New Word For Today: Pentatonic Scale

I just learned a new word today... Pentatonic Scale
From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentatonic_scale

A pentatonic scale is a musical scale with five pitches per octave in contrast to an heptatonic (seven note) scale such as the major scale...

Now from one word, I got to learn heptatonic as well

Hmmm, I still don't understand, someone please 'F1' me

Praise God

Just a small sharing.

I hurt my right hand ring finger during the gotong royong. Just a small cut, but it hurts when it touches water or by putting pressure on it.

I want to praise God that the pointer and middle finger did not get hurt during the cleanup, cause I was to play the bass guitar on Sunday (yesterday) and these 2 fingers are the main fingers in playing the bass .

Thank you Jesus.

So does anyone have any feedback on yesterdays worship service?

Euro 2008 Final Results

Most of you would have already know the result of the Euro 2008 finals between Germany and Spain.

I found out the result from the security guard when I left my home this morning, even before I heard the news on the radio. He said German kalah, 1-0.

Well the favorites lost and I lost sleep too from the mamak shop which screened the final live. Jolted awake by the cheers of the crowd.

Congratulations to Spain.

Gotong Royong in Subang: Hosanna

After the cleanup, we passed by this restaurant.. 'Restoran Hossana'.
Praise God we helped the best we could during the gotong royong, and survived. Aiiii, Emily walked by just as I pressed the button.
"Hosanna" (Greek transcription: ὡσαννα, hōsanna) is the cry of praise or adoration shouted in recognition of the Messiahship of Jesus on his entry into Jerusalem, Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord![6] It is used in the same way in Christian praise.
