Junction : the place to find God’s will

When you reach a certain age in your life, you’ll always definitely find yourself in a junction of life. A place where you have to make a big decision over what you want your life to be. For example:

1. What course you want to take in University (or rather, for some of you, what your parents want you to take)

2. Which Job to take after you graduated with a Degree.

3. Whether you should marry the guy you are dating now …. or whether you should marry the girl you are dating now =P

Life is filled with choices upon choices. Now, as a Son of God, (aside from everyday life choices that you need to make) how can you make sure that the path that you chose are the one that is designed by Him? It’s definitely a tough question to answer. And I must admit, I don’t have the sure-kill answer as well ^_^

To further point out my example, I hereby laying out my map of life up until now.

In secondary school, I was the Techie guy. Always hangs out with computer and stuff.

Life changes for me when I went on a holiday to Singapore. As I was watching a performance in Esplanade Concert Hall, The stage’s seduction takes it’s first action on me. I was really excited about being on stage! ….  so I aspire to be a classical pianist.

Come NAFA, I studied really hard, practiced really hard to be a classical pianist. When I got my diploma, I realize that being a classical pianist, I won’t be able to touch the Stage that much. Therefore, I started to play in a rock band.

Playing in a rock band, I realize that I was really mesmerized by the magic moment exist in Jazz music. I started to listen to Chick Corea, CASIOPEA, and all those stuff, ending up transcribing Hiromi Uehara’s work and compete in a band competition playing her work. (am really thankful to all my band mates!) I receive the ‘Best Keyboardist Award’ for that year’s competition.

Time was great! ahahaha, ending up pursuing my degree in Jazz piano in Lasalle afterwards. Was really having fun with Jazz and composition. It’s really fun! … ha3 … I was having a lot of chances to perfom, but then I realize that I really felt alive on stage!

Now comes the last stage of it …. Was involved with a band, did the recording, published the album, did the promo tour, but in the end,  I realize that doing that band, even though it was a good gig, doesn’t really fulfill me. I crave for something more. I crave the direct connection with the audience!

Realizing that direct connection leaves me without a choice (and btw, I do love singing =P ) I took up the challenge and train my vocal, and now I’m pursuing a dream to be a singer! …… Global Influenced Singer. ^_^

Now tell me, how on earth am I gonna do that? ha3 …. I have steps in mind, I have plans, I have wishes, and I have dreams and speculations. But when a person asked me, what I’m going to do now, …….. in my mind i was like….  ”errr ….. how the hell i know? lolx …. ” It’s kinda hard because everything in my mind now, it’s all a flexible plans. Nobody will know when or how I will get the big break,  Nobody will surely knows and I myself are not sure. My plans are always flexible. Yes I have a place where I want to go, Yes I have a goals, but the road that I take to achieve that goals, is not as clear cut as most people do.

The only thing that I can do, and I’m doing is …. WORK HARD, PRAY HARD, and TRUST GOD.  I believe that He was the one that planted all the seed for all my dreams and He is Jehovah Jireh my Provider. And I believe that He will bring me from glory to glory, from one step of life to another one and lifting me up in the process.

So now …. I’m at the junction again ….. the formula is something like this.

D = (I/K * WH * (G + 0) * D) / (((CH*4n)+C3)) * T)

^_^ life’s been good!

오늘은 난 진짜 행벅해 … 친구를 많이 힘이 줘요. ^_^ 아, 근대 … 내달에서 한국애 가고 싶어요. ㅋㅋㅋ 예이!
