Red Alert
Yesterday was the first time i ever have had such short notice to 'help' out and attend a wedding dinner.
Received a call from my church friend on Mon afternoon asking me to help out in his wedding. He requested i play keyboard for him. When i probed further, he merely said play Christan songs. I then suggested to bring a drum set too so as i could play the drum for him if he wanted. That was the last i heard from him till yesterday afternoon.
He came to pick up the instruments but his car was already full of 'things' such as food inside. He then called his Cell leader during mid afternoon and asked him to help transport the drum set. While we were on our way to the venue, Legend Ballroom @ Fort Canning Park, we realised that there wasn't any amps for the guitars and keyboard at the ballroom. Things started to get a little panicky and worrying.
Fortunately, we were able to use their main systems for our equipment. So with GOD's blessings the dinner started off quite smoothly. I was the 'reserved' in the band as the cell leader wanted his nephew to try playing the drum and they have got another person, Stanley to play the keyboard. Well, it was good as i have nothing to do except helping to arrange the songs on the file.
We had worshipped and cell leader, Johnny said a little prayer before dinner began.
It was a 8 course chinese dinner and the food wasn't enough for 10 men on the tables. 4 tables were reserved for church members.
As it also happened to be the bride's birthday, the bridegroom played a birthday song with another church mate on the guitar and this time i play the drum.
Have to bring the instruments back to office after dinner as Johnny needed the van for other purposes the next day.
By the time i was home it was already pass midnight.
Glad the wedding dinner went smoothly without much of a glitch.
Finally to the newly wed couple, James Ong and Olivia Giam :
Congratulations and Best wishes To You.
GOD Bless You
