Sch + Bash Day...

Today at Creative Thinking class was not too bad in the end. Finally, our group finalised on doing this "excuse me, are you normal ? " project. Prof finally gave us a topic for us to discuss and talk about between us, breaking the usual "only he talking in class" procedure.

After sch, went back to sengkang first to rest and see family.

At night, it was Freshmen Bash. Had to meet my FTB group mates. From 14, it was down to 6. Sihui managed to join us later, but she and Jia yin had to leave early. Magdalene had her friends with her leaving me, Kailing, Lingyi and Dom. Oh well, we still had some fun dancing, going toilet upteen times... hehe..

Left about 130am when they all wanted to go home to sleep. Wanted to meet up with the ELW ppl, but girls like Faith, Serene Tan, and Si Miao didnt even come in the first place. Jeremy left early, while Serene Toh and Karin were with their own grp of friends. So when my FTB guys decided to go back, i follow suit.

Suck , tml still have class. Luckily, its in the noon. But then, after that will be going for gym and the red cross interview. Oh well... its another end of the week. This is damn fast... how time in school pass by...

Creative Thinking...

Oh gosh.. my first hundle so far..
in the late afternoon, i had a meeting with my group mates for my Creative thinking module.

We had to think of an idea/concept for our Group project and present it to prof tml. Over the weekend, we were supposed to think of a few ideas and present it together during the meeting.

I tot the meeting wouldnt last that long, and that me booking 3 hours were quite extreme. Guess what, it turns out otherwise. We spent the whole 3 hours in the room... with not much headway. Yes, indeed, there were ideas generated, but there was no one great idea that all was in consensus. Gosh, 3 long hours and still no conclusion. and tml is the presentation of the idea.

And i tot Creative thinking was one of the easilest module to do...

No particulat topic

Yes, nothing in particular, just wanna type something in here..

tue was a no sch day for me since i dont have class. Spent the afternoon doing my AS homework, thanking all who have helped me in my Capitaland marketing survey, and trying to explore this website threadless.com as well as reading my book a 2nd time.

Oh well, suddenly have the feeling of what's exactly does human want in life?
Often, we say and do things that always contradict each other, making people ard you confused on what exactly do we want.

Be it career, love life, family, goals... at times, we think we have it, but then again is it? At times, we think we should go for it, but yet have doubts and back off last min. At times, we think that we have got the right one, but yet people say its a wrong choice. So what's right? What's wrong? What's exactly do we or I want? Ponder***

Life's suppose to be simple... But it ain't simple. Guess it was never meant to be simple...

Today spent some time walking at Funan to find a laptop bag.

Finally got this... This the front view

This is how it looks like inside.

Found some time after that at home to draw this out. Need to distinguish my laptop ma.. keke

CCA Day

Yesterday school had this CCA day event held at Concourse. Its where all the CCAs in SMU set up booths,promoting and recruting new members to their club. As soon as class finished, I along with Lingyi and Rebecca went down to meet our FTB grp mates to collect our tickets from Sihui.

We walked from one end to the other end, combing every booth that was along our path. I myself sign up for 4 different clubs. Red Cross, Rock Climb, Floorball, and Roteract. Still, among them, my priority would be Red Cross, followed by floorball. Magical Christmas preparation would be starting, so I would involve in Red Cross more. Floorball is a way for me to exercise regularly. Anyway, some others in my FTB grp like Lingyi, Kailing, and Yvonne signed a lot... And i mean a lot... think Lingyi sign as many as 9 clubs.. total MADNEsS!

First Week of School...

Finally sch has started. Went through most of the lessons already except for Stats which i will be taking tml.

life at Uni is one level up than when i was in Poly. All classes are different. Groups are formed randomly on your own, and basically with ppl you dont know at all. Stress? Well, I dont feel it now, but slowly but surely it will creep onto me when things pile up fast.

