It's in fact, as Wee Thean, Mr Murali and co. claim, really edible 'cause it consists of water, flour, eggs (shells included), tofu, ketchup and pepper. Disgusting.
Anyway, went down to the track with Wai Yin right before 2.15. There was already a crowd hanging around waiting for the games to start. So like, after a short briefing in the hot sun (and now my face is quite sunburnt), we started the best Boarding Games in the four years I've been here.
Got assigned Group 11 under Angela. Knew quite a few people in our group, which was cool.
First station was the dog and bone station, except with a ridiculously nerdy twist. Had to solve the math questions they called out for our numbers. The first question was "The square root of the number of the bus you can take to Clementi from the back gate" or something (which was 14). Adrian Peh was smart enough to count and number the prime numbers before we started. Bet three sticks and won, so we earned three to add to our original fifteen.
Second station was this station where you had to pass floury ping pong balls with plastic spoons and water with plastic cups placed on your head. Bet two sticks. Totally owned it because we filled the bottle with water before time ran out, so they had to stop it early and declare us winners.
Third station was the really disgusting station, where you had to fish little laminated puzzle pieces out of a bucket of that gunk I described earlier on, then three-legged race across over to a table where you had to put the puzzles together (there were two). Mr Murali added loads of pepper to our bucket because I apparently "insulted" it, and buckets of revolting gunk apparently have feelings and all. It's a horrible sensation, feeling around in that stuff. Ugh. Anyway, bet three sticks because according to Yu Fong, it's all in or nothing (really good philosophy in this case) and owned again.
Fourth station was hurling water balloons over string in a sort of volleyball setup. Not much to say, but we owned it again by a point (so close). By then we were on a total roll. The other groups didn't stand a chance against us.
Fifth station was Captain's Ball with water balloons instead of a ball. Kept bursting, and was a huge mess. Ended up in a tie, so nobody won anything. But almost everyone got drenched. Awesome stuff.
Sixth station was some sort of human foosball thing, so we stood in lines and kicked a ball to and fro for a while. Lost, but that was okay.
The last station was the best, 'cause it was an obstacle course with spinning in circles, hula hooping, sliding across a soapy mat, crawling underneath poles between chairs, and running zigzag. Awesome stuff.
And then the accidents started. Hafiy slipped too fast and hit his head really badly. I think he's got some kind of concussion, because he blanked out for a moment and went all nauseous. Poor thing. Then we found out Kelvin was bleeding from an eye at another station around the same time. Was just a cut though, so no vision lost.
To add to the injuries, Fatin (junior) got whacked in the eye, and Fatinn somehow had a long scratch across her arm, and Victor's toe started bleeding. Like, whoa.
According to my roommate (who was on first aid duty), a whole load of people got injured today. Just goes to show we're a suicidal, violent batch.
In the end, Group 11 won second place with 23 sticks. Yeah, go us. Earned a hamper full of food and we rejoiced. Yeahey, go us.
So yes, best Boarding Games so far.
Kudos to all organisers and helpers.
