Double events in a day

Date: 18th April 2008

Venue: Orchid Country Club
Time:8.30am

It was a half day for my unit as we have a cohesion line up to thank us for last year hard work in the unit by our 'B2'. Around 25 people form my unit arrive at OCC at Yishun around 8.30am but the cohesion only start at 9am................ So early..... But its a day for relax and away from work in NS............


I took a shuttle bus from outside yishun mrt station. Several of the unit mates are also there waiting for the bus.. It took about 10mins to reach the Country club. We got change in a changing room. You all must be wondering what programs line up for us.


The game PAINTBALL await us. PAINTBALL is a tatical game which involve achieving ur objective and have fun. Also revenge and shoot the person that you hate most and the only chance..... HEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


We only started the game at 9.40am. Before that, we have to fill up some forms and also a safety brief and go on a orientation of the place of the game.


team1: B2 and 4 people
team2: SMO and 4 people
team3: ANT and 4 people
team4: DYS3 and 4people
team5: Jeff and 4 people


I was in team3 with my warrant spec. WHHAHHAHA! Sure win. The first game , we won against team 4 . The game was play like winner get 3points loser get 0points A group match format where you play 2 rounds against opposition, there is no like eliminiation format.

The game was higly intensity. It's like a war game except not real weapons. The so-called samll rifle contain a gas bottle and a paintball holder that contains the 'ammo' The paintball is released by the forced of the gas bottle that burst out from the chamber. We play around like 2hr and 30mins. But some of us got some bruise as the paintball once hit your body parts. it hurts lah. we were brief as the bruise will subsize over few days. Even though there were protection gears issue like mask and chest. That means other body parts will be exposed. Wah lao! I kanan shoot also . Pain sia.... I have like three bruise on my hands lah....................................Blue black ..........

Eventually, my team finish 3rd overall. Top 3 finished standing:

1st team: JEFF team
2nd team: SMO team
3rd team: ANT team

The game finished at 11.40am. We went on to take a shower and change to new set of clothes. The game place was quite dirty and a bit mudy. The paint on my jeans and shirt and shoe, but it is washable.

At 12.20pm, we were at a chinese restaurant. At there, we were served a 10-course meal.The food was quite nice and eat till full sia. After the meal, B2 give a short speech and gave out the prizes for the winner for the paintball. WHHAHAHH! So happy! My team got a soccerball and some other small prizes ....................... Better than other team prizes.... WHAHHAHAHAHHA!


The lunch ended around 2.15pm. I quickly rushed ddown with some of my unit mates to catch the shuttle bus out of OCC. My next venue.........


Venue: Temasek Polytechnic
Time:3.15pm

I reached TP and immediately went to the sports complex for the pack of actions of schools battle. Its the games period. As every year, the freshmen orientation begins as schools battle it out for the coverted School champion! I went to the engineering school section where freshies and mentor dressed in purple cheer out their lungs.


I was greeted by my ex-boss, Mr Teo from the student development. Then i make my way down to greet other staffs of enginnering school, Mrs Tay S.P, Mr Andrew and Director of S.D Mr John Leong.

The atmosphere is always so high and flare of spirits to support the own schools was so tense.
Moving on next, the regatta, the battle of dragon boat at the bedok reservior, also the performance lineup for the judges to give points for the performance and also results for the overall champion of FO.


Indeed, the same old feeling i have last couple of years whereby, i was a student leader and leading the charge and cheers to catch the attention of the judges. This year was not exception.
I see the FA and mentors trying all their best to shout and cheers. Imagine that i was doing it for last round and imagining i was there in their own shoes too.


As expected, Business school sweep most of the trophies, 5 trophies, they sweep away 4 of them and therefore remained their unbeaten winning streak over the years. yet again, Engineering School remained as silent and sad as ever.


After the results ended, I meet up with Wei Li and part of M2, Joanne,Fion,Kun rong,sharon,diana for dinner makan at 85bedok................................................................

The day was very fulfiling and nice.................At 85bedok, we order a lot of food and ate. Quite full liao.... WAHHAH! After makan , we parted our way. Fion, kunrong,sharon flying off at 28th april and have to wait 2 months till they are back.............. See next week whether got time to meet them up before they fly offf....................................................................
