Amazing Race
Melissa Guo, Team Knitted, Participant:
Due to my work schedule, I could only participate in 1 pre-o IPC, therefore Orientation day was the first time I got to meet most of the Rangels. It was a little awkward at first because I didn’t know anyone, but as the ice-breakers went on, things got better.
The Amazing Race left the deepest impression on me. I remember telling my team leader, Yanling, that I’m someone who emphasize on winning. But for the first station, we went to the wrong place – thanks to me – (sorry, Team K!), but instead of blaming me, my team worked together to figure out the correct location.
Through this incident, I saw teamwork and that was when I knew my perception had changed. I realized that sometimes playing a game (or in life), isn’t about winning or losing, it’s really about the journey. It’s about getting to know your teammates (or friends and family) little by little along the way, helping one another, enjoying the journey and working toward the same goal together.
Friendship before competition :D
It was tiring but it was so much fun! I really have to thank RBKD for giving me the chance to take part in this Orientation which allowed me to gain much more than just new friends. I learnt an important life lesson as well.

Yes, like last year, it rained.
Thank goodness, it stopped.
Probably they knew it’s RBKD Orientation 2012!
Ice Breakers
Ethan Chua, Team Dedicated, Participant:
I’m so glad that I attended Orientation this year :)
Although it was my 2nd time participating in RBKD’s Orientation, there were still many people whom I did not know. Things became better after a series of ice-breakers. We started off with RBKD Bonding where we had to form a group of 4 whereby all of us must be from the same team. And I’m proud to say that our team came in first for that :D
Team D FTW!!!!!
Then we played ‘Double Whacko’ whereby we had to remember many names and to protect the one in-front of us from getting whack. Both the ice-breakers were definitely a test to my memory skills!
RBKD Bonding! All ready to get started!!
Now let’s Whack!
Lastly, River-Crossing was best of it all! This game really focused on teamwork and every team had to reach the finishing line with the limited number of planks we had. Some of us either blindfolded or ‘crippled’ and this was an obstacle the team had to overcome. Although we were perspiring and had sweaty palms, we still held on to one another and managed to complete the game and came in first!
Ready..
Get set…
Go!!!
All in all, I really enjoyed myself during Orientation:)
I want to thank those who make this Orientation a successful one :D
