It was a new semester for us and a brand new year, so to start the year off on the right foot the CN Yang Scholars’ Club’s Social and Welfare portfolio organised the “New Year New Dreams” event to let us kick back and enjoy before starting the hectic semester.
The event started with a delicious and scrumptious buffet, after which we had ample time to mix around with the fellow CN Yang Scholars before the programmes officially started.
After dinner the programmes started, which included booths with traditional games like capteh, uno and even scrabble. There were also interesting booths like the henna/skin paint, which we usually wouldn’t have done on our own. Traditional snacks like Gem Biscuits and Potato Wheels were given out, which will definitely come in handy during revision time.
There were also message boards posted around the walls of the function hall, which allowed the scholars to write their messages and hopes for the new year while reminiscing on old times. There were a mix of wholesome and funny messages which also helped lift our spirits.
Overall, the event was truly enjoyable and relaxing, and gave us a good break in between studies. 11/10 would go again! ?
