today's MCG was a sucess! (:
thank good for yongkang, minshian and yanyu for the decoration! they really put in effort to do them and- yes, they were pretty. the decorations, that is. and the food was delicious. and i was really full just now i almost could not walk.
the drama was great and guihao did a great job for the background music! the games comm (jiancong, mark, pete, guihao and faith) lead great! i'm sure we had fun. harhar! and faith- she's funny as usual. (: the games started off in an awkward atmosphere, but ended up high. harhar! and we got a stupid panic game. kana pulled by yihui. miao.
the usher team was great! weilun(i hate to say this) lead well. i really have to say he has got great leadership skills. the ushers consists of one experienced user, krisstle, and three other first-time-ushers, weilun, clarence and dawn quek. amazing, they did really well, like how professional ushers should.
the drama performance by marcus, sunny, alvin, luan, rachel and yihui was really good! they were in beat and all and i know people enjoyed their dance and acting. i know their acting skills had touched the people's heart, stirring them to think upon the "questions" posted in the lines. (: God, do your work in them.
seriously speaking, i knew God was with us during MCG.
the drama team practiced a lot of times for their performance. their dance, coordination, lines, and everything was fine- but wasn't perfect as yet. but during the actual performance- EVERYTHING WAS SO PERFECT. even the music coordination. so it's like- i knew God was there. 'cause rachel was in beat and sunny was DANCING.
as for me- i find it a miracle from God.
this morning, i was worried about the later on performance. i was wondering if i'll be able to finish the piece, we are the reason. then, i tried singing. i opened by mouth to say "ah".
CROAK.
oh my. i panicked. my voice got worse when i reached RC for rehearsal. my voice hasn't woke up yet, and it was only an hour away from performance. panic. i prayed- 'cause actually- i'm still having a slight sorethroat. i tried drinking more water and all and my voice was better. but i could still feel that weird weird feeling in my throat. just before i sang during the performance, i turned around and i prayed to God.
God, please use me and help me Lord. please let me sing well. not for MY sake, but YOURS. i pray Lord, that people will be touched by my voice, the song, the lyrics, Your Presence. please Lord. let them ponder upon questions towards You. Touch their hearts and work in them Lord. Amen.
then, i walked up to the seat and sat down, and smiled at the audience. the truth is, i was so dead scared. if you had noticed, my voice trembled a little. i was worried that i could not give the impact i want the people to have, 'cause i think it would be pointless for me to sing if the people aren't touched by God. i prayed in my heart while singing, and God calmed me down with His presence and i sang with Him.
i didn't went out of tune or forget my lyrics or sing the wrong lyrics. it was as if God was with me, guiding me through the song. people may feel nothing, but i definitely feel something from God.
and it felt great.
i hoped i touched their hearts.
(:
thank you God for using me. (:
anyways- i'm pretty upset 'cause my newbie/sheep dawn TAY cannot come for MCG! 'cause she kana LOCKED IN. why did her parents go out before she does? when she called me up, she sounded so sad like she wanted to cry.
anyways- wanted to go SWEE LEE tomorrow. BUT. church office needs help! so i'll go there. then maybe after that i'll go SWEE LEE. if they need more help- forget SWEE LEE- God, here i come! harhar.
but i want my guitar. )':
