Day 2
hmm... have some mixed feelings bout today. woke up in kind of a daze today morning as if u'd only just lied down on ur bed a moement ago so felt incredibly sleepy and to a certain extent, grumpy (i'm pretty susceptible to the early morning blues). slept almost the whole trip on the bus there and when i got into the auditorium it looked like almost everyone is feeling the same.
a talk on college ethos and expectations later which i didn't really agree with the DM but well, i was dozing off halfway through his talk anyway.
soon the activities started started and we had the over-used amazing race. thankfully by then i was out of the funk and started to get a li'l into the orientation. first thing was charades, but we had to get passer-bys to stop and guess what we're doing. i did singapore idol which was easy (i did the careless whisper move) but failed in my 3 attempts to stop a passer-by. needed help from classmates later to get a passer-by to stop. i'm just too shy at these times
then we tried to squeeze some extra points out of the station and the sc manning it said to perform or sth on the platform for others. so i juggled and we did that for the rest of the day at every station we went to and earned points... haha... kinda funny
the next few stops were pretty 'un-blog-worthy' so i'd just skip past them. after that was og time and we had to plan for a performance on og night. after some discussions and as usual mine of doing something simple like singing simple songs the group settled on a skit 'portraying stereotype students'. in the end i had to act in the 'sportsmen' group. wonder how it'd turn out tml in the auditions. i think some of the more enthusiastic people might have been irritated by my attitude then, but well, that's me, always trying to find the easiest way out and get over and done with things
finally it was a long, long mass dance session. i still feel like i've two right feet (i'm left footed =p) but was kinda glad when i managed to catch up with the music even though i still make so many mistakes and prolly look so awkward and stiff. but kinda fun to a certain extent until it got pretty tiring... dancing's tough!
day's over, and had dinner with lymon and aaron. we'd prolly have lots of dinners together for the next 3 months. overall i felt the day was much, much better than yesterday (to which both of them concurred as well) but today i think i thought way too much as usual at times when there's nothing to do, making me a li'l moody sometimes. at least i'm feeling much better now.
not exactly looking forward to tml cos it's wet games but still, i'd try to have fun again. i've prolly shook off what i was thinking so should be more relaxed to have a gd time. after all, there's not many orientation activities lined up after tml so i'd look forward to that ^^
