2. Estate Department

7. Teachers
For their help in ensuring that we keep up with our work throughout Youth Week, and especially to Mr. Edward Ng who came down to take the Free Kick Challenge as well.

8. Students
And finally, you students who came to join in all our activities. Without your support, Youth Week ’07 would not have been possible.

Tuesday - Rubik's Cube Competition!

Hi all, sorry for the late post. But anyway, here are the anticipated pics for the crowd stirring rubrics cube competition held today. (:

Mufti Week

A very late evening to you ladies and gentlemen!

Since this is the first Mufti Week ever, heres a brief guidelines.

First up, tuesday, you will be coming in your ever dependable school uniform! unfortunately, your public identity as a student is tied down to this wonderful garment for 6 years in RI and RJC, so cherish it well.....


Next up, for Wednesday, its CCA shirt time! With CCA being such an integral part of our RI lives (for good or for bad), wednesday you can come in your CCA shirt plus your school pants or PE shorts! Since Wednesday is a CCA day, this eliminates your need to bring extra sets of clothing!
(note: swimming trunks and goggles optional)


Thursday get ready to see the school compound awash in the house colors of Red, Blue Green, Yellow and Black! Thats right folks, come in your house shirts and school/PE pants, and bring some color into your lives!


Alas, all good things have to come to an end, and we are capping up youth week with RIdentity mufti, where you can come in anything decent so long as your have a visible garment that's either Green, Black or White( no we are not going to look into your underpants).

With that, have a pleasant youth week ahead! Hopefully we wont see any wardrobe malfunctions!

Pokemon

I choose you, Pikachu!

For Wonderful Wednesday, be sure not to miss the prelims of the Pokemon Battle Competition!


Although the Pokemon Series has been around for quite a long time, it still remains popular, and lets face it, an unforgettable part of our youth. Who can forget the countless hours we spent training our Pokemon, slaying enemies with impunity, and crying over our dead Pokemon?(joking). This Wednesday, we give you a chance to relive the good old days, with countless of cudly but dangerous monsters to boot.

Anyway, to the details!:

• Held on both recesses (and possibly lunch) on Wednesday
• Top 8 moves on to finals on Fabulous Friday
• Bring your own Gameboys! We dont have spares (donations anyone?)
• Only Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/Fire Red/ Leaf Green allowed.
• 3 Pokemon on 3 Pokemon battles, Pokemon selection undisclosed to opponent.
• No item use allowed, but your pokemon are allowed to hold items.
• No more than 1 legendary pokemon on each team.
• All 3 pokemon must be different.

Here are the prizes!

• 1st Prize: GV Movie Voucher
• 2nd Prize: Soft Toy (eek cuddly!)
• 3rd Prize: A figurine! (details to be confirmed, but dont worry, we wont be giving you barbie dolls).

Thats it for now, enjoy yourselves guys!
Gotta Catch em' All

Rubik's Cube Competition

Hello ladies and Gentlemen!

Tonight, I present to you guys more details about our first competition, the Rubik's Cubes Contest!

So fellow Rafflesians, if you have been naughty recently and gotten your cubes confiscated, now would be a good time to try and talk the teacher out of holding on to your precious squares of mathematical logic.

With more and more students playing with Rubik's Cubes these days, these cubes are springing up more and more everywhere, from the tabletops of hyperactive students to the decorations of the teacher's staff rooms, providing a testament to the popularity of this uniquely Rafflesian toy.

Anyway, back to the contest!

Venue
School Canteen
Time
Both Recesses
What to bring
Your own 3x3 rubik's cube (if you have. we have spares for those who dont). It would be helpful if it was pre-solved, as we will be jumbling up all the cubes in the same way to ensure that the contest is fair.
What to expect
We will give you back your cube all jumbled out, and your timing will start. The time ends when you completely solves the cube. The 8 fastest solvers will qualify for the finals on Fabulous Friday, where it will be a intense competitive round.
Format
We will be jumbling up your cube with 40 different moves and thereby handing it back to you. After which, you have 15 seconds to look at it before your time begins. There will only be 1 time taken. Aim to the fastest 8 to qualify for finals on Fri!
Prizes!!!
1st Place: Title of fastest Rubik's Cube Solver in RI, limited edition cube!
2nd Place: Cube Lubricant ( so that you can solve faster next time =P)
3rd Place: Cube stickers
Plus the top 5 places gets wristbands!

