Hello! I'm FINALLY up from my long sleep. Which started right after dinner. And poor eunice was awake, all alone in my room.

Okay, due to POPULAR demand (yes weeds! you're popular!), I shall blog about my orientation. Brace yourselves, for some peole think I'M WORDY.

DAY ONE
Came to school (and I was almost late) and met gabby and eunice yeo. Checked for familiar names in my IG. And at least Charmaine was with me! Went to the audi and split up into our different IGs. Assembly, and then the J2s showed us the mass dance. Hip hop + Bangra. Then off we went to the quadrangle for icebreakers. round robin introduction + what's your favourite power ranger, i swear I was damn lost! Except for the ij people. Tania from STC, SHERMAINE from STC, and CHARMAINE from ijtp :) That was pretty much all I could remember at that point in time. Anyway, practically almost ALL the girls said pink ranger was their favourite lah. (and I was secretly thinking, shit. bimbo, ah lian, bimbo, ah lian.) Unfortunately, I don't like power rangers, and so that was what I said. Err then it was the current game. which is basically just passing the current by saying another person's name. played a few rounds, switched places and all. Then whacko! Errr, then it was the kiap kiap game thing. hahaha. like you stick out your left palm and you place your right fingers over the left palm of the person next to you. And then there will be this magic word. and a story. Everytime the magic word is being said you must kiap the person's fingers with your left palm and your right fingers must lift up and escape at the same time. THAT game, you know right. okay, of course you do. I'm wordy and my explanation damn good one okays. Then played the YO game. one person stands in the middle, and then shouts a number, starting from someone. Let's say three. Then that someone must jump up and say YO, together with two other people to the left of her. So basically three people are jumping up and saying YO! Err can't really remember other games, but basically that's the gist of it. Different, different forfeits. Most popular one being the Kaching, kaching one. Three actions, and the forfeiters basically have to do the same action with no discussion. (and as most people know, I've told you all the story about the nerd. So I SHALL SAVE SPACE, and not say it here) 3 actions: rock star (some e. guitar action), ballet dancer (hands above your head and twirl around), and the all-time favourite PORN STARRRRRRR (swing your hips and hands) another one where sondra made the forfeiters say, "zhi qiang (or whatever his name is), you suck!" hahaha. Then another one where this guy had to ask a girl from another group what her name was and whether she was attached. And another one, where this guy from another group came to ask yi xuan (who was also doing forfeit) for her number SINCERELY. Okay, I think I should stop here. Anyway, then it was break time. Just bought GREEN TEA. :) Then boring principal's talk + some subjects talk (econs, comp, bio, cse) sit until my butt pain. Can't really remember the sequence order for the next line up of activities, but basically we leart part of the mass dance, had a lunch break (ate wanton mee which was NOT BAD at all) and had more games! like the squirrel and tree game, some blob game, which is basically catching with a twist. I got forfeited for squirrel + tree! And it's like A LOT of people! And they made us do kaching, kaching! Impossible lah! I kept doing rockstar! Hahhaha. most non-embarrassing. A lot of people also. haha, then the game master was like, "how come you all want to be rock star? No good lah, rock star then never study" Can't remember the others, but I know we didn't play captain's ball! Anyway, that was basically it. Boring right, I know. So I can't be bothered blogging about it.

