2nd day of NYJC orientation:

reported at hall at 7.50pm

met friends and sat down.

morning was spent in hall. MCs came up with lots of lame jokes again :) so lame that its funny.

there was even an M&M chocolate catching competition and limbo competition up on stage.

departed for Sentosa at 10+

made new friend today, name's wryan.

he likes to read lots of articles, especially those from Newsweek, and very so often, he will take a copy out of his bag to read.

hmm.. he's chosen 4 h2 subjects, i wonder if he can cope.

today, the unenthu problem persists in the group but not to such a big extent.

it only happened in the morning. an OGL tried to teach a cheer and i ended up cheering, wryan was reading... O.o ok....

our cheering was not loud enough, with 72% girls in the group, and were not gutsy enough, we have to try even better. ROAR...

moods were lifted upon reaching Sentosa. we had to take a really long trek along the beach road because we could not take the tram.

AND IT WAS MIDDAY. omg, the sun. i'll tell you later.

let's continue, so we came on the island to participate in various station games located along the beaches of palawan and siloso.

but first, we had lunch. and that's where Masai took snapshots of me, but his reaction was slow, so he only took shots of me turning away from the camera. mwahaha~

lunch was pizza, i took 2 slices, same as everybody else. but i spammed chilli flakes on mine.

and no, they were still not spicy enough XD

1st station game. finding buried items in sand and using them to create a sandcastle, at the same time, unleashing your creativity. we had to be innovative here.

we strategised and found plenty if items in the sand, which were mainly plastic cups.

built a mound with a smiley face and decorated it with discarded panadol pills, shoe laces and wild grass lol.

and it was awarded the title of the most creative sandcastle? or something like that.

2nd station game: treasure hunt

we had to find items on a list. eg; 10 water bottles, 3 watches, 3 pairs of specs, 3 items from nature...etc

bonus items to find or bonus for stuff done: sing school song(all of us haven't even heard it once, a 2nd year student had to sing it), do the mass dance( recapped and everyone did the first part).

3rd station: another treasure hunt, find pencils, pingpong balls and 2 marked pebbles in an area.

4th station: a cup is strung over 2 wrists of 2ppl, fill cup and bring it to an empty pail, fill pail.

sounds simple but requires alot of teamwork and coordination to fill pail within time limit.

5th station: cats in a corner.( a group, eg; Nova5 stands in 4 corners. all members carry a plastic bag of water. another group eg; Yancey6, stands in the middle of 4 corners. once game master shouts CATS IN A CORNER! Nova5 members all have to rush to another corner, and Yancey6 members have to attempt to burst the plastic bags.

then reverse the groups and see which group has the most water filled bags left. which will win. and it resulted in a draw for us XD

lots of ganging in the game, 5 catchers were after one poor guy, then 10 more cornered him. lol

a girl was hugged by 4 other girls and had her plastic bag snatched. and 2 guys from the same team knocked into each other and burst each others bags.

quite rough too, sand was everywhere, even my pants and inside my socks. everyone was getting sand out of their shoes after this activity.

ok, after that was debrief and we went home ourselves.

pictures? of course, also uploaded on facebook. do comment :D
