Friendship Day

Welcome back everyone!

Today we had our very own friendship day to commemorate the Friday before we leave for the Chinese New Year break. We had a slightly different meeting compared to normal today, as everyone who went can tell you.

We started off with a soulful worship session lead by Raymond Ow. Songs such as "Friend of God" and "Light of the World" were sung.



After that, we had an unusual game that was planned by Brian Chow called "Banana Futsal".

The Infamous bananas


The rules are similar to a normal futsal game. 2 5-man teams square off on a small court, and try to kick a football with our feet into each other team's goal. The only difference between that and what we played is that instead a "football", we used a tennis ball; instead of a "goal", we used table legs; instead of "kick", we had "use-banana-tied-to-string-in-between-legs-to-hit-ball".

Teams set!


The way it should be

Game ON!!


Later, we had a very special guest today. For the first time in ICF history, we had a MAGICIAN to perform/share with us.

Everyone, say hello to Zlwin Chew!




Here's a rough introduction. Zlwin Chew our magician for that day, who is only 20 years old and have invested an estimated amount of RM4000 on his magic.

How did he DO THAT!




Today, Zlwin had shown a number of magic *bleep*(i cant say tricks....Zlwin made a very clear point on that). With a couple of volunteers, he literally made the audience's mouth stay wide open. *gasp! and "What the h***" were quite audible, thank you.

At the end, Zlwin shared a final magic *bleep* that literally showered us, coupling that with a life testimony, he really gave us something to remember.

He later ended on a dissolving note with the song "Amazing Grace", and that was the end of that.

As next week is the Chinese New Year holidays, there will be no CF next Friday. We look forward to see all of on the Friday after that!!
