GAMES FIESTA

ARE YOU EXCITED? :D Everything is happening at Hall 603, from as early as 2pm! There was not much of a crowd at 2.30, but everyone started coming in at 3! Instantly, long queues for the game booth started to form.

Outside the hall, there were displays of the beautiful works by the fashion designers, artists and photographers!

Doesn't this design remind you of F1? By the way, it is totally hand-sewn! O:

The designers were to make use of as much recycled materials as possible to design a pretty costume that suits the theme, EVOLVE! With colourful papers to Cotton On bags used, they sure are creative!

Be greeted by these people too!

From 2 - 4pm, there were many matches played for Captain's Ball on Wheels. Basically, the participants were suppose to pass the ball while rolling around with their wheelchairs. The goal is for the ball to reach the goal person! Looks like they were having a lot of fun, though being 'disabled'!

Of course, it is time for the iSociety projects to be made real and on-going! The people in-charge of their own projects set up a booth each to raise awareness of their movement. Did you support them? (:

I look so funny! By the way, Mabel came for EMERGE! (:

"Leave your smokey past for a brighter future." Lights Out is a movement to encourage youths to do something more meaningful, rather than to smoke and endanger their own lives. They set up a photo booth and provided wacky accessories for us to spread the anti-smoking message! They would be the ones organising Singapore's first ever glow-in-the-dark flash mob! It would happen on 24 Novenber 2012, 8 - 10pm. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Register with them at http://www.facebook.com/LightsOuttt nowwwww! :D

The Aging Suit Simulation is really interesting! Youths were made to wear a red suit with unclear googles and gloves around to spread the message of caring for our elderly in the society. For a moment, they looked like construction workers somehow, hahaha! I didn't manage to try it on but it was indeed an innovative idea! (:

Using Facebook and Twitter, FEET as aiming to raise awareness of the rising population of elderly in the society and to care for them no matter what! If you stopped by their booth, you would be asked to write down the reasons for loving your grandparents and stick the post-it on the board. They also planned to type out ALL the messages on Twitter to promote the movement. Watch out for their mentions! (:

Just keep walking inside and you would surely be amazed by these wonderful balloon sculptures, forming the word, EVOLVE! Presenting to you, Gardens By The Bay! The volunteers spent so much time and efforts just to finish this brilliant sculpture for us to admire! Well done for your hard work. (: Many cell groups were crowding around that area, wanting to take a group photo together. Hall 603 was also decorated with pink and blue balloons. Balloons liven up people's spirits. (:

Next up, it's GAMES TIME! There were 19 game booths altogether, inclusive of the 3 mobile booths. All the games were really fun and interesting, set up by our own members! If you win or pass the game, a sticker would be given to you! Get 5 stickers to exchange for an EMERGE badge, 10 for an EMERGE T-shirt, 16 for one whole set of badges and a T-shirt, and another 3 more for a $5 Capitaland voucher! Sounds cool? (:

The first game booth Mabel and I went to was Sandwich Mania. We were suppose to make sandwiches ordered by the 'customers' by a limited time. There were bread, vegetables, cheese any many more given to us! They also have food to give away after completion of game! The food smells so delicious and tempting! Now I know why they attracted quite a lot of attention. (:

Food attracts. ;)

There was once where I played very fast, and the person asked: "Do you work in Subway?" LOL! :D

This game is really hard to play, for me. There would be 3 people, at a time, picking up marbles from the bowl of coloured water with the chopsticks. It really takes skill to pick up a wet marble!

Draw Something not with your fingers on iPhones, but with markers on papers!

Wonder Woman (Kelvan's artwork) , Michael Jackson and Bruce Lee (my artwork).

HAHAHAHAHA!

Apparently, Mabel guessed my drawing correctly! I never knew someone could actually think of Bruce Lee for their answer! We were the second pair to get the sticker. :D

I remember seeing a kid attempting to play this game. Then, the purple guy 'helped' him by smashing down the cans with his hands! HAHAHA! :D

Try making a hole on the toilet paper just by flicking a rubber band! I kept hitting my own fingers for every round! :/

EMERGE SPECIAL SERVICE

For today, I didn't sit infront. Instead, I sat with my cell group, because I brought a new friend, Mabel, with me today! Quoted from my cgl, "A soul is more important than blogging." hahaha!

The dancers and cheerleaders had got SWAG yo! With their cool dance moves and enthusiasm, they performed really well! It looks so fun being thrown up by the cheerleaders and doing flips! I want to be a flyer someday. (:

For Your Best Shot, only one finalist performed today, which is none other than the gorgeous Abigail Yeo! Her strong vocals and expressions never fails to touch us.

All her supporters were waving lightsticks and their 'lighted' phones! What a beautiful sight!

"Will you hear the cry? Will you give that hope? Will you be the help of this one voice?"

This song is truly inspirational and touching. It speaks of those little kids with no hope of their future, and we should do extra to make a difference in their lives. It is written by a business woman, Elim Chew, and her friend Cat Wong!

There was also a testimony shared by Div Teng. He started off joining Project Balloon Blitz and had many successful fund raises. Because of the great works he did to impact the society, he appeared in national televisions! He started DIValoons, for balloon sculptures, and was also one of the volunteers who sculpted the balloons for EMERGE! Awesome! :D Pastor Kong preached about Building Your Own Altar. If you didn't catch his sermon, here are the points that he shared. 1. An altar is a place of sanctity. 2. An altar is a place of surrender. 3. An altar is a place of service. 4. An altar is a place of shaping. 5. An altar is a place of sight. After the service, there were Fashion Design and YBS showcases in Hall 603 too! Game booths were there all the way until 10pm that day! WOAH.

Stay tuned for my last post for EMERGE!
