Finally,all the practises paid off! H.Y.P.E 06 was a success! Yesterday,went early to church for practise,at 1 pm,but in the end,ended up spending 3 hours doing nothing,cause the whole system wasn't set up.Wasted our time there,and no last practise actually added all that extra stress and tension I already had.
It was no joke!Waiting for the event can be a nail-biting experience.It just adds on to the pressure and all.Managed to calm down and chill.Few of us then headed back to freshen up before an early dinner,and our final sound check.Sounded pretty okay.The music was really loud,just how I like it.
Started half an hour late because of the rain,but the party soon started at slightly over 7.The amount of people made it even harder to calm my nerves.Hmm,found another weakness.As a leader,showing your nervousness can be fatal.Gotta keep calm even when I'm feeling the pressure.
In the end,turned out that we did rather well.Haha,we had all the adults and mummy's and daddy's to support us! It was an awesome experience! To the Trailblazers,you guys rock! So proud of all of ya!It was definitely a night to remember,as well as our 1st stepping stone,to greater and bigger things to achieve!
Everyone's already asking,when's the next time we're gonna perform.Haha!Amazing stuff.I'm just sorry that none of my college friends turned up to support me.I'm so friggin disappointed to be honest!Not even a single 1!You guys totally let me down! =( Only had 1 friend who came,and I haven't seen him for a long time.Great to meet up with ya Elisha!
Basically,we chilled for the rest of the night.Sean came over to my place for a sleepover!Cool!Talked till 3am,woke up at 8am,and then had to serve today.Tiredness!Well,not to mention I've gotta do the recording for the radio programme tomorrow.Sigh...Stressfulness!Not in the mood to do anything at the moment.
What a weekend.But yeah,this is the start of something new,and the Trailblazers are gonna rock the youth of this generation!Hmm,here's some pics to end my lil post on my weekend.

Pastor Chris Long with the message! "Its Tell the World la,not Terrible,or Tamil!"
In the end,there were either peeps getting leg cramps,losing voices,or exausted to the point of lifelessness.It was worth it.Jumped for all my worth,and shouted like there was no tomorrow.Can't wait for H.Y.P.E. 2007! Yeah!
PS:Do send me the other pics that I don't have! Thanks!

A point where I achieved seventh heaven,went on the high end,and then plummeted helplessly towards the ground,as my mood swang from high,to low.Insane mood swings you might add,and all due to my tendency to worry about unnecessary matters and to think beyond what I should.
A really bad habit,that can be hazardous.Being emo adds oil to the fire.Killer mood swings.Realized that I gotta set myself in the right frame of mind,even when it seems impossible.Almost lost concentration this morning,just cause I was worried sick.Realized I had sinned later on,and apologize to my dear Daddy.
Gotta set my priorities right.Think straight.Focus on the current task at hand.Need to know exactly how to keep my cool when circumstances like this hit me!Hopefully I'll learn as time goes on.Till then,lets hope this thingy swings back the other way round.Its very tiring.
