Meaning For Singing Easter

hello....
i have been indulging on this question, 'Whats my meaning of singing easter this year?'
i had a talk with some of the ''older'' people who is gonna sing for easter. they taught me a lot through their lives and leading as an example.
then i remember about the point that pastor taught during conference 2006. is that if u have no meaning in singing these songs, it means nothing, and the song is nothing.

then i remember that there was once the youth choir was singing 'Lord, I Lift Your Name On High'. the youth choir was singing with the music. and suddenly something went wrong with the player, but the choir sang as though the music didn stop. and they kept on singing. then they realised that the music stop. and they also stop. haha.
and its because they were so in into the sing, so in into their meaning of singing the song.
so whats our reason for singing then?
for me, i want to sing because i want to share God's love to the people who attend the concert. and to also be a testament to others. :)

so... singers, what's your meaning of singing this easter?

PERTH DAY 10 (LAST DAY!!! HSH)

Its that last day. Yeah!!! I am back home now, if not how can i post rite?

What happens today is a wreck of the trip that makes the whole 10 days into a shit!

In the morning, both my dad and i were well prepared to start to move out of the hotel, and then eat breakfast with uncle terrence and then go to church le.
But then, something happen.
My dad went to the car to put the luggages in the car. He opened the door and put some small stuff at the front seat. He left the key at the keyhole. Then he slammed the door. Rather, in nice terms, he closed the door. And the metal thing to off the sensor burst and lost. And that makes it that we cannot drive the car to church, cannot take our stuff to church, cannot put the car in church. Which is a big matter!

So my dad called uncle andru, and uncle andru gave us this shun and started complaining why give him this kind of things to do. Killer because of his mouth. But that doesn matter. He is a nice guy though, coz he gave birth to nice kids.

Then we took a cab with uncle terrence. The travelling fee from Ambassador to churh is 15 bucks AUSSIE!!! Which is like less that a 10 mins drive la!!!

Then we got church, we settled down. Then just nice, auntie chris and uncle andru came. So my dad went to talk to uncle andru about this thing. Then he say he not free to do these. So we say ok lorh, we ask others to do. Then we find uncle gerarld to help us do lorh. And then uncle henry chip in also. Because he know a mechanic who can do that. Then uncle gerarld can drive off the car back to his place and put there. So we ok ok lorh. We anything anyway.

So, after the service, they had a fellowship lunch. Which is kinda more of a weird thing from what we do in Bethany. Everytime, in Bethany, the cooks will cook, unless its some super small thing than the commitee would buy food or prepare easy stuff. But this fellowship lunch is everyone chip in to bring food to share food and eat them together. Cool eh?

So we hurry need to rush back to the hotel to get our luggage, because somebody gonna fetch us. We had uncle wong to fetch us back. Nice car he have. On the way back, my dad forgot about the key, car key. He gave it to uncle henry! So how are we gonna take our stuff?!
Then we have to u-turn back. late le lorh.
So we get the key and then we hurry rush to get the luggage. Sickening driver. Rush rush rush. make my shirt spoil le.

That was the second thing that made the trip wrecked.
Then like that check-in le. And flew off after meeting the others. Pastor and auntie sally fly tmr.

Alrightie. Sleep sleep. tonight very stressful at the plane. CANNOT SLEEP AGAIN! ->bright sun.

PERTH DAY 9

Its Saturday, so fast!!! TOMMOROW GOING HOME!!!
SOOOOOOoooOOOOOOooooooo EARLY!

Didn't do much today actually. I spent some time do some packing so today would be lighter for me la.
Uncle Gerard and Camy came to find us arh.... We went for dim sum... NO GOOD DIM SUM! But i still ate la. My dad took the reciept and pay before they could react. LOL!!!
Then we went to Camy's working place, at the jetty there, near the bell tower. Beautiful skies!
After that, we went around lorh... nothing to do. Went to Aunty Chris place to pack my sister's things and get back the computer. And then went to Aunty SeeToh's place, who is Uncle Gerard's sister i think.....
Then we hurry rush back to the city, the this place call the Old Swan Bewery. There are 3 restaurants there. We ate the Western one. GOODIE!!! Very good food. We ate from 5 to 9!!! SIAOZ! And we took a group photo. There was a total of 13 Singaporeans there. Its a very romantic and beautiful place la.

Aiya.... now i packing la.... Tmr leave after church. Flight at 4 plus singapore time... abt 5...

PERTH DAY 8

Its the big day today! Friday, 26 January '07.
The big day that Chris is gonna be installed.
And it's Australian Day.

