Today I went for a bridging event held by the Lower Sec section of my church.
It was very fun. We were first split into groups of 6-8 people. My group consisted of the group leader, Joshua, the over talkative guy, Samuel, another guy too quiet to remember, a really tall P6 girl, Charissa, and another P6 girl who has the same phone as me, Dorcus (sp?), a fellow female Sec 1, Jasmine, and me.
If not for the fact that the guy was the group leader, I'd probably only remember the girls and the Samuel kid's name.
So far, I know 3 Samuels. One that used to be my classmate, one that is my cousin, and one that goes to the same church and was in the same group as me. I just only realized that they have the same personality and they all don't wear glasses...
So we ate pizza first. Our group had a Hawaiian pizza and 3/8 of a Meat pizza (mostly beef). Because nobody wanted more, I consumed 2 slices of Hawaiian pizza and a slice of Meat pizza.
Well, it's Samuel's own fault that he went out to change when the Meat pizza came...
Anyway, the games were very fun. Our first station was H2, where we played the TOWEL GAME, in which we had to use only towels to transport a few objects one at a time. It's like the garbage bag game we tried in school during PE.
You place an object on the towel, the swing it so that it lands on the next towel.
We thought the game had started, so we rushed a lot. In the end, it was just a practice, and we fell on the floor laughing. Then for the rest of the games, we spent it laughing...
We lost the first 2 rounds, so we lost the whole game. It was the best of 3.
Next was H1. There we played some sort of a fishing game against my sister's group. We have 6 chairs for our use, and we must not touch the ground. If we do, we will have to have 1 less chair to use.
So, acting all leadery and making it so hard for me to not mention his name any more, Samuel went first with the fishing rods to hook up the cans.
I accidentally passed a chair that hit him, so we had a chair reduction. It was so cramped. There was once where Dorcus, Samuel and I had to squeeze onto just 1 chair...yuck.
And I haven't worked with a boy for a whole year...
We lost that one too, because we had trouble replacing the chairs back to their original position.
Then it was H4. It was catching while hopping on one foot. The rules are that we are to line up in a straight line diagonally, alternating betweens different teams. The catcher can only go in one direction and cannot cut through the line, but the runner can change direction AND cut through the line.
To make it a little easier, we were allowed to switch members by tapping another person. Once, I was so despo I just tapped a random person and almost fell one him. Good thing it turned out to be the group leader of my group...
We lost that too. 4 of our members got caught. I can just start laughing by remembering how it took only a few seconds, maybe 2, for Samuel to get caught...
The other team lost 2 members.
Then on to H3. It was a crazy game of soccer, I tell you. We had to put on goggles made of plastic cups. They slant to the side, and the small little hole at the bottom of the cup was almost useless.
So we wandered around blindly. I kicked the ball a few times, but they never landed at the goal...
I conclude that boys are much better at soccer, whichever kind, cuz in the first half which the boys played in, we scored 4 and the other team scored 5. The second half when the girls played, we scored 1 and the other team scored 6.
Aww man, we're pathetic.
Continuing, we went back to H4 where the games were cleared. Or was it H2? Either way, we sat in row according to our groups, and then the prizes were given out for the highest scoring teams.
While waiting for all the teams to arrive, I took out my notebook where I drew in and intended to draw something.
Beside me was Samuel (...), and then he pointed out that my drawings were very nice and Dorcus, on my right, agreed. It's pretty cool to see how reactions differ from those at school, those in church, and those at home.
Because I myself am very used to my drawings, I thought they were normal, but there could still be lots of improvements, but seeing how they all looked so amazed (as compared to those at school...), I was like: I'm told I'm good at drawing, but am I really this good?
Samuel tried to copy, but it turned out like a total mess. He couldn't even hold the pencil properly! I mean, he holds it as one would if he or she would die if they let go of the pencil...
How can anyone draw with such crazy pencil handling?
It turned out that his drawing had to depth, and his lines were fine with no difference in width. Heck, the hair didn't even look like hair, and the face shape...I don't even want to know. The glasses were just totally out of shape ovals connected by squiggly lines...
It looked like what I'd draw when I was, like, 4 or something.
The guy beside him said commented that there was a world of difference between the drawings...
I think he gave up...
After the prize presentation was over, I was pretty disappointed. I though we'd at least have a special acknowledgement for out enthusiasm...
Anwyay, Brother KaFei (commonly pronounced as KaFai), came through the door in his sports attire. Then Brother ZhiChao (commonly pronounced as ZiCao), pointed out that it was only after the game that he changed, and everybody started laughing.
Brother KaFei and Brother ZhiChao are best friends, and together they are the best comedians in Ignyte. Well, actually, Brother KaFei alone is enough to put a smile on the most emo person around...
Dorcus pointed my drawing out to Brother KaFei after we were dismissed, and I thought his reaction was pretty mild, so I didn't really expect it when he actually called me by my name and ask if I was going to join some design module in school.
I didn't know that if one could draw well one could design....
But my immediate reaction was: I can't believe someone actually remembers my name.
I don't really make a name for myself in church, I'm pretty much dormant.
Then my sis came over and the suddenly, Dorcus, my sis and I were in a small mini group and they were using their cell phone (I wasn't, I didn't really like using it). It was then that I noticed that Dorcus had the same phone as me.
I told her, "I have that phone too! My friend's grandmother also has it!" Then Samuel appeared out of nowhere in particular and started laughing at her and pointing at her phone.
Then I said in defence for Dorcus, "I have that phone too, you know." Somehow, I don't know why, he kinda sobered up.
Then Miranda came along. I called my sis mei and then Miranda was like so shocked that she was my sis. I really can empathize with them. I mean, my sis is so bimb. No way would I be her sister, right?
I remembered that someone else was surprised at that very same revelation. While going out, I told my sister, "I'm so surprised that someone even knows my name."
Then Samuel (again...) came up and said, "Hi, I don't know your name."
And I was like: What the heck is he doing here? and replied, "Bye. I don't know your name too."
Of course, that was a big fat lie. Who wouldn't know his name? I mean, he talks so much that he made the leader a wall flower!
Then we waited for my father at the foyer, and I decided to draw, but I couldn't think of anything at all!
I told my sister that the style of drawing was that of my favourite manga artist.
And it is! I love Kaori Yuki's style! It's so...beautifully gothic!
I laughed so much today my throat became sore...
