Hidden 'Dragoness' and Crouching 'Tigeress'


Today we had a test run of some of the telematches that we are going to play on this coming Nov 10, 2007 with ten other churches. Several things needed to be worked out in terms of timing and the practical running of the matches. Needless to say, we bravely volunteered our EY for the task of testing and commissioning of the games. And of course, our EY also bravely answered the call. Little do we know that in the midst of the games, we have discovered our own "hidden 'dragoness' and crouching 'tigeress'" Let us set the scene for you

One of the game that we tested was a balloon tossing game. The objective is to toss a water filled balloon to a team member standing about 2 arms length behind. So it was a wee bit difficult toss over the head to the back. And of course for those who are wondering, we filled the balloon to a fair bit size and soaked it in soap water just to make things interesting because with our capable youths, a straight forward toss of balloon would put them to sleep. So the game proceeded with much fun as none of the teams managed to complete a throw, that is to toss the balloon from one member to another until they reached the last member. On one of the toss, our 'kung fu' expert (pictured) eyed an oncoming balloon that was soaring a bit high due to an over eager toss from her team mate. Knowing that the balloon was heading away from her, she leaped up with a twirl (did we mention that she was also a ballet dancer as well) and snatched the balloon with both her hands. A superb save that (for the football fanatics) even Peter Cech would find it hard to match. Alas, her strength was too strong that the minute her hands caught the balloon, it exploded in a spectacular burst. We of course took note of her prowness and for the rest of the games, deferred to her most of the time while we thought of what her hands could do to our heads. Be warned