Readings, Discussions, Brainstorming, and meetups.. .All this are part and parcel of life in SMU. I have to get used to this kinda of life fast man...

Still, everything's fine for me for now... Pray and hope it runs smoothly as i slowly take up CCA activities.

GOD Bless ME !!!

HobbyLovers

I happen to came across this group of youngsters who wanted to find crafters like me to supply them with stuff to sell on behalf for us.

Upon that, i thought why not since my caps have been at home for ages, untouched. Today, i managed to pass them my things after a few months of liasing. They will hold the stall at Lime market this coming Saturday 26th.

I set the prices for the caps at a very low price, just hoping to recover my costs. Hope it sells on saturday...

Me and Crystal at Convocation

That's me and Crystal at Convocation. Was feeling bored while waiting for the event to start. Happen to see her when i was walking around.

Me in Fireworks Festival

I took this picture when we were waiting the crowd to stream in on Saturday. Tried to put the Wheel behind the picture.. .hee

I took this 2 pictures trying to fit myself and the fireworks into the picture. Hardly see my face in it. Was so dark man...

Fireworks by Spain

These were 2 pictures i took on Friday night.

Convocation + More Fireworks !

Today was Convocation, a formal ceremony inviting students into SMU. It was a very formal event. Every student had to wear formal attire and the I must say that it was held in a very professional way. We got to hear 4 different speakers, watch videos about SMU and FTB camp, and performance.

One of the speakers' speech was quite influential to me. His advice to us was Humunity, Integrity, Fast in Gratitude, and Happiness. Staying humble, keeping hold one's values at all times, showing generousity and gratitude and keeping a postive attitude were his wise advise. This person was the Guest-of-Honour, My Kwok.

After the formal event, there was the informal one but i had to miss it because I had to rush off for work at the festival.

Tonight's fireworks was even more brilliant. It was well coordinated with the music, plus the spectacular display, it was simply amazing. Tonight display was done by Team China and I must say that it was far better than Spain's. The great show managed to wow me and pull me off my thinking of being lonely that time (even though it would be great if there was someone close to me would be there at that time )

Overall, freaking tired. More shack than yesterday. One day to school and the email i received from my prof is already freaking me out. Im praying and hope that i could really adapt back to sch after 3 years.

Floorball + Fireworks Festival

It was quite a day today. First up, I went to Floorball clinic. I met up with Serene at station control and we walked towards Sports Hall together.

It was still drizzling when we came out of the shopping mall. She took out her umbrella for the both of us to hide under the rain. I helped to carry the umbrella. Who knows? We were about to cross the traffic light when there was a strong breeze which blew the umbrella totally upwards! Yes... just like in movies. What's worse is that the handle inside broke. All this were happening and we were totally taken aback from it and kept on laughing that in that moment, we didnt know whether or not to cross the road. The bus uncle must have thought this 2 siao kias playing a fool with him ah...

Anyway, back to the clinic, we were among the early birds there. When the clinic started, we tried on some of the basics of Floorball before we were splitted up into groups for a round robin matches. Though it lasted 5 mins for each gender, being in there for just 2 minutes is tiring enough already. Overall, I still had fun though i hope to experience and learn more about the sport. Many of my Sports camp group mates were there, plus Serene and Faith, and Fish, it was still an enjoyable clinic.

After that, i had to rush off to the Floating Platform to work. There, I and Jeremy were event helpers for the fireworks festival. Upon reaching, first thing I saw were some of my old unit's friends, CSM, S1, and my CO. It was a surprise but a pleasant one. Hope they are all doing fine.

For the event, I had to do ushering. It was pretty boring initially when there were no crowd yet. But as the evening crept by, and more people coming in, things got really busy. I had to continously guide the people to their seats, walking to and flo around the area. Still, it was more than worth it since I was able to get a very cool view of the fireworks display.

