Upcoming Events and Other Updates

The Children's Hour Chinese New Year Dinner is this Saturday. Check the upcoming events at the bottom of the blog (purposely wanna train you all to check our mini bulletin board =P). Anyway, the youth are cordially invited to go, and so food will be prepared for us! Yay! I think it's 7.30pm, but I'll confirm it and correct the Mini Bulletin Board (hey this name ain't half bad) if it's wrong ya. Tse Shuen will be leading the singspiration for the event, and so it'll be very appreciated if you guys who're experts in Chinese can help her with the CNY songs. Please sing loud loud k, so can cover for the kids who don't sing =P

It's been announced that the election's going to be held on March 8, meaning it clashes with our Saturday Games Day for
DMSJ. Therefore, after much consideration, the adults have decided to call off the afternoon session (we usually have team-building & icebreaker games in the afternoon), and just have the Fellowship Night instead. However, I just received word from Uncle Rodney that the SAGC and DGC folks have assured us that they will be here early. So it's on. Dots. Now have to crack head to plan games to accommodate probably 100 people and hunt around for a big field in tiny state. Sharma and Shuen are in charge of the Saturday session, and they've decided to get all 4 churches to present a 5-10 min item each after the singspiration. There might be a game or two, and SAGC will take the Message Session afterwards. Uncle Philip Lim's the Quizmaster this year! (he won't answer any of my questions on Judges =.= betul-betul accountant. tsk) Our judge for this year will be Shuen.

For those who haven't attended a DMSJ Quiz, lemme just give a brief overview of this annual big event.

There are 4 churches participating in the Quiz: Daya Gospel Centre (DGC), MGC (that's us!), Shah Alam Gospel Centre (SAGC), and Johor Bahru Gospel Centre (JBGC). A different book, either from the Old Testament or New Testament, is picked for the Quiz every year. Each church sends a judge to sit at a table each to read out the answers of the participants and make sure they don't copy each other's answers or have hidden answers somewhere up their sleeves. There're 3 main participants from each church, 1 reserve, and 2 floor members. There're dunno how many questions for each participant la, and 2 each for the 3 floor members (including reserve). After individual questions, there is the group session, where the participants from the same church gather together to answer as a group. The floor members basically answer True / False questions (sometimes quite hard wei,
don't play play~). Usually each church makes up a cheer for the Quiz. Usually. Our cheer 2 years ago was:
MGC Boleh-eh-oh-eh, oh-eh-eh-oh-eh!
A seruan to all MGC-ians out there (especially ex-MMU-ians who promised to be back =D) - Let's unite for this major event! MGC boleh kan? *imagines crowd cheering*

=D It's kind of hard to explain everything here. You really have to be there to truly experience it. Preparing for the Quiz is always tough, but in the end, we always end up the happy underdogs of the quiz ^_^" Yup, again, I repeat, MGC's semangat:
Kalah tak per, janji ada gaya!
