House Of Friendship

Club Service has done it again! Right after the smashing Installation Night, here comes the House of Friendship, jointly organized by the Rotaract Club of NTU and Rotaract Club of Marina City. Joining us for the fun, were some members from Rotaract Club of Queenstown. Picasso from RAC Marina City came up to us and suggested that both our clubs should do something, and there you have it, a joint gathering, an ideal get-together activity. The event started off with some icebreaking game, getting to know each other’s name and getting along together. After the icebreaking games, that’s where the real deal begins.

Next is the dividing of rotaractors into 3 teams. After getting to know their respective teams, it was time for the next game : Treasure hunt! The team leaders went on to explain the rules and regulations of the games to their respective teams. After getting a clear picture of the game, it was time to kick start the game!

The first station out of the six stations was the S4 building. Upon reaching the first station, the team was informed of their first task by the team leader, who also happen to be the station master for the team. The team will need to come up with a dance or song to impress their station master and also perform it for 2 minutes. The station master will rate them according to their level of impression.The second station was Popular, in the S4 building as well. The second task was to look for a sticker star and point it to the station master. But it was no ordinary task. All the team members were supposed to walk alone into a dark lane at the side of Popular and look for a tiny star by just using the light from their mobile phones.

Located on rooftop of the N2 building, the third station involved the game known as the Human Entanglement. Everyone was required to stand in a circle and hold the hands of the person opposite them. Then, they were supposed to entangle themselves in the fastest time possible. Next up was the fourth station which was the area around the fountain in front of Tan Chin Tuan LT. The task was passing of message, which consisted of 10 pau names. But one will be disappointed if he was expecting common names like ‘char siew pau’ etc etc. The organizer actually came up with distinct and unique names like Big Big Pau etc etc. Everyone was rather confused by the names that at the end of it, they only managed to get one name right.

The fifth station was in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. The team was required to choose a leader for the fifth task. This leader’s task was to rearrange the team members according to the category given by the station master. After the task, they headed over to the School of Biological Sciences for the final station. The task for this station was Charade, and the theme was ‘Movie’. Upon completing the task, the team headed back to SAC, where the winners of the treasure hunt were announced. To everyone’s delight, every team was given a prize. As the prizes consists of snacks and junk food, everyone decided to sit down and enjoy the snacks. This was the only time when everyone get to bond with one another in a proper manner where they get to share stories of their life and laugh over jokes cracked by one another , besides reminiscing the ups and downs that they have gone through together, both as a Rotaractor and as a team. After the bonding session, it was time for the final game of the night, which is the Superman game. The 3 losers of the game were required to sing songs as decided by the majority.

As cliché as it may sound, all good things much come to an end. The event that night ended with a birthday song specially dedicated to our dear Whei Yeap whose birthday happened to fall on the same day.All in all, this event achieved success in fostering friendship among rotaractors of different divisions and at the same time, between RAC NTU and RAC Marina City. Everyone had a great time and it was a great chance to take their minds off finals and CAs as well. Last but not least, two thumbs up to Club Service Division for bringing together such a memorable event!
