"Take me far away...away to your secret place"

I have only one exam left! FINALLY! Exams sure gives me a lot of stress. But well I am very blessed that I have survived 5 exams already! Praise the Lord! Anyways, so I am still studying for my social studies exam. Right now I am listening to Janice Vidal's "In Love Again" the English version of " 我這樣愛你" by Leon Lai (orignal version). This song is very calming and beautiful, a really nice song to study to! I am so tired from all the studying I just wished that it would be like the song--where someone could take me far away to a fanatsy land where you can be carefree and happy!
Anyways, here are the lyrics!
The song is now featured on my blog.

In Love Again Lyrics
When you smile, my life becomes a ray of light
Sing me a lullaby to sleep at midnight
I'll be hypnotized when look into your eyes
Turn off the room light... Let's spend the night

(Chorus)
Take me to far away... Away to your secret place
Take my tears my fears.. Take all my pain
For which I'll repay someday with a kiss and say...
"Cant believe that Í'm in love... in love again

When the stars don't shine and when the birds don't fly
And when the flowers cry and when the rain runs dry
When the violets red and when the rose turn blue
Baby I'll still be in love with you

(Chorus)


Cheers!

Friendship in music

2010 is going by rather fast ( it has already been 6 months-that's basically half a year!). I've jsut finished 4 exams this past week and am preparing for my last two which will take place next Wednesday and Thursday. However, I have been blessed since I was able to spend time with my awesome O.M.4.G (Our Music For God) band members during my most stressful times. Honestly, when I found out that 2 of my great friends/ band members will be leaving soon after the School year has come to an end I felt sad and I know I will miss these two friends very much. However, at the same time I am rather happy for them. I mean, at least I know they are leaving for a good reason--- to journey on and pursue their dreams. These two friends will be leaving to attend the post secondary that will one day help them set their foundation for their ultimate goal. I wish them the best of luck and that God will guide them through their lifetime.

I have grown so much since band started back in September 2009, I have grown spiritually and faithfully stronger,as well my relationships with my fellow band members have increasingly gotten closer. I thank the lord for letting me meet such great friends in my parish who all share the same interest in music and faith! If you haven't noticed already, I did choose a quote (located at the top of this post) to match my reflection. This has officially become my mosf favorite quote! The first time I saw this quote was when I was at a craftstore looking through the stamps section and I found this quote on one of the stamps. This quote is really awesome and it totally matches the feelings I have towards O.M.4.G. As mentioned, I was able to build strong bonds with my friends and well today I recieved a really strong encouragement from a fellow member that has become and inspiration to me. I will try and do as he mentioned, to write and compose my own music. I know I am not a very good pianist/ musician... but I will try, I will try to make my own song that will express my true feelings towards friendship as well as Jesus the beloved saviour!

I have already decided to make my own english cover of the Korean worship song "하나님은 너를 지키시는 자". I don't know if I will succeed but I will try my best! Once again, I thank my friend for giving me such a strong encouragement!

Cheers!

A brief Reflection and Recent Musical Adventures

A brief Reflection:
Once again, due to busy school work and work, I haven't been on here posting about my adventures recently. First off, I feel that this post is more a reflection-- yes so true, graduation. When I hear this word, a ton of memories of the past years of high school constantly replay in my mind. There is no doubt I grew up and matured spiritually, and knowledge wise. I feel very blessed being able to meet the teachers and Friends throughout my high school years. They have taught me how to feel proud of who I am and to not be afraid to reach for a dream that may seem hard to reach. I will continue to work hard until that day of graduation actually arrives. Though I am rather tired and worried about diploma exams coming up, I will try-- try to reach that dream I have been working towards to since grade 10.

Recent Musical Adventures:
2010 has been a really fun and musical year for me so far. Not only am I in my own Church band this year, I have also been inspired by fellow band members to explore around different types of genres and musical pieces. Recently, I browsed through some old music files I had on my computer and stumbled upon the song "Way Back Into Love" the song from the film Music and Lyrics. I must say, (though I have never really saw the movie but only a few clips here and there on YouTube) it has become one of my most favorite english songs to play and sing along on the piano. I got a chance today to play and sing along with my friend Rebecca today and it was quite fun and awesome. To me "Way Back into Love" is a cute and fun song to jam with your friends on a relaxing day. :] I'm just glad that I was able to experience that today. I will continue to practice the song until I perfect my piano playing, notes, and singing skills (though I dont have much talent or skills) until I can sing and play the song off by heart!

Cheers!
