Dumping Some E-Waste

The local Korean church was collecting e-waste today (electronic junk that no one wants), so it was time for me to get rid of all my old laptops!

The Vaio is my current laptop. I didn't dump that one!

We found Hamish's super-old laptop too.

The collection point was set up as a drive-thru, so we just drove up to the guys, opened the boot and they took away our junk for us. I was sitting at the back of the car, just to make sure they didn't take away anything they shouldn't!

Switch Around

This morning we had our monthly English service. This time I was being the usher, the first time I had held this position. All I had to do was hand our programmes, so it wasn't too bad! I felt sorry for the team leading worship though, as the keyboard was playing up again and they had to sing without it! It was the second time singing without the keyboard for On, and it meant all that practising the day before for Nadine was a waste!

After cleaning up the gym side of the church yesterday, today we stacked all the chairs in the church auditorium and shifted them into the gym, for what would be our makeshift auditorium for the next few months as the other side of the church gets repaired.

It wasn't too big of a job this time around, and we were done not too long after. Some of the people in our fellowship were having some Bible study meeting, so I was just playing around on the piano with Rebecca, Ben and Andrew till my mum decided it was time to go. Sadly we left just before the group finished and went to dinner, so we didn't join them!

Closing Half the Church

Today was the last time we could use half of the church before it would be closed off for renovations. That meant we had to do a bit more of a tidy up. 

We had to pack everything up from the kindergarten and shift it to the classrooms at the back of our church that have now been converted into a make-shift kindergarten. 

We also had to clean up the kitchen and get rid of some of the food. There were some expired Grain Waves, but they still tasted good so I ate them, but all the other kids wouldn't believe me and thought it was disgusting!

Anyway, that half of the church is now empty and ready to be shut off to public! I'm not too sure how it'll affect lunch and what people do after church since we have nowhere to eat anymore.

Packing Things Up

After music teaching I went to church to join in on the cleaning and packing up going on. The reason for this is our church is undergoing renovations, or more specifically re-cladding to fix up the leaks. It is all due to start in the next couple weeks and it is being done in halves.

The first half of the church building to be renovated is the gym side, so we had to pack everything up into two large containers sitting in the car park. This meant unscrewing tables, stacking and carrying chairs and moving all sorts of stuff.

When I got there everyone was having lunch outside - BBQ with sausages! I think I arrived at a good time! Afterwards it was time to get to work!

In between hard work our youth group got some time to rehearse our Father's Day skit which we will be performing tomorrow. We didn't have everyone there though so we just had to make do with what we had. There was some training thing going on in the main hall so we had to wait till 4pm to use it. Once they got out, we went in and practised for a couple of hours. I had to sort out some music with Aonghas and finally decided to settle on the piano instrumental to A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton

I hope it works! Aonghas will just have to watch what is going on up on stage and extend parts to fit with what is going on.

To finish off the night, we all had dinner together which was made up of KFC, Pizza Hut and some takeaways!

While the adults (oh wait I'm one now too aren't I? Well the other adults!) did some more cleaning, we all decided to try this game Jenny taught us called 'Psychiatrist' in which everyone knows the rule of the game except the person/people in the middle of the circle who have to ask personal questions to those in the circle in order to figure out the rule. Let's just say we found out some interesting things about others...
