Waseda Shibuya Senior High School 26th Seirensai 18.09.2016

Konnichiwa Everyone

I'm back to revive this blog from the shop blog I will be changing this blog to that of a event blog where I will post our experiences and a couple of photos along with this posts.

Alright by me reviving this blog I will be using a recent event that a few of us attended,....... You've guessed it the annual Waseda Shibuya Senior High School Seirensai where the public will be allowed access for a day of fun and games all done by the students studying there.

The day started by us meeting everyone at Clementi Mrt Station as the school itself is located at quite a out of place location smacked in between a bunch of private housing estates also meeting at somewhere centralised allows us to have breakfast before embarking for some fun and enjoyment. Allow me to cut this short let's skip the bus ride. Upon arriving we stepped into the school we were ushered to a few counters where we were told to do some simple registration by writing our names down, not that difficult thereafter we continued straight on passing the school canteen which there was already a queue streaming at 11.30am or so and we were approach by what I am guessing one of their english teachers which recommended to join a english speaking guided school tour which was part of their assesment

What shocked me was that the students who were giving the tour were really professional in answering all of or queries and their english language skills wasn't that bad at all now I understand why some of the students that I know there had such good english speaking skills.

As there were quite abit of people around we just went around looking at the different booths that they have prepared soaking in the atmosphere and thinking about what booths would we like to go around exploring at. It was then this girl came up to us and handed us bingo card's within minutes the central area was filled with people and the mass bingo game started.


 Attached here is one of the pictures I took during the bingo game it was really a interactive game where everyone really go engaged looking at the cards that was on our hands listening for the numbers that were being called out. Playing this also allowed us to have a idea for a new activity in our future chalets or bonding sessions that we have

The early afternoon for us was not really filled with activities, the real bulk of it came in the afternoon where the activities in the school generally started dying down in the afternoon we actually played quite a few games and visited more of the exhibitions that they have like their art sessions/outings, science clubs and also watched a video created by one of the grade 1 classes

The two games that I particularly remembered was this two escape room games that we played one of them was we had play three small games before starting on the game we were briefed and told that we were have to find a certain character in the story after completing the small games to eventually complete the whole game. It was a pity as we almost broke the high score set but we eventually completed the games and was tasked to find Princess Kaguya which was roaming around the school compound.
After roaming around and looking for her high and low we eventually located her at the second floor of the school somewhere close to the stairs that were leading up and down

I eventually took a photo with her after completing the search, I will attach both the photo that was taken below

As it has been a few hours since we last had breakfast and was feeling hungry we went a take a look at the canteen but eventually didn't eat there as we had a muslim friend with us so we went out to a hawker centre near my house to have lunch...

I wasn't present for the second round of bingo at 3pm as I was roaming the school playing games and queing for my second escape game which was another series of three mini games comprising of charades, wrapper finding and cardboard fishing and a final stage of question and answer

The funniest part of the whole day was in this last escape game that we played as there was this jump scare portion by a few girls on the other hand we injected some fun for them by scaring them on the other hand and they indeed screamed boosting sprits of both parties

Unknowingly it was already 4.30pm and the end of the festival nonetheless we all had fun and gathered some ideas till next year Waseda
