Wide Game - April - Spiderwick

HBC has been conducting an event called Wide Game on the field in front of their church each month to reach out to the local youths around the area. In April, our youth group decided to join their event. The theme is taken from the movie Spiderwick Chronicles.

We gathered in HBC. Amos, HBC's Youth Pastor, greeting everyone. Welcome Welcome !!
2 groups were formed and each team picked their respective leader to represent them. Mark called out for a challenger. Sukumaran answered that call.

Amos, with his assistant, Malar, tries to explain the game to everyone. Some scratch their head as they look to their fellow teammates for answers. It's okay guys and girls. We'll just learn as we play.

The TEAMS !!!!

The Goblins and the Ogre King.

Faeries, pixies, brownies and all their magical kin.

As the battle for Spiderwick's Chronicles is about to begin. (For the benefit of those who didn't watch the movie, Spiderwick's Chronicles is a book containing all the secrets of the magical folk which the Ogre King is trying to steal. In obtaining this knowledge he will become invincible.)

The Goblins plot their mischief ....

... while the goodly magical folk ...... PRAYS !!!!!

Oh and one more thing ... lets not forget the ever-oh-so-handsome-oh-so-evil .... DINOSAUR !!!! Anyone caught and eaten by this creature will become ....

... depressed ... loose all colour(fade away) ... loose all willpower to live ... no mood ... wallow in a pit of despair ... ending up in the hospital to be revived. Or wallow in a pit of despair. It's really up to the person. Hahaha !!!!! (below is an example of what happens to you when the dinosaur catches you. scary huh?)

So let the games .... BEGIN !!! Suku started off by trying to pick up some chicks. He later told me her name was Yuon Sue and she's Korean.

Yin Hooi ..... was trying to catch any illegal dealings between the players. "Show me what's in your hands," she says. Unfortunately these two were clean, yet she still arrested them and threw them into prison. EVIL !!!!

Suku once again trying to pick up more chicks. "You see that Dinosaur there? I can take 'im out in one blow if you want me to." *flexs muscles* "Just like that."

As you can see ... everyone was quite dispersed on the field. Many lives were sacrificed to steal the book. And many more were sacrificed to protect the book. I think the Dinosaur was brutally murdered so James lost his job.

Finally the game came to an end. We gathered around Amos to hear the results. Keep your fingers crossed, goblins and faeries.

The Magical Folk prevailed by keeping the Book safe from the hands of the evil goblins and their nasty Ogre King. Congrats.

But the evil Goblins still insisted for a picture to be taken to commemorate this event. Smile ~

After that everyone gathered together to take a group picture. HBC and FPBC alike !! We aren't so different after all. Brothers and sisters in Christ.

Hip hip !! Hurrayyyy !! Unfortunately some jumped too fast as usual and some were too heavy to jump. It was a very fun event for all of us. Kudos to Amos for coming up with such an interesting fun game.

gREDt Expectations ! Theme : RED.

Not too long ago in a far far far far away galaxy. On a little tiny rock called Earth. There were .....


They got together one Friday night. 2 factions were formed.

An example of what will happen to the losing faction ..... an eternity of servitude !!!!! (juz kidding)

It was a tough battle. Both factions tried hard to get all 4 seats of power. No hostages were left alive. It was an all out WARRRRRRRR !!!!!

Ummm ... somehow some defected and the stronger faction won ??? Hmmm yeah ... they won ... since i'm in the pic. Muahahahahaha.

Let me introduce to you the most diabolical game invented. It involves water, sugar, and lemons.

Very dangerous indeed.

Take a look at what it does to you. Look at how stoned he is. Look at how high the people at the back are.

Effects of this diabolical concoction called 'The Lemonade' --> Huddling together laughing in a corner ... dancing randomly .... breaking entry into the church auditorium(no wonder they need an alarm now) .... makes you wanna go RaRW !!!

Yup. It was fun. I think this team won some game.

And they say "Save the best for last." It rang true for this night. The cookies were ingenius as they were delicious. More dangerous concoctions. Twisties and Cheezels. The night cant get any better. Top it off with a cake and birthday celebrations for several youths.

"The Fellowship of the Youth". A tale greater than that of "The Fellowship of the Ring".





One big-happy-red-family at the end of the day. Cant get any better than this.

Oh wait ... what is this? This is one brave young lad indeed. This is the side-effect of living with 6 sisters. Next will be his fingernails.

Mall Hunt

Due to old age and failing memory, the poster has forgotten the date ..... but nevertheless ... one of our youth outings recently was a Detective Game-Mall Hunt. These are some of the pics of our little adventure. Enjoy.

The night started out with everyone gathering and Daniel explaining the game.

Look at their witty-sly-cunning faces. Don't trust them. "The Suspects".

Some teams ventured into Cold Storage.

Others were misled to enter a bookstore.

Some people craved for sushi.

Others just went shopping.

Finally!! Some people actually working hard to investigate the crime.

A lonely suspect's cry : Where are my detectives? I'm in MPH not Popular Bookstore.

We know it's you, James!!!!

After a tough day's work. We adjourned to Mc D's. Detectives need to eat too.

And Daniel again with more explainations .... OH SHUT UP ALREADY !! WE WANT FOOD !!!

And the night ended with us celebrating one of our beloved youth's birthday. Unfortunately someone stole all his fries. This is Clement by the way !!! :P

God Bless You All...And We Love ya all....

Verse 1
And now the weak say I have strength
By the spirit of power that raised Christ from the dead
And now the poor stand and confess
That my portion is ? and I'm more blessed

Pre-chorus
Let now our hearts burn with a flame
A fire consuming all for your Son's holy name
And with the heavens we declare
You are our king

Chorus
We love you Lord, we worship you
You are our God, you alone are good

You asked your Son to carry this
The heavy cross our weight of sin

I love you Lord, I worship you
Hope which was lost, now stands renewed
I give my life to honor this
The love of Christ, the savior king

Verse 2
Let now your church shine as the bride
That you soar in your heart as you offered up your life
Let now the lost be welcomed home
By the saved and redeemed those adopted as your own

Ending
I give my life to honor this
The love of Christ, the savior king
