Dearest main comms, sub comms, AS students and readers,

as this financial AY is coming to an end, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all main comms and sub comms for putting in their best effort in running Applied Science Studies Club and its events to ensure that the events were run smoothly and the participants had benefited from them.

However, we need everyone to get involved in the upcoming Human Wheelbarrow Challenge this Friday. Do support our freshmen while they are competing with other schools for the fastest Human Wheelbarrow Challenge trophy.

Reminder: OLs, you guys are highly encouraged to join your freshmen to their field trips next week. Officials involved in Week 0 Orientation are also welcomed to join the freshmen in their field trips. Kindly give your name to Grace Ke to confirm your attendence.

To end off this post, I wish everyone all the best in their studies and I hope that you guys will forever remember 1 big family of ASSC AY08/09. For those who are interested in keeping the photos of ASSC events in AY 08/09, do give me a call or look for me in school next week. PS: file size may be huge.

ASC RETREAT (16th - 17th Sept)

We had our retreat on the 16th and 17th. And we hope that everyone enjoyed themselves.
Most importantly is that the bond DID grow stronger.
:)

Once the sub comm arrived the chalet, they were being brought to Pasir Ris park to play some games. The first game played was 5up-7up. Your multiples of 5 and 7 got to be good and your numbers got to be familiar too.

After that, we changed game to 'Jump, Jump' (;

Everyone had fun! (:

At 630pm, we started heading back to the chalet. Grace and Jordan suggested to cheer while heading back. So, we stopped for awhile to do the 'Hey AS cheer' But the plan failed. Too many people were outside BBQ-ing.

BBQ time!

Food is everyone's favourite.

After that, most of them went in to play the game similar to Pictionary.

Before Pictionary, it was Poker.

The chalet was an enjoyable one.
May all of us really work hard together!
ASC~

LTC o8/o9

2008-09-07T16:37:00.000+08:00

LTC 08/09

HELLO! (: Hope you enjoyed the LTC and learnt new things during the camp. :D

Main Comm

The Main Comm's LTC started out with a run at Bedok Reservoir. We ran one round under the rain and we had to do 7up/5up. Meaning, while running, we got to count from 1 - 100 and each number which is the multiple of 5 or 7 and contain 5 or 7, we got to shout 5up or 7up. (: All of us were soaking wet.

Run. (:

Push ups.

Starjumps.

130 pull-ups.

88 sit ups.

990 half squats.

220 Burpies.

330 step ups

After the PT, we proceeded to our next task, which is to somehow play games. There were a total of four games. First game was the human trolley. Each of us got to tie either our hands or legs together with the person next to you and the initial plan was that girls be the one holding the guys legs (except for XX and Jordan).

Helping one another to tie

Understand what I meant about tying one another's leg? (: We had hell lot of difficulties walking.

Our initial plan failed. Because the guys were too heavy for the girls. So we did a swop.

First attempt.

Second attempt.

And finally!

We spent a long time in the first game because it wasnt easy. And poor Grace fell and hit the bottom of her chin.

The next game was the chair game, that was similar to the caterpillar game, just that this time, our legs were tied again.

Then~, we went on with game no. 3 - The skipping rope. We had to skip 20 times continuously.

HAHA! I know pictures cant say much, so there are videos for you to see how tiring it was.

We tried..

and tried...

and tried.....

still trying.....

and after mutliple times of trying, we finally managed to jump 20times!

We almost died. And after jumping so many times, most of us got a big hole on our socks. Then, we moved on to our last game - filling of bottles. We had to separate all of us into 3 groups and tied our hands together to fill a bucket of water. Then, together, with the hands tied, fill a 1.5L bottle full.

After that, it was finally our lunch time at about 2pm. We were supposed to come out with 6 tee shirt designs, 4 notice board designs and 2 web page design within 1.5hours, while having our lunch. (:

Day 2

This guy woke us up, using his wonderful voice....

All of us had no choice but to wake up. Then, we move to the club room and started preparing logistics for the sub comm LTC.

We spent one whole day. (:

Sub Comm LTC

Our man, Rahimi, did a demonstration on the banana dance. (:

The forfeit.

Making of light towers.

Probitas.
They won best cheer. (:

Duco.

Diligentia.

Lustus.

Prestantia.
They won best performance.

2nd day of Sub Comm LTC

that's the end! :D I believed everyone is contented. So, do stay in touch. (: The journey ahead, awaits you. (; GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

because of you, the camp was a blast.
