#1 SCANDALOUS COUPLE OF THE YEAR :D :D :Dhaha yep that was rj orientation '09 O'TIERO :)
So I shall try to give a not-too-draggy but nice post on orientation, even though well it happened more than a week ago already.
day 1
kind of nervous about orientation but was much much much happier when I found out that I knew most of the girls in our OG except larissa kailin and yuheng. So honestly it was like super super awkward, they should have taken a photo of us all squashed up in a very distorted circle, girls on one side and guys on the other and completely not talking to each other! And then there's our OGLs yingching (waiky!!) alina and alaric who were busy collecting forms and money from us. Well it was just pretty awkward and if not for the fact that dear gourmet #4 willettewee and ahma and tricia and annie were there, it'd have been very strange for me and I would not have talked that much I guess.
The station games were pretty cool. Especially the scissors paper stone one where you have to slide your iron butt across the chairs. And sucking up to the station masters. And sai's "BAYWATCH LIFEGUARD!!!!!!" during charades! xD
Ah I don't remember anything extremely eventful about day one apart from the below five random facts:
RANDOM FACTS ABOUT DAY ONE.
1) We formed a family made out of ahma, tricia (ah gong!), yuheng and kailin (the couple!), me (auntie mui / mui yi) and willettewee (auntie mui's relative)!
2) I hardly talked to any of the guys.........
3) .... except brian BRAIN and bryan my dance partner, because I was sandwiched in between them during icebreakers!
4) sumo was super amusing even on the first day. :D
5) I thought siva was sai and that sai was siva.
day 2
oh I realise that this is becoming a super long post but gah never mind I'll just carry on because it's getting to the exciting part! *giggles*
day two was sooooooooooo much fun coz so many crazy things happened to us on that day. And I think no other OG would've experienced what we did!
Dance was.... spectacular.
Discovered that I wasn't exactly such a horrible dancer as I thought even though I still think I can't dance for nuts. And bryan is secretly good no matter how much he says he can't dance that crazy (hahaha) pok! Ahma's partner on that day was brain, who was I think almost three heads taller than her (depending on the size of the head you use to measure), so when they had to do the twirling and stuff it was so hilarious! Then there's annie and benlow and wayne and willette the FAILED DANCE PARTNERS who aren't that fail also lah. Karan was so good at dancing that he made kailin strrrrrrrrrrressed!
And then there was EA EXTERNAL ACTIVITY MUAHAHAHAHA.
Actually we were quite good from the beginning, like we managed to complete alot of things and ran all the way back to the checkpoint to get earlybird before discovering that so many other groups already got the earlybird points :O then we had lunch at toa payoh macs, and went to the MRT station.
.....
.....
.....
Then wayne disappeared!
: O
*gasps*
So just as a bunch of us was about to board the MRT train, our OGLs stopped us and told us that wayne was being detained by a security guard because they thought he was a terrorist. Everyone was going nuts at that time, like annie actually smsed / called him, and alot of us wanted to go up to look for him but the 3 OGLs kept telling us not to. We waited for close to 45 min but we were secretly enjoying the nice aircon and large open space of the MRT station, and not having to run around everywhere like crazy looking for checkpoints. And we camwhored alot! After awhile then we were told to go to dhoby first so we went and that's when we found out WE GOT TOTALLY SCAMMED BY OUR OGLs nyehhhhhhhh : X
What happened was that wayne lost his wallet somewhere along the way from macs to the MRT station, but we didn't notice he was missing at the gantry because he was behind with his ben low all the while. So qian bian benlow actually knew about the scam but didn't tell us so we were feeling pretty stupid about it! :) ah never mind the camwhoring at the MRT was nice OG bonding!
