Firstly was the maths IQ questions session! Every team is to solve some maths questions provided and the fastest team who answers and explains the question correctly wins. The classic question was " 5 monkeys took 5 mins to eat 5 bananas. How long did 8 monkeys took to eat 8 bananas?" Everyone was so sure its 8!! But the answer is still 5mins! Then the game progresses on to the more difficult problems which some of the boys lost interest in. Then comes the velocity distance questions which the boys are more confident in since they have learnt physics! In the end, i wanted a forfeit but apparently nobody was interested in it...so there's only food prizes but no forfeit. haha.
The session was considered a safe session to me. You can never go wrong with a series of puzzles as a game. It much more predictable than debates, telling ghost stories, where the boys might just ignore you. But anyway, its just a relaxing session not an exam so i still feel that we should try different activities in the future.
Then the following week was new volunteers bonding session 2! We played 7UP in malay and "ini ialah pensel" game. I admitted i was quite out of touch with the language and made numerous fundamental mistakes! Luckily, huixian was quite good at malay and corrected the mistakes. Most volunteers are not listening to the malay lesson but are in their own conversation instead! Oh well, looks like the intention of getting everybody tgt is reached. I already gotten used to being ignored after hosting so many boys home session. haha. Then we end off with "ipin dan upin!". I myself felt its super funny, dunno wad the new volunteers think. haha.
