Just came back from IYC (International Youth Centre). Helped up with the ice breaking game and was supposed to go to Gombak to collect food and deliver it to IYC but was lost in Taman Connaught. So I went to IYC instead and due to time constrain coz ice breaking game will be starting in an hour time. Vincent went to get the food instead.
There are 32 participants this time and the surprising thing is that the ratio of guy and girls are 1:1! For the past IW normally girls are more than guys one. This one look so healthy and balanced! And I saw good signs: participants get along with each other well pretty fast. We gave them the chance to get to know each other at the lobby while we getting ourselves prepared. Then when they came to the registration desk they were all chatty and laughing already. There are only few who are quiet but I think I dun see any aggressive ones. Maybe it's still too early to judge. But I like the atmosphere when they started playing the ice breaking game. They got so excited when they were playing Dwarf Wizard and Giant (I see full anticipations from them) and I think they had fun!
Weird enough I thought Monster game was fun but when they played that game they looked impatient and tired. Maybe they had too much running in the previous game and it's hot and stuffy there. Summore the food had reached when the game started. Maybe they just felt like eating dinner.
All in all I guess I lifted the spirit gua. That's the main point of the ice breaking game. And the other points of the ice breaking game are: to get them know each other (at least the names), to get sweaty and hence more open and high (aka lift their spirit), to remove the awkwardness of having body contact with their new friends (coz IW will need lots of body contacts and trust)
Then I met Maexi! Someone whom I haven't met since last IW, or was it last last IW? I missed her soo much! Often think of her whenever I go for Raleigh activities. All these while I thought she went over to Aus for studies. Coz saw her FB during June or July saying she's in Aus. Then just now she told me she had been here working, in the same company tim... =.= Such a huge misunderstanding. lol...
Got to talk to the Raleighians and laugh with them, most of the time laughed at BJ (hehe). Met some who goes "Ah.. I've seen you but may I know what's your name?".
I got so nostalgic when I was there. Made me miss the June IW 08 and 09. Today is like a family reunion!
But many didn't turn up la. I didn't see Lali (in UK now), Jia Yaw (not free on this weekend), Adrian, Alan, Li, Kelvin. And Shih Chung and Xin Tong are definitely not here. Miss them lo. If all of them turn up I think there will be more fun!
Sunday I'm gonna see them again. I'm gonna go Gombak without getting myself lost to get the food and send it to IYC again. And I have to bring Poh Ee's projector and laptop there too. Hope they have fun in the jungle and a safe one. =)
