It is now time to contribute back to the parish. Like all previous years, Nativity had a Food and Fun Fair to celebrate their Feast Day in honour of our Blessed Mother. The catechists have taken up the task of decorating the altar in the church field. For more info, click here.

The New Antioch decided to raise funds by setting up a dunking machine. Prior to the actual day, the members have already been divided into several groups. Some did the posters and the banner (see third picture below), others came down to church to do some touch-up job on the machine, while others just did the shopping for bolts, nuts, cable ties, and other tools necessary for Operation "Jungle Dunk".

Finally, on Saturday, the eve of the Food & Fun Fair, members gathered around the church compound to set up the dunking machine.


Hi Ho! Hi Ho! And off to work we go.

Benedict : Hey Man! This is really tough work!
Jeffrey (behind) : You can say that again.

It took them the whole afternoon, but finally the "monster" was set up. On Sunday morning, at 8.00am, the "sitting ducks" on duty for the first shift are there at the stall geared up to get whacked.

Hey! What's going here? How come nobody one?

By 8.30am, after the Mass, the congregation started streaming out of the church.. Some just went for the food first, and some to the games stalls --- and the fun just started. Business was good, but not that good, until ... ...


Fr Kenson throws down the gauntlet.
$50 for 3 throws to down a priest.

That was when REAL business started rolling in. Many have come ... ... and seen ... ...


The first $50 man.


The second $50 man.


The third $50 man.

... ... but none have conquered. So Fr Kenson just sat comfortably on the platform, basking in the sun, until one day, far in the southern province of China, there was a man named Hou Yi.


Hi Father! Is the sun too hot for you? Let me cool you down.

And so he stood before Fr Kenson, drew in his breath, and he huffed, and he puffed, and he let his shot fly. And Fr Kenson, still wearing his smile, went down into the water.


Webmaster : "I told you he went down the water wearing his smile."

And for once, this BIG, BAD, WOLF named Hou Yi got away without ending up in a boiling pot.

Moral of the story : He who laughs last laughs best.

The first 3 men paid $50 to do it. They were laughing hopefully.
The first 3 men didn't do it. Fr Kenson was laughing happily.
The little guy did it. He was laughing triumphantly.
The rest watching were getting all the entertainment without paying a single cent. They were laughing deviously.
The guy sitting in the corner is collecting all the money. He was laughing greedily.
Fr Tung is in his office in stitches.
