UPDATE on first week in RP!!!

Ok first week of the RP, first 3 days is the orientation ... And I went for all three days ... We group into different team at the Agora hall 2(home base), mine was team 26 since i reach quite late for the first day ...

Then played game around the whole RP campus ... Some of the game includes using different materials to wrap around an egg, then throwing down from 200m, 140m 80m or 50m ... Our group, a big group of around 15 people was separated to 3 small group for this game ... As such it is like we have three chances for the throwing the egg ... all three eggs in our group have succeed in the throw at the height of 200m ... Fyi, one group has their egg wrapped only with like 5 straws !!!

Had meal, which is worse then the one we had in the camp ... Then some camp games ... Forfeit etc etc etc ...

Then second day, we had the tug of war against all the different schools(SIT, STA, CCC etc) ... Each school have 2 group, one with all the student leader and another with all the freshman ... We fought with all schools and end up only winning once for the freshman group ... The weather was scorching hot, I got sunburn again there ...

We also had our mass dances taught by the dancers ... But most of us don't get what they taught la, our group settle at the far end, and they taught so fast !!! Then return to home base, we will taught in team about the dance step ... And the RP war craft(I don't know if it is this craft they mentioned) as a school ... We repeated it again and again, as we shouted too softly ... Then end off day ...

Third day, we meet at 8.30am in our individual classroom ... We had game within the class, a group work ... My group are all the girls, haha ... Then we answer quizzes about the RP learning system ... Like there are 3 meeting everyday, the 3rd meeting is where every group will present their presentation ... ETC ...

Then after 11.30am, we meet at our own home base ... and had our lunch, again nothing nice ... I think the SLs lunch is better than ours, since theirs are like the camp's ... Anyway, we then have another dance practice session ... When almost evening, we proceed to the 3rd level of the lawn for performances by all the schools as well as the war craft and dance ...

In the end we did the war craft but not the dance, as we have limited place for the dance ... I think it is the excuses everyone gave, since in it too fast for us too catch up ... Then most people left ... I left around 7 plus ... (I heard from those who stay until the end that they ended at 9pm)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The first actual day, I was almost late for class due to the super slow bus !!! Then start of class, enterprise ... Facilitator split us to 5 groups, I am group 4 ... We were given a question for the presentation, and a worksheet ...

Our presentation end up to be very wordy ... And the worksheet, I didn't we have to hand up as a group ... During lunch time I was going to have break with Soki and Willex at the food court, but all the food courts are all so crowded ... We end up eating only snack except for Soki who ate a bowl of noodle ... He told me he had science that day and had played a blood game ... Willex also say it was fun (I tot it was gross, working on a real blood thing is OMG) ...

I think it was because all of us in the class spend too much time doing the worksheet ... As such the timing was affected, we were suppose to upload the PowerPoint slide by 1.30pm but our facilitator gave us extra 30minute, making it 2pm ... However we are still late. Resulting in ending class at around 4.10pm (we should have ended class at 3.30pm) ...

Then on the second day of the lesson, we had blood game ... And this is when I realise I misunderstood the blood game, it is a game in the laptop create by RP ... LOL I wonder why I would think it is a practical thing!!! Anyway it really was fun, except for the last stage where all of our group members can't get through it ...

This game actually have 6 stages ... After every stage, we have to answer the question in the worksheet ... I understand most of the thing taught and could answer most of the question in the worksheet after each stages up to stage 5 ... Stage 6, I just can't seem to complete it ... Our Facilitator allow us to choose whether to submit ... But is better to submit ... So me and one of my team mate decide to do it online at night ...

So when I reach home, finish my quizzes, self evaluation, peer evaluation and RJ ... I tried again the game, and after many tries, I FINALLY COMPLETE STAGE 6 !!! However, I got no idea how to answer the question in the worksheet, so discussed with team mate till almost 11 pm !!! Then just hand in anyhow ... Next lesson then ask the facilitator on how to answer the question ...

That's about all ... O yeah !!! WHY EVERY TIME WHEN I GO HOME, it starts RAIN ???
