Day 3/4 and...

A load of other stuff. Was really busy, and kinda lazy to blog when time was given. Day 3 of DMSJ (In case anyone forgets what Day 3 is about) was fun. The first day of quiet time... with the kids. For those who don't know what 'ironic' is, that's an example. Quiet time with kids when kids are no where near quiet.

I tried to prepare the things the day before. Of course I couldn't because the lights were off and I tried waiting with Clement for the kids to sleep but we waited and waited until we waited in our sleep. We were talking about what 'ye he hwa' was in english. Don't know whether pin yin right or not, but it means Jehovah. We didn't know, and we asked Andrew (The guy who reminds me of Shin Chan) what it meant. He answered, "'Ye' is coconut, 'hwa' is flower, so 'ye he hwa' means 'coconut and flower'. It was so darn funny. Not making fun of him for not being able to speak chinese, but the translation was just superb.

The quiet time went well without as much noise as I expected. Had Bingo Bash in the afternoon. It was creative. Never played it like this before. Normally when people mention bingo, I imagine a smoky room due to the cigarettes and crowded. Somehow SU's touch made the bingo feel very Christian and clean. Haha, well done! Had this activity by Sieh Jin about 5 ways to take the Word of God. Had to pair up with another one for every mini-game and if you loss, your partner would have to write the way on your finger. I'm a guy who cannot tahan outside dirty wan, so I tried my very best to keep myself clean. I won all the mini-games. Well done Shaun!

At night we had a Fun Nite. The whole thing was very well thought of. Didn't expect the king to be so hated until got people wanna assasinate and my dad was an advisor to the king. It was fun!

Not much happenings in Day 4. It was kinda little until Hwei's post (which normally makes you scroll all the way down) also kinda short. Anyway, it was kinda a happy and sad feeling. I was happy because it was holiday and I could go back and play PS2 while sad because I just managed to get closer to the other church members, especially my dorm mates. I used to look at Edwin Tay as the dude who looked way beyond his age, his brother Kelvin as a super tall dude, Clement as Spock (from Star Trek), and Andrew as a dude with much hormones. But then after the camp, I really got to know each of them better and it wasn't a Hi-Bye thing anymore. So yeah, for me, the camp's purpose was accomplished: To reach unity among the 4 churches. Well done to SAGC for organising and thank God it was a success.

Well, the load of other stuff would be these 2 jokes spontaneously made by my fellow classmates during Bible Knowledge. Form 4 dudes/dudettes, please take it. It's good for understanding of Luke and Acts. You'll love God more too, which is good!

Joke #1

Referring to the part where Jesus ordered the legion of demons into the large herd of pigs.

Teacher: Now, why do you think Jesus did that?

Student: Because of swine flu.

Joke #2

Referring to the part where Jesus gave His disciples a promise before going up to Heaven.

Teacher: What was the promise Jesus gave His disciples?

Student: I'll be back.
