The first real day of orientation has ended. It was fun!

In the morning when I went to school, there were many new faces around. Most were the O-level girls who had come in only today, same as the ones who went to JC. As expected, being surrounded by boys caused them to stick to each other. Can't blame them right?

And so we went to chapel with some quite awkward silences from normally noisy classes. The girls has been split up into about an average of 6-7 girls per class, and they were sitting among the 18 different classes.

First 3 hours of the day were taken up by briefings. Snore. The 1-and-a-half hour briefing by Dr. Ong was the most draggy and long-winded. Happily we could have a break about an hour after that too (after contact time).

The Orientation Group is still not close, with all of us preferring to stick to our own previous classes or schools. We watched a heritage tour of ACS. Very funny stuff. Then we had a talk by the Director and Student Council President.

Then it was icebreakers. The usual games played -- dog and bone, chicken to rooster, ping pong, thumbs up, that kind of thing. But fun.

Another break.

Telematches. Blow a pea through a straw and it had to break the paper held about 50cm in front of it. Of course, it didn't but they let us continue. Haha.

Then you had to balance a tennis ball on a plastic soup spoon. No hands allowed, but then you know.

Then there was the limbo where you had to bend backwards in order to go under it. Needless to say, some people crawled under instead. In fact, my OG had a councillor who actually lifted the tape for one girl. :O No names will be mentioned of course. (Thank me :P)

The OG sort of loosened up a little by the time of the telematches, so it was more interesting. I just hope they will continue to do so. ;)

Wow this is like the longest post in years I think. Bye!
