Upset girls burst into tears when university orientation games get too close for comfort.
PICTURE this: Girl lies on her back on the ground and boy leans in on her. Boy gazes at girl, mere centimetres separating them.
The action takes place openly in a school.
A case of students making out? Not quite.
The pair didn’t know each other beforehand. They were “secret partners” – strangers matched up in the name of university orientation.
The aim? To promote bonding, said those who attended the Singapore Institute of Management-University of London’s (SIM-UOL) orientation last month.
About 400 students took part in such close encounters.
Other activities included eating a biscuit from opposite ends and hugging the opposite sex.
Chinese daily Lianhe Wanbao said some girls were so affected that they burst into tears later.
A male student who took part in the three-day-two-night event told Wanbao about a female peer who sobbed after the event: “I heard she has a boyfriend. Such intimate contact made her feel like she was cheating on him and she broke down.”
He said the lying-down game was especially traumatic for some: “Imagine the girl and guy facing each other. If the guy’s hand slipped or he wanted to take advantage of the girl, he would be mouth-to-mouth and chest-to-chest with her.”
Out of 100 people polled by The New Paper yesterday, three in four were aghast when they saw a picture of a couple “in action”. They said such steamy games were not okay.
