Although i'm still an active little bouncing atom

Breezy Morning- Am suppose to be at school for choir warm up at 9 but due to the recent norm of never being in time, i reached at 9.40. We were slot into the program list of this semester's Contemporary Dance Competition just yesterday so the last minute decision did not register that deep. Anyhow, its a grateful opportunity to get ashamed and embarrassed in front of a sweating hyped up crowd so that we get the exposure of not being shy.

Well of course it wasn't suppose to be embarrassing but singing together for the first shot would normally end up imperfect. Which gives a reason to practice :)



Speaking of Contemporary Dance, think i've never mention about me joining it last year and doing quite well with the team :D


Always wanted to blog about it but did not have the mood to brag i guess. haha. We got second last year and i was even "wrongfully" chosen for best dancer nominee. What were the judges thinking?? haha.


But still, it was a great great experience of choreographing your own dance move, improving not just yourself but every person in the team from wood to silky smooth moving dancers. Bravo bravo :)

Practicing late at night with beauties of our team. And o yea, we were called "Laissez Faire"

sounds familiar? :P


me, pei pei, kim and Wei Jian the buff ><
And so, because i joined last year, i get the chance to perform again this year for the junior's competition. I forgot when did the idea of it came out but i knew instantly that i had to grab it. I know i'm incomparable to any dancing dudes that go down the floor with handstands and windmeel that sort but hey, i just love to dance :)

Practices went well, along with Wei Jian the buff, Crystal his stunning partner and Kah Hwee my partner who is half my height. (ok maybe a little been more than that) We tried all sort of stunts imaginable and yea, carrying girls ain't easy but its real fun XD from an innocent point of view mind you.

I guess its really true how performers have to sweat all their heart out during practices for just that few minutes in front of the crowd. Our dance performance passed just like any usual practice routine and its just.. passed! OMG. But we shouldn't really sighed on how short the performance lasted. Process matters than the end result really rings i suppose :)


After performing both in dance and singing (cheh!) i headed to church for worship practice. Did you know that singing praise and worship songs no longer stays as just singing when you become a Chrisitian? You have the ability to soul out the lyrics and get connected with God through singing/worshiping. Songs no longer stays as songs but a true love offer to God. and having God as your audience, you gotta know He really adores you're singing :)

I guess i have to always renew my prespective towards serving in church as i'm easily drag down to the thought of performing instead of ministering. Minister means service, which means i'm servicing in church for the congregation, leading people into the intimade encounter of worshiping God. I'm glad that the church constantly reminds us on the correct attitude towards serving in the worship team. Gosh i've learnt a lot.


Am hoping to get a copy of the dance video and post it up here, if you have the slightest interest of seing a lamp post moving around in tempo that is XD Tomorrow will be another full day with 2 church services and choir but, it will definitely not be "just another Sunday", but another wonderful Sunday with high expectations and blessings.

Love ya Jesus :)

weee~~~ our church is launching a dance ministry this year, so i really can understand the sweat and effort that u hv to put in just for a few minutes in front of the crowd.. but we're serving the living God, and every steps and moves we perform is unto Him :)

and yea, worship is a lifestyle, it's no longer as simple as just singing songs and lifting up both our hands to praise Him.. Our lives have to be a worship to Him as well, as we ourselves are living sacrifices to God.. ;)

i joined the worship team in my church too!! and it is certainly an awesome experience to be part of the team ushering in God's presence ^^
