After a busy busy weekend, I slept at 10:30pm yesterday after putting on rice mask (nicely gotten for me by Mary Sim). In my very very sleepy condition, I didn’t seem to notice any difference that it made my face (whether brighter or filled with moisture) it did feel fresher though, but I’m wondering if it’s just because to put the mask, I need to wash my face.. So, i shall give another commentary on Rice Mask another day when I’m more awake when i put it.
Ok.. let’s start from Saturday. After a 3 hours practice on Saturday morning, i went for youth to have another 1+ hours of practice for youth service (i was leading) and then we had cell group event in T3. I can’t describe how happy I was that Lichu and Abby were the ones organising and settling the games and sharing session. Could finally relax and just enjoy. Had a surprise by my cell group! I totally didn’t expect it! Plus, it’s been so long since my birthday was over.
Clovis say “Who ask you to surprise me on my birthday! Now your turn!”
Haha well, it wasn’t a bad ‘retribution’ to get though. I reached home at about 1245, bathed and was asleep at 1am. Fast ah? Was so tired. The next day i dragged myself up and went for service at 7:45pm. My mom dragged my dad up from his sleep to send me there. =X haha they didn’t want me to take a taxi there. So good la! i save money.
For all those who are concern at how it went, it was okay. But tiring to serve. Cause we got to stand for hours playing. But cannot compare to the backups. At least i wasn’t wearing heels and during prophesy time i could discreetly sit down at the steps behind. NO WONDER the guitarist always disappears behind the stage after worship! A note to all main service servicer, the lights behind are very good for thawing! Brian And i were warming ourselves at those lights. And during altar call, Brian played a warmed flute. Cool ah. Haha But right now the fingers pressing down on the strings has upped their defense mechanism and put on extra LAYERS of skin. It’s very hard now. and still reddish sore-ish from yesterday.
But worth it la! muahaha i had good reports on my playing by the audio people, whose comments i take more seriously actually. So thank God! It was a very good first time playing experience. And it’s near IMPOSSIBLE to play on Sunday if you can’t play by ear. Almost everything is impromptu.
Oh. and i was called on to pray during the prayer in the worship team. It’s been quite some time since I was nervous when I’m called to pray. So had a little adrenaline rush before worship started. haha
And i just got to say that Sister Elma’s voice is NICE! We were practising for anniversary, and while I was listening to her sing, i almost slept la. So soothing! After a bowl of tang yuan and a nice talk with Victor on the way home, i finally reached home after all the activities of the weekend, bathed, plonked down on my sofa-like bench at home, ate a father’s day dinner, continued on that sofa until 930 to which i announced to my sister that I’m going to sleep. But still continued to hang around a while more in front of the tv, watching “You are the one” and got sianified that Shi qian wasn’t the one who won and amused myself with Kim Ng’s reasons to which why the guys should be the one winning.
And then i felt like a Sims character who’s energy bar is blinking red with only 1% of energy left. To prevent myself from just collapsing to the ground in exhaustion, i went to sleep. Which marked my end of the weekend.
It’s monday today and I’m so free at work. Haha. I have cleared everything on my plate, so I’m just waiting for more work to come in. 2 more week! Countdown has begun.
Oh ya. because of yesterday’s “You Said” I digged out Pearle’s hillsong cd collection in 2000 and am listening to it now. So nice… and refreshing. And I’m going to download 4 Kent Henry’s cd from Kalai this Sunday! I know.. oldie .
