CAUTION : LONG POST AHEAD, FULL PICTURES ABSENT.

yes, I know, what's a good post without piccies rite..

but I wanna post this today and I don't have most of the pics so bear with me k.

I'll upload the pics when I get them. Meanwhile..

yesh...

even though we had quite a small number of children..

43 to be exact..

we still had a FUN TIME OUT

yeah!

so the youth present to help were Twinkle, Sarah, Melissa, Ir Vin, Jonas, Jason and me.

some of you ppl may be wondering, WHAT ON EARTH IS VBS ??!!

V.B.S

VacationalBibleSchool

its a camp tailored specially for children to fill their holidays with some

growing-in-God goodness to help the children learn more about God and at the same time, HAVE FUN

all of us, the current youth, grew up with many experiences,

sweet and sour moments,

God discovering moments

all during

VBS.

yeah..so u can imagine why even though we are past the age limit

we still wanna join^^

so back to VBS.

this time round, the theme was based on the Fruits of the Spirit.

when we reached the place on the 17th

it was raining.

and we had to move all our stuffs {games items}

to the hall, which was okla in size..but a little too small for games..^^

the kids were less than excited but we got the atmosphere pumped up with Unca Rowlance

leading them in some worship.

++

then we had some icebreakers and the sessions as usual.

I think this time round

we the assistant teachers worked really hard!

I'm not just saying for myself

but I think I pushed the guys to work hard too XD haha..

as the guys said themselves

"ing go yeh pei lam yan jou"

{these things are for the  guys to do}

hahah..

so there were three teams : 

Green : Love

Blue : Joy {my team} ^^

Yellow : Patience

and well, Green was leading at first,

but soon, Blue caught up and took over after earning 5oo marks

then Yellow became dominant because of how well they behaved during the programmes.

 

later on, on the first day

we youth practiced to present the Champion skit we had previously presented in church.

then we had dinner.

and I must say

THE FOOD IS GREAT mann.

the spread was good for all three days.

breakfast, lunch, dinner rocked!

haha..exaggerating here but the food was just as nice larh.

then after dinner there was a session and we presented the skit.

at which Jonas fell to the ground

{Jonas was Jesus and Melissa, Satan, fought with him and hit him to the ground}

Jonas fell so dramatically and OVER ly that me, sarah, and twink couldn't help laughing.

{mind you we were acting as angels,:laughing, giggling angels}

hahah..XD

Jonas is good lah at acting this kind of thing.

a kinda blur pic of our friend Jonas

then later, the children were to do a craft

some sort of catch-the-ball-with-the-bottle-craft-game

thingamajigie.

hahah..i love that phrase.

THINGAMAJIGIE

the kids playing with their own thingamajigie

Daniel pan X-Men

when it was time for the children to go to sleep

all of us teachers had to stay and help out to prepare the next day's

craft.

we went absolutely high during that time

wait.correction..not we but JASON was super high 

high as in jump up and down, singing, talking loudly, like drunk high..

hahahaXDXD

we the girls were just rolling our eyes everytime the guys did stupid but funny things.

we cut craft materials, chatted and became high until like 12+ i think.

then when we went back to the dorm {we crept silently}

we saw and heard cute sights and sounds.^^

aww..some girls were snoring and

Twinkle heard a girl sleep talking^^

and here comes the funniest sight,

we saw one girl who was sleeping horizontally across the bed..as in 180 degrees

hahahahahaXD so cute

and we thought she was the blanket at first ^.^

we were wondering like how in the world she could fit the bed horizontally mann..hahaha..XDXD

this same girl slept at like maybe 45 degrees the second night

nearly horizontal.

her mother had warned not to let her sleep on the top bunk.

so fastforward next morning..

most of us teachers didn't sleep well

because the girls woke up like 6 sth and started making noise and in turn woke us all up

when breakfast would only start at 9..

*huhu..nt enuf slp man..sumore so active and high the night before*

woke up with a badder sore throat.

oh yes, SO many people fell sick during or before VBS.

unca rowlance lah, aunti nancy lah, sarah lah, twinkle lah..

sick season.

*

*

all of a sudden, Esther became close to us

and as usual kena teased with Jason..

hahah..

as MOST of us know the then 7 year-old Esther had a history

of chui-ing _____ sumbody during VBS a few years ago.

she some how manages to get herself teased with a dude everytime.

sumore now just eleven years old. ^^

but still, she was a help to us lah..with the skits and helping to manage the children.

she's supposed to be the participant

but she's helping us out.

nevermind, she's being mature ^.~

so the day went on 

the fun really started

after lunch.

I organized some games 

indoor+outdoor

and the best part was we played with water balloons^^

after the game with the water balloons was over

we still had some left 

and when there are extra water balloons...

you know lah..water war will began ^^.

before I could take the container with the water balloons so that the children wouldn't fight over it,

all the kids started rushing in like a stampede

omgudness....my toe also was stepped on..

{super the pain man! }

aisyeh..kids will be kids..haha..

I even saw some keganasan among the boys.they were fighting for water balloons..

well...quote Lydia : "Boys will be boys"

so..in the end no water balloons were left for us, youth to play. *sniff.

but well, we managed to have OUR time to enjoy after all

as soon after was pool time =)

although we had to jaga the kids when they were swimming,

we still played like super siau..^^

so many water fights man..

I tell you, when Ir Vin or Jason serang during water fights,

the result is super powerful ..

in the end melissa finally went down into the pool after we serang her with water for many times XP XD

Pastor Daniel held competitons with the guys

and we helped Twinkle to swim=) yay^^

{Twinkle:Gambateh!}

while we were tengah "song" 

playing then suddenly it started to rain..

too bad..when it rains its the best time to play. but well, when the kids go up,

we too have to.

*

*

I must say..Luanne's mom iss so the cool..

she plays basketball, she throws water balloons at people

and she swims.

not every mother will do that.

*

*

after dinner, there were sessions again.

this time we acted in 3 skits for pastor Evonne.

2 were potrayals of patience while the last was a skit, the prodigal son.

here, our dear Jonas showed of his acting chops by kissing Ir Vin.

yes. Kissing Ir Vin. hahah..nt really lah..

fake kissing.

but he made it look like he had never seen his son in ages.

which is the story of the prodigal son.

the funny part however is dis :

pastor Daniel(narrator) : and the father saw him from afar and ran to his son

and hugged him and kissed him

jonas(father) : (kissed Ir Vin)

(Ir Vin ducks ^^)

pastor Daniel : and he kissed him some more...

(jonas kisses him again^^)

the kids are laughing like mad here XD

after the skit ended,

Jonas did the gay hand thing (hahah) and said : I'm half gay.

hahahahahahaXD

fun-ny..=)

*~

then, we divided into groups and started practicing for the group skit the following day.

yeah..we had very little time only..

but we managed to pull it off..^^

getting my group members to practice was *well superdifficult and can diewan*

and I can say proudly : the ideas are mostly from them not me.

*

*

something super cool Sarah drew while we were playing

once more after the kids went to bed

we played games like uno and speed.

and I've learned 2 new things!

speed and a piano duet with Twinkle^^

we weren't so high then^^

but still high larh..haha..

{yaiyai err..}

haha..

Melissa and Ir Vin
