Junqi, Madeline, Phyllis and Yingmei, Organizing Committee of Orientation 2013:
Night sky line, Cool breeze, Bright flash lights…..
Well, it certainly doesn’t sound like what one would expect from a RBKD IPC!
That’s because this is one of the rare few IPCs that is held at night :)
Our first stop after dinner was the roof at Esplanade, where we caught a glimpse of the MBS laser show and had our 3 + 1 introduction! This 3 + 1 experience was one of the more interesting ones that we have experienced in RBKD. How often, do you get to gather at a roof top and have 3 + 1 in the dark with participants having to shine light at the one who is doing the intro? Hahaha.
After our introduction session we decided to take a walk from Esplanade all the way to Marina Bay Sands to catch the light show at the concourse. On our way to MBS, we stopped along Helix Bridge to snap a few group photos! Well since it was at night, the use of flash was inevitable but after every photo snapped all of our eyes became…. *.* oh my~ Thankfully we arrived just in time for the second and last light show of the night after our 1 hour stroll.
The IPC ended with us having a good talk while walking back to the MRT station from MBS … What a good way to end off our Friday.
Well come to think of it, actually we think it would be great if there’s more IPCs that can be held at night! We are eagerly waiting for the next one!

Yanjun, Participant:
The sudden downpour before the IPC did not dampen our mood for the MBS light show. Doing 3 plus 1 introduction in the dark and using the phone to create spotlight so that everyone’s faces could be seen, it was different from the usually more serious introduction settings. The creation of the spotlight somehow helped to spark off some interactions and laughter among us.
To get the best view of the light show, we walked from esplanade to bayfront and ended up catching the 9pm light show. Despite it being quite a distance, I believe everyone had fun from the interactions en route there. Having watched the light show from a less ideal location during one of my night runs, this was the first time I watched it from the best view and capturing those beautiful moments.
It’s a completely different experience. Even though the duration of the light show was only 13 minutes, it feels good to be able to gather together to enjoy the light show and night scenery after a long day of school/work/idling despite the ‘seats’ being wet.
Lastly, I would like to thank the organizing committee for taking the time and effort to organize this pre-orientation IPC :)
