Youth Alive at the Piazza

IHMYC had a booth set up together with the other Youth Groups at the Piazza on 30th and 31st Dec 2006.

Ee.him.eeek people went around helping out with ushering as well as bringing others to the booth and explaining what IHMYC is all about. Brochures were given out and registration forms passed to interested youths to sign up.

The ee.him.eeek members twisted ballons into interesting shapes to give out. And we also had a fishing-trivia game where players had to answer questions after getting a number from the fish they fished out. A correct answer meant getting a yummy sweet from the ee.him.eeek basket. mmmm candy...

When the crowd was quite thin during mass, bored ee.him.eeek members were seen dueling each other with multi-coloured ballons, or doing funny things with the ballons which are, ahem, better left unsaid. Seems to be a nice accessory for the belt area.

Quite a number of youths signed up at the booth which is rather encouraging. Hope to see them on Sat.

Master got me working...


Die evil sith, DIE!



"Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."

Watching fish can be therapeutic...

Of food and friends (Makan/Info Night Thingie)

The current YC members gathered at 5pm in Mother Mary's Room. Introductions were made and the Ex-Co, headed by Juliana, presented to them more about IHMYC and the works, the dos and don'ts and also some interesting stuff which probably are better off unsaid. (i.e. Roy's special talents ;) ) The YCs also shared the experiences they had in their classrooms.

Forward to the end of the meeting, Justin and a few others went off to prepare the makan and drinks.

The first signs of Sec 3 confirmants appeared at about 645pm. More people joined us after the 615 mass and by 730, the room was pretty packed with new confirmants, post con youths and the youth cats.

Finally, the eating started! Everyone tucked into the delicious beehoon and chicken wings, with orange squash to wash it down. As there was a lot of bee hoon available, Justin generously piled up the empty plates as soon as some of the girls had finished theirs. Everyone mingled and there was much laughter.

After eating, Gregory and Justin started to get a little hyper, playing sword fights with each other and a game of wacko ensued. Popular targets were Justin, Roy, Natasha, Wilmer, Clement, Eugene, Gregory.....

The game ended when the catechists finished their meeting and came down to join them. Standing by the door, they ambushed Aunty Angela, Erica and Jac and "attacked" them as they entered the room. Father Brian came down as well, but no one dared to whack a priest. :) Aunty Angela being the last one to get hit by the stick, had to be the "whacker". Being such a good sport, she joined in the games even though the food was calling out to her. At this point, the other catechists started walking towards the food and everyone else started playing games, doing forfeits, running around madly, laughing hysterically. The atmosphere was indeed charged!

Alas, all good things must come to an end. Everyone pitched in to clean up the place and the night ended with a one-word prayer, thanking God for all the wonderful things that he has given us - good food, good friends and a wonderful evening.

Next stop: MOOOVIE NIGHT THINGIE! 16 December, 7pm, Prayer Hall A/B! Till then, have a wonderful week ahead!
