Had the best UNPLANNED orientation today! Well, its either unplanned, or the plans were really cock up... Spent the day under the sun, talking to ppl i seen b4, but nt talked to, to ppl i hav no idea who they were in the first place, and of coz to familiar faces... Its interesting how ppl get tgt in a grp... Group identity is impt, and i guess the identity of my grp is "slack"? It was more or less a one for all, all for one thing... When certain games come up, ppl disappear to the toilets, or juz hung arnd looking like they were kicked out of the game.. There was even one game that almost all of us (except a small grp, which eventually won) juz kicked ourselves out, knowing that there will be no benefit staying in the game anyway...
I saw the PTI that appears in my, and many of my BMT mates, nightmares... Yes, the purely evil PTI who refers to himself as Jackson... I'll forever rememeber that name... The torture he put us through, the malicious laughter he has, the aura of trickery, i didnt know wat to say when i saw him... Thank goodness he wasn't my OGL, otherwise i guess i will be doing 30min lunges again...
And guess wat? This was the first time such a large grp appeared for orientation! Yes, all the DE students of '09 are so enthu la... There was a game where they provided a rope for all of us to hang on to... After realising the numbers that were swarming in, and was still swarming in, they had to provide 2 more ropes (and one more after a while, which makes it 3) for us so that everyone has a lil rope to cling on to.... So i guess, after the extra 3 ropes, that they were only expecting half, or even less, of the number of ppl to appear? Shld hav made their day, grant them their wish... 270 ppl in a small compound wasn't exactly ideal, but its the best they can provide, i guess...
Oh ya, we played the squirrel and tree game, the exact one we played in Shanghai... And the OGL didnt know how to give the instructions, and i kena the arrow... Seems like dejavu, we played the squirrel and tree game, and also captains ball (although i hav to admit, i liked the version we played)... Super sunburnt/tired/sleepy/aching/(and wateva u can think of, juz fill in the blank) now... But i guess its all a matter of perspective? Ya....
