FOC 2006

After many months of planning, endless meetings and hours of hard work, the Freshmen Orientation Camp has come to an end. It was a successful one. All the activities happened according to plan. No serious injuries, less the single ambulance case on the last day after break camp. I am sure not all freshies enjoyed the camp but hopefully most of them enjoyed themselves.

Summer Escapade was a tedious event with stations stretching from one end of the beach to the other. There was a hiccup at the Telematch setting-up phase but it was quickly overcome by the hardworking and united Exco. Things do go wrong on the ground and when shit hits the fan, it is no longer about what caused it, but rather, how we solve it now. Good job by Alan Wong and Jingyue. Ben was being dragged to the sea during the debrief and the Exco was quick in trying to save him! I got wet too but that’s because I jumped in myself. Talk about one for all and all for one…. Hahaha…

Auction was fun~! I feel like some Auctioneer at a 7th Month Hungry Ghost Festival Banquet, auctioning items. Good work by Xiaoxuan. It is definitely tough to constantly keep track of all the bids.

Learning the SP dance was fun too. There were initially many doubts about whether the event will turn out ok because of the many constraints. Shirlene was really worried about whether she can pull it off within 2 hours. It turned out to be a great success. Everyone was enjoying it, laughing at themselves and looking silly. Well done to Shirlene and Cindiie!

Treasure Hunt is the most fun of all~! *at least that’s what the freshies said* Running around town to find clues to solve the mystery murderer is definitely not as easy as it seems. After so much careful planning by Sharon and Lionel, they are definitely not going to let it be easy!

SP Reveal and SP Walk is a success too. Though there are some OGs which are not so receptive initially, they eventually give it a try and enjoyed the whole fun. Thanx to Dionne and Mudd!

Not to forget the Logistic man Alan Ling. Without him, nothing can happen. It had been a hard time for him but he persevered! He’s the man! And of course, the man of the house, Ben Phay! Our boss is always there to solve problems and give directions. Thanx bro.

Oh yar~! I almost forget to mention about the special herbal tea and honey water that Shirlene and Dionne constantly made for all of us to soothe our sore throat. Without those good stuff, most of us won't be able to talk by now. Thanx!!!

The SRC Exco… the 12 Pillars of the SRC. United as one. Nothing can stop us~!