By Spain's artpiece, it was a beauty which lasted for 15mins. Incredible ...
But still , during the display, somehow inside in me felt that wont it be nice if there was someone to be there to enjoy with me. Around me were families, couples, friends. I believe if there was a person there to enjoy the event with me, the feeling would be a lot different. Guess I'm getting lonely already eh... But it was a feeling I felt during the display.

Oh well, still there's still another day of fireworks display that i can enjoy tml. And i have to rush to the place again right after my Convocation.

FTB Photos

This was our group photo before the start of our Final Challenge!

We were totally crazy despite continuous rafting for 30 mins !

Victorious! Douya!

Group Photo at the end of Day 3

School's Starting ... !!!

School's Starting ... !!!

I never thought that time during this 2 months prior to the start of school to pass by so fast. In a few days time, I'm officially starting school and my first subject is Business Law! Oh gosh, I have to study this module again. Totally suck man!

Just got my timetable and plus my compulsory taking of an additional module of Academic Writing, I will be taking 6 subjects this term. Crazy! I hope I dont tire myself. With the normal academic studies, I even took up a Marketing Campaign competition with another 2 friends. This is a definite test of my time management.

Finding friends in the same is another tough task. Everyone was splitted up into 2 blocks, where it block consists of a few subjects to take. Within the block, it is further split up into the different timings. I have managed to find out some of my friends who are in the same class. Of course, there are some i hope to be in the same class but too bad, timing are all different... Sad... Just hope the schedule in school will not distanced myself with those that i will not meet that often once school starts.

Freshmen Teambuilding Camp (FTB Camp)

Freshmen Teambuilding Camp (FTB Camp)

Finally Its over!

Yes, all of my 4 camps that i have signed up. Just came back from my FTB camp. This was the only compulsory camp of all of the camps that were available in school.

Before this, I have heard from Terence, Jin jie and many others that FTB is not something that i should look forward to. So i was hoping that things would turn out a better experience for me. Luckily, it did. I had a memorable camp for my FTB.


Day 1 :
Well, the day did not start on a high note. It rained heavily in the early morning and it cast a mind that the camp might be ruined by the weather. Anyway, things got better when I reached at school. We were given a briefing about the camp and I got to talk to some of my group mates before we reached the campsite. Campsite was located at Outward Bound Singapore (East Coast).

As usual, we started off for some Ice-breaking games. To my surprise, this group of people that i was with consists a few very hyper ppl. That made the start of the camp a good one and everyone had hoped that we would bond and work together well for the activities that was awaiting us.

To add to it, we had a very nice facilitator who carried out her role as a faci and as a friend very well. She had managed to bring across aim and viewpoint to us, balancing a hard task of disciplining us and bonding with us.

After lunch, the activities started.

1) Over the Hoops :
This station was considered easy. We had to be tied on our ankles together. There were 5 hoops on the ground and we had to cross over all hoops without touching the side of the hoops. For this activity, I must say that we made a decent start. There was a nice balance of brainstorming, accomodating and executing among us. Though it took us a couple of tries, we finally made it with a above average timing.

2) Foot Antenna:
Next was to build a foot Antenna / Tower. Out feet had to touch each other from heel to heel and we had to build a tower as high as possible. This was not an easy task given the fact that the team only got to know each other. Planning took a long time as we ponder which way was the best way to do it. In the end, we managed to pull of a result of 2.45 metres. Here, I started to see the enthusiasm within the team. The girls were actively involved, and were willing to risk and adapt to what was needed of them to accomplish the task. Guys were there to support and provide the strength needed.

3) Tunnelling :
Here, we had to go through a tunnel, totally dark-pitched. We only had 3 small lights that had to be shared among the 7 guys. What we had to do was to find picture moulds and shade it on a piece of paper for the points. It was definitely one cool activity as I was the one to lead the pack. Though humid and stuffy, we had a lot of fun climbing and crawling aound our way. Along it, we had some laughs too!

