Later On - 3rd-5th Jan

Day 2-4 of Orientation.

I'm just gonna give the main events
this time. My last post was super
long. but its ok i guess. cause its the
first day.

Addition to the first day...
Suddenly i remembered. me n
syaza were the super enthus.
we clicked easily. n were so crazy
for blackfoot. haha.

2nd Day: SUPER BORING.
dreadful. some uni lecturers came
to speak on us abt subject combi.
Me n vani were getting pretty close.
But, currently, i havent tok to her in
a very long time. She's at AC i heard.
So, at the end of the day, the only
thing i was sure abt was tht i was goin
to enter arts n social science when i
get into uni.
And one more thing... I promised myself
NOT to EVER take maths EVER again.
BUT... I had to. damn. Cos, i wanted to
take psychology in Uni. Its better to at
least have H1 (AO) maths. Plus, with
maths, the chance of getting into UNI
and the courses i want is better. Taking
maths gives a wider scope of courses to
take. SO, in the end, I chose (GASP!)
H1 MATHS. Im doomed.

NEXT... 3rd day:
Time for the fun war games. Only
thing. Too bad I didnt stay for it.
I managed to stay for the station
games only. Or was that the fourth
day? haha. Well, basically, during
the 3rd-4th day, we played loads
of games. But i ddnt get to join in
with the war games. SICK. yep.

There was the station games...
I remember one game that was
really disgusting. Its called
arrange chairs or something like
that. Basically, each orientation group
(OG) have to stand on like 8 chairs.
And SQUEEZE. we have to arrange
ourselves according to what the pple
(councillors) want. then, they will spray
water onto us whilst doing this. Its
not just ordinary water. Who knows
what mud and grass have landed into
it?! yucks. Then, wen we had to
squeeze, it was super disgusting n
scary at e same time. i had to squeeze
in with the guys. gawd. sounds lyk
nothing wrong right. But, when i mean
squeeze, i mean, parts touching parts.
Leave it up to the imagination. :T
But, for the sake of my OG and clan,
i did it. :)

There was also another game that was
pretty cool. but, generally station games
are quite a downer. So, the game was
lyk a puzzle thing. they gave car plates
with the numbers and alphabets on them.
We had to guess what the thing is saying
as it is written in short form. (eg. CUL8R)
which is 'see you later.' Syaza was really
good at this game. we were the enthu ones
as i say. But, the rest of my OG members
weren't that bad either.

Only problem... some of them were anti-social.
they were more comfortable with the
friends that they are familiar with. But, the
rest of them were alright. I think we had more
gurls then guys. erm. I think abt 7 or 8 guys.
Then, perhaps, 12 gurls. But of course, there
were more chinese pple. Only one malay guy.

Moving on...
On the 3rd day, i was dead sick. I was trying
to pay attention to Xin Ru (clan leader) and
Ian (head council) talking. But i cant bear it
any longer. So, i reported to my ogl. she
brought me to the office. n my mum was
informed. i went home alone... aww. hehe.
i tried to use the back gate. damn. it was locked.
I had to walk all the way back to the office.
I could have walked the short cut way
(through the grassy areas) but i ddnt noe
abt it at that time. And if i walk that way,
it would be so extra. Everyone is at the
grandstand. So, i used the SUPER long route.
Took one whole big circle around the school.
Arrived at the bus stop. was super tired. i
thought i should go to the clinic. so i called
my mum. Was of no use. i called my sis. We
met at woodgrove pri and she gave me her
netts. so, i went to the clinic n got an mc and
some medicine. Syaza told me she saw me
while i was on the way there. haha.

4th day:
woke up. still super sick. so i rested.
headache. flu was gone though. then, i went
to shcool later only. i ddnt want to miss
anything. Oh. and also ddnt want to miss
the cca fair. when i reach school, it was prob
abt 12 something. They just finished with
the war games. Syaza told me it was rough.
thank god i was sick. so, i stayed on. we ate
our lunch. catered. Had some meeting
again with blackfoot. discuss abt performance
item on boomba night. I was still having a
headache. gawd. CCA fair was fun. Syaza told
me what came as a shock to me. She n
Khalis are together. I ddnt noe that. She lied
to me at first. haha. they were playing a
game. see hu will be interested them first
at innova. so, they told us all that they are
best friends. haha. my ass... more than
friends. its so obvious actually. Khalis was
my 1st guy fren at innova. haha. told him
that. he's nice. was concerned abt me getting
sick and all... ah. now i rmb. during cca
fair, we went to the musician's club booth.
located at the back of the hall. david was
playing on the guitar. of course at first i
ddnt noe who he was. he's really good.
solo guitar. excellent. then, me, syaza n
khalis got so excited abt joining the cca.
(one of the reasons i join innova) Khalis
was the first to sign up. Then, aufar who
was in my og oso. hmmm. i signed up
soon after syaza. then, we had to go
for auditions. they said they will tell us
the date online. the thought of audition
frightened me. I was 0 when it comes
to guitar skills at that time.

well, we continue on to the next day...
the most exciting day throughout of all
the orientation days.