So, till next time, happy memorising of cube sequences!

Event Lineup For Youth Week

This is Koon Chong, willing slave of Youth Week Organization Committee, bringing to all you guys out there an event overview of the hodgepodge of activities you guys can expect next week as per the celebration of Youth Week, with the aid of what else other than a RI guy's best friend, bullet points!!!

• To kick off the week right, you guys will be coming to school on Tuesday in... guess what, school uniform! What other form of attire would represent our Rafflesian identity as much as our favourite clothing of white! But, i hear ye cry, so don't worry, we have some surprises in store for you!



• First up for Tremendous Tuesday, we are holding a competition cherishing the one and only toy that seems to be getting confiscated more and more these days! That's right folks, its your rubik's cubes sitting pretty atop your favorite teachers' tables. With this unassuming toy being an integral part of the Rafflesian identity, we're holding this contest to see who can solve a jumbled-up Rubik’s cube within the shortest time, with the fastest 8 rubik's cube solvers moving on to a grand final on Fabulous Friday!




• Next for the afternoon expect to be able to feast your eyes on a gorgeous movie in a secret location! Keep your eyes peeled to this blog for more details on how to spend your Tuesday afternoon getting enthralled.




• Wonderful Wednesday is where the fun really starts! First up, you will be able to free yourself of the constraints of the white tops of the school uniform, and substitute it for the loving embrace of your CCA shirt!
  
  
  
• "I choose you, Pikachu!" Dont get shocked if you here this cry often during wednesday recess, for it is a Pokemon dueling fiesta with the top 8 winners of 3 on 3 battles moving on to the finals on Fabulous Friday! Stay tuned for more details, where else but on this blog?




• And on Topsy-Turvy Thursday, its time to display your youthful passion for your Houses by donning your unofficial house T-shirts! Get ready to see your one and only campus awash with the vibrant colors of Red, Green, Blue, Yellow and Black!





• Get set for a ball of a time with your favourite sport: soccer! Soccer is an integral part of Rafflesians’ lives, and taking free kicks is just one part of indulging in soccer. Get ready to feel the exhilaration of the ball blasting into the roof of the net, or the numbling disappointment of a ball hit way too hard? Its entirely in your hands(feet =P), and with the event being launched with a freestyling performance by Jun Rui, be sure not to miss this one!





• And for the afternoon, we sure wont disappoint, with a different movie being screened just for your viewing pleasure! Stay tuned!




• Unfortunately, the last day of an energetic, youthful week has to come. Not to worry, for we have got a host of activities lined up for you! This time, get ready to free yourselves from the horrors of the leather belts and shorts of the previous two days, with our "RIdentity" themed mufti day! So as long as either your tops or bottoms fit into our theme of "Green Black White", you're free to wear whatever you want!(just stay dressed)




• As for the recess of Fabulous Friday, get ready to end the week off with a bang! With the last rounds of the Pokemon and Rubiks's Cubes competition being held at the same time, you can be virtually be assured of entertainment for the whole family gang! What else, theres also our annual record-breaking competition being held at the same time, so get ready for hilarious records to be pushed to their very limits!

Also, you can expect some other major event on friday as well, plus for the entire week, be wary of all the cameras that you see! So long guys, this is your highly-excitable, random-bantering host Koon signing out!

Enjoy your week ahead!

First up, LIM JIAN XIONG. Devilously evil overall comm IC... His stalk is as evil as the way he chases people for work. What a stalker..

Next up, NG ZHUO YANG. Spotted here with a picture of him with a lollipop, he is the ever youthful assistant comm IC... The true essence of it all! RIdentity.

Now, MATTHIAS CHIA. Seen ever so commonly with that Rubik's Cube, he is also the assistant comm IC, always cracking his brains thinking hard to make youth week YOUR week.

Then, we have RYAN TAN. The creator of ideas, just like how he is the creator of chances in a basketball game. He packs more punch than you could ever imagine....

Also, we have LEE GUAN LIN. Blazing fast on the track, he is no different with his work. Need we say more???

Lastly, we have WONG JUN SEAN. Just look at that face. Terror in meetings. Tremors in work. He is no doubt our number 1 wanted man...










Yea, under the guidance of Lee Yan Sheng, these are the 6 prefects working together with the students for the Youth Week Org Comm. Do stay tuned to the second part of our org comm introduction, the student organizers!!!! Catch The Youth Week Gang (Part 2) tomorrow...
