Youth Sunday!The first service was disastrous! I was getting ready to play "Who Am I", when I heard Lynn's last words - In Christ Alone - so I thought that "In Christ Alone" came first, and I played the intro for it only to realise that she intended to sing "Who Am I"! So I panicked, spent like forever looking for the chords... and there is this ominous silence as the flustered pianist searches for the chords of the song. Oh how I wished the carpeted ground below me would open up obligingly and swallow me, grand piano and all. My bumbility did not end there. I think my intro for "In Christ Alone" was too obscure, so it didn't really lead the congregration in properly - should have rectified it! And "Hosanna" didn't sound very tight with the band... the congregration was lagging quite a bit behind the drums.
The second service was comparatively much much much better... now that we had gone through all the mistakes with the first service -.- Haha. Which is WHY people like Auntie Corrinne and Aunty Ern Chi can come up and tell me it wasn't bad, oh if ONLY they were around for the first service... they would be coming up to kill me! But I guess like what WX says, musicians shouldn't focus too much on all the small technical stuff and forget who we're worshipping - GOD! <3
Oh I had the chance to talk to Deborahhh today! *HUGS* Stop going for camps and go out with me!
Then I carried Gavriel!!!!!! He is SO SMALL SO CUTE SO FRAGILE I wish he was a bit more solid so I can hug him more properly! JEALOUS of Gaius who kisses him openly in front of me!!! WHy don't I have a baby brother! And Yien thought he was shitting because he was making constipated squeaks so we brought him to Pastor Kien Seng's office only to find that he probably farted or something which would explain the stink hmmmm.
Children's choir... my parents forgot to bring my flute so I basically teased the kids haha. Not very helpful... especially when I was nodding off.. I almost fell off the cupboard ledge haha! And the kids saw me.. which wasn't exactly the most flattering thing a teacher/helper can do.
Puppet practice!!! I was so tired by then, my puppet hardly had any energy to cry or talk or sing and I realise all the monsters more or less sing OUT OF TUNE so Teacher Beng Choo is really worried about it and asking me to do something about it but I'm not a music teacher how can I make (tonedeaf) people sing in tune?! Okay I think the girls like Minwei and Hannah are okay, but the guys are a totally different matter...
It was raining Veras and koalas by then... but I still went down to Far East to meet WanXiang to buy a jacket! Haha. Half my pants was soaked by then and WX does NOT take good care of her guitar!!! HAHA! If you see this TAKE NOTE! We just walked about and talked a lot of random stuff haha I think we all need these sporadic periods of pure randomness in our lives. I didn't get a jacket though : ( yeah WX I'm too picky haha! Then dinner at Raffles City which was funny because the dinner topic was SO not appropriate for our appetites... and WX is so hilarious! She drank the drink halfway, then stopped and offered it to me okay it doesnt sound amusing here but it was at that point of time. Long... LONG bus ride home... it's like the third night in a row that I've gone home with her haha. 970 yay!
Wow this post is long and ranty. I don't usually blog like this... but I just have an urge to do so today. For people who complain that I don't blog enough about my daily life! But it's my first time playing in Youth Sunday so it's quite important to me. :)
