About this blog

The name of this blog is small alley. As in an alley, I hope to post a variety of things that I find interesting and as you walk through the alley, you would find things that you like.

I have posted some songs that I wrote. I am not a great singer. I sing and play the guitar purely for fun and I hope people who thinks they can't sing can be inspired by me. No former singing lessons and no former guitar training. Just pure fun......

The recording is also done at home with a drum machine and one guitar through a small amp. The sound file has been touched up slightly by removing the noise. Otherwise the songs are as original as it gets.

I practise Taiji regularly. For me, it is a great exercise requiring control of mind and body to perform well and for it to be enjoyable. You can get more videos of Taiji from YouTube.

Other posts include places and events that I think are interesting and more important, which I have time to upload.

Enjoy your walk through this small alley.....

I am a Vincentian




I am a Vincentian



When there is trouble in the world
When life's dark shadow unfurls
Know that I will be there
To show that God always care

Chorus 1

I am a Vincentian
Bringing Christ to the world
I am a Vincentian
A light to the world



In place where charity is needed
When life seems to lack kindness
I will be there in your midst
To show in God there is peace


Chorus 2

I am a Vincentian
Living out my vocation
I am a Vincentian
Bringing Christ to the poor


When there is hungry mouth to feed
When you need some joy and peace
That is where I can be found
To show that God is still around



Chorus 3

I am a Vincentian
My life live out in love
I am a Vincentian
In charity showing God's love


Instrumental

Chorus 3
 

I am posting my second song.  It is inspired by me being with the Society of St Vincent de Paul for 25 years.  You can do a search on the Internet to find out what the society does.  But it brief, we are the social arm of the Catholic church helping the less fortunate.  Through the helping process, I hope we can give hope and not just material help.

The song sounds catchy to me and is rather upbeat.  You see, we must be happy helping.
