at the backstage with livi san, plus the phamtom. *gasps*
when everything ended, nearing 11pm. shirls was playing with her purple hair extension, i was zonked.
while walking out with shirls to go home, met nicole ang who grabbed me and snapped a picture together. (ps. nicole, thanks for all the encouragement you gave. i was so blessed.)a recap of the weekend:
thursday 13 sep
hope bangkok team touched down at airport and the whole lot of us namely ps LO, pat, gwen, eugene, ah long, roys and i went to welcome them.
friday 14 sep
met ruiz to go to downtown east together and anniversary rehearsal till night time.
saturday 15 sep
started with a good breakfast at macs with eugene, justin and roys before we headed to marquee for rehearsal at 9am. throughout the two services, i was running almost everywhere at the backstage. i managed to catch glimpses of stage performers doing make-up at the foyer. i met wynnie doing makeup on one of the stage performers. wow! i was happy to see her involved too! during the second anniversary service, the praise and worship was electrifying! there was so much burst of spontaneous praise and worship led by our hope bangkok team! i prayed and hope to see more of this in the youth services too! :) woww!
sunday 16 sep
auto- switched gears from anniversary's stage managing to jump's hospitality. hehe. upon reaching nexus, emma's surprise hug warmed me up. i was touched by her care. attended ps Prayuth's teachings in the morning. one main thing struck my mind- the quality of a stage minister's life is so so so important. better to have one musical instrument whose musician's life is close to God than having the whole band whom players' lives are not fully for God. direct truth, yet it is real love in truth. it reminded me of my service unto God, it gotta not only be of excellent service, but also of excellent attitude and motives. my day ended with more phonecalls of coordinating the accomodation for the hope bangkok team.
monday 17 sep
slept in abit due to the headache on previous night. tried to study for my test before heading down to TCT for jump concert. went for avocado drinks with pat, gerald, wendy and the bangkok team. what a unique drink. it was my first time doing sales on tee shirts. it was fun doing with pat and veron. geoffery joined in later. went to meet eevoon and the rest of my caregroup to buy dinner for the jump committee.
JUMP JUMP JUMP! :) the concert began and woww... i was so ministered by the first worship song led by tony. a simple song reminded me that i want to serve God till the end.
"my heart will bow down to you
be exalted my Lord
you are the rock that i'm leaning on
my only hope is in you
i will sing for you to love and adore you
i put my trust in you
i want to know you more each day
serve you my Lord till the end"
my day ended with supper at 126 with eugene, esmond, roys and mei. so nice! :)
tuesday 17 sep
met hope bangkok team for breakfast and i got to know that john also enjoyed japanese animation like hunter x hunter and bleach! anime rocks! :) brought them to alby warehouse after that and we ended our shopping with lunch in PS, ajisen, pastamania and kfc (apparently john's favorite and tony likes it too!).
through these five days, i was thankful to know chin, maria, tony and jerry more. it was sweet of chin and maria to give me a candle gift and a purse gift. i'm so blessed that i'm part of hope international wam ministry.
