Silver Bells

I decided to show this photo to show everyone what the colour of handbells is supposed to be. SILVER! haha. That was one of the rare moments that the bells were silver, so admire it. Yeah.

Anyway, mghandbells is having a concert this year. Here are the details

1. Performing at Singapore Conference Hall
2. 3oth June (I know there's that stupid barker carnival. BUT the concert is in the evening so ya. You can come after it)
3. Tickets at priced at either $10 or $15, but $10 is good enough since I know no one wants to pay so much
4. We've invited SCGS and Cedar to perform with us
5. We're playing familiar songs
6. And I'll update more another time. Yeah..

Try to come alright!!

Haha. Ok. Don't feel like blogging anymore.

GOLD

After all those practices. After all those scoldings. After all things that were bad.

It finally paid off. because....

WE GOT GOLD FOR SYF!! GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD!
(I don't care if I'm late or whatever..)

To think that Mrs Aw always scared Rui Jun and I saying that we are no where close to Gold.

To think that upon hearing that we got Gold, Rui Jun, Tiffany, Priscilla and myself just screamed for less than 2 seconds and then just started crying and crying. HAHA. That was how relieved we were. We were just squeezing each other's hand and worrying for the results.

I'm so glad that all our hard work actually payed off. I'M SO HAPPY THAT I'M AT A LOST FOR WORDS!

And most importantly. I think God really deserves all honour and praise. We prayed so hard before we left, before we performed. And just before we got our results. I believed that many of us were praying very hard. Yes, indeed, God works wonders.

we're all in this together

Ok, this may sound as if I've a split personality. But just as I was blog hopping, I realised that I'm not so nervous anymore. And I really want to Thank God for that. It's like He really calmed me down.

And I also realised how grateful I am to have such wonderful friends. Rui Jun, Tiffany, Priscilla and everyone else. We wouldn't have gotten this far if anyone was actually missing from the choir. And while reading Tiffany's blog on the crazy plans we had on saturday, I realised how I'm totally missing out on the fun stuff. I should just relax a bit and enjoy the music more. I guess when we enjoy the music, everything just sounds so much nicer.

I guess sec four is really so stressful that sometimes I focus on the wrong stuff just to pretend to have everything under control. What am I going to do man? I'll die with work overload at this rate la. Oh well. But now's not the time to be emo. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY THOUGHTS!!

I think I should go pack my stuff now. haha. I almost typed myself instead of my stuff. haha. I'm going high. GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE!

the moment of truth

My heart is beating super super fast. I can't help but feel ultra nervous. Just to update you all, Tomorrow's my SYF. And I'm just feeling to scared that I really want to cry.

And yet I'm really excited. I really want to know where we stand. But am I going to cry tears of joy, or cry because I cannot stop regretting. NO NO NO! I MUST THINK POSITIVE THOUGHTS!!

Please pardon me. I'm really going crazy right now. I'm like torturing myself by thinking too much!

Ok! Anyway. I hope that you all will pray for us. That tomorrow we'll give of our best. That we will be able to sense God's presence with us throughout the whole thing. That nothing will go wrong will our pieces. And basically just bless the whole choir to be fit and energetic and ready to face the music. (both figuratively and literally. AHAHA GET IT?!!)

Yeah. I'm in no mood to blog anymore. Till another time..

OOH OOH!! BEFORE I FORGET! I PASSED MY 2.4 KM RUN WITH A 'B' BECAUSE I DECIDED TO WALK THE LAST ROUND. WHICH IS NOT THE POINT. CONSIDERING THE FACT THE LAST TIME I ACTUALLY RAN WAS LAST YEAR. I PASSED!! WOOHOO!!

First intern

Today we had our first internship! I was looking forward to it all week and it was nothing close to what I expected.

