Spiritual Outbound 27-29 Nov (DAY 2)

Continuation from part one.

So today, we start the day with morning prayer and worship & praise at the Grotto. Btw, today we are all using the red T-shirt given. It is written "Spiritual Outbound 2009, The Journey". I like the red color, very blood.. hahaha.. come back to morning, again our Romo dance like no one see him.. haha...

After that, we have our breakfast to start our outbound, today's menu is quiet nice, fried kweetiao and bread available if we want. also have tea and coffee. hmm, quite good start for starting the journey. lol..

Actually starting now, we have took photo.. hahaha..

Then, we start the real outbound! So first, every 22 minutes, there is a clue for bonus challenge.

We are given a clue which show a location where we must go. The location is taken from the journey of Israeli people out of Egypt. And I remember our first location is Egypt!! At this point, one must be a Moses (leader), while the others closed their eyes, and Moses must guide them out of the road block, without touching the plastic rope. Being the first one, and the facilitator is the first try to be the Moses, it is quite difficult to get all of us out from the first block. Then, I decide to be the Moses, then I realize it is not easy also to be the Moses.

Some of them are still afraid about touching the rope and need to redo again. Oh ya, the weather is quite HOT, no, it is not quite HOT, but VERY HOT!! Then, I can handle 2 blocks at the time, where they actually already need to lift up their legs and squad down also.. haha.. then after that, I a lil bit confuse what they should do, should they jump or squad down.. because they put really in between of jump or squad.. hahaha.. finally i decide they must jump, but only 2 persons able to get it right and the time is over.. =="

Then the second location, we go to Dead Sea. this challenge, out of 8 challenges, is the most unique games. So when we arrive, no other team is there, we do not know what will happen. We know that it will be related with water and wet. Then the gamemaster explains the rules. We must hold a pale of water with leg. Then, I start to wonder how to hold ya? Then the rules is not finished yet! Then, while we are holding the pale with full of water with leg, we must deliver a plastic rope across our hands and across our t-shirt. Then I start to wonder, how to do ya?? Then game master says, OK all LAY DOWN! then i know, I must quite strong in my legs (coz my team consists only 2 boys and 6 girls!) and I can not really see what my neighbor do.. hahaha.. and we must deliver the rope 2 rounds! =,= and before we can put the pale down, we must lift it down and up and down again then we can be free.. zzz.. what a very good idea in this game.. hahaha..

Next, the next game which I like also, is to find candy (as if it is manna). Gamemaster gives the exact location in the map, then we must find it. Then we discuss, and some of my friend is having hard time to find it. Then when it comes my turn I find one. (I can only get one at the time). Then for the second time, I get it where my friend can not find (I say to them, this game must have great attention to details). Actually I get two out of eight that is given. Then when the game finish, I can find the candy which my friends can't find and actually this game actually needs the good angle of view so that we can find the candy.. So then, actually half of the candy I can find by myself.. hahaha..

Huff, three out of eight games I tell already. This one is the fourth games which is interesting. So, eight of us must make a circle facing outward and lock (not hold) our hands together. So it must squeeze, then follow what the game master tell. Then, the game master tells us to rotate, walk 6 steps to the right and left. It is still a lil bit normal, then for the higher point, we must squad down and go a some distance! Then, we all wondering, how ya, if squad down, we sure die coz of broken leg. hahaha. Then, I say can we just sit and move our backs? GM says CAN. so we move with also a lil bit hardwork.. hahaha.. but we can manage to do it.

Remember, the bonus challenge? Actually we must make (I do not know how to say in English =="), so when we combine the clue, the sentence is "dua loh batu didalam tabut perjanjian dan terbuat dari bahan alam". Then I think our team makes the simplest one. Hahaha..

But, we come as one of the best reflection of the outbound.. (feel proud a lil bit =))

Then, I will tell this part generally (coz I have BBQ part.. =)). Then after the outbound, we have some time to have lunch (now, all the food is finished faster.. hahaha) and take a shower.. After we take a shower, we have confession. One of the father was in St Mary (Fr. Jivan) so I have some time for confession with him and have some chit chat.. hehehe..

for night, we have our fellowship and BBQ time! So we are already in the Promised Land. We sing, dance under the star. We have api unggun (like boyscout).. hahaha. and when the dinner comes, it is BBQ time! Actually, we do not grill, the staff from the retreat house do it. Anyway, we have sausage, chicken wing, beef, burger beef, wow.. So many, plus orange juice, sweet corn, fried rice, banana, etc.. hahahaha.. I make you hungry now.. =p.. Waw, so complete and we dine under the star with limited light of lamp. hahaha..

Then we realize one thing, we have not prepare for our drama tomorrow.. So, we finish our dinner at 9.30PM then rush back to finish our drama. So, our drama is about baby Moses who is thrown by his mother, and the early stage of Moses before he is sent by God.

Then our practice is ended about 11.00 PM. But, I see some of other group still finishing. I decide to back to room to have some rest. hahaha..

Cont to part 3...
