“Go Green!”

This was our subzone event on Sun!

The ppl had to brave through the forest trails, answer questions, play games, and dance.

“Ping Ping Pong Pong” station

“Catch Me If You Can” station

Teaching the people how to do “Square Dance”

Here's Edward & team doing “Visa Dance”… Still have formation!

The final mass dance...

The 3 teams from our cg...

Selena & team! Very united!

Trudy & team emerged No. 1 in "Go Green"!!!


Our cg photo... 14 friends came!

Hey guys! I'm really proud of ALL of you!

Having the STAMINA to last the race and being so SPORTING to play the different games! Good attitude!

Subzone photo!

Haha… It was a loong day esp when I had only one & a half hr of sleep before svc!

I’m in charge of this station called “Color Power”!

It took me a longer-than-expected time to complete the preparation!

Halfway through, I ran out of glue!

Checking the time, it was already 3a.m.!

Do I really need to go to 7-11 at this hour to buy glue? I "whined" to my mum.

15 minutes later, there was a knock on the door!

My mum appeared with a bowl of hot milky stuff…
Wow! So nice of her to cook soup for me at this EARLY hour?

To my surprise, it was not soup but GLUE!!
My mum actually took the trouble to boil starch! So CREATIVE!

Hmm... On the other hand, I prefer using my favourite slide-on BIC stick than this home-made watery glue, worrying that the liquid would cause unsightly patches on the papers.

But... I guess I had to give in to my perfectionism at this hour... So there I was, using the hot glue to continue my pasting...

I worked from 1a.m. to 7a.m. to plot the game strategy, cut the papers, and paste them on the papers! 20 strips, with 7 colors each. Hard work!!!

On seeing the results, I was very satisfied!

Probably you might be curious on how to play the game…

There are many flexible variations!

Here is a simple one…

Each team has to memorize a 10-color sequence within 15 secs. After which, each player has to step on the correct color sequence while those waiting for their turn are NOT SUPPOSED to watch/ help. The fastest team, with all members successfully memorized the color sequence, WINS!

Dazed by the different colors... the teams saw "rainbow" and took quite a while to complete the game! Phew! Not easy as I think!

Henderson Wave!

Our subzone is playing station games at Mount Faber this Sun! Gonna be FUN!!!

Last Sun, we had a combined subzone event at Expo.

Harvesting!

We had a good Easter celebration last weekend!

I'm happy that a lot of the members participated in different ways.

Giant Edward plucked up courage to act in Easter drama "The Final Solution". I think he did a GREAT job! His lines touched my heart. Very heart-felt!

Charming Yan Ming acted as prince in CCH drama! I'm waiting for the DVD to be out!

Ariel was helping out in Attributes while Sarah, Joe and Xiao Lu ushered in multiple services!

With concerted effort, the cg brought 30 friends! And many members were watching the Easter drama for the very 1st time! Working hard in ret now...

A few weeks back, I come across an article which struck a chord in my heart. It really encourages and cheers me on!

A very WISE man speaks...

"The value of a language is its usefulness, not just in Singapore, but also in the wider world. If you speak Hokkien or Cantonese, you reach some 60 million in Fujian and Taiwan, or about 100 million in Guangdong and Hong Kong. With Mandarin, you can speak to 1,300 million Chinese from all provinces in China."

"Did you watch the Beijing Olympics Opening? I was there. I was watching the reactions of the foreign leaders and I knew that they knew this is a country that is going to rise." - MM Lee
