Another event which was specifically organized for the new students of Sakura College had been held last Saturday, September 9th, 2015. Compulsory for all new students, there were actually two venues allocated, which were the Surau Kolej Sakura and the Seminar Room as to conduct the College Orientation (Orientasi Kolej) due to the limited spaces that had to occupy a big number of the new students.
The registration counter was opened at 7:30 AM. For first, all of the new students requested to assemble in the Seminar Room for distribution of groups. There were 16 groups of all. The organizers of the event had decided to divide the groups into two according to the places. Groups with odd number would stay in the Seminar Room while the even number groups would resume the flow of the event at Surau Kolej Sakura.
Mainly, the names of every group were inspired by childhood cartoons or computer-animated fantasy. There were Doraemon, Minion, Aladdin, Naruto, Pokemon, Winx, Power Rangers, Shin Chan, Hagemaru, Ninja Turtle, Frozen, Ben 10, One Piece, Pink Panther, Shrek. Before proceed to the games, every group were given 5-10 minutes to know with their respective facilitator and create their own cheers.
The points (marks) were given by the amount of chocolate balls collected by each of the groups. For every game, only top five groups would be given the chocolate balls which would be the points.
For the first game, every group had to choose six peoples which was one of them would be the leader (instructors) and the rest of them would be blindfolded (received and carried out what had been instructed).
The second game was inspired by the crossword puzzle and hidden words games. Firstly, everyone in the group had to fill in their name by letters according to the boxes without leaving even a space. When they had finished, it was time to find and search any words that have meaning despite of any languages from the boxes that they had filled up their names. Groups with the most words would get the highest point.
For the third game, it was a "teka teki" (guess what) game. Each facilitator from each group would pick a paper which had been written with a sentence, idioms or expressions. One person from each group would be the first person to mime and act creatively as to deliver what was written in the paper to the 'next person'. The 'next person' that had received the informations then would act and mime to be guessed by the another next person. It went on and on until the last person in the group. The rule was; no voice.
The fourth game was a "bomb" game of which each groups would compete with each other by pronouncing their opponent's name as for the attack purpose. This game needed a lot of focus and interpreting. Once the attacked group failed to react quickly to the attacker, they were automatically eliminated.
And the last game which was the fifth game was a "chicken fight" game which was inspired from Running Man. Ten person from each group were choosen as representatives. With the players lifted and folded either one of their legs, then they were ready to attack their opponents. The rules were no hands and once the players were attacked that their folded leg fell, they were out.
Overall, everyone was enjoying their time and had fun during the orientation. As the last game had completed, all groups were then assembled again in the Seminar Room as for the announcement of the winners and photograph session.
Congratulation to Ben 10, Hagemaru and Naruto that had secured the winner, second runner-up and third place respectively. With that, the Orientation College had finally come to an end.