We got 2nd last for EA but we didn't really care luh coz we had so much fun :) especially at dinner too when we koped so many vouchers from the manhattan fish market promoter girl who I think was super happy when close to 20 of us all chiong-ed into the restaurant for our OG dinner. Camwhored like mad, went nuts in the toilet, took BRUDDER photos of benlow and wayne, celebrated all the january babies' birthdays with a nice cake, etc. you get the picture.
but day 2 was super super super super fun! xD
day 3 and 4
War games was crazy as hell but super fun, willette and I managed to save sumo, brain and marcus during the Strip Me If You Can game. Girls were going nuts everywhere chasing guys and pulling their shirts..... I saw someone who actually pulled a guy's shirt until his whole body was exposed so you can imagine how much his shirt must have expanded...
And MR won the chopsticks game because all of us were ganging up against BB and MT, especially MT which was super difficult to cross because their defenders were dreadfully scary. Day four was also quite slack, just learn the rain dance and the whole mass dance and we could go off :) so almost all of us except lari sujin karan and brain went off to pastamania j8 for lunch! (: played the I HAVE NEVER game and lost after annie and wayne did... not surprising though coz all of us were trying to sabo both of them especially with annie's academic and music stuff which none of us have seriously accomplished besides the genius herself :D
Shopping was quite fun although there was just wayne sumo tricia willette and myself, we got loads of nice snacks and sumo almost ALMOST bought this big takeaway yusheng set for Take 5. O_O and somehow all of us knew every song that was playing in the NTUC supermarket, probably coz they were all oldies and our parents listened to loads of them in the car like on 90.5fm!
day5! TAKE 5 + O'NIGHT!
SUPER FUN. as usual.
A couple of us met up at pasir ris MRT, then took a bus down to pasir ris park instead of the shuttle coz we didn't want to be part of the big big big big big crowd. We didn't sign up for anything as an OG, but most of us (tricia yuheng annie ahma willette wayne benlow sumo austin and me) went to the huge playground and spent loads of time there camwhoring and reliving our childhood days O_O The kindergarten kids at the colourful playground actually told us "Don't scare my friend!" and we were like uh oh are we THAT intimidating?! I think because we were all very much taller than them and were shouting and screaming alot when we were camwhoring on the wobbly metal bar.
which reminds me- SUMO UPLOAD THE PHOTOS PLEEEEEEEASE!
We video-ed the four guys dancing our mass dance on the wobbly suspension bridge where wayne kept losing his balance, benlow wanted to cheat, sumo looked pretty steady and austin looked like a stone on a shaky pile of wood. :D we sang for them okay and we sang very VERY well.
After that us girls also had to dance in public too so we went near the cycling path where there were loads of big trees at the side and we started doing bollywood. After we danced then viva la SIVA came along, so we made him do a forfeit for being ultra late- he danced the mass dance and we also did the rain AND sun dance for the fun of it :D
After take 5 we went to lido to have lunch + watch BENJAMIN BUTTON with the rest of the MRians. The show was really nice but the drawback was that it was so long that anyone'd inevitably fall asleep. I fell asleep thrice and siva was like "oh no wonder so quiet lah!". So in my row we had siva sitting at the edge where we both plonked our barang barang at the aisle, then me, ahma, tricia, willette, alaric, waiky and alina. AH VERY COOL SEATING ARRANGEMENT.
I think wilz and tricia got the worst because they were crammed right in between two groups of extremely noisy people who say all sorts of anti-climax things during the movie, and waiky's crazy THOMSON PLAZA OLD LADY story which made us go crazy during one part of the movie which was supposed to be extremely sad!
Rushed back to school for O'night after that, had a whale of a time camwhoring and laughing at each other being nerds/preps, camwhored so much that the photos and videos are still spamming my camera, then went to thomson prata house for a late dinner! :) lathiga was super amused and fascinated by wayne and benlow's uhhhhhh LOVE and their synchro actions, she swapped places with willette to sit directly opposite them and started taking alot of photos of them with my camera O_O and having to listen to sumo's extremely funny jokes! haha wish we could've spent longer time with MR03 on O'night. Ah well. :)
YEP I'M DONE.
MR03 O'CD I LOVE YOUUUUUUU THE BEST EVER!
