it's been a while
it's been a while since i last blogged... ok i repent. it's been a very long while since i last blogged. somehow just dont feel like typing down how my life has been, or plainly the events of my life. meanwhile i've been taking a step back from blogging, and reading other people's blog instead. reading about the events at one point of their life, reading about the revelation and testimonies they have shared, and rejoice with them the blessings they have received. while on the other end, i was probably both lazy and fearful to pen down a single thing, fearing that my life is not as beautiful as others'
and hence. now i cant really trace back to where i left off. just a major event or two to mention, i guess.
on 01st October, Angie got married. and i was invited, quite to my surprize. 'cause when Laurence got married, he didnt even invite us, the relatively "small kids". so when Angie was getting married, i didn't think twice that i would be invited lah. but come a time, it was before 1st service started, i went to the monitor room to get some tools. and there Angie said with a rather kid-dish manner, "JackJack. You are invited to my wedding (drags the word)". Then i was like "O.O i'm invited?". And she said, "Yupyup. You are important. The sound-guy". And I got the wedding invitation card from here later that day. How cute, she literally put Jackjack on the invitation card. So it reads like, "... has invited Jackjack to the wedding of..." something like that. What will people think if they see the invitation card sia?"
back on the topic of 01st October. wedding was held at One Degree Fifteen, at sentosa. the wedding was really good manz, in terms of the place, the planning, the organization, the... everything lah. simply the best that anyone could ever ask or think of. they even showed the video of the wedding taunt they did in the morning. the girls were cunning, but it was really hilarious, totally.
sorry manz. no photos.
what else is there. nothing much already leh. except that last week was my birthday. and i spent it like any ordinary day. having school, hang out with minijack. interesting. not that i'm complaining or what lah. i kinda expected it. teehee.
and down with the depressing stuff. ok recently i'm starting to hate sunday a bit, epecially someone. with the rock kids rehearsal running after the 4th service, we've gotta clear the stage fast. and i hated it. i dont hate the stage clearing. i just hate the additional burden that has to be added on to me just because i have in one way or another taken charge of this stage logistics thingy.
two sundays ago. manpower was a real real problem. the usual people were either overseas, not serving 3rd and 4th service, or having to go off after 4th service. leaves me with nobody to do teardown with. no choice have to call upon Minijack. of which certain things he cannot do because of muscular abilities or size. thank God Ronnie offered a hand and called upon his kids to help out too. the only thing was that there was no system in place to keep the room tidy. so the things were all over the place and there was hardly a walkway. obviously i got a scolding for that. i wouldnt mind it 'cause it was kind of my fault. but i just didnt like the idea that no one could do teardown with me when i needed them crucially.
and just last sunday. i roped me 4 people, including myself. supposedly we could clear the stage pretty fast already. just a few slow-downs such as the ADCs and musicians parked at backstage, the rock kids people walking around the stage, and there was still someone being prayed for in the amethyst room. and what do i get? another scolding, saying we were doing the teardown too slowly. "WT#". it aint exactly our, or my fault for this what. it's just things i cant control, and our end we are stretching ourselves already. somebody please tell me why?
why do i have to get all the sh!t. i'm not working full-time in church in any way. i'm getting paid just like any other fellows doing the stage logistics respectively since we distribute the pay equally. so why am i getting all the scolding everytime some thing goes wrong? why am i getting all the stress looking for manpower. why am i getting that black face from my boss? why am i having to go the extra mile?
so church life hasnt been very pleasant for me. my boss has tried to talk to one person to find out more about me. and that person followed up by talking to me, talking to me from her perspective, having me to understand from his/her perspective. a friend also told me how i have to understand my boss, and undo what i have not done right. ok, advice taken. but the thing is, why is nobody understanding me, from my perspective? it's like they're assuming i'm fine and alright to start with, these are just silly mistakes that i happened to make accidentally.
it's been a while since i've experienced joy and rest in my heart like i used to have. it's probably just my flesh, once again. numb me, somebody. please.
