~ 2:42 PM ~

This entry has been subjected to outdatedness due to its fate of being kept as a draft for too long. Sorry for keeping active readers watiting =D

It's more than a week into the new year, which also means a new start in a new school. After four days of orientation at VJC, i'm sure all victorians agree that VJC is a hyper school. If there's only one thing that victorians know how to do, then it would be to do an after cheer.. for girls to scream like mad and for guys to roar like lions.

And after orientation, now it's time to do a reality check and see that HEY it's time for lessons~ Since when have lessons ever been fun? Moreover without the company of fellow andersonians. I guess it's seriously time to learn to leave the comfort zone.

So day one was still a warm up session, as we see clusters of people from different schools congregate together. The cedar girls, the catholic high boys.. the vs boys and also the andersonians..

I guess i shalln't talk about the orientation programme unless absolutely necessary such that i would die without mentioning it.. since it is much outdated.

The most significant thing that doesn't escape my mind of the 1st day is that of the principal's speech. His catch phrase is " I'll make my talk short, sweet and sharp" But it seriously deviates so much that his talk took an hour. -.-

Cheering is the best part of day 1 as it beats icebreaking and it requires not much energy except that it makes the voice crack. Self introduction is dumb really, and i really don like speaking of myself, interest, cca, etc. Playing whacko is worst, not only does it not help in remembering of names in any way ( as people usually only remember 1 name and keep calling the same name and forgets the rest ), it is rather a waste of time. Socialising by playing polar bear is much more fun i believe, as the names would come automatically through the course of orientation.

As the members of thaddeus.the got to know one another better, everyone became more sociable and broke the glass of silence. I thought that our ogls were quite good, for they were really spontaneous and friendly.. credits to liesel, dennis, james and felicia.. though thaddeus din't win the treasure box finally, it was a fun group to belong in.

As i said, cheering was the forte of victorians during the orientation. It was like a stampede with victorians screaming and pounding their feets, such description may make us look like wild boars but seriously it made fellow victorians feel their hearts burn with the sense of belonging. Maybe i shouldn't speak for the rest, but at least i did. Those in consensus may leave a note behind on the board.

YO VJC~

On day 2, once again we were greeted by the principal who just loved to give short and sweet speeches. During the introduction of staff, the curtains decided to close on him and his response was really funny.. though i don't quite remember wad he said, but the incident left an impression on me.

There were some OG games which we played that were quite interesting.. dennis being game master of many games was always on our side, which was good for course. lolx. I remember pairing with shikang for cinderella, and apparently all our so called "codes" were forgotten when the game started. As the name goes, the male party is supposed to find the girl's shoes among the pile of shoes and put them on for her. Well, my shoe wasn't in the pile so it was easy to find.
lolx. we sure know how to play foul. -.- But anyway it was just a game and it was quite a mess so much so that nobody was certain of who won in the end.

Then there was this soccer game which was something like that of the soccer playing machine where players turn the handles such that the miniature soccer players in the machine will kick the soccer ball. But this time, we were the soccer players ourselves and being arm locked to each other made team spirit necessary. GM was jiawei. It's interesting to see who the noobs and who the pros are. Apparently my ogl assumes that all guys play soccer thus putting them all down to play, but i had beg to differ. lolx.

There's this other soccer game which requires some players to sit on 2 parallel benches with players from opposing teams sitting alternately with one another. Apparently this game was against opheous.oracle and a member of the group happily stepped on my foot all the while through out the game. -.- thanks a lot. Note that it's a she who was the exact same person who got her retribution when she got hit in the face by the soccer ball -.- guess wad she scolded, the **** which she had no intention of holding back..

I wouldn't forget the game where the girls got a hair wash by the guys as they collected foam from our hairs -.- How nice it is to sit there getting someone to wash your hair. It was indefinately gross to find soap trickling down your face. So, we girls should not trust those guys with our hair, thus it is better to scrub it ourselves. This is another game where we who nobly sacrificed our hair found no conclusion in the results as we rushed off to the taps to cleanse our hair.

