A play by FCC YF : What Is Unconditional Love?

It's that time of the year again!!
And when I mean that time of the year...
No I don't mean Christmas...or Halloween..or holidays... or MY birthday for that matter.
What do I mean?
Easter..of course!!!
My church had a program...
But I forgot the title so yeah... I'm just gonna tell you what happened.
Woke up..brushed teeth...
Okaay...maybe not THAT detailed.
Went to church... invited Piriyankaa.
And it turns out a LOT of our school people were there.
Debra...Erm the others I don't know their names.
Had games!!! ( yay! )
The rule was :
1. 11-12 : RM 1.50
2. 13-17 : RM 1.00
3. 18-20-something : RM 0.50
4. Above that : RM 0.25
5. Married : RM 0.05

So they gave a certain figure...ex. RM 5.50
And we had to form a group based on that.
Like 3 11-12 year olds.. and one 13-17 year old.
Get it?
Well if you didn't... never mind.. cause I'm not a really good explainer.
And then at the end of it we had to form 4 groups and act out a play about what is unconditional love.
So..our group decided to act out 2 separate plays...
One about a boy called Ah Chai ( who was acted by Ben )
He was a straight A student until he mixed with some really BAD influence..
A.K.A. Ian and somebody else I forgot his name?
And in the end though he smuggled drugs.. ended up in prison... his parents ( Acted by Andrew? ) still forgave him and all.

Our group consisted of Esther..me...Aaron...Piri...Jolin...Rachel...and some others (yeah..I don't know their name either..)
Acting out American Idol.
So Esther and Piri were the judges..
And Aaron...Jolin...me and two other girls acted as the band Linkin Park. (what can I say? I love Linkin Park. )
And though Aaron didn't know the song... he lip-synched pretty well and we got a few raspberries. I was the drummer... ( Esther's idea 'cos I love drums.. ) and the two thers were the guitarists and Lin was the pianist.
Though who knew Linkin Park was primarily a girl band? Pure FICTION, PEOPLE.

Another two girls and Deb made up S.H.E.
Originally they had planned to sing another song..but I think they got stage fright or something..I don't blame them..we didn't rehearse and it was a one-time process.Though they sang Twinkle Little Star in Chinese. Or was it ABC? Those two songs have the same rhythm..in case you didn't know.
Then another guy..a newcomer I think...acted as A-something Bocelli ( or was it Brocolli? )
And yeah...A Bocelli IS blind.. so the judges said...
'No... I don't think he can sing!'
'Is that guy blind?!'
'We're gonna mop the floor with him.'

But in the end it turns out that Bocelli has an AWESOME voice and stole the award that night.

The other teams...
Team 1.
They do everything together!
Play games...drink water...wipe their butts? together. Though some are nerds...some way too cool to be there..

Team 2.
Yeah I pretty much forgot team 2. We were discussing at that time.

Team 3.
These three boys who got arrested and the lawyer helps with their case for free..and they go into a rehab program or something.

And our team.

So..in a nutshell... team 1 won...with team 3 as the runner up... and team 2 and ours getting a box of sweets. Mmm sweets...
It wasn't about how well the play was acted...it was whether we expressed unconditional love.
I learned a VERY important lesson that day if only I could figure out what IT was...

Then we sang a few songs...and then the skit!!!

Andrea as Victoria
What's his name as Bob (at least I think)
D as Larry (at least I think)
Colin as the Robber and the Officer ( split personality anyone? )
Delicia as Delicia
Plot
Bob and Larry were searching for unconditional love. Aka agape love.
So one day...they saw this really hot girl... and wanted to take her picture.
Unfortunately... she sees it. But offers to take it for them and just tells them to ask. ( Seriously she can act REALLY well... )
The two then fight over the phone and vow that the next time they see her..they WILL impress her.
Then..Delicia walks up and tells them about her search for Agape love and how close she is to finding it. They tell her that they have found agape love ( Vic )...but she tells them is it not the one and walks off..trying to still be optimistic.
So they become rivals 'cos Bob sees Larry as a shrimpy and how could he impress her? Larry sees Bob as a poor guy who has not much money...
The next day.. Bob tries to impress Victoria by holding a flower and kneeling and quoting Shakespeare.
Unfortunately.. Victoria is NOT impressed and just says..
' Just ONE flower?! Surely you can do BETTER than that!! '
Just as she is about to leave..Colin walks up and threatens her for her money.Bob..because of his big size...is able to intimidate Colin..forcing him to run away.
She is very grateful and hands him a heart-shaped piece of paper...telling him that it IS agape love..and he believes it.
Just as she is about to tell him that he is her new boyfriend... Larry walks up showing his wad of cash. (counterfeited)
Then she goes and falls for Larry. Or rather..his cash.
Then she gives him a heart-shaped piece of paper and tells him that yes..it is agape love.
The next day at a cafe..as he is proposing to her to become his boyfriend...and gives her a ring and his wad of cash... Colin walks up and tells him that he is under arrest for counterfeiting and asks her if she is involved. She says no and leaves.
Larry is dragged to a cell...but he still tries to be optimistic and says that at least he still has agape love.. but when he opens it out it tears into little bits...revealing that it is not REAL agape love.
Bob..also sad that she has dumped him..also unfolds his heart shaped paper..but it also tears into pieces.
Then Delicia walks up and asks him what is wrong. He tells her the whole story and she responds by saying that no-one and nothing can give you agape love..not even your parents can. Sure..it's pretty close..but not enough..and only that God can give agape love..and proceeds to tell that Jesus died on the cross for us and WHY...
And then he has a prayer.
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life..

End!

Then another round of testimonies...including one from Michy as she is about to go to Oregon to further her studies. Lucky girl!!

Then we go MAKAN!!
Which is in case you didn't know...my favorite part.
And Piri has got an idea that since she is the guest.we must serve her.
Lol much?
So we end up in a big group..talking girl talk and what-not.
Including discussing Korean dramas ( hint hint Boys Before Flowers ) that unfortunately Lin doesn't know anything about and doesn't even like.

And then we balik.
The End!!!
