++ Orientation Week ++ part 2..

Day 3..


was truly reluctant and having second, third and fourth thoughts whether i should go to the Station Games the seniors have planned for this afternoon.. knowing that it'll probably be the same thing all over again.. with the flour + ink + garlic water...
the day started with us waiting patiently in the Auditorium for 1/2 hour for the Students' Affair Department, SAD staff, whom was supposed to give us a briefing on PTPTN loan.. but no one showed up.. to our disappointment.. until it was time for the second briefing, which was on Insurance from Hong Leong Bank.. a SAD staff finally showed up, saying that they weren't informed of the schedule, and that they'll reschedule the PTPTN loan briefing later.. zzzz...
the day went on, with more briefings, which is getting more and more boring for us.. it's all we've been doing for few days now, sitting through briefings.. we had briefings by the Head of Departments, on Comunity & Heatlth Sciences Professionals, Study Management, and even a session by the seniors, about the Life & Study at IMU..
won't go on with the boring details about the briefings.. so i'll skip all that..
finally, it was time for the Station Games, walked back to Vista C with Rachel and a few of my group members.. still deciding whether or not, should we go..
bumped into out OO.. Ah Beh.. oh no!! and he was like.. "must come later ya.." hahaha.. avoided looking him in the eye.. because i was planning to skip it..
got home.. and sat there.. having last minute thoughts about the Station Games..
then, i gave in.. and went out for the Station Games.. wouldn't want to be blamed if my team loses because we purposely skipped it.. haih.. at the last minute only i 良心发现...
our OOs were like so glad to see us turn up, because only a few turned up at first.. the grand total of members who managed to turn up finally is 8 out of 13.. not bad...
the games was okay.. but we weren't really very energetic.. hahaha.. kinda like our spirits had been dampened.. but we did win at 4 stations and draw at 2 stations.. not bad at all.. considering that we were like.. not really into it..
however.. we did feel a lot happier, because we didn't get any flour on us.. wakaka... why? because we bargained with each of the station masters.. to get double or even triple the garlic water and ink.. but no flour on us!! yeah yeah~~
oh ya.. i forgot to mention, we started out signature hunt too.. which is basically a tradition, where we need to get signatures of seniors from different batches.. and signature of the orientation commitee.. got to do a series of "tasks" that the seniors set for us, to get their "precious" signatures.. which include.. singing, dancing, guess their ID numbers, guess their names and all kinds of stuff.. with the imagination that these people have.. the tasks we have to go through is basically just about anything..
oh ya.. we went to one of our OO's house.. LingWei's house to get the stuff for our costumes for the next day.. stayed there till about 1.00am++ zzzz... so damned exhausted....
Ben really surprised me.. for i thought he was the typical "banana" or "ABC" that probably wouldn't know any chinese.. but he ended up filled with "cold jokes" of chinese.. well.. undeniable.. his pronounciation in chinese is a bit weird and sometimes we can't get what he's saying.. but, i admit it.. his jokes was really....... COLD!!!!!


Day 4..

got up at 6.00am++.. really didn't feel like getting out of the bed.. but our group has a practice at 7.15am... after a long day yesterday.. and a tiring day the day before... my whole body ached with exhaustion.. however did i ever got to school with those freakin' torturing high heels.. i really don't know..
as i have anticipated.. only a few turned up for the practice.. which is.. basically... Ben, Erica, LuanMee, me, Yan, Rachel, YunRhou, XiaoJie...
it's like the other group members don't even exist... but i guess it's their choice.. to skip the orientation..
i wonder if our OOs secretly wished they've gotten another group.. because.. we were all like seriously inactive and lacked the enthusiasm.. other groups were like.. sooo... energetic and their spirits are really great.. our's.. hmm.... we're really linear... and maybe a bit on the dull side?? hahaha... let's just hope our OOs don't regret being our OOs..
we have a MTV night.. today.. and everyone was supposed to dress up based on a given theme.. and danced to a given MTV.. guess what.. my group's theme was... MARVEL SUPERHEROES.. zzzz... i have never even had a glance at those comics before.. that just show how "knowlegdeable" i am in this field... anyway.. we've picked the charactors that we'll have to dress up as.. here's the entire cast:
Ben -- Incredible Hulk
Erica -- Captain America
Yan -- Flash
Rachel-- Batman (Batwoman)
Me -- Wolverine (Wolverina)
LuanMee -- Wonder Woman
XiaoJie -- Superman (Superwoman)
YunRHou -- Spiderman (Spiderwoman)
and we had to dance to the MTV.. which is.. Put Your Head In The Game.. from High School Musical.. imagine that.. superheroes dribbling basketballs and doing all those moves...
we had to practice whenever we could round up the team.. during breaks...
had a whole line up of talks and briefings lined up for us for the entire day.. there was even an English Pilot Test.. which turn out to be.. when not so important anyway..
today was like a Counselling unit day or something.. the counsellor here.. Ms Nicole Chen... gave us briefing after briefing.. and i guess it has been somehow.. informative i guess...
the collection of student ID was also scheduled for today too.. but to my horror!!! i couldn't get mine...
apparently.. i need to hand in a blood report that indicated i'm HepatitisB free.. before i can claim my ID..
omg!!!!! and i distinctly remember the staff telling me through a phone call before, that it can be excluded.. because i told her i just got the immunisation last year... from the Health Ministry... now i'll have to get a blood test to get my ID..
anyway.. the MTV night was quite entertaining.. besides the hilarious performances from us freshies... the seniors also had their share of performing.. dancing, cheerleading, singing... i guess the people here are really multi-talented..
our performance went... haih... let just say it was entertaining-ly hilarious.. because it was disasterious... but i guess we'll live through it..
