Weekend

After a really bad Friday - and basically a really bad week - I really needed a good weekend to reboost my morale.

So you're all probably thinking, "Siaw said she wanted a good weekend. So 'now she's going to start ranting about how bad a weekend she had."

Haha. Nope. Wrong.

I did have a great weekend. Well except maybe a few things or two that went wrong, which I overlook. Al, I think some of your forgetfulness is starting to rub off on me. Lol. Meant that in a good way, dear, don't choke me to death. *shivers*

Aih, kids will be kids. Somehow, in ways unimaginable, that little Bryant has really made my weekend today. Or maybe coz he's just plain cute and adorable and well, naughty? Hehe.

Well anyway, the kids - of all sizes and ages :P - in church really love running around on stage where all the musical instruments are. And yeah, you guessed it, they love tugging on instruments, mikes, their wires, the amps, the loudspeakers and all that. They love pounding on the piano, plucking the guitar, tapping the mikes (until one of them even fell down with a HUGE THUD once :) and whacking the amps.

So well, after the mike falling down incident, we - yes that means me and the other musicians - scared them off the stage coz we got an awful blast from the adults. Why? Well apparently it was our responsibility to always shut off the mikes and the instruments and the amps right after use which, well, frankly, we don't always do.

Anyway, for a pretty long time, the kids haven't been up and running on the stage already. So today, when me and the the other musicians (Jon, Agan and Silas) were packing up wires and the like on stage we were happily doing our jobs thinking that there ain't no kids that can disrupt us.

Until Bryant came running up on stage.

I'm telling you - all of us - dropped almost everything with a clatter, watching the little guy warily.

First he ran up to me. I was adjusting the main mike and its stand. The moment he ran up to me with this really wide - and kind of evil - grin, I clutched the mike and its stand like it was my lifeline.

"HAR - LO!" he screeched at me and his grin grew even wider.

The clutch on the mike grew greater.

"Hey," I offered, warily as the three boys stare over at the pair of us.

For a moment, he looked like he's going to grab the stand away from me. And then he turned his evil grin on Agan, Jon and Silas who are sitting very nearby.

He toddled over to them with this still really huge grin on his face.

Agan, Silas and Jon clutched their guitars and bass respectively possessively.

"HAR LO!" Bryant screeched again.

"Hey there, little guy," Agan said, trying to relocate his guitar in his lap as Jon places his bass on the stand, but still gripping it very tightly. Silas tried to put his guitar into its case quietly.

Bryant grinned at him and made a move towards them.

"NO!"

And that's when I ran over and caught the little guy on his shoulders.

"Bryant - "I began, "The wires aren't meant for tugging and - "

"BRYANT! GET OFF THE STAGE!" his older brother finally yelled.

Bryant grinned for one last time and then he made for my piano.

"Hey, hey, HEY NO!" I yelled.

Bryant turns around, shoots me an evil smile and then he just whacks my piano and takes off down the stage.

For a long moment, Agan, Silas, Jon and me just watch the little terror run off towards the back of the church.

We collapse with relief.

Never could imagine the day we would be terrorized by someone whose height reaches my hips only. :D

Oh. And then once, Ruth told me she disturbed Bryant:
Bryant: I want to play with that.
Ruth: (trying to annoy him) Why?
Bryant: Coz I like it.
Ruth: Why?
Bryant: It looks fun.
Ruth: Why?
Bryant: Because it's cool.
Ruth: Why?
Bryant: (very angry) If you ask me why one more time I'm going to ask your mommy to spank you!
Lol.

Oh well. That's about it I guess. Till next time, ttfn!
