omg should I even write what happened during orientation week? I don't know if I can remember every single thing we did, and I already have homework and files to get and stacks of paper to file hnnnnnng I suppose I should probably give a rough idea of what went down.
On the third day, the main event was the telematch, which was hella dirty. I mean like, rolling around in oyster sauce, mustard, orange syrup, bandung syrup, and ketchup dirty. The first station we had was Crap Twister, which is basically like twister, with any body part, and the dots are plates of yesyouguessedit. I felt like puking just smelling all of it together. I tried getting into the game, but the overwhelming smell of mustard and oyster sauce on my face just radiating towards my nose just made everything worse.
The other games weren't as bad, I suppose. The next one involved us belly crawling through yesyouguessedit towards a plate filled with flour and scrabble pieces, so we were supposed to try and make the longest word. Even with the word "adventurers", we couldn't beat the other team, who only had one letter longer than us. The third game was pretty much captain's ball, but with a broccoli covered in tartar sauce or something. Not as bad, considering we've played with cabbages in school before - the stench wasn't as bad this time. The last game was basically five people from each team sit on ten chairs, and play scissors paper stone, and the team who manage to push the other team off and get all the chairs, win. The catch was though, that yesyouguessedit drenched the seats. It wasn't that bad, considering that by this time, you at least don't get to see or smell it that much.
At the final end, there was a caterpillar race, the kind where you pass the last chair forward to the front, and everyone squeezes onto the line of chairs. At least this one wasn't really dirty, until we were told that there were bags filled with either water or syrup at the end of the race, and people were free to take them and throw them at each other. My class just took the water bags to wash ourselves off.
Apart from our dirty demise, the games earlier in the day were at least better. There was one game though, where we get in boy-girl pairs, and hold a stick of uncooked pasta between us - with our mouths. If it breaks halfway, you have to use the longer piece. We had to go back and forth three times in total, going over chairs together, bending over, and touching the floor. I suppose it wasn't that bad, considering that we were going through worse later that day anyway.
The fourth day was dragon boating, our visit to SAM, and our late night treasure hunt! And our sleepover, of course. Dragon boating was quite fun, actually. Each boat had two classes, and we just paddled around Kallang basin, played a couple of games, and had a race at the end. Unfortunately, the teachers won.
Our trip to SAM was rather enriching. I learned a couple of new things that I never heard before from my dad, like the flying turban, or the haunted toilets. The flying turban is about how there used to be an Indian guard (called "Jagas" by the students at the time. I'm not sure if it's spelt like that) who used to walk along the corridors, but for some reason, died. Despite that though, there were sightings of his turban floating around the same corridor. Another story from my dad was about how one of the Indian guards saw the gardener in his sleep at night, and told him where his body was. When the guard woke up, he went to where the gardener had told him to go, and found his body there, covered in ants.
Our treasure hunt was basically station games, where we were supposed to look for at least four out of six pegs at each station, before we could proceed to play the actual game. Some of the games involved the station masters asking questions to the whole class and each class member have to come up with an answer. At least seven of the answers need to be the same in order to get the point. One of the questions though, was who would be the best and pole dancing - you wouldn't expect us to have an answer, right? The game ended with one of our dear manly man classmates, pole dancing around a basketball post.
On the last day, we had our mass dance - I mean rave party - and campfire. We had been practicing a couple dance kind of thing over the past few days, and our hard work was paid off in a rave. We were given two glow sticks each, and danced the dance twice. It was kind of a strange and foreign experience for me, because it was completely dark, save some strobe lights behind the DJ and our glow sticks. I have no idea how they can dance with reckless abandon and go wild, so I uh, just ended up jumping up and down. I had a girl partner by the way, so I was the man.
Our campfire was probably the funniest part of the camp. Some of the skits put up by the classes were pretty good. I kinda liked my class's skit, but uh, it was kinda inappropriate at times. It was pretty much about the guys doing cheesy, kinda racy pick up lines at the girls of our group, only to be rejected by them. It ended with the last dude - yes the pole dancing one - pole dancing, only to have the girls go crazy for him. Yeah, p much. We ended up having to do a "viewer's discretion is advised" warning in the beginning because it was just that suggestive.
Talking about my class: I suppose I've assimilated rather well into the class - save the times when things get off the deep end and they talk about inappropriate stuff. I mean I know they're free to talk about whatever they want among themselves, but seriously, sometimes I think it's just too much - even for our (yes, us gurls) standards. Talking about kinks? I don't think we've gone that far... Apart from that, I do enjoy their company, yeah.
Anyway, first day of actual school was pretty okay. I like the teachers that we have so far (save one but I don't think I should judge) and I think school's going to be pretty fun. I haven't signed up for any CAS yet, but I'll probably do that over the weekend. For now though, I'm going to arrange all my stuff, and figure out what things to bring and leave in school.
