The Family

There was only one month left when we prepared the presentations for 2 very important events...

Hope Malacca 10th Anniversary and 4th Church Camp

The bulletins to the booklets; the multimedia slides to the props; the booking for accommodations to the transport arrangements... I can't figure out how God work in every one of us. Honestly, things didn't go well before the event. I was supposed to be in the sketch as one of the main actor, but I withdrew (many others did as well) because I can't memorize scripts. Ok lar, I AM BAD IN ACTING, that's the fact. I always thought that I'd embarrass myself on stage. I always feel cold once I got ready by the stage. Even just for a short while on the first scene. See? How to be an actor...?

We had a lot of things to do. And there are so many stumbling blocks on the way. The previous Hand Mimes practices were really good. But during the final rehearsal, the world was not round; some of us have forgotten some parts, the love isn't beautiful... I realized that there are some mistakes. I don't know how they happened. Sis Pai Chet was frustrated. I almost cried. The sketch wasn't great and some actors still don't know when or what to say. So many problems happened on the special day...

But I am thankful because the team from Hope Singapore (who pioneer Hope Malacca at the initial state) was smiling during the sketch and hand mimes. I could see bro Jameson laughing out loud during the multimedia presentation which earlier faced some technical problems. The files couldn't open... OMG! I was terrified. Luckily, David Junior has the back up but those were the half done presentations. So, for the rest of the presentation, they spent a few minutes to prepare the clips they were all fine during the practices. When the Africans sang "We Believe", it's not aligned with the music that was playing. I noticed that Sis Ireen wasn't happy.

I was moody during the 3 days camp. Sometimes I am happy; the other times I am a bit sad or frustrated. I realized that whatever I hoped for to take place during the camp, they did not happen. I was so upset and I skipped some of my meals because of that.

Anyway, all ended well. It was great. Despite all the bad things we went through, all of us stay united and submitted ourselves to those appointed by God to lead us.
