Music Ministry Outing + Sentosa - MC Outing

It was baptism service yesterday and I was scheduled to play the acoustic guitar. At 3pm, we were at Room 306, preparing the instruments, mics, song sheets, etc. It's my first ever official band practice since April 2005. It was also the first time playing with Aurelia as I've practiced with the others before. The other event which happened today was the Student Ambassadors Management Committee [SA MC] outing which was held at Sentosa.

Can't imagine that we practiced 6, almost 7 songs in an hour!! We had to do our sound check at 4:30pm yesterday at the auditorium and I was probably in a mess. LOL. It's my first time ever after like so many donkey years?? As I was preparing during the practice, I felt God's presence and His blessing upon us. Although we had little practice, we managed to savage the little bits which were a bit messy and covered up though. LOL. Was trying to communicate with Aurelia but failed to. Nevertheless, Jean and I had eye contact for transition and we caught Aurelia's attention too, after a while. Haha. In terms of communication, we definitely listen to each other, which is a good sign. =)

What encouraged me most??


My cell group, Gathering Of The Peas came to support me for my first time on stage!! And I'm truly encouraged as there wasn't anyone from our cell getting baptised. Their presence supported me and lifted my confidence level up to be more comfortable with what I'm using to serve and praise God.

Dinner was at church after the service. We had a good time fellowship and the music ministry outing was held at that Tiong Bahru park I think. It's near Gan Eng Seng Secondary and opposite of Tiong Bahru Plaza. We played like we never had any childhood days!! Haha..... LOL..... Pics to be uploaded soon for viewing pleasure. Overall, we had a great time fellowship, getting to bond and know each other better through our acting skills, eating of mooncakes and lighting of the paper lanterns. Indeed, we are a big and growing family.

That ended the day with Justin and I, spending most of our travelling time chatting and getting bonded with each other. Sort of get along even better as usual. Hope to get more chances like these. All of you rockz!!

It was raining this morning as I reached Harbourfront MRT and supposedly to be at Sentosa much earlier. But due to our handsome Jonathan, we were extremely late. In any case, we had great fun bonding and feasting after a series of games, treasure hunting and forfeits.

We had a great lunch and continued our games like volleyball, captain's ball and concentration. Had a little tanned during the games. Bathed and we left the place in the evening.

Met up with Dino for dinner while the three singing champions were enjoying their singing and waited for all of them.

Overall, I find my day relaxing and less tensed as before. Saw my module selection page and was glad that I've got the module I wanted. Music Appreciation. Praise God for it and I hope I can glorify Him as I learn more about music.

Gonna rest early. Tomorrow's another day to plan and settle lots of administrative issues. Hope to see Amphora for practices soon and of course, my beloved cell on Thursday!!

Be Blessed!! Everyday! It's You I live for!!
