My turn to update the blog… Last session for August(26/8) before the holidays end and I believe most of us are already looking forward to the new semester and this means that we will be having new bloods joining our block soon. We meet up at the home directly at the same usual timing. Same thing, the boys were again split to 2 groups cos there were some of them who will be having their schools or national exams soon while others just wanted to have some fun after a long day. So Nicole, Woei Jin and Yen Bin played some games with some of the boys. Game they played was 7-up. This is quite a fun game among the boys as the previous time when we play it the boys enjoyed it a lot. Everyone comes together to form a circle and each one has to shout a number starting from 1 onwards. Eg. 1…2…3…4…… Until the numbers comes to either a multiple of 7 or containing 7 then will have to replace this number by UP. Khalisa and I were doing tuition next door and even with the barriers closed the shoutings and laughter next door was still very loud. Pretty sure that the boys enjoyed this game very much. We end the session at around 9.20 a bit later than the usual timing cos some boys really got a lot of stuffs to ask us. Really hope that these tutoring sessions can benefit them.
Next up will be the talk conducted by the MCYS on Friday evening on secret societies. Khalisa meet me at Ang Mo Kio Mrt before we took a bus to the MCYS building at upper Thomson where the talk was held. We got a Long Time No See volunteer with us…Paul!! One of our most popular volunteers in the boys home. Reach there at about 7 where we have a buffet dinner first before the talk. The talk was really very educational. It was conducted by one of the senior CID officers from the department dealing with secret societies…Forget his name already but seems to be quite a high ranking ones from the way he conducted the talk. We learnt about the origination of triads and secret societies and even he give us some of the info of the different active secret societies in Singapore, their ops grounds and how to identify them through their ‘trademarks’ on their body or even through ‘banners’. Many many more but if you guys are interested to know more can go ask Khalisa. The talk lasted till about 9ish and Paul send both me and Khalisa to Bishan Mrt before going off. Thks Paul. So that’s about all. Enjoy the new semester.
