Yester, I went fot the SL outing at the Botanical Gardens, organised by the Term 2 SLs. We met at the entrance and entered the Garden. Settling down on some 'large' field. First, we played double wacko. Whoo!! It was fun but I was always in the inner circle, so I was in fear of getting hit - on the head, on the leg + doing the penalty. Lol. Thanks to Priscilla, I survived :D. The next game was a game. Of course. I forgot the name though :( So I shall try my very 'powerful' vocabulary and describe it to you.
First you are supposed to stand in a circle. Then someone will start by walking towards a random person. That person, knowing it is her, have to stare or do anything within her means to get the person that she wants to call her name before the first person (walking towards her) reaches her. And it goes on. If you fail to do so, then you are out. I was out - the second --" And the penalty was to do chicken dance down in a train... until the end. So embarassing. :( We had a toilet break... saw lots of tourist. Lol! The third game was a treasure hunt. Even more embarrassing. We were numbered and my group became like this - Charla, Jing Yi (Sec 3), Genevieve, Nadia, Ying Xin... I'm so sorry if I forgot you names. SORRY!! :(
Yep. And our task was to:
1. To get the signature of someone who owns a football and has it in the Botanical Gardens now
2. To get the signature of someone who is 1.8m tall
3. To make the word RGS using dried leaves and get the signature of 2 witnessess
4. To get the signature of a woman who is wearing earrings.
(definition of woman: 21 years and above)
5. To get the signature of someone listening to an Ipod, mp3 or mp4 player in the park.
We settled our first task... when we saw this small little girl kicking a small little ball. The Family was kind of involved in our game. The mother held the girl's hand and 'signed'. Thinking we were done, we walked further down to discover lots of dried leaves. So we just 顺便 ask the parents to be our witnessess. Did I mention that there was a gigantic group of people having a picnic near us? I think no, but never mind. Yep, we did the 2nd and 4th task with the help of them. The last one was with the help of the girl Pricsilla who listened to her Ipod to help us. Lol.
The very last task was to form 15 words with the word LEADERSHIP.
1. Lead
2. Leader
3. Ship
4. Hip
5. Sip
6. Dear
7. Deer
8. Ear
9. Sheer
10. Rip
11. Dip
12. Pea
13. Rash
14. Hear
15. Rear
We then went for another toilet break and sat down in a pavillion to eat our lunch. I think it was more of a 'brunch'. We had: chips, chips, and more ships. Fishballs with nuggets, brownies, chocolates, 7up, Peach Tea and some more stuff.. I can't remember eating. We sat down talked some more, and more. Then the people having picnic beside us offered us food as they could not finish it. YAY!! They gave us, 2 trays of sandwhiches and curry puffs. After more talking, they offered us orange juice, just what we needed. (: Thank You!!
The day ended... not really. I think the outing ended. With the help of Carey, I found Gleneagles, the hospital I was born in, and the bus stop I took to go home. Took no.7 all the way back to KHS, then changed bus to 197 and reached home safely in 1 piece. Thank God! Phew!
