- friday jan 21 - (part 2)
part 2.. here we go...
alrite... so after seeing the buildlign fo the stage.. we continued to practice our songs and what not.. to work out harmonies and everythign and it was going well... still kinda stressed.. but was told htat i have nothing to stress about...
it's true though.. i was so stressed that i can't do it that i forgot i'm nto the one doing it... God is... that calmed me down alot...
newayz... we began setting up the stage and what nto after lunch, lunch was pretty good but we went in late and kinda ran out of food so wasn't too full.. but they had like so much "junk" food which us vocalists werent' allowed to eat so that sucked...
we started to get really excited as the evening approached and with tonz of prayer it came... wow... there were 600+ jr.highs in a gym.. and man were they pumped up.. crazy... they were the like the energizer bunny, and never ran out of that energy and we were excited because hey, maybe they'll be into worship...
so the MCee's did their thing and pumped up the crowd, giving out free stuff and making hte teams cheer and what not and when it was our turn to lead worship, man.. a completely whoel diff. reaction... i dont' knwo if it was cuz they were expecting like a rock band or even jsut non-chinese peopel but the reaction was almost zero.
oh, before i continue.. rite before we began the evening session, the coordinator, darren, spoke and prayed for us while we were ina room upstairs praying... he called us the "rotten egg plants" just cuz... dont' knwo why but just cuz... and we were at the same time asked to come up wiht a name... now that was weird... well we coudltn' think of anything else so we went wiht "rotten egg plants" but took the first letters of it and called ourselves "REP"
tim tang told us that when we come up wiht a name, it shoudl be one that has meaning to us and that we can carry it on outside of BCOQ and with REP, it reminds us that when we're up on stage and off stage.. we are REPresenting our GOD and that's what we're told to do :) so we were known as "rotten egg plants"
newayz... back to the evening... the reaction was almost zero.. it was hard to swallow.. like i was just lookign at them in the crowd and they just werent' interested... after the evning, we spoke to the coordinators and leaders trying to figure out why they werent interested... we then realized that our songs were too knew and that it's hard for them to learn songs that quickly... soooo.. God, on the spot, challenged us ot change everythign that we've pracitced... man... wow....
so that nite we switched everything... well... at least the next set, put in songs that were a bit older that they would know and we went ot sleep that nite... havinga set for the next mroning... so we though......
(i'm in clas rite now so hopefully 2nite i can write down the rest of our experiences as REP)
