We Did It!

We finally did it!!!
Achieved what we started out to do!!!!
Organized a mini show,
and to get as much donations as we can!

Have to thanks Sha for backing the initial idea, and to go through the whole thing with me,
Tham who asked loads of questions about the whole event, and of coz, performed!
Yi, Ni, Teddy, LiSha, Zhen Pei, Yee Wen, Char, Disney, Tim, the Youths who agreed to perform,
My parents especially, for being so Supportive,
Sis who gave me so much encouragement,
Joy and A. Cindy who baked and made fantastic cupcakes, cookies and pudding!
Church members for giving so many positive response,
My friends and family who attended the event,
Henry and Joanne who took loads of pics for us,
Everyone who helped in any kind of way,
Pusat Jagaan Orang Kurang Upaya Si Putih's supervisor, Mrs Rajes who provided so much info,
Each and everyone who donated to the funds!! You...you...you...you...you!!!
And not forgetting,
our Mighty LORD, who was, is and always be there for us, to make things right.
Lord, thank you for making this happen to me...

This whole thing started out with a small dream,
a dream almost impossible to happen....
A dream to raise funds solely by asking people to watch performances.
The dream was shared, agreed,
Shared to more, more responses...
Positive and negative, we went on,
looking for performers,
not easy, but its a really fun process...
Date, time and venue was set, It's really happening!!!!
Practicing for the performances,
the best thing that happened throughout the whole event...
Spreading the word out,
not easy as well, not many supports art and charity at the same time...

The whole event began like a dream,
really can't believe it is really happening...
Not many turned up, but the initial target was there...
Seeing people putting money inside the blue donation box,
it felt real good.... At least we've got some money inside!!!
We were the 1st performance, did everything we rehearsed tons of times...
The crowd seemed to enjoy it.
Performance after performance,
everyone was really quiet,
but they seemed to be concentrating very hard on the performances.
At least its better than making noise, right?
Intermission, everyone happily bought the food we prepared,
sat down and chatted delightfully...
I have nothing to worry about now....
Some mic probs for the next performance,
but Disney sang beautifully....
We're the next in line again!
And we went up and had loads of fun....
You guys rock ya! EXPH!!!! XD
Tim on his bass tone,
Intro of the centre,
And lastly, our gal band!!!!
More mic probs again, but it felt real good!!!
So this is how it is like being in a band! Haha...
Hymns (More to work on)
and lastly duet.
My Chains are Gone is so powerful, something flickered as we sang...
Counted the donations... WHOA!
1 K+!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY
MORE than we expected!
Hope that I'm not dreaming..... Ouch! I'm not!!! LOL!

Though not everything went on smoothly,
Though we can't call it a perfect/successful event,
we collected funds which can help improve lives...
I enjoyed the whole process...
Waking up early in the morning...
Practicing whole day long...
Come back at night,
Jamming....
Talking to friends,
asking for opinions,
Making new friends,
promoting the event,
and even... DREAMING about the event...
I'm Lovin' it!!!! Haha....
Got to do everything I longed to do, there's nothing more that I can say....


And we went to pay a visit to the home.
Another dream come true...
Went shopping for groceries with a list in hand with Sha and Disney.
Spent the whole 2 hours grabbing things,
choosing and picking like what old man and aunties does...
calculating every penny....
Take this.... Grab that.... Which one should we buy???
Really have to salute all the aunties who goes shopping for groceries...

*TABIK!*

Finally got to know that its not easy to be an aunty... or at least try to be one.... XD
2 trolleys full... For the 1st time in my whole tinny whinny life,
I actually bought THIS MUCH AMOUNT OF GROCERIES!!!!
And EVERYTHING IS SO FREAKING DAMN EXPENSIVE!!!!!
Once again... *TABIK AUNTIES!*

We finally reached the small little corner house after getting lost in the middle of nowhere...
Mrs Rajes is really a nice women with a really big heart.
Can't believe I actually got to see her in person!!
There were various kinds of kids there
Down Syndrome, Autism, cerebral palsy, mental problems, Learning Disorders...
Mrs Rajes sat there and talked about each and everyone of the children she has....
We went snooping around the house, touching this, touching that...
And she continued explaining everything that we see....
Most of the children have the inability to speak except for one of two...
Some are able to help in chores,
some juz sits there.... smiling the whole time, not talking or doing anything else...
They are all really cute and beautiful children...
Perfect in God's eyes.....
Everyone is born with their own uniqueness....
You and I the same....

