Following this initial interaction, the excitement soared as participants ventured to the scenic East Coast Park for a series of exhilarating activities. These engaging games were strategically designed to break the ice among students hailing from different faculties, fostering an atmosphere of camaraderie and unity.
The activities ranged from the challenging Human Knot and the whimsical dressing-up escapade with newspaper to the glamorous catwalk competition showcasing the best dress. Adding a dash of competition, students also took part in a relay race where they were grouped together using raffia strings. It ended with the Newspaper Limbo Challenge, where students daringly attempted to fit themselves within the confines of a newspaper. This entertaining challenge tests their agility and flexibility as they endeavor to fold and contort themselves to fit into the limited space of the newspaper.
Post-adventure, our fresh-faced freshmen were treated to a delectable BBQ feast, impeccably prepared by the dedicated members of our student council. The sizzling aroma of the barbecue dishes wafted through the air, and it wasn’t long before every last morsel vanished, a testament to the delectable fare on offer.
The talent within our freshmen cohort shone through as some spirited individuals voluntarily serenaded their peers with heartwarming songs, adding a melodious touch to the evening’s festivities.
As the day gradually drew to a close, a memorable group photograph was captured, encapsulating the spirit of unity and excitement that marked the NIM Student Orientation.
