solace.
i attempted to start on my EE today, with little results.
was supposed to meet up with oli, but rained heavily the whole day, and i ended up out of the house, also because i realized i had to obtain more material for EE. so off i went, a little down and out since i made almost no progress on EE. i went singing in the rain. not really, i actually had an umbrella. passed aug his books, and since i was in the vicinity, dropped by bras basah to look at guitars. basses to be precise. really wanted to get one that i had an eye on, an ibanez SR590 going at around $500. but leider nicht, no moolah. just looking at the instruments gave a surreal sense of satisfaction. maybe i'll save up so that i can get one at the end of next year. maybe that'll do. yes.
oh and i helped a mum hold on to a little boy's hand on the escalator as she pushed her pram with a younger kid up. the little boy kept poking the escalator glass haha.
i went on trudging in the watery grounds of town, all the way to the esplanade, through the driest route possible. there i gave directions to this couple with a baby to the esplanade entrance where the bus stop was. they were at the box office. at the library, walked around, got the books i needed, zapped some relevant stuff from reference books, and placed a reservation for some really old publishing at the repository used book collection at the service counter. after that it was off to national library, backtracking, to meet cheryl. when i walked out the frustration of EE subsided, maybe because of the fact that i found materials. but somehow i still think i felt better because of my contact with music throughout the outing, from swee lee looking at basses till esplanade library, and when i walked past maestro the guitar shop at the esplanade mall, and frank brothers. i used to look in to check if they stocked up on their cellos and cello cases. hahaha. ooh there's also a sweet silver bam! case that costs 2.35k. i like.
the rain kept up its relentless pitter patter. thank God i have an umbrella. reached the national library, felt the cold air conditioning surge through me, reached the borrowing library. cheryl was looking at german books, and i found this teach yourself book, instant german, and was absorbed for an hour going through the first lesson. haha. its very interesting. not very different from english, but variations here and there, sentence structure a little weird sometimes, but, i ended up borrowing the book. we met auggie for dinner at the food court at bugis after his class. had a good time just chatting. and eating, of course. if you two are reading this, thanks for the company.
well, guess i should be turning in soon. cannot waste anymore time. irony strikes again. here i am blogging my time away while there are a 101 more productive things i can do. BUT. i like reflecting on the day. ha. tomorrow will be a productive day. i shall try to finish the color purple before i sleep. its a sad book. the characters, i mean. oh well. still in the middle of huck finn.
i should learn to spend time with more wisdom. heh.
finesse
And she was upstage, dancing to the flowing music, her posture illuminated by the makeshift fluorescent lighting. Her make-up shone lightly, enhancing her facial features, particularly those gentle eyes. Her unrivalled beauty paralleled her talent. Each step boasted of her elegance and her inherent ability to make every move with delicate grace. She was exceptional among her peers, her talent clearly presented to the audience. She became the dance, was one with it, executed the actions with skill and finesse, displayed professionalism and perfection of the highest degree. The mastery of her craft was an accomplishment indeed. She sought neither fame nor attention, but to give the glory to God in her art, never failing to amaze.
a beautiful song has been in my head for a while now.
At the cross I bow my knee
Where Your blood was shed for me
There's no greater love than this
You have overcome the grave
Your glory fills the highest place
What can separate me now
You tore the veil
You made a way
When You said that it is done
Amen.
unconditional, everlasting love. that is God's love.
