LOUD 2009!!!

About a year has passed and LOUD concert is back again!

As XYZ events presents to you....

LOUD 2009!!

I only joined XZY about a year ago. My friend invited me to join her CG, PJDU around the month of July and a few times i heard of them talking about this LOUD concert. During that time i have no idea what it was or how is like as i did not attend LOUD'07. So as the time draw near to LOUD'08 we had lots of ZoneCongres which explains abit more about this concert and i started to get really excited about it :) They had this cool contest about creating LOUD posters before the event which i think it's a really cool idea cause it get me all motivated and heat up for this event. It even gave me a bonding time with my CG when a few of them came together to make the poster :) and guess what?? We won vouchers!

PJDU LOUD poster! It's real glittery! ^^

They gave us this really really cool invitations that looks like concert passes to invite friends and to my suprise i found out that im not the only one who had no idea what LOUD concert is... So ya... Lots of my friends were curious so quite of amount of them turned up for the event!! ^^ Praise the Lord!

The Event was held at DUMC Dream Centre. Huge place.

Me and a few other friends went there quite early about 5:30pm like dat... During that time... there weren't much people yet. So we hang around. There were lots of cool games like the giant Fussball, Wii games!, the dancing arrow game and lots more!!! Me & my friends did not participate in the games tho as there was like loong que of people awaiting for their turn. Instead, we got our face tatooed, bought a burger & a oh-so-good bubble milk tea and enjoy the performance by the indie bands :)

Time passes and more and more people start arriving. Then there were ushers around giving out this long colourful balloon thingies which makes lots of noise by hitting them together. 10 minutes before the beggining of the concert they opened the doors as hundreds of teenagers rushed in the huge auditorium. Me and my friends held hands trying our best not to get separated as we squeeze through the crowd to find a seat.

The huge auditorium at DUMC where people have their weekly celebration(service). Where the concert was held :)

A countdown started as we enter the auditorium. The atmosphere was filled with exciting-ness as the huge coundown clock hits 0:00 then the concert had great start off with XYZ very own Junkyard Invaders! It was really really cool! The beats and the creativity and all that was just awesome! Then dancers came on stage to show off their cool moves!

Then they introduced this local christian band, 1amBand.

I havent heard of them or their songs before so it's definately something new :) They lead a crowd about 1000++ people into praise and worship. Awesome-ness.

After that Melvin Ong aka MOKS, our youth pastor came and share a message with us. Then came the most touching part of the event. The altar call where people are called to come to the front to accept Jesus into their lives. I was vey happy to see my non-christian friends putting up their hands and going out to the front when they were called. Soon there was a crowd at the front. I felt very glad to see people one by one stepping out front to accept God as the Bible quoted in Luke15:10 "In the same way, I tell you, the angels of God rejoice over one sinner who repents" -GNV.

It was an awesome experience. This Loud concert. This is all i can tell you about through a blog post. There were more than this that happened and just to much to describe. If you really wanna know more... Just come for LOUD 2009!

Hope to see you there! ^^
