yesterday marked the end of B-Week 2007. it was a fun and exciting experience planning something like that for the block as it was a new event and thus we were unsure of the support and response of the beekers.
the schedule was laid out as follows:
tuesday: board games galore! taboo, pictionary, carrom and monopoly.
wednesday: kampung games! blast from the past - chapteh, hide-and-seek and zero point.
thursday: inter-block supper with block E.
friday: sports fiesta - floorball and inter-year badminton.
the block was split into 4 groups (busok, bodoh, bojio and boliao) and each group was out to fight for B-week glory!
it was a plan, but as we all know, plans are meant to fail :)
B-week started out on a good note drawing support from beekers of every level. the lounge was a crowded place on tuesday nite as many gathered to have a ball of a time. taboo was exceptionally popular and it drew screams of delight and agony from the playing party. monopoly, playing at the same time, saw "i-am-damn-suay" xiuyi taking on "ah-wang" wuiern, "pay money pay money!" mae and big nic for whom i can't think of something smart to say. true to their nicks, xiuyi came up tops from the bottom with many unlucky rolls of the dice and "GO STRAIGHT TO JAIL" cards with the "support" of her teammates. it was really great seeing the excitment and laughter in the lounge - a good night indeed.
Wednesday night was kampung games but due to the poor response, the games that night had to be scraped. like i said, plans are meant to fail... sometimes :)
thursday nite's block supper with blk E was fairly successful (with much due credit to the SUPER NICE brownies... lol....) both blocks gathered in good spirits and block E's rooftop was packed to the brim. the food was good, the atmosphere was good and cross block interaction was good. it was a nite for many of the seniors to mingle with their Eekers and have a time to sit down and enjoy the antics of those who "volunteered" to play the games set by both blocks.
friday nite was sports nite where we hosted our alumnis for a game of floorball and we also had our inter-year badminton. we kicked off floor ball with gusto and the MPSH was a blur of beekers with sticks running up and down chasing a ball that was whizzing left, right, up and down with pace. if it was a good time for beekers to pick up the sport, last nite would have been considered perfect. there had long been rumors of floorball taking over hockey in the inter-hall games and thus it was fantastic that the block had some exposure to the sport. the floor was lit up with many tricks and flicks from our national hockey captain Sam "tiong kok" Nee, who dazzled the audience with out of this world dribbles and unreal control of the ball.
we then proceeded onto inter-year badminton where we saw the year 3/4s take on the alumnis and year 2s take on the year 1s. it was a nail biting scenario. with the year 2 male double pair edging out their year 1 counterparts and the alumnis showcasing their class by ousting the year3/4s out of contention. for the mixed doubles, the year 1s calmly took the game whilst the year3/4s pushed through to the finals. the two finals saw the year2s take on the alumni pairing for the males doubles and the year3/4 take on year 1s for the mixed doubles title. after a fantic battle on the court, the year 2s, came out on top, clinching the match after the duece. the mix doubles saw Ingnatius dominating the court, releasing smash after smash leaving Zibin and Szeyi dazed and confused. The scores were then tabulated and the champions for Inter-year badminton were the year1s by the point difference..!! woo!! well done! overall, the games were played in good spirit and those who made it down to the MPSH were giving a show of good sportsmanship and skills.
that officially marked the end of b-week. after a busy week, it was nice to have a quiet time to sit down and reflect on our experience. personally, even if there were some cock-ups here and there throughout the week, i am sure many found the experience to be an enriching one to say the least. the bottom line was that everyone had fun and enjoyed themselves. in the end busok won the b-week challenge *clap* *clap*.. but ultimately points didn't matter in the end.
i do hope that everyone enjoyed themselves as much as i did during this week.
cheers and seeyou all at the next event!!
