Youth Easter 2011 - Part 3: The Sketch

Continued from Part 2.

THE SKETCH

The sketch! Oh, the sketch! Did you know they prepared the sketch with only less than a month before? Trust me, if you were there, production truly felt like it took more than that period! Praise God for all that talent!

The director was Kit, Song Wai Kit. Since I have yet to receive the soft-copy of the script from him, I will just try my best to re-script the original script to the nearest scripted script.

"The story begins as Eugene Goh and June Ling being Vincent's daddy and mummy (respectively).
The daddy works in an office where ties are compulsory to be worn. Shirt tucking-in is optional. The daddy is so busy tying ties every day, he has no time for his sonny Vincent. Poor Vincent.

The mummy is a housewife because she wears an apron. Everyday she sits at home and she waits for the husband to come home so that they could argue. She doesn't even have time to straighten the table cloth, so you think she has time for her sonny Vincent? Poor Vincent.

Everyday Vincent sees the parents arguing so he gets sad. So sad coz when the parents argue, they don't even realise Vincent is there. Like Vincent is a breeze passing by. Poor Vincent.
Luckily, Vincent goes to the BEST SCHOOL IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD™. Still, the students and his so-called friends ignore him and bad-mouth him behind his back. Poor Vincent.

In the absolution of heavy confusion, zero-food consumption, random assumptions, extreme emotions, mind pollution, intolerable depression and totally no solution, Vincent is driven to sit on a very small chair with only one thing left to do - to wipe out all his worldly infirmities (via extermination of head dandruff, symbolically)
Satan is at its best when he sees someone falling and therefore influences 2 badly influenced influencers to influence Vincent to turn to unholy ways to cast out his depression. These two naughty fellas are Eugene Lau and Jerome*. 

* No surname required because there's only one Jerome here.


Whilst smoking their chocolate Rocky sticks, the naughty fellas go to Vincent and gives him the so-called solution to all his problems. Vincent's eyes open like he won the first prize in the National Lottery Competition.
 
 "First we need to go to CC (Cybercafe) and play CS (Counterstrike)", says one of the naughty fellas. Within a few weeks, Vincent became a master at the game. Some new confidence was found and he slowly starts to forget his woes and sadness in the past. One of the beginnings to the ends of his life was just starting.
  "Next, let us have a good time at the pub!" Then came the deadliest of life-enders for Vincent.
  
The two naughty fellas are excelling at their jobs when a girl with black long hair, black high heel shoes and dress and a pair of black shades. Her name is Jo Ee by the way.

For the first time in his life, Vincent felt what he thought was the feeling of love.
Then Jerome whispered something into Jo Ee's ear. Something that none of us know. Not even the director, Song Wai Kit knows what was whispered.

Somehow that whisper had an effect. In no time, Jo Ee and Vincent - they had become a couple.

All the times spent together that had meant the world to Vincent. All the shopping, the dining and the movies. Vincent found new hope!
All these that mattered the world to Vincent meant nothing to Jo Ee. In no time, she leaves him. The 2 naughty fellas were just trying to use him to buy things for Jo Ee!

 
They took a piece of his world with them.
And Eugene Lau takes all the shopping bags with him.
Vincent's world falls even harder. It falls even faster. Just like what you and me have had experienced at least once or twice in our lifetime. Rejection. Lies. Loneliness. No worldly things can help us overcome all these painful truths in life. 

There is only one answer.


Take a look at the mime pictures.













THERE IS HOPE IN CHRIST JESUS

Youth Easter 2011 - Part 2: The Worship and The Message

Continued from Part 1.

THE WORSHIP SESSION

As soon as the ice breaker session was over, all ices were broken, melted and there were waters on the floors everywhere. Thus we needed to divert their attention by singing songs of praise and worship. It was led by Eugene Goh and His Team of Guys and Gals Who Can Play Musical Instruments and Sing!

A beautiful black & white photo compilation compiled by June Ling, Ng.


