The 180 Retreat. One word: awesome! We made our way to Wu Kwai Sha in the evening and went straight into some worship time. It was really nice being outdoors with everyone singing and clapping. Afterwards we went to our dorms and got to know everyone. I was sharing with Karen, Jess, Suki, Jennifer and Cora. They were all really nice and, apart from Suki, were all Canadian-Chinese. I think we ended up playing Uno and cards before bed too.
The next day we started with breakfast and then some quiet time, where we got to find a nice spot to sit and spend time reflecting or praying or whatever. We then all came together for some group activities including:
Skittle shooting:
Pegging:

Egging:
and Balloon blowing:
After lunch was worship time. Derek Ma, the Pastor, gave a short talk and we sang a load of songs. In the afternoon we played a LOT of dodgeball. We played for nearly 3 hours and I was so good haha! There were loads of times where it was just me left against the other team. I even won it for us a few times- yay! When we started playing it was really, really hot but when we finished it was dark and the mozzies had come out.


I don't think anyone got much sleep that night, especially anyone trying to sleep in our room haha. Sunday was quieter- with breakfast, morning exercise, quiet time, lunch and time to pack. We squeezed in a few group shots, then it was on the coach and back to Central. Whew, what a weekend!
