Dependability

Yesterday i got home from Fungus(youth group) late so i'll write what happened yesterday.

Basically, I arrived at Doncaster- Officeworks at 6.20pm ish to get picked up to Fungus. And yea, mr nd Chris were jz w8ing in the cold outside Officeworks.- Occasionally walking inside Officeworks to warm up only to come out again in the cold. At 6:40, we saaw this van which we supossed it to be Fungus Van. However, the odd thing is that the Van drove past officeworks. It did a u turn and drove of the otherside- only to do a U-turn and drive pass us again. Chris nd I were lyk wtf. Anyway we finally got picked up at 6:50 by a car. There was 3 really chatty girls in the car. When Chris and I got in the car (Chris had to sit in the back with the girls ;p) -For some reason they'd suddenly gone mute. No sound could b heard :S so i made some forced convo or else it was so eerie.

Before Fungus we prayed a bit and started Fungus with some songs- naturally. Some guy stated chatting to Chris nd I. He was asking if we and our parents were religious. After i told him my name, he was liike "Is your dad called Victor Ma too"- I was stunned, So i was lyk "As a matter of fact... No". Then he explained that he knows some Asian guy from church called Victor Ma and he was a doctor!! <-Rofl. Hope i'll b one as well:P

Then a uber hilarious game wasz played. Quinton picked random 10 ppl from the group and di9rected them to blow up their balloons to full size. The rules of the game were one has to keep their balloon away from the ground- Simultaneously, one has to try and knock other pplz balloon away onto the ground. Well, Quinton drew "first blood", as he knocked Tony's balloon to the ground as soon as the whistle went. Tony was still standing there flabbergasted. There was also this small kid(bout 11 yrs old?) who was soloing Shuan(16yrs) and pat(25 yrs) -desperately the lil kid tried to jump and knock the balloon away. The funny thing was Shaun and Pat were losing. Twice, they nearly had their own balloon with contact on the ground. Shaun had to dive to the ground to retrieve his balloon b4 it hit the ground. Finally, after some desperate struggle, Shaun and Pat overcame the little kid and had his balloon on the ground. Of course me and Chris were cheering for the underdog. After a while Shaun and Pat decided to backstab each other and shaun won so pat was out. Remaining were some girls who didn't think they knew what they were doing. Shaun make quick work of them- after getting killing spree, dominating and then unstoppable there was one girl left. She was easily beaten after running to knock Shaun's balloon without the regarding the safety of her own. Shaun was awarded some Korean lollies which tasted pro. :D

There was a speaker that night -name was Chris Field. He chatted to us about dependability. He referred back to the ancient wars where one has to be "dependable" to look after his friend;s property and not steal it when one goes out to war. He said it was important to be dependable because if one was not, god would not trust them with stuff. To be dependable which is a big thing- it has to be made up of little incidents. He said that these lil incidents include packing up after you, making you bed etc. He made an analogy of making up little incidents to be dependable with an anecdotal experience of himself of how he owed his dad $50 bucks at his time . Even though he gets about $5 dollars a week for pocket money, He said that he never managed to return the money because he kept using his $5 dollars on small things and never actually having enough money to pay all at once. I learnt a lot from this dude and i reckon what he says is absolutely valid. :D
