Event : The title says it.
Date : 12th December 2010
Place : MCA Hall, OUG
Comments : Hosted by the St Jude BEC in OUG. Was there as "balloon helpers" [lol!!]
Yup.
My Bible Knowledge exam was in another... 4 day's time.
On the 16th December 2010.
[Thursday]
Where was I on the 12th December [Sunday]?
I was in my aunt's house.
No, not studying.
Not like Thailand... where less distraction = quality time studying.
In fact, I was there... blowing balloons.
And enjoying every moment of scaring my aunt out of her skin with balloons.
[It was the first time I heard that she was afraid hated balloons.]
I guess I was enjoying it too much, though D:
I had to stop when she said,
"Stop! Afterwards in the car, the balloons will pop, and I will scream!"
*laughs*
Really, that totally cracked me up ;D
Okay, so you know that my aunty is a very generous person.
See what she baked for the party;
O.O!!
These are made from the FINEST cocoa powder, I assure you!
It was DAMN deli!!
Okay, these were not for the party...
it was to eat at home.
But it was the BEST chocolate chip cookie batch that she made! ;9
We [sis and I] went to her house around noon, I think, after church.
Then we bid Dad goodbye and blew some balloons [until she told us to stop], then we waited for the clock to show us "4 p.m."
When it did, sis and I went off to the MCA Hall where we found Ping Pong players.
Oh man!!
Some were shirtless...
Trust me, you do not wanna see old men half-naked =.=!!
GAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!
GAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!
*runs away*
Apparently, the Ping Pong players were told by the MCA management that their rental hour finished at 5 p.m.
Our party started at 6 p.m.
=.=!!
Of course, we were given an empty hall with no deco...
or any indication that Christmas was around the corner.
Ouch.
At once we got working.
I think I blew quite an amount of balloons while one aunty tied them tight, and sis tied them to the strings. [Okay, I'll admit!! I didn't go using all my breath! I had the help of a foot air-pump to blow the balloons. Yes, after dunno how many balloons, my skin hurt T^T]
It was for the goodwill of helping, no complaints there.
When we were done, it was 5 p.m.
*phew*
And, we were given dirty chairs to use.
and limited tables =.=
Geez.
So, enough of the preparations.
It's picture time! [@ 7 p.m.]
Seated guests.
Most of them were orphans.
hm...
Notice the two strips of balloons?
Yeah, my sis, an aunty and my hard work.
There were a pair found at most windows =P
Time to eat!!
Buffet-style!
Eating admist Christmas music playing all the way from Rome.
Carolling with the kids xD
They were all quite lively!!
One of the cupcake.
YUMMY!!
See the deco? It's called 'MARZIPAN".
It's almond paste, usually tasteless, for the non-sweet tooth people xD
After everyone had their full, the band played some Christmas carols, while I took photos of the people who came :D
Yes, I was balloon blower and camera-woman that day xD
After that, some games were organized.
Winners had each a prize o.o
Some pictures to show you what the games were...
Explaining the Eating the Apple using a Stick!
The ones behind the one with the stick can eat the apple.
They were not supposed to turn around!
All of them were cheating xD
Next, Ping Pong Ball in a Spoon.
She-Reen, remember this game? :D
They disappeared so fast!!
I was lucky to get this shot!
You know how quick they were? x.x
Aunt : *explaining the rules*
This game is similar to the Ping Pong Ball in Spoon game, just that it uses a straw for the spoon, and rubber band for the ball.
See? They ran too fast x.x
It was difficult to catch up with them D:
The next game was for the kids under 10 years of age.
Similar to the Apple Eating Contest... only the kids were given donuts.
I don't have any pics of this game... cause sis asked me to hold the stick so she can eat the donut.
Yeah, she wanted to unofficially compete with the under 10 =.=
Then came the last game.
Which my sis dragged me into it =.=
So I gave the camera to my uncle xD
In the end, we were both separated into 3 groups...
and sis and I were in different groups.
Sis was in the 1st group and I was in the 3rd group.
Was sort of reluctant, actually.
In my group, there were about... 6 of us.
And when my Aunt asked each of the groups to pick a leader, everyone pointed at me @.@
Okay...
I became the "catcher", while my team mates were "throwers".
The Throwers were blindfolded, and were given 2 Ping Pong Balls each...
They had to throw the Ping Pong Balls, and the Catcher had to catch the balls in a fishing net.
You think the net is big?
HAH!
Ever entered a fish shop and asked the shopkeeper to take certain fishes from the aquarium?
Do you know what net he/she uses?
THAT net.
Yes, the small, green net -.-
The one with a shallow base of a net and a long handle -.-
*sigh*
At least I wasn't blind-folded!!
Preparing for the game...
Sis was a Thrower xD
I was a Catcher.
In a different group.
See that net? Yup, that's the one xD
But it was the LOL!!-est moment that night.
My sis dragged me to join this game.
In the end, my team won the game, beating her team by one ball.
ONE PING PONG BALL!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
xD xD xD
Okay, after that, it was present time!
The kids all had prezzies given out to them.
My sis and I were given each a Christmas prezzie, too!
[I have no idea what it was. I left my prezzie in my aunt's house]
Giving out the presents!
After that, a prayer was said, and we all went home.
The next day, I was brought home [sadly.]
And started drilling The Acts of the Apostles into my brain.
Pacing up and down the room.
To this day, I still have no idea what my prezzie/prize is.
They are still sitting under my aunt's giant Christmas Tree!!