4) Night Games :
For night games, we had to play 6 stations. Some of them were normal fun-playing games while others needed good listening, observing, following skills. One memorable game was that our grp had to be splitted into 3 teams. One team had to make a pose, the second team had to descibe the posture to the third team. The third team, blinded, would have to based on their listening skills act out the pose.

For the sleeping area, we were assigned to tents. Unfortunately, our tent were in the middle of the pack, so it was the coolest of place to sleep in. Luckily, for the first night, it got cooler in the middle of the night. Those who could not stand the heat went around the campsite to find suitable place to sleep instead.


Day 2 :
Games today were much more challenging than the ones from the previous day.

1) Tranfering of Marbles :
Here, our task was to transfer a marble using plastic tubes up to a hanging pail which was two odd metres high. Well, it took us a long of time in planning, simulation, and execution. But through this activity, we had developed a "never give up" mentality in us. Despite all the failed attempts, we just kept on going, repeating the process upteen times. Towards the end, when we managed to accomplish the task, our timing was considerably good.

2) Spiderweb :
This activity was tough on the guys' knees and arms. Here we had to start the game from inside. From there, without touching the web, we had to escape out. Similiarly, we spent quite some time planning. I initiated with a brief plan for everyone to follow and as the team start to simulate the steps, adjustments were made in order for everyone to come out accordingly. In the end, though we didnt managed to complete it, still the fighting spirit was in us. We just kept on going and going and going even though we had already exceeded the timing allocated for the activity.

3) Rafting :
However, the toughest one was up next. By mid-afternoon, we had to do rafting. First, we had to build a raft on our own and then with it, row it out to the sea for a certain distance. A few of us knew how to tie, so they were the ones who led the tieing while the others including me help out in whatever way we could. We managed to be the first team to complete the tieing and our raft was very solid.
Things became worse when we were out to sea. The strong, windy condition had made our next part of our tasks a very difficult one. From shore, we had to row out to the sea. Our target was about 50-80 metres away. Our rowing was not our strengths. Time and time again, we were being rushed backwards by the strong currents. We simply could not finish the task within the stipulated timing (30 mins). However, those who were on the raft including me just kept on going and going. Once, we were just about 5 metres from the mark. Losing the momentum and with the currents, we were pushed backwards all the way back to the starting line. In the end, we spent 30 mins just rowing and rowing without a decent progress.
Still, this persistence and determination won the station master over. We simply went through an endurance test instead of the relay test. Definitely, the toughest activity throughout the whole camp.


At night, we were all into the relaxed mood as it was performing time! The whole camp was split into 5 different sections (Spartians, Retros, Cyborgs, Pirates, Cavemen). Each section had to come out with a cheer and a role play. I was in the Spartian section. Fierce we were, strong we were.

For the play, I was involved in the play where i had to dress and act like a caveman. So candidly, I simply jumped around in caveman-like attire, with a strnage caveman language. Friends whom I knew before this camp must have been quite surprise to see me do those stuffs. hahaha... In the end, though our section did not win the performance or cheer, I had a great time, watching and involving. Before the night was over, we had a short mambo session.


Day 3 :
This day was the last day of camp and all of the groups had to complete the Final Challenge. Here, every group had to go through 8 stations across a distance of about 3km. Timing would be recorded and the average timing in the respective section will use to determine which was the best section from the camp.

To me, this was a kinda examination for the team, testing us on what we have learnt throughout the camp. Here are some of the memorable stations :

1) Caterpillar walking :
Coming to this station, I thought it was easy to accomplish. We had to be tied together using Masking tape and together as if like a caterpillar, we had to walk a stipulated distance. However, this is the one of only failed task. How so, the masking tape were tied in a way that it snap or was simply not sticky enough for our soles to bare. Valuable time was wasted here and it kinda lowered the morale, given the fact the it was only our 2nd station.

