Eden-Sol
K on to more interesting stuff. Thursday... Actually I kinda forgot what I did for that entire day until I saw the Deathnote book that Choon Wing lent me. So I sorta guess that there was something to do with the band... Oh. It was our first bible study session? If I'm not mistaken. Or was that on Tuesday? Argh hols are messing with my head.
But yeah if I remember correctly, I came ultra super early and went to Guoren's house to fiddle around with guitar. But in the end they decided to go to the Macs at Toa Payoh. So I went there and bible study began! It was about discipline in the church and I think it was really appropriate and meaningful especially at that period of time for me.
After that Eden-Sol (without Guoren again) went to City Hall to have lunch. We found a pretty nice pasta, baked rice and pizza place and had lunch there. After that I fished out my cards and we had a few rounds of trading bridge. I think I have a super power or something cos I kept calling cards from other people and getting them. So one of the rounds I had J, 10, 8, 6, 3, 2 of spades and I asked Choon Wing for A spades and Gabriel for K spades. So that round I won in a super imba way by calling the Q spades.
We got chased away soon though. But the owners of the place were pretty nice and gave us really good service. Yeah and afterwards I went for worship prac.

YE
Worship prac was pretty good. I was playing with a team made out of mostly sec 2s. Which was pretty cool and was a first in main service. Honestly the first time I played in main was Sec 4 beginning? But this time Nat, Shaunald, Daryl, Marcus were in the team. And so was Li En (Sec 3) and Yan Leen (Adult). So majority of them were still young.
The wonderful thing was that they produced wonderful music and had this pure heart of worship that I rarely see in most music teams I've gone to see before. They had this nice spirit of obedience and trust in God and confidence stemmed from that. We played a total of 8 songs that night for prac and had an awesome time.
So on Sunday we had worship, and we led the congregation really really well considering our ages. Just by relying on God's strength alone, we managed to pull it off. And the comments made by Uncle William (main service I/C) that day were really encouraging. Cos he told us that he felt that spirit of worship in the church that day and he told us that the congregation was empowered by the worship. Even our pastor Rev Soon gave us plaudits during the announcement section of the service. And I guess we say...
Honour and power and praise be to our God forever and ever amen!
Cos it was God's work, not ours.

Eden-Sol
Friday we came down to City Hall yet again to do some charity work this time. So Eden-Sol (without Sam) met at the MRT and headed for the Padang, where the Bull Run was being held. Have no idea what the Bull Run is?
Its a charity event organised for major companies. So that all their employees have a chance to do work for charity. And by running in the marathon, they were able to raise money for some beneficiaries such as the School Pocket Money Fund and Assisi Home and Hospice. So we went there to help out. Our task was to look after the bags at one of the booths so we pretty much did nothing actually.
Suddenly it started raining and the run was postponed for awhile so we went to the nearby cafe to play cards. Bridge to be exact. And Guoren was really funny haha. He kept playing wrongly and Choon Wing was a little annoyed by that. So most of the time the person who was Guoren's partner kept on losing.
Yup soon Guoren and Choon Wing left and Sam came so we went to do our stuff. Some of them were out of the job scope but oh well. We had to carry their goodie bags all the way from the far away booth, move some furniture and to some dirty work but it was ok. We ended up with dirty shoes but a whole lot of goodies cos each of us got a goodie bag each as well.
After that Sam had to go for cell so me and Gabriel went to Food Junction at Raffles City to eat. Yeah we talked a lot about bass and guitar stuff and a bit of personal stuff as well. Yup and that was it for that night.
Here are some pics...
Yup this is the Bull Run.
A little something I got as a souvenir. A bull duh.

Guitar
Monday was guitar again, and it was pretty good! Considering that I came late and had an awfully cold lunch, it was ok. Halfway Ben Tham had to go so I had to take guitar 3 for awhile. But I knew nuts about their part and they didn't want to continue (cos their part they had to learn was super difficult) but instead continue practising that portion. The sad thing was that only 5 people from section 3 turned up that day.
Ensemble prac was really fun. Aditi brought this ukelele thing which was really fun to mess around with. But I could see this time that the ensemble was much more better disciplined than last time. Yeah but I was pretty high so I laughed quite a bit (which I shouldn't have done). It was quite a good experience. This time we did up to page 5, and pages 1-3 sounded really neat, clean and good.
After that we had composition comm meeting, which was ultra Dream Theatrish cos Hyqel kept playing their songs just to illustrate the concept of very fast time signature and melodic changes. Yup so we got our song outline done and we're doing a bit of the song on Wednesday.

Leisure...
Recently I've been playing Megaman X: Command Mission and I've gone till the second last chapter so far. And I've been playing a new game, Shin Megami Tensei as well and I'm doing pretty good in it.
As for reading... I'm reading the Deathnote manga that Choon Wing lent me. Wanted to post some pics but I think Deathnote pics are too widespread nowadays.
K thats all for the past week! Till next time...
