Today was great! But I shall tell you all about 5th Sunday first!
After 3 weeks of planning by Shandy and me, plus our wonderful facilitators ( Alena, Joy, Marilyn, Ezra, Leanne, Gregory, Catherine) , our logistics Terrence and advisors Richard and Jonathan. The day had come!
I woke up at 7, went to macs to meet Ezra and Joy for breakfast. But unfortunately, Ezra overslept while Joy was late. Anyway, at 8am Joy and I proceeded to church to prepare for the final meeting of facilitators to settle any outstanding matters. The discussion was great, we were all set to go. Everyone proceeded to the sanctuary for service, then left halfway at 930am when the preacher was going through a very interesting story… Couldn’t bear to leave lor!
The facilitators left to tend their station while me and Shandy organized the people who were going into groups. And so the games began! Shandy, me and logistics went to get the birthday cake, den chiong to Bukit Batok Nature Reserve to set up equipment.
60 X 4 waterbombs were made, and with many colours! Then we waited. Though it did rain at some of the stations, our final station was totally dry thanks to the Lord’s blessings.
They finally arrived and we all had lunch cautiously cos of the monkeys that appeared, and one of them wanted to snatch our papaya away.
The last group had to do a forfeit, that was to eat a papaya sprinkled generously with milo powder. AKA Papaya Dinosaur. They seemed to enjoy it leh!
We then had the classic birthday bash followed by worship led by Peter n Jonathan. Just together with nature, we sang. With sincerity. Just a single acoustic guitar.
Okay the above sentences are enough to make me fail written communication… SO many dependant clauses and phrases.
Anyhow, we played like mad people, throwing streaks of red, green and blue into the air… WHOOTS. Yepp. After all that we just had a debrief and went home!
It was w success I tell u!
Many thanks to those who helped to make it a success!
