From the Start to the End

Today I sang once more for choir.
And as I looked back to how I first started, I'm amazed at how far I came, and how I kept returning...
It started out due to curiosity. I was wandering around church, and I found this mini group practising singing and joined them and forgot to go home. ^^" My mom found me eventually, and she was sort of surprised to see me in the children's choir. Haha! After that, I spent every time I could spare to go to the choir. Heck, I remembered I even dragged my brothers there. XD It was about the only thing I did without my brothers around me often at that time.
Anyway, by primary 4, I stopped singing, because I wanted to focus on studying... My mom suggested it, and foolish little me obeyed. And I never felt so sad everytime I saw the choir singing on stage.
After that, my secondary school life passed on, drama and all. Throughout secondary school, I was out of Sunday School and was in the youth ministry... And I really wanted to join the back-up singers then... But I was too cowardly to ask... Until J1 that is. Even then, the new leader for the worship ministry was someone I knew, and he knew I wanted to sing, so he kept one spot empty for me. And during that one beautiful year, I sang my heart out. Doesn't help that since I'm a naturally loud person, I keep over-powering the main singer's voice, even though my mike is at about half volume. XD
Of course, not all good things last, so when J2 came, the people in the worship ministry dropped me for fresh blood, saying that I'm too old to sing with them... That would be believeable if they had dropped the others at my age too. So yeah... I got it they didn't want me, and I just left after that I guess... That year, my J2 year, was the worst year of my life... The only highlight of it was that I managed to go to Israel.
So after my A'levels, when my mom dragged us to RiverLife church, the first thing I wanted to join was the choir. I wanted to sing again... And by a miracle, I passed the auditions and got in and here I am today. Haha! Whether I pass the in-training or not is another matter...
Haha! I still have a long way to go...
