The wait was finally over for all of us. SEGeTogether 2010 was held on the 26th of June 2010. At 10:30am, all the Cyriva Club members gathered at the W1 Student Forum to prepare their logistics and get ready to start off the event. The event registration started off at 11:30am and participants came rolling in.
The day kicked off with ice-breaking games like, ‘Honey, do you love me?’ and ‘Musical Chairs’. Everyone roared with laughter and squeals as they witness their teammates professing their “love” in a bid to make the “victim” laugh. The rest of the participants had to brave themselves not to laugh so as to not be the next one to profess their so-called “love”. As the hour draws on, the participants decided to proceed ahead with ‘Musical Chairs’, a game that is more popular to the younger generation. It was nerve-wrecking for the participants to make sure that they will get a seat as soon as the music stops, yet they sure had fun as there were laughter here and there.
The Games Section 1 commenced after noon with the game, ‘Search in the Paper’. In this game, participants in each team had to search for selected challenging words that can be found in newspaper articles. It sure was a challenge as there were a lot of teamwork and communication going on. There were around 20 words to be searched in one whole article. Mind you, those were very challenging words!
Moving on to the next game station, which was ‘Snap’, the participants had to overcome their fear of being snapped with rubber band. Participants had to use their mouths to transfer sponge balls from one point to another point. The catch, they were bound by rubber bands. It sure was exhilarating as participants kept praying and hoping that the rubber band won’t snap!
The third game was ‘Crossing Over’. Here, participants had to cross over to the other side of square plots. The fastest team wins. Unfortunately, it was a tie! Instead, we continued with a tie-breaker by challenging each team with the most common and traditional game, ‘Scissors, Paper, Stones!’ The participants were not allowed to speak to play the game. It sure does sound fun!
Refreshments were served after the three games and boy were they exhausted! However, they have yet to know what they were in for, which was the Mass Photo Hunt after. After relaxing here and there, the teams shot off in a bid to be the fastest team and most photos taken during the hunt. The game proved to be exhausting as they ran around the whole school to take the photos!
The last game was ‘Scrabbling’! Here, the participants each had a chance to get their hands wet and soapy! The participants have to form a word from letters that were all in pails of soapy water. It sure was a fun way to get cooled off after the running here and there.
The event ended with a Prize presentation with the winning team winning funky titbits! All of those present there were in for a surprise as the OIC presented everyone with home-made cookies specially made for them! Who knows next year’s SEGeTogether will have more of these?
