Hey guys... The past week has been pretty alright. Busy to say the least. Reaching home at about 9 plus every single day of the week except Friday. One thing thats good for me is that ever since that revelation on Sunday, I've continued to place my trust in him and do everything in him, which is a really good thing.
Thanks man...

YE
Last week's YE was about love, which was when it came to me. Will leave that for a later post. What I'd like to talk about was YE worship ministry's meeting. We welcomed a couple of new people into the team, but unfortunately there are still a few vacancies in the worship leader area that have to be filled. I'm praying that it'll be ok. Dear Gerald's leading today, and I think he'll do a great job in touching the hearts of YE. Looking forward to it.
Got a lot of additional stuff this year to look forward to, such as worship modules, band dynamics workshops, group training in instruments, jam sessions, group and individual mentoring as well as the anticipated YE worship team outings!
So after all the discussion and stuff which Tim ran through pretty quickly, the worship ministry people had their first official spiritual feeding since the worship ministry was born. I remember when I first came in, I never had any of that. Everything was learnt through experience and not through teaching. Wonder how the next batch of worship teamers will fare?
Here are the valid points in the spiritual teaching: (Eden-Sol take note as well...)
- There is the presence of a spiritual hole in our soul
- To fill it we worship, allowing God to enter this whole
- So worship is the human response to the touch of God
- Worship happens when the holy spirit touches the human spirit
- And every faculty of the person is engaged with God
- Worship is so passionate that it cannot be dull
- We want more of his presence; with his presence there is pleasure
- Worship begins with a Godly decision
- Worship is a willing, not a feeling
- Worship God because he is worthy to be praised
Bible references: Psalms 60:11, Acts 16:16. 25. Matthew 2:8, Revelations 4:10

Eden-Sol
Week 3 marked the start of official CCA auditions and interviews... And I was one of the people at the MEP room auditioning for people for Raffles Rock. One sad thing to note is there were no bassists! Sad ehh... But of course some of the bands that came for auditions had their own bassists. Oh! I just recieved the news there'll be one on monday. Yay. The bassist situation in RJ isn't so sad after all haha.
K. So I came late for auditions on the first day (Monday), and missed the two band auditions that were held that day. I recieved feedback from Sam that one band was super ultra cool good. The band's name is Triad I think. The other band that auditioned wasn't so good. Still haven't decided who's in and out though.
Besides the bands, we auditioned a couple of singers, drummers, guitarists and keyboardists. And we managed to find MOCA his potential wife hahaha. He was the one who chose her some more. Yeah we were quite impressed by her. Besides that, on the first day there wasn't much visible talent in my opinion. (Maybe hidden talent?) But everyone did well!
The second day of auds was on Wednesday. I was there to check out the girl band (CCSS aka Hoobastink), and they were ok lah. They reminded me of the old eden-sol a bit. Still unsure of whether to take them in, cos vocals were considerably weak. If we find another vocalist for them we may take them. The second day of auds were very promising... The people were great.
Choon Wing pulled me aside, showed me "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" live and then later asked me to play "Behind Blue Eyes" for him. So I listened to the mp3 and just came up with the riff. And he was like... "This song rocks, and its super touching... Lets do an acoustic version the next time we perform for something." So its settled. Behind Blue Eyes, here I come!
Gabriel made me this once he found a couple of pipe cleaners stashed in the Jazz cupboard.
Thanks man...

RJGE
Monday was RJGE interviews as well (which explains why I was late for rock auds). I was part of the interviewing panel which was split up into 3 sections. Me and Shaun, Hyqel and Michelle, and Tiong and Ming Fang. So we asked people pretty straightforward questions, and a couple of random ones... Like... "If the ship we all were on was about to sink, and one person had to be thrown off, who would you choose?" Yup so in the end we decided on a total of 40 something people that made it through inteviews. Looking forward to seeing them on Monday! (Ouch which means I have to run back and forth from rock to guitar again)

Wednesday there was prac as well, and it was pretty productive for everyone as a whole. Cos I could see that they'd improved quite a bit since I last saw them a long long time ago. Looking forward to playing the new piece! Section 1 pls practise your runs more... Section 3, good job on the quituplets and sextuplets. Keep it up section 2 and 4!

S03H
Recieved the awesome news that the RI canteen was back in business! So on the first day it opened, S03H rushed there for lunch and enjoyed it thoroughly. Kampung was back, and so was the chicken rice! Awesome. Too bad the noodles stall didn't come back. The old wanton mee rocked. So had my fill of the Kampung food. Mie, Charissa, Mel and Mich decided to come with us to see what the canteen food was like, and they were super impressed. At least thats what Charissa told me while we were playing bridge after school.
Some of us griped that the standards were lower, but I think inside we were pretty glad that we finally could have something much better than the RJ canteen food. Discovered that Kevin has this weird liking for the apple kiwi juice bought from the vending machine. He has such weird taste haha. Leonard was disturbing him because of it.
Explored the new canteen building for awhile. There were a couple of new rooms on the second and third floor. CCA rooms I think. And I found the prefects room as well. The new artificial turf looks so good... As soon as its open I wanna play soccer there!
