Today, we had arguable the best act for this year. It was structured games! At the start, we did the usual procedures and then the rest of the SU except for the pls and apls and other parade-involved-people went to meet jin kiat at the parade square. There, Mr Bernard Low and Mr Raymond Chan with the teacher leading the parade briefed us on the procedures for tmr. ANYWAYS, EVERYONE MUST COME TO SCHOOL TMR IN FSU. But, only parade involved people had to report to the clock tower at 6.50 :\ Sad life :((( So after the long pt for the SU and the briefing for pls and apls, we got to the main activity! We gathered at the horseshoe then the sec1s came along! The j1s announced the patrols they were assigned to. For hawk, we got 3 members named Arif, Raf and Ravook? These are tentative names and we hope to get to know the members better because we had only about 20-30 minutes of interaction with them. They are awesome people indeed, just like everyone in Hawk.
For the main act, there were 3 stations. The first station was Sour Grapes at Gym Hall Atrium Field. The second was the Chariot Race thing at Parade Square. The last station was the Blind Man's Knot thingy. We had it ordered rather nicely 3,2,1. So it was easily remembered. At the 3rd station which we went first, Kevin was there so we reported in with the new sec1s. Then, everyone was to be blind folded with the scarfs that we had brought. The PLs were the sub-station masters and we tied the knots for them to figure out. Since we took so long to get to the station because everyone was getting to know the sec1s better, we had the opportunity to only tie 2 knots which were the Reef and Figure of 8 Knot. After this, we pumped 50 after the sec1s left for a scarf dropped on the floor! SO LESSON LEARNT!
We then went to the second station for the chariot race. We had to tie a A Frame with 4 poles. Then a person had to go and sit on the frame and the rest of the patrol was to carry him to and fro of the Raffles Square. Hawk tied the square lashes very very very fast, faster than the speed of light. And of course Kestrel ^^ So we chionged all the way back and forth, swapping people to sit on the frame. We had 7 + 2 more who had to go again which were myself and Aaron. Our morale went from like "aaron's height" to "daniel yin around there height".
The last station we went to was the sour grapes station. We arrived earlier than the other patrol and Yi Ming thought us some IceBreakers Games for wednesday act! :D. The game sour grapes was quite simple. We had an extremely long pole with a short pole lashed at the top. Then, one by one patrol members were to climb up the pole vertically and hook their scarf at the top. At first, we tied it too long lol so we had to shorten it within reach of our ahem ahem, shorter members of the patrol.
Then Han Yao's phone got confiscated and yi ming passed it to me! :D So hanyao had to beg mercy to me and say that i am the "Supreme Commander of the World" or something like that to get his phone back. I applaud him effort immensely and i feel that everyone in the patrol has to learn from someone like him! :D jkjk. Anyways, we ended act on a high note and we all couldnt wait for the next act to know more about the sec1s!!! :)
FULL ATTENDANCE HIGHLY ENCOURAGED TYVM!
