SONICFEST WAS AWWWWWWSOMMMMME! you guys seriously don't know what you're missing.
this sucks. i'm stuck at home, while everyone's having a great time at fort canning green worshipping God, and I'm just. not doing anything. ITS NOT FAIR. i wanna go. now. i'm missing sonicflood. i'm missing sonic edge.
i have to wait until next year.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

yesterday
school as usual, i can't really remember what happended because of sonicfest, i was just so excited. haha. i just remember being mad at sarah because she had PE monitress duty with jiap so i had to wait for her until 3 which spoilt my perfectly scheduled plan. pshaw. so so. then we caught a 852 to west mall, where we headed for bought our stuff. and we were early! according to my schedule, so we decided to go to sembawang because i wanted to buy eve's cd. don't you just love me? (: and then we were still quite early so we went back to shop some more. and then something weird happened but i dont wanna talk about it. buttt after getting off the escalator this guy suddenly turned around and said Eh? and omgeez it was warren with his girlfriend! hahahaha so i said hi. then they went into some furniture shop.

then we went to my house, and we showered and ate our lunch. and then we changed but we were LATE! so we rushed to the mrt but we didn't know how to get to dhoby ghaut(?). so i think we ended up on the really longggg train where it said that it would take 55min to reach and i was supposed to meet evan in like 10minutes. so. we took a cab and it was still really slow. and we didn't have enough money to pay, we were short of 40cents. the cab uncle grumbled a bit but then he let us go. so then i went to plaza sing to meet evan. outside The Body Shop which sarah and i thought was kinda weird for a meeting place but whatever. so i got the tickets from evan, and then me and sarah went to find fort canning park.

the nice security guard at park mall told us how to get there. so we found it, but we didn't know what to do. but then one of the sonicfest people told us we had to get the admission band thing so we did. and we checked the program but nothing interesting was going on. so i called kimberly, and we went back to plaza sing to meet up with kim and andrea. haha it was so funny they bought so much food. we had a couple of near-death experiences with the cars.

and then we went back to fort canning green. we called plee but it was SO NOISY at the give stage that we couldn't hear each other but then becky found us. so we sat together. nat and vicky joined us. saw eve and ethel. passed her the cd. and then it was time for the planetshakers performance. IT ROCKED! but it wasn't as good compared to sonicflood. because i know more of sonicflood's songs. after planetshakers' performance, i went to talk to eve and met cheryl. then i saw evan again.

sonicflood's performance was so touching, everyone was just worshipping God in their own way, lifting up their hands, singing, jumping, dancing. and everyone was just. feeling God in their presence, it was awesome. I didn't feel so restricted, i felt so free that i could worship and praise God however i wanted, i could jump and sing and i didn't even care if people thought i was crazy. but somehow i can't feel like that in my own church, during our own worship.

then the lead singer shared his life story, of God's amazing grace, hallelujah. how God healed him, his illness and all.

then there was an alter call, and i went up front with sarah. and i can't describe how close i felt to God, i could feel Him right there, listening to my prayer. and i just felt so so good to be there.

then sonicflood played this really rocking song - this generation and this dancing song. a great way to end their performance.

then everyone left, so sarah and i did too.
but then i saw paul! hahaha. so i said hi.

we took the mrt home because we thought we felt independent and cool.
but i just ended up serious tired. cause we had to stand for like an hour.

we reached my house, then showered and ate a late dinner of chips and RIBENA. hahaha.
we painted our nails, mine are a pretty frosted pink and sarah's a scandalous gold.
