the first week of holiday
so fast, and it's already 3 weeks since the camp. time sure flashes by fast. and school term break was just around the corner. a little sad case though, the holiday was just one week after the camp. if not, could concentrate on school and camp individually, instead of being torn between the two. so anywayz, during the first-half of the break, here's a few activities to blog about.
17th December 2008... Wednesday
there was a DARE cyber event. basically, an activity where DARE youths get to engage in gaming on Wii and XBox, i think, followed by some kind of workshop. quite addictive lah. Mjay, one other helper, and I were playing Rock band during the youth's lunch time. too bad it was only an hour, of which we were asked to take a break cause some group had to do some rehearsal for a while. i mainly played on the Bass Guitar, and on the Drums for one song. haha, not easy sia. really needs eye and hand coordination. the rest of the time were spent laughing at the rest playing the games. a hilarious sight indeed.
and there was praise and worship. and the better part of it, there is no sound check. so it's a plug and play thing lor. don't really care so much about sound quality lah. fair enough, ok already. then there was preaching, and a wrap up. after which, joined Darrel Leong and his RSM buddies for dinner. then on a last minute thought, decided to stay over at his place. since we were going to serve again the next day morning. so had to borrow a shirt from him, and he was kind enough to throw in a boxer for me too. omg, my first time wearing a pair of boxers, and it feels so good! ok, details reserved. slept on a sleeping bag that night.
18th December 2008... Thursday
then the next day, there was ARROW Students Men's and Women's Meeting. i did the first segment of the Men's meeting while Mjay did the second segment. 'cause i went into Rock Auditorium to set up for a combined service. haha. a praise and worship band with no Electric Guitarist, then still got songs like Run. but in the end, turned out not bad lah. Elaine was doing great at trying to cover the electric guitar parts. oh yea, i was doing Monitor, as usual.
after that, went to eat with Jason, Wanhua and Anthony at Marina Square food court. haha. Jason noticed and asked about my half-dead-ness. then he mentioned that sleeping on sleeping bag will make one's energy level be drained by half for the next day. haha, it never crossed my mind, but seems quite true leh.
20th December 2008... Saturday
and there was Christmas Bash service, a service where all 3 youth ministries come together for a combined christmas service. no choice, had to use hokkien equipments. that's what happens when they plan some event just before an Indoor stadium service. i was mixing, but initially i was mixing so loud, but i wasnt aware of it. Jason said, "wah, so loud. like at Indoor stadium like that".
before soundcheck, had a hard time trying to familiarize myself with the hokkien soundboard sia. it seemed like a friend to me, yet at the same time, an alien. and during soundcheck, because i was using the hokkien soundboard also, so had to do relatively major changes to the settings. could have done more, but lack of time. Mok was quite funny lah. after that he said that he had never seen someone worked so fast on a soundboard before, hands flying all around the soundboard, setting the settings, etc. lol.
praise and worship was good. and after that, had a quick wrap up, which wasnt anything much cause hokkien was going to have their service at Rock Audi the very next morning. so Jason and I went to grab a quick dinner at Macs at 1900h, and cabbed down to Indoor stadium.
i kinda felt sorry for the sound servers at Indoor stadium sia. they were asked to report at 1700h, but nothing productive was going on until 1930, just nice when Jason and I arrived. probably cause the UnUsUaL people were late in handing over again. and originally I wasn't the monitor engineer one, a break would be really nice for me, but i was called upon last minute. tsk. Mjay so mean also, come and say i always steal other people's "rice bowl" when it comes to serving. o.o
think we were dismissed from Indoor stadium at about 0015h. Mjay and i went for supper at Kallang Macs. reached home around 0145h, and slept at 0230h.
21st December 2008... Sunday
had to report at Indoor stadium at 0630h. did final checks and had service. no hiccups on Monitor side, praise God.
then Foon and i went to Raffles City to eat. forgot what's the shop name, but i ate there before and didnt like it previously lah. but ok, slight improvement. we went to eat there, and there was one dish that i really really liked. some japanese egg thingy. but other than that, not my usual diet. after which went to watch movie with Foon, Twilight. haha, we didnt want to watch at first, but it seemed we cant watch any other movies cause of Foon's timing. so at the end of it, i actually thought the show was ok leh. though there are 2 things. one, is that i know Twilight, the movie is adapted from the original book, with a handful of plots changed, as usual, and that the book is way better than the movie. two, is that i dont understand why people say that Edward Cullen is hot and handsome, some girls claiming that Edward Cullen is theirs. i certainly think otherwise lor. tsktsk. and overall, Twilight seems a nice movie to me, that majority of people i know disagreed.
and that was it for this first week of my holiday. will catch up on the second week soon, i hope.
