Such a tiring but fun day. Today our class went to Yishun SAFRA adventure centre for the whole day... Very fun!1st task was introduction to Iswan & Ernest[Instructors] our names and 1 word that best describe us. Den after that we did an activity where our own group have to use 1 finger to hold up the hula loop. 1st time was can communicate. Den 2nd time must be silent.2nd task we did was amazing race. We gotta complete 6 stations and find out wad does SAFRA means. We did rock climbing 1st and it was very very high! I managed to climb to the top of the wall which was around 5 storeys high. 2nd station was 'North Pole' Its inside a air conditioned room where there are miniature rock climbing walls and there are letters all over that forms the word 'Just One Word' which was the name of the activity. 3rd station was called 'Bermuda Triangle' where there are 2 ropes which are very high in the air tied onto a lamp post and a tree. We gotta get the whole group thru without touching the rope. 4th station was called 'The Amazon' where 1 by 1 each team members have to go up a platform that is about 1.5m high den gotta fall backwards without and safety rope or anything and fall onto a mat which the rest of the team members are grabbing onto. 5th station was where we have to go around the whole of Yishun SAFRA to find answers to questions on a paper. 6th station was called 'The Pyramid' but we didn't managed to do as there was not enough time. According to the end results we'll get 'money' to purchase materials to build a raft at the end of the day.After that lunch was served at a restaurant and we had Garlic Bread, Soup Of The Day, Chicken Chop and Aloe Vera cake for our lunch. It was very nice!After lunch we went into the room where we put our bags to discuss on how to build our rafts.Den after that 2 representative from each group got to walk a rope confidence challenge. Its was more than 5 storeys high. When we went up, it started to rain so we didn't do it at all. Den we went into 'North Pole' and have a lot of mini games involving rock climbing to gain more 'money'After that we went to the lobby area and our teams combine with the rest to build a tower that represent our class.Den we went to the swimming pool to build our teams' rafts and we race each other.Last but not least, we gathered in the middle of the swimming pool to share our thoughts about wad we learn today. Den after that we went to bathe and we sat the bus back to sch.I had a fun and enjoyable day. Really wish i can go back there again. Ty all the instructors!Leon
