pre-dmsj 2009.

(it's almost the same as the one in the mgc blog. hey, there are only so many ways to write the same thing ok.)

one fine Bible study night at my place about two weeks ago, we had this conversation going on at the supper table:

uncle rod: "MGC wrong also never mind wan. if we win, it's a bonus."
kah wei: "if we win, it's a miracle."
everyone: -_-!

well, i was the trainer for dmsj 2009. again. although this time i was also the participant. again.

we didn't actually plan for me to be a participant. i'd gone round picking other people, carefully avoiding my own siblings who ironically became participants anyway, since they've been plaguing the quiz for years themselves. then mum said:

it's all-star this year.
you three should go!
you know the meaning of all-star anot?

and then ah derk got called off to utar in kampar. T_T

and so that's how i became a five-time quiz participant.

aih. don't get me wrong. i don't resent being a participant. it's just that when i was preparing the participants' profiles for sagc, i had to include every participant's previous quiz participations:

2000 - floor member
2001 - main participant
2002 - main participant
2003 - main participant
2004 - main participant
2005 - floor member

to add on to that:

2006 - quiz trainer
2007 - quiz trainer
2008 - quiz trainer

do you or do you not see that??!!!

i devoted my entire secondary school life to this quiz! gahhhh!

somemore somebody had to not only announce the floor participations although i told him not to, he also couldn't stop himself from commenting on them. i.e. "wah, she's the most-joined participant."

when dad told me in 2006 that i shouldn't join anymore, i didn't understand why. NOW i do. perfectly so.

sigh.

it's no wonder that although i reluctantly drag myself to dmsj every year, i continue going and getting myself involved year after year. i honestly don't know what i'll do if i didn't have dmsj to occupy my time every year for the past 9 years.

anyway. being the super veteran queen of dmsj, i routinely set off to download the NIV version of the prison epistles, since i gave my NIV Bibles away long long time ago.

-interlude-

eh you two fellas with my Bibles wan. got time take out and read k.

-end interlude-

i made notes which i later found to be uncannily similiar to dad's questions (i wonder if he peeked at my notes) although i flunked my fill-in-the-blanks questions in the individual rounds. later tell you why.

we'd joined so many times, we were pretty relaxed about it. sample:

coming up with a cheer was no big sweat too.

unfortunately, due to the recent fear of meningitis and swine flu...

30 May 2009 - 1++ pm

on the way there, shaun decided he'd take the bus to Golden Sands.

he waited.



and waited.

and then he concluded that there are no buses in PD.

sagc was very helpful and organized, methinks. they had people stand around outside to help point the way in and organize the parking system.

Isaac. it was a hot day ok.

as usual, mgc was the first in line for tea, of no fault of our own, but because the other churches hadn't arrived yet, and sagc was busy.

we were the first.
so yiao gui obedient.

the car-sickness i got on the way to PD was very helpful in calming my nerves. seriously. i was too nauseated to think about anything else.

no, i wasn't afraid of the quiz. i took part 6 years d ok.

i was as afraid as always of the fellowshiping part.

er.

i know potong stim, but i'll continue tomorrow. lols.

er er... stay tuned! ^_^
