NIE Runway 2012: Majulah CSI

A Snapshot of my GESL Group in action for NIE National Day Celebration, NIE Runway!

The half-day orientation held on 2 Aug 2012 was the 1st time I met my group members and trust me, they are awesome! Although we are all 'new' to each other, we are very open-minded and extroverts and starting laughing and joking:)


Throughout the NIE Runway project, it made me realized that my group members are very expressive and responsible 'teachers'. All of us took the initiative to prepare all the materials needed and came together to make our ideas come true! Thank you all for your enthusiasm and YES! We are a champion ourselves:)

  This was our design. 










Our Secretary as our Model:)










Here is a short video clip of our surprise!

PESS FOC CAMP 2012

PESS CAMP 2012 was held from 10 - 11 August 2012.

This is my awesome group, 'GG - GOOD to GREAT!' 

I must admit, the camp was good, and the people are awesome!

Thank you everyone. I truly enjoyed this memorable 2-day experience!


Day 1: 

Team bonding Activities - Bingo, Orientation around NIE, Group names, goals and targets (written on paper). Tell 2 truths and 1 lie.
Amazing Race - Bukit Timah Hill, Clementi West CC (abseiling), West Coast Park (Target games Ping Pong, Pass the message, Throw and Catch water bags with trash bags), Jurong Lake Park (traditional games), NTU SRC (bouldering).

Though it was a pity that our group did not managed to do dragon boat....



Most memorable activity would be the abseiling. At first, I was rather excited as it was not my first time. However, when I went to the top, I was scared stiff! LOL! Fortunately, I managed to overcome my fear.. Yet another awesome down!








Day 2: 

 Team bonding Activities  - 'human chain' (everyone are entangled and team should find ways to solve.)







'finger hola' (everyone will place a finger below the hola hoop and aim is to bring the hoop down to the group without lifting any of the fingers.)

'Pass through the hola-hoop' (1 hoops, 2 hoops in different direction.)







 'murderer' (everyone to sit down and join hands, facilitator will squeeze the hand once or twice and pass down to next person until the last person. Squeeze once - do nothing. squeeze twice - last person to stand up and snatch the ball from the other team).





'Pass the chair' (everyone to stand on 10 chairs, the last person will pass the chair forward and continue until team reaches the finishing line. Once a member fall off the chair, a chair will be removed). 


'Blow the ping pong' (Pair up and try to blow the ping pong ball up the bench into the bin)







'Dog & Bone'(players being called must run around the chair before snatching for the ball in the middle). 









'Volley - Tennis' (2v2, players to use tennis rackets and sponge balls in a badminton court. rules similiar to volleyball).

'Captain's Ball' (attackers gain a point by hitting the sides and gain 2 points by scoring into the net)

'pass the ping pong' (players to grab a plastic spoon using their mouths and pass the ping pong ball until the last player and throw it into the bin.)

'swimming' (3 members to swim and grab the wet sponge and pass to the players on land to squeeze into the water bottle.)

'Tchokball' - well, it is not really hockey but something similar. the stick can be used to catch the ball and throw the ball to other players. Score by throwing ball into net.

Not forgetting the Grand Finale! Performance!!! I think the other groups did really well! Of course, GG did fantastically well :)
