Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) Freshmen Orientation (FO) is really awesome~!!

Day one I had few hours of sleep, thus felt lethargic, and thus dragged my feet to TP... It was totally.. Zombie.... yepp zombie is the most suitable description... Time passes like snail in a gushing river... It was rather painful - to keep my eyes open and try to bond around, but I survived through it, and the amazing race which was not really conducted well, but their ideas are great. We lost everything for both teams, except for the one that we had to drink milo, both our teams won that game~!! haha. Furthermore we had worst luck than the other team, they had triple one on the dices, which means they would have to drink the least, and we had like 4, 5, 2 or something like that.... Cool.... then we had games like stuffin popcorns and do jumping jacks... haha I think if solo I would own, trained by wushu haha, but oh well, we have to do it as a team. Then we have few lousy games like going through a maze of number sequence blindfolded, and the human size table soccer was fun but our guys, especially me, were outnumbered and out-skilled, and a nice idea was the one that we had to use straws to suck or blow ping pong-balls through a maze....

Second day was crazy, we have dragon boating~!! first time in my life I went for it, and then we have wet activity~!! Some stations as usual is not well carnied out and organised, but the capture the flag + catch the donkey tail game was fun. we have to prevent opponent from stealing our balls by detaching their tails. Also, there's this 4 way dog and bone, but each number is a pair having one of each of their legs tied together, and one of them blindfolded! And instead of an object, we throw water bombs~!! The wheelbarrow transporting water idea is good but it was not carried out nicely, same as the one where we had to search mentos in a basin of water and flour without the use of hands.

And at the night of the second day~!! we had talent time~!! this is where I decided to participate int he enthusiasm. We came up with a simple skit about a summary of out FO days, including simulation of 3rd day, and at the finale, I will strike a split as they cheer to the song: On the floor, by Jennifer Lopez, that completely wowed the audiences plus the teachers. WOOHOO~!! Our item was 4mins, whereas the other groups have 10-20... which made the teachers bored, except for this singaporean that looked and spoke like a China man, and as super hilarious. The background was that he was a adventurer finding gamma ray, so he went to this tribal village with a king. Then as the king delivered a welcome speech,k he said: you think this is a game? then at the last part, because the king was carrying a broom stick and pounding it, he said: very dusty, stop playing it okay?... hahahhahaha~!! Oh his most prominent quote was "Mao Ze Tong!" Oh, there's like cross dresser too~ really awesome haha.... AND YEA~!!! WE WON~!!!!!!

Third day was the climax of everything. After the lympics games, the cheerleading, and the dragon boat, we gathered back for announcement of awards. At our victory, the audience requested for an encore, thus for the first time, I did a back roll and then a end pose split~!!! FIRST TIME~!! that wowed the whole audiences again~!!! Haha I feel like in some 'Got talent' show. Cool~! Then yea we had a jam and hop night, and the last 30mins was the greatest. We sang the tp song and the tp mass dance~!! woohoo~!! the mass dance is a great way to dance with and meet any random new girl and start getting to know each other. The tp song is simply 'bondable'~!!!

In a nutshell, HSS FO 2K11, especially my group Oxy, with the Group Leaders and 3 guys (Meng Wai, Bryan Wong, Tan Yi), is awesome~!!!!!!!!!!!! I realised that I must always initiate to hype up to enjoy myself and the whole camp more, as you can seem I was stoning at the first 1.5 days, until I lost my sanity~!!! Temasek Me~ Temasek You~ WA ARE A TEAM~ YO! YO! YO! YO!

Woots~ first go at dragonboat, first attempt to dance in front of so many audience, also first for performing full split in front of so many audience, best of all, first attempt to BACK ROLL AND END POSE WITH A FULL SPLIT~!!! HSS FO's awesome~!!

But seriously sad when I found out that Meng Wai is in my course yet different class, it was like the whole FO pointless cuz we have to be separated despite bonding for the past 3 days, and have to reborn with the classmates... maybe I should write in to the teacher-in-charge...

Oh oh~ one more thing, the group leaders are awesome dancers, and one of them looks like dong li huo che, and the other one looks like zhang yu~ hahahhahaha
