YAY IM BACK FROM PLANETSHAKERS!!!
Uurghhh I've been TRYING to upload songs from my computer and put it onto my site but failed and failed and failed.Wasted a whole heap of time.At least I managed to get ONE song and a planetshaker video!Guys u have to watch it!It's not as good as being there live though,cos when u're actually there the music's blasting and u're surrounded with hundreds of people going nuts about God.
I had an absolutely AWESOME time there.It wasn't exactly life changing for me but this conference motivated me in certain aspects of my life.Throughout the conference I've been praying hard to experience an encounter with Him and will continue to pray.Praise and worship was fantastic.There was like 2000+ young people and everyone's so passionate and high on praising God.All going crazy.Singing, jumping, throwing hands in the air, dancing, shouting, clapping...Man,it was impossible to just stand still.I LOVE the atmosphere and praising God like u're on fire.Came back from the conference with aching calve muscles(which is pretty wierd)because I jumped too much.
The speakers were all really good and inspiring.
-Chris Hill
-Russell Evans
-Sam Evans
-Matt Fielder
Mike Gugglimuchi and Reggie Dabbs(both I heard were even better)were supposed to be there but sadly,they both had some major "incidents"(which I dun wanna name)..
Every night the evening sessions(7.30pm to 10pm)were full to the "brim?".And we had to reach the stadium one hour before it actually starts to queue up outside the gates(with the crowd that's already there).But it's totally worth it.
Camping over at church was also QUITE fun.Get to sleep with friends and play and stuff.Every night sleep around 12.30am(except the last night we stayed up till 2 in the morning)and every morning wake up 6.30am to do devotions before going for planetshakers' morning sessions.It was actually very tiring(I always end up sleeping on the way to challenge stadium in the van). One typical day have 3 sessions-Two morning sessions(9am and 11.30am) and a evening session(7.30pm).In between we have group sharing in church.As for our meals,maccas,hungry jacks and kfc?I heard last year's camp was KFC all the way..Every morning we go to McDonalds for breakfast and devotion then lunch and dinner was either fast food or taurus(a chinese restaurant beside our church). Luckily I brought along sufficient food so I didn't have to eat all these horrible meals everyday!!
And also,I bought a Planetshakers shirt and one of their cds!!!Yay eftpos it out.So high on their songs till now..You know,every night after the session is over and we return to church by the van,we play their songs in the van,turn it up and go high singing and "dancing".Hees,overall... PLANETSHAKERS ROCKS!!!!!! I'm going again next year if I'm not going back to singapore!!
Yesterday I went to Innaloo shops with my Planetshakers shirt on and met another Planetshaker!! I was at Allphones getting my sim card and the guy serving me said,"Hey I like ur shirt.Planetshakers!!" Yee so exciting!I asked him if he was at the conference last night and he was!If everyone were to wear their planetshakers shirt,I'm sure I would've seen/recognised alot more people.
Hehe food update: Risotto for dinner just now!!
Chicken,mushroom and asparagus.
It was so yummylicious!!!
Mum stood there stirring the risotto for 1/2 hour,gee time consuming.
Ok I better get going.Will try to update some photos and more songs tmr!!
