Cluster Bonding

‘Prepare to RUMBLE CCPEs!’ I told myself when I first saw them waiting by the reception area at Laser Quest. All were anticipating, excited, high-spirited and READY TO FIGHT. I could imagine that they were well-geared up with enthusiasm ready to put their life on the fence to battle with their enemies.

Before entering into the ‘battle field’ one needs to know who the foes and friends are. We sat around in a circle to know one another; this is to recognize who are your team members and your opponents. From there, we were grouped into different teams: Team Transformers (South 2), Team Dragon Ball (South 5), and Team Street Fighters (South 7). The first teams to battle were Transformers and Street Fighters. Everyone was up and prepared to hunt those enemies down.

All of us were overly thrilled once we wore the vest. Have you felt the power to fight against your opponent in a battle field? I have, once I entered the battle ground; we separated our ways and hid behind walls while we held the gun close to our chest.


We have a role to play which is safe (save) yourself or eye for an eye. The opponents took their positions somewhere on the battle ground. When the lights were out, intense music gets your heart pounding and energized for your mission. The excitement builds to the point where each of us is immersed in this alternative reality. Once you are in that ten minutes game, nothing matters but seeking out your opponents; everyone is fair in a game.

Looking back again, how we as a team prevailed in working to support one another and be there when they are in deed (need) of help. Trusting oneself is priceless, once it is broken you can never look back to mend it again. The battle went on non-stop action among the rest of them. We kept on displaying our craziness with other teams. We kept on building our confidence level, strategizing and using all our might in battling one another.

Have you tried battling and bullying(,) your own Assistant Zone Manager *look(s) at Boon Chuan*? Well, all of us did. As in life, when is the great time to know and experience the fun side of your asst (Assistant) Zone Manager?

It was a joy to see all of us, letting our hair down for just three good hours to know one another. It is like a one time experience where you can see your fellow mates and have a battle against them. It is like another way of boosting our personal skills which could be applied in our school like trusting and believing in yourself when you are tasked to do your work. Every work of yours will be paid off in a way or another.

I would like to say thank you to Faezah who suggested this activity, Boon Chuan who supported the idea, and Masnor, Affizah, Yasodha and Vanitha for organizing this gathering and also to all S2, S5, and S7 CCPEs who turned up. It is an honour to have a battle (positive campaign) with you guys (people).
