Hmm.. then along came the local Freshers and suddenly there's like 2 million new faces and then you have this vertigo sensation when you look at the number of people... Well, we were split up into groups where we did some ice-breakers, which I'm sure we all know is as useful as trying to dig a hole with a teaspoon. Anyway, we had this "boat-building" thing that was interesting enough to be mentioned... ;p Basically, we were given materials like balloons, cardboard, pens, tape, etc and we were supposed to build a boat... Yeah, it's that simple... So, we went ahead and built a boat...

So here is Ben holding "THE BOAT". And then we were told that it was supposed to stay afloat the longest.. and apparently, we were supposed to use an aggresive strategy... So, we stuck pins on the sides of the boat as you can see from the straws sticking out from the sides...

And then we launched the boat... And here's a photo of "THE BOAT" in action... And as half of you can probably guess (i mean this is not rocket science), we didn't actually burst any balloons at all... The pins weren't sharp enough... Hmmz.. I guess we'll have to request for sharper pins next year....

Here's another picture of other boats that were built... I just had to put this picture cos it's so nice... the reflection of the clouds on the pond and also the faces of the people watching... Ahh... Picturesque setting... =)
