orientation's finally over!
as much as i want to take a break from worrying and stressing day/night,
is as much as i miss orientation!

but this year, its not the fun n cheers that i miss..
its worrying, the preparation, the cleaning up and seeing the orientation comm!
i miss OC =(

the months of planning that homework was largely OOSOOM (out of sight, out of mind),

the weeks of dry runs that we got burnt and kicked and the marks still stays till now,

the days i see the OC in the council room, the tired faces struggling to stay alert,
especially on cluedo night when so many of us slept in the audi aft the debrief and cudn bother to wash up.

the hours packing.
the most memorable was cutting paper and pasting on 300 envelopes, den cutting paper and sloting them into the 300 envelopes,
den came the surprise when some of the venues cannot be booked, so we must take out paper from the envelopes, re-print n re slot in.

those minutes of last minute changes,
those whispered in your ears while u are standing infront of the cohort whose eyes are on you..

the seconds we prayed desperately before our events took place..

the moments of sadness when our events that we cry and sweat for didn go as well and our efforts were unrecognised
the moments of joy however small when ppl say thankyou to us

i miss all those!

i miss the the countless and never ending phone calls too.

day 1 and 2
my hp was flat from calling shixun gladine and sunye.

but the pac monster race was epic!
the SC room was really a call centre!

...how scared we were when melissa lost her grp's valuables and we had to call up every OG
to see if they took it by accident
and how relieved we were when we know wai siang took it.

n i cudn even talk to yuru cuz she was ...

"hello, yeah. correct. bye"

"hello? oh.. it is.. ok bye"

"hello?... ok bye"

"hello? WAD ? NO... bye"

"hello you reached alrdy arh?"


... after 2 h in the sc room..


me" yuru u wna go eat?"

yuru "u wait ar.. " "hello? "

me " I.."

yuru "wait i got 7 more miss calls.."

i miss cleaning up the hall when the cohort when for their house initiation.
when we sang "the more we get to tgt.." and when they sang birthday song to me,
i almost cried. =)

speaking about bday,
i got to scare ppl
im the gal in white combing my hair and asking u guys to find me my rose petals that were scattered on the floor.

(rose petals n hospital bed)

some grps got to comb my hair and put on my hairband for me.
some grps got so scared that they threw my hairband on my head and fell on the floor.
some grps with great n mighty OGLs were not scared at all.
spending 4h with jason in the dark classroom was memorable alright =)



just as i have imaged when we planned samson's race, OG bonding physically=)

the amazing race,
ALOT more effort n thought in planning, more than telematch! (i can vow cuz i planned both!)
thanks for the grps that ran the race =)

thanks SM, u made it possible =)

i didn know everybody wud love this dance,
credits to my church =)
n the OC for presenting it so nicely..

i cudn really say the orientation was fun
cuz i had no OG/cudn spend alot of time with my house.
half of the time i was worrying/working/ trying to pretend i didn see/care bout somebody and trying to hide and be strong.
but i treasure the time with my adopted OG , D9
n the time i cheered the war front cheer with Drakon that made me strong
n the times when the OC held my hand when im scared.
we really grew close thru orientation..
had alot of inter-OC fun =)

this orientation is a one i grew from strength to strength most.
i learnt how to face consequences of wrong decisions and beat tired spells..
n one which i felt that i hv cared n served lead most.

wads sacrifice?

its when u give when u knw it wud not be recriprocated,
but u want to do it for a greater gd.

as long as you hv enjoyed yourselves, the OC is happy.

& i wud gladly gv up some fun to care n to serve n to lead..


cleaning up the SC room aft orientation..



mission accomplished =)
