Jingle Bells...

9 more days into December! And then it's Christmas time again... how fast time flies... This year the Youth Ministry isn't going to hold its own Christmas celebration as most of us in the committee are busy being involved in our church's Chrismas Service. Unlike previous years where I was always singing or acting or being the secretary, this year I "luckily" get the role to handle multimedia with one of the senior. With my limited knowledge on this field, I have to communicate a lot with the senior and also trying to find out more from the net (@_@). It's not gonna be easy, but it's always interesting to face a new challenge (^__^). We plan to start the cabling the night of Dec 23 after the night service, hopefully it will be done on Dec 24 evening, but we have to be in church on Christmas Day at 7am in the morning as the service starts at 9:30am. I'm thinking of getting aroom in ahotel nearby as there is no way I'm going home late & leave very early, would be too troublesome.

And I just found these pics last week! It's from last year's Youth Ministry Christmas, it was awesome! The theme was "White Christmas in Japan", we decorated our church with white cloth, paper lanterns & twigs... it was great. But the main attraction was the drama... we made a set of Japanese house on the stage, and we even made trailers that we aired every week in Sunday service to promote the program! If you see the pics, I played the role of an evil stepmother, Lady Maruka. Somehow, I always got this kinda role since I was in Sunday School hahaha Do I look that evil?

I bought the pink yukata for myself, the others were borrowed. The guys were wearing my father's yukata & happi. I had to ask my mom to search his entire closet to find those. The guy playing my husband wore the white/blue yukata while the guy playing the maid wore happi. The make up artist was late to so we girls had to do the make up on our own. They guys were hopeless, they did the make up on the last minute. Too bad I can't find better pics that could show the entire decoration and part of the drama.

It was a great celebration. We got to do something different & our pastor was also satisfied with the drama. The message that we were trying to show in the drama was FORGIVENESS. Oh, I also made a blunder. A few seconds before we enter the stage for the 1st scene, the soundman informed us that the PC that has our music score & naration was crashed, so the musicians had to do it live including the naration. The moment we entered the stage, my mind went blank! I just sat there and looked at the other player and said nothing. My mind was completely blank! hahahaha There was supposed some music playing and at a certain drum rolls I had to start my line. Hearing that the recording was crashed and the musicians were playing a totally different tune, I was clueless. I was saved by my "daughter", she took one good look at me and she knew I was lost, so she started with my line. As soon as I heard her, the scenario was back in my head and there was no more mistake until the drama ended v(^0^)v
