It was great! The Youth on Fire today was awesome! We had the lightings and fog machines! Woohoo!! But it actually made us singers harder to breathe. We had to fan ourselves coz the fog was so friggin vanilla smelly! Yerrrrrrr.. But overall, the youth service was totally SOMETHING! We sang Not Forgotten, We Wish You a Timeless Christmas, and Here I Am to Worship. (all Israel Houghton's version). Then we had the drama. My brother was the main character (AGAIN!), and I was a prop person, holding the sign "Bus Stop". Muahahaha.. It was a 5-minute skit though.

Then we had this game where we have to form a 4-person group to sing "Jingle Bells" or "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" syllable-per-syllable. It was tough. I was dragged by Leah, so my team consists of me, her, Imma, and Arum. We made it to the finals. Muahaha! But we lost to the boys - JB, Joey, Joshua (Ongko's uncle), and one more.. I forgot who! ><"

Our offering song was hilarious! It was me, Adelene, K'Fina, and Leah who sang it. The CD track SKIPPED in the middle!!!! And it skipped 4 times!!!!! On the second skip, we were quite worried already and was hoping that Tim would just faded it out, but he didnt! So guess what, we clashed in the middle, and the funny thing is, everybody just sang differently but luckily IN TUNE!!! It was hilarious though, coz in the end Tim did faded it out and we just put licks at the end. And no one really notice that we made mistakes. Haha! Actually, some did, but they said it was not so obvious. GOOD THING THAT SONG DOES NOT GO ON FUNNY FUNNY CHORDS! Phewww..

'k! It was definitely one of the best Youth on Fire I've ever experienced. You go peeps! Can take a look at the pictures. This was the last time we had our Youth on Fire in Setiabudi building. On February, the next Youth on Fire will be held in the new building. MSA building, babyy!! =D