2) Legs rotating pail of water.
Here, we had to lift up, rotate a pail 360" using only our legs. Here, it simply required full coordination from the whole team and we completed the 2 rounds with ease. It was simply a simplfied version of how a team should plan, simulate, execute. The only shack thing from this station was that I volunteered to be the one to fill up pail of water for the facilitator where the toilet was about 150 metres away from the station. Totally Shack!!!

3) Water-Filling Barrel
This station was the last station for the Final Challenge, yet it was toughest of all. A ball was inside a big barrel which was filled with holes. The main aim was simply to fill it up with water and force the ball out of the barrel.
Quickly, girls were down to the barrels to block the holes, while the guys were off running to collect the water from the sea (which was about 20 metres away up slope). Things went on smoothly early on where managed to fill up the barrel with water at a very fast pace. However, things got a little cocked up when we could not splash the ball out of the barrel. We tried different methods. From multiple splashing, to simply just filling it up with water, we had difficulty completing it. By this time, the guys were getting lathegic and the pace got a little slower. To my amazement, Ling yi and Sihui started to help us with the filling of water. Things resumed pace soon and we managed to force the ball out successfully. Without any further thought, we ran with our might to the finishing line.

Though completed, we as well as the other groups within section stayed around the area and continue to cheer the other Spartian group from the latter details. The Spartian race showed tremendous spirit. We simply cheered all the way for all of the teams, offering advises on how to complete the Barrel task. After the last group, the whole lot of us ran havoc at the sea, posing pictures, throwing people around and shouting like crazy warriors.

Things got to a much slower pace after the Final Challenge. We were given ample time to bathe, eat, pack up. The next few hours were bascially doing a final debriefing, chit-chatting.

As the results were out, Spartians indeed won the Final Challenge!!! On the individual group basis, based on the results, we were not the top 3 groups because the winning team had Power cards (one is to deduct time while the other is to skip a station). However, if purely based on our real timing without any power cards, my group came out tops within the section. We had really accomplish what we had set out to do. Learn, Fail, Grow and Win as a Group, As One!

The next meetup will most probably be the Convocation and the Freshmen Bash. Till then, let's hope that each of the team members will bring the experience and use it wisely in our respective future work...

Rearrangement of room

Rearrangement of room


Above is the picture of my rearranged room. Its not clear from this angle on the whole room, but for my mum who knows how it was before that, im sure she will have a lot of comments to make once she comes to Bedok...

These were some pictures i took when we were at Fort Canning.

Car Rental Trip

Car Rental Trip

This time we got a car through my grand-aunt who has contact in this area.

Day 1 :
I went to collect the car early in the morning from the company that was located in Kembangan. Drove all the way to NUS to pick up Tengfu who had a meeting. I was there early, driving ard the campus aimlessly... haha... It was only after half an hour of touring ard the sch that i managed to get Tengfu to direct me to his place.

Anyway, rental car has always its interesting stories to tell. The first was when Tengfu took over the wheel to drive us back to the East side. Our next itenary was to head to my Sengkang home to help me with the moving of stuff to Bedok. He was just turning out from the carpark when he or rather WE nearly got knocked by a campus bus. It was damn freaking close. Luckily, after that towards Sengkang it was smooth. We stopped over at Upper Seragoon to eat some Teochew porridge first before heading to my house.

Once at my house, mum, Tengfu and I had to move all the boxes over. I even managed to squeeze in the book shelf over. Too bad, one thing i missed out was my feather pillow. Sucks...
So quickly it was off to Bedok.

Ok to those who didnt know why the hell am i moving... Here's a brief explanation...
The house in Bedok is my grandma's house. I have stayed there during my Secondary to Poly days. It was because of army that i moved back to stay with my family. Now that school is starting, plus the fact that my grandma isnt the person she was a couple of years ago (now a maid is taking care of her alone at home), I thought it was best that i could do is to move back to stay with her.

Oh well, after moving house, we headed to this very old historical coffee house which was situated at 204 East Coast Road. The menu is similar to Ya Kun just that it is only a one store business. I needed to get something from IKEA so right after the simple tea and coffee, we headed to the Tampines outlet.

