5ense5

Hi, Jeevan Cian form the Editorial board here,

So its looks like our exhibition theme has finally been set.
Senses!

For those still a little confused about the theme 'Senses', here's a recap of the slides on Wednesday.

There’s more to sense than what we already know about SENSE.

We all know that there are the five classical senses:

Sight
Sound
Taste
Smell
Touch

But there are other senses that we look past or don't notice in our everyday lives, such as:
Temperature
Balance
Pain
Emotions
Movement
Shadow
Familiarity/Unfamiliarity

So with that being said, our batch is going to leave our mark and let the audience experience something unexpected,
We aim to create an exhibition that defies the norm.
Exploring the world of senses in a new perspective.
Interactions with the audience.
Installations.

The exhibition has the potential to be great everyone, its such a broad topic and we are only limited by our imaginations.
So if you have any ideas(no matter how 'out there') for our exhibition, the president and his vices will be happy to hear them! =)

To get some inspiration for ideas, here's a website that can help.

GC UPDATE

Hello Everyone,
Welcome back to school.
Here are some of the updates about our GC.

Firstly Marcus has stepped down as our beloved Marketing head and Ang Jen Sern has been promoted. We will sorely miss Marcus and his off beat humor but Jen Sern is a more than able replacement.

Our Exhibition will be held on the 5th of May! Eveyroen has to pull together to make it a success.

Also the committee is racking out brains to confirm an idea for the overall theme of exhibition people, if you have and decent ideas, please let your representative know.
We got to stand out people, we want to be remembered!

Finally it was time to go home and leaving a heavy heart, we've a great time there, building up new friendships, learning new experience and also living the way our ancestors used to. Hehe. It was time to bid adieu to Isi Rimba not to mention thanking the facilitators there for taking care of us and also Wei Peow, Chris and the other committees for organizing this wonderful camp!

82
Goodbye Isi Rimba! Rest assured we will remember and probably come again one fine day ^^ Batch 55, signing out =)

p/s: There are more pictures actually but I guess this could sum up what we did there? The one that is lacking is the obstacle gadgets. Oh and not forgetting the video Marcus took of Sam =P

Isi Rimba Camp Photos update 2

Day 2

After a long good nights rest (which i think i hardly had =.=), everyone woke up completely freezing cold cuz of the morning weather. But today was the day that we were supposed to do our survivor jungle trekking which we would be alone with our team to set up a campsite by ourselves.

We started the day with a normal workout to relax our VERY sore muscles from the day before activities out
Only equipped with a very blunt parang (which my team would call tukul (hammer)), a Zippo lighter, a packet of rice, one very tiny salted fish, one biji potato and coffee + sugar.

41
Sam again to help out with the warming out.

42

While waiting for breakfast to be ready, we sorta had another game to play which was quite fun. This is how it works.

1) Everyone sits in a HUGE circle and someone would be walking outside the circle.
2) He/She taps the a person's head while walking and the person has to scream creating a hand wave from both direction.
3) When the waves stops at a person, he/she must scream and the 2 friends sitting next to him would have to stand up and run (one clockwise another anti-clockwise) to be seated back at their seats.
4) While the 2 is running, the inital person who tapped the head would take a seat in one of the empty seats.

Its something like Musical Chair, only much more challenging..haha

43
Tsai Yen running with her competitor

44
Lip Wei n See Chun got time to nego who to sit somemore, keng (As u can see, Eric got big butt, so he went and took the space instead...hahaha)

After that, we all went for breakfast (it was nasi lemak!) and proceed back to the assembly area. Then Encik Roselan begin the brief on the survivor jungle trekking. He taught us which plants are used for medical purposes (Daun Kapal Terbang and Kerongsong Nek -something-), edible (Pucuk Rebung, Pucuk Pakis) and also to teach us how to cut the bamboo as well as to make the roof for the hut.

45

And so, our journey begins at around 10AM.

50
All the climbing and going on fours.

51
On fours at the bamboo area. Everyone had to becareful of the Daun Miang (Perverted Leaves?...LOL) that will make you itch and would have to brush it against ur hair (yes, hair) as it creates a static energy to remove the thorns.

52

53

54
Can someone tell me what Jeff is doing? o.o

55
See the leaves in the bamboo which Tsai Yen is carrying? Those are the Daun Miang.

56

58
Clearing the campsite.

59
Everyone had trouble starting the fire...=P

60
Those who never see a leech before, THIS IS HOW IT LOOKS LIKE!

61
Cleaning the campsite.

Okay, so after all the building of gadgets and the fire, we've finally finished the activity around 6PM and the RAIN came pouring down on us. This time we had to make a stretcher and carry one of our member through the river and back to the campsite. No one was left dry, seriously. =P

Soon it was night time and everyone bathe and had the BEST dinner at that camp (Chicken patty and hotdog with Black pepper/tomato/chili sauce, coleslaw, cob of a corn, fried mihun and fried rice. YUMMY! ^^)

Then it was the Campfire activity that was after dinner. Oh they returned back our handphones and wallet n car keys during dinner too =P

Sing-Along with Jeff
Wani, Shea Leen, Chris
Nick explaining the "Somor? Har?" Game ( i think)

After the games, we went to have our last night sleep in the jungle while it rained.

During the game, the kitchen prepared biscuits and tea as our tea time meal. After the paintball, we all went to get cleaned up (cuz a lot kena the bullet (or known as palette) hence creating love bites from one to another. U should see Tsai Yen's love to Marcus...XD)

The plates Isi Rimba provide us with theirs but we must jaga them la. So every meal we gotta bring it to the Dining Hall, not to mention we had to wash them in the river where there were fishes! It was a big no-no to wash at the sink as the facilitator told us.

After the jungle trekking which ended around 1AM, we all went back to our tents to have a good night sleep.