DAY TWO
Wet games! Anyway, started with assembly with out IGs as usual. Then we went to register our subject combi first. PCME! Then games! Err frankly, I can only remember the games we won. Hahah. There was the Body Parts game. Like 3 IGs per team. And then each IG has a bucket filled with water at the starting point. And a sponge ball. Then the game masters will pick out two chips from another bucket and call out the body part written on it. And mind you, this is a GUY and GIRL pair (absolutely compulsory rules). Let's say they pick out back and elbow, (which was what I got), then the pair has to take the spongeball, and using only the back and elbow, carry it all the way to the end point (which has another bucket) and squeeze out the water from the spongeball, still using the back and elbow. So basically I was the back and the guy was the elbow lah. And we had to re-do! because my guy partner used his hands to squeeze the ball. Yeah, and if the game masters pick out a question mark (which they did), they get to choose the body part. And once, there were two question marks (I TELL YOU, THEY CHEAT ONE LORH. sometimes they take out, then they don't like, then they put back when they think no one's looking! and there are probably A LOT of question marks inside) and they made the pairs do MOUTH TO MOUTH please. Then it looked damn sick when they were squeezing out the water, because their mouths would be damn close. Yeah, then got mouth/head to butt, mouth to stomach (which looked ultra-ly gross too) and so on and so forth! Yeah then the 3 IGs would squeeze the water out into the same bucket. So it's basically 3 IGs against another three IGs. Red Bucket (us) against Green Bucket. The one with the most water at the end of it all wins! And we won! Even though this girl spilt the water from the bucket once. Okay, enough about this game. Damn long alr. Err, then it was Flex your Finger. IG is split into two, everyone must place their finger on a hoop using only the top portion, and no hooking etc, transport two hoops over an obstacle course. Which was climb over a chair, go under the vball net, bring down the hoop over a facil's body until our wrists touch the floor and bring it up over the facil again. And our fingers must remain on the hoop at all times. So we divided into girls and guys to do one hoop each. Guys started first, but had to redo. Then girls went over successfully. Then guys, then we won! Yay IG 13! :) And it was from here onwards we started being enthu! Then it was some drawing game. Every team member must take turns to complete this set of stuff to do. First, the typical run around a stick 10 times, change direction after 5. Then run to a bucket, use a cup to scoop water, then run all the way to the end where a facil will show a picture for 3 seconds. (everyone same picture) Then run back and splash the water on the next person. Then after that sit down and start drawing what you can remember. Then continue, then the most detailed drawing among all the IGs participating will win! Yeah, so we played, until the last person. This is where it started to get damn interesting. We asked our last person to splash water on the facil showing us the picture after he was done. Damn funny lah! The facil totally wasn't expecting it. Then after that we all started running away because he took the ENTIRE bucket (which was just refilled) and came after all of us! Hahaha, okay not funny when I say it now. Anyway, announcing of results and we won! Because we managed to spot that the car on the tree had tree wheels, even though out grass was everywhere. YAY! :) Then I think it was the treasure hunt. Go around the school to answer questions and all. Guys and girls split up. In the end, we had 5 wrong! HAHA. Okay nevermind, then it was the beans game. IG is divided into pairs. Then we tie our hands to our partners and then we run to the bucket at the end. Dip our hands into this gross mixture and find 5 beans each. You know the IJ coffee mixture thing during sec 1 orientation? That, plus worse stuff. Like it's coffee, egg shells, spaghetti, udon, sausage, soya sauce etc etc. Yeah, then the facil will ask us a Current Affairs question (which is totally not current affairs, more like general knowledge lah) and if we get it right, we get to bring the beans back. wrong, then we put the beans back. My question was, which is not a spanish football team? And as you all know, I don't watch soccer. So yeah. Anyway, the choices were Liverpool, Real Madrid and Valentia (I think) Then I was thinking Liverpool right, because it's an English team. But you know, I very no confidence right. So I just let my partner answer. Then I think she thought the question was which is A SPANISH football team. So she said real madrid, then obviously wrong lah. Then got another question was, which celebrity has an eating disorder? Britney Spears, Nicole Ritchie, Nicole Kidman. LIKE DUH RIGHT, NICOLE RITCHIE. AND THIS IS CURRENT AFFAIRS! HAHAH. Then according to my facil, he said that got one guy in my group damn pro. Haven't even give the choices yet he can answer already. pro pro. I think he went twice? because we were short of people. And he answered both times I think. But we only answered 5 questions right out of 12 I think? hahaha, less than 50%. I swear, the smell of the stupid mixture was still there even after we washed our hands. But thank god it was only hands and not BRAS LIKE IN IJ. Then we played some snakes game. Hard to explain, but basically we have to form this tunnel thing, the person at the end, runs to the other end of the tunnel and link hands. Then yeah, it keeps on going, and we have to follow this path of chips. Then there are a lot of different routes. Like the fast but dangerous route (with lots of intersections) and the safe but long route. We took the fast one! Damn exciting! Then basically, when teams reach an intersection, the first team that reaches it gets to cross first. Then the other teams have to wait for the team to cross before they can cross! And we managed to reach the first intersection first! :D But we only got 3rd in the end. nevermind! Oh and then once, during the kaching forfeit, everyone just did the rock star, hahaha. so a facil joined in and he kept doing porn star, so that everyone was sa-boed into doing porn star! Then it was mass dance and we learnt the whole of hip hop. So hard lah! Oh yah forgot to mention that we didn't manage to play the Candy Date game (which was the flour and jumping jacks game) because we had to re-register because there was an error in the system in the morning. At the end of the day, we got out SHIRTS! And yeah, I think that was it. Can't remember much. It was definitely more fun then the first day! I think they purposely made the first day boring or something. So everything in comparison to that would be fun! Hahaha, no lah. first day was basically admin stuff. Oh yeah, we learnt the school song and cheers at the end of the day too. Wah, facils are like pro pro man. Damn loud until the ground shake. hahaha, seriously. Like as loud as our entire batch maybe? And the school song is damn short. The words can be fit on two slides. ULTRA BIG FONT. like much bigger than this. MUCH MUCH. And it ends damn abruptly :\ Oh, and in between boring admin parts, there was this facil that told us a lot of LAME jokes. SUPER LAME. Tell you all next time. :) And we also learnt the chugga (spelling?) dance, which no one actually bothered to do and have fun except for the facils on stage. ahhha.

