i thought maybe i should do an entry on my orientation. i'm very happy to have met a lot of friends, and the experience has been really great :)
day one-
i met up with josh at tampines bus interchange for brunch, before heading down to tp. i had burger king, and josh had nothing. when we reached there, a bunch of people in blue told us to go upstairs, and then later a bunch of people in red told us to go downstairs. (later we realised that the people in blue were the program, and the people in red were our GLs) We registered ourselves, and realised we were in the same empire- neon! coolness :) we were in different sub empires though. i was in nepo (say it really quick, it sounds like nipple) and he was in nepy (pronouced nippy).
we were introduced to our two mcs, kai (shim shim shim shim! i'll explain later) and sahari. they're two jokers. kai was dressed in a piar of weird looking pants and super high socks. then we were released in our various empires to play icebreakers. got to know a lot of fun people. after the icebreakers, we went to learn the school mass dance. i think it's stupid, really. it can be fun, if you're high enough, but it's spastic. after that we went to tampines central to play station games... nepo won all :) yaaaay for nepo! came back, debriefed, showered, slept. i didn't manage to sleep, and the person beside me didn't either, so we both went for a walk around the school and talked. i know her as may, but her name's some chinese one... yeah. slept around 4:30, and woke up around 5:30 thanks so some spastic's girls alarm clock (our reporting time was 7:30).
day two-
after i washed up and packed my stuff and everything, i had alot of free time (no thanks to those stupid alarm clocks). so i just stood outside the boys sleeping quarters for a good period of time watching the joshums sleep :) he woke up, eventually, and we had a bit of private time together before morning PT. morning PT was just pure crap lah. just some head, shoulder, ankle rotations, and some superman, batman, spiderman and ultraman shite. just to get us sweating in the sun for no reason. then we played more station games, and cos of wet weather, wet games were postponed to the next day. we learned the school's song (how cool is that? we're the only poly with a school song!) after which was the manhunt... where the winner was determined not by looks, brawns, charisma, or anything normal in a manhunt. then it was free time for us to prepare for performance night. i'll take some time to list down those people i recognise here... guess what everyone? OCP was in neon and i didn't even know that! and then leonard was there too.. i was so suprised when i saw him.
when performance night started out... kai was dressed as a girl! (explains the shim shim shim shim shim!) he was a very pretty girl. neon basically just danced to the song hey mickey, and i managed to get josh grooving a bit (though it may be just a little wierd to have "josh" and "groove" in the same sentence). yay me! and then we had a shim hunt! wow... timothy a.k.a tracy from another team won... he was extremely sexy... it was funny! :) then jam and hop started.. basically a disco night full of dancing... utterly not me... and i think i was starting to fall sick anyway, so i went outside with josh for a while.. and then i fell asleep on his lap. he say watch me sleep very fun. i think he's crazy to sit there and do nothing for two hours. he said i was whimpering in my sleep... which was because i was dreaming that i was being attacked by insects (you have no idea how many cockroaches that place had!) and it was actually josh that was tickling me. bugger. :P
day three-
basically the day started with a dancing competition, nothing too big. then it was full of wet games, had a finally showdown which we lost qutie pathetically :(. in the end we lost the total score just by two points. but it's alright, we had a lot of fun. all the prize presentations, take photos, etc then went home. i don't have too much to say, just that I DID NOT GET ATTACKED BY FLOUR! I WAS THE CLEAAANEST! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! :D my powers are great.
my favourite GL has got to be Jodin (i started calling him teddy bear, cos he's cuddly and cute). he seems like a mature guy, and really, i think that he has made a difference to my experience in this camp. it wouldn't be the same without him :)
of course, when i came back, i fell terribly ill. fever of 39.8 degrees, cough, sore throat, runny nose, flu, whatever. i must say i'm feeling much better now, and hopefully i can make it for the deisgn orientation (though my doctor says i better not go).
