A DAY OF PURE BLESSING AND IN THE MOOD FOR HOLIDAY.

avatar

How are you all doing, my HIVE friends? May your day be filled with joy, and may He constantly glorify you. As I said in my previous blog entry on Sunday, I will be very busy in the next few weeks before the end of the year.

Last Saturday, we received a birthday orders requiring us to prepare four different types of desserts for my daughter's colleagues. My mother and I made 3 desserts last Sunday evening, and the final dish—a mini tuna tart —was made the following morning.

Since only my mother and I put in the effort to prepare this order, I really didn't have a chance to explain how to prepare each of our delicacies.
However, I did take photos of all the desserts that we had already made.

We awoke as early as 4:30 a.m., but everything wasn't prepared to be packed until 6 a.m., at which point we merely had to wait to be picked up. In order to make it to my keyboardist's busking gig that night in Uptown Bataras— who had travelled all the way from Kota Kinabalu — I had to take some more time to rest.

As you all should know, I've only ever performed before in bars, nightclubs, bistro cafes, or hotels, so this was my first time trying to do gigs in a night market. I'm doing something different. Always take all the chances I have been given as possible.

That evening, we arrived around 6:30 p.m. The show won't start for another hour. I wasted little time in going on tour and searching the available vendors for a snacks.

But as usual, I don't eat much before a performance. As a result, I simply bought one set of fish cakes, fish balls, and dumplings.

I spent some time walking around this Bataras Hypermarket to use the restroom, and while I was there, I tried to capture some photos of the Christmas trees and decorations that were place throughout the hypermarket and at each of the entrances and exits.

My keyboardist and I started our performance at precisely 7:30 pm. Our expectation is that it will rain, though. The rain was already expected, according to the gigs organiser.


PSX_20221214_021224.jpg


PSX_20221214_021355.jpg


They had anticipated precisely this. Our performance lasted for about an hour before it started to pour. The visitors that arrived that evening had to scramble to find shelter, and some had to leave.

We took a little break for ten minutes and waited for the rain to stop. The rain finally stopped in a half-hour. But slowly, new visitors came to observe our performance.


PSX_20221214_021304.jpg


Unfortunately, we can only perform till 10 o'clock. Even though many of the stalls have closed, visitors continue to come. We ended our performance at precisely 10 o'clock. And in fact, we received an a lot of tips.


https://youtube.com/shorts/2GngIBEdXBE?feature=share


However, I did plan to withdraw only RM10 from the tip jar and give my keyboardist the remaining money. Because singing is just something I enjoy doing, it's all I do. At the same time, I give more thought to the value of my keyboardist, who travelled a great distance.

Cool! Let me make a full video of me singing before you do that. I have always wanted to post something in the #hivemicopen community, but I couldn't find the right time.

But if I could produce one full video, which band or singer would be of interest to you? Or what song would be your choice, @kerrislravenhill?

Wow, making so many diverse foods, and then going to your performance! You certainly are a buzzy bee! 🐝 Congratulations on performing in a new venue! That's wonderful that you took the risk! The rain may have put a damper on things a bit, but it's great that you did so well regardless! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

I am still buzzing until this Sunday. But I will find time to write on the blog. I am sure I am treating Hive as my journal, and if possible, I don't want to miss a day without writing.

Thanks for the comment, and I will sure have more special stories to tell. Seasonal greetings to you and a happy holiday.

Oh, cool! 😁😁
I occasionally feel anxious if I go a day without writing.

So to make it up, I'll publish two posts a day with a 12-hour gap instead of just one post. That is if I missed a day of blogging.

I definitely understand! Many months ago, since February 1st) I committed to doing at least one post each day, and that's since grown to be at least two per day, and sometimes three. I have posted four in one day, though that is not common, yet! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Nothing can stop the power of nature. But the show must go on. Even rain can't stop the music that we are playing.

It was "Agnes Keith" who named it, so my state, Sabah, was called that since she wrote a book about Sandakan, Sabah. You can find the book here.
