Wah! So many things to say! So many FIRST THINGS happened today.
Well, today we finally presented the YT project to the congregation. Yupp, today was the day where I had to play the piano in the sanctuary. I'm telling you, there are no words to describe the experience. It feels so.. scary and yet honorable to be playing the piano for God and this is the one time that you really really don't want to screw up.
Haha in the end I still did. I think it was the bar before YT came in, and I played the note flat. Oh well, miao said that it sounded like I was changing key:) There was this part where I had to flip the page, but my hands were shaking, so I missed and then there was this period of silence where I was playing the melody from memory. Oops :x
Hmm I don't think I'll ever get the chance to play the piano in the sanctuary anymore.
After church, I went out for lunch with Ner, Mel, Rachel and Annajoy. It's my first time eating out with the choir gals as well. We went to the hawker centre above NTUC and had tomyam noodle soup. EYOUCH it was really hot and I don't know how Nerissa managed to eat the entire bowl. Nerissa, you're pro.
When we went back to church, I don't know what came over me but I said that I wanted to see what the church choir was like. Everyone said 'sure!' so I went up with them to the choir room. Initially, I meant to sit at the back and just listen, but Joanne asked me to sit up front with them, then Aunty Rebecca passed me a song sheet. Subconciously, I just started singing along. Their songs are really nice. Not stuffy hymnals, but cool songs with harmonization and lots of staccato.
I think I may want to join church choir!
But I don't think my mom will allow. She'll expect me to use my Sunday afternoon studying for the EYAs. Yeah actually, I'm really scared that if I commit to church choir, I may start skipping it when term 4 starts to mug for my exams. I don't want a repeat of the recre comm thing.
Will pray about it.
