MIDNIGHT!/ Wednesday, March 01, 2006
The last odac session for the J1 jae intake students. Wednesday. 1 march 06. Attendence of approximately 26 people.We did an adventure race today.Venue: amk park. Time allocated: approximately 3hrs. 3 stations. Team 5. jy. ari. kenneth. javier. me.Our first station was games! Station masters: Ching Yi and Jia Sheng. We had to get the bottle of water out of the boundary without crossing the line. And then after that we had to play this thinking maths game. Had to face our backs and then one by one, we would go to the numbers and signs to pick one and then from an equation to get a particular number.2nd station: tent pitching. Station masters: Wan Hui and Tai Yong. We had to pitch up a dome shaped tent and a 9-men tent in 30 minutes. Our team didn't managed to set up both tents by that time, but we did manage to completed the dome shaped tent and the inner sheet of the 9-men tent. Shortage of manpower..but we did find a way to work around the manpower problem. And that area has mosquitoes. Lots of it.3rd and last station: pioneering. Station masters: Keith and Teck Hao. We had to come up with our own idea of a chair using 6 spars and 8 manila hemps. Which we did! We completed the structure in under 20 minutes! The structure was stable and good. *grins*Team 5 reached back to aj first! Wee. And we got a good rest while waiting for the others. After the others had returned, we had debrief and then the J2s showed us a video of what we had gone through for the past odac sessions. Quite meaningful. After being offically dismissed from odac, we went to play bball. I just watched the game. Hah. Tired. And some of us went for dinner together with the J2s after that at KFCs, where we crapped lame jokes.The time spend in odac has been really meaningful. I'm thankful that I've made so many new friends there. It has been an enriching epxerience. I may have learnt most of the hard skills which they have taught, but nonetheless, I have learnt new stuff too, such as taut line. Odac has exposed me to more oudoor life. I may be used to it, but there were many new experiences which I did not have a chance to experience in secondary school....
Past. Present. Future
