HowTo: Perform CIP

I am pretty sure we were all enlightened by the recent CIP outing. I'm going to write my reflections here, L2M style. No joke.

What is CIP

CIP nurtures our students to become socially responsible and develops their sense of belonging and commitment to our country. Through participating in community work, students also learn the value of service and develop lasting friendships with one another.

Service Learning is an approach where CIP participants not only serve the community, but also learn to identify with the needs of the community and to reflect on their own experience in working with the community so that they have a better understanding and appreciation of what it involves.

How to find a CIP

1. Elect two damn suay people
2. Try helping a Milsum orphanage
3. Fail
4. Run around waving hands in panic (*near 360 degrees revolution)
5. Whack Guo 老师 while waving your hands
6. If all turns out well, she will help us find an activity that gives us our hours
7. Since its always beach cleaning, we'll assume that we are going to clean bitches
8. Find a far flung, god-forsaken beach that is nicely segmentated
9. Amongst all the available spots, choose the one that is the least accessible
10. If you are the teacher, wait an hour or two for the students to arrive.
11. If you are a student, more detailed instructions are in the section titled, "How to reach that place"

How to reach that place
(yes, that place... ah yes... harder... ALL THE WAY DOWN THERE!!! No, don't stop, ah yes, ah YES!)

1. Take an MRT
2. Take a bus
3. Take instructions from an overly helpful bus driver uncle
4. Take a step forward with your dominant leg
5. Take another step forward with other leg
6. Repeat steps 4~5 ad infinitum, occasionally interupting with step 7 (optional)
7. Call Guo 老师 and claim that you have reached Palau Ubin


How to clean up a beach real good... real good

1. Get a glove
2. Get a plastic baggy
3. Get hyped
4. Get going
5. Get started by picking up small pieces of rubbish
6. Alternatively, wait for the tide to go down, rush down to grab a piece of rubbish and run like Yan Ran is going to impale you before the waves wet you
7. Alternatively, pick up a large stick, decide to use it a ghetto stencil instead of dumping it like a good boy/girl
8. Alternatively, build gignormous sand castles (make it LONG and thin and call it "Rasputin")
9. Alternatively, dig in the ground to discover large slabs of concrete
10. Alternatively, stand by as the people dig out the concrete slabs just in case they uncover a coffin/treasure chest/penis extension
11. Alternatively, laugh at Tiening's new hairstyle

How to skate properly

Skating is a crucial part of the activities carried out after CIP, therefore it shall be covered in this report.

1. Rent skates for an exorbitant despite recent financial situtations (May not apply to all as some of us are really blardy rich)
2. Have someone open the door blocking a path leading uphill
3. Skate up the path
4. Receive a phone call from someone
5. Skates down the path
6. Have the door close
7. Listen to your "哥" shout "OI!"
8. Stare into his beautiful eyes
9. Yes, don't stop
10. More...more...
11. Wonder at how his gaze is so intense
12. Break the gaze before you get too high, you probably didn't bring a change of pants
13. Look in front
14. OH NOES! T3H doar iz r1gHt iN fR0nT!
15. Hold out both of your hands
16. Grab the bars
17. Crash face first into the bars
18. Yelp
19. Hold back your tears, you are in public you know
20. Claim that you aren't bleeding in the mouth
21. Claim that you have a headache
22. Laugh
23. Continue and repeat until unable to carry out anymore
