Guess where EMRS went
to spend our Valentine’s Day?
The teams started the day by meeting at MacDonald around 10
in the morning. We were split into teams and given some free time to explore
the mall to take a look at how different shops did their opening before the
first mission of the day. The mall is huge and had lots of nice stores such as
Levis, Uniqlo and Cotton On. Changi City Point is different from the other
malls as they had a number of outlets which we can’t find in other malls. Also there
are unique restaurants such as Table Manners where you cannot find in other
shopping malls.
After our adventurous walkabout, we returned to the
gathering point and the OICs gave us our first mission. The mission was to find
the answers to the different sets of questions in the shortest amount of time.
Students were racing all over the place, and the competition was on. However, the
rules weren't specified and all of us went to look for the information counter
to get the answers. When everyone gathered back with their answers, the OICs
check through and announced the winner for the first round! After our morning
activities, everyone was released to go for our lunch break.
The OICs split us
into groups and brief us for the 1st Round~!

After our break, we watched the Lion dance performance at
the atrium. It showed us the importance of teamwork. Without the teamwork
between the two lion dance performers, the lion dance will not be as successful
and exciting. It was really amazing how they were able to jump up from the
ground to the pole and jump around from pole to pole. Also, the lion dancers
managed to throw several mandarin oranges up to the 2nd floor! After
the lion dance performance, we waited for the God of Fortune to come. Once he
arrived, he announced that the first 12 people will get a red packet from him!
Our enthusiastic EMRS peeps went up to queue to get the red packet!! The God of
Fortune then shared with us some information about the different zodiac signs.

After we finished taking our group photos, we were given our
second mission. This was more
challenging as students have to search for the places according to riddles
given and take pictures with the different places as the background. Also, we
were given 20 minutes to complete all the riddles and come back with all the
photos taken. Through this activity, we
were able to learn more about the different stores that Changi City Point has
and the facilities around the mall.

The fun and enjoyable trip not only helped us to understand
more about Changi City Point, but also taught us retail skills and the
operations of the stores. Before we left the mall, the OICs distributed the
prizes accordingly. We were then dismissed after a short debrief given by our
OIC and supervisors.
