Quotes
Love is a minefield. You take a step and get blown to pieces, put yourself back together again and stupidly take another step. I guess that's human nature. It hurts so much to be alone that we'd all rather blow up than be single.

We have no say over the hand dealt us in life, but we do have a lot of control over how this hand is played. We are responsible for bringing out the meaning of our own lives in each moment that we live. Remember each moment happens only once and can never be retrieved again.

A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.

He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.

I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.

It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.

All this will not be finished in the first 100 days. Nor will it be finished in the first 1,000 days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.

Friendship

The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.
It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.

If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me

The best kind of friend is the one you could sit on a porch with, never saying a word, and walk away feeling like that was the best conversation you've had.

A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.

TEENS Sunday!


Still not gonna write about the two awesome days I had, because I had another two awesome days =). And I'm gonna talk about these two awesome days that I just had. I'll remember this chain of events because these were the best 4days in a row I've ever had. =). I thank God for blessing me with that. I feel really tired right now, but I want to write. So here I go!


Saturday
Today's the day of rehearsal for Teens Sunday! I was supposed to wake at 9 so I can prepare alot of stuff, like bring a dumbbell to kj then restring my guitar then make my way to KAPT, butttt. I woke at 1130. Awesome. I reached at 1235. Sorry people! We had McD's, which consequently made me broke for the rest of the day.

Reached back KAPT at around 1, met with Cher Young, some haven't reached yet so I went to the back to quickly set up the camera and then to backstage for Cheer Briefing. The cheer was changed, so there were *some* minor complications, but we all know how it came out in the end, didn't we ^^?

While sitting at the back filming the stage, I had this thought. "The people on God's stage are part of God's play, we the videocrew are involved in that we present God's play to everyone else. And that is worth it, showing the world of God's excellance, splendour and beauty." Of course, looking back on this now I feel that there is stuff to add on. For one, not only the videocrew, but the lightings, sound and LCD play a bigger part in presenting God's play, so they deserve more credit. Another is, that people behind the scenes really get overlooked sometimes for what they do. BUT, because what we are doing is for God, it's worth it =). Because, ALL HONOUR AND GLORY GOES TO GOD =D!

All in all, it was a really tiring day (we ended at 9), especially for those doing the lightings, sound, LCD, and of course the people on stage. Really pei fu all of you for your efforts! Honestly, I feel that filming is the easiest to do in the Multimedia Ministry =x. Lightings, Sound, LCD, their job is wayyy tougher. So yeah, really think that they need a shoutout to thank them for their work =p. WHOEVER'S DOING ANY OF THESE KIND OF JOBS, THANK YOU =)! Of course, not forgetting the people on stage. I'm not familiar with what and how they do things, but I do not doubt that it is harder than filming. Keeping a clean and fashionable image, making sure their singing and instrumental skills are at their best, it's a stressful and tough thing to upkeep.

As such, with everyone exhausted at the end of the day, everyone talked and slacked for a while before breaking into groups and to "dinner"! Reached home at 11, went to sleep at 1, and in the end woke up late the next morning =D.

TODAY
Woke up at 730, the time that we were SUPPOSED TO REACH. In the end I reached at 815? Everyone was already in place, I rushed to joel and kenneth on stage. Man I feel bad for always being late but I can't kick the habit =/. Nothing tangible to kick.

The atmosphere, it was like the moments before the first bullet of a huge war is shot. All the last minute preparations and checking everything is in order. Video side was already done, like I said, we have it the easiest. To me at least. We were doing a final FULL rehearsal before everything was to be left till 10am. AND EVERYTHING WENT WELL =D. WOOTS! TEENS SUNDAY, PREPARE TO BE A SUCCESS!

Ate at 915, rushed our food, rushed back at 940. For me at least =p. Heh. Moment I went back have to standby at camera le. Joel's in the back, kenneth on stage. Nice. The front camera really adds a whole another dimension to everything =D.

955, the countdown video comes up. I face the camera downwards so the screen appears black when it switches. 10seconds, I get ready. *dun dun* *dun dun* *dun dun*. The moment approaches, it just seems everyone's being prepared for something big. ZERO SECONDS. Everyone on stage starts cheering, it's pitch black, so only sounds could be hear. Sounds of cheer, shoutings of praise. In comes the drum intro! After about the third beat, I start focusing the camera slowly forward. In comes the vocals! I tilt the camera upward and continue to focus slowly onto Amos. From there, the sounds, the LCD, and of course, the LIGHTING. Everything, it all seems so whimsical, so.... Magical. It was fantastic. It was upbeat. It kept the adrenaline pumping, everyone clapped and sang along. This was because of our wonderful people who volunteered for Choir =). They added majorly to the atmosphere, to have a big group of people clapping, cheering, and singing their hearts out for Jesus! It seemed as though everyone forgot just how old they were, and the only thing that mattered was clapping and singing and worshipping the one and only God. It didn't seem as though, it was! It was awesome. Better than hillsong!

