BMSS Outing to Sentosa!

The day started at 8.30am with the coordinators going to school to fetch the mentees and the game and food ICs heading straight to Sentosa to “hunt” for the territory of the day.

Our territory of the day!

A spot along Palawan Beach with great scenery.

The mentors and mentees reached destination at about 10am and the kickoff of the day of interaction, fun and laughter followed.

Mentors and mentees are divided into teams as the games for the day are aimed to cultivate team building spirit and foster relationship between one another. Proudly present to you -- our team A!

A short ice breaking session kicked in first for the team members to know one another and also the members of the other group. Not long after that, we started off with our first game of the day – Captain’s Ball by sea side! ^.^

Round 1 -- FIGHT!

Where is the ball?

After the non-stop running and catching, everyone was asked to take a short break.

Proceeding on, our second game -- “squeeze me ” started shortly. Each team was asked to fill in the water bottle given until the water overflows the brim in the shortest time.

We RUN!

We PASS!

We SQUEEZE and we SUPPORT each other!

The team bonding, the interaction, the support from one another led the teams on to their further challenge – “Our Grand Castle”

Our Castles?!

Building castle out from scratch, with only a pathetic water bottle and two seemingly useless sponges? No problem! =)

Just DO it!

After half an hour of hard work and sweat, the teams proudly presented their end products.

“High Class Waterfront Residence” by team B

The winning team and their sand castle! ^.^

The laughter and fun didn’t end here. The fun climaxed in the next game that followed – “Hit my General Knowledge”.

“Answer correctly? Safe! Else, down you go into the Sea! ^.^”

Tired? But, it’s just not enough! Finally, all of us ended up in the sea for another round of Captain’s Ball in the SEA.

Finally, it’s time to wash up and time to fill our groaning stomach.

After hours of playing and running, we finally settled down in the shed for picnic. We made sandwiches, we talked, we ate, we cracked jokes. Isn’t that simply FUN?

The day finally ended with the mentors dragging their exhausted bodies back.

However, we carried on the outing by heading to KFC in Harbourfront for a very last round of gathering and chit-chatting.

That , at last, marked the end of our wonderful moment in Sentosa.

~ INTERACTION! BONDING! FUN! LAUGHTER! ~
