Lent activities...

So what have you guys been up to during the 40 days of Lent?
Btw, Belated Happy Palm Sunday to those celebrating :)
It is becoming a sort of tradition for me and some of my (church) friends to abstain from eating meat (including keropok and soup also!) from Ash Wednesday till after Holy Saturday. We have about 5 more days to go and counting! If we make it, this will probably be the 4th years we manage to NOT eat meat for almost 40 days.
Lent time also means station-of-the-cross every Friday, choir prac for the Holy Week and this year with Fr. Peter around, weekly benediction and talks at our church.
Lent is also a time to give back to the community. With this in mind, our church group organized a visit to Sri Prichard Kinarut, Old Folks Home, last 1st March (this post way over-due). It was an insightful visit.
Distributing give-aways (goodies -- packet drink & biscuits)
Paku, Vet & Onos lending a helping hand...
Cindy giving out the 'give-aways' at the male ward quater.The recent activity we had was last Saturday (15th March). Almost 100 over youths attended a short talk by Fr. Dr. Peter Abas. Fr. Peter held an open discussion with the youths about the problems young people usually face in their daily living; e.g: peer pressures, drug, relationship problem, sexuality (all ears perked up!), and such. Really interesting topics.
The questions and answer session was very intense and lively with many of the youths writing down their questions and problems for Fr. Peter to read out and offer advice/solutions.
The next program for the day was a mini telematch outside the church's compound. Everyone were divided into groups, from #1 - #7. (me group #2).
The first games was the "Brick Game" – Use 3 bricks to get from the starting point to the other end. The rule for this game is that you CANNOT step on the ground at all as you race to the other end. MUST STEP ON the BRICKS only!
Paku in action! Go Paku go!But what do we have here? (-_-) Main buyuk dis!
Alamak! Chun-chun caught red-handed lar! * RULE: MUST step on brick only*
The second game is the "Board Game" (boluti game hehe!!) 6 people in a group need to race to the other end using only two board. Same rule apply... NO STEPPING ON GROUND... MUST ON THE BOARD ONLY!
All contestant geared to race!
The third and last games... "Paper Church". Groups were given 25 minutes to build their dream church using newspaper ONLY. No selotape, scissor or glue.
