Before my friends came, I decided to play guitar hero with Anthony & Zane :) HAHA!
Royston, Myself, Jay Lloyd & Sam
If you're wondering why our faces were so contorted, it was because Mr Jay Lloyd decided to squeeze our buttocks...HAHA. He loves such photo shoots...HAHA!
Joan, Myself, Sam, Chor Seng, Royston & Mei Zhen :)

Chor Seng can do more than 1 pull-up now! He claims he can do 3. Haha! That's what NS makes you turn out to be man..HAHA.

Before my performance with my band was a dance performance by "Fission X" a local dance group in our youth church! :)
Here's a lil' video footage of their dance which I videoed down :)

This is the video of my performance testimony :) Do watch it! In the first 2 minutes you'll hear Chor Seng praise me "Jonavan zai tan guitar de shi hou be jiao shuai" HAHAHA!
Thanks Chor Seng :) Next time, say it to my face. HAHAHAHAHA! Just joking :D
This is the video performance of my song :) Courtesy of Lebbillie Lau who videoed the whole performance down :D Thanks Lebbillie! :D
After my performance means that...I'm ready to be DUNKED!!! HAHA!
This is a picture of their first attempt. HAHA!
Dunking attempt 1...fail. HAHA!
If you think I went in, you thought wrong! HAHA! They tossed me in but I grabbed the side of the dunking pool and flung myself out w/o touching the water. HAHA!
When Brian saw that he was like "Whoa...Jonavan you sure can survive in Army, never say die attitude.." HAHAHA!
There's one more picture of me and my TP friends with me sitting on the dunking machine stuck in someone's camera...Daryl was the one who took the photograph. Haha. I'll retrieve it soon :)
After the dunking-scuffle episode, I changed and came back for more pictures! :D HAHA!
Me & Daryl! :D w/ the Singapore Flyer behind :)
Me & Christopher, our dear event coordinator :)
The Chengs & I :D Haha.
Melvin & I! :) W/ the lil' water feature behind :D
Me, my brother, Boon Kang & Benjaming w/ the youth anni photo frame! :D
Me, Jake & Kirk w/ the youth anni photo frame :D
Overall, this event was really fun! :) I really have many vivid memories of this events from stage to playing games to the dunking...ESPECIALLY the dunking! HAHAHA!
But I wonder, what actually was the purpose of this event? They said it was a soft-sell evangelism where people get to know what church actually is like and how fun it is. Hmmm...I guess they fulfilled that :)
Souls saved? Friends coming back on Sunday service? Zero. Haha! I'm not trying to po leng shui or be a wet blanket, but after all the hustle and bustle, I feel it's just another event without long-term change.
We're lowering our event expectations and soon we'll just be spending money on events without changing lives, on a macro scale that is (citing the fact that a macro event like this where thousands of bucks are spent).
The Church (captial C - the ekklesia; the Church Jesus defined) is called to be way more than that. And I hope that our leaders are working toward there :) If not, we won't be having many more anniversaries...HAHA! No growth = Close shop. Haha. I'll continue doing my part :)
I hope we'll celebrate many more anniversaries to come! :D Whoo hoo! Happy Birthday Youth Alive! May God see us through this season :)
