SECONDARY ONE ORIENTATION CAMP!

WOOHOO LETS GO HANA!!!!

Haha alright so my group's name is Hana :D Its hawaiian for ACTION BABY! (cut out the baby)

So my group is pretty great, im paired w Mahdi and Wen Shuan to lead them, so as usual the beginning's a little awkward and we said Hi to them and all before heading to the Lecture Theatre.

So as usual, the first half of the camp was all the long talks on values and all, its boring but really meaningful if you listen, which half of the sec 1s didnt do. But anyway they still knew our core values haha, FAITH SERVICE & COMMUNITY!

Then we watched a slideshow of us showing faith service and community. SILLY POSES AGAIN HAHAHA, i really really really really love those slideshows. So it ended then i brought them for peer support session ONE.

I got the pack of worksheets and pens and all. So it was the icebreakers, to end to know one another. So we wrote our name with an adjective that starts w the same letter as the first letter of our name. EG: Jovial joey, and as what one sec 1 wrote, HOT HUSSAIN.

Haha it was really fun, then when i was asking them to write, i realised i finally was in the position i dreamt of being in two years ago. The first day of Sji, i already made a promise to be a PSL and a great one too, so there i was =) Then we stuck them on, fooled around for a while before i split them up into pairs to talk to each other about their stuff.

Then sharing and all, and everyone was considerably closer luh. Then we went for Games #1!

1. Uhh, eh shit i forgot haha. Ok wait i remember a three legged race so we'll start w that :D

Ok it was a combination of Dog and Bone with Three Legged Race. You find a pair, tie a leg to your partners leg and hop towards the 'bone(water bottle)' in the centre. You can either win by grabbing the bone and getting back to your base without getting touched by your opponent, or just wait for the opponent to grab it and touch them so you win. Looked really, hard and most of all, PAINFUL. Small tight rope tied around their leg, surely get ropeburn luh. We lost badly though haha, i think it was 7-3. Cos the PSLs didnt play :D

2. Ok i think we did the Water Bomb Catapult!! So everyone found a pair as usual, since it was about team work, and one has to take their shirt off. SO as usual everyone resorted to the thing Sji guys do when making a decision. SCISSORS PAPER STONE. So one by one they took their shirt off and each person held one end.

Then theres a net, you have to lob the water bomb above it to the opponents field, without going out of the court and hope they dont catch it or it bursts when they catch it. Super fun, Mahdi got super wet from a waterbomb that hit his pants haha. In the end we won 5-4 :D Close match haha. Then i took a bomb and threw it at one of the facilitators haha, he got soaked =P

But then two sec 1s, Anjan and Hussain got into a quarrel cos apparently one pushed another and me and mahdi had to break it up and it became alright =)

3. Mass Dutch Skipping! Ok so theres a guy holding each end of the rope, and the rest goes in the middle. And the guys swing the rope and they all try to jump over it. Beginning not even one but after trying their limit was 6, continuously. Ok for Sec 1s luh, during our training camp, our team got 26 times :D So after that there was a competition, whoever jumps out of time and got caught or snagged by the rope, they go out. Then it got lesser and lesser people till left Eden( Small active guy) and Ms Wee ( The class teacher/Ncc teacher) In the end Ms wee won luh, she was a high rank in army last time haha.

4. MINE FIELD! Ok we didnt really do it cos they said we had to go back haha. BUT I GOT TO THROW HELL LOTA BOMBS!! I grabbed some bombs and ran before they stopped me and threw them at a facilitator and threw the rest at IMRAN WAHAHA. THey i took the plastic bags and made my own bombs. Imran kept missing so in the end he chased me and smashed it on my shirt haha, so my left side was soaking. Then i got the last bomb, and was chasing imran then, A SEC 1 TRIED TO SNATCH IT AND BURST IT! Grrrrrr, i nearly strangled him haha, but i just told him nevermind when he apologised.

Then we went back to the Lecture Theatre and Rui Zhi ( Head Prefect ) took a water bomb, dragged imran out and wanted to smash it in his face. THEN IMRAN MANAGED TO OVERPOWER RUI ZHI AND SMASHE DIT AT RUI ZHI. Totally makes no sense, The scout overpowered the Canoeist. Then we were all laughing like mad haha.

