13 July, 2008: The Gracel Chapel Luyang English Assembly Annual Family Sports Day! (that was long)

Well, another year has passed and it's the annual family sports day again.

I suppose it was more of a church event but since the church doesn't have its own blog yet, i'll blog down what we did that day.

It was drizzling. Suppozly gonna hold outdoor since the air'll be fresher according to Esther jiejie since she, Samuel, KaShing, Uncle Colin and Auntie Josephine were in charged (sorry if i left anyone unnamed) so we had in the hall.

Oh and before that some of the youths including yours truly went early around 3pm (the annual sports starts at 4pm) and played some floorball. Ivan and Edmond were there too. And so we only played for about 10 mins before the family sports thing started.

Ivan, Edmond, JeremyL, Wen Yi, Wen Yiing and I went to Giant where Likas Mart was and bought drinks after playing floorball (oh yea, Wen Yi and Wen Yiing were also there other than the Reloaded team) so i don't really noe what they did before at the beginning of the family sports day thing. Oh yea i now remember, they did Line Dance again as a warm-up.

So, trying again not to write a novel out of this, we were then divided into 6 groups: Red, Yellow, Blue, Brown, Purple and Pink, i think. And i won't gonna list out who were in the groups. I do noe there were 9-10 of ppl in each group.

1st game was a relay of 5 mini-telematches of racing against time as each team takes turn to play and the teams with shorter total time taken gets more points consisted of:
1. 3ppl: pickin 10 beans one by one out of a small circle container and put them onto the container's lid on this school desk so the 3 ppl each take turns (i don't really noe how to describe so i do hope who wasn there get i wat i'm talkin about).
2. 2 ppl: one blindfolded, one not. The one that's not sing Rasa Sayang and the one blindedfolded feed the other with a banana after the song while the one who sang's not allowed to move.
3. 3 ppl: each have to string 3 (i think) large paper beads and one big marble-like bead on a shoe string.
4. 1 person: have to put on a big shirt then button and unbutton it.
5. Everyone: Stand in an alphabetically order of their surnames.

2nd game was this onion-tied string for each team members to hold which 2 teams battle it out together to see who gets the most plastic balls into the floorball small goal posts in 3 mins (i think). It was quite frenzy as we were given this bunch of balls in the middle before the match start and then ppl just kept swingin and swingin. One remarkable thing was as JeremyL swung his the onion on his string flew off and SMACK! on Shelby's face.

and i can't remember if there was a 3rd game since it's quite a few days ago and my memory lately just aint tat good i think. So, the results for the top 3 teams is: 1st, Red. 2nd, Yellow (Greg, Wen Yi and I were in it) and..Purple, i think. Haha..

Here are some pics of Sidney with the prize (he's in Yellow too, along with Benedict and Uncle Chin: the whole father and sons team):
And..this short clip which i only was able to record just the very last part which i recommend who's reading, to watch:
