Ready? OK!

Ok, ready to blog again.

Whoops, many slips and mistakes in the past two months or so.

People ask why I sometimes disappear for unusually long periods of time. Or tell them stuff only when they’re well and truly over and solved.

Uh…. ’cause that’s how I like it. That’s how I deal. Ha.

Aaaanyway, funny story. Being the concertandmusicnerd I am, I woke up at 7am five days before the official release (hence, pre-sale) date for the Maroon 5 concert (just to catch Brandi Carlile in action again of course)… and scored 5th row tickets in front of the stage.

….. and let them go. I stared at the screen for a bit, and let them go. Sure, there were tears involved, but Mum’s right – your heart can only be devoted to one thing at a time.

No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money

Matthew 6:24

 

And in that verse, ‘money’ can be replaced by anything. Boo. I know my idol is music. I stopped being music-obsessed for a certain period, but I know I’ve devoted a good amount of time to finding good music and checking out unsigned artistes in the past month or so. As usual, Mum had to sit me down and tell me it’s really up to me to choose who and what I give my heart to. In short, what you spend your time doing, little by little you give your heart over to.

So, I’m consciously trying to pull back on my gig-going and music- and vinyl-hunting. It’s hard. And it sounds silly. But it’s not. Silly, I mean. But thank goodness I didn’t chuck out my vinyls like Mum suggested. Haha, otherwise Fred(die Mercury) would be very sad, lonely and hungry.

Oh, Fred has a new sister! (GRIN). And she has friends! S, M, and A.

Pause.

Haha, I laugh to myself. And I realise I am quite strange.

Sigh, anyway, glad to be back in Singapore, even if the humidity makes me sticky all day which makes me feel like I have to wash my hands all the time.
