I can take pride in the fact that although there were just the three of us--Tin, Joel and I singing alto, tenor and soprano a capella, respectively--we sounded the best among the choirs that sang during this evening's worship service of the music ministry. But that's not the whole point of the exercise. Each choir was there to worship God with music to the best of our abilities.
My committee recently met to make recommendations regarding the conduct of field trips as an activity in some courses. I submitted a letter explaining our stand to the dean this morning then--guessing that she was most likely expecting completely different results--ran like h*** away from that place. Sure enough, within ten minutes I got a call from our college secretary on behalf of the dean; and boy, is she not happy with our decision!
It was all Joel's fault I must say. He asked me last Monday before our ministry meeting if I've heard Michael Buble's Everything. When I said I had not, he sang a few bars then let me listen to part of an mp3 recording he had on his mobile phone. I asked for a copy on Tuesday and after listening to it in its entirety, immediately fell in love with the song. I continued to listen to it repeatedly well into lunchtime today, when Joel showed up at my office to ask me out to lunch. He pointed out that he was listening to Everything on his mobile phone. I immediately picked up my phone and pressed the middle button to show him that I was also listening to it. We had a good laugh over that.
