Overshadowed..

Today was orientation day two. Was much better than yday.

The first thing in the Morning was 'MAN HUNT!' But it turned out to be some competition where a guy from an Orientation Group (OG) had to go onstage to 'show his muscles' by doing some weird actions.. Then it turned out to be that the judging criteria was 'the amount of arm pit hair'.. The most arm pit hair person wins! It was kinda lame, but it got everyone laughing at the guys' posts! =P

Then it was time for the second guy to go onstage.. And I was chosen.. This time it wasn't for some competition or what - I was elected tribal warrior! =Z Had to lead them in cheering and everything.. So unlike me..

Just before lunch, as we were walking to the canteen, suddenly Wan Ting asked Rui Zhe where he was from.. And suddenly everyone started to go like: "I'm from..".. Yea. and in the end we realised something.. Almost everyone is a foreigner! Partly la.. As in, some ppl change their citizenship.. But it still counts anyway. There's like 4 china ppl (rui zhe, yu chuan, wan ting, jing nan) , 1 korean (Jisoo), 2 hong konger (wai sum, ..), 1 malaysian, 1 japanese (rei), 1 indonesian and 1 taiwanese.. Yea! haha.. sounds nice with so many ppl from diff background. =) and i just found out that yu chuan plays all the chinese games i thought nobody would play. =)

Rei plays soccer, as well as the other SJI guys (Jothi).. Finally someone who can play soccer with me! Or else I'd be stuck with basketballers (Rui Zhe, Jeff) Sounds like it'll be quite a nice time being with these ppl. =)

After lunch, we played "The Trial", and it was during this period of time, everyone started to get very enthu.. As in, Rui Zhe of today and yday were 2 diff people! He cheered till he broke his voice or smth.. Lol. Then OG 27 came up with new cheers! Finally! And the 'hello to station master!' got us a lot of points during the game, although i still dunno what those points are for.. no prizes!

The games had to be stopped halfway 'cause of the bad weather. So our group sat down and talked abt a few things.. With Wei Qi constantly urging us to talk.. =P and then we decided to have dinner after school (although it was decided yesterday). we exchanged numbers too, so that we could keep in touch as an OG even after we split up. i still find the girls and the sji/ victoria guys in our group very quiet.. afterall, they were from single-sex schools. maybe they just need sometime to settle into the new environment i guess. [But girls from other groups are beginning to cheer with their penetrating voices!]

So, after school, all of us went to the Mac nearby to eat. Yu Chuan actually wanted to give it a pass so that he could have his voice back by avoiding fried food. but in the end he gave in and ate mac with us. seems like we foiled his plans. =X we were at mac for about 1.5 hours, talking about various stuff, and particularly, Jeffrey, blabbering about how pathetic his secondary school was. We had a good laugh, and really, we got to understand and find out more about each other. =)

We went to buy the paint brush and then went back home together, though i was the only guy taking mrt to kovan. but everyone started to hug and all.. So warm-hearted! =)
