alhena
orientation has just ended and now we all face the greatest anti climax after all that exhiliration and all the high. i've to return to studies! AND there is a test on monday. great. what a way to welcome back the ogls to classes. i do wish that teachers would be more forgiving at times.
however, i cannot help grinning from ear to ear as i think back on orientation. i woke up this morning with aches and pains everywhere, and a massive headache. i don't know how it happened. maybe its a hangover from being so high last night. hehe.
i had the most fun in the world this past week, and i don't even think that the freshmen had as much fun as i did. the Alhena 6 freshmen were great, and i hope they are as happy with us ogls and we are with them.
anyways, the first day was kind of dull. that was because we didn't have any games, save for the icebreakers and some talks. after that was more fun because the freshmen learned the livin da vida loca dance, which is the finest example of a fun mass dance.
the second day was the couple dance and csi meridian. had a minor mishap bcos i was dancing as a guy since we have a lack of the male species in the OH. so since i'm tall and my partner wasn't as vertically inclined, my back gave an awful crack when we did the full turn in the later part of the dance and i had quite a bad back ache later. thankfully i was a game i/c for csi, and so wenjian and pangker brought me to the game station and got me my clues and some deep heating rub. and very luckily, i had some sense to bring medication in the morning, so i took some and within an 45 minutes or so the pain started to subside. the rest of the time at the game station was quite ok. a bit draggy, since i had nothing to do. then we made water bombs, loads of them, and had quite a terrible time transporting them back and forth because of the sheer amount that we had to make. was very tired when i got back.
third day was mmm. i was so tired cos i woke up early. a tad too early, in fact. when i reached the mrt station i took the first train that came and to my horror, no one that i knew save for councillors boarded it. means i was VERY early. and when i reached the harbourfront station i saw almost no one, so this sargas freshmen tagged along with me and talked to me until we reached the bus station. only chunwai was there lar. madness.
anyways, we finally reached sentosa in one piece and there was a bit of bad weather halfway through the game. was a game i/c again, and some people chased me and vanessa out of our shelter. i had to run back and forth to sarah to get help because they were a pain in the butt, and set up their log so near to our games. but the game was fun otherwise.
finally we had to retire to the shelter cos of the bad weather and we had to end the entire mmm. then we had dances and all that nonsense. was very fun! i think the freshmen thought that i was a bit crazy. i certainly acted like it. got to know some other freshmen from the other groups. played with vega 5 a little. and i played with alhena 8. i even played pepsi cola with anting. and danced like nobody's business. and cheered like i've never cheered before. was so much fun. later i went home with zhijun, sooyee and jon ma. was very cold and it was all because of jon ma. i swear he beats righteous when it comes to being lame. even yosua and xuanwei don't stand a chance against him man. i had cramps from laughing when i got home. sheesh.
yesterday was the bestest, most super-de-duper day of all. we started off with wet and wild. i wasn't supposed to get wet due to certain reasons, and i ran at the back so that i wouldn't overstrain myself but in the end i still ran in front and got wet. that fabian (who has been given a rather new and interesting name, fababina) sprayed me with a hose. ying lin and yijun took good care of me, and tried to not get me that wet or injured. and later on in started to rain, and then other councillors sprayed me. some guy from another alhena og had the audacity to bomb me at the tennis courts and my og freshmen dumped a pail of water on me there as well. then i played water at the basketball courts and splashed the water in the puddles on the other councillors as revenge. muahahahaha.
it was a blast. after that was campfire.
two words. blown. away.
it was just so high. initially, i was rather stressed cos A6 had some problems getting their props done and the act together. so i was a bit bummed. then the campfire started and alhena went up first. ogls did the hakka, and the freshmen were great! was super proud of our little chicken dancer and the retarded dragon! haha. then as it progressed things just got better and better. everyone was on their feet, dancing and cheering. it was like being at a massive rock concert. i think i even revealed some dancing that i do from time to time when no one is looking when i'm in my room. terrible lar, i don't know what the freshmen must have thought of me.
i was breathless with joy and exhiliration and probably every other positive feeling in the world. Alhena came in third in the end, but we are all champions to meeee.
by the end of the night, everyone was high. so high that i think i left my brains in my bag at the end of campfire. lucien made the most inspiring speech to us all, and i was feeling rather emo at that moment. haha. reminded me of when kaisheng spoke to us in last years orientation. he came to school yesterday too! there was this bottle of sparkling juice that got sprayed haha, courtesy of one of the other ogls, i think it was adrian. and then we lingered around until the school authorities got mad at us.
it was great. the best campfire that i had in my entire life.
so 2006 started sweetly for me. i hope this lasts. =)
