Classes was fun, I'm now in the audio lab (together with 20 or so Macs which make me feel at home). Need to do the homework for AA and CC.... I'm getting more and more annoyed with Music Tech... Although the recording part of it is pretty cool.
Composition class was fun, we did things like permutations and stuff (up until a 4 pitch phrase only!). Very mathematical and mechanical, but I can see the direction of the technique and it could be put to use pretty well, IMO.
God help me with my CC homework T_T

Sunday, 30th March 2008
I composed a piece totally based on the chord Dm9. I use combinations (maths! xD) and I end up with a very rhythmically interesting piece of music. However, I do think it is an over 8 minutes of boring crap. Here's the music.
Church today was awesome! I feel really refreshed, finally I heard all the things I needed to hear this week. The message hit the target and I was set free, talk about bible verse being fulfilled ("the truth will set you free.")
Emailed Miss Leong yesterday, wah I miss her! And Teri too!
I took this pic, and she just lied down like that, what a nude pose! I wonder what Miss Leong taught her to do =P
Aimee from CCM came to church today! It was cool to see her in church (she came with Cyrus). Said the church is cool, although it's different, in the way that the music in her old church is of a teen style. Talk about that, I came from the one which is one of the worst (no negative connotation intended here)! Haha, I miss Hillsong.
Cyrus, as expected forgot to book my hostel in Brisbane and GC (I asked him to do it 2 weeks ago, and voila, 2 weeks later I haven't got a place to stay). Grr, had I not ask him, I'll have to stay on the streets of Brisbane T_T
I was practicing with my mirror writing in church today, wrote so much! Then when I wanted to write real writing, I found it a bit hard... I got used to the mirror writing so quickly, and I'm forgetting the normal writing so quickly too. Not good!
Aside from that, nothing else happens that is worth mentioning in this people-forsaken blog.
I want to glide! Next week! Saturday, I'll make sure of that! Hu hahaha....

Hmm...
CCM was great as usual. I was hyper! xD And was fine when I got back home (I normally will drop down to "zero" hyperness, or even negative once I got too hyper...)
Until I remembered about tomorrow.
What should I say?
Sigh
A bit confused, will see what happens tomorrow... And I'll just trust in the Lord.
---
Matt 9:25, "Whether he is a sinner or not, I don't know. One thing I do know, I was blind but now I see!"
Matt 9:35b-38
Jesus said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"
"Who is he, sir?" the man asked. "Tell me so that I may believe in him."
Jesus said, "You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you."
Then the man said, "Lord I believe," and he worshiped him. (I think in some other versions, worship is replaced with fall on his knees."
2 Cor 12:9b, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
I have nothing to complain...
Praise the Lord! =D

Meeting
Meeting, hmm well I guess Cyrus decided to continue football and not go to prayer meeting; which is fine but it would be awesome if he'd decided to come. But then, from the chats I had with him and all, it feels like he wants to have the fellowship, it's just he also loves football. So I had an idea, which is to meet up at another time to just have a fellowship time with believers, talk about serious stuff and pray. The first meeting might be this Friday or next Friday. I'll definitely ask more people to come tonight (we have CCM).
Other than that, music technology has been mean. I don't really like sound editing and stuff, because I just don't have the idea (and the will) to do it. But then we were introduced to mikes on Tuesday and am excited to experiment with it. I got Ben to come to the studio haha, so I'll most like likely do it on Thursday after 4.
Other than that, I've been missing Queenie. Don't know why, but I think separation made me realise that I do still like her. On top of that, the closer I am with God, or at least the more I try to be close with God, the more I feel like I want to be close with Queenie too. I don't know, but I think I haven't been good to her when I was in Sydney... I just hope that she will be able to forget it all.

Hosea 6:1-3
"Come, let us return to the Lord.
He has torn us to pieces
but he will heal us;
he has injured us
but he will bind up our wounds.
After two days he will revive us;
on the third day he will restore us,
that we may live in his presence.
Let us acknowledge the Lord;
let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
he will appear;
he will come to us like the winter rains,
like the spring rains that water the
earth."

Gliding
Went gliding again today, with Piao Piao (wow I was gonna spell Piao Piao as Piano) lol.
Anyway, weather was great at the beginning, I was launched twice. First time only a 6 minute flight because we couldn't find any thermals at all. But the second flight was awesome, went for 34 minutes because we found thermals that pushed us up till over 5,000ft.
Then I did stuff like going up the thermal, turn right and left, which was slightly better than I did last Saturday. Then we did stall as well, and I stalled the plane (on purpose, yay!) and then practicing using the trim. Then we did spin (a type of maneuver but is required to be learnt) amongst many other exercises one can fit in 34 minutes of climbing.
We then did a circuit to land and I approached the runway, unfortunately I forgot that the safe speed was supposed to be 60knots, but I only went 50knots, bad!
Anyway, the rest of the day was just rest and waiting for the rest to go home.
Feeling slightly better, albeit still a bit down. I think I should talk to Helen tomorrow.

