The Y.E.S was for 4 days12th-15th March 08, Wed to Sat... and it turn out to be great .
I, Ern Shern, am responsible for this post...
So Please bear with any errors made XD...

There were many visitors present...
Among them were;
-Jae Wen ( Friend of Ern Shern)
-Alvin
-Jonathan
-Christine
-Jonah (Came on the 2nd day)
-Micah (Came on the 2nd day)
From Melacca Church Of Christ
-Kevin (From the Subang Jaya/Melacca Church Of Christ)

The 1st Day ( Wednesday)

Many of the youths arrived at around 10.. ( suppose to be 8- 9) lol...
And then we were suppose to have the ice-breaker session..but there was no ice to break!!
After that, we had the introduction to the topics by the speaker Bro Eng Boon.
The introduction was about Doctrine and Authority.
The 1st Lesson was about The Church Organization
Which turned out to be quite an important topic..

At night we had our first singing workshop which was conducted By Bro. Chiang Ling
We learned a few new songs such as;
-Emmanuel
-Someday
-and a few others...which i can't remember...lol...

There was one song where it Goes like this,
Please Don't Wait Until Dark,
Don't Wait For A Rainy Day ,
Just to pray (just to pray)
(u've gotta) Find time to pray
When the Sun's in your eye,
When the Sky are blue..
We're supposed to sing it 5 times, and then every time we are supposed to sing higher...

The 2nd Day (Thursday)
We woke up.....
Had breakfast... haha....
Followed by the arrival of Jonah and Micah.
We then proceeded to our next lesson
2nd lesson was entitled Modern Day Miracles and Tongue Speaking..
A very interesting subject indeed...
We had 3 good session on it conducted by bro. Eng Boon.

In the afternoon, we had games by bro. Daryl and his assistant Hao Qi...
We participated in some sort of clue finding game which turned out to be quite fun.

At night, we had the 2nd Singing Workshop conducted by bro. Chiang Ling (also for the preparation for the Friday Singspiration)
Each one of the guys had to lead a hymn, and the hymn we were suppose to lead is not chosen by us but was instead chosen by bro. Chiang Ling..
The songs given were quite tough for us,
but, thanks to the help of everyone, we manage to do it!

On The 3rd Day
We had the 3rd lesson which was on Instrumental music.
The lesson made things quite clear for us pertaining to the use of instrumental music in worship.
We only had 1 session ,which was held in the morning.
This was because bro. Eng Boon had to go to a university to give a speech,

In place of his lessons we had free time.
During which, we practice our songs together and had fellowship with one another..

The most exciting part was at night, when we lead our song in front of the congregation.
Most of us were nervous but it was a good experience nevertheless.
The first Hymn lead was by Alvin, which was err, forget de .. .sorry,
after that ,Ern Shern, lead the hymn Standing By The River .
Followed by Ee Ren (He will pilot me)
Micah (Hallelujah Praise Jehovah )
and others
which i forgot. Sorry!
The Singspiration turned out to be a huge success...
Thanks to Chiang Ling , and all the youths who worked together and helped each other along the way...

On the 4th Day
We woke up, packed our bags and went home at about 12pm thoroughly exhausted and fully satisfied ....T_T....

We would like to thank
-bro. Eng Boon for teaching us all 3 days.