DAY THREE
started off the day at the Police Academy. First game was Find It. Basically there are 10 shoes. Some people are blindfolded and others have to stay outside the boundary and shout instructions for the blindfolded to find the shoes. WAH DAMN CONFUSING I SWEAR. the girls were blindfolded, except for two. And the guys shouted. Because they are louder and have more recognisable voices. My partner was steven, the loudest in the group. And then you all will think like wah, damn good right, so lucky. BUT NOOOOOO, omg. Almost died after 3 seconds into the game. Walked straight, like he said. Then after that, cannot hear what he said already. EVERYBODY was shouting like mad lah. Maybe my hearing's just bad lah. So I just anyhow walk. Because can see a bit through the blindfold. Then I can vaguely hear his instructions. Although, not sure if it was even his voice. Because I kept turning right, then left, right, then left. hahaha. But in the end I found 3 shoes :) Not bad okay. Then some people damn poor thing. Like they're the last few right. Then everybody just started shouting instructions to confuse them so they cannot go back! I think I'll just cry lah. hahaha. And according to eunice, when her group played, the facils or dunno who would throw the shoes to another end when you reach it, so it's like damn sian. You have to go all the way to get it again. Next game, DAMN FUN! The word game. IG sends one representative to go up to this staircase thing. And another representative to go up, collect the word and tell us where to lie and everything to form the word on the grass. First group to form the 8-lettered word wins. First word was GO. Everyone has to lie down lah. And then while you're on the ground, the game masters purposely pour water on the soil so it would be muddy. And then they'd pour muddy water ALL OVER YOU while you're lying down too. I don't know how some of the girls remained so dry and quite clean after this. But anyway, I shall list out the words. SEE, QUEER, SANDAL, CHINESE, NATIONAL. Can't remember what was the four-lettered word. :( Anyway, we lost lah. But it was damn fun because we were damn dirty. Then after that the girls went to hug our unsuspecting facil, Don, from behind. Because he was JUST TOO CLEAN! Then he started running away, and me and tania started chasing after him. But I swear, he runs DAMNNNNNNN fast! Want to corner him also cannot. But what do you expect, ODAC man! 2.4 timing was like 8 minutes something. Is that mad or is that mad. That's like faster than my 1.6 timing please. Haha, then the guys started to get him, since they run faster. And then Don decided to pour muddy water on our OTHER facil, sondra! hahaha! damn funny. And everyone started using buckets to scoop up this HUGE puddle of muddy water and pouring it on people. FUN-NESS! BUT WHEN I WAS COLLECTING MY SHOES AT THE SIDE, THIS FREAKING FROG (ALLITERATION) JUMPED RIGHT BESIDE ME LAH!!!! OMG, I SCREAMED! HAHAH, BECAUSE I WAS WONDERING WHAT WAS THAT, THEN WHEN I SAW IT WAS A FROG, I WAS SO EWW-ED OUT, BECAUSE I WAS BAREFOOTED AND THE STUPID SMALL FROG WAS TOUCHING/KISSING MY ANKLE! Anyway, aside from that, we went to wash our legs before proceeding for our next game. Which we were late for, because our facils brought us to the wrong station. BUT NEVERMIND, WE DAMN COOL, WE DAMN PRO. Still managed to OWN the game even though we joined in late and we didn't really understand the brief briefing the game master gave to us. Because the other teams started playing already. Lazy to explain this game, because I STILL don't really understand the rules and whatever. it's like lao ying zhuo xiao ji/catching. But anyway, the group that gets the most tags wins! Then group one only got 4 tags lah! hahaha, damn poor thing. But anyway, we still didn't win. The winner had like around 40 tags. We got around 30. PRO OKAY, :) Next were WATER GAMES! over at the pool. When we were walking/running there barefooted, the ground was super SQUISHY and MUDDY. That your feet can just sink in! Anyway, we practically bathed before proceeding to the next game because we weren't allowed to dirty the pool. Yeah, so we doused water all over ourselves. First pool game: Some ball game. Like captain's ball in the water, and youhave to stick to your lanes. Only some people could play. So some had to sit out before we exchanged. I played for the whole time! :) But it was still damn short. Anyway, I was on the attacking side, with steven AGAIN. Wah, he's damn pro please. Okay anyway, we had to wear lifejackets for 1.2 m! so dumb. the lifejacket was irritating and kept floating up and blocking my way. Anyway, the game was a draw 5-5. After the game, some people from our group pushed sondra in! Steven's idea. Hahha, because she was sitting on the starting block thing right, with her legs dangling. Then steven was telling me that after the game, we pull her in. Then he told a few othe people who were on the surface, to help push her in! Damn funny! Then next