Connecting via Waddling

Saturday, 23rd June 2007

In Pastor B's sermon last week, he mentioned that one way of connecting with his kids was to "speak their language", and a practical way which he has done so was to participate in Club Penguin.

This seems to have created a buzz amongst the members of the congregation.

It was a topic of discussion amongst several of us when we went to visit a church staff who was in hospital several days ago.

And just yesterday, my younger sis was asking me about it.

So I have decided to blog about it so as to address any other questions that some of you may have...

Out of curiosity, I decided to check it out three days ago and discovered that it is a wholesome alternative to the other online games out there that are also targeted at our kids.

In this virtual world, everyone takes the form of a penguin. My daughter walked me through on how to go about getting a character for myself, as well as to navigate around to play games, etc.

Mine is know an Mloh77 and I got myself a red bandana just yesterday. (Mloh = Malcolm Loh, and 77 is my favourite number).

The makers of Club Penguin encourage good behaviour. Those who use vulgar language, for example, will have their account suspended for a couple of days.

Oh, by the way, Pastor B's penguin character is spelt Chihky (His Chinese name is Chien Chih, hence chihky).
