Farewell Session

Pre-session Preparation

A week’s long of discussion on whether we should go to east coast park to watch sunrise or stay at hall area to BBQ. The emails were accidentally sent to Jian Wen as well but well, luckily he didn’t notice them. (Author’s note: Despite all the discussions and travelling arrangement, it was finally decided that we would spend the night at Sentosa! =P)

Session day

We had boys’ home ‘exchange programme’ today! All of us went down to block B instead of our usual block D. When the boys came into the room, they were very shy, clustering at the back of the classroom. After inviting them to sit with us, all of us did brief introduction and played board / card games with them. Soke Hwa, Daisy, Shi Kai & me were grouped with another two boys and we played the Mother Sheep. I was very much surprised when one of the boys said he could cook a lot of dishes. (Author’s note: As a girl myself, I am ashamed to admit that I only know how to cook rice, instant noodles and fried egg.) And well, the session proceeded rather smoothly (except for a short circuit during the middle of the session). For some reasons, Jian Wen was supposed to do a forfeit by gluing his eyebrows together. (Author’s note: Fellow volunteers, I wonder when will he perform the forfeit? Don’t let him get away from it k!)

It was the last session for our graduating seniors. First surprise, Jian Wen prepared something literally big for us. Second surprise, the ‘something’ was actually a very nice mini-white board with collage of photos and message! Almost everyone was stunned, and at the same time, extremely touched by what he did. A direct quote from him, ‘hey I am a very nice guy k, I spent three hours to do all these!’

A sample of Jian Wen’s present to all of us!

Post-session Extravaganza

First stop: Newton Food Centre

The 12 of us (Jian Wen, Chin Han, Rabin, Xiao Hong, Boon Meng, Ah Chai, Jia Yin, Hui Wen, Hui Koon, Daisy, Sock Hwa and me) squeezed into 2 cars and travelled all the way from Boon Lay to Newton.

Late supper at Newton!

It was a very nice supper! Why? Firstly, we had rather good food such as stingrays, pohpiah ice-cream without pohpiah skin, hokkien mee, sotongs, carrot cakes, fried egg with oyster, etc… Secondly, the atmosphere was light-hearted and everyone was chatting away happily!

Second stop: Sentosa

The remaining ten of us decided to station at the Palawan Beach to wait for the sunrise! Time was still very ‘early’ so we decided to take a stroll along the Southernmost Point bridge while figuring out which direction we should face to catch the best sunrise. After sometime of aimless walking, we decided that it was time for us to settle down at the beach for group games!

Game 1: The Ultimate Code (a.k.a zhong ji mi ma)

Punishment for the game: Finished 1/8 cup of chivas / gin mixed with green tea / plain water in a gulp

The first drunken one: Sock Hwa, after around 3/4 times of punishment, began to giggle and laugh. Everyone insisted that she was drunk but she refused to admit it. =)

Game 2: Forfeit Game

How to play: Each player draws a card from a set of cards numbered A-10. The lucky person who gets Ace can choose any two card numbers (without knowing who the card holders are) and the card holders must perform forfeit according to the lucky person’s specification.

Other forfeits included a Bollywood dance by Hui Wen & Ah Chai, a four-arms support by Daisy & Hui Wen, gulping down Chivas by Ah Chai and me, Salsa dance by Ah Chai and Hui Wen, piggy back by Jian Wen and me, sand-volcano building by Hui Wen and me, etc.

Soon, our long-awaited sunrise came! (Author’s note: I must really praise Boon Meng for being such a professional photographer. He captured lots of very nice photos!)

Just before we left Sentosa, we took a few more group photos!

It was definitely a night that I would never forget. Like what Hui Wen said, we spent the time playing like there’s no tomorrow! And like what Mark Twain said, “What is human life? The first third a good time; the rest remembering about it”. To all the leaving seniors, I wish you all the best in your future endeavours; and to all my fellow friends in WSC, I really thank you all for giving me a chance to experience such a fulfilling and fun CCA!
