All work and no play make Jack a dull boy

         Students are always preoccupied with their classes every day, not to mention all the assignments, presentations, tests, quizzes, etc. This, at one time may lead to a rise of stress for them. Thus, the honourable committee of DMI Club with cooperation from the lecturers decided to organize an outdoor activity for DMI students. Not to be forgotten, it was half sponsored by our beloved Vision College.

         The activity was held on 14th April 2013 at Desa Waterpark. There were around 20 students with 5 lecturers involved in the activity. All of us took a bus ride there and we arrived at 9.15 a.m. 

          It began with an enjoyable warm-up aerobic exercise led by the DMI Club President, Nor Farhaiza. Then, the relay games started where we were divided into 3 groups; each led by one lecturer. For the games, students were mixed randomly from different batches. Through this, the seniors and juniors had the opportunity to get to know each other and those who were already familiar may become closer. Not only that, it also generated a better relationship between lecturers and students.

The winning team for the games – Long Bone, yeah!

        
Games are over, now it’s splashing time!!!
           After finishing the games in the afternoon, the moment that has been awaited by everyone had arrived; what else other than playing in the water. Without a doubt, that was the most exciting and fun moment of all! Each of us tried every single water games available and of course everyone had their own favourite station to play. Therefore, some of us would play at those stations over and over again to our satisfaction.
My favourite station – water slide
            At 5 p.m., play time was officially over. All of us washed ourselves and prepared to go back to the college. Needless to say, the tiredness was felt at the end of the day and for a few days after, but worthy of it.


May this moment be cherished always
From this activity, together we shared a very precious and memorable experience. Apart from that, it tightened the bond between us; lecturers and students, juniors and seniors to become closer. It was also a great chance for students to release their stress and get away from focusing just on their studies for a while. As the saying goes, “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy”.
