# Pick It Up - 2
Life has been super busy. This is a weekend of busyness. Busy is now spelled s-a-t-u-r-d-a-y or s-u-n-d-a-y. But it’s been nice, or rather tiringly fulfilling.
Saturday
Morning started off with the usual tuition. Once again I was late. I have been late so many times I feel I should be fired already. But anyway, took 31 down and marked GP essays on the way. Taught tuition and hurried down to church for my first ever music prac! I was late once again and didn’t even have lunch. Reached there at 1.30 instead of 1.00 and the only people who were there were Vanessa, Meredith and ShuJing. I was like… so much for being late… and even worse, the rest came with their lunch… Macs lunch summore. And to my classes, its spelled McDonald’s not MacDonald’s or anything along those wrong lines. Yeah, GP essay marking sickness still manifesting its symptoms.
Soon, we started our prac after a long wait. I think it was like 2.30. Sigh, but I was still excited as it was my first prac. Got the chords from the Chord King(s) and had no where to write the chords down, so I used my GP journal. Haha. My first page now has the chords of Evermore and Mighty to Save in G and E and Awesome God in G.
Practice started and we did Evermore. I wasn’t too confident of the style and we did the intro from the chorus. Then build up to the bridge and finally the verse. Midway through the song, in the heat of a chorus, my acoustic guitar went silent. The pick was stuck. In the string. I managed to break my first pick and everyone was looking at me trying to pluck it out. Embarrassing. Then we did Mighty to Save which was also in E. Pick no. 2 was soon down. Poor green pick broke in two.
One day, two picks, three songs. And after 2 hours of practicing, we finally settled ROUGHLY everything. Fingers were really hurting. But it was going to be service in no time. Rushed home, bathed and got back to church. Gathered in the youth room and soon we went to 2-1 for pre-service prayer. Musicians supposed to have their own prayer but ppl were soon gathering and Meredith started pre-service prayer.
Had a great time prayer and Ps Mark had the 8 names of people at the end and soon it was time for service. Musicians went to practice again before the service and people were not there. So sad for me. My first service and no one was in Hall 3B at 7.30. Oh well, we went to the side room and had our prayer and it was soon time for the real thing. It was my first time.
Service started with Gabriel playing the chorus of Evermore and I was supposed to come in, but I wasn’t sure how so it was VERY messy cuz I was waiting for the rhythm to come from Gabriel but he jz played a progression. So I just came in anyway and things went relatively ok.
The music was apparently very messy and I felt I made so MANY mistakes. But oh well. It was soon over. Dropped my pick through the last song. Then it was preaching by Rachael. No mood to blog anymore cuz im seating in the 30th SC General Meeting. Important issue starts now.Labels: late, YA Music Team
