Another challenge is now history

For those of you who have known me a little well than the average others, I am sure you know that music is my passion.  Even though I may not sing or play musical instruments well, but I know enough to keep myself entertained and maybe, for once in a while, lull my heavy heart to relax and let loose.

I play, be it poorly, a little bit of piano and guitar and related musical instruments, and I play them quite often in church, but I rarely do so outside, in the open.  I have this lack of confidence issue, a bit too much that it prevents me from playing the instruments for others.  Well, last month, I decided to fight against my defective nature and face the challenge. I played acoustic guitar for my office mate, Haspa, for a number by Yuna.  A very good song, indeed.

Truth is, I don't think I succeeded in that fight, but at least I tried.  My legs still felt wobbly, and shaking, only thanks to my baju kurung, I guess it didn't show that much.  Hope the audiences didn't notice it.  Congrats to Haspa, despite forgetting a line or two, she delivered the song quite well, and in her own way, which I liked very much.

There is still a lot to learn, years to practice for me to be able to play well, but I hope, in the process, I can at least cheer up somebody, every single passing day, share what little gift God has bestowed upon me, with others.

One thing I learn from this is: Challenges can really help us grow stronger and tougher, overcoming them makes you realize how stronger you are than you think.
