ULTIMATE!!!

Last Sunday, 16 August 2009...the Ipoh BUG organized an ultimate frisbee competition match between EY and the Cornerstone Youths. It was to be a series of games, 3 games in total. Each game consists of 15 minutes halves with a 5 minutes break in between. Each team consist of 7 members, 5 males and 2 females....

We actually started the game around 530pm and due to the time constraints, we only managed to finish 2 games out of three...The results? Well...

First game, EY won 7 - 4

Second Game, Cornerstone won 10 - 5

All in all, both the teams played their hearts out. Spectacular touch downs, awesome defensive blocks, acrobatic leaps were the norm of the day. As it is with all competitive games, there were some tension between the players when things did not go their way. But in the end, the better team won. But this is not the end. The stage has been set. One win each, the next could decide the Champions...Are you ready?...

ULTIMATE!!!

Well now, the third and final game...will be played this weekend...

EY Meeting 8 Aug 2009

"You give and take away, You give and take away. My heart still choose to say, Blessed be the Name of the Lord"...Matt Redman, Blessed be the Name of the Lord.

Lately for our EY meeting the numbers have been dwindling. From a high of 30 plus, we now numbered about 10 plus. I thought that with the new facilities, the EY will now be heading to new heights. What a reminder to me that the facilities do not make the fellowship. Not only that we have not grown, we have shrunk in size. If this were to continue, it won't be long before we have to 'tutup kedai' as it were.

Then, I am reminded of the song by Matt Redman, Blessed be the Name of the Lord. One of the verses stated that the Lord blesses and the Lord takes away. But through it all, the song writer still praises the Name of our Lord. Now, I am not saying that the conditions of EY is now in God's hands (which it is) and we just sit back and wait for the Lord to bless again. But I am now reminded that maybe this drop in numbers is to remind us not to take things for granted. Our passion and ethusiasm for the work and to continue to strive to follow after our Lord should not waver and fall. The fact that the numbers in EY grew to 30 plus does not mean that the numbers will remain. So we should all check ourselves to see if we have strayed, especially those of us in the 'advisors' role, with me being the chief culprit.

Now, though the numbers were few, we still continue to have our meetings. The recently concluded one was led by Ricky Tan (the next chairperson???...hahaha...chill la bro...you were the chairperson last saturday. No hidden meanings...wink wink) We learnt about community and what it means to be in a family and uphold one another. Enuff' said, pictures will paint a thousand words....and of course show proof...

We began the meeting with a singing session led by Wan Li

Some of us did not sing with gusto, and a few reminders by Wan Li (like asking us to stand up and then stand on the chairs) promptly opened up our vocal chords. But alas, like some who continue to rebel, there is one who continued to be stubborn. And as all sat, one remained standing.
(Don't want to say who, but the picture tell a thousand words...as well as show proof)

We then had a short icebreaker of tying the leg together using one hand. Winner was Kevin Koon

To illustrate the point of needing to work together, the solo work became a team work but unfortunately the illustration falls apart for Kevin Koon, who promptly became last when asked to work as a team. maybe the partner was a factor???

It was then followed by the study.

BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD
