On 30 January 2011, the youths had a bbq + movie gathering at St. Columba's Parish Hall for some fun-filled fellowship with one another as we welcome the new year 2011! We had some games before the event started, followed by a short sharing by Ven. Solomon to encourage the youths and then proceeded to our movie session!
Listening to the instructions
Game on!
Say my name!
For the movie session, we turned the Parish Hall into a mini cineplex, using the church projector and our screen was the big white wall..hehe, and with about 40+ youths as audiences. The movie of the day was Despicable Me. This movie's about Gru, a crminal mastermind who uses a trio of orphan girls as pawns for a grand scheme, but then he finds himself profoundly changed by the growing love between them. It's funny, goofy & everyone could relate to the moral of the story which revolves around family, love, sense of belonging & purpose. A good watch indeed! The Parish Hall had never emitted that much noise before (especially those loud laughters from the audiences)!
After the movie, it's time for makan! Eventhough it rained very heavilly (with strong winds & all!), we managed to get the bbq done but half of our manoks have to be fried instead of panggang! Haha!
The Not-so-Junior Master Chef Bajeng & his chicks
..and sidekick Blackie the church dog, faithfully guarding the coals. Could you even tell the difference? :p
After dinner & mingling, next on the program was an exchange gift session among the youths...
Some received back-to-school gifts, though some are no longer students but
I guess it's also very suitable to be used at the office too. Haha.
By 8pm, its time to call it a day! Everyone had a great time and we hope to have more to come! :D
