Free 2 Be~

Free 2 Be concert was held on Friday(17/8), Saturday(18/8) and Sunday(19/8) nights. This will be the story told by the crazy me. Stories heard from this author is warned to not believe everything that is told. Haha... Just joking! So it begins...

Friday was a blast. So was Saturday and Sunday. Definitely a blast. Did i say blast? Well, it didn't explode if you were assuming that but if it did, then well i won't be here typing this entry anymore right? Most probably it will be a headline for the Saturday's news! Haha... Okay, back to the main topic of Friday night! Started right on time. *Finally something that has time conscience in it.* I went there at six. The superior said it would be alright if we couldn't go at four. So i went at six to be assigned as a security. Secure the premises. As if! hehe... Well, i was standing guard in front of the main entrance and after just putting my tag up, people were like already coming in. Well not in big herds or groups, just few people. I guess they were all hyped up for the concert as Free 2 Be concert are well known in Miri. Then came my friend, Lester, who also become one of the security guards. Being security is fun! Have to be mean and evil. You are basically an evil good person. *laughs*

Our position in the concert was to keep the peace in the right hand side of the concert hall. Easy task right? Well, it would have been if the people that flooded the whole stadium suddenly just came and the sits on the floor was getting limited. That being the case, the upper authority had then command the grand opening of the top floor. More and more people flooding and i had to go to the toilet. Hey, when i need to go, I NEED TO GO! *Plus, i don't want to make a scene where someone goes, EWWW! He peed in his pants! Right!* So i went to the toilet with my mean looking face still on me. After that, i was then dragged to do my post at the main entrance where i should back-up the line that is holding the flood humans from breaking in through the ground sittings. The main line of defense were directing the flood waters upstairs where they were promise with sits for the concert. Me? I was just at the back of the line to look mean and scare off those kids with that mean look on my face so that they will not spring a leak at the barrier.

Humans just like to go against commands sometimes. We ask them to go up, they want to go straight. Well i can't blame them since the management didn't know that a whole flood was coming. Haha... Guess the communication between the crew was just not good cause the line at the main entrance told the people to go up and the people above told the people to go down. This cause a massive jam in the flow of the flood. It wouldn't be that bad if well, the management got prepared for the unsuspected flood of humans. Just very interesting. They only prepared 1000 chairs on the hall and just expected that much of people coming. Who knew that more and more was just at the back crushing to go in just to watch the concert? Interesting don't you think? So looking at the opposite direction of the performance stage, cause i had to look mean and control the flood, i basically just miss the concert cause i had to prevent people from sneaking in from holes of the barrier. Stopping them in their tracks and seeing them terrified as if they seen a ghost. *Wow, i'm a ghost~* The power of being security.

So that is about me doing my job. The concert consist of many events. First it was a countdown before it started and everyone just love to countdown with the little movie when there is only 10 seconds left. It was nice entry to start the concert. Then if comes with prayer. *Did i state that this concert was an outreach? Guess i didn't. Well, it is sponsored by Scripture Union. So you can say is part concert part evangelism. Think that is cleared~* Then comes the opening song. Just one song but then came the dance and everyone shouted lots. You can hear the whoos alright. They actually cover over the whole volume of the speakers. Yeah, it was that loud! hahaha... Then after the dance is over, came the concert type singing. This is the part where everyone started to jump and have fun. Singing and jumping around is much associated with music that is loud and fast. Thus, praising the Lord at the same time. Wonderful isn't it? Everything goes accordingly. After the concert event came the little message of Jesus. Preached by Pastor Chris Long. Superb preacher to the youth which is his audience. Mostly though i do say there are some older people hanging around. Pastor Andy would be his wonderful side kick as an interpreter for the night. This will lead to the alter call where whoever wants to accept Jesus as their personal savior goes to the front for a prayer. *Nice isn't it?*

So that ends the concert for day 1. The time that it ended? Around 10 30. Cool eh? From 7 to 10 30. That would be 3 and a half hour. I don't know how long i stood there but i do know that i sat around 45 minutes and then it was duty time again. So basically stood around 2 hours plus? Wow, i didn't know my legs held me up so long. Thank you legs! Haha... Well, as for day 2 and day 3, basically the same event in order but only the last day, they had drama. Nice. If i was to write about it, it would probably be copyrighted. So i assume it is the best of choice not to write about the drama. I don't think i need to elaborate on day 2 and 3, do i? It is quite self explainable isn't it? Oh, the only difference? We changed post to the upper right side of the stadium to guard its peace from the unpredictable annoyance! hahaha... That is all that is different from day 1. Nothing else. So to complete this entry, lots of new believers and tons of jumping and really loud shouting. Lots of people. Don't know how to control them from moving around and that is the end of the concert. Free 2 be 2007 ended the way it should. :D
