Kingdom Culture

The session started off with an old favourite or rather traditional icebreaker called Switch where injustice was done when I was picked "randomly" to be the center person. For those who are new to the game I shall explain to you. The game involves people switching chairs with your neighbors and the flow changes everytime the game master said "switch". The center person will have to quickly find a chair before it gets taken. Fun huh? Then the person who did not switch his chair (depending on the flow) will have to take the center spot. I am proud to say that I survived that game. MUAHAHAHA!!!

Worship session led by simon yau, annitah and agnes was great. Guess there was no uniformity in colors this week. haha...should try purple. it makes you stand out. Just kidding.

Pastor Mark was the speaker of the day and he is one funny guy who answers to ananth/mark depending who is calling him. HAHA!! He brought forward points that gives you a nudge and tell you to wake up (my personal opininon) He also mentioned what does it mean being under God's lordship. Powerful stuff. There is plenty more he mentioned but I don't think I can type it all here but fortunately there are videos. So do not fret. It will be uploaded soon.

C ya this coming Friday. :)

Girl Talk, Guy Talk :)

What do I have to say about Girl Talk,Guy Talk besides it being a little embarassing because I mistaken our wonderful speakers, Adrene and Joshua, as students. The best thing about it is they introduced themselves as engineering and business students. I even made them come to the front and introduce themselves! Well it is probably my fault as well because they look as young as I am (bet there is no arguments there, right?). Anyone could have mistaken them as students right?

As usual, Mark came up with a rather interesting icebreaker which requires plenty of brawn, an area where the girls are quite challenged. Guys on the other hand had too much brawn which resulted in Iggy Goh having to eat yummy Twisties upside down. Wow!!! I hope you have the pictures Kimberley. HAHA!!

The worship session was awesome. It reminded me again how God was always there in times of trouble and need. I would like to comment the worship team for a job well done. God delights in the praises of his people so lets keep on improving to serve him better.

Adrene(hope I am spelling it right) kicked off the session with a question and answer icebreaker which is rather fun especially seeing your friends picking between yes, no and maybe in response to the questions given. All of us had a great time of laughter. The guys later relocated to room 103 with Joshua to have our "heart to heart talk" while the girls remained in room 104 with Adrene.

The sessions we had in the guys side were educational and I am quite sure it is the same in the girls side. I am going to reveal a little bit of what we discussed(since there is no censorship board here...MUAHAHAHA!) We discussed everything from relationships and it's challenges, commitments (supposedly every guys nightmare...girls any problem?), boundaries, how God should be the center of the relationship, respect and much more. We also have short debates about different opinions and viewed relationships in both spiritual and logical point of view.

I had a wonderful time and I believe those who attended would have to. I hope to see all of you this Friday. We are going to have another awesome time. Tata!

GIRLS?! and GUYS?!!

I must say that today's session was something different. Interesting. Amazing. Personally, I learnt a few things be it from the Bible or just listening to people’s opinion. For those who attended CF today, I hope that you gained some insights about yourself and the opposite sex! :)

Well, CF started off with a game conducted by our game master of the day – Mr. Mark Hwang! (a.k.a. Indon-Indian – inside joke:D) It was a pretty interesting game. Difficult to explain the game but it involves eating and hurting one another’s forearms! Hahah…It was definitely fun la..

We were divided into 2 groups - guys and girls. Apparently, the girls couldn’t carry out the game well, they forgo-ed it! Ishhhh!!! Hahaha. Anyway, we managed to look for the opposite-of-win team! And, we had a on-the-spot-hand-picked group leader! He was to eat the remaining Twisties while his group members carried him upside down!. Poor Iggy Goh.. You should’ve seen his face! Super red!

After the game, we had an amazing time worshiping God. I myself was taken aback by the worship team. They did great though there is still room for improvement. But all in all, kudos people! And nothing beats the fact that it was God, who was leading the team. Awesome!

We then had an ‘ice-breaker’ session done by the FES people, Joshua and Adrene. They did a great job with that. We were all laughing our heads off. And you could see people like Iggy Charles, Joshua Kok, and more who were the usual upfront people, trying to hide behind everyone else, to avoid questions from Adrene. Hilarious!

Here are some of the questions asked:
Are you single?
Do people date for fun?
Are you desperate?
Is it possible for a guy and a girl to be the best of friends without being in a relationship?
Is it ok to date a few people before marriage?
Do you think marriage is important?
People get married because they have nothing better to do. (yes?no?maybe?)
Are girls complicated?
Are guys too relaxed?
Do you want to get married?

And many more :D

Anyway, after the so-called ice breaker, Joshua spoke a lil’ on WHAT MAN and WOMAN is, and used the Bible for reference (Genesis 1).

Later, we separated the guys and girls into 2 different rooms. The girls stayed and the guys moved to the next room. We had about 15 girls so we sat in a circle, and we started sharing our thoughts and views on different aspects of a teenage girl's life. Well, I definitely cannot tell u in detail, what we discussed about. But it definitely covered the topics on BOYS, relationships, and dressing. We got to know each other’s perspective on certain topics. It was pretty interesting. I had a good time listening :)

And we, being typical girls, ended late! Haha…Why typical girls? Don’t u know, girls, in general, can talk AND listen well? :D (Btw, I’m not a sexist ok!) ;) ;)

Anyway, we ended CF with a song “Better Than Life” and an altar call for those who needed prayer.

Oh, what about the guys, u ask? Come visit this site again, next week! Andrew will explain more about it to u! :)

Anyway, I don’t have much to say anymore. So, I shall let the pictures do the talking!

The Girls in Action!

Guys?! (will always be guys! *shake head*)

The supposedly PINK-GUYS!

Well, there are more pictures. Visit http://www.icf-pics.blogspot.com/ to view more of 'em! :)

God Bless You!
Have a great Week! ;)

F.U.N. fun? wo hooo

lol well, it is in a way fun. That friday was covered with games and enjoyment. Despite the messiness of the program, I believe many were satisfied with the activities. At least none when back empty handed, I guess.


It started with a prayer led by Victor(me). Followed by the worship session led by Kimberley.
Problems do arises most of the time. Ya, we had problem with the lcd projector. Thank God it is functioning while the songs are played. It had worried me since I am not able to settle that problem, moreover I had to set up the guitar to play.

Worship was practically awesome though musicians made mistakes. I did gosh embarassing. Anyway, the atmosphere was great. Everyone seems to be on cloud 9 ... haha okay thats just to resemble how we enjoy being in God's presence.

Games. First game, it has no name, but here's how it goes. Everyone is divided into three groups. Each groups contains 10 people, according to that day. the game goes when the game master says a number one after each. What the participants have to do is to, stand up according to the number. The number after each number represents the number of people that has to stand after the previous number of people has stand. Fun and exciting but this game is hard to control with only one person to oversee all.

Next would be the fashion show with newspaper and cellophan tape. Each group is given two 'theSun' newspaper and a cellowphan tape. What is needed is to dress up two models and then present them with a theme and some explanation. It ended up that many has high level of creativity designing the two models.

There are prizes for winning team. Prizes of chocolates. lolz...

Alright to conclude, it was really wonderful. Check out this weeks theme and activities."Guy Girl Talk" ... interesting?

Then come join us at INTI COLLEGE 1~3pm at room 104... C ya then.
