Here're the videos from our Dodgeball competition.
Fantastic performance guys!
Happy Chinese New Year to all JBJians!
Right, it took us a little while to get our act together, but it's finally up. All the well-taken Olympic Videos. Check it out here:
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
want to take this opportunity to thank Tiong King (marathon and brought
7friends), Thai Yang (brought 5friends), Bee Wan, Irina, Siew Mei, Shet Yee, Shueh-Yi, Lydia
Sim, Iviane, Lynn, Irene, Wai Kit, Tiong Tung, Jeremiah, Joel, and Kar Fai.
Thank you for your participations and support to the group.
Not forgetting all the commanders and committees for James, thank you. And this is especially for Wai Yee, thank you for volunteering to be a good watergirl.
Without any of you guys here, it
won’t be group James. Oi!

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.
Okay, sorry, real life caught up with virtual life and your regular JNN reporter fell sick. But, though much delayed, here it is finally, our JBJ Investiture Report. There are some really cool videos below, so scroll down.
Firstly, here are some pictures:
1. Pledge-taking
Here it is commanders. Your pledge. We have a video of those promises you made in front of a witness of more than a hundred people. So, may God be with you this year! Hold the Line!
2. James, Hold The Line Game
Right after the pledge taking, Group James, Brother of Jesus, had to Hold the Line - literally. With one piece of Raffia string, you had a whole group of people going through an obstacle course, trying NOT to break the string. Here it is, in full video splendour:
3. Investing in Group James, Brother of Jesus
When both guys and girls finally made it into James War Room of Planning Devious Strategies to Win Souls for Christ (JWRPDSWSC), the time for investiture proper had come. To start things off, we had an inspiring speech from our dear Commander, Jason Boi.
And upon finishing his Inspirational Speech, the Commander proceeded to pledge in our new members. Once everyone was officially a JBJ-ian, we popped the cork and Yammed-Oied.
Well, we hope all our newly-inducted JBJ-ian members really feel like JBJ-ians. Do come this Saturday for even more fun and laughter with our annul Foosball competition.
Hey guys and gals,
JBJ has gotten its grubby fingers on some free tickets for a screening of Death Note 2.
The details:
Date: 22 January 2007 (Monday)
Time: 9:30 p.m.
Place: Cineleisure, Damansara Perdana
Now, if you want some tickets, there's a catch. We've got four tickets to give away and will give them out in pairs of two (so you can bring along a friend or loved one). But, to get your even more grubby hands on them, you've got to fill in a simple suggestion and post the answer here. The best answer on Saturday, 20 January 2007, Noon, wins. And you'll get your tickets that afternoon itself - see David Lian.
Okay, clear? Are you ready? Here's the question:
If you had one wish to do something that could make PYP even better (than it already is now), what would it be?
Post your answers here (you've got to create a Vox account) or send to james.brotherofjesus@gmail.com
Happy trying!
Blue people. Blue food. Blue games (okay, don't know how we did that, but yeah...). Kinda makes you feel a bit blue. But not in the bad way. Last Saturday (13th January 2007) was Blue Saturday for JBJians every where. And if you missed our exciting programme, below are some key highlights:
1. First, we punished the people who failed to wear blue on Saturday (Stern reminder to everyone, ya?) (Oh, in case you protest, Jocelyn's top is officially Turqoise, NOT Blue)
2. Then we played some very blue games... Cyrus made all of us do ridiculous stuff but we couldn't laugh. Or we'd get spanked. Somehow, this reminds me of that wierd Taiwanese game show where people who laugh get spanked. And they laugh summore after that.
3. And we rounded it off with some chit-chat and BLUE food.
So how do you have a great PYP outreach programme? First you must have a very lively chairperson:
We can all learn a lot from this.
In the rush of uploading all this delicious content, it seems we left one out on "The making of... Winter Olympics."
But, not to worry, we've taken this and dusted the powder off and here we are with our very own short film: "Louis: Crash Test Dummy." Enjoy!
You came, you played, you turned white with powder. Now, just before our report on last Saturday's Winter Olympics goes up, here are some behind-the-scenes videos of "The Making of... Winter Olympics." Yes, those fantastic games didn't happen to be played by chance. Someone planned them! (Shock, gasp!)
And, believe it or not, we had to try many different styles, think of many different games to give you the great event you enjoyed. Watch some of the ideas that didn't make the cut, right here:
So, do you think we should have some of these games in our next Winter Olympics? Post here or e-mail james.brotherofjesus@gmail.com.
