Confessions

Hey ya!

I'm back! Okay, so i finally got through the gruelling 3 Days 2 Nights orientation camp. This entry is all about it. All details and stuff. So, take your lemonade and watch this.

Day 2
Reported at 8.30am. Sad lah. Packed my backpack only the night before. Wasn't exactly looking forward to it. Guess I'm the only one feeling so in the group.

Started the day. I smsed and smsed and smsed. It's an excuse to not join in their conversations. Ok. So they've already got all their cliques. There's no one alone. They will wait for one another and so and so.

I forgot what happened. I supposed we played games. =)

Met our course carepersons. Hell i was lost. Haha. Eunice told us where to go person by person. And i was the last to be told where the hell i was supposed to meet my careperson. G.R.E.A.T. HAHAHA. I was told to go to Room 4-50. I went up and discovered it was a bunk. So i went around asking for help and nobody could help me. In the end, Hui Zhen(GL) took me to the Admin desk and they called Gary(the guy in my group who's in ADM) to ask him where the ADM people are. Hui Zhen then brought me to the third floor(dammit!) and we coincidentally chanced upon teo ADM seniors. So they brought me into their room.

EVERYONE WAS HAVING PIZZA! Hahahaha. So i went in and sat down at a table. Coincidentally Rahimah was there. I knew it! I've seen her around the school, but i wasn't sure which course she was in. But there was a TP newsletter in which she had an interbiew, ans she said she wanted to take ADM. Okay, so she's there. Wah lao eh. They are so enthu lah. Somehow i was more outgoing with the ADM people.

Ok. 1.25pm, went back to our respective groups.

Evening came. We were supposed to go to Sentosa by ourselves. Our group decided to take public transport. We were supposed to take bus 23 to Boon Keng and take MRT from there, but we missed the bus cause we were waiting for Eunice. Sometimes i think she is trash. She doesn't know how to lead lah. She's always doing shit, making people wait for her and disappearing for the whole day. Whatever. So we waited a long time, watching other groups board bus 69. In the end we were told to take bus 69. Ha. Ha. Ha. Bullshit.

So we got on the bus and alighted at the bus interchange. Walked to the MRT interchange. Oh my god. It had only been a few days earlier i had been walking along this stretch of road.

Got on the train. I just sat alone, opposite the girls who sat together. Woah they are like so chat-table, talking non-stop. I wonder how people can have so many stuff to talk about when they've just got together for one day.
Swtiched to NEL at Outram Park. Alighted at Harbourfront. Then we went to Vivocity. Just when i was wondering why we were going into a shopping mall, we arrived at the fourth floor, and i realised we were supposed to take the monorail from here. So we hopped on, and alighted at Beach Station.

From there we assembled at this Emerald Pavilion and started our games. It was so boring i wanted to sleep. I took every chance that i could sleep to sleep. Hahahaha.

Finally finally the day ended. It was around 1++am. We waited for the buses to come and made our back to TP.

I only got to sleep at 4++am cause of the bitches who bathed in their own sweet time. Come on lah, spare a thought for others. If this were NPCC, three minutes and someone would be banging on your door. Now i miss the times in NPCC. HAHAHA.

Oh no. My handphone's battery is flat. I just watched the number of batteries on the screen drop and drop through the day and now I'm left stranded without the ability to SMS.

Day 3
We went for the Design dance early this morning at the Sports Complex. It's kinda like international dance, with twirls and swirls. I was the guy. Yay. I think i was the reason why two girls besties were broken up. Cause i didn't want to dance with a guy. Hell yeah I'm the motherfucking princess. HAHAHA.

So we danced, and then this Chicky Dance came. Somehow everyone knew how it goes except me. So i just turned when they turned, except that i didn't do the actions. Ok, so it's over, and the group decided to takeaway McD. I didn't, cause i had something on.

During lunch break, I went to the business school. I had a wonderful rendezvous with my love. We drank canned Milo(haha) together. Soon she had to go back to the group and i made my way back to the bunk.

We were called into our respective courses again. The careperson/course manger gave us a talk on the course. Okay i was trying to keep awake and i'm sitting right in front of the screen. Then Moses gave a talk too. Oh my god. I could hardly keep my eyes open.

At night, we had our performances.Oh hell the backstage was damn damn BIG. Really! It's as big as the auditorium itself. Oh my. AWESOME! COOL! We performed our skit. Of course I'm not the main character.

Guess what. We won SECOND! Ok, there were prizes.

