This experiences contributes to something... Something great is going to happen...

Has been staying back in school for so many weeks, just to practice the two songs for performance. Me, playing tuba in my school symphonic band, don't really know what I'm into, just want to have fun, excited about going on stage for the first time.

The moment had come, I'm waiting nervously at the back stage of Victoria Concert Hall. My hand grow cold, shaking, never know how it is like doing it for the first time...

For that few years, I have a numbers of performances with my school symphonic band, for national day, school speech day, school concerts... That was a really good experience for me. Those experience contributes to something, which I had no idea what is that at that time.

Then, I start to pick up drums in church. Actually want to learn than in my school symphonic band but was not selected. I remember a class was conducted for those who wanted to learn.

My first time sitting on the drum was not strange to me, I feel very comfortable in the senses that it seems like so familiar to me. May be because I always see drums in my school symphonic band, seeing my good friend play.

Well, I think I'm a fast learner, just took me one week to get that 4/4 beat in my heart, playing that smoothly and able to row at the same time. The lesson last for one month, nothing was up after that, I was not satisfy because the things that I learn are not fully practice, put to use. So, really want to play for someone or some band desperately, with only the basic 2/4 and 4/4 beat skills, I approach the kids ministry in my church.

They got a performance coming up for new year celebration, it's really a good chance for me to use my drum skills that I learn, fully. I practice hard for it, even use keyboard set to drum mode and practice everyday at home. Met up with the guitarist and keyboardist in kids ministry everyweek to practice.

The second moment of my life had come, playing drums for a performance in church, was nervous too, but not as nervous as the first time in Victoria Concert Hall, may be those experience in symphonic band helped in someways.

I'T WAS VERY BAD
The first time playing drums for a church performance was very, very bad, I keep going out of time, can't keep it properly, can't really heard what the others are singing and playing. Did not know that the drum was so loud it covered the whole band. I felt ashamed.

Then, one year later, I approached a worship leader, wanting to play for our church youth camp. I want more, just want to gain more experience in playing drums. He is fine it and I'm happy that I'm in.

Third moment in my life, playing drums for a worship service, last for about 45 minutes, and that 45 minutes was the most stress and nervous time in my whole life. Was not really good also, did not really play the song very well, but I did not give up, I promise myself that I must volunteer myself to play drums for youth camp every year. Those experience was good, it contribute to something which I do not know what was that at that time. This carry on for a few years.

Then, I'm thinking of forming a band, I brought this up to the kid's ministry, suggest to have a official band in kid's ministry. I got the people, people to play and guide us, the band was push forward, things work out well, lives changed, it grows through out the years. Those experience was really good I learn to play properly as a band, and it also contribute to something, which I don't know what is it.

After playing for sometime in the kid's ministry band, I decided to move on to something more, I need to learn more, to gain more experience in playing drums. I decided to join the youth band in our church hope to get something out of it. I was called to be in this band to play for the youth camp, which was a testing ground for us to join the youth band. We did well for that camp, at least we all make it into the youth band in our church. Been playing in this youth band for sometime, still remember I was ask to sit and listen to them before I can actually sat on the drum and play. Those experience really benefits me, getting me ready for something I don't know.

Yesterday, the fourth moment of my life, a tug-of-war between pride and Christ. Playing before eight hundred plus people, if my attitude is not right, things will not be right on stage. I was not nervous at all when I'm on stage
as compare to those time in my school symphonic band or first time on drums before my own church. Those experiences really comes in handy at that moment. I realize those experiences was made for that moment yesterday, sitting up there showing how God works through me with my hands, thanking Him for this talent of drumming.

Finished, it was great, better than any playing in my life.

I came down, telling myself this thing...

I'M IN FOR GREATER THINGS TO HAPPEN IN MY LIFE WITH THIS SMALL TALENT I HAVE.

Lives are going to be change as I use this hands I have on the drums.
THIS WORLD I'M GONA SHAKE WITH THOSE BEATS OF MY DRUMS.

JUST FOR HIM ALONE...
