Orientation Camp (FIRST DAY)

New and current members went for a camping trip at Blue Lagoon, Port Dickson last weekend. It was aimed to strengthen the relationship between members and to have FUN!!! It was not the usual adventurous orientation camps organized in the past but it was a more leisure camping trip on the beach....^-^ A big clap and million thanks to the organising committees for making it worked and ran smoothly....

At around 8:30 a.m., we departed from TBS after having a simple breakfast at Foh Foh. We only departed when the teacher adviser, Miss Alina and also known as the ROCK briefed us on some safety measures that should be taken and also ordered all the drivers NOT TO SPEED!!

We finally reached Blue Lagoon at about 11. We were divided into 4 groups and the 1st task assigned to each group was to come out with a group name with cheers and an interesting story line using the nicknames of every member in the group. We will have to present on that after we set up our tents.

Now time to set up tents!!! It was not an ordinary setting up tents activity, instead of letting the experienced members to instruct the members who do not know how to set up tents, the members whom do not have any idea at all on how to do it became group leaders for six groups. They were assigned with the job to instruct the other blind-folded members to set up the tents, COOL right?? The coolest part of all was all the other members weren't suppose to give any comments and must follow strictly what their group leaders instructed. It was an activity that promoted trust and teamwork amongst members, which is vital in order to succeed in organising and carrying out events.

Blind-folded members....OMG, we couldn't see anything!!!

Group leaders were busy preparing...

Yerrr....Teddy looked like Ah Po...he-he...


Pizza was pretending to be COOL... Sunny boy wah...

After all the groups succeeded in setting up the tents, there was a certain time allocated for everyone to rest and get some water...After about half an hour, the presentation of each group for the group cheers and stories were presented in an orderly manner...Many groups came out with weird names like We are the Siao One and Sa Kai gang. All groups possessed great creativity and came out with a ONE OF A KIND story, associated with actions and sounds...he-he.. Groups' performance, everybody was trying hard to impress the audience!!!

After the presentation, members had KFC as their lunch after starving for quite a long time. Besides that, a pandan birthday cake was prepared for Nemo and Pizza. Happy Belated Birthday to Pizza and Nemo!! Everyone was well satisfied with all the food, yum yum...(finger licking good)
KFC company should consider advertising us...wohoo, see how we promoted your chickens!!! Let's cut the cake together
Wao...so romantic...

After having lunch, members started to play team building games such as the monkeys see monkeys do, Egyptian mummies, SAC friendship tower and the Tarantula. Though the hardest task of all was the Tarantula, we managed to complete the task in 19minutes, WOHOO!! All these games promoted the importance of teamwork,trust and determination if we wanted to complete the tasks given. Of course, there were some members that failed to trust their partners and they were to be punished...ha-ha...
Poor Lalat, being pushed front and back...-.- Just follow me...this is called Monkeys see Monkeys do... Egg was demonstrating a scene in a movie...Guess what movie was it?Tarantula...everybody had to support the container at the middle and pour the contents into basket... Go guys!!wohoo...

After long hours of games, members were given some time to rest, clean up or to sleep due to exhaustion. Of course, members had BBQ for dinner!!! preparation before BBQ was never easy, few STRONG members digged a hole to put charcoal and some were busy preparing the food...lamb, beef, chicken, sausages, corn (yum yum...delicious...) and thanks to Pig's and Elephant's mums, lamb and beef were deliciously marinated... Guess who's butt was that?? he-he...
Lamb, chicken, beef....

We spent the night playing games and also BBQ...many of our food were added with extra ingredient which was the sand, but who cares? it did not stop all of us from eating. Most importantly, we had loads of FUUUUNNNNNNN!!!!
