25 people from different cultures, schools and ideologies but with a common passion for the environment were elected as the office bearers of the 20th Management of Earthlink NTU. Thus, an outing was organized to create and foster a bond of trust, friendship and co-operation among the members of the newly formed committee.
The outing to Gardens by the Bay on the 15th of September was organized by the Nature Guidance Officer and the Education and Welfare Officer. It was a potluck dinner, where each committee member would bring in some food and we would have a picnic as well as games to get to know each other better.
We set up a picnic spot along one of the paths and started our first game, Human Bingo. Each of the committee members was given a sheet of paper with a set of personality questions that they had to answer by finding someone else within the committee who fit the description. It gave the members a great chance to find out more about each other “!s preferences and characteristics.
The game was followed by the dinner where everyone enjoyed a taste of all the different kinds of food brought by the committee as a whole. After the potluck picnic, the entire committee proceeded towards the garden “!s signature Supertree Grove to bask in the array of lights in the evening as the Supertrees come to life with mesmerizing lights and music. This enchanting spectacle brought what was a fruitful and merry outing to an end.
I think I can speak for the entire committee when I say that we had a wonderful time and are eagerly anticipating working together over the next one year as Earthlink NTU embarks on a new journey.
