A Volcanic Blast of Fun at Awana, Genting

This brings back memories as it was on 18th April 2009 that we students of February 2009 Intake, University of South Australia spent great time together.

It was a one day trip to the base of the mountain by 100+ students of Taylor’s for Team Building. I bet you all can imagine how fun it is to play games and activities with hundreds of people and most of those people are your friends!

  

It is always usual that teenagers like us become amused with that harness which has an obvious effect on the appearance of “something”. As you can see, Khai Jake and Alex Loh were trying the reliability of that harness.

My group’s first game was Flying Fox, the name where most people will mistaken it as Firefox. The first photo is Shi Chi getting ready to take off; second was Wilson enjoying his 1.5 times of playing it when everybody only had 1 chance; third was the thing that I hated because I was standing there waiting for my turn and they get to play cards just because they were before me (anyway, it’s still acceptable since they are not playing in the Genting Casino but just at the base of Genting).

 

After that, I had some free time. Then, we started camwhoring. First picture is Xiu Bao, Christy Tan, me and Alex who are all my group members. Second picture is me with Christy and Yee Von (look at the stairs-like heights). Third picture is the two best pals, Brian Chong and Benjamin Michael who are my classmates for Semester 1. Fourth is us with Kaylie on the top. Last one includes Shan Lung.

 

These are some of my Semester 1 classmates who are all very friendly. Those haven’t mentioned in my blog are Teong Jin, Mary Yap and Veronica on the right. Besides Alex and Shan Lung, they were my S1 classmates. We were waiting at the indoor car park area for our next game. What a bad place to wait, right?

In this photo, we have Veronica’s hair, Brian’s head, Nicholas Yong, me, TJ, J-Tsen, Haw Yang and a person who is under that dark spot, making it hard to be identified.

These photos are our next activity, abseiling. 1st – me, 2nd – Yee Von, 3rd - Jo Jin, 4th Alex. We waited very long for this. And so, I have to satisfy myself by trying twice – once facing backwards like the rest of the people, and second facing forward which was really scary. I tripped on the more dangerous one, and almost rolled down. But I made it down safely!

Guess it’s not too late to introduce my group, Team 4. We have an extremely friendly and fun advisor, Ms Pei Chuin who is still very young, just like us. From the top left, we have Wilson, me, Jordan, Jake, Xiu Bao, Christy, Amily, Xue Wei, Jo Jin, Shi Chi, Ms Pei Chuin and Alex. I was the partially helpful team leader, and Alex was the one who helped me with the other half of being a cheerful motivator. Everyone was good and I seriously need to thank you all for working together and being united till we can get a lucky 2nd place among all the 10 teams!

First photo – Freestyle; second – FOUR; third – formal.

Why is this here? It’s because at the changing room, I got to know that some of my college friends were about to attend that concert on 2nd May 2009 which was my sister’s birthday too.  Coincidentally, Shan Lung was bringing Wei Qi to the concert, and Nicholas Yong said he would be alone at the Sony Ericsson section. Fortunately, I was also been offered a seat at that section, so we went there together. My dad accompanied my sister at the paid section.

Here, I would like to thank a very good friend of mine who was kind enough to sponsor me a ticket to the Lee Hom Music-Man Concert. His name is:

ANG WEE HONG

Without him, I would not be able to experience the best concert that I have been after Jolin Tsai’s and Jay Chou’s. Thanks, dude!
