Hey guys, what's up! (: I am leaving for Batam tomorrow, so I figured I'll take a quick update today while I am preparing for my trip.

My event on Saturday was quite watered down by the rain. The UNIFEM event was very lethargic and hard to keep the energy level up. We had some pretty good bands like Ashdown, Run Neon Tiger, Fastforward to Friday and the debut of Outcome of the Party. Some pics:



Run Neon Tiger...might have an appearance in Baybeats. (:



Outcome of the Party, I think the lead singer was quite good.

It was my first out of school event. I would say I did quite badly cuz I didn't have any support and I was super nervous. But I will not let anyone put me down *ahem* just cuz they are affiliated to the organizers *ahem*. (: But I feel quite good, at least I made a new contact for sound systems and got some great music. Hmm...wonder abt payment...oh well, that's secondary.

On Sunday I went to church...I felt holier than thou. XD Kidding, I realised how powerful applied theatre really is. That coupled with the constant message that obedience is good, leads to a pretty potent formula for a religion where people genuinely believe that they are part of a greater cause.Well, at least with CHC, even such mindlessness is in a good light as long as the right values are imparted. I'll give the church credit for mastering the use of applied theatre over the 18th Century of a Romantic ideal and the last 20th Century with the modernistic viewpoint. However, I am not convinced, as a post-modernist, that the church is fully relevant to the world today. Its still the church against secular culture...:/ Shouldn't be.

Today we had Gen-Y Leadership camp briefing...-.- Awkward and boring.
Then FOC meeting...plus clean up.

NOW I NEED TO PACK MY BAG FOR GEN-Y. THANKS FOR GIVING US THE PACK LIST A DAY BEFORE CAMP. OMG.


Here is a tune to end on a good note. (: I love bittersweet lyrics.

Sometimes the best is not that far away after all. Treasure what you have and love the little things around you.
