KL Mission Trip

Hey all, i’m back from KL mission trip. It was really an awesome trip for me and i truly enjoyed myself there! :) With the many weeks of practices, workshops and recordings, our hard work is well paid off! Pst Kong was supposed to be preaching in the 3 services at CHCKL but cos Sun was very sick, he has postponed the trip to May.

We had some interesting “hiccups” on the way there like at 7pm on Thur night, the trip was said to be cancelled. But we still carried on with our practices and recording, and at 10pm that night, MD had a call and the trip will still be on. However when we reached KL, we got yet another call to say that PK isn’t coming cos he’s gotta go attend to Sun and we were still waiting for instructions if the team is going to stay or go back. Unfortunately, the tech crew had to return back immediately cos they were needed for the weekend (i feel kinda sorry for Weixiang man) and the drama team had to return the very next day at 10am. However, the beloved pnw team could stay behind and continue with the 3 services held on Sat and Sun.

It was interesting because the musicians had a mean joke about a gong-tao that worked yet didn’t work cos he ate his own “offering”. OMG.


Haha, we’ve a couple in our midst. HAHAHAHA!!! Suhui likes it.

On the trip, we had really good bonding time with each other; getting to know one another better and learning to play together with each other. I love my band. I think we get together REALLY well and i officially name ourselves the YEAMS team proudly. HAhahaha! Not being exclusive, we’ve included the singers in on the last day at the last few hours of our trips back. We huddled together at the back of the coach and listened to each other sharing their experiences with the other spiritual world aka telling ghost stories. We created a good atmosphere cos all the lights were off and we only had the night lights of the streets to accompany us. At the end of the many conversations shared, DY ended with “the power of the blood of Jesus covers us” and “He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world.” It sounds so much like a cgm. :) Though we’re pretty much FON, we are still spiritual people and i like the liberty and freedom of such experiences and expressions that we are allowed to be ourselves yet, knowing the fact that being spiritual is important - not flaky.


So we had Jessel playing around with reptiles. Yucks! But he kinda look like he likes it.


We had good fish spa and the BOYS like it but not me. I tried it and i HATE it. HAHA!!!


YUCKS!!!!


Look at his happy face…


And his happy feet…..


They are OBVIOUSLY loving it!!!

Throughout the trip, i took very good care of my brother and my best friend’s boyfriend. HAHAHAHA that i almost got whacked when i introduced WS as W. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! :) I’m so proud of myself. HAHAH!!!!


Look, they are so well fed and are STRONG and MIGHTY. Cos we sang “The church He knows…. is strong and mighty…..” Instant impact.

Well, best of all was learning that DY really took great care of the team and we do work together as a unit. I love my singers and my musicians and i thank God for the great opportunity to work together and serve each other and Him together. It was a very pleasant trip and i guess, among all my previous mission trips, this is the most happening one cos of the good fellowship and bonding we had with each other.


We’re missing WS, JY and DY.

AND, i finally finally FINALLY after a great long time, understood how to play together in a band. And that’s a great job well done. I did K1 and K2 and i realised being versatile and knowing what these 2 kbs are doing is very very and EXTREMELY important. I had all my sound effects ready and prepared to play both at their very crucial time. Thanks to Cheryl (JH’s gf) who managed to change the settings, i got all my sounds laid out perfectly well and saved it too. OH yeah, am so proud of it.


Oh Yeah! So is Jia Hao!!! Hahah!!!

So, with these happening people on board the trip, i created a new song for Adi to sing and that’s SHOUT SHOUT SHOUT it out Jesus…….. SCREAM SCREAM SCREAM it out Jesus…. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Hahaha…

That reminds me that because of the fear of embarrassment, which i’ve experienced during the trip for one song, i will WORK towards perfection of making sure all my important parts and licks and rifts are CORRECT and PERFECT. That’s very important.

So well, to the whole team of 17 of us. THUMBS UP for you! We’ll pretty much be seeing each other again this week for PM and SOT if you guys are singing.


:) Cheers to the YEAMS band!!!
