Can't Find It!

Happy Birthday Tammy!

Yesterday us brothers went to church alone, and with our music instruments. Church service...snore, but with one interesting note. When they asked for any new people to stand, there was this African guy who stood up in the back! Everyone turned around and was either surprised or impressed! The minister said something in Chinese and the guy who was about to sit down stood up again so it seems like the guy understands Chinese! That's impressive! So far besides Chinese people at our church, we've had a few 'white' people, a Maori and an African. May racial diversity continue! The little children also got up on stage and sang a few songs, which is always hilarious. The smaller kids are completely clueless, with one of them constantly lifting up his shirt and flashing everyone, while a couple of other kids wandered up on stage at a random time!

After church we were supposed to have another church music rehearsal for two hours apparently. I didn't realise they meant it was going to be a dress rehearsal of the whole concert, and because our music group weren't playing till somewhere near the end, we were just standing around doing nothing. I was just leaning against the door when Angie walked by! I never knew she came to church, which is the first time she has in several months, but then again I guess she would've seeing as her sister was performing with the kids on stage. We were just talking for a while and watching her sister practise this dance she'll perform at the concert in amusement until her mum had finished. Her mum's getting baptised next week which is an exciting thing! Too bad Angie has to work and miss it all though!

It was finally our turn to perform on stage and so we got up there and screwed it up! It didn't sound too bad on camera but it did on stage! Afterwards the lady in charge met with us guys to teach us how to use the make-up she had for us. I think it's supposed to be lipstick! It says it's strawberry tart flavour, and it smells good too! Hamish wasn't too pleased about it all, but the rest of us guys just joked about it. At least we don't have to put on foundation and all that other stuff as well!

Us Anderson brothers then went to Burger King for lunch after church. We went all the way to Lynn Mall so that we could check out the shops over there and see if they had anything good to sell. It was really packed! We also came across this music teacher we knew from when we used to go to the West Auckland Music Education Centre.

I couldn't find what I was looking for, so we managed to get home before the petrol ran out, but I shall continue searching for what I need to buy before Christmas comes!

Don't you just love Christmas TV? It's pretty cool with all those holiday movies, except for a Christmas celebrity special of Are You Smarter Than a 10-Year-Old. That we could do without! Eyeworks Touchdown just parade all their washed up personalities to answer supposedly primary school questions and do horribly bad at it! My House My Castle's Rob Hart didn't do so badly though, making it to the last question before deciding he'd take the money and not risk attempting it. Wait a minute...why did I bother watching this show again??