Then we did songs and cheers and everyone was pretty close by then :D

Then we went for dinner and all before heading to our classrooms. Then everyone changed and we played soccer! Enjoy playing w sec 1s heh, scored two hat tricks ( Girls, in other words, its 6 goals ). Best thing is they treat you like God when your better than them :D But then Mahdi joined their team and then it was equal already luh, they kept passing to us two luh, so we kept passing back to them so they could play too.

THEN SHOWER TIME WAHAHA!

So we brought them down, then followed them to the showers. Me and Wen Shuan had to make sure they completely stripped, AND AS A RESULT WE SAW HORRIFIC STUFF. Haha their shower more fun then my orientation camp, during our time, it was super strict so we couldnt play but then they were all slapping butts and dancing around haha. So we just let them play since we were all boys. When your done w the showers, you feel like doing it again since its al over, super fun one haha. Then we did Session two, on your stress level and all. Made them all draw figures of themselves.

HILARIOUS DRAWINGS. One reminded me of an even more spastic Mr Bean. So once again Mahdi and Wen Shuan was listening while i was to say everything again. Made them draw a life graph on their important ups and downs in their life before sharing it. Very imformative session. THen made them draw balloons and bricks, balloons symbolising the things that cheer you up in life and bricks that weigh you down in life. And finally, draw a water level, the higher it is, means that your drowning in pressure and the lower it is, shows that your very relaxed. As usual all the sec 1s put at their toes and al while the PSLs were putting it at super high haha.

So after that we were all super close already luh. Then we all went for NIGHT WALK!

It was like a Amazing Race SJI. First clue was " Time for computer studies " So we let them do it themselves, not giving any hints and they got it right. So we did charades against another group! Its like someone hears the word from Rui Zhi and tries to use hand signals to let the team guess what the word is. But no talking and no mouthing the words. WE LOST WAHAHA, only mahdi participated cos we were only short of one person.

Then next clue, some weird holy phrase with the word Beurel in it. So they headed to the library and did the Hands feets and legs game. Like the guy tells you, 15 hands, 18 legs and 5 butts with 8 knees. And the whole team has to have those stuff touching the floor luh. We won :D But yet again, winning isnt everything, its what you learn from that =)

Then next it was, i dunno some thing to do with squash cos they set off for the squash court very quickly haha. Then we just chilled at the seats while they did their activity haha. Then we went to do a keyboard game, where there are many letters around in a square but you cant step inside and you have to tap it to spel they word they said. The word was Saint Josephs Institution.

The sec 1s screwed it up cos one guy was dreaming away and kept pressing the wrong button so we lost haha. THen the final one was uhh, i not sure i was lying on the bench heh. Then they went to do their activity was ran to the Lecture Theatre since we were done. WE WERE THE FIRST TEAM! Well not much of a deal but the sec 1s were very happy and me and mahdi got to play with the mikes so we were happy to :D:D

Then it was supper, pizza bread! I took 4 servings haha. BUT I GAVE ONE AND A HALF TO MAHDI. So its not alot =P Then Ms Tan ( Sec 2 Form Teacher ) chatted with me about the leadership position, she thought i was doing great :D And Ms wee ( Ncc teacher ) said she did the right thing about nominating me as PSL. She said i was one of the best :D:D Flattery gets you everywhere haha. AND I GOT PROMOTED RANK IN NCC WAHA. Finally, now im Corporeal :D

Then it was reflections. THE SEC 1S WERE SO LUCKY! Ours had candles and lasted 45 minutes at 1+ am so it was super sleepy! Especially with Rui Zhi praying. THeir lasted only 10 minutes so it was alright. So the sec 1s went to sleep while the PSLs sneaked around haha. Brandon and Wee Kiat sneaked out to the Esso cos the SECURITY GUARD WAS SLEEPING HAHA. Then in order to hide the chips and drinks, they put it in the pants so Mahdi kept putting his hands in his pants and pulling out a lays chipand eating it hahahaha.

Then went to sleep.

"-GIRLY GIGGLING-"

-Felt some ticklish thing as my side-

"-MORE GIRLY GIGGLING-"

Then i flipped around and they all SCREAMED.

