My photography skills came out of hiding again abit today. ahha.. Cos Joel was there early and pretty much handled the entire day today. I’m so thankful for him.

Oh well, going to get up at 415 to get the van and drive to airport so I can get it to church after. Shall shower and wash up while the photos upload. I’m particularly proud of some of them. Today was a nice day for photos. Some are in uncle buck’s flickr too cos I used his nice 50mm prime to shoot a few photos. Links come when Its done.

John 10:28

I had a good long sleep. I feel my entire body aching like crazy.

When you first believed in christ his blood alone could save
But do you now believe that he will help you run the race..

These 2 lines really encouraged me the last 2 days. Internally I felt like I was out of control. In the last 10hours I’ve found out that many other felt like this too in their own weird ways. Stagefright, feelings of uselessness, sin and general dumpy feelings are just some of the things. About 5 hours ago God’s divine appointment with me and some cantata goers allowed me to share with someone the gospel. And it was God who did all the saving. I mean, I didn’t even need to talk to him, he was like “I want to believe”. I was only talking cos I was talking to his friends. This guy came with a heart ready to receive Christ and it took nothing on my part to reap the harvest. Interesting how the Lord works. This little thing also encouraged me cos I was feeling abit off after the entire cantata. Like.. I just very switched off and ready to go home. Din really want to see anyone and just hide in the control room until everyone went off kinda thing. I hate the awkwardness of talking to friends after this kinda thing. Yet, these are the very people that should be first in our minds. I shall gather my thoughts some other time. I can’t describe how or why it did encourage me. Its like, an appointment I was just around to meet. A year of slogging for this one thing. Good night then!

I need one of these for christmas!

Being in the control room, it can be tough and pressurising sometimes. The expectations of us are so high. This is why we must be serious and focused during the cantata. This is a picture of my work area and here are some notes on it.

Don’t let the drawings fool you, its all important! KW can’t find the “Mute/Cut” button everytime (Thats why the phone sfx keeps going on after the actor picks it up) so I had to mark it out with glow in the dark tape.

Ming Yong is the superly important light man. In this picture he’s actually giving a secret eye signal to the light people outside. Also, the finger points to the ones he wants to turn on and off. The board below is operated by his toes, hence the high chair he needs to sit on.

Here kok wing is pretending to be important and more serious than us. We’re already so serious, he purposely wants to make us look bad.

Kok Wing pretending some more

It gets cramped in the control room too. Here is a picture of me stretching over kok wing just to turn up the choir mics. Ming Yong is giving more secret eye signals. With the additional light under the face the same signals can mean different things.

My view..

I hope this helps everyone to realise how stressed and terribly busy we are in the control room. Continue to feed us with sweets and munchy things and be nice to us. Here are the rest of the photos kthxbye.

Oh man! Anyone remember this????

then wait till you see this!

WAHAHAHA…

I was browsing an aquaintence’s blog when i stumbled on this post. If you’re not 18 and above don’t bother.. you won’t remember anything! haha..

My blog’s lost weight.. I shall devote some time to fixing it soon.

I finally get to do a proper photodump! with all the thumbnails thanks to a new plugin I just started using. Enjoy!

Have you been tanning in the word? wah, not easy la. I’m packing my room up and keeping the sofa empty.. so I can sit there and read. I’ve to finish Joshua cos I ticked the “can you commit to reading…” question true in the FBI test.

I had a rough time at cantata prac yesterday. Haha.. no la, more accurately, I gave people a rough time at cantata yesterday. And I found out I wasn’t the only one with so much irritation and “want to give up and walk out” kind of mentality. It was such a mess that I was getting mad. In the end everything I used Joel as my proxy to say things. The troubles are relentless.. and I don’t want to give in to the flesh every time. Lidat how to share gospel on that day?

One more thing is I noticed how Edwin the previous guy we hired didn’t have to say anything or do anything for people to listen to him. Is it cos he’s paid? haha.. Or maybe he didn’t want to fix things he saw as a problem cos he knows the undiscerning ear can’t hear it anyway, why should he bother with it and make himself look bad?

Sometimes I think arranging people around, turning this and that up/down wanting this to sound like that more.. in the end its all in the mind. Sometimes, after playing merry go round with the settings, I return to what I set it as before and the hearer goes “okay! great! that sounds good!” like.. lol.. And its happened more than once loh.

Oh well.. I’m going off to send stuff to my bro, buy some christmas stuffs and just go out with YX a while.
