Recreational Family Day

The 27 of March was definitely a day to remember. It was the recreational family day of CASFUMAL 2011. The day started off with a good attendance from the committees of CASFUMAL all gathering outside the lecture hall of UTP. Immediately, there were already bonding from the committees talking and chatting with each other. After everyone is settled down, the committees were  introduced  to their delicious breakfast of nasi lemak and a bottle of mineral water. 

After the meal, HRM department took over to give a short briefing on how the first game of the day is going to be, named pirate-treasure hunter game. The rules of the game is quite simple, the team who is  to be the 'treasure hunter' is supposed to find for ribbons hidden all around the USM area while the 'pirates' are supposed to find the treasure hunters and rip a tag pinned to their shirt. As unfair as it may sound for the treasure hunter team, there's a catch to this game, the 'pirates' have an empty can tied to their leg so that when they walk, it will touch the ground and produces much sound to alert the 'treasure hunters' of their coming. 


The committees are divided into two teams and each team captain is allowed to choose their desired assignment, 'pirate' or 'treasure hunter'. After they both reached an agreement, the treasure hunter is let off first. They were given a 5 minutes head start to study the clues given to them and decide where the ribbons are hidden. After the 5 minutes is up, the 'pirates' were release, making a lot of noise as they walk/run.

Right after the pirates were released, the screams from the 'treasure hunters' could be heard. Didn’t have enough time to run and hide, many of them were caught nearby, all of them showing their faces of despair. 


As expected, a short while later, approximately 20 minutes, all the treasure hunters were caught, thus claiming the victory for the 'pirates' team.  They were given a few minutes break then they exchanged roles. 

 This time, the treasure hunters managed to last for the whole 1 hour. Amazingly,1 of their member was still 'alive' even after  the time was up and several of her teammates went hunting for her instead shouting out her name all around USM area. Some even claimed her to be a ninja because she managed to hide from the pirate team for the whole 1 hour. 

After the game was ended, all the committees were exhausted from all the running and chasing so they were treated with a 'coffee break' which is the second and last game of the day. This game started with all the committees sitting in a straight row with their same grouping as the previous game. The game master then placed 1 plastic cup for each person.  Having all pumped up from the game before, the team was hard to handle at this point of time where they were all busy telling their buddies about their good times and bad times they faced in the game. One of them even asked if what they were doing was a game because he thought it was just an ordinary drinking session.


After the laughter and all, the game master then brief about the rule of the game. Basically, it goes like when a committee rolls the dice, he/she will be given the number of teaspoon of coffee into his cup corresponding to the number he gets from the dice. The second time he/she rolls the dice, it will determine the type of spoon he will be using to scoop sugar into his cup, ranging from a small plastic spoon to soup spoon which are already assigned number.

 There was much laughter throughout the entire game due to some committee getting many spoons of coffee but little sugar into their cup and other funny combination of coffee-sugar that wouldn't even sound logical. After everyone got their combination of sugar-coffee into their cup, they were then given hot water to make their coffee for example 3 teaspoon of coffee and 1 soup spoon of sugar! .

Starting from the front most committee, they were going head to head with the opponent sitting opposite them. Drinking one at a time, they forcefully gulped down their coffee and pass on their cue to their next team mate to start drinking only after they finish their coffee. There were much cheering and encouragement from each other. Some even went to the extent of pushing their teammates' cup to their mouth. 

The game ended well with most of the committees managing to finish their coffee. After that, there was a short speech from the HRM AHOD and from the PD himself. The day ended with a photo shooting session conducted by PnP department.
