New Year, New Yang

13 Sep, 2025 | Events, Feature

New Year, New Yang is the last event hosted by the 17MC SnW Portfolio. It served as an avenue to welcome scholars back to school after the long summer break and for freshmen and seniors create meaningful connections.

A key attraction of the event was the catered buffet dinner. There was an array of food available, topped off with a variety of delightful desserts.

The activity stations were also a great hit as many scholars flocked to both the lego and mirror making stations to create their masterpieces. Additionally, the photobooth allowed scholars to leave with their memorabilia of the night with their friends.

Throughout the night, scholars were seen enjoying their time with their friends, from competing at a game on Nintendo Switch, to sitting around and catching up with their friends.

The academic year is off to a great start as the night was filled with lots of laughter and fun, while scholars made precious memories with their friends. We hope this energy will be brought forth to the rest of the academic year!

Thank you to 17MC SnW for organizing such a wonderful closing event, and to 17MC PnP for capturing the night through their lenses!

Hallow-Yang

28 Dec, 2024 | Events, Feature

A Frightful Friday to end the week!

Hallow-Yang, the first event hosted by the 17MC Social & Welfare Portfolio, was more than just a Halloween-inspired gathering—it was an unforgettable night designed to help students unwind before the chaos of exam season.

The evening was packed with treats and activities that left everyone grinning. Free bubble tea and delicious finger foods fueled the fun, but it was the unique activities that truly stole the spotlight.

From creating gooey masterpieces at the slime-making workshop to battling it out at the Nintendo Switch station, there was something for everyone. The 17MC PnP team worked tirelessly to capture each magical moment, and students left with polaroid keepsakes from the photo booth—a tangible reminder of a night well spent.

But the real showstoppers? The costumes! Where else would you find a bunch dinosaurs posing for selfies or NTU campus riders laughing over a game of Jenga? (Now you know what the buses do once they terminate!)

What made Hallow-Yang truly special were the students who brought their energy, laughter, and a bit of Halloween mischief to every corner of the event. The night was filled with joy, random shenanigans, and memories that we’ll carry forward as inspiration for more incredible events in the future!

Thank you once again to the 17MC SnW for arranging this wonderful event!

Bubble Soccer

An Exhilarating Respite

Bubble Soccer is 16MC Social and Welfare’s second event, inspired by the goal to destress and break free from academic stress and inject some excitement into the scholar’s lives. Bubble soccer offers a unique form of sport in a more enjoyable form.

“I loved it, it was so fun, I speak on behalf of everyone” ~ Adabel. “It was very fun to fling my friends around!” ~ Junyi, jokingly.

The event garnered enthusiastic feedback from participants like Adabel, who found joy in the sheer fun of the game, highlighting the exhilarating experience of tossing fellow friends within the safety of the bubble. It was a momentous occasion for the scholars, many felt that this was a great moment for them to bond which was rather difficult, especially during this busy period.

The scholars had to don the bubble suit and bump into each other while playing different games throughout the event.

The aim of Bubble Soccer is to score goals while wearing inflatable bubble suits. It closely resembles traditional soccer, with participants kicking the ball towards the goal to score points.

Invasion is a game where the scholars had to run into the opposite goal before their opponent reached theirs first where we had to use exhilarating runs and strategic manoeuvres to try to get to the other side first.

Last Stand pits the scholars against each other, it is a free-for-all game where the scholars bump into each other in an attempt to be the sole survivor!

The scholars’ enthusiasm was the driving force behind making this experience truly unforgettable. Without their lively participation, our activity wouldn’t have been as memorable as it turned out to be.

Our biggest thanks to the 16MC PnP portfolio for helping to take photographs and videos during the event, the documentation of this event would not be possible without their help.

We would also like to extend our thanks to our first aiders Junyi and Lixuan for helping out with first aid in this event, the safety of our participants was assured with them around!

Hallow’23

17 Nov, 2023 | Events, Feature

Halloween in November?

Hallow ‘23 is the first event of the 16MC’s tenure, and with it, the first Social and Welfare initiative. Inspired by the season, we felt that bringing back a Halloween-themed event would be a thematic way for scholars to decompress and have fun before the intensity of exam season hits. Having people come down dressed up in costumes and painting pumpkins, gives everyone the chance to let loose and get creative.

The scholars that came down got to enjoy pizza, snacks, and drinks with their friends, all while enjoying good music and games. Our 16MC PnP faithfully took photos throughout the night, and many scholars headed to our photo booth for polaroids to remember the night.

Ultimately, it’s the scholars themselves who truly made the experience — we just provided the venue and refreshments! That said, the smiles and laughs that fill our photo dump encourage us to keep up the good work (and to order more food next time :D).

Here’s what one of our scholars had to say about Hallow’23!
“The event was an excellent platform for fostering closer relationships with my fellow batchmates. Not only were we able to enjoy good food, we were also able to play a lot of games! I also really liked that many of us came donned in costumes. I had a good laugh seeing the hilarious costumes that my friends were wearing. Overall, it was a great chance for me to destress and I really had a great time at the event! 10/10 experience!! :)” – Teresa

All the best for finals, and see you next event! – 16MC SnW
