2. MCG Orientation '09

Wednesday, 29 April 09

It's the orientation day for malay cultural group. That's when i got to know the MCG seniors and other freshmen.

At 6.00pm, I went to Block H lecture-theater 3 for MCG orientation. There was about 50 freshmen attended the orientation. I was in group H but then they changed the group name to "Dang Anom" since everyone in the group were girls. "Dang Anom" was a legendary malay woman warrior during the olden days.

After everyone had settled into their groups, the seniors start the orientation by introducing the EXCOs and members of MCG (Malay Cultural Group). Next, we freshmen had to introduce our self by telling our name, course and which sub-group would u like to join?

At about 6.15pm, the seniors got everyone to play 2 ice-breaking games. The first game was "One lie & Two truth", You have to tell others a lie and two truth of yourself and they have to guess which one is the lie. The second game was "Spiderweb", You have to tell one weakness and one strength to your group members and then you have to hold one end of a string and throw the ball of strings to one of your group member and he or she will have to do the same and continue until you see a web.

Then around 6.40pm, we had another game called "Amazing Race". My group members and I had to run almost around the school to find the clue and also had to do some activities to get the clue before 7.30pm. If not, we will not win the game but we managed to finish the game before the time runs out.

During 7.30pm - 8.00pm, we had our dinner and being told by the seniors, we had to choose one of our member to be a model and dress her up using recycled materials and also create a skit using 3 words "Apple", "Bee" and "Dance".

By 9.30pm, everything ended smoothly and everyone was happy to be there.

*As a closure for this post, i added a video and a summary of the skit.

It's about 3 royal servants and princess Snow-White having fun in the garden but end up into a tragedy. While the princess was singing, an unexpected bee flew into her mouth and as a result she fainted. To cure her, a group of dikir barat came and sang to awaken her.

ENJOY WATCHING!!