Yes screamed. Disturb me when i want to sleep luh. So i ended up playing soccer with them again haha. Then breakfast, bee hoon with hotdog and fishball.

Before we went for a short talk, then games part 2!

1. WITHOUT DOUBT THE MOST FUN GAME EVER! Sock game!

Everyone takes off their shoes and socks, and tucks their sock in their pants. So everyone has to run and try to snatch the sock out of the opponents pants, (theres a piece of sock dangling out to grab ). We were one person short so I WENT IN TO HELP MUAHAHAHA. I snatched like countless socks luh, they are so easy to catch them so i just sprint and snatch it and sprint back haha. So you put the socks snatched on your chair, and the opponent can revived those people without a sock by stealing the socks we snatched from our chair. So some defended and some attacked. We owned them flat haha. THen all the PSLs played and Me, Mahdi and Wen Shaun won even moe easily haha. Last time during training camp we won flat too haha, thats why it was fun for us =)

2. MINE FIELD, NOW WE REALLY PLAY!

So they draw a grid, and you are to move forwards, backwards or sidewards to get to the end. Once you step on a mine, you get water bombed haha. SUper fun, luh our sec 1s won, they super lucky luh. THey got it real fast. Then they started bombarding us. I caught one and threw it back but Sarsin caught it again haha. Lucky luh or else all the PSF( Peer Support Facilitators) would be soaked.

3. Spider web!

THeres a web of strings and you have to get across without touching the strings more than 3 times. It was a basic game but the PSFs were super friendly and fun so it was great =)

I nearly got a perfect score with Mahdi but was both got caught at the end, gotta be really small sized or really tall to get over it hah. So Wen Shuan and Hussain got through easily.
Hussain is 134cm! Real short but hes super funny and cute luh. He keeps looking at me, gives this cheeky smile and say hi, hi,hi,hi,hi,hi over and overhaha. THen when i dont say hi back he says im unfriendly hahahaha. As for Wen SHuan, hes super tall so he just stepped over all the strings hahahaha.

Then we did Session 3. Trust and feelings. DId a trust circle and everyone was asked to relax, taking turns to be passed around the circle. And then breaking into pairs, taking turns to fall whle the partner catches you. Then we did the Secret Message game, one piece of paper, your name and it gets passed around while everyone writes someone about one another. Was very contented with my comments =)
Then Mahdi left for The Arena photo-taking, GOOD LUCK MAHDI AND BRANDON AND EMMANUEL!

So me and Wen Shan brought them to the PAC(Performing Arts centre) and practised the badge pinning session. Then after that we went back to class and tried rehearsing when to do for their bonfire, thats in two weeks. I was really tired cos i slept at close to 3 and woke at 6.30 so i went to sleep on a bench outside the lesson haha. STUPID BRANDON! He saw me sleeping, called my name and said Mr Ang is coming. SO I SHOT UP FROM THE BENCH and realised he was joking. stupidddddd!

Then after an hour the class PSLs called me to wake up and helped them. THe class was chaotic luh, no control. 7 PSLs and they couldnt control a class -.- So i went in, fooled awhile w the sec 1s before Wen Shaun starting scolding me for not helping them. SHOCKING RESULTS MAN. I shouted once at them to keep quiet and them all went silent. Power :D Then i banged the tables of those sleeping and told them to wake up. So cool luh, so instead of giving them the song of what to do, i gave them two choices and they picked one before we started making out the plot. Then Ashraf asked who they thought was the best PSL and they said it was me. My heart melted luh haha, seriously. Meant a whole lot to me haha, Ashraf expected them to say it was him so he was choking abit haha.

Then we did a performance for Ms wee before we went to the PAC to do the badge pinning. The parents were all waving to the students haha, then we went to pin them. The students all looked so constipated luh. So i shaked the hands and hugged him, they all so stiff, only two out of 5 hugged back aha.

Then we went back while the parents came to fetch them. Then when saying Bye, all the sec ones came to hug me OMG. I felt so touched like, all swarm around me saying bye joey and some did the hip hop hug thing, grab hand, tighten, pull the guy closer and smack his back. The satisfaction was so great =) Finally fulfiled a dream haha. And now ill bring them to church WAHAHA!

Anyway, looooooong post for those that read all the way, BYE EVERYONE!