Then we proceeded for nightwalk. Not before the in charge, Joseph, told us ghost stories about the campus,or better still, the design school. I was so tired i wasn't scared or frightened a bit. He said that Thursday night is not a good night for design schoo. Alright. Anyway, i realised a lot of people in the school have got mohawk heads, including this Joseph guy.

Okay, so we began our nightwalk. It goes like this. There's a storyline, which is that there is a massacre in Temasek Design School, and we have to find out who's the killer. We have to look for clues on our own.

First we went to a cluster of fallen dustbins. They are those large Sembwaste kinds, and they are painted on for some kinda project by the seniors. One 'ghost' was lying in one of the fallen dustbins. Oh my. The makeup was so damn gorgeous! 'Blood' spewed all over her face and hands. Gary started,"What happened to you?" from behind. Then I started laughing mad. Eunice then shushed, saying something about not laughing about his kind of things.

Damn it was exciting! All those ghosts and dark wanderers. The girls were shrieking like hell while i was laughing like hell. I mean, it was really hilarious. Sometimes the dark wanderers will suddenly fall on the floor and crawl towards us then i would start laughing again. So we went to various stations to see the different ghosts and got clues from them. Wow their acting was good. They didn't laugh or what, but just acted their part.

The nightwalk ended, and we went back to the LT(lecture theatre) to submit our answers. In the end they showed us a video which depicted the actual story of what happened.

Hurray. Time to sleep!

Day 4
Last day. Oh god. It's finally here.

I realised that some of the people in my group are very childish. Childish, not child-like. It may be because we are from different schools or age ranges, but somehow their thinking is not mature like what that of a 16-year-old should be. Like, when someone gets in front of them and they are queuing up, there will be incessant murmuring of "cut queue". Come on, just tell them straight in the face instead of complaining. And those people weren't even cut-queuing. Oh i hate that word. Then on the second night, other girls were moving into our bunk cause there wasn't enough space at the other bunks. The girls are like so kiasu, hurrying to book places with their sleeping bags. One more thing. The girls in my group are so un-rugged and weak. I don't need to describe that.

Anyway, It's the FINAL CLASH today, where all the five schools compete against each other. We got ready and put on our 'makeup'. We had to draw our faces. with camouflage paint(the kind soldiers use). Everyone was given a 'squeeze' of black paint and a 'squeeze' of green paint. Everybody was like two horizontal stripes across the cheek. So i decided to do something different. I was thinking if i should draw a star or vertical stripes. Then Hui Zhen came over to help, and she drew three vertical stripes on each side of my face, plus eyeshadow. G-R-E-E-N. Hahaha. Fun. Some of the seniors were very creative. Pirates, beards and all.

The design school purposely waited until all the schools were settled down before walking into the stadium. So big shot right. We settled down.(There was very little space.) We had to stand up and cheer occasionally, but after a few rounds i gave up because it was hard to move around. Then there were those bloody Malay bitches who kept asking people to stand up and cheer. It's irritating lah. Argh. Makes my blood boil thinking of them. The way they do it. You can't force everyone to be as enthu as you, ok.

Then someone went away for the games and i got more space. In the beginning i was cheering and all, then i started to doze off while standing. So i decided to sit down. Then i started to doze off while sitting down. So i decided to lie my head down on my knees to get a nap. Luckily nodoby really bothered about me. Only one girl was like,"Are you okay?" I think she saw me swaying from side to side in my sleep.

The games were completed, and we made our way to Bedok Reservoir. Regetta 2007. So the dragon-boats raced against each other, the design students cheered like hell(except me who sat half-asleep at the back most of the time), and the cheerleaders went on stage. Oh my. Design students are really high and enthu. If there's any loud music they'll stand up and boogey. Not me. Then they'll cheer like mad. I was so tired of it all. Haha.

HURRAY! It's all over. We made our way back to the school to have a final gathering. Moses and the seniors gave speeches. There were some heartwrenching moments. "You are no longer freshmen. Welcome to Temasek Design School" and stuff. One big family. Then we were told to give a final hug. All the freshies.

AND WE WERE THROWN WITH WATER BOMBS. I was damn soaking wet. The seniors threw down water bombs from the above floors. Ouch. Then it was smelly. I guess it was because we were perspiring.

Then we off to ourselves, and we were told there was a design Jam and Hop later.

I met up with Nicky after taking my stuff, and we went to see the TP Jam and Hop. Oh my god. There wasn't quite a crowd there. So we went to the design Jam, and it hadn't started, so we left TP and made out way to TM. Had dinner, took neoprints and went home.

The tormenting days are over. Oh man. I wasted three days of my life. Sometimes i wonder if i would better enjoy myself if i was more social. But the part of me being more social is anything but possible. Yeah, so...

Hurray.
