Hi everyone! these few days in hci have been so hectic for me lar. in the mornings my dad sends me to sch where there are massive jams everywhere. im really appreciating how close bp was to me during the past 4 yrs. it takes like 1 hr plus for me to get home so i usually reach home at 7 plus near 8pm. then after some packing i feel sleepy already. now i know the cons of having an early bedtime. blehh.
i had a lot of fun during these 3 days of orientation=) but the mornings are always the most boring part 'cause we have to sit in the auditorium listening to speeches after speeches about their programmes and subjects which are quite non-relevant to me. so us girls- chongwee, ruyi and me usually end up drifting off to sleep haha. yest's talks continued all the way to 2pm before we could go dance and play games. thank goodness there won't be talks on mon le=)
omg i just saw myself on this photoblog. come spot me in the 2nd one!


okay for the fun part. we were divided into 42 ogs, im in og18. on the 1st day of orientation we played the standard icebreakers- wacko and passing ard pokey sticks with our mouth! aiyo. i rmb once when the stick came along it was super short lar. plus it was a guy lor. i felt like i was going to kiss him when i got the stick over. the girl next to me didn't want to get the stick since it was so super short le. so i ate it and i had to do a forfeit! it was to hit the next ogl with the wacko stick on the butt and say 'og18 rocks!' haha. so i picked up the stick and tried to walk very bravely towards the ogl who looked a little intimidating and was doing cheers. i waited for her to finish and whacked her and said og18 rocks. omg. she looked at me and said '...okay...' ahh! super embarrassing. then we learnt 3 mass dances! they were quite simple ah, but it feels great when everybody's dancing tgt. but as u can see, the hall is quite cramped. so for ppl like us standing at the back we are often crushed when ppl in front move back. the couple dances are even more fun. finally we get to dance with a guy! haha. shortage of guys in bp dance. and everyone's doing it just so seriously, learning and laughing when we get it wrong. after the dance session we had sang college songs. they're all in chinese so it feels exceptionally familiar. and the tune v nice too! i like our songs. the 1st day ended at 5pm so we got to go home early.
2nd day we sat through the talks and had dance and song sessions again. learnt the school song which was super hard to sing. high and low notes everywhere. mostly the chinese high boys sang 'cause we couldn't get the tune. then came the games! there was this carrot tied to a belt which u had to put on and try to swing the carrot to hit a orange on the ground. i think i tied the carrot a bit low so it was kinda difficult to swing it forward. and i lost. haha. its kinda funny to see two guys with their carrots entangled tgt too! just imagine the sight. then there was this station where we had to pass a sweet covered in flour with our mouth and spit it into the next person's hand and so on. got our faces all in flour and sometimes when the sweet gets passed down it's all wet can. super gross. but our og worked very well tgt and the sweets were passed down at like lightning speed. haha. of course we won and we cheered v loudly. and when we cheer we can feel the bond forming between us=) the next station was to pass water using plastic cups and our mouths only to fill up a bucket. ended up all wet 'cause the gamemaster kept throwing water on us. and qinpei was the gamemaster. of course i got splashed a lot haha. the game was called hit-and-run, and we were asked to explain why. so the guys thought of splashing the gamemasters with water and run away. haha. they have funny ideas. then it evolved into a splashing game and everyone got wet. just nice it rained soon after and we gathered back in the hall where we were dismissed.
3rd day! if i were to update once every week my posts will be super long. haha. anyway more dance and songs and cheers before we could go play games. the whole atmosphere was super high when we finished cheering=) our 1st game was balloons. we had to tie them to our arms and legs and try to protect our balloons while we burst the other og's balloons. and we strategized a bit, so we tied the balloons to our hands only and blew them super small so it'll be difficult to burst. our og is really very scheming can=) of course with such brilliant strategy we won. then we moved on to the next one which is to pass water bombs with garbage bags and at the end one batter must hit the water bomb and break it. im glad to announce that im the one to break the first water bomb!=) our entire og cheered! it feels just great lar. of course everybody worked hard and we broke 4 bombs in total. but we still lost by one bomb so we had to do a forfeit. the previous grp's forfeit was that the guys do push-ups on top of the girls! omg. but i heard it was banned soon after. anyway they made us roll across the wet and rough floor and when i got up, dirty water was streaming down my legs lar. super super gross. next was some black widow thingy where we had to jump about on grids on the floor to avoid being in the same row and column as the 'black widow'. i managed to make it till the last few, but they decided to make the area smaller so i got 'killed' soon and our og ppl got 'killed' too. so the other og won. the other game was to get into grps of 1, 2 ,3, 4 ,5 and do some actions. there was once 2 of our og ppl paired with 2 from the other og, but there were pushed away by the girls from the other og so they got out. super stupid can. i can sense some intense rivalry there worh. the other grp won this game too but they made the winners do the forfeit! haha. so they shook their butts on the 2nd floor while we looked from below.
woohoo. i realised i just wrote a whole long paragraph on all my games. bear with me ah, one more game to go=) the aim of the game was basically to win scissors-paper-stone while trying to get through some benches covered in soap. the other og's girls were very...woah. they charged at us like a bull charging at a red flag. thats an apt description. i won once, but ended up with blue-blacks on my legs. blehh. i think our team won and we made the guys roll across the soap-covered floor. we spared the girls know. haha. finally the day came to an end but we had an og outing later. so we waited for everyone to clean up before we made our way to mac.
since there were like abt 20 of us we moved the tables ard like some major renovation. haha. after eating and our ogl finally came, we sang him happy birthday! though its somewhere in sept i think=) he looked very cute as we sang to him. someone bought him a cake somemore and we made him wish and blow out the candles. haha. super fun. then we started to play card games like heart attack and jackass? but apparently we weren't allowed to play poker cards in mac so we switched to murderer instead. had some fun squeezing all the way 'cause i wasn't too sure how i shld play the game. soon i had to go home 'cause it was already 9 plus and i didn't wanna get home too late. i think we'll have another og outing sometime so we'll be able to meet again=)
OG18 ROCKS!