A New Beginning - 3rd Jan 2006

I'm gonna start off with the very first day
of me at innova. I didnt manage to update
my blog from my olevel exams all the way
to now, me in innova. So, here goes.

It all started off with my hustle and bustle
to get to school in time. With perfection of
course. I consider myself quite a perfectionist
when it comes to dealing with myself.
Self-centered as some call it.

A new day begins. A new year. And a new
environment. I wouldnt say a new life. Or
perhaps... it is. Innova Junior College.
What was to be expected? What was to be
done? Questions. Some solutions later on.

So, I woke up quite early that day. 3rd of
January. The official start for all schools
below tertiary level. That goes for even
the tiniest kindergarten student. On that
day, I woke up at around 6-6.30 am. I
think. I wanted to prepare for the very
first day. Why? I guess cause I'm settling
into a new environment. So, I wanted to
make a good first impression. I even
bothered to use the hairdryer. As I said,
to me, it must all be perfect.

My hair had to be perfect. N my skirt. N
everything else. Yep. That was how i was
to prepare for the first day at innova.
Pretty lame i guess. But, that was how it
is. The night before the big day, I even
troubled myself by sewing my skirt, altering
it to get the right length.

The truth is, I didnt want to seem like
some idiot wearing a long skirt. I came from
a girls' school. No mixing with guys for
4 years. That's how it was for me. So,
going to innova, I'll meet guys. N so, i
was nervous. N to beat it, I had to look
at least perfect. Gosh. I sound extremely
lame. But this was how I felt when I
came to innova. Like a fish out of water.

Yeah. I bathed. Took quite a long time.
I got dressed into my uniform. That
was the fast part. When it got to the face
part n getting eveything right, that was
hard. Gosh. I'm vain. I admit it. But,
who doesnt want to look good on their
very first day?

So, I put on these things: powder and
lip balm. Just baby powder. I find it
stupid to wear make up to school. Cos
its just school. Not a club or mall. Yeah.
After that, I grabbed my stuff. And
off I went. At around 7.30 am. That was
late. Yeah. I'm supposed to arrive there
at 7.45am actually. I reached there 5 mins
late. Everyone else came lyk at 7.20 am.
So, I was actually 30 mins late. Damn.
I came to school alone and sweating lyk mad.

Ah! That was hard for me. It was supposed
to be perfect. Oh. I just remembered.
Before arriving at the parade square, I was
right behind this two malay girls. Minahs
was my 1st impression of them. Then, when
they passed this group of malay guys at the
parade square, they strted going crazy. One
of them made an impression of Eddie Guerero,
WWE superstar. He went: VIVA LA RASA!
Lame. N I was right behind those 2 gurls. It
was so weird. I quickly sped off to the other j1s
at the back w/o looking at those guys.

Argh. My day started off terribly. Sigh. So, when
i arrive at the back with the other j1s, i saw a
few familiar faces. I saw this group of gurls
wearing a not-so-bright yellow uniform and
blue-green skirt. Hmm. Familiar indeed. I saw
the group of gurls from class 4S3 and Valerie.
Waved at them. Then, I saw Yun Xuan and
Vani. I was trying to search for my cckps frens.
When I joined Yun Xuan and Vani, I saw them
and waved. I was surprised to see Yun Xuan.
Didnt noe she went innova oso. It was great to
see all my frens. All the familiar faces. Then, they
made us stand for what seem lyk hours. The
principal toking super long. sigh. I was so
relieved when she stopped n the j2s when to their
classes. N the j1s got into our Orientation Group.

I cant really remember what happened next. The
main point is we were brought to the hall. N after
we registered, the principal just had to talk again.
Gosh. We listend to her for an hour. No kidding.
She went on toking abt how impt the 3 mnths is
and tht its a pre-u course. BLAH. BLAH. BLAH...
The Ogls and councillors got CRAZY in their
clans. Yeah. When Ian came on stage and started
the clan spirit, the ogls were cheering. So, Ian
and Rafidah introduced us to some stuff abt the
school. Abt the Golden Maple Leaf(haha)....
Then, we got to know each other in our tribes.
Mine was arikara. Orientation grp no. 25. We
had ice breaker games. Lyk repeating
everyone's name and blanket game. yeah.

Then, I met this really nice gurl. haha. Her name
is Syaza. She's from BP. My 1st impression of her
is tht she is sweet and friendly. N the smarty-pants
kind. really! haha. So, me n her stuck pretty close
together. Prob cos we're malay.

Well, so, the whole day went pretty ok. the Ogls
had to show what their cheer is. I'm in
Blackfoot. Yo! haha. thts our main cheer.
Their cheers were pretty ok. My feeling on the 1st
day was lyk a little confused and scared to
speak up. yeah. Anyway, we had the stupid mass
dance. which i thought was redundant. N
then we had the station games. That was quite fun.
Especially the one where we used a curtain to pass
a ball to the other team till we score.

It was a long, tiring day. N we went back at arnd
5. It was quite an ok day. I guess...