What proceeded in the series of events were a sketch, a mime and a dance. We'll put that in Parts 3 and 4. Because chronology isn't widely practiced. Yet.

The sketch drew much varied emotions from the audience. Laughter, anger, joy, sadness, feelings of injustice, and you name it, they might have it. The dance by the Red Shirt people channeled much energy onto the audience, readying them for the main course of the night: the Message.

We invited Pastor Elijah from Church of Praise Ipoh to speak.

THE MESSAGE

Praise God and Hallelujah! Many lives were touched and saved! Many gave their hearts to Jesus and many came out for altar calls to receive further touch and blessings. It was indeed a Victory and THERE IS HOPE IN CHRIST JESUS.

We shared about the true meaning of Easter. Praise the Lord that there was 7 non-christians there. Some became interested in Christianity & even accepting Him.

Youth Easter 2011 - Part 1: Before It All Began

On April 23rd 2011, we had a fantastic celebration at the church. The fantastic-ness was due it being very blessed in all angles possible. Fortunately all these angles were captured digitally by a few armed personnel (that is, armed with cameras). Therefore we present to you the Part 1 of the photo journey. Enjoy!

BEFORE IT ALL BEGAN

The church gradually anticipated the gathering of peoples into the auditorium. Whilst waiting, Adrian Lai took some shots of the anticipation.


Kerry to Eugene: Are you starting?
Joseph: No, he's Eugene.
Adrian Yap: (The back of my head is very itchy.)

And her name is Sabrina! (The braces are due in September!)

This is Samuel Leong. His sister wears braces. (They are due in September.)

Jillian: Can I have some make up please?

Yee Shien: Wait for your turn, Jillian!

Next, we asked a question to a few people.

"How many eyes does Lai Har have?"


(answers as per every photo)


Yep, Lai Har confirms that the answer is two!
No prizes for the correct answers!

Samuel Lopez: Hey we are going to start worship already. Where is Eugene Goh?

Eugene Goh: zzzzzzz

THE ICE BREAKER SESSION!!!

It's 8pm and the Chair-person of the night speaks. Give it up for Doreen Phee, our beloved Youth Leader!

Doreen Phee.

Ee Chiet looks on attentively while William sits behind her staring at the fire extinguisher.

Song Wai Kit welcoming peoples.


A game of ice-breaker ensues. 4 groups are divided by the locations you were born at - The Hospital, The Clinic, The House and In A Car. Oh wait, my mistake. I meant to say it's when you were born. Four different groupings - 1st Quarter (Jan, Feb & Mar), 2nd, 3rd and 4th. The objective was to fix jigsaw puzzles.

Our very own Ai Ling!

And the final completed puzzle is unraveled in the photo below!

Revolution: Testimony from Sam Y Lo!









As part of the Recess Revo movement, one of the responses we have from Ipoh is from none other than our very own Sam Y Lopez! Here here, check it out!


" Hey guys! Just here to share a lil something:)

Today was actually the first day back in school for me and my bestfriend, Josh Loo. We were supposed to report at school at 9am but the both of us decided to go early at 7 to join our daily CF prayer. Haven't been there since we left school after Spm, but at least there were still people gathering at that same place to pray. We were also really encouraged to see new faces from those in form3! Got to know them and prayed along with them :)

After prayer me and Josh went for breakfast and the rest of the prayer group had to go to class for their exams(its midyearexamperiod). We met our old CF teacher and we had a good time catching up. He encouraged us alot too :)

After breakfast, we walked around cause we had some time to kill before registration started. And we noticed many new faces from many different schools coming to sign up for Form6. And we also saw that no Michaelian actually bothered to talk to them or tell them where to wait and all. We felt prompted to just go up to the newcomers and just welcome them and make friends!
So the both of us did just that and we got to know some guys from JPP and SamTet which felt really awesome! The guys really responded well and we struck conversations almost immediately!
We went on welcoming whoever we could and if possible just shake their hands and get to know where they were from and all.


I'm excited for even more! AMEN!
To God Be The Glory and Honour and Praise! :)))"
