Have been too tired to blog about orientation, so I'll do it now.
Day 1 - wed 03/01
The first day of JC life. Firstly, I called Colin and Matt the previous night to discuss about meeting up, and we did, at toa payoh MRT at 7. However, I was the only one who arrived at 7. Matt arrived about ten minutes later and Colin arrived quite a while later. Anyway, we took 105 to CJC. We arrived to see people wearing the same uniform all grouped together. No surprise there.
We all headed towards the auditorium where we were suppose to line up in our IGs (index groups). Colin was in 7, Matt was in 13, and I was in 14. We had assembly and stuff and got our attendance taken. Blah blah blah, soon all the IGs were led to different areas in the school and began the ice breakers. The facils for my group were Natalie, Shi Jie and Laura (sorry if I spelled your names wrongly). We played the common games like blow wind blow and the blanket game. I then realised during Blow wind blow that someone was carrying the same bag as me! AAAH! haha...
Then the person HAD to say , "Blow wind blow, blow all those with white bags". I looked around and only the guy who was carrying the same bag as me (Nigel) and I had white bags! So embarrassing. I was kinda slow and had to pasang. Anyway, the ice breakers were kinda awkward cos everyone was shy and stuff.
I can't remember what EXACTLY happened on the first day, but it was rather enjoyable. The mass dance was fun, and I finally got the song! It's Take The Lead from the movie Take The Lead. Haha. I thought it was from Step Up since it is a recent dance movie. Plus, the words "step up" are said at the start of the song. Anyway, the first day wasn't as enjoyable as the rest because of all the ice that was still present. Nevertheless, it was good. I ended up taking 156 home. It was such a long journey.
Day 2 - 04/01
The second day. I woke up at 0840. haha. Totally late. I panicked when I saw my room all illuminated when I awoke. My parents fetched me to school and I reached at 9++. Luckily I only missed the subject registration. I reached and asked a nearby facil what I missed and that I had to register my subjects. She asked me to see the VP (wasn't as bad as it sounded) who shook his finger at me when I said I overslept. It reminded me of Mr Danny Tan from Cat high when he told us how the League Of Nations reprimanded Japan for invading Manchuria. Lol.
"Bad Japan, bad Japan"
Anyway, I went to the com lab only to see none other than Aunty Lian Teen from Church! haha. I had no idea she workes in CJ. She was like, "Eh you're here ah?". We didn't chat much cos I had to go for the mass dance practice soon after. I won't give a detailed "analysis" of this day but I must say I enjoyed day 2 the MOST among all the days. I especially enjoyed the "body parts" game. My partner, Mary Anne (I think), and I got foot and knee. We were lucky. Others like the first person got head and armpit. Some others got butt and head or mouth and mouth. It was very very funny and enjoyable. The other more fun games included the tunnel game and the one where we had to spin 10 rounds. It's crazy lah that game. After the ten spins, I couldn't walk straight at all and started walking in the opposite direction. The others all had it bad too. Some fell down, others went left and nearly crashed.
Overall, day 2 was a blast. I had a really good time. Thank you facils.
Day 3 - 05/01 Today was quite ok. Very wet and messy though. IG 14 ROCKS!!! Haha... We could have won the word spelling game. Went for the CCA exhibition as well. I signed up for Fencing, Bowling, and Debate. Lol. They all look very fun. It's quite LC lah, the system. We only get to be with the IGs for 3 days, then we have to be in our classes for the rest of the orientation. What's wrong with them, really. We were just getting to know each other, then have to break apart. Aurgh. Well I made quite a few friends in the IG. Have to add them on msn soon.
Anyway, here's a shoutout to the 3 facils for my group, IG 14. YOU ALL ROCK! haha. Yup. In fact, I think all the facils for the orientation are fantastic. They're all extremely enthusiastic and fun and etc. Really great. Was really fun having them around. Especially when they all do the dance together and stuff. Really great bunch of people.
Ok, that's all for the orientation. Now, here're some hilarious Madtv parodies that I found. Laughed liked crazy.
This is a parody of Nelly Furtado's Promiscuous. The original video is here.
If you've never watched it before, watch it to see why the parody is so funny. The funniest parts are during 00:51 about the penicillin and 00:57 when "Nelly Furtado" stares at the guy blankly then starts dancing. 01:12 about the promiscuity and 01:19 about the going insane thing are also very funny.
Here's the parody of The Dixie Chicks "Not Ready To Make Nice" video. If you don't know about the controversy, here's just a little summary.
Here's the parody
The 2 women parodying Emily Robison and Martie Maguire, the other 2 members of the group, are extremely extremely funny. It's a must see.
Here's the original video:
Ok. That's about what has happened to me so far! Have a nice day!!!
