I always admire people who are musically gifted. They can play music instruments and compose songs. Anytime and anywhere they go or travel, they bring their guitar along. Unlike myself, I need to find power plug, and wifi in order to exercise my gift.
I love to imagine myself at the cliff, looking towards an ocean with my guitar. I can write a song and sing it out loud! No need to find power plug and wifi! Because of that, I imitated a CD cover from a famous Malaysian singer, Guang Liang Pin Guan and made it into my own CD cover with my roommate as my partner. That was probably 25 years ago!
One day, I asked God why He has given me a gift in art and not in music.
My art brings me a lot of tears that cost my creativity with painful experiences because that's the way I poured out all my emotions.
Until one day…
I was singing in church with a friend. She was very curious if I was singing or merely reading the lyric. "Huh! can't you hear I am singing from the bottom of my heart?" She told me I sang all the songs out of tune! No wonder, I can sing all kind of songs without any problems because I only sing in one tune!
I was awaken!
And so, I told God, "God, You have given me the best gift. From now on, I want to embrace it without any comparison. Please increase my skills, my understanding, and my knowledge because You know what is the best for me."
But, once awhile I still imagine myself at the cliff, enjoying the sound of sea with a glass of fresh juice, playing a guitar and writing a song… I am greedy for the good imagination in life but now the only things that satisfy my heart and soul is God-given art!
