Music

A writer once wrote that music is powerful. It has the power to bring you from "now" to "then". It has the power to touch your heart thus we have to be careful to listen to proper music. I agree totally. A huge thanks to my best friend who got me a MP3, I was able to listen to music on my way home or to anywhere. Somehow, music works wonders for me - especially Christian music (Which basically dominates most of my disk space. Heehee..). Whenever I am down or discouraged or tired or "sian", music will never fail to brighten my day. Just a few days back, I found out where I got the love of music from - Dad.

My friend, Chris, bought my dad a Carpenter's Ultimate Collection CD and I thought that since I am converting those songs into my MP3 player, I might as well convert those CDs that my dad owns like Nat King Cole, Andrew Lloyd Webber, etc into my player too. A few days back, I let my dad hear the Carpenter's CD. He started to talk about the past and we chatted. Told him that I remember when we (sis and me) were young, we will usually put on headphones when dad turn on the record then we will start dancing around. My dad was shocked that I remembered and asked me if I still remember he brought me swimming when I was a baby. We started chatting about how my dad "wooed" my mum. The top she wore on their first date. Interesting chat indeed! The chat ended up with me assuring dad to have faith and confident that he will be better. He in turn assured me that he is strong and he will not give up.

These days, he will request for songs like "Memory" or Nat King Cole. He seemed more joyful and confident too. I guess by having the presence of mum, sis and me there did help him quite a bit too. Hmm.. Also my best friend seemed to have quite an influence on him. Ask him how many daughters he has, he will say "3". My best friend being the 3rd one.

Anyway, amazing things that photos can do for us. Of course, seriously, I cannot remember alot of things that happened to me at what age? 10 months old!! Now.. those who know me well enough, will know why I love sea sports now!! I started REAL young!! Hahahaa... Carol look real cute yeah?

Yesterday I went grocery shopping with Carol and Jan. Driving back, Carol slouched happily in her passenger's seat and said "Yay! I got photos to blog!". In reply, I said "Yay!!!! I got things to "steal"!! Hahhaa.. So.. here are the photos that Carol did up - yet again the "thief" is out!
