Ministry, Stage, Project, Miracle

Okay, the long awaited post on my stage experience. this is my 2nd/3rd time. cant rem, cus e last time i did stage was like eons ago haha.

basically..e most stressed moment is the soundcheck lol. the main service was surprisingly quite 'quiet' lol. for e stage guys that is..except for shure 3 (ps kong) that was powerlocked and some other mics with low batt and not tested.

yes..soundcheck the stress is there. partly cus in the main service, i know God wont screw His own service so at least i got that assurance haha. well..during SC, basically people were late and everything clashed..so didnt really have time to test video. its like..ure e new guy. and either they feel ure not ready or what, it seems for a moment..

the musos were more 'familiar' with the more senior crew, and ure just standing there, hoping that someone would turn to you to ask for something. mebbe bcus im new so they feel withheld to ask me to do anything..but eventually..things became better..yea.

then there were times i comms nobody responded..etc. mebbe they too busy or e comms guy didnt catch my message, or..my mic on my headset was faulty. :s but overall, service went quite smoothly. a few mistakes..i was nervous and i almost went up the stage by the sides when ps aries was leading pre-svc PM..lol..luckily someone dragged my back before its too late :s

also..i keep on misplacing 'monitors' with 'IEM' while speaking on comms..during soundcheck..i got them all mixed up..cus i was ganchiong haha. =/ another mistake was i was supposed to remove the mic stand..so i was like..remove the mic or remove the whole stand..

so i went up..then hesitated..then went down, asked..then go up again. :x must be more confident and more decisive. know what you want..and go and do it. get everything clear before you make a move. last mistake was during testimony..ps derek was there..keyboardist grace was still playing..i stood by her. and practically noone else was on e stage standing except me, grace and pastor..

and someone comms me..and i turned and looked to the sides..and i was fidgety..and they were like.."andrew, dont move so much..look straight..". :S with only 3 ppl on stage..my 'swaying' movement could have caught alot of attention and caused distraction during testimony..

i know im a crazy retard on youtube..but i dont have to bring that persona with me onto stage. lol. ill get whacked upside down man. =/

after ministry had a casual chat. Suraj is taking over sound and lighting atm cus henry is with Sun overseas. and he's like in charge of the chief operations of the church and knows pastor kong since the earliest days.

he's a very friendly guy and when he speaks, its as if ps kong was speaking :o im really inspired by this man. and so..in e effort to get to know us better..he met me today..cus my name started with an 'A' so he picked me first..sat down after debrief..after we packed up..and had a short casual chat..

i learnt i have IT literate people and programmers in my ministry to seek help from for my IHP, i realised ps derek and his usher friends will chiong online gaming haha..and i realised all the ICs in my ministry..which are mostly sisters..all are hardcore gamers LOL!

revelation! hahaha. he looked at me and while we were chatting..something hit me..this phrase.."OCS". gosh..first 5 celgrps..now OCS..gosh..dear God..lol :O if God were to reveal your future to you..you might not take it..lol.

im tired..and slightly physically sick and unwell. :S tomorrow submission of checkpoint 1..storyboard left!!! graah. oh ya..remembered the time i blogged about me missing the lecture and the lecture notes with all the blanks? haha.

last week during the tutorial, he was going through week 1's work! i was like PHEW!!! so you have not started week 2's notes yet! haha..hang ah..or at most he started..but only scratched e surface..tomorrow cant afford to miss lecture :x
