Orientation day @ SIM

Met up with new friends Julie and Diana before heading to the LT for orientation. Saw many people early birds lining the corridor and we walked to the end of the corridor to look for some empty space to stand and wait. But as we reached the end of the corridor, one of the seniors said 'It's ready and opened the door for us to enter' Hehehehe.. we became the earliest to get in there, though we arent that early actually. So we became part of OG 1 and got to know 23 others from the UOL programme.

Started with icebreakers.. Obviously... Haha.. Starting by saying your own name and naming a food/fruit that starts with the same letter. My name starts with X. So cool, there isnt any food/fruit that i can think of. I introduced myself as Cloud, easy to remember~~
Then there comes the 'killer game' start with the first lucky girl/guy saying his/her name, the 2nd person has to repeat the 1st person's name before saying his/her name... the game goes on for the next 20 odd people. I was one of the first to say.. Phews!!!
My memory isnt that good, cant remember more than 20 names all at once, especially the chinese names. Can mess them up easily.. and our og has 3 girls whose names start with 'Shu' and 2 girls with names that start with 'Li'

Later in the day, a few OGmates asked me whether Cloud's my real name. haha.. they were wondering which parent so cool, give their daughter this name & guessed that my name has a yun2 in it. (yun2 sounds the same as cloud in mandarin, though my name isn't written in the same manner)

Noticed 4 ex tee jay cee girls there. But i can only remember the names of 2 of them. They are the more popular girls in school hehe.. Shall talk to them if i get the chance..

After lunch, we visited student interest groups and clubs fair.. Couldn't find the booth for Dance Club, only see Salsa Club. Diana expressed interest in signing up & Micheline and i also wrote down own contacts on the list. Julie's surprised that Diana's the first to suggest signing up. Hmm.. see how when we go for beginner classes =p Micheline and i prefer street style dances though, but i think there's no harm trying out salsa~

Then it's station games, made us go up and down around the school, but the OGLs didnt introduce where is what and stuff. So when sch term starts, we'll still be blur when it comes to finding LTs and other places.
Final game of the day's dodgeball takes place in the hall. They've got Ikea bought pillows replace balls.. Hehe.. So as to minimise injury i guess. So it looks like some form of pillow fight..
Somehow I threw the pillows in the frisbee way, managed to hit many in the opposing OG. Either it's because i am good at throwing pillows or those in that OG dunno how to 'siam' or dodge. Haha.. but some of them arent that honest, didnt get out of court after being hit.
So we actually thought our OG lost lorh~~
Eventually we won 18-12.. Hehe..

We not only won that OG, we ended up being the TOP SCORING OG~ Wahhhh! So we are the 'winning team' that's supposed to face off with the OGL team and Titans team (all seniors la) in a much larger court & there's no time limit to the game.
The whole OG has to play and try to eliminate the OGL team, then the Titans team will come in.. That's when we can start to attack the 'King' who's seated in the centre of the back of the court behind the Titans. That will effectively end the game^^ But of course, the King has a Wife with invisible hands to protect the King by warding off all invading pillows.

After all OGLs were eliminated (our OGs good man!), my OG has about 5 or so people left and they allowed 5 others to join in... hehe if not we sure lose liao la, have to 'fight' so many Titans. I volunteered to be one of the 5, cos i like throwing pillows =D
Oh yeah, i've gotten hit on the leg in the 1st part of the final game, suay la... didnt manage to jump higher when i was pelted with 4 or 5 pillows consecutively by an OGL. Busy jumping around, managed to dodge many pillows... until that final one.. Hehs.. Never mind, i'm BACK in the final round.
I cant throw that well cos the court's much bigger and the pillows often go 'off-course' haha..

Every other OGs sat by the court to watch us.. I think i must have looked like some idiot jumping around to dodge pillows during the game (once any part of our body touch a flying pillow, we are considered eliminated) Heck care la, i dunno anyone other than people in my OG, so there's no need to be paiseh... Hahahahahahahah..
Thanks to Walter who threw a pillow at such a high speed (so fast, i didnt even see) and it smacked right onto the king's chest. WOAH! Climatic ending sia!!! WE WON THE GAME!

CHAMPIONS of Freshman Orientation Day~ OG 1!!!

But no presents for winning leh..
I was half expecting some little gifts or chocolates or something.
Woots.. I spent 'so much' energy dodging... Should give us some energy boost^^


After leaving SIM, i went to BY's new house in Clementi.. It's just nearby..
She's so kind to help me dl KAT-TUN's new album and dvd^^
She showed me the pictures taken while she was on holiday with her family in april to Tokyo --to see spring sakura blossoms. So beautiful sakuras everywhere along the streets of Tokyo!!!Lucky girl!~

So i reached home at about 10+pm. Travelling from west to east...
It's gotta be a habit for the next 3 years~~