Though there were games where members had to sacrifice themselves by getting wet, or getting whacked in the face by balls, it is all these that added to the fun in the orientation.

On day 3 we got to know our class and civic tutor. It was quite a boring day with briefings and socialising sessions with our classes again. Then it was all the cheering, dancing and gaming.

On day 4 we had sea regatta games.. It was probably the highlight of the orientation i suppose.
It was fun, cause getting wet is fun. People usually go crazy and do dementing stuff when they get wet, like dumping you with sand and dunking you in the sea. Catch wy's blog for the dunking part. He is so pleased to have successfully pushed me into the sea that i've got nothing to say.
It was just a fun filled day with the sea, sand and lots of salt really. Not that a salt monster donated the salt into the sea water, but it was really salty. When i first got pulled into the sea by liesel for god noes why, i tasted the water and it was so awfully tasty 0.0

And the most terrible experience was being dunked by brandan and his guy friends whom i din't even know. He claimed that he felt like dunking me for god knows wad reason again, thus i got dunked. Not that i could escape or anything since the guys are like so much stronger, and some so-called-good-friend of mine decided to stand by and watch me get dunked, which cause me to take 2 gulps of sea water.. -.- yucks. I thought i must have retained a lot of salt in my body that day. zzz..

Then that night we had our mass dance at suntec. We were dismissed at noon and we spent our time loitering at suntec and playing truth or dare after having lunch at taipan. I miss sushi now.. -.- It takes a lot of courage to accept their dares as cheeky people like them just love to see people doing dumb stuff. Luckily i got the wheel only twice which was quite little compared to some people like edwin who had to do stupid things like at least 3-4 times. Guys usually had to appear man and daring, thus taking up stupid dares. I din't realise truth or dare can be that fun really.. until that day. lol.. They made me bite a ogl's hair which was considered easy compared to some dares that the rest got, which was like doing stupid stuff in front of strangers or in the public. Poor Gwyneth had to kiss Shikang whom she claim was the best guy out of the rest who were sitted there.. and Siyuan had to run her hand over a guy's leg w/o his knowledge.. These were just some of the many stupid stuff we did to pass time. -.- Though it was stupid, stupid things can be quite fun too . lol. And then we had our mass dance at the fountain of wealth. The Andersonians found one another and we all hung out together until the whole event ended. It was a nice experience, at least something special that we wouldn't have gotten to do in secondary school.

That shall be all for now..

Hi everyone. I should say you must be scrutinizing every part of my blog to be reading this arent you? Well, if you're that bored or interested in me, this is me you're looking at. Just a typical mundane human being living in this distorted world filled with what we call friends and foes. It's just me to get all maudlin and touchy about friendships and covalent bonds that i painstakingly built, and it's most dreading to realise what you call friends are actually fair-weathered ones and ditch you for others. You know.. that sort of ambivalent feelings which arises with such friendships. From young, my pedagogues have complained of me being temperamental and from there i have learnt and seen the world beyond me, where there happened to be people fairing far worst than i do. I realised in this period of isolation that life turns out to be happier for everyone if people knew how to be sate with life. It's just in the genes that human beings have to take things for granted and learn to appreciate things only when they have lost it. Sad isn't it?. I admit possessing that characteristic, which led me to losing what i should have treasured most, with great regrets. Now, like Krishna, we are inclined to seeking comfort from things that we are familiar with, unaccustomed to changes. It may not appear to be me on the outside, braving the winds of the outside world, strong and unbeatable. Like the saying goes, never judge the book by its cover, and i believe in that, in the way i credit people. We all treasure private space don't we?.. It's just human nature. And of course it most dreading to feel deserted by your friends isn't it.. ? To feel cheated and betrayed.. Well, live a sate life readers!
