First day, 15/4/13:
It started off pretty boring and awkward, because i didn't know a single soul in the same lecture theatre as me. It was boring cos the course manager was giving a little powerpoint presentation to introduce TP, like all the important people we should know and stuff. Honestly i was trying to stay awake (i'm sorry i can't really stay awake in such talks HAHA) throughout and i was so glad when it was over hahahah. Anyway, i made friends with two girls , Javier and Abigail. Initially i talked to Javier cos she came in w me, but then she found Abigail who was her secondary school friend so yeah naturally they talked tgt more while i sat beside them haha. Wasn't too bad la i'm not blaming them for not talking to me or whatever HAHA.
Then VeT (Veterinary Technology in short) was split into two classes: K1 and K2. I, together with Javier and Abigail, were in K1 so yay :D Then we were brought to another LT where more classes were tgt and we were a big...group called OZZOCI (oh-zo-chee) which is actually a monkey hahahah. The other groups had eagle, snake, deer...idk if i missed out any haha. Idk their group name though.
So basically after that we played ice breaker games, learnt cheers blah blah. Wasn't thaaaat fun for the first day.
Second day, 16/4/13:
Actually it's more of second evening, not second day. Cos we started at 6.30pm. Why so late, you ask? Because the second day's program was throughout the night. Yes, THROUGHOUT. No sleep at all.
So we had a mass dance which was unexpectedly pretty enjoyable. Idk why but i just kept laughing non-stop (maybe because Selene near me kept laughing as well and her laugh is pretty contagious) while dancing LOL. The dance was pretty cute and fun, but they made us dance with guy partners. I mean, it's okay if you've got a fun partner la anyw there's bound to be one day where you have to have more contact w guys righttt. Anyw, my first partner was so quiet i didn't even get to ask what his name was. Maybe i should have taken the initiative la hahaha. My second partner was an ultra tall guy who was more open, but we didn't really talk as well, we just laughed at each other LOL. But he was SO TALL that when we did the spinning part, i was TIP-TOEING while spinning HAHA. My third partner was Shara so it wasn't that bad la hahahah. She and i kept laughing as well. By the end of the dance i was all flushed and perspiring like hell. Never knew a simple dance could make us sweat so much oh gosh hahah.
After the dance it was our night Amazing Race! Well it wasn't really a race, just more of going station to station and doing tasks. Most stations weren't that bad...except for our second last one.
Basically, it was a 1-on-1 scissors-paper-stone battle between another class. There are 6 rounds, and each round has: bittergourd, lemon syrup, milo powder, coffee powder, sugar, and salt respectively. So, the winner of the scissors-paper-stone will roll a dice to determine the number of spoonfuls the loser has to eat. So let's say if you lose the first round and the winner rolls a 3, you have to eat 3 spoonfuls of bittergourd. And you can't swallow it, you'll have to keep it in your mouth. So you'll just continue accordingly while accumulating whatever you have to eat, till the last round (after salt). At the end, you're supposed to add a little water into your mouth to liquify it, then spit out everything into a 1.5litre bottle. EVERYONE HAS TO DO THAT. So you can imagine what a disgusting mess it is in the bottle (and outside the bottle, cos it's not easy to spit bittergourd chunks and powder lumps into the small bottle neck). The class that fills the bottle first wins. GROSS ISN'T IT. That isn't the end.
Eventually, our class lost. The winner group, surprisingly, had to drink a little concoction, i have no idea why though. So they shared a cup of milo + coffee + a little of their final spat-out mixture . Well the losers would definitely get a worse punishment, right? YES. We had to drink a mixture of both bottles' mixtures. So that's like, bitttergourd, lemon syrup, milo powder, coffee powder, sugar, salt, and approx, 20 people's saliva in that concoction.
Surprisingly, it wasn't thaaaat bad to me, i could at least swallow it LOL. SURPRISINGLY. Because the thought of drinking it alr made me feel like puking LOL. But i bravely drank it hahahaha. Alot of my friends couldn't take it, so i had to drink more so they didn't need to drink so much. Selene, Cheryl Lim and i were the only ones who could swallow it i think. I only tasted mainly lemon syrup, which wasn't that bad to me HAHAHAH.
After Amazing Race it was alr the end, so we just got changed (we got drenched in one of the stations) then we went home. By then it was alr 7am+, so i got home around 8am and i went to bed around 9am hahhah.
So yeah that's the end, we're left with two more orientation days before school officially starts ): Dreading it like seriously oh gosh.
