• Reflections of Summer 2oo4:

  
  

  ID4 picnic / GS Competition

  
  

  Team Platinum
  The team that I predicted to take away this year's victory according to past years' patterns ended in last place due to unfortunate losses at Hot Balloons and Limbo. Good job, nonetheless. Representing team Platinum is Jerry, Barry, Aaron, Aaron, Carolina, Ahsa and Christine. MVP: Barry & Christine
  

  
  

  Team Silver
  Last year's champs returned this year and put up a tough fight. Although their performance was average in all events, they managed to tie at second place with Gold, but alas, losing in the final round of Up Down Left Right B.E.B. Members consist of Fred, Zhiqian, Long, Brian, Patricia, Elaine and Linny. MVP: Fred & Patricia
  

  
  

  Team Gold
  This team was off on a pretty rough path throughout the entire competition, coming in last in almost every event. But great teamwork placed them in second as they returned with full score in the Human Scavanger Hunt, and having never-changing support for team anchor, Eric, even as Tug Of War was transformed to Limbo. This golden collaboration is made of Bryan, Simon, Eric, James, Jennifer, Shih Mei and Peter. MVP: Peter & Shih Mei
  

  
  

  Team Kryptonite
  And finally, without further adue, the spanking new fresh team of the year; Kryptos-John, Mikey, Mike, Difei, Derrick, Grace and Julie brought the house down with their extraordinary performances. After 3 years of racing against Bryan, Derrick still managed to come in a consistant second with the help of John closing up the near-end of the race. Difei's amazing cleaverness in Up Down Left Right B.E.B along with his finish in Hot Balloons boosted the team from mediocre to ultimate. And for their grand finale, Grace stole the championship as the "Last Woman Standing" in Limbo. MVP: Difei & Grace 
  

  
  

  Ducks Crossing!
  The size-placed Limbo line. Honorable mentions to Peter, Ahsa, and of course, Fred aka "The Monster"
  

  
  

  Piggy-back Relay Race:
  1st runs
  1st-time cooperaters, Patty & Long VS God-siblings, Jei & Eric VS happy Mikey lifting his cousin Difei VS shy Aaron touching Barry like he's never touched another man before.
  

  
  

  2nd runs
  A worried Linny & Brian VS Light-weight combo Mei & Peter VS Sheepish John & Julie VS Long-time buddies, Ahsa & Christine.
  

  
  

  3rds:
  Closing up the end is Elaine & bball master, Zhiqian VS Good boys James & Simon VS a hyped Gracie & Dopey VS Jerry eager to mount Aaron.
  

  
  

  Getting ready
  Hotties Patricia & Peter exchanges a few words while Long and Mikey gears up to jet.
  

  
  

  Winner, hands down
  Bryan "Speedy Gonzales" flying past the finish line leaving Derrick, Fred and Carolina behind.
  

  
  

  Jump rope
  Who says it's a girl's thang? Eric and Aaron challanges the pull of gravity during break-time while Derrick and Mikey turns the rope that the girls made from Gracie's prop.

  In the blue corner-- we have Aaron Yi! *cues cheers and applause* And in the red corner-- we have Jennifershihmeigracecarolinaelaineahsa!  Guess which side won~
