The guests also play a game inspired by Chap Goh Mei, which required all female participants to write their phone numbers on oranges. The oranges were then collected and placed into a “pool” filled with water. Three lucky male participants were selected and were called on stage to get one orange each. Next, participants were required to call the phone number written on the orange. The lucky females were invited to the stage to play a mini game with the male counterparts. 

This event was organised by FMHS Year Four Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) students.
