WAHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Second Day of YoReCa '09 Camp(:



Today we asembled at the parade square and did morning exercise, it was quite interesting. After the fun morning exercise, we went to eat our breakfast, the breakfast was very delicious. We went to have our challenge 2 and 3 after that. Red team had to split themselves and joined us. It was surprising to see them working well with us since they werent in our group.



For challenge 2, we had to transport the "casulties" to the nearest "hospital". We met a few obstacles and we had to overcome it. We were given 2 planks to assist us to bridge the obstacles. It was difficult at the beginning where we had no idea what to do at all. But after brainstorming and trying out a few techniques, we realised which would work and which wouldn't.

From this challenge, we learnt that communication and teamwork is very important. And sometimes it's better to collaborate than compete as this allows us to complete the task faster and more efficiently for both teams. We realised this when we decided to swap "victims" with the other group so that we can navigate the path that we are more familiar with. This allowed both teams to reach their goals. Instead of having selfish motives, by working together, we managed to complete the challenge in the stipulated time.

Afterwhich, still glowing from our success at the previous station, we moved on to the team Pit Challenge, where we had to put our courage and confidence to test when we made use of a rope to swing from the edges of the pool to the platform in the center. Before swinging across, we had to state our goals. Reaching the platform was kinda like achieving our goals; even if we did not succeed the first time, we must always try again and that is the true road to success. Team support is also essential as it always helps to have someone cheering you on to give you encouragement and the drive to pursue the challenges. ;)

Later on, we had a talk organised by Land Transport Authority on Public Security Awareness. We learnt the potential threats that could strike our various public transport modes and how we can play a part in preventing ourselves from becoming a target.

You can save lives, including your own. ;D

After lunch, we travelled to Ang Mo Kio MRT station where we participated in a detrainment exercise. We also learnt various security features and functions of the mrt stations and how to access these features should there be a need. We were also taught to apply S.A.L.U.T.E and H.O.T when faced with a suspiciously behaving person or a suspicious article respectively.

Deb: THERE WAS MOOREEE FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! :D

Then we took the bus to SBS transit's west quarters to learn about the security challenges on buses. After a short briefing, we were brought to a "conference" room where we could see the Operating Control Station in action through a glass panel. Afterwhich, we got a ride in the bus with a friendly auntie bus CAPTAIN. :D She explained many things to us, eg. the number of CCTV cameras in each bus and explained the purposes of such security purposes. Thanks, bus capt! :D

Then we headed back to NACLI for DINNNNNNNNNNNERRRRRR! :D ATE ATE ATE. CHEERED CHEERED CHEERED. Got banana leh. xD Then we got to play a team challenge game known as KEY PUNCH, where we had to make use of our LANGUAGE resources(Chinese, Tamil and Malay) to organise numbers 1-50. At first it was challenging, but as everyone participated their 1000000000000000000000000000%, despite being kicked out of the room several times, :) we perservered on and we were the first group to complete the game! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~ Happiness! LOVE JOY PEACE AND HOPE AND MORE LOVE! :)

Then we had a quiz, where we kena pwned, unfortunately. Irwin wanted to fish and water the flowers. :) But then, GWEN(DOLYN) answered a question correctly and she got $10 popular voucher sehhhhhhh. Must share share hor. xD

Now we wanna sleep liao. But Irwin dont wanna let us sleep. :( Sad sad liao.
