DMSJ 2010: Update.

For the benefit of those who don't know, DMSJ stands for Daya-Melaka-Shah Alam-Johor Bahru. The DMSJ Quiz is an annual quiz among four churches: Daya Gospel Centre (DGC), Melaka Gospel Chapel (MGC), Shah Alam Cospel Centre (SAGC), and Johor Bahru Gospel Chapel (JBGC). First initiated in 2000, 2010 is the year of the 11th DMSJ Quiz. The venue of the Quiz is set in rotation among the four churches, this year being DGC's turn to host the Quiz.

For the first time last year, the Quiz was also a camp (all updates under "DMSJ"). And...

That was why I resisted all calls to go for Camp Cam last year! Buahaha.

MGC was the earliest to arrive! (DGC doesn’t count ok duh)

We hung around, talked to DGC-ians, had lunch,

...spilled Milo over shirts, almost got whacked by flying plates (not making this up), and…

downloaded Ruth & Esther! =D

DGC renovated the church not too long ago, and this is what it looks like:

Ook. That was just the washroom.


There weren’t the usual outdoor games this year (yay), probably because the Quiz was to be in the afternoon. We had a few indoor games, then the Quiz began.

And.

I have no photos.

Because!

I stuck my memory card into the space under the memory card slot, and so now I can’t get it out, and I couldn’t take many photos cuz my phone, when running on phone memory, takes pictures awfully slowly, and people kept moving or walking by whenever I wanted to take a good shot. T_T

Anyway, as to the results of the Quiz, this conversation with Olive may suffice:



Aha.

That aside, I really our contestants did very well, considering the fact that they forgot Naomi’s sons’ names and didn’t know how to spell “Orpah” on the Thursday before the Quiz. I think we (they) put up a decent fight, and probably only lost because of the many mathematical questions that were thrown very vigorously at us (them). Seriously, a lot of math questions. I would’ve died up there. *bah*

Next was Fun Nite!, which I didn’t take any photos of also *paiseh*, but it was different this year. Instead of the usual do-an-almost-impromptu-skit-of-a-passage-from-DMSJ-book, each group (6 groups this year) was given two pairs of chopsticks and two pairs of socks. In true Whose Line Is It Anyway? style, the groups did all sorts of things with the items that made my jaw drop not a few times.

I thought it was a pretty good idea, actually. With the usual skits, all we get are variations of one same story. With this new format, we get almost total diversity, which always makes for good fun. =)

Church at 8.30am, prize-giving ceremony, 





...photo-taking session, brunch, then the customary selling of T-Shirts!

DGC didn’t make their own shirts this year, so there were only two groups yelling marketing phrases that won’t work in the real world out there. i.e. “RM15! Early bird discount – RM20!” + “Buy SAGC shirt, get MGC shirt free!”

We had loads of help:


  

Also, there was this conversation going on:

Shaun>Shuen: "Clement looks like Spock."

Shaun>Shuen: "Jason Lee is his brother. He looks like Ah Zheng." 






Shaun: “They have another brother -  Linus Lee.”

Shuen: “Ooo... who does Linus Lee look like?”

Shaun: “Linus Lee.”


Anyway, that was DMSJ 2010. Thanks to all who supported us in prayer and presence! =D
