Pre Orientation

EDITED*

Oh I found this cool website that shows a video of NJC 2007 mass dance.

It's nicer than some of VJ's in my opinion, but they copied alot of the moves from high school musical. And also, they only have one mass dance every year while ours is like a tradition. Haha, oh and a warning. I think something is wrong with the fruit punch sold in school. I've had diarhoea for the pass two days. And the only new food in school is the fruit punch. So beware. Haha.

I went for training today. It’s been quite a while since I’ve gone for training. Even a week is considered long. I think my views and feelings towards training have changed quite a bit. I read back at my past entries and see my passion and what not for the sport, the desire to improve and the want to be part of the team. I guess part of what I wanted back than has been achieved. And of course, some other parts of what I had back then, I’m losing or have already lost. Like seriously, it’s hard for me to be like how I was back than, given the situation I’m in now. Today’s training really opened my eyes. The talk that was given before training started was both motivating and inspiring. But throughout the course of training, those motivating words more or less disappeared for me. I mean action speaks louder than words, and I don’t know. Sometimes what you want isn’t what you get. I’m quite sick of bitching about this topic so I shan’t even start. All I know is my body is aching a bit now and I’ve yet to blog about orientation!

Orientation was fun, but I think it would have been more fun if I had not expected so much. A few of us stayed over at Tina’s house the night before so that we could go to school together the next day. Oh and the group of us celebrated Darren’s birthday earlier in the day. I had to drag myself to Tampinese Mall rather early in the day because YY didn’t want to be left alone with Amanda and Zhi Wen. Well, at least I ended up buying my new red converse shoes! (:

We went to East Coast Park to celebrate Darren’s birthday. It was sort of like a pot luck picnic. I brought drinks, haha; cause I thought there would be training that day. We sat around and ate and watched Aaron get harassed by this two Malay children whom I’m pretty sure had an uneducated mother because they were running around shouting vulgarities in dialects and only left when someone threatened to call the cops.




Audrey brought a tent for kicks.


And Aaron decided to give birth in it. Haha.



It was getting quite boring, so we left for Darren’s house to cut the cake and ended up playing mah-jong for the rest of the day.


The cake ended up being rather smushed because we had lugged it all the way from TM to ECP to Dar's house.




Everyone seemed to enjoy it nevertheless, looks isn't everything. Lol.

When I got home, I felt a bit feverish. However, I still went to Tina’s house anyway because I didn’t want to be wandering around lost in school the next day. We played even more mah-jong at Tina’s house but I had to call it quits after a while because I felt worse. So I went to take some panadol and rested for a while. I managed to get better at around 1.00 plus in the morning where a few of them were still going strong with their game of bridge. Vanessa, Louis and I just lied around on the sofa talking random stuff until it was time to sleep. The house rule was that girls and guys had to be on separate levels. So I took the sofa on the third story with Louis and Zong.

Woke up rather early the next day and there was like this mad rush in the morning. We had to shower and eat and get to school by 7.30. We were almost late so Tina’s parents ended up fetching us in different cars. Haha, okay, I’m tired all of a sudden so I’ll blog about orientation tomorrow. For now, let me leave you with some of the 3G Gathering pictures that I finally got from Andy and May Yee.
