Featuring our debut on 9 and 10 July 2008, Esplanade Concourse.
Genre: Jazz
Coming up with this band name has been frustrating but rewarding. I really thank God for sisters who care!!
Was frustrated with some stuff, esp when I had to give confirmation to the organizer. Band name not up. Band members list not confirmed... The name 'Foo Jian Mien' was surfaced. Whilst that is one of my favorite local dishes, and it does sound cute, I was hoping for something that I'd like to give God the glory for. Search for hebrew words did not reap any decent sounding band names. I was giving up (there are other things I needed to work on) and was even writing to the organizers, which Foo Jian Mien as the band name.
Hemdi on gmail chat asked me if I could hold the email til pm. (Well, i wanted to get it over and done with to settle other stuff). I relented, half thinking I prolly wldn't come up with anything decent within the next couple of hours. After all, I've tried for days. Then I spoke to Fel online too. She threw in words in random such as light, salt, flavor.... ha ha... and den... i tried to link light and salt (after all, we are the light and salt of the world!!)... and... LIGHTLY SALTED got coined!!
I thank God for sisters like that man! One to stop me from sending out an email that will render me being one of the ingredients for hokkien mee (prolly sotong, since i loooooove that...) and another one who gave me the sparks of ideas.
AND i also thank GOd that (i noe tis is not relevant to the topic) He prompted me to text my student i'm supposed to see tmrw to check if class was on (sch's hving some mid sem tests). The office did not say this class is cancelled. THANK GOD I CHECKED!! it IS cancelled.. imagine waking up EARLY in the morn to travel west only to realize its cancelled, and hving to do the preps for lessons today... less money... but a relief... ha ha...
