Today, we had a wonderful day with the boys, as it was our games day with them! We played charade with the boys and it was a lot of fun as it helped us to get to know the boys, and bridge the gap between us.
It all started of with dividing the boys into 3 different groups and each of us had to join a group. The main purpose of the game was that each of us had to follow the actions of the previous person in a line and ultimately, the last person had to guess a word or phrase that was related to the actions. At first, the game did not go according to plan as some of the boys told the answer to the last player. However it did not last long as there was an introduction of the ‘three tall pillars’. Jun Han, Jun Wei and our beloved blockhead, Jian Wen, went to distract the view of the last person by using their height and size. It was indeed amusing as you could see them moving around, waving their hands, trying to prevent them from discussing the answer.
My group was next to take part in the charade. I was the first to act out the actions to the next person. However, when it was Seow Hong’s turn, instead of just acting out Zorro, he went on to do push ups and other hilarious stuffs. It really made everyone laugh. The best part was that he was supposed to act out Harry Porter. He went to touch his goatee and started jumping from one side to another. I guess he was trying to say ‘Hairy Portable’.
The day was filled with laughter and brought us closer to the boys, getting to know them better. All these would not have happened without the game masters’ thorough planning. Thus I would like to thank them for their effort and making the game a successful one.

Double reasons to celebrate
If you think a dinner beside the river that serves Indonesia’s delicacies such as Sambal sting ray, grilled chicken and satay will burn a big hole in your wallet, then volunteers from Block D and hostel can prove you otherwise!
On 2/2/2008, a lovely Saturday evening, volunteers from Blk D and hostel namely Chin han, Daisy, Hui wen, Huikoon, Khalisah, Boon ming, Yan sing, Hock heng, Jia yin, Chen hui, Hui ming, Desmond, Shikai(later part of the day) and me went down to Riverside Indonesia Restaurant to celebrate CNY and Daisy’s 21st Birthday! Before the main course, we did the Lau “yu sheng”.
It was a MESS. Everyone ate a lot that day especially Boon ming and Hock heng who each ate one wooden tub of rice! Guess they were really very hungry. =) After the dinner, we brought out the cake which we especially bought to celebrate Daisy’s 21st Birthday. I hoped the element of surprise was still there because she didn’t really look surprised when she saw the cake. We played a tiny prank on daisy by asking her to eat Wasabe, Chilli, Soya sauce and coffee before we gave her the present. Happy 21st Birthday DAISY!
We decided to walk to the “colourful bridge” after the dinner as we didn’t want to go home that early. After taking a few pics at the bridge, we proceeded on to Chinatown to get a feel of the CNY ambience and also check out the delicious CNY goodies. After squeezing out from the crowd in Chinatown, we headed towards Boat Quay where we played the Sparkles. We literally SMOKED out the area as the whole place was filled with smoke due to the sparkles! It was a miracle that no one mistook that as a fire breakout and called the Civil Defence.
It was around 11.40pm when we were done with the sparkles. Some of us went home while some of us stayed on to hang out at the nearby Mac to chill before taking a cab home. Everyone was happy at the end of the day all thanks to the superb planning by Hui wen. To end off, I would like to wish everyone a Happy Lunar New Year! =)