The moving headlights continue flashing back and forth, lighting the audience over and over, the stage lightings continues to flicker, adding the effect of drama and magic. During the third praise song, which Noah was leading, I had another thought. It was continueing a bit from yesterday so of course it doesnt have the thoughts above =). "Lightings, sound, LCD. The video crew really does have it the easiest. So we have a major responsibility to display their work the best that we can." And tried I did. Honestly, everything today was awesome! Filming still has much more to catch up on to best display everyone's prowess =P.

Then there was a cheer. I felt my heart beating really loudly. As was Siwei's =p. So I told him something. Nervous, HIT OUR FRIKKIN CHESTS. BEAT THEM. NAN ZI HAN. HAHA! The cheer was utterly fantastic =D. I no more voice now. =DDD.

Rushed back up to film Leon's CRAZY CUPS ^^. Haha! Then there was testimony by Hui Ling and Candy. It really reminded me alot about Spark camp. If Ivan had never brought me to Spark, I would have never had the chance at all these wonderful experiences that I had for the past year. HEY. IT'S BEEN A YEAR SINCE I MET EVERYONE =). OH MAN. JUST REMEMBERED. As I was saying =p. I just wish Ivan was still going to Teens regularly =(. He's my shepherd. He brought me to Church. He brought me to Christ. God used him to lead me to my Salvation. I can't ever forget Ivan. Heck, I want to go up on stage with him and do the exact same thing Candy and HuiLing did. God used Ivan to save me. How can I ever forget?

I want to do the same thing Ivan did for me last year. Sponsor people to Spark. So far, my junior agreed to go, and I'm damn happy with that =D. I pray for my friends though, Wei Qiang, Nicholas, Kai Jing, that they can make it as well. I want them to come. I want them to meet the wonderful people that God had me meet. The love that He gave them, who in turned, showed it to me continuously. "The greatest gift you can ever give to a friend is SALVATION." I want to give them that great gift that Ivan gave me.

Continuing on, The service ended after Sister Xueling shared from the word of God, followed by Pastor George. Teens Sunday ended with a BANG as Noah lead the last praise song with the lightings, sound, LCD doing simply wonderfufantastic job! It was a sight to be hold, the awesomeness that lay before me standing all the way at the back filming it all down. Coincidentally, I'm listening to Salvation is here by Hillsong right now XD.

And so, everything ended the best that it could. Sure there were bumps along the road here and there, but we're riding a steamroller =D. Nothing can stop us when we unite as one church =D!

After all the packing up and debriefing, I borrowed John's cam and started spamming photos =D. Then, we went for lunch at Marina Square. Walked to Esplanade to discuss about spark with alicia and CECELIA TAY SIN YEE. SEE? I PUT YOUR NAME BIG BIG YOU BETTER SEE AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You asked for it ;). So anyway, talked quite a bit about group identity, cheer, ice breaking games and the likes. Everyone looked really tired =(. So I tried to end everything quickly by pushing everything forward as fast I can. Nothing solid was done yet tho =p. Sorry! Haha! Both of them looked like really gonna die le O_o.

After that went to grandma's house for my cousin's brithday, where I straightaway went to sleep upon reaching. Guess I was more tired than I thought. So that was my day. Went home after that of course.

NOW
As you can see,(or maybe not), today was a wonderful experience for me. I learned that if I can put so much effort into today's service to make everything picture perfect, why can't I do it every service? Is it because my friends are on stage that's why I put in more effort? Well, every week my friends are gonna be on stage, just that I never really put any importance into it when I should have. As such, gonna do my best for every service regardless of the amount of energy I have left or the amount of fatigue I'm feeling =P. That goes for LIFE as well. ALL GLORY GOES TO GOD! ALL THAT I DO HAS TO BE FOR THE GLORY OF GOD! And I will do my best for you God, you granted me these wonderful experiences.

*NOTE* Just came back from hospital. Mum had horrible rashes all over her body, was really disgusting. She asked if me or my elder brother wanted to follow her to the hospital. I didnt want to at first, cause I wanted to sleep at 1. It's 230 now btw. She asked at 12midnight. But in the end, I did because I felt God wanted me to do this. That was why He gave me four days of awesomeness, he wanted to test if I really wanted to listen to Him. I'm so glad I did. Cause if I didn't, I would be feeling really worried and guilty for every minute my mum wasnt at home. It was midnight. Not really a very safe time for a mother in close to her 50s to be out. And I kept having these horrible thoughts that might have happened to my mum had she gone out on her own, had I not felt convicted to come along. It was scary out, I can't imagine my mum being out there by herself, so I was so glad I came along.

Turns out, she ate something she shouldn't have. Lol. So yeah. We reached home I blogged and plurked about this, and I have to get up at 8 the next morning. But I know it's worth it. She's my Mum. God gave me four days of awesomeness. It's the very least thing I can do, and I know I can do more. PICTURE POSTS FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS WOO. right after those past two days of awesomeness playing with classmates, prawning, and pulau ubin and basketball =D.