Eventhough i slept kinda late, but i made the effort to actually wake up early to go to auntie mary's place for breakfast with the other Bethany team who came. Not all i mean.... We had a lot of joke during the breakfast. Auntie Sally was mean for once, to her own good friend. Or maybe she was always mean towards her own good friend, because they know her well enough. Like they were saying that Uncle Winston is an ancient pharasee, yet live in a mordern world. And he doesn't know how to operate the water heater to dispose the water, and yet he say that the water have to be cleared if not algaes will grow in there. Haha...
Then, off we went to church, help out to prepare food and place for the installation. Chris was so happy, the Singapore team so supports him, I went to peel prawns. Ewww... blood all over my fingers... not the shells, but the head. Then after peeling, we had lunch. Lebanese food. Its Australian day, and Perth is the only mad city that doesn't open their shops during holidays, just to celebrate. So we had trouble looking for food lorh. So, they went somewhere, anything that is open, to buy food. And brought back tons of food to eat, Lebanese food.
After lunch, of course help to clean lah.... how to be so evil to let the aunties clean leh?
So clean le, the aunties went back to hotel to bathe, rest and come back to church at 5. When i want to look for my dad, he went missing!!! Aiyo!
Then i remember, he went back to the city, to get cleaned, and then go with Uncle Daniel to go to the airport to fetch tr. Peng hui and Uncle Terrence.
So i was tired, and i went into the playroom, to find Uncle George and Uncle Victor there worh.... No matter how weird it is to share a room with two old grown man, i still need the aircon and rest. They were reading. So i sat at one end of the couch and fall asleep. Uncle George say that, come and sleep can, but expect some symphony going on later. LOL!!! Anyway, it was 41 degrees outside. KILLER!!!
Soon after, i told Uncle George i want to lie down. Being a man, he gave me the whole couch to lie on. So man right?! Then i lied down, wanting to go back to sleep. Then i realize, Uncle George sat on the matteress, put down his book after a minute or so, then he lied down too. Then i close my eyes. Next minute i heared, is his symphony!!! Wahahahahaha!!! Goodness! I tried to sleep again. But it took me about 5 minutes to get back to sleep.
Someone then came and off the aircon!!! Must be Uncle Victor, coz i think i took his blanket, so it was cold for him. Then i felt it was hot. Until bua-ta-han le, i woke up and went to clean myself up and prepare for the night's programme.
Chris was all well prepared, all-ready. Smiling at me, saying hi. I was happy for him, for the church, for the people.
Then the church start to be filled. Slowly, the Singaporean team strolls in into the church, all prepared for the service. So is tr. Peng Hui and also Uncle Terence. They finally caught onto the plane. All together, 22 people from the Bethany team has come together! All behind Chris for him!
During the service, Chris cried, tears of joy. Well, we somehow cried too, happy for him mah!
The Singapore side, Bethany in Singapore, watched over the webcam. It wasn't very steady la. So it was quite bad. But i know that Chris still appreciate it one in another way.
Well, all things come to an end. The sevice ended. Some are leaving, to go back to Singapore. Pastor Mitch, Mark, Uncle Jacob, Uncle George and many many more.
There was a barrier at the City, so we couldn leave. It was Australian Day mah! Then we stay in church lorh. Then i was standing with some Uncle and Aunties, together with baby Lauren, Nick, and Sook Yee. Then we asked Nick for coke. I was dying to have one. The bottle of coke is smaller than ours, and also expensive. Its 2 bucks arh! But Nick works in coca-cola. So all the F&N drinks he could take for free. So he gave us the Coke Zero. Ok la. Not as bad as the low sugar one. Well, we dared him to give it to Pastor, see if Pastor drinks it.
He really give worh! So is Auntie Sally! And Pastor drank coke!!! Aiyo! Everyone was taking pictures of him drinking. haha!!! But its kinda weird. Its not really the Singapore people are taking. But the Aussies are! Coz, its like we always see pastor, we know what he likes and dun likes, and he dun drink coke de mah. But the Aussies dun really see him as often de la. But they seem more excited than we are worh. haha!!!
After everything arh, still can go where la.... Of coz come back to hotel la, together with Uncle Terrence, and tr.Peng Hui.
Weird leh... where's my dad. He actually dumped me and went for supper with Uncle Gerard and Camy worh! Me leh? Not the eating part la... But i want to talk to Camy la......
Such an irritating father....

Oh well, sleep le lah. Dun wait for him le! So long still haven't come back.
....arh! There is the knock.....
