What a weekend!

It started with a bang at SAJC's Life Concert. I didn't expect to experience anything "spiritual" from behind the sound board, but the experience of watching people go crazy about Jesus is quite a stir. Ok, I am not going to be cynical and question the intent of the people who were there, but I know the objective of the organizers who made that concert a reality. It was their 6th Life Concert, but the first in the new SAJC. I was really fearful to do it on my own because of my lack of experience. However thanks to the kind proffessional help we got from a rental house, I just did my thing according to my experience (abeit only in church) and my training in FSV. I have nothing to boast about man, but what little experience I have in terms of number of live gigs I did, really paid off.

During the first rehearsal about 2 weeks ago, I felt quite comfortable working with the organizers and the band. They band, wow, and singers... WOW WOW! I think listening to a tight band and good singers really make ur job easier. There was this worship leader who had a very powerful voice, her name was cool too, Emelene (cool name for a band!). I have not heard such a powerful voice since Pastor Janet and Pastor Joy. WOah... The band, man, the band was really tight! The drummer was a worker with Chapel of Resurrection, Alvin and a student Moses. Anyway, apart from that, the bond that was formed during the concert was a strong one. I still miss those people despite only spending about 4 days with them. Now I look foward to the Thanksgiving thingie on the 30th.

One of the surprises of the gig was Justin giving testimony. He told me the day before on MSN and I was so excited. When he went on stage, I went crazy and, boy, this guys is going to be a great preacher one day man! He can really deliver a message! Caleb was with me on this gig as my assistant. He was a great help to me. I am so blur and he sort of help me keep things in order. I am sure he had a blast at the concert too. BTW, the concert was full-house!! I mean it! People were standing on the isle, it was so cool! So many young people, so many people singing with passion inone accord. I have not experience that in Grace for a long long time. I mean I hear people sing, but with passion? Com'on!! That's not the point here. For my homies, before the passion can be seen, the heart has to be renewed. Oh Lord... for that I'll pray!

I must mention this particular crazy girl who was one of the helper in the concert. Her name is Angie and she suffered from Amnesia. She cannot remember her past after a minor surgery. But she is such a wacko with or without those memories! I just went for broke and let out my lameness on her. Boy, I suan her big time man! Well, I don't think she'll forget me anytime soon!

I've been shooting this weekend and it ended at 3 am every night. I am almost in heaven now. hahaha... The second day was bad, the problem with the camera and the nature of the scene didn't make it easier, but I think I made up for it by making use of all I know to make the shoot sound happening. This is all I want to say about work. Oh, it's the first time I worked with Michelle too! She's formerly from Grace. Her hubby was the Camera man, Lau, who used to work in Grace Missions.

Michelle

Lau

Oh, I only just realised that one of the actress, Maylene, was actually the girl who acted as Sly's gf in shooting star (I read it somewhere lah). So she is actually famous!! Dang and I hurled lameness on her like an idiot! Then again, famous people also wanted to be treated as normal people.

Maylene

Her co-actress is Michelle and she looked like Suqi. Now this zombie make up on though.

So now it's the lull period again. What am I going to do about the time i've been given? I want to be a good steward of what's been given by the Lord. In this case, it's time. I want to make much of it man! I want to do so much, I wonder if I am ready. How come I dun feel ready? It's because I've not been thinking about the things that I should. Work really takes so much out of me. If u are a student, I advice u to make much of what u've got now, esp time. When u start working and have a family, u may wish to do so many things, but u have to cut down and do what u can afford time for. It's not a bad thing, I have my best run in life. Now is about time to settle down before my baby arrives. All the more I must be wise and spend time doing the things that are more important.
