March 09' Intake Orientation

Wondering why there are more people in the college these days? Seen many unfamiliar faces?
The reason is simply because..
new intakes!

The orientation of the March 2009 intake was held on the 4th of April 2009. The venue was none other than a popular tourist spot and a familiarized placed - Central Market.


A total of 39 juniors showed up that day. In fact the total of helpers [seniors] that showed up that day could easily mount up to the number of juniors.
Nevertheless, everyone was energetic and had their spirits up and going!
After gathering everyone in the hall, the juniors were briefed with the ice breakers of the day.

Juniors present that day

There were 3 ice breakers:

1. ask 38'

Since there were less people than expected, the seniors played along.

2. newspaper game [fold, fold and more folding ]

Other than generating creativity to fit into a small newspaper, the game also helped to create bonds within the group members. The funniest part is when people come up with the most ludicrous strategy, just to win!

Strategize!

3. Pass the message




A very long and confusing, but rhyming passage was passed down from the first to the last person; whereby the last person will have to write down the passage.

The highlight of this game was definitely the punishment. The losing group must sing twinkle twinkle little star with dance motion.

What's next?
The main event !

The main event requires the students to walk around kl to get inspirations in order to create a banner of the theme " Self Expression". They were given 1 and a half hour which is also inclusive of their lunch time.
They were equally divided into groups, whereby each group having a senior to guide and monitor them.

All set and ready;
off they go~

Most of the groups decided to get their inspirations from Petaling Street, which was within walking distance.

Time to judge!

It was difficult to choose because all the banners were creatively designed and had it's own uniqueness.
Finally, a decision was made based on the chosen theme for that day- Self Expression.

The judges

At the end of the day, it's all about socializing, and not about winning or losing.
Thus, everyone is a winner!
Every group was awarded with a token of appreciation. The three winning groups were awarded with hampers of goodies!
