ThinkCon 2013

by Amanda Lee Yue Ping, Junior 1 Cempaka, Class of 2014

Cempaka's annual ThinkCon event came to a spectacular end this evening, thus bringing a close to the number of points being tallied for the First House Cup. Cempakans swarmed the concourse area of Bangsar Village I from 10.30am to 7.00pm, in anticipation of exercising their brains after the long Raya break.

Minds were challenged and strenuous decisions were made. Cempakans fought long and hard, pitting their strategies and tactics in a battle of wits to best their opponent. You'd think the large crowd was gathering for a football match, or maybe even a debate competition. Though in fact, it was all in the name of a few board games. Not just any mere board game however. Like its name suggests, ThinkCon consisted of board games specifically designed to put your thinking skills to the test and challenge your mind.
