sooo, m@tch retreat this couple of days.

only describable as fun.

first day started off with ice breakers. which they left to the guys to prepare. how stupid of them.

turned out everyone thought someone else will do and only caleb came up with one ice breaker.

well that was still fun. but then we had nothing to do. BUT. being the creative ingenious spontaneous m@tchsticks we are, we came up with games on the spot. we started with polar bear. then we upgraded to werewolf.

NOT FAIR LA CHUA AND ONG KEEP GETTING EVERYONE TO VOTE ME OFF.

then lunchh. koufu da bao. followed by a rather fun workshop by yongzhi. i think it broke the ice better than the ice breakers. hmm.

basically it was about how we should work as a ministry, and specifically as m@tch. we had various activities which were really enjoyable.

BOMB BOMB BOMB! hahahah

and not forgetting the plan to get the other team drunk and steal their things then tie them up. :D

btw i FINALLY know what m@tch stands for. yes i am a lousy m@tch member.

Ministering @ Tacklebox: Care & Hospitality

after this was sharing + admin. which took rather long. but oh well it was a well deserved wait for after that we had a nice expensive dinner at long johns then night games! oh man.

first up: piggy-back passing of pretz sticks. we totally owned the oh too easy challenge part :D

second: 7 of us squeezed on a mat and then we try to flip it over. we did it after MANY tries. and i think it was pretty unhygienic, squeezing liddat. oh wait thats not all. we had to finish 4 cans of coke in a minute. the.freaking.gas.

third: girls blindfolded drawing makeup on guys. guys blindfolded gelling and tying girls hair. totally messed.up. i had to walk around for half an hour with stuff all over my face and neck. caleb had LOSER written on his head with lipstick :D

forth: making skipping ropes from cuttlefish strips and 'skipping' a distance. then making a meaningful picture with the strips. 11 minutes!

fifth: hold hands in a line and cross an obstacle course without touching anything. tolerate annoying 'new members' like john chua and kenneth ong.

anddd that was all. hahahh really funn.

wash up then, movies!

we kept switching movies. and we ended up half going to play soccer some going to watch them play soccer and me and rachel lok the prison break addicts staying to watch prison break 3.

im her official spoiler.

so in the end they stopped soccer and we all watched prison break 3 toghtr. i ended up sleeping halfway xD. cause i was on my sleeping bag. comfy and all. i slapped jaron in my sleep.

today!

started off by running 3.5km in 40minutes. dont even begin to calculate how slow that is. because, it is VERY slow. look at it this way. i take 21minutes to run 4km. yep.

oh yeah i think when leaving caleb whacked ruth thinking it was me :P hahah to caleb: what a loserrr. to ruth: hahah sorry.

breakfast at queenstown.

bused back. slacking time! poker on jeremy's comp!

morning devotion. personal reflections. poker. hahah stupid ghost stories.

we won poker once! oh the joy.

then off to faith acts for workshop number two. talk about ministries and hospitality.

interactions with the faith acts kids. funny! and they are pro at table soccer kay, i tell you.

then it was off to watch prison break 3 again. i got tempted away to play monkey. from 4 people we grew to 7! what can i say. we are influential people.

then the dreaded pizza. smart guys wanted six pizzas. stupid people said eight. so being the chivalrous gentlmen we were, we submissively obliged. all of us ended up gorging ourselves. and it was the guys who suffered the most. the girls ate 2 per person, max. guys ate 6 per person, max, 4 min. oh, the unfairness in life.

a bit of frisby with caleb jaron and nevin and then home.

i love the m@tch people! yay.

heh i think this post was a tad too long.