Glad that we got to visit the centre and to know more about the children.
Lets just hope that the children will live better with a lil' help from all of us.
Shall return someday to have another visit sometime....
I'm CONTENTED and HAPPY!!! =)

Stand Out Mini Charity Concert

Hey guys, juz wanna share about a little event I'm doing now...
I have this desire to do something which combines the two things I love,
Music and aiding...
And I am about to make it happen...

This event is called Stand Out! Mini Charity Concert
Which means that we want people to stand out and give to others,
Stand Out to make a change in the lives of others...
To stand out for those who needs a hand,
for people to stand out and make an effort to aid the souls out there who are less fortunate,
to allow people to stand out it showing their talents,
and also to stand out in making a change in our own lives by sharing a portion of them with others.

I don't have ambitious target, juz a small amount from everyone will do.
Coz in my mind, a little strength from everyone can really move mountains,
Little small effort from everyone can change the world....
All I want it for people to chirp in small amounts cheerfully....
To know that every cent they are giving will help a person have another hope in life...

A few performance will be lined out for everyone to watch,
though they might not be the best ever performance you will see,
but at least you can see their efforts....
A sign of appreciation for your cheerfulness...
They are also need your support to give them courage to get on stage again...

We just want to help people,
and hopefully you do too.

Do join us on the 27th Aug, this Sat, 4.30pm-6.00pm, at Seremban Church of Christ.
I want to make it straight here that it is not a church event, and am not trying to change your religion, it is only the church premise we are using to make the small desire of mine happen.
Its something personal, so don't hesitate to come.

Hope to see you there. =)


p/s: A little boy broke his piggy bank just to give every penny he had to help others even before the day of the event. I am so touched by his big heart and also the innocence he had with him. Thank you so much, Tim, you gave me the strength to move on. Also to the Lord who created someone as kind as him, You are the Sole, Mighty and Powerful... THANK YOU!!!



Amazing Grace by anyone who sings it with his/her heart

Tuesdays with Morrie

I would really like to have a professor like Morrie.
Someone you can really talk to,
who listens and gives you the answers that you had been searching all your life...
Seriously, can a person be as wise and as optimistic as him?
He's truly someone who is well-liked,
strong, keen, cheerful, hilarious, knowledgeable...
His words are wise...

" We must love one another, or die..." (Yeah, its quoted)
" When you learn how to die, you learn how to live..."
" Love always wins..."
" Tuesdays, we are Tuesday people..."

He lived his life doing what he loves best,
Teaching, dancing and eating...
And when he knows that he's dying...
he had to give up the latter two...
but continued the only thing he can possibly do...
Teaching.
Everyone needs someone like him...
The words uttered from his mouth,
its like gold we should treasure and apply in our lives.
Like scriptures,
but his words comes from his personal experience. (And more of a personal thought)
The lesson of life..
How much about it each and everyone of us know?
What do you want to do if you are given 24 hours of a perfect day??

Tuesdays with Morrie,
a marvelous show which talks about the basics of life...
Inspiring, heartwarming and funny...
Watch and learn...

Morrie mentioned something about listening to the bird on your shoulders...

Is there really a bird?

p/s: Janine in the movie sang a beautiful song....

It's juz too nice to let go

It's almost 4a.m. and I have no intentions of going to bed any sooner...
Juz sitting here plainly, watching videos of people singing...
If everyone can sing like 洪佩瑜, I would rather not sleep,
despite being up the whole day,
the dreadful mourns of both my eyes,
the deafening cries of every muscles of my body...

Music lifts the soul...
People with great voice should be praised,
and there are countless of them all over the world...
If only I would get the time and chance the hear each of them out...
Filling my heart and mind with every harmonious pitch they make...

Music heals the soul...
That's all I can say...
