Orientation Camp - Cherating

At 0630 0700, participants of the Orientation Camp departed from TBS in four cars. Namely, Banana’s, Wolf’s, Lalat’s and Sand Dragon’s.

We also stopped by Kuantan to have curry mee as lunch. Satisfied faces from having a scrumptious meal.

And finally, we arrived

to the beautiful Cherating
where Cookie awaits.

And immediately, we kicked off with the first game.
In this game, we are given a paper filled with details such as an animal you’d want to be, which SAC member you’d hug, which SAC member you’d like to be and find an SAC member that never slept in class.

So we started our search.

   Then, it was time for the truth to be revealed.
and it seemed like everyone was intrigued by it.

Mouse conducted the second game which requires fellow team mates to form a specific arrangement according to the paper they drew.
For example, a paper that says 5 hands and 4 legs would require all team members to only have that amount of hands and legs touching a small cardboard which acts as the platform.
The aim of the game was to generate a closer bond among team mates.

and it did reach it’s aim.

we got closer.

very close, indeed.

Next, it was time to set up the tents.

After setting up tent, we went on to our 3rd team building game.
This is a game which involves teams retrieving and flinging water balloons to other teams using a towel.

Team Hornbill.

Losers or winners, I believe everyone had a good laugh in this game.

Subsequently,it was the Amoeba Race.
Participants were split into two large groups where there is one navigator who conveniently broke his two legs and required one fella to carry him around, some acted as the cytoplasm whereas the rest of them were the membrane which had to link their arms together.
The navigator holds a parchment that describes the directions to follow and directs the rest of them.

I haven’t seen any pictures of the teams as the amoeba, but it will be posted up as soon as I received any.

[edited 030909] The next game is water rugby. Much like the regular rugby, the aim is to snatch the ball and bring it over to safety. But the twist is, there is only one member of the team that can touch the ball. And this member has to sit on the shoulders of another member while the rest acts as the bodyguard.
However, due to insufficient time and confusions among the players, this game was unsuccessful and participants ended up just getting the ball back to shore.

As the sun begins to set, participants prepare for the much anticipated barbecue.

The best food in the barbecue.

Due to lack of food, participants head to the nearby restaurant where we waited for hours till the food arrived.

Finally, everyone went to bed or more specifically, a sleeping bag.

On the second day, plans to start with the activities at 0500 failed due to the rain.
Instead, we woke up at 0700 and had our breakfast.

Once the rain stopped, we played a treasure hunt where we looked for bottles buried in the sand according to given clues.

And since they were suppose to look for it individually, the rest of them,

played volleyball

or just posed as a mak cik.

The rain continued again after that and we were forced to cancel the plans for the rest of the day and pack up.

Group picture!

We left the beach at about 1200 and headed back to TBS.

But of course, we stopped by for lunch.

And we thank Cookie for organizing this camp!
Get well from that nasty bite! :D
