ICT Induction on 11th April
This marks the first time I mingled with the people from my school and course in Ngee Ann Poly. Reached there at about 8.40am. Registered myself and waited around to enter the LT 22. Once seated, I felt very alone as no one I knew had arrived. Then while seated according to our classes, I made my first friend who is in my course and class, Edmund. Following that, saw Mervin arrived. Had a long briefing in the LT 22. After the briefing, we were brought to different classrooms where we get to meet our mentors and also to get to know each other. We played this name game to memorise all the people's name. Let's see, in my class: Wen Hau, Samuel, Malik, Julien, Jasmine, Geok Ying, Jing Yin, Effie, Woan Shin, Christine, Christina, Vanessa, Kang Wei, Edmund, Leonard, Raymer and Deric. Anyway, our student buddy from the second year was Grace and our mentor was Ms Ryanto Anita. After the ice breaking, we head down for lunch. The food was not bad. We sat with our classes.
After lunch, we had some games on. The first was some tour around the school of ICT and completing each station as a team. Upon completing the stations, we made our way to the sports stadium for the second game. There were also some stations there and with each station completed, depending on the difficulty, we were given a 'key' to open the 'safe' and we had to get the right 'combination' to win. We didn't manage to win though. After that, we all head down to the track and had some sort of dance as a school. It was quite funny. Then we were released way before the scheduled time. I only realize Jill is in the same school as me but she is in the Diploma for IT. Head over to canteen 1 to wait for the school of engineering camp to end. After an hour plus there, the SOE camp was still not over and I head over to Cheers to wait for Aik Hao and Benedict. It eventually ended close to 8pm. Had dinner with them at West Mall's Burger King before heading home.
