The new volunteers had written a paragraph on the orientation.. Althou not all submit their paragraph.. -.- This was wat they wrote...
We went sentosa for our orientation. It was an interesting experience, getting to know more about what we would be doing in the block d. We played some LAME games and built a sand castle with which we deserved to win!!! Finally came the BBQ at that ulu Labrador Park. It was nice to meet my fellow block d mates and i cant wait to get started.

Hey guys! The orientation camp was cool; it was great for me to meet with the other members of WSC. The food was good too. I had real fun and I look forward to go to the boys’ home.

The orientation at sentosa on saturday came out much more interesting than i thought. Initially still hesitating whether should i attend but after going through it, feel that it was quite an enjoyable session. Throughout the whole orientation can see that all the existing volunteers and seniors really put in their efforts to organise this event to let us new volunteers to get to know one another better. Although it was not say the best orientation that i have attended, but it really gives me a break out of the hectic web assignments and really appreciate the efforts that all the seniors have put in to organise this session.

Although it was a Saturday spent at Sentosa and Vivocity, it was a great way to spend the Saturday with like-minded people. It was a great way to spend a morning by breaking the ice and making new friends. I was quite amazed by the volunteers that signed up for Youth; everyone just came with an open mind! Not only that, I was actually expecting freshies to be the main bulk of the new volunteers but apparently there are a significant number of seniors who came in as new volunteers as well. The games were simple such as sandcastle making competition which I believe we should have won and treasure hunting was just amazing when the group kind of got separated but we hunt for each other and met up back again somehow! It just goes to show block D peeps have telepathy to find each other at the end of the day! The day ended off with a nice BBQ in which the food was great and there was plenty to eat! Overall, it really spurs us up for the upcoming challenge as a volunteer for the boys' home block D! =)

Building sand castle was fantastic! Group number sort of multiplied when we combined with Blk B. Uber fun under the sun !!! Free scrub for our feet and our hands too ! what more can we ask for? Hahahaha. Perspired as one to work on our masterpiece. Smelly, then smelly together! The castle was such a pride and joy ! Glad that we got 2nd place in the end after the "ang moh" judged. I bet he was amazed at our enthusiasm :D

Session on 30 July
Hi all !! I finally write my blog entry! First at all, I apologize for owing you all a blog entry for quite a long time. I am going to write about our last-last-last session which was on... erm... 30 July. (Since it happened three weeks ago, I need to recall what was going on. Don’t worry... I’ll try my best.)
Khalisah, Ah Chai, Jianwen, Chinhan, Huiwen, Haosheng and I came for the session that day. We were playing broad games like Uno, Chinese chess and Snorta. The boys were a lot that day, more than our expectation. Since we only had three broad games, some of the boys were not joining us and chitchatting in the back of the room (or just stared blankly there?!) Anyone who is holding other broad games please let Khalisah know and bring it next time so that we will have more broad games to play in the future and let more boys join the game.
I played Uno at first but later I noticed that Snorta looked interesting although I totally didn’t know its rules. Huiwen and Chinhan were playing it with another four boys. Each player need to think a sound of animal. Each round each of them reveals a card in turn. Once the card is identical to another player’s card, they have to imitate their opponent’s sound. The slower is the loser and he has to take over his opponent’s card. The one who first finishes his cards is the winner. After I joined them, they changed the rules. We needed to think a singer’s/actress’ name or a place name. Most of the names I never heard before and I was short memory to memorize them. I end up with ‘collecting’ the cards. (Lol.. Fortunately there was no penalty. Hahha..)
The session ended at almost 9.30pm. After that, we had a birthday celebration for our charming Jianwen and Khalisah yang cantik dan bijaksana.
Khalisah and Jianwen were making their wish(es).
Chinhan bought the delicious mango cake.
Uncle Lee was cutting the cake (not easy to cut it) and distributing it to everyone. Thanks ya~~ Uncle Lee!!
Huiwen and Ah Chai (or Jason??) :
Oh no!!
Ah Chai was playing with fire!! Fortunately he didn’t burn the boys home.

At the end, we took a photo together (with a different background).
This one looks nicer:
Oh yeah!!! I have completed my blog entry. HS, it is your turn now. Hahhaha…

Soo.... What have been going on within our blk these days?? Haha.. Sessions as usual.. The first session (9/7) was an awkward one.. With only 6 (??) volunteers and 5 boys we couldnt really do much.. So we ended just having chitchat session with the boys...
Last week (16/7) was games day.. We played Stare&Stance first.. This is where the boys and volunteers stood in pairs, back-to-back, and at the count of 3, they face each other and try to keep a straight face... The ones who laughed first will have to sit out of the game.. The process is continued until we have the last person standing as the winner... Lucky i was the one conducting the game.. Cos i am sooo very sure if i played, i will be out at the very first round.. =x Hahaha... After tat game, we had a game of Hangman.. And the session was over...
Yesterday, was supposed to be tuition.. But knowing the boys, they didnt even bring along their books.. We had assessment books with us but.... Hahaha.... They just werent interested.. So session turned to chitchat session yet again...
After session, had a mini belated birthday celebration for our dear Chinhan... Hope he liked the MINI celebration.. Haha.. Since there was only a total of 5 f us... Heh...