At Ikea, it was fun shopping. They had this clearance sale and I managed to buy a couple of items at only $10. I got some cupboard file holder, a waste paper basket, CD rack, Book holder, and also a clothes rack. hehe.. totally cool!

For dinner, we headed to Chomp Chomp. Tengfu havent been there before. I wasnt quite sure of the route, so it took us sometime to get there. Now, here's the next incident. We had a hard time finding a carpark. At one junction, I was kinda stuck and had to U-turn back to the main area to find a lot. However, to do that, i had to do a 3-point turn. Because of that my front part of the car went over the kerb 2 times and had a huge knocking sound. Luckily, all was still ok on the outside when we checked it afterward. In the end, we had to park the car some 200 metres away from the food centre.

At the centre itself, it took us another 20 odd mins to get our seats. Tf gave me the choice of food. In the end, we ordered Hao Jian, Hokkien, Rojak, Chwee Kuay, fried tofu and Wanton, and not forgetting the HUGE sugarcane with lemon. Freakingly full!!!!

Next, Tf planned to just tour around Orchard area just for the fun of it. So there was where we went right after that. It was pretty funny yet scary in some sense. Tf is not sure about the area even though Singaporeans ought to know the Orchard area well. He made some errors in some turns and had to U-turn back a couple of times. Though there were some scary moments, all was still safe in the end.

We tried to head Holland V for a drink but parking was tough and we ended up back in Rocher to eat Tau Huay.

Day 2 :
The car was with me after the night before. I went to pick Tengfu for breakfast. We wanted to eat the bread and coffee at Chin Mei Chin, but because of the huge crowd, we ate prata at a nearby coffee house instead.

Tf suggested to go to Fort Canning so we headed there right after breakfast. There i took some interesting pictures. We even went into the National Museum but we could not go into the tour cos we did not pay for it.

I had to meet with my poly mates as it was a meetup for Say Wai's birthday. During this time, Tf went to meet with Aaron for lunch. When tengfu came back to fetch me, he had a bad news. He kena summon during lunch when Aaron brought him back to eat Teochew Porridge, the same place I brought him to the previous day. All it took was just half hour of makan to incur that cost... Sucks right..

Anyway, up next, we went to IMM and Mustafa Centre. For dinner, he suggested Indian food since we were in Little India. So, we decided on one place near the area. We didnt know what we were ordering, so we just picked whatever we thought should be ok.

We headed back to Holland V, and this time we managed to find a parking lot. There, we sat at Coffee Club for a chat. We spoke nearly 2 hours man.. About work, future, girls, and studies...

Though the trip was a kinda last min thingy, still it had its interesting incident to tell about... Would not know when the next one will be especially Tf have to fly to Sweden next year for his overseas exchange...

Oh yes.. and this was the picture that the whole grp in ELW took on the last day. Totally wacky and fun grp!!

ELW - English Language Workshop

ELW - English Language Workshop

Well, it was something that i did not look forward to among all the pre-school term activities, I had to attend a 5 day workshop where all I have to learn is the basics of English.

Being in poly, many of the ppl like me had to attend the course. For my class, all of us were from poly. I didnt taught of the situation before the start of the course... Guess i was busy with my Red Cross Camp.

Anyway, on the first day of the workshop, little did I imagine that the week were to be quite fun at times. How so? I guess the main reasons were that the tutor was good and the company of the classmates who were in the same situation as me.

The tutor was cute i must say. Though not strict, she is cautious in her teaching, trying to ensure that our English do not stray. Some of her actions or behaviour were funny. So i cant help it but to say that she's cute.

