Chingay is finally over!

It was a great show, all glory unto Him!

Despite a horrendous performance on the full dress rehearsal on Friday, God turned things around and rained anointing on us on the actual day for Chingay.

Moments to remember...

human flocks running for shelter during the frequent seizures of showers

UDM (ultimate drum machine) toppling over while Nick was deeply immersed playing his cross hands strokes at the climax of the performance

the cursed 4 injuries-in-a-row on 3rd day of CNY

1 - And - 2 - and - 3 - and - 4 - and - 5 - and - 2 - and - 3 - and - 4 - and - 5 - and - 2 - and - 3 - and - 4 - and........

the prata eating sessions at Iman (Yawn.)

the hair-raising experience when Michelle broke her egg yolk before my eyes. *vomit*

my few seconds of fame on National TV

the many shocked-and-at-a-loss-for-word-half-jaw-dropping faces when Bro Boon said sternly after the performance, "Guys...What were you doing....(tension arose. silent confusion.)...YOU GUYS WERE AWESOME!" the silence broke into intense cheers and joyful laughs instantaneously!

the bonding of relationships amongst Strikeforce members through the trainings, setting up and dismantling of equipments, perspirations, tears, comparing of OR-CHEhs (bruises), the jokes and hysterical screams, the frustrations and the overcoming.....

AND MORE.

Loveeeeee Strikeforce.

Hallelujah! 3 performances in 3 days.
As I thought about it, God really is using us to make a difference in our community. As we performed, I looked at the fascinated faces in the crowds before me..
There we were playing, displaying what we've acquired after months of training. It was a trying time for many of us, juggling between various commitments, but as we availed ourselves to practice and honour the gifts that He has given, what we've sowed has indeed bore forth fruits...

And these audiences, the president, the prime minister, the people at Orchard Rd or AngMoKio, or those watching TV at home, whether they like it or not, when they cheered for us, they were cheering for God's masterpiece!


I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT STRIKEFORCE GIG.
