hi, this whole week was VBS. tommorow is the last day, and then there will be this performance thing.

today we went to botanic gardens the whole morning. first we went to this hut thingy and had bible study. then we went to this big patch of grass and played some games. first game was 3 legged race. i paired with nicole. we won the first time.=) second round we did it in groups. our group lost. =( oh well...
second game was this egg toss thing. we had to toss an egg to our partners and then both of us would have to take a step back. then toss it again. the egg broke on nicole's arm, good thing not the shirt. another girl had an egg break right at her neck down there.. then we went to the toilet to wash up.
after that was the break. there was sandwiches and cupcakes. i wasnt too hungry so i took the cupcake, it's not that i really eat sandwiches anyway. we were given water bottles each. this guide guy called tim kept saying that i wont be able to get water on him cos there was this water bomb game which we were going to play later. i got quite irritated and it was tempting, so i poured the water from my water bottle on him. he looked at me and then he said: no! i said you wont be able to get me with the water bomb. alright. he splashed me back with his bottle. he told me that if i hit him with a water bomb, he would buy me a coke. =)

after that, there was this game that we had to get all the balls from the bag into these buckets. it was guides against preteens. the guides had to try to catch us. if they did then we would have to start from the beggining again. the guides had this certain place which they could run in. then after we passed them we had to stand at this line and throw the ball into the bucket from a certain distance.
then there was this dizzy-ish game. it was a relay, we were split into 4 groups. we had to run to the 'noodle' and then turn 10 rounds with it on your head. like you can hold it to your head. but it's really dizzy-ish... then have to run back and tap the next person's hand. i ran to the wrong line, so dizzy! nicole ran in the wrong direction! and then she fell and then had to run back..
next we played this water bomb thing. it's not really like to get wet, i mean, you dont really get wet. stand in a semicircle, pass the water bomb down and see how many you can collect at the end, unbroken. our team only got 2, out of 10. =(
then there was this go-cart race thing. there was this hill thing and then we had to go down on this car thing. split into two teams. the first person to get down one point, the first person back up 1 point. our team was like 7 points to 2 points. i think we won that game. i'm not sure, it just kept going on, and then the boys, which were playing the water bombs, came back... me and nic went to get our bags, we 'abandoned' the group. another girl came too, i think her name was sara.

we 'weeded' the garden. haha. i weeded alot. =) helping the community. lols. we were just bored. after a while, all the other people came charging down the hill, apparently there was a competion between the guides and the kids and the loser had to have all the remaining water bombs thrown at. the guides had lost. we made a circle and they were in the middle. i managed to hit tim with a water bomb. yay! free coke for me! =) he gave me a dollar in the bus heading back to church. had to go straight to the sauctuary then go down to B1 for snacks after dismissal.
snacks was cup noodles. =) unhealthy, but once in a while. i mean the last yeat i had it was probably.. like last year? the last VBS.
tommorow's the last day. seems like so short! =)

hm. i see, this post is long.. haha
