Anyways, there might not be anyone reading this post, but this could be my personal diary and journal.

Being involved in a CF Rally might be one of my life's most memorable experience. Basically, CF Rally is an annual gathering of Christian Fellowships of schools around this region of Subang Jaya. From SMK Subang Utama in SS18, all the way to SMK USJ 23 and so on.
My Pre- Rally, bestest, friendliest friend ever! MEshell, MC
All this while I looked at these events and always have a misconception like, "oh no. Not again. Another 'show off' session for "Christians"." Maybe because when i look at the people, some my friends on the stage, performing, praising, and playing their instruments, i felt a very strong feeling of them being 'show offers'. I was judging the people, commenting their praise and worship sessions.

(session 1)
What i didn't notice, is the effort each and everyone of the committee, the worship teams, and the volunteers put in to make the rally a success, to tell the world bout the Truth, sharing Christ with them. So, yes, I'm a hypocrite, because i finally got involved with the worship team, as their backup singer and worship leader. (i wanted guitarist! Thank you esther very much! hmp!)
Ps Andy Yeoh, Acts
(session 2)
This was my first ( and last chance) to serve and see how a rally was run, planned, and executed. When i was being offered the position of a worship leader by my friend, Esther Lim, the worship coordinator for this year's rally, I hesitated, gave a lot of excuses. ANYWAYS, I prayed about it, and I'm very sure, that I heard a voice saying, "Take it, and glorify my name". I straight away called up Esther after a Wednesday prayer meeting. (Btw, Esther, if you're reading this, I also accepted it in behalf of you. You were really stressed at that time. =))
Hui Tingy
It turned out good. I received one of my most memorable experience i could have as a student, as a worshipper dedicated to serve Christ. For your information, I'm not a experienced worship leader, and I only lead my cell group of bout 15 people in worship before this. The rally was attended by at least 400 people. (AH!)
Joben
I also got a chance to work with random people from random schools. All this while, I only played with my church band. Always the same people. Now, these random people became my friends and brother sisters in Christ!
My asst leader : Chan Tong! thank you for supporting me throughout the practises!
My vocalists : Evon! continue to sing for Jesus, he will bless you well. =)
Ei-Lene! I will still be your guitarist in CF meetings, no worries. HAHA!
EiLeen! really, always rejoice and sing for Him!
My pianist : Jade! stay cheery and believe that He will multiply your talents and skills! SMILE!
My keyboardist: ESTHER! thank you for believing in me even when i don't believe in myself. =)
My drummer : Nehe! my God, get professional lah!
My A. guitarist: Michelle! Thank you for putting in so much effort during practises! hahax!
My E. guitarist: Ian! I need to learn from you dude! =)
My bassist! : Benjamin! hmmm. speechless la. xD
Michelle was offered to be the MC for the rally. great success!
Now, for the concert session, the committee expected at least 1000 people attending, however I'm not sure bout the number attended, but the hall was full. Lead by Joben, or Joseph Benjamin Steward, (what a name!), and Hui Ting, the session was definitely a blast! after months of practices and stress, we finally worked out the song arrangement and parts well!

I learnt that we should not look down on any effort put in by anyone in bringing Christ to the world, eventhough, its a small event, or gathering, because when we believe, we as Christian youth and teenagers can make an impact to the society, God will be with us.
p.s : thank you! Fennie and Ah Chi for attending the event! =) mwahhaha
