Q & A
1. If you could
trade responsibilities with someone for a day, who would that person be,
what would the job be and why would you choose to do it?
Anything requiring physical work (breaking stones, cutting wood, road
repair etc.,) the kind of work I do is pretty sedentary
... So, I'd definitely like a little change of scene ... maybe te
outdoors, some fresh air and a boombox ... But then, I'd
really like swap roles wirh Marshall Mathers (Eminem) and maybe work on
some tunes for his new album ...? What do you say?
How do you like the idea? ;)
2. When was the
first moment you realized you wanted to pursue Music for a living?
Since my days in MCC, I always wanted to play in a band, write music,
record stuff and do shows. I'm glad I'm able to do that
to an extent. Any takers to support a full-time ministry band? That
would be a lot of fun. We really need something like that
... so, do pray about it and maybe something will happen!!! :)
3. Describe your
most unforgettable romantic date.
Well ... in school and college, there were a few girls who were really
good friends and ... I've had my share of crushes (and
heartbreaks...!) ;) ... but seriously, the most memorable dates have to
be the ones where Beth and I would sneak out for some
ice-cream to the Lop Stop or just go for a ride.
4. What are you
obsessive-compulsive about?
Peanut candy and dinky cars.
5. What
characteristics of God has surprised you the most these days?
His Grace (getting what I don't deserve) and Mercy (not getting what I
deserve). That beats me.
It's sunny daddy !!!
Like father like son (Micah) !!!
