During the holidays Dover Tech '09 has organised a lot of events for the members. Members have attended the PC Show 2009 at Suntec Convention Hall. It can be seen that some of them are keen to know more about computering and hardware. While some have actually done research by coming the day before they want to get their purchase of laptops. Jian Yong is more aware of the new technologies that the market is selling. Jasper has also taken the initiative to actually control groups while in the mass of public, by having one at the front and back. While one to actually cater the needs of those who need tips for products. He has also taught the members on how to notice a manufacturer but coming from different suppliers. Overall the people who have attended are quite behaved and maneuvering whilst in the crowd.

On the first week of the holidays, we had team building and enrichment courses for them as well. The team building on Monday was fun. We had four rounds of 'Capturing the Flag'. Teams are separated to four teams, each has to setup their own base in school. They have to elect their on leader/warden, to protect their flag from incoming attackers. Teams are to come out with their on strategy, be it defensive or offensive tactics. For the first round the teams may still be unsure about the rules, since the wardens aren't suppose to run with along the flag. So the game was restarted. Thereafter the games went smoothly. Members are more rationalised, are aware of each other potential and weakness.

During the second round, Jasper overheard me while I was telling Benjamin where our base was. Ended up Jasper deployed his base a level below us. When the round starts, funny thing was 2 of the members was rather ambushed in a 3v2 arena. Besides being offensive, they had alliance with Jasper's team. Now they only have 2 teams to eliminate. Some of them even went to hide behind the glass panels which was near the carpark area. Smartly their didn't break the rules of no premises in carpark, they were just standing at the pavement. They hide their for 35 minutes, but was caught due to overwhelming numbers. Last round was a battle between the four rounds and the EXCO team! 7 EXCOs batttling with over 25 members, since we are sure that all the four teams will definitely merge and battle us. We are clear of the area in school, so we hide the flag beneath a car near the garage. After all EXCOs was caught, the teams were still unable to find the flag. ;D

MVP (Most Valulable Players) players would be Darren; Hasbullah; Peng Han and Johnny. Darren and Johnny has good defensive ways to protect from being caught, yet still able to tackle other mates. Hasbullah has a strong stamina, he can run rather long. He ran along with me for the perimeter of the school and back to the foyer again. Lastly he still caught me, and I lost. Peng Han has quite a good sense of strategy and eyesight. He managed to get hold of 3 flags in the second round.

Despite of yesterday incident, the 'Rambo' came for the enrichment course. At least this time he was rather well-behaved. With the push from yesterday's teambuilding, they are more bonded and able to see that they are helping each other. Orlina helped Jian Yong in the Packet Tracer assignment. People are more keen to learn about Packet Tracer, allowing them to have access to IT Dept's Intranet. Students are also get to hands on to the CPU dismantling process. What actually awed me was now they displayed a Mac G4 CPU being opened for display at 14-01. Posted by Purity And Simplicity at 22:01