Easter Sunday
It was a great morning service and also quite a good afternoon service. I felt like crying and touched. But the most important thing is that God is glorified.
But I have really disturbing thoughts and feelings.
I feel weird. Confused. Bemused.
Like I don't know what on earth I'm here for.
Knowing God, makes me know that I have a purpose, but something makes me feel like I don't know and don't wanna know.
It's like I don't want to do anything.
I also think a lot about my past now and am quite disturbed by it. I know I am redeemed and that God has forgiven me as Jesus was crucified.
But what disgust me is that I don't feel and do the things that I say.
Even though when I sing, I am really touched by the words.
Even though I feel God today in church.
Even though I feel His presence so strongly.
I have this willingness to reject Him. I feel like I want to push Him away. Even writing this makes me feel like crying.
I don't know and I don't want to know.
Whatever. I just need to draw close to God. But what if I also don't wanna do that?
What I want to do now is just to shut down...

Gliding
Went gliding yesterday! Chris, as usual, woke up late and we needed to fetch him. Then Anna + Derek had to wait for a while. Journey to the airfield took like 1.5 hours and after a while we flew.
Flight on the Motor Falke was not promising for me because I didn't like the feeling it gave me. But on the Puchatek (the pure glider) was amazing. The video is on my youtube...
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=4qDYhj0toc4
That's the link, we did a loop, stall turn and a humpty bump (dunno if I spelt it alright). Since I was afraid, I asked her to do just two maneuvers, but because I loved the first two, I asked her for another maneuver... lol.
Alrightey, gotta sleep now, early class at 9:30am tomorrow.

12:34AM
I don't know what title should I give to this blog post, so I'll just put the time I am posting this blog at.
Saturday is coming, gliding is coming too. I'd most likely do the course now, I really love flying and I'm not going to let other people's comments stop me from doing it. So Cyrus is going to stay with me and Alison is going to take us to Paradise Interchange on Saturday morning. I hope Chris can make it.
Argh, I still dunno how should I edit the video for the Power of the Cross... I'll prolly work n that tomorrow, hopefully. Then Vivian and I need to practice for that presentation. I don't think I'll be able to get my keys frm Sydney by Sunday next week, so I'll just play Alison's keys.
Was checking out plane crashes and unsurprisingly, I ended up with Indonesian air crashes (surprise, surprise). It's pretty sad, I mean I get all upset by crashing planes. I also saw a reconstruction of the crash of Flight 547 (was it?) a month after the 9/11. The whole plane just crashed down to the city.
Anyway, I gotta sleep now.

Weird
Weird, I lied down on the bed for a while yesterday and I fell asleep without turning my lights off... And it's 5:30am now, and I'm awake typing this blog.
Basically, I was listening to songs yesterday and I felt a bit melancholic. So I just lied down on the bed thinking of things while I fell asleep. Haha.
Yesterday, we had a prayer meeting. I skipped AUCS for that, and I think I'm quitting that because it clashes with the prayer meeting. I wish I could do both!
So the prayer meeting was pretty cool. Even Cyrus was there, I sorta feel he must be pretty confused but that's good for him lol. Others are there, Helen was there, Alison, Vivian, Joe, Michelle, Miin, Nick and the rest of the Hope Church gang. Oh, and I felt the similar heart beating from God and actually spoke His Words in front of everyone, on the first meeting I had with them. I just felt I wouldn't feel easy if I don't say it, and that's right, as soon as I said it all (despite the nervousness and the choppiness of the delivery) I felt much better and my heart went beating normally after that.
After the prayer meeting, we went to Fasta Pasta to eat. Met Traeng (is that how to spell her name?) there and even bought her a birthday cake and sung happy birthday there. That was fun lol.
Anyway I should sleep...

Internet Doesn't Work
For those who are wondering, "how the heck did he post this blog if his internet doesn't work?" I'm actually at Cyrus' place now, yeah he sneaked me in -_- Coz he's not supposed to bring ppl into the Uni Village, but he did anyway. Except that he didnt tell me that I had to sneak in... grrr, but thank God that the security guard went out just as we arrived at the village! How great is that?
Anyway... Internet didn't work, so I randomly sms-ed people and end up coming to the city. The Festival of Lights is great! Here's some pics.
Anyway, it wont let me add more pics... sigh... well, we are going to Hahndorf (is that how you spell it?) and wildlife park tomorrow, ho ho ho, with Alison and the rest =P
Well to end this post, in the words of Cyrus, "your eyes are the best camera." Go check out the Lights Festivals yourself! =D
P.S. that building is the Elder Hall, my uni xD

May Choral Concert
Massive May
Enjoy the ethereal beauty of Vaughan Williams' celebrated Mass in G minor, the effortless counterpoint in Byrd's Mass for Four Voices, and the sombre and haunting sounds of Howells' Take Him, Earth, for Cherishing (written to honour the memory of John F. Kennedy) and Tallis' Lamentations of Jeremiah.
May 24th
Vaughan Williams Mass in G minor
Howells Take him, Earth, for cherishing
Byrd Mass for four voices
Tallis Lamentations of Jeremiah
Location dunno yet... Haha, but it's going to be a great concert! =D We already started rehearsing Tallis and Vaughan Williams, and I absolutely adore both of those pieces. As for Byrd, it's also reeeally beautiful but I don't know about Howells.
In Uni's computer lab now and I want to crap.

Confusion
Music technology class at 2pm... It was interesting, except for the fact that I don't understand 99% of it! Oh well, I tried -_- Here's my homework.
http://technomato.blogspot.com
I know what a stupid blogname huh?
AUCS today was fun, did Vaughan William's Mass in G minor, it was a delightful piece of music. Then the usual after choir coffee (more appropriately beer/wine, but I don't drink).
Jenni sent me home again (thank God, otherwise I have to take the bus at 9.30pm?!)
I'm off to bed now, too late.
