, people will die...before the end comes...
You know it just hits me...have i done enough today for God, for myself not to regret every second i've spent on this ever fragile ever vulnerable land.
Then today i went and did a gig with my vocalist only. and i've noticed how much more depressed he's been. and what was his depression about? it was about lives blown away...shattered hearts, innocence lost and wasted...
it just makes me cherish life so much more today. I really want to thank God...where singapore is, it is much safer than it really is...even though we are small...but someday we will get hit as well...so back to my first the realization...have i done enough hits me again...
so i decided to contribute to aid myanmar...but then..problem is myanmar is so stubborn to receive help...if u bother to read...u should know as well...they cancelled planes and etc...so today during our gig...we decided to honor them...honor the heroes who have to stand up again because of shattered lives...and there was another realization...we as musician...are in a way influential people...in the past...musicians can make a whole bunch of people react one way...and music always seem to have a very powerful effect on people and more so is the musician who can change the way people think...musician was born to create awareness...thats the power of one musician.
so we decided to speak about the tragedy admist all that partying in the gig hall. and while we played this song written just before the gig honouring the lost lives...the backstage and ourselves we felt that pple were reacting to it and we all felt goosebumps...somehow...and that made me have realization number three...
that is as evangeliser myself, i do have that kinda of power...and more so as a music evangeliser...i can create an awareness and help pple think in a good or a bad wayy...and that also means my actions are evermore impportant wherever i go...
and yes i did lift up a prayer before going on stage and telling God take this gig as yours...i give everything to you. and man didnt He put so much into my head in just 7mins....
sorry for it being such a mess, i didnt want to think too much...just wanted to write down everything that God has blessed me today...
