MOE Orientation Activities For The JC1 Scholars

It all started at 19th Dec..... Our second day here in Singapore... We're to go to MOE to have our briefing. Transportation is provided, which is a bus that leaves our hostel at 0815.

I woke up early that morning and prepared everything by 0700. But, you know what, i still got to MOE late. But thanks to my stupidity that I'm actually late for the bus. (I took a nap) As the result, I spent my first singaporean dollars for unnecessary cause. Super suei... The trip costed me 7 S$.... T-T. By the way, I reached MOE just in time. I signed in, got my goody bag and went to the fourth floor for the briefing. The briefing was quiet boring...we're required to fill in some forms and we're told what to do and what not to do in singapore... Usual stuff lar.... BUT, MOE has very nice people there... Especially Miss Aw, Miss Tan,and Miss Lim.... They are so friendly, and i am suppose to believe that they are teachers.... Anyway back to the story...

After lunch we had a field trip...Yay!!!! It was called "makan paradise" but it almost didn't have any link to food, not until the end when we got to taste Indian food in lil India. We went to the URA and had a boring time listening craps about how good and fun singapore is... Erk......... We had facilitators from JJC. Three jie jies(big sisters in mandarin)... Forgot their name ady...hehe sorry... XD... Then we went to the Chinatown and visited the supposedly oldest Taoist temple in Singapore. In the temple there is a golden scroll given by the China Emperor During the Ming Dynasty. After this we went directly to little india and were given the chance to taste the indian paratha(whatever..... Aiks.. deja vu). Well that's our first day in orientation.

The second day is the most enjoyable trip i ever had in singapore (well,..... this only the second trip i had in singapore, what do you expect?) The name of this activity is Culture Trail. We started off from Oldham Hall. We had a lecture about a lil bit of history bout singapore by Mr JS. It was quite fun, but it sounds so similar to the history in Malaysia.(Well DUH!! we're so near and were colonised by the same nations) The fun part is we get to have a tour around the civic district. Its the administrative area of the singapore if i am not mistaken. We went to the Arts House, the previous parliament building and the first ever singaporean court. We had the chance to see the parliament and sit where the singaporean ministers previously sits. (Sorry, the pictures i took there is damn blurred, so i cant put it up). The supreme court that we went after that was awesome. I never realized that the building is designed to see all the way through the building!! (Supposed to symbolize transparency in the singaporean law and order.) The view from "the disc" was awesome!!! Then we went to tour the singapore river mouth. We got to sit on the boat from boat quay!!! Heheheh jealous leh~~~~ We end the trip in esplanade a.k.a. the durians that don't stink....

We got the Personal Effectiveness Workshop(which according to Wei Kit is the kiasu workshop) =P. We had station games like peekaboo, double whacko and {the jump jump thingy} [dunno the game's name. fill in the {} for the game that we're supposed to jump over ppl's legs]. Then we had our MCBI personality test. [not sure about the name] =.= I did the test and i am actually an INTP, which suppose to mean i am a suicidal, alcoholic, drug-addicting NERD!!!NO WAY!!!! The test is wrong....I don't believe it!!!!!!!!!! >.<

Hehehhehehe.... And yesterday we had a Year End Concert-cum-Party. Wei Kit managed to sneak it and had fun with us. The performance was from the bridging scholars... They did a great job preparing for the show. We had a great time there. Malaysian bridging scholars actually got vote to be the second best show... Yeah!! Malaysia Boleh!! (But actually you know what, they cheated... hehe....Majority of the spectators who vote is from Malaysia) Bluek!!

Thats all for the MOE orientation till now. We will rest for 4 days for christmas.... Orientation will continue at 27th December. Till then. Bye!!!(It's bit too long, but its hard to summarized all the 4 days without typing so long)