game, which was at the baby pool. Dog and Bone! Except that once you get the bottle, you get the point automatically! While waiting for the other team, the girls were attempting to suntan! Hahaha, and splashing our facils. Don pushed sondra in! (which caused her to suffer a cut) anyway, then we started splashing him, who took cover behind charmaine, who wasnt playing. And everyone started saying that he wasn't a man because he was scared of a little bit of water. hahaha, damn funny! And then there was another facil, who was running around chasing the game master because he was SUPER muddy! And then at first I thought he was like wearing some brown HCI shirt or something, but it turns out it was the white cj shirt that was dirtied damn badly! Like really damn bad! hhahhaha. Anyway, when IG 8 FINALLY CAME, I played against eunice chye! hahaha. I lost to her the first time lah! :( And then subsequent times it got better. and we were totally owning the game :) And this acs i guy from our group, reginald, pro, pro. Because he's a swimmer right, so he took two numbers, 18 and 19, since we were short of people. then the game master called BOTH 18 and 19! So he was like alone against 2 people from the other team! But he managed to get BOTH bottles that were being used to play. Is that pro or pro?? And then since we were totally owning the game, because IG 13 is just so cool right, then for the final round, the game master decided that whoever gets the bottle for that last round, wins the game. Super unfair right. NEVERMIND, she called out everyone, so it was like a mad rush and damn chaotic. Then haha, super funny! You'd think that the bottle would be found damn fast right! But noooo, because everyone was damn confused and lost, no one knew where the bottle was or who got it. Then sometimes people will lunge for the bottle, but it'll just float somewhere else. Then suddenly, I felt something banging against my leg. So I reached down and got the bottle! YES I KNOW, PRO RIGHT! HAHAHAH, I WON THE GAME PLEASE. HAHAHA. But then my contacts was damn irritating and kept threatening to pop out. And the water was quite milky from all the mud and unclear! EEEW. Anyway, after that fun time at the OPA, we took a wet photo before heading back to CJ! We didn't manage to play the last game. Some body bowl or dunno what lah. Which is rolling in the mud and other stuff. Shit man, so fun! But too bad lah, at least we ended with a clean, wet game! Changed in the toilets as the showers were all taken and there was a long queue! And then we went to the audi, and played murderer and who, what, huh! Tania got forfeited, and she had to go up to the guy on stage and say, "Weijie, you're so small and cute!" hahaha. Then after the mini games was mass dance. We learnt part of the Bangra! ahhaha, damn hard also. I'm just born with two left feet lah. Then lunch break, and then since sondra alr gave us a short school tour on day 2 (or was it day 1?), we were damn lazy to go for another one. So I think we had like a 2-hour break. So most people from our IG played netball after our lunch break. Against IG 16. wah seh, damn rough sia (hahaha, LIANZXZX!) Okay, anyway, after a while, steven fell and sprained his knee. See, told you it was rough. Then damn sian lah, just let the guys play. Then once, I was trying to get the ball, and there was this puddle, and I fell! So I guess, I'm still BUTTER. EH, but a lot of people slid and ALMOST fell on the puddle too okay! After this, we headed back to the audi for cca talk. The HOD say need basics for sports please! Then I was damn sad, because I wanted to join fencing! Anyway, cca bazaar. Walked around with Tania and Shermaine! They joined canoeing. So tiring please! And I joined gym. I WANT A. GYM! I don't want trampoline anymore! :( B-O-R-I-N-G! I wanna learn aerial cartwheel and uneven bars! :) :) :) But then I think a. gym got all the intimidating sn gymnasts! Nevermind, I have eunice chye with me! And my other IG friend, jerina. And WAI MUN! haha, but I think she's probably joining rhythmic? Whee, then I joined fencing! Gear alone costs 840 please. But can use edusave, BUT I HAVE NO EDUSAVE! HAHA. okay, anyway, first 2 months no need to buy. Only if we decide to stay on. And I shall see first :) Okay, that's all for today. It's now 4 am and I need to wake up early to meet cynthia tomorrow. Then after that, IG outing! :D EUNICE CHYE, MOVIE + DINNER OKAY. WE'RE COOL! :D

leader: WHY THIRTEEN SO COOL?!

group: BECAUSE WE ROCK THE SCHOOL!

WE ARE HOT HOT HOT LIKE SSSSSZ

WE ARE COOL COOL COOL LIKE BRRRR

WE ARE HOT, WE ARE COOL,

AND WE RULE!

YAY! :) IG 13! :)

so sad, next week's orientation we're splitting up into our classes! I'm scared that mine's full of nerdos! :\ Must do mass dance with them please! But i can't wait for dragonboating and the BEACH! :D

Anyway, I tried my best to describe the fun we had! But unfortunately, fun can never be described, it's usually a heat-of-the-moment thing. BUT ANYWAY YAY TO FUN!
