To Canada

Met Steven one last time before he leaves for Toronto in the afternoon today. It's sad to see him go. He has been our crew leader for the longest time. Maybe 8 years? It seems that all our crew leader eventually leave for places that are further and further. First Uncle Ker had to leave because he was posted to Ipoh, then Chun Wai had to leave for work in Philippines and now Steven is going to the super far Canada.

It's probably God's blessing for their faithfulness in serving that they receive such posting and job offers.
Gonna miss you Steven. Thank God for Whatsapp, we can still communicate! Hehe.

Thanks for the stuff that we sapu-ded from your house late at night :-p

180° Musical

16th - 18th July 2010
We haven't really done musical for a while now. I personally feel that this is one of DUMC's better production since The Peace Child. Maybe it's simply because I like musicals. It's a great combined effort by Punctuation together with a large number of youths in the team, singing, dancing and acting.

It was the first time we took EVERYTHING off the auditorium stage. Thanks to our media staff for efficiently labeling everything and some Men in Black's muscle help, we got it done pretty quickly. It was also the 1st time we used so many mics! A total of 12 headset mics (of 2 which were required swapping/shared), 1 wireless handheld and 7 wired handhelds. By God's grace, no clashing of signals! We had a 4 piece band off stage as well. *Whew* We ran 4 cameras with one on roaming, moving heads and 2 followspots. It's a pretty big team to pull this off but seriously, I serve with an AMAZING team. Such a great blessing from God. :)

Kah Wei & Zong Ming

17th July 2010
Kah Wei is one of my few schoolmates that I continued to keep in touch with for the past 12 years. When she told me she was getting married, I was certain that I would like to be there :-p

I thought I was going to have to choose between it and the 180 musical which is over the same weekend 16-18 July. It was a signing of certification of marriage and a lunch reception. Just that it is in Singapore! But somehow God made it possible. :) I prayed that God will enable me to juggle my time as I feel that it would really mean something to Kah Wei for some friends to be there. At the same time, I was really looking forward to this musical.

I managed to get a budget flight via Firefly to fly in from Subang in the morning and return late afternoon. Everything went on smoothly just as planned and thank God there was no delay. Tee Hui, Shin Hui and Wen Fue drove to Singapore the day before so I met them at the Studio M Hotel for breakfast and to hang out before getting a ride to the Mykii Cafe.

It was a simple and meaningful reception with close friends and family. Something different from the usual huge Chinese weddings. 3 course western/greek food in a nice cozy restaurant where the bride and groom actually have time for their guests and actually get to enjoy the food too! :)

Kah Wei & Zong Ming, congrats and thank you for sharing this very special day with me.

Only 8 Months

It has only been only 8 months since I bought my 1st phone but I bought a little computer today. I am blessed with one at an amazing price because I have been ranting a lot about not getting one. :-p

It's going to be a bit of work learning how to use this. :)