Tin Tin, Cherilyn and I went to junior department. (P4-P6) And like Mr Lam and Mr Ang both didn't come today. So like when we went down, I volunteered to play the piano when Aunty Sabrina led and Cher played the guitar next to me. And because there was a lack of teachers, the three of us decided to impromptu-ly plan games. So after singing, Aunty Sabrina asked if they wanted games or lessons. No doubt they chose games.

Bear in mind that every few minutes we had to shout and ask them to keep quiet. Threatening them with forfeits. Dangerous bunch of kids.

So we started off with the really fun and dangerous safe game of Scissors Paper Stone BX. And only a few of them played la. And to think before that they sounded so enthu. They even kept the chairs at record time. But when ask them to play, half of them run out of the room.

So after they started to get out of control, we decided to change games and initially wanted to play the game 'do you love your neighbour'. But they kinda didn't understand us and insisted that they wanted to play whacko. So I went to get the pillow from intermediate and we got them to introduce themselves. Somehow I think they must have this weird idea that sharing their name will kill them and we took forever just to get everyone's name out. Good thing that male teacher was there, if not the three of us would have died. So the game of whacko started off well. And it only lasted well for like 3 minutes? then it went totally out of control. The guys kept on whacking any random people they didn't like. And so we were forced to stop the game again. And this time we decided to keep it simple and play simon says. At this point of time, we couldn't stop laughing at the havoc they created and how they were so.... weird?

So like Tin Tin went mad. He said "Ok let's play Tin Tin says. Ok Tin Tin says QUIET!! Do I hear quiet?" And then Cherilyn and I burst out laughing. So like Tin Tin led this game (actually he did most of the games) and like after a while we had to show them the forfeit they had to do which was the chicken dance. So Tin Tin was trying to learn it from Cher and I and it was so weird. So like when we were showing them the chicken dance, this girl suddenly said "so cute!" and it was like so embarrassing la. Then they danced along. And finally they left.

Next week Tin Tin would be teaching in P4, cher helping in P5 and I in P6. Hopefully they'll be more in control. They were really energy sapping.

Come to think of it, back when we were in Junior Department the only similarity we had was that girls would sit in one side and guys the other. The red sea never seemed to have disappear. Guys hated girls and girls hated guys even more! haha. I remember how they tried so hard to get us to sit together but it never seemed to actually work. But I seriously don't remember being as rowdy and crazy as them. Back then my class had to remember John 1:1-14 and I heard that nowadays they don't do that anymore. Kids nowadays are getting madder and crazier. Next week I shall take something to get me high so that they can't do anything to make us go mad. I shall make them go mad instead. Ok I shall not be so mean. Oh wells. HAHA.

I'm so excited for next week!!!

DJW

YAY! My com is like finally repaired.

So anyway, for the past week, my school has this Discover Jesus Week (DJW). And I really like such stuff. It really gives you a chance to reflect on your life and all. That's what I feel la. And so ok I must admit that the band was fanciful. But TOO fanciful. And they chose songs that no one knew so like after a while it became a rock concert. (*hinting to you LIM ZITENG!) And then this youth pastor, super young guy, came and speak to us. He was telling us about the benefits of the cross and the things he does to get your attention is really good. If I ever do something that requires public speaking, I hope I can be half as fun as him. haha. So DJW was for 3 days la. And on the third day, the pastor ended the whole thing by describing in detail the pain, torture that Jesus went through. Just picturing the whole process in my mind just hit me on how I always took Jesus' death for granted. And praise the Lord, many people rededicated their lifes and some for the first time accepted Christ.

Today is Good Friday and I guess we all should be grateful for what God has done for us. That Jesus has paid the price for our sins. "For God so loved the world that He gave His One and Only beloved Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16.

Can you imagine. All we have to do is to believe in Him and all our sins are forgiven, we are granted freedom and on top of that we are given eternal life. How great is that. I don't know about you people out there, but there's really no greater love than this.

Ok, I'm kinda speechless now, till another time when I come to blog. haha
