Japanese Club Second Ice Breaking Session

By Izyan Amin.


On Wednesday afternoon, 25th of January, the Japanese club held their second ice breaking session with an activity that had the members running all over PTEK. "The purpose of the activity was for the junior and senior members to get to know and interact with one another", said the president of the club, Khariul Ariff.

At the start of the activity, members divided themselves into groups of four. First they had to search for the tiny Japanese flags hidden all over the school and collect them as much as they could for every flag they found, points were awarded. One team managed to find a total of 9 flags! After finding a minimum of 5 flags, the four teams must race against each other to complete all the instructed 'missions'. One of the missions was a game held in the canteen area where one person is blindfolded and placed among some objects and the other team mates must lead the person on with their voices to retrieve the objects.

Another one of the games was a blind taste test where one person from each team had to guess the name of the drinks! There were a total of four missions and after each team had completed all the missions, the final instruction was given to them by the president which was to find the missing person. A picture of the back of the person's head was shown and another clue was given to each team to search for this person. Turns out, the missing person was none other than our very own Pulse photographer, Zulfadhli Rosli! The team who founded him was awarded major points and that puts the race to an end.

Well, there was one quite tricky game that was planned out. It was where at each check point, the person in charge had to say a certain phrase in Japanese and the participants had to actually understand them to know what it meant. Unfortunately, many ignored the phrase and just went on. The phrase were clues for the  participants in finding three certain stars, different stars with different points. It was good enough that a group managed to find one although they did not win first place but it was still a tricky one.

Here are some pictures to share.
