Festival of Praise (FOP)

the annual festival of praise which was held at the indoor staduim had just ended last wk... this is the biggest worship event of the year, and this year with Hillsong Australia and Delirious.. no doubt it will be great...

i went for the sat and sun one... me and some of my friend reach around 4pm and the queue is already like so long... but luckily some of my cruasade friends went there earlier so we just join them in the queue below the bridge... haha.. sound so bad.. cut queue..

at 6pm when the doors open, everybody gets so excited and push one another to try to enter the staduim fast.. whoa.. looks like abit out of control.. we were at the east gate which has a overhead bridge which we had to go through.. when i was at the top and look down.. couldn't believe it.. there were sooo many ppl and i couldn't see the queue end.. i think those ppl who came at this time wont have place to get in, esp on sat..

then in the staduim, we try to book seats for our friends as they're behind in the queue.. thank god most of them managed to came in on time, but got a few they got stuck outside becos the staduim is full already.. our group is like really big as since there are alot of crusaders in my church JCC, we queue up and sit together.. think we took up almost 4 rows of seats.. abt 40 ppl like that.. but good i managed to meet up with some ex-crusaders..

the whole event was great, esp the worship with hillsongs around.. all the great and powerful songs.. and some of us started jumping to praise god.. esp the song 'One Way'.. haha.. nv jump so great b4.. hehe.. the speaker Rev Colin Dye so called sermon, or the word of god, was great too..

for both days some of us had to the cab home.. on sat we went for dinner and then there was long queue at the kfc, so by the time we get our food it's too late to catch the train liao.. so had to take cab.. luckily got share cab, if not $22.. siao liao.. then on sun the fop only ended past 11pm.. some ppl went off earlier but i still want to praise, sing and jump to praise and worship.. so me, zq and a few of us stay till the end.. then also too late to catch the train as we went to look at the cds.. so we took bus to clementi to take cab.. it's cheaper this way, but i only reach home at 1am..

overall the FOP was super great! the feeling there is so great and rox.. but have to tahan the before and after show 'drama'.. that is squeezing through all the ppl, queue up under the hot sun, for bus, etc... but i think it's worth it, for such a famous band here.. looking forward to next year's.. hope i can make it..
