Ok.. apparently my last post got deleted by blogger and I'm now retyping the entire thing again. Darn!
So, the second session at HSS was generally ok. Attendance was like ****, very terok. Because many mentors thought that calling and sms-ing the mentees was a one-off affair. Apparently not... Hopefully, it will be better next time. Aim next time... full attendance. Possible?
hur hur
Anyway, we had the usual... both academic and activity.
*yawn yawn*
(i'm repeating myself in every post)
This week, the academic/interaction time ended 5 minutes later than expected. Obviously... we started late again! Grrr...
Activity wise. I think that it was real fun and dame very well planned. Why? Because I planned it. Haha! (very bhb...) No lar... I think that since it went off smoothly, I will consider it a success; partly because everyone was very obedient and listened to instructions.
So, our activity was similar to blind man. One pair of mentee will work together; one will be blindfolded and the other will be the guide to the mentee. Along the stretch of corridor are post-its and the guide has to direct the blindfolded mentee to the post-its through verbal instructions and without touching them.
Mentors helping the mentees to tie the blindfoldSome mentees did not give accurate directions, while others were just lost and confused. In the end, we did have some knocks here and there. Wenjun hit his head on the metal door handle and almost rammed face first into the fire extinguisher, while the blindfolded Simeng (right in foreground of the picture) bumped into another mentee.
Blind men/womenYikai points to the post-it behind the dustbin. That's not allowed!! (or is it?)Oh well, behind all the play lies the rationale that trust is important. Wanna find out more, do check up the internet for more details.
We tried doing the egg experiment again also. This time round, the egg didn't break. Hengz.... And, many still remembered how to differentiate between the hard boiled egg and the normal egg.
*if you dunno or can't remember, do check our Nick's post*All listening intently or all very sian-ed... I hope it's the former! Ha!(Stephen... out...)
