Orientation!
Tuesday, February 12, 2013 // 0 comments
School started a week ago and i had my first ever College Orientation! Woohoo! I'm hyped up now because i feel so fresh and new to start my new life in college! It's a new beginning for everyone, i would say. :-)I was pretty nervous on the first day of school (well, who wouldn't be?), i reached early so i was the first person in line of my Star Group (SG), Selectra. I'm in the Green House, aka Sagittarius, and all of us are divided into SGs. Each SG has a very unique name, and mine happened to be Selectra. Yeah, it's a weird name but i grew fond of it after the five days i spent with my group. ^^
I met a few friends, most of them are Malaysians. I was really shocked when one of the members in my group, Jesline, was from Penang! :O I talked to her and i realised both of us have the same beliefs, such as our religion and the reason behind our ambitions. It feels so great to meet someone who shares the same background as you as well as the same beliefs. And we share the same eye candy as well, hahahaha oops!
The sad thing is... she's in the science stream whereas i'm in the arts... So we won't be in the same class. :-(
I'm seriously keeping my fingers crossed that she and I will end up in the same CCA lol i don't want us to drift apart. I hate it when that happens. :/
Jesline, Zac and I on campfire night!
The thing i remember most about Orientation is that I felt like i really belong in Innova. When we played the ice-breakers we saw a few other people from Sagittarius being punished on stage. They had to dance, and I was really shocked all the Star Group Leaders (SGLs) joined in with them. When they danced, their moves were all in sync oh gosh my jaw literally dropped when i saw the entire thing haha. It was just superb!!!
All the SGLs were like all rounders okay, i'm NOT kidding. They were so outgoing and loud and funny and nerdy and just ahhhhhh! Finally I see people who were like me when I was in secondary school, but even better! I also found out that the entire orientation programme was planned and carried out by the SGLs, that was what made me love the school even more. The fact that the teachers treat us as adults is just awesome!
Another highlight of the orientation is the mass dance. It was extremely fun!!! I have always loved dancing so i had -coughs- no trouble -coughts- learning the moves. We had a mass dance which requires a partner of the opposite gender, and an individual mass dance. I was a bit uncomfortable with the partner dance at first because it involved a lot of hand holding, spinning, etc., but as the days went on i found myself loving it more and more! The individual dance was unique because during the bridge each house had a special dance move, and Sagittatius's dance involved the gangnam style OTL. Ahhhhhh i loved the mass dances so much omg.
Last but not least, the campfire was the best. We had to learn a number of dances for the campfire performance within a day, it was tiring and stressful, but we had a lot of laughs along the way.
I remember when the teachers left, all the house captains led us in another cheer war, the music blasted through the speakers and i really felt like I was in a club lol. I literally threw myself into the music and grooved along with my friends lol oh gosh i wanna go back to that night again. :-(
Go Selectra!!!! ZOOOOM!
Abigail (the girl in the middle holding the flag) is the cutest SGL ever!
Lol it took us so long to pose for the running shot above, but we didn't win the contest. :-(
There are more photos but my phone's currently being repaired so I can't receive them through whatsapp at all. Will update soon if I'm not too lazy lol.
Alright i'm off to prepare for school tomorrow, i hope everyone has had a great Chinese New Year! ^^
