Big Breakfast after so long. It's not as good as it used to be. :(
Come to think of it. Nothing much happened recently. Highlight of past few days would be attending to very contrasting concerts. Though both Christian at the very core. But how it was organized was distinctly different.
Jaeson Ma's Music Evangelism, that's what they call it, was held on the 18th and 19th. Had cell group on the 19th so opted to go on the 18th. To my 'horror', there was a ticket charge of RM20. Made a 'big' fuss over it on their Facebook page. I even had an honorary mention during the pastor's offering challenge. Clarify again, nothing against Jaeson Ma, but from a musician's point of view, RM20 for some guy 'rapping' 3 songs, you've got to think twice. To be honest, from a Christian's view, it might be worth it, but again, who are we selling the tickets to?
Now there was another concert happening on the other side of town. Aubrey Suwito got together the top musicians in Malaysia to hold a Christmas concert on the 19th and 20th. I heard it was for charity and they want to record it live so they can sell DVD's during Christmas. Even if you're not a musician you're bound to know who's Jaclyn Victor. Well, if you didn't, you'd still enjoy the concert. The who's who in the music scene was all there. And those we celebrity artist because they're that good, not because they look good. :) I arrived late due to work, reached there around 9.15pm. 15 minutes late. To my surprise, there was no parking left. The closest spot was more than 5 minutes walk away! The hall was full. We sat at the foyer. The music still sounded so good from the television's speakers. Did I mention it was free? And did I mention they actually played more than 10 songs? All rearranged. Very good stuff. Should get a hold of that DVD when it comes out.
Oh, and did I mention that I was late to PGRM on Wednesday night. Also because of work. From Bangsar to Cheras takes time during rush hour. It was pasar malam night too. The longest in town. Ok. Show was supposed to start at 8pm. I heard that they started late. We arrived 8.45pm. Sat at the back. Behind us was one-third of the seat. Empty.
Maybe we're Malaysians. Maybe we're Chinese. But there's a reason why free stuff still has the appeal. Unless you're good. And rappin' ain't our culture yet.
Oh, my dad seldom forwards mail. So when he does, you'll bet it's important. Title of it. Soursop: Cancer Busting Properties 10,000 Times Stronger Than Chemo!
Off to church soon! Excited! We got Eitan a bike. :)
