yesterday was a really fun sunday! perfect ending of the first week before the stress starts to settle in like some deadly poison. service yesterday was really good too :D it's like everything we sing, hear or pray about serves as a daily reminder to us for the rest of the week. and i loved the offering song! In Christ Alone :D the words were so meaningful, reminding us how much Jesus did for us and how we can stand in His power. the tune was stuck in my head throughout the entire emath period! and we had to make a pledge to bring two non-believers of backsliders to ym within 6 months. well i really hope i know what to say and what to do. yes my problem is small while my God is BIG!! :D and after eating pepperlunch and having starbucks, we were at the arcade till my mummy finally came to pick me up after visiting this chubby two day old baby. hahaha
well anyway yes the arena experience!! that was really quite cool afterall, even though they cheated us.. haha they said it would end at 8 and it ended at like 930 or something! i stayed up till like 12 to do my homework yesterday..
we waited around for about one hour before they finally decided to let us into the studio. and meanwhile we just discussed the cheers and took loads of pics :D haha i'll never forget all the funny actions we came up with! the studio was actually quite small but somehow they make it look rather big on tv. then the place was decorated to look like some medieval.. gladiator kinda arena with the 'stone' pillars and all. but to summarize the entire event, i have never screamed so much and so loudly before. it beats even all the camps i've been to. just that 3 hours there..gdness...
waiting around at the carpark :D mrs choo's daughter is there!
becky and chloe keep trying to be pests! hahah they look so retarded! before the debators (celine beu and rebecca!!! u guys were GREAT!!) came out in their outfits/costumes, they wanted to film us cheering first. so we did like 3 diff cheers before deciding the familiar old MG Warrior was the best = loudest. together with san, joey, becky, chloe, becs and char, we helped to lead the supporters into the cheers throughout the whole thing.. and we basically just screamed our guts out whenever the guy signalled for us to do so. which was ALOT. after a while it got quite funny cos when the guy signalled to cheer, we would start going HYSTERICAL.. and once he signalled to stop, everyone's face completely changed from ecstatic to.. 'oh goodness i serriously can't do this anymore' haha i dont know how to describe it but it was so funny how we had to scream and wail like nuts for the camera and then sighed and plonked ourselves back down onto the seats.
the studio the filming of the arena took place! :D
cheer. leaders! joey san becs char chloe me and becky! love u guys! :D
i sneakily took a pic of the judges! but im sure they saw me!! hahaha shucks
and i had this new found respect for the three debators. it's like usually celine and beulah can be such blur toads and so retarded sometimes :D hehe.. but that was my first time watching them at a real competition, and i was soooo IMPRESSED. they can react so fast to what the other schools were saying and they say it with so much conviction and power or something! it's a completely different and amazing side of them and i think everyone just loves watching the transformation everytime. i am so proud of the three of you!!! esp the part where the st. nics girl pretty much insulted everyone at the studio including her own supporters and beu told her to 'have some respect' for them. haha i LOVED that part! :D
and of course, we had a fun time entertaining ourselves during the breaks and all. i was so sure somebody was gonna come up to me and confiscate my camera or something. cos at the back of the ticket it said no photography allowed, and i was sneaking shots at the studio :D hehehe.. i got pics of the host adrian pang and the judges! though it's kinda blur ohwells :P well it was a great time showing our school spirit and love for all our mg team debators! it was simply FANTASTIC and a great experience being at the studio! and of course witnessing how scary the three of them can be once they go into their debate mode! hahaha :D
celine rebecca and beulah!! u guys rocked!! <3
