 A Video with a great song " You're still God"....

Ever feel down and out at times?

Lift up your head and look at the Super tree!

Remember Rev 22...There is a tree of life planted on each side of the river, producing 12 kinds of fruit, a ripe fruit each momth.  The leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

Never again will anything be cursed.

The throne of God and the Lamb is at the Centre.

His servants will offer God service - worhsipping....

And they will rule with Him age after age after age...

HOPE.

20210401 - Arrival of New Yamaha Keyboard! Why?

 

29/3/21! Oh Yeah! The Arrival of my New Yamaha P125!
(After a long waitlist of more than 2 months...thanks to Covid Discuption of Supplies!)

BUT WHY THIS NEW KEYBOARD??

I have always admired our Creator God.
He made the universal love language - music in just 7 little notes!
With different tempo, arrangement and beats - this love language gels or unifies the cross culture world of Beings.
The Africans rock.  The Indians shake. The Middle Easterns bellies. And what have not the rest of the beautiful tribal groups on earth.

But music is lost when one of the keys - yes just one note key is MISSING!

It just sounded weird if one note is gone.

Yes, that was what happened to my old keyboard.

One day, the G note just become dumb. It got muted! And then I had to bid it GOODBYE.

A Chord needs 3 notes.  TWO just won't make it.
Some melody needs the G note.  So the melody was not complete.

So yes, it reminded me of the parable of the LOST sheep.  Just one - yes the Chief Shepherd has to leave the 99 sheep in order to find the one which is LOST!

A NEW ONE - given to me as a Birthday present by beloved John

Yeah!!!!!
So now I begin my music making! Tang! Tang! Tang!

What I like most is that it comes with a headphone!
Now I can even practice at NIGHT!!!! YES! Without disturbing any souls with my tang tang tang! (DAY TOO! LOL ....still a lousy player!)

So here is the new keyboard with the song "OH I WANT TO KNOW YOU MORE"....


VS the Cheaper instrument - the GUITAR!

Do you know that the piano is actually also a string instrument?
Just that today modern technology had 'Shrunk' the strings to E type!
So now this piano is SLEEK & SLIM! No more Baby Grand!


TIME TO WORSHIP!!!!

THE King of Kings!

AMEN!

 29/3/2021 : Entering Gallop Valley Via Woollerton gate


Got a New White Hito Foldable 22" bike YESTERDAY.

29/3/21: 
7:30am New White Hito went for his maiden ride!

Arrived at Woollerton Gate in just minutes!

Hey, it is trumpet flowers in bloom all over little red dot now! yeah!

So on this second visit , I decided to capture all the various flowers in Gallop Valley area and the surroundings in the new Gallop Extension (opened early this month) 




That COMO adventure area brought back fond memories of our kampong game - Saga seeds! Remember playing with these little red seeds?




Er...This is not DURIAN ok?  It is Chempedak!

The walk via Woollerton into this Gallop Extension is winding but short to the B&W colonial houses.

The good part about this side of the entry point is that you get to gawk at the beautiful Good Class Bungalows along Gallop road!

Ok. Let's have some PERSPECTIVE!
  • No $ at all?- Government rental flats of 450sq ft available for rent at about $110 pm twin sharing.
  • Got some $ and old and single? - 500+sq ft Granny flats -S$160k above...
  • HDB flats - 900sq ft ranging from $350K to S$1mio now depending on location
  • And now...."Mr& Mrs Heido Lo" recently bought this GCB at Gallop Road for a whopping S$42mio!  Yes.  21,639 Sq ft! (S$1940 psf) only recently in Jan 2021!!

So, no $ to buy landed properties?  Just come and GAWK ....Here at Gallop Road...A feast for the eyes! Really! Really!

Oh we rode past RUMAH Malaysia, Gallop Road this morning! Extensive place! It is the Malaysian Association in Spore! Woseh!

Guess not bad for a morning quick exercise of bike and walk!
Complete with a Killiney Breaky at Serene Centre. 
If you are a Mac fan - McDonalds!

And if you are more "upmarket" - go for the mexican cafe...or just walked over to Cluny Court for a more "upperty" spreads...

Well, if 'not much spare cash" - BYO! Hot water and 3-in-1 KOPI and roti...sit in the Gardens! Spread your plastic picnic cover!   Muahaha!

Enjoy the moments of time! Yah!

20210323- Enjoying a Walk at the Gallop Extension : Atbara and InVerturret Houses


 23/3/2021 : ATBARA HOUSE
@ 5 Gallop Road
Built 1898


“For you shall go out with joy, And be led out with peace; The mountains and the hills Shall break forth into singing before you, And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands
Is 55:12




INVERTURRET HOUSE @ 7 Gallop Road




On 23/3/21 :
8:35am : Cycled from Home
8:50am : Arrived via Tyrsall Road to the newly opened Gallop Extension
10:50am : Home sweet home! (covering only the walk to the 2 houses and the internal exhibits) - No time to explore the COMO Adventure park for kids and the Gallop Valley Trail or the OCBC Arnoretum!)

Think they forgot to factor in the bike parking spaces! Pathetic 8 lots only for bike parking!

The walk to the 2 B&W colonial houses was pleasant.
Experiencing the 8 -Ha undulating terrain and enjoying the views of the "British colonial landscape" even though this is little RED DOT!

Gosh , the oldest B&W built more than 123 years in 1898!

Atbara House        - now A forest Discovery Centre
Inverturret House   - Now a Botanical At Gallery

I love Black and White Colonial Huses!!!!!

So beautiful to behold!

What a sight of the vast undulating land!

Enjoy this video!
