Esprimere Freshman Chalet 2008

Monday, August 18, 2008@ 3:14 PM by hear our voices

Sat 16th Aug 08

Early in the morning 10am...
Darry, Jeff and me went over to Pasir Ris MRT control to wait on our freshies to arrive.
There was only like 8 of them (Zhen Cong, Shina, Kelly, Michelle, Huiqi, Ben, Marcus, Weishan ); the rest promised to come at a later time due to some other things and lesson at school...(Dont wry we understand! Haha)

Anyway we headed back to chalet...
We had a round of a quick self introduction of our Excos and our Freshies and a brief speech from our President.
Then we kicked off with our 1st ice-breaking game: THE NAME GAME
Our 2nd game : Pass the Balloon

This was quite an exciting game since we have to keep passing a small balloon till it burst, there were many times where ppl trying to sabo each other..(etc YongFa, HongXin, ZhenCong..Haha)
Around 130pm, we break off for lunch at Down Town East.










And after lunch, We awaited more of our freshies to arrive. (YAY!!! more ppl for our group games le..)

We began our 2nd part of the games....
But firstly let me introduce our Team and their members.

PowerPuffGirls - Wei Shan, Fiona, Zhen Cong, Trevor, Michelle, Boon Wei, Wendy, Adeline
Singaholics - Lynn, Shina, Weiliang, Kelly, Hong Xin, Zong Xi
Scribblers - Susanne, Hui Qi, Pei Wen, Jessie, Marcus, Ben

Our 3rd Game : Name the Song

Some popular songs was distorted, and freshies are required to guess the name of those songs.

Scribblers was vry gd in this section im guessing they likes to listen to musics all the time. So in the end Singaholics and PowerPuffGirls lost and have to abide to our forfeit..Haha










Our 4th Game : Reaction Game

A game where we showed our freshies a pic of a hand drawn of hands depicting some actions using both hands. Freshies are then required to do the action and if can not, they are required to cross their arms or raise their hands.


Our 5th game: The Balloon Game

This game objective was to attack the other groups base while defending our own base.

So sad.. so sad..Scribblers was outright attacked by both Singaholics and PowerPuffsGirls(No way to retaliate ar)....HAHAHA But anyway the winner goes to SINGAHOLICS lahz.(The best group for the day....Im so bias.. HAHAH!!!)



















































And Lastly was our very old school relay kind of telematch : Sour Dash

Team members was required to race down to 3 checkpoints in the game, 1st check point was to bite a slice of lemon from a basin filled with ice water then they race down to the 2nd checkpoint to find and get a sour zour sweet from a basin filled with flour.. then they have to go in circles using a stick for ten times and afterward carry a cap filled with water to fill their respective yakult bottles.
After the end of the games, points were tabulated and the Winner turns out to be Singaholics, followed by PowerPuffGirls, and lastly Scribblers.


Aiya.. no worries, everyone was a winner till the end as we had made new friends and enjoyed ourselves that very day. CHEERS!!!












Scribblers was treated to a Sour Juice which consists of Fresh Lemons, Lime, Sour Prunes, Vinegar, Sprite with an ending topping of whipped cream. YUMMY!!!

Then we headed back to chalet for wash-up...(no one wash up in the end) and we awaited the start of our BBQ ...











Around 930pm, the whole club headed over to Pasir Ris Park to our very own BBQ-Campfire to perform a group singing. And we had a special PK singing section by Wei Liang, Peiwen, Trevor, Yong Fa (trying to be 蕭敬騰) and lastly Darryl.

After the campfire, we headed back to chalet to wash up, Fishball and Michelle wanted to bbq again, and so we had our 2nd bbq again on that very day. (Many Claps and Thanks to Miss Michelle, she really can cook i think, she got likes ton of things to say abt cooking.. and plus she really enjoys BBQ. So TO ALL FRESHIES, remember to say thank you to her the next time u see her. She bbqed most of the stuffs u ate...)




And i heard from some of our freshies that some of our male freshies took the liberty to play some ice-breaking games with the rest of the freshies..while we were bbqing.(So cheers to them too!!!)

Thats about all of it... Esprimere Excos sincerly hopes that all freshies had a great time and gotten to know each other better during this Freshman Orientation Chalet. So see ya all on Tues.....

Yesterday was the start of the beginner lessons conducted by us(excos). I was completely shocked by the numbers of our freshies yesterday, did not expected such a large group...28 Freshies lehz...

Okie a quick recap on yesterday stuffs, a brief introduction on our club, us and also on our FRESHIES..

Next Jeff and Yongfa took the lead on explaining "What constitute to good singing"; using of airflow, diaphragm and mouth.

After that, Darryl explains some of the genre of music that we had learnt previously last year, which includes Acapella, Ballads, Blues, Disco, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Pop, R&B and Rock.

And lastly was the 1min singing by our freshies. Well anyway, im glad with our freshies, most of them had the confidence of coming up to sing infront all of us.
So remember this, one small step in confidence; one giant leap for singing!!!

K thats all, see ya guys at the chalet..

ps: To freshies, pls dont worry too much abt the 1 min singing, its just to listen to yr singing only
