We started the activity with prayer at 2.30pm and there were many youths that came. so encouraging... then we came together for some ice breakers.. we had to find our grps... we randomly drew slips of paper which had a chinese character on it. without talking or showing each other our papers, we were supposed to like, act out our word... i was like WAD?!? and i got the word Fu.. you know.. the one they always "fan dao" on decorations coz it's supposed to signify prosperity falling down from heaven... yeh so i took my slip of paper and went up to the first person i saw... Qiang.. and he tried to make a money sign.. so i thot maybe his was like "qian"... money... so i moved on to Alicia pua and i took my paper, put it into a diamond shape and turned it upside down. she immediately read my mind and we were the first to grp together... from then on, we jus kept flipping our paper to get the rest of the grp. haha it was super fun.
Then after that, we grouped up and had to come up wif our own 4 character chinese cheng yu... i was like. wat... hahaha my grp was alicia P, Priscilla, Seraphina, Debz, Jenies, Qiang and me... and we were like. oh man. aha qiang kept embarrassing himself wif wrong chinese words... haha thankfully my 3 years of poly did some good and i came up wif the cheng yu... we changed the "shen ti jian kang" to "shen di tian shang" which is like, "God, Earth, Heaven, Appreciate" so we crapped our way into saying it's like we should appreciate God's creation. HAHAHA..s o funny.
Then it was my turn to lead the activity. so i came up and told them to close their eyes and we teleported back to ancient china.. into the southern province of china... where there lived a great Emperor... Shu Lun Huang Shang [a.k.a Aaron]... and he talked in a very good chinese accent from a script i prepared for them... so the YAFers acted out a scene about how the Emperor needed them to do an art piece and stuff.. so after the super entertaining skit, we started work. my grp "FU" decided to do sumthing related to our cheng yu.. so we did the 6 days of creation. we were given stuff like straws, ang baos, glue, markers...
We did quite a good job and when we went to present our art piece, i used a chinese accent and started joking around.. about how our grp was "FU"ll of creativity.. and how Aaron was a wonder"FU"l emperor... and he replied that we should stop trying to "FU"ll him. haha it was a holler! :)
Yeh, then they judged and took pictures... then we talked bout how we should spend CNY wif our family and the bad stuff bout it... like gambling, strive for wealth and luck... and how as Christians we should respond to that. Debz gave a very good challenge to the YFers on how this time was a good time to be a testimony and to share our faith and beliefs. :) brilliant.
yup, then we moved downstairs for LOU HEI!!! yu sheng la. haha... yeh, it was a crazy time... we recited our cheng yus when we put the ingredients in, instead of chinese sayings of luck and prosperity. haha then the church theme, yf theme and vision and finally got lou-hei-ing and eating. ahha.. here's the pic b4 it got messy. haha..
overall it was a really good activity and i was so so so glad to see the Comm working so well together and bonded.. the yf was such [and still is] an encouragement to me. i hope this can continue on. :)
