Your regular editor wasn't around last weekend to be part of the Olympics, so here's a quick report from our guest writer and Assistant Deputy Commander, Sook Kuan.
But first, 41 people! That's unbeatable. It's better than winning, it's more important than scoring. Give yourselves a pat.
We have not received any videos or photos to put up, but will do that soon. But while we're waiting, check out Assistant Commander Cyrus, who best sums up what's Group James up to right now:
And now, on to Sook Kuan's report:
Under the scorching sun with no sea breeze, the James and the rest of the youth groups marched towards the land of Chin’s field. Opening by Kayson who was last year’s marathon runner and unfortunately, won by him again this year. Then the marathon race oi out. From our team for male marathon we have Mr. Tiong King and for female marathon, we have Ms. Ang Irene. We salute to both of you. Indeed this event is the hardest among the other events. Persevere till the end!!!
Not forgetting James’ Deputy
Commander, Ang Jocelyn who won the 100m… girl oiwer!!! Then for the golfing,
James won!! 4x100m for female we won!!! Hurdles female we won!!! Girl oi-wer
indeed…sorry guys. Try harder next time.
Then we have our Petra version of street captain ball with 4 guys and 3 gals. The 1st match was against group Stephen. They are indeed super in their power and but yet we are super as well in our James Oi spirit even though we did not win this match. Next, against Andrew. Hahaha… this time we won and again they too have the spirit!!! Go Andrew! After the two matches, we did not give up although everyone is already exhausted. Our sports manager, Cyrus Liew, say we should Oi all the way. So we did and there goes our last match with team Peter. It was a close fight but thanks to Sammo on behalf of Peter, they won’t this match.
From the land of Chin’s field we marched back (in cars) to Petra. This was the height of the Olympic. Cheerleading!!! Oi! Oi! Oi! All groups danced and cheered well. Group James was the last group to perform and the best saves for the last. With the unity in our cheer and synchronization of our dance, our cheerleading team really rocks our church. The ultra-violet lights were amazing and we danced with our white shirts glowing. We emerged as 1st runner-up for cheerleading and overall with Peter as the champion for cheerleading and overall.
Well done everyone! Here we would

7friends), Thai Yang (brought 5friends), Bee Wan, Irina, Siew Mei, Shet Yee, Shueh-Yi, Lydia

Hey guys and girls,
It's time to show your mettle! That means, we gotta show how tough, how fast, how strong, how clever we are to the rest of the Pee-Why-Pee! That's right, it's Petra Olympics time. First things first, here's the deal:
When? 10 February 2007, Saturday
What time? 3:00 p.m.
Where? Petra Gospel Centre, Taman Kencana - in Cheras]
What to where? Sports clothes, and BLUE T-shirt. Even better, your JBJ T-Shirt.
So what exactly is Petra Olympics? It's the time where we run a good race (tha'ts 100m, 400m relay, 110m hurdles), demonstrate pin-point precision (that's golf), top-notch strategy and teamwork (street basketball) and our favourite - lot's and lot's of team spirit! (Cheerleading)
In fact, this year, our team spirit is so boiling hot that we've already put together some nifty moves. Check this out:
Of course, then compare that to this... the pros...we're better right?
So, see you at Petra Olympics 2007. Be there, or be...errr... missing out on all the fun.
