School Orientation CampWhat a boring title...
Okay anyways who gives a damn about the title. We had an orientation camp on 9th and 10th of Jan.
---Day 1---
On the first day they split us into groups according to out index number. People with odd-numbers go into group 1/5A and people with even-numbers go into group 1/5B.
Then later we played some games with our groups. We played 'blanket'. Two people will sit facing each other with a blanket inbetween and when the OGLs lower the blanket we have to say the person's name. We also played a bunch of other games. Our OGLs are Natasha, Ain, Hazel, Cherie, Jia Hui and Benjamin.
Later we had to come up with a name to put on our group flag. Everyone(almost) said 'Dunnoe leh' and so someone suggested 'One Fine Bee' since our group is '1/5B'. Ya I know its lame but it was kind of creative too, right?
After that we went to play games at the various stations. The first game is where we hav to run around a stick 10 times, then go to the OGL who will place a potato chip on ur forehead and you have to use your facial expressions to move the chip to your mouth and eat it, and then lastly you have to go to the chair with three cups, 1st and 2nd filled with flour and 3rd with water, and blow a ping pong ball from the 1st cup to the 3rd.(<-LONGGEST SENTECE EVER!) I didn't play it because there wasn't even time. But I didn't want to play it anyway.:P
The second game is called 'Running water'(<-omg! I remember!). An OGL will pour water into the first person's cup and the person has to bite the bottom of the cup and pass the water to the next person without using his/her hands. We screwed up when we laughed and dropped the cup.
Then we went for lunch! We were damn hungry so I finished everything(hotdog, giant palm-size fishcake and rice) except for the vegetables and abit of rice.
We went for the next game, which is to make the longest line with our belongings(shoes and socks inclusive!) The ground was super-hot so we were jumping around like mad because we took off our shoes and socks.
After that, it was a game called 'Cherish'. We had to stand on chairs. And pass the chairs to the back. The last person had to place the chair down and go on until we reach the chair at the back. Then we have to run on the chairs to the end.
The next game was something to do with newspapers. We were given 5 pieces of newspapers and we had to step on them and use them to get to the other side. We cannot touch the ground. We had to make 2 trips and we didn't tear the newspaper to shreds yet! The other groups' newspapers were in shreds. And we won our first station game! Whooooo!
The last game was 'Catch me' or something. We had to pass water balloons over our heads to the person behind. Some of the water balloons were very wobbly. So we just about dropped them imediately. Plus we can't turn around. But we can talk.
We had teabreak and learnt a bunch of songs and cheers then we went home. Whee!!!
---Day2---
We went back, played a bunch of mass games. We had to move around from place to place. I'm not going to explain in detail about the games because its so TROUBLESOME.
Later we learnt some new cheers and songs then we went for lunch.
After that we started discussing our campfire performance. I volunteered to be the designer because I didn't want to perform and shout till I have a sore throat.
During the campfire we were 'dragged' to create our mascot. Our model kept moving around and tore the slash at least ten times and plus the slash kept falling off so I pasted a few masking tapes to tape it to his shirt. We made him the statue of liberty. We don't know why but one or the OGLS suggested it so we just did it.
Later around 7+ we went out and sat down with our class. We did a Riverside wave then they turned on a few lights at the 2nd storey since it was getting really dark(But I like it dark!). We watched a video(It has a video of Gek Khee eating the potato chip at the first station game!) and then they gave out the prizes. Our group won two!!! One was for the best campfire performance(our class, 1/5) and the other I don't know(our group 1/5 B).
After that we collected our bags and went home.
