Today was the last session of the holidays. A few volunteers met up for dinner at jurong point while the rest of us met up at the home at 1930. The total number of people who turned up was 18. Hopefully, we can keep up this attendance rate when term starts.
As usual, we splitted up the activities. Tuition on one side and games on the other. As school just started, not many of the boys wanted tuition, so most of the volunteers played games.
Today’s game was inspired by an old game Zhengxin dug up from the archives of this blog. Basically, you had to answer some questions for points. However, the catch was that the letters were written in code, each letter was written as the alphabet preceding it. Thus, the question “who is the president of Singapore” becomes “xip jt uif qsftjefou pg tjohbqpsf”. To make the game harder, each team was given only 30 seconds to decode and answer the question.
Surprisingly, some of the boys were quite adept at figuring out the letters. Within the 30 seconds allocated, most of the boys already knew the answer, prompting Zhengxin to increase the difficulty of the game by allocating only 20 seconds. In the end, my team, Sweeping (named after our dear Siew Ping) came in last but there was no time to do a forfeit as it was already nine o’clock and the staff at the home had to come and ask us to leave.
Then was supper time but sadly, most people just seemed to disappear………………. Leaving only 7 of us………………….