Once a simple introduction was made from the whole class, we realised that all of us were actually from Polytechnic. Shockingly, it was the first time in any group of class, there were no single JC student. That had gave me a sense of belonging especially after we interact through activities and conversations during mealtimes. We had lots of fun playing games that were introduced by the JC ppl during our respective camps prior to the workshop. Though the theorical part of the lesson can be boring at times, I felt very nice to have attended the workshop. I really do hope that I can continue to work with some of them in the near future, be it project or assignments.

Now that the workshop is over, everyone's a little afraid of the results of our Enlish grade. Given the chance, I sure do hope to get to know some of them more.

Journey in Red Cross 2007

Journey in Red Cross 2007

All right... finally found some time to type about the Red Cross.

Like in my previous post, it wasnt the most fun of the 3 camps that i have went so far, but in terms of meaningfulness, it definitely is the one to go to. Bondue and Sports were all about making friends, trying out new stuffs, and having loads of fun, but Red Cross have this added "feature" that made the camp meaningful.

Day 1 :
As with the other camps, we had to meet up at school, do some ice breaker games. The first main activity of the day was to HSA or rather Health Science Authority. There, we attend a talk and tour to get to know more about Red Cross and the process of donating blood in Singapore.

Up next, was a trip to the Red Cross Home for the Disabled (RCHN). There, we got to see the condition of the patients and the living environment. For me, it was the first time coming into contact with such patients. There consists of patients from a tender age of 3 years to 50-odd year old patients. Being disabled, they were much different from us normal human being in terms of physical and mental abilities. I cant say that it was shocking to me, but i must admit that i did not know how and what to do when i went around with the tour.

At the school, we were given time to discuss what we should do for the Home. For my grp, we were assigned to decorate some of the rooms to make it brighter and nicer. Within an hour of discussion, we managed to come up with a basic concept of designs for the rooms.

Near evening time, we had a tour awaiting for us. It was called the Myth Buster. This tour was led by a man called Charles. What we did was that we had visited a couple of places where Myths were rumoured around Singaporeans. He brought us to these places to help tell us the real stories behind the different sites. Overall, it was a knowledgable experience. We get to travel to places like Old Punggol road, Grange Road, Hillview Ave...

At night, we went off for supper! We went to Timbre, a nearby open pub which serves some excellent pizzas. Our groups have the luxury of having three year 4 students. They have given us some useful advise about school life as well as places like timbre to chill out.


Day 2 :
The whole day were in school basically spending most of the time prepareing the decoration for the rooms back in RCHD.

In the late afternoon, we attended a short lesson about basic First Aid. For me, it was more of a refresher lesson though i managed to pick up some useful medical knowledge from the trainer.

Later in the evening, we were given some interesting intellectual games to play that needs teamwork. Though i played before, it was still something that is still as new to me. We were given materials which were basic tools used to build a structure to store an egg in it. The test was to drop the structure from 5th storey down to 3rd storey. Our initial structure was able to withstand the drop and we managed to gain full points. But little did we know that we had to put in another egg after that with what's remaining of our stucture. Too bad, it was just not strong enough. The organising committee added some interesting feature in the game. They acted like medical staff or fire brigade rescuers to save the egg from the drop.

Late at night , it was more supper at Rocher and Timbre for a drink. Some of us managed to talk after that. In the end, most of us slept at around 5am.

Day 3 :
Most of us were shack with the lack of sleep we had from the previous long night. Anyway, we head off to RCHD for the main event we had planned throughout the camp.

Once there, each of the group started off with our task. We spent time pasting our artpieces on the walls while communicating with some of the patients at the same time whereever possible. We had the chance to talk to some of the patients, feed them during their meal time and simply just try to make their day.

One patient which took the hearts from many of us was this little boy who was about 2-3 years old. On the outside, he looks normal to me. I was puzzled on what kind of disability he had. A few of us simply stood beside him for a period of time. Seeing him stuggling with phaglem, coughing makes us feel so sad. For such a young child to be going through this, we as normal people could never imagine how to be like him. He did not have much reaction to what we do. This has definitely got to be one of my most memorable incident i had during my camp.
