stronger as one!

hi guys!!!
gonna conclude this week with a post on how my orientation has been for the past week!
it has been a blast and i swear the people behind everything is so amazing :)
since i can't exactly remember my orientation in chronological order i'll just sum up what i remember about my og + cg orientation!

og orientation (days 2-3)
day 2 was still a bit awkward but we were still fine!
had lunch with most of the e7 girls, and kinda pretty much bonded over mealtimes :)
can't remember what else happened omg my memory is failing me so bad...
i really think i was still in a daze.
day 3 was the day we all truly got closer to each other.
though there was a distinct gender segregation, i guess it's relatively normal in every og out there.
the games we played around school really helped us to bond a lot :)
i remember this very game - the tying the legs together relay race thing.
how the boys would cheer crazily "WELL DONE *CLAP CLAP CLAP*" when every pair crossed the finish line :)
i guess this game was the most vivid as it sparked off the bond in our team :')
we started cheering and laughing at the "WELL DONE" that was chanted at every station.
the game 'who's that?' was also really epic, 'cos the questions we asked were really funny.
i loved how our og then, laughed about everything as one, and really there was just this invincible spirit about us then :)
had our bang bang choo choo train cheer learnt and we did it at the last few stations!
the human knot thing was a.... unique experience i should say...
that's what i remember about my orientation with my og, barely much 'cos interaction was only strengthened at day 3, the final day. :'(
but i hope we guys still say hi in school, keep in touch, and hopefully go out for dinner next week!
can't wait to see you all!
e7, well done ;)


cg orientation (days 4-6 and many more to come)
assigned to 1sr20 '13! :)
at first i was pretty hesitant about trying to make new friends all over again, but again i was lucky, and have got a pl-lite in my class!
so we had house time together and i'm in the yellow house again (aquila!)
YAY FOR THE YELLOW BIRD HAHAHAHA.
aquila's really enthusiastic, and i chose to join the mascot team to help make the clothes of the yellow bird~
did the painting, cutting and folding of boxes to make the feet of the bird!
really love the idea of painting and smudging the wings with orange paint to create a really cool gradient effect ;)
AND ALSO JASMINE'S MY CGL.
SO COOL RIGHT OMG. ^^
learned aquila cheers for the next day as we had inter-house competition!
the aquila spirit was so overwhelming we could almost conquer everyone yay~
had the cca bazaar after school and the noise level was madness i swear.
the odac people were really enthusiastic, same goes for the band!
but i think i'm gonna join guitar and drop the idea of joining student council :P
after that we had some class time to discuss about the picnic the following day.
so we decided on our very first "class outing" to nex ntuc to buy the picnic stuff and have dinner together too!
had so much fun hahaha!
i love how this class is so bonded only on the first day - everyone can just mingle around with one another without feeling awkward, even for both the boys and girls :)
had so much fun choosing the food, laughing at the bread, taking pics and all at nex with my cg :)
awesome~
dinner with mavis, sean, patty and marcus at carl's junior!
had a salad only 'cos i didn't like burgers and fried food hahahah!
nice bonding time with them, hope we have a bigger class dinner soon!!! :)

the next day was really exciting cos we played games at punggol park.
there was this blindfold number game which i really enjoyed 'cos we had to carry out tasks as a class!
maria and i recited tongue twisters together too, and we're pretty good~ ;)
we examined a dead frog on the way also!!!
trying to keep the shuttlecock in the air and hitting it consecutively 10 times was not easy, but with teamwork and optimism, we made it to at least 8 times! :)
so proud of 1sr20~
the sponge game was crazy fun hahaha tossing the sponges around and trying to cheat a little here and there lol!
learnt some new cheers patty and pearlyn taught and i swear, class 20 is amazing :)
the boys bought chicken rice back for our class for lunch! :)
though it was a long wait, i could sleep during that time, and thanks boys for all the hard work!!!
went to buy my uniform then headed back to the hall to prep for interhouse competition!
aquila started first and OMG WE WERE THE BOSSES.
our cheer, dance and mascot were wonderful! :)
enjoyed the dances put up by the other 4 houses, cetus, draco, orion and pegasus too!
i actually felt cetus was going to win 'cos they were so loud, enthusiastic and passionate in everything!
but.................
AQUILA WON!
so happy for the yellow birdssss yay :)
cheer for us guysssss hahahahha.
the heavy rain then deterred us from having our sr picnic at the field :'(
so we had to shift indoors to the concourse to play the games and have the food :)
good class bonding time too yay for class 20!!!
thank you cgls for such a good job well done!
met up with zhi xian, eric and ashikin after that! (my og mates)
wanted to go for dinner but it was too last-minute a plan, so it was called off!
hope we all can have dinner together soon next week? :)

the next day school started at 8.30am 'cos it was exercise time in the morning for the teachers...
i had to go early to find my bag of uniform......
and i found it at where i left it yesterday! :)
WE WELCOMED OUR NEW STUDENTS THAT MORNING; CHARLES AND ANCHI! :)
WELCOME TO 1SR20 GUYSSSS THIS IS AN AMAZING CLASS!
had a jc1 mass talk by the dean, and our timetable is out.
sigh this is crazy school is officially starting next week, after cny.
what gibberish must i have been talking about then when i wanted school to start ugh.
MORE ORIENTATION PLEASEEEEEE
we even collected our econs lecture notes already and we gotta read up before lecture next wed.
crazy crazy.
slacked around outside the LTs playing the piano and talking hahaha!
got chased to the hall and watched the cny performance!
sadly idk why but i didn't feel any cny mood at all....
sucks.
hanged around the gallery after that to lepak awhile and talk to my friends 'cos they were waiting to buy uniforms.
and i'm so dead ok i don't have a collar-pin for wednesday omg...
i hope the security guard's words can be trusted - that they will let me off 'cos they ran out of stock.
so yup after angsty yingxia called i rushed down to school and then we went for lunch at white tang...
dk why but i was so angry and pms-y during lunch ugh.
