A busy week it had been...

The Freshmen Inauguration Ceremony commenced in the early morning with performance by CAC Voices, followed by a grand entrance of the Deans and Heads of NUS, speech and pledge taking..

I left shortly after lunch with my orientation group, to go Downtown East for a 3 days 2 nights chalet with fellow Namjians. Had our barbecue as early as 5pm+ as AM gotta leave soon. But still, food was insufficient to fill our stomachs. Haha..

Late at night, we had 4 seniors joining us for 2 games of bowling and later, played Indian Poker and the losers gotta drink Vodka mixed with Diet coke. Honestly, i only drank 3 cups, dunno why others thought i drank a lot and was drunk. Ha.. ok, im good at acting. It was 2am+ already and went to eat some noodles at a 24-hr coffee shop 20minutes walk away. Back at chalet, everyone was bored and decided to go to the beach. In the end, we were relishing moments of childhood at the Pasir Ris Park. It was fun but tiring. Din catch the sunrise and went back chalet to sleep. Almost 7am already. And it was only the first night.

Second day was a raining day. AM joined us again after NUS Flag day. And we played AM's Bored Game... Ok, a lot of lame questions, but funny nonetheless. Played some arcade games and pool before we started on our BBQ again. This time, we only left 6 people. Food was little also. But small group BBQ is not that bad after all. Haha.

Slept early that night at around 2am++ cuz the remaining people couldnt endure anymore after a 2hr 'Guess the pattern' game which YT wouldnt give up.

After checking out of chalet on Wednesday morning, i got home and started with my bidding for a GEM modules. It was so frustrating that the server was so overloaded, it was no way i could get in. Gave up at 2pm and the bidding closed at 3pm. So went to NUS to join the orientation...

When i reached there, G msged me that the closing time for bidding had extended to 5pm. Shortly after she informed me, J also called me about it and told me i could go Computer center to use the computers there. Wah... so touched that people already showed their concerns despite i merely told them at 2pm that i gave up that round of bidding already.. Great frens.

Joined my OG at 4pm++ and they were already at the second last station of the Amazing race. Din play any games then.

On thursday it was a day at Sentosa, but the rain spoilted it.Many people but we only started our games at 2pm+. The first game, squeezing water from a sponge into a bottle and this was similar to CAC one cuz we used body parts to move the sponge..Then we got dirty by muah cheeing ourselves and arranged the word 'CAP 5.0' which is the name for our group..Played Turtle-Turtle-Jump and we all got cream on our faces for losing..Almost got strangled by that Vietnamese who choked me a few times with her arm.. Haha..Ok, the water bags were used to throw into a pail after we spun around a stick 10 times...We only had time for 4-5 games... And after dinner, it was Engine Initation. We were officially welcomed into the Faculty of Engineering and the atmosphere was cool...They digged trenches in sand and put candles to make out the word 'ENGIN'. It was quite nice. We got an Engin T-shirt and a pin...

The next day, pool games were cancelled because they couldnt book the swimming pool. Instead, we had some land games...Played games like Three-legged soccer, Scissors, Paper, Stone, Transferring-Water-using-body-parts and Climbing-up-a-soapy-slope. That's all. Not enough time again.

Later, after some prize-giving, all the councillors lined up and the freshies shook hand with everyone...The line was very long.. Ha.

At night, we had Fright Night. Similar to CAC Camp's Fright night but much less frightening. We went to each place in group of 5 and even 8 people for our last station. Not much mission. Only had time for 3 stations and these 3 stations were at the same place as CAC's. Kinda expected. Ended at 2am+. Then had some pratas at a nearby shop, before resting at Ivan's hostel in Raffles Hall. It was 5am++ then. Din sleep much and woke up at 7am+ to assemble for the Rag Day..

Saturday was NUS Rag and Flag Day. Engin was the first faculty to present our float..Ok, Engin, wearing white was one of the largest group there. Faculty of Science and Business were two other large groups. Our float and performance...were so-so only... Business' float and performance were much better than us, but somehow, School of Design and Environment won the best float..Quite simple but they won. Dunno why.. Haha..And Simon was part of his faculty Rag team. He was dancing and if u look carefully, he was in the picture. Quite surprise he could dance hip-hop with style.. Impressed.Medicine had 'healthy-living' float. How apt. Haha.

Anyway, left with my group for lunch when it was Arts's turn and that was only the ninth float. Halfway through only. Bad thing about Engin being the first group - we were losing patience to stay through till the end.. Haha

With that, brought an end to our Orientation. It was exciting, fun and interesting though i skipped Flag Day but honestly, not as fun as most orientation camps before the orientation week.
