Emerge Day 2!
Day 2 of EMERGE! I think that day 2 is the MOST EXCITING day out of all the 3 days of Emerge! Reason? Because I performed and also because my fever is completely healed!! PTL! Well, it's not the first time that I performed in church, but this is the first time that I performed in church ON STAGE! this is way too cool!! :D The experience is definitely very very fun! Despite all the tough training, the performance was AWESOME! I always loved the feeling of performing, I love being on stage doing something that I like! It is a good feeling, a very very nice feeling that I cannot express! (: For dance, we reported earlier to do our warm-up and everything. However, the moment I got there, I sort of ot a bad news that there's no shirt that I could wear because they didn't have the extra The Disciples shirt for me. But thank God, somehow someone had extra! I was like PHEW! So I got Veda and Theresa to cut the shirt for me ;) It looked pretty hip in the end! Then the dancers were called to go to the Artist's Room for makeup and this is honestly the first time I see the makeup ministry in action! It looks so cool! The makeup ministry helped us with our makeup with their OH-SO-PRO makeup sets!!
Then the most coolest thing happen to me! The makeup artist helped me to put on fake eyelashes! Honestly I have no idea how it would be like, but it is just WAY TOO COOL. Needless to say, this is the first time I'm putting on fake eyelashes, it makes such a HUGE difference to my eye okay! And then the second coolest thing ever, one of the guy makeup artist who was doing my hair made my hair into the best thing ever. He started by doing this...
Yeap, that is just my hair being tied up into a bun, it is layered so it looks naturally messy. Then he just used the rest of my hair at the bottom to loop around the rubberband that was used to secure my bun at the top! SO COOL RIGHT? I'm the only one with this hair because my hair is too long! hahaha! But honestly, it feels heavy, so in the end, this is how my hair looked like..
Pretty impressive eh? Hahaha, while all the makeup is being done. At Hall 603, the Captain's Ball on Wheels were going on and honestly it looks super hard to play!! But it definitely looks fun! The Captain's Ball on Wheels was also initiated so that we can experience how it is like to be disabled. I think that this game is so meaningful, as not all of us have been on a wheelchair before, we will not know how it feels like to even play a game of Captain's Ball while sitting on a wheelchair and trying to control it.
And finally the long-awaited Emerge service started! (: My dance item was the beginning item and it honestly was exciting. I of course felt nervous too, knowing that Ecclesia knows exactly which one is me! Hahah! But the performance wasn't bad, it was good actually, I didn't make any mistakes while going on 'Jesus Mode' hahah! This is the Dance Ministry's term for dancing full-out with all your energy! It was very stoked! :D then I went back to join for service and danced to Today Is The Day! :D Then we had offering and then we had more Your Best Shot showcase! For saturday, we have Abigail, the 16 year old girl who sang Ah Mei's song. Her vocals are REALLY strong, like I am very impressed. I wished I have her voice ): Ohwell...
Then Div Teng from BBG came up and shared his testimony. He shared that he was from SMU and that he joined Balloon Bliss as his CCA in university. He took charge of one of the project and the project was to fund raise, and they managed to raise and amount of $48,000 and through this, 89000 people were impacted! Like wow... From then on, DIValoons started. (: This is also the group that done up the OH-SO-NICE balloon sculpture at Hall 603. And here is a little behind-the-scene looks of how it was..
Then, the next performance was the song "Hope Of One Voice" written by Elim Chew. The lyrics are totally awesome. A very beautiful song
Will you hear the cry
Will you give that hope
Will you be the help of this one voice...
And lastly, Pastor Kong came on stage and preached about Building Your Own Altar. We need to reserve a place specially for Jesus, it does not come naturally. He also shared that..
With that, Pastor Kong closed the session with the song Fire and he asked the pastors to lay hands on all the CGL and CGCs! (: It is an awesome awesome experience. I teared while worshipping God. :') After the service, my crazy cell group members went to collect all the stamps from the Game Fiesta! HAHA! (:
And lastly, I would like to end this post with another video!
Do stay tuned for the next video! It's all about the Game Fiesta!! (: |
