New Boys!

This day, (26/6) 8 + JianWen BLK D NTU volunteers with a big heart, gathered to attend their weekly session with their boys. They were myself, rabin, seow hong, celine, daisy, jiayin, huiwen and huikoon. Special appearance by JianWen who not only attended the session with us but also treated us with delicious Crispy Kreme Donuts packed all the way from Australia via jw's lap. HAHAH wad an idiot! .....real thks man. (Cost you a bomb we know and we appreciate it.)

Hmm wanna know wad did we do at our session?

As usual.. Nothing special... ya ya... bla bla..

NO!!! Today we got 13 boys and you guessed it! 12 of them are new! WHAT A SURPRISE!
(Ok actually the staff has already informed me that they are arranging 16 new boys for our session -_-". But still, it is a pleasant surprise to see new boys and attending our session! *proud hehe)

We needed some activity to lighten up the mood so we played some "ice-breaking games". Drinking goggles", "WHO? WHAT? AH?" and "007". I am the organiser of the day and lucky me i played these recently and i could recall them. Phew! oops..hehe..

Sited in a circle, we had a "mini introduction" that involves everyone. We ask simple questions such as their hobbies, age etc. The introduction was rather short partly because i want it to. Time was getting late and if we were to go thorough, we will have to stay till 10pm! It was a brief introduction and we only know slight details about them but it is still meaningful. Anw, bravo to all my volunteers for trying to speak up more. (*much much more than the boys fyi!)I can see everyone is trying hard. *thumbs up! hehe. I am sure we will have opportunities to get to know these new kids better through our games, tuition and 1-1 sessions. After the last person has introduced himself, i proceed to give my "speech" which i as usual nv plan! How good is it... ermms dun expect too much on me la k haha! ANW.. I then stated my expectations of the boys and i explain to them my structure for sessions. Finally after all these, we wish good night and off they go, back to their dorms.

For my volunteers information: it will be games-tuition-games as per usual but when it nears their examination, we will only give them tuition.
What i said to the boys:
1) when volunteers give instructions, all the boys must listen.
2) end of session, the boys must help to keep the chairs.
3) if any boy is to be found to be indiscipline, i will not hesitate to report him to his staff.

Thats all from me..Hope to see you folks on thurs! = )
