The Human Instrumentality Project

Wednesday, July 06, 2005

Gen-Acts camp was really great fun! The group was a fine mix of seniors and juniors, guys and gals, quiet people and enthusiastic people. The events were interesting, wanting to test not just physical prowess, but mental prowess as well.

I most remember the Trade Wars on the first night. We were supposed to run around the chalet area trading goods with ports and other ships. Our group made a major gamble, borrowing 20K right at the start to supplement our original 10K and spending it all on Petroleum, whose price we predicted will make a huge jump. But luck conspired to sink us, we hit pirates and lost half our petroleum, then the price of petroleum only rose slightly (it was the price of crude oil, the raw material, which fell). We ended up with 8 points from that activity, while other groups averaged 800. So we were way way behind the rest after that first day.

But we were not discouraged, and the talk on the second day was all about 咸鱼翻身. We played our hearts out during the beach games and came in second for that event. Then we came up with an excellent business proposal in 2 hours and came in 3rd for that, raising our overall position to 4th. 咸鱼翻身了!!

All the points we earned were used to bid for location and permits for the charity sale this coming Sunday (10th July). My group will be selling candy at Jurong East Central, outside JEC, on that day. Please come and support us!
