23 and counting

Happy Birthday to Charis. Yes. 23 now.

I had a few little surprises that day. My student's mom found out through the school administrator that is was my big day [not wedding! but just b'day], and popped by after her lesson to give me a plate of cheese puffs and a bottle of champagne. GORGEOUS woman!

My other student gave me a little butterfly today in blue and silver. She was incredibly sweet.

One student danced to Sk8ter Boi for me. haha...that was really good for a 9 year old. Her own choreography too.

I got the extra job was applying to today too. Wow...full time hours next term most likely.

Peggy gave me a purple tulip. It is very interesting. I've had white and pink tulips, but never purple.

Mommy and Papa msged and called. My sisters sang happy birthday.

I'm 23. It sounds very mature. I'm not afraid of age. But I'm afraid of the speed of the years. wasn't I just 18 and a newbie in uni? It's all gone now. Wasn't I the young baby in lifegroup?It's all changed now.

But by the grace of God, I am who I am today. I've learnt a mountainfull of stuff these 5 years.
I've learned to love God more, I've learned to love people more. With these 2 on the way, I think I will be in a good path.....

Thank you to all who came to eat with me, for those who showered me with love.

Most of all, God, Thank YOU.

Fear and Faith

I wish I could get rid of this feeling of underlying fear that grips me once in a while. After every high there is an inevitable crash. Or when I wake up, it's really hard to face the day not quite knowing what you should do or what the goal is in the end.  I can picture this trembling kid in my mind, who's quite desperate to cling on to something for safety and comfort. And that kid is me. But the kid's alone. And there's no one to actually to hang on to, and nothing to hug, not even a pillow. But the kid is also wary of clinging on to anything because that might prove disastrous, as it has in the past. You get entangled with unnecessary things or people So,  Kid is stuck with just holding nothing. Waiting.  I mean, it's not like God never warned or foretold that this journey would be lonely, I'd be seemingly alone, but He would be with me. I would look like I was wobbly but He would uphold me. The only time the fear really alleviates is when God's pres...

陶喆 David Tao Mash Up 2 - 流沙/普通朋友 （by Charis蔡佳靈 + Nray 胡恩瑞 + 森林ㄌㄜˋ園）

高中會重覆聽100遍的歌就是‘普通朋友' 和 ‘流沙‘ ☺️ 很開心可以和  森林ㄌㄜˋ園 團長阿綠把這兩首百聽不厭的歌串在一起，重編成band sound的歌；然後和  N-Ray 胡恩瑞  &樂手朋友們呈現出來。謝謝有才的朋友們的參與！也再次謝謝負責攝影間接 Rick Lin 。希望你們會喜歡～歡迎分享、留言、訂閱、按 💗  ！也可以跟我們說你們要接下來聽的歌 （那些點‘沙灘’的朋友我已看見你們的留言！) I remember re-playing 'Regular Friends' and 'Everything's gone' so many times on the way to school. They were such classic hits! Here's the 2nd David Tao mashup video we produced. My gifted singer/songwriter/keyboardist friend Green Lee sat down with me to re-arrange it together (guess which other song we used as a base for the two tracks 😁 ?). Had lots of fun recording and shooting this with my talented pals! Please help us share around, and do subscribe if you haven't yet!
