Hey thr. Finally found some time to blog le.
Well, Y1 Orientation's finally over. & now, i feel as free as a fat man who's unbuckled his jeans and allowed his tummy to sag freely in the wind. Lol, weird description.
Honestly, I didnt really enjoy doing this project. Simply cuz it took up most fo my hols and even curriculum time. Like when everyone was happily at home on new year's eve and xmas eve, my comm and I were out buying logistical items and ordering stuff. Srsly, sourcing for cost effective items isnt easy at all. Had to chiong hw too cuz thr really wasnt rly time for me to complete it during th hols. & this week was basically th actual orientation, at the cost of me missing math and staring at dy/dx with all stupidity. Calculus, i shall pawn you someday! Someday.
On the brighter side, it was nvrtheless rather successful. In a sense tht the Y1s were uber enthu with all their loud cheers and rather lively mass dance, save for a few. Haha, all of a sudden, mass dance catches up with the Y1s. I still trying to master Y5 mass dance! Hopefully sy dosent ask me to go teach or demo!
Anw, th games were srsly nt bad. Haha, they rly enjoyed them as seen in the way they play the games like they hve nvr played games before. Overwhelming enthusiasm! Red Carpet was great but campfire didnt rock as much. No lights at grandstand, turned off parents, heck care audience, small fire. Cyrus and eugene, cheer up! (no, they werent th organisers lah).
Overall, thr were some minor cock-ups and last minute arrangements. Still rmbr visiting all toilets to check for working showers with Desmond last night so Y1s can bathe. & zunsiong desperately trying to buy and gather masking tapes for games. We were all really stretched, like rubberbands and maybe compressed springs. We really cld hve exploded, srsly. Rly wish I had someone to talk to to rant abt it during th past few days. Zq, thanks!
All in all, it was a phenomenal experience with both it's pros and cons and i'd really like to thank the following ppl:
1. Desmond: You were great, Mr Stress...Stress Chairman! Preparation thru execution. Haha, not many cock-ups, and you really did a great job with this Orientation from planning to instructing and implementing. I would have crumbled under all that stress if I were you, man. Don't be shy luhh...
2. Wei Liang: Your minutes and one-man-tank-all attitude was rly rly awesome (though not really good for you). Thanks alot for helping with the minutes and manpower allocation and briefings and flow of programmes and i/c-ing for overnight camp and much more! Great job!
3. Logistics Committee: You guys were really great. Like really, From spending time receeing for cheap stuff to coming back on new year's eve to pack oriention pkg. You guys were indeed dedicated to your jobs. Still rmbr Jieying (Pang) getting excited over finding cheap masking tapes and sebastian surveying for affordable carabiners with me and chikan till at night. & everyone packing things tgt. You guys rock! Well, hope you guys will keep up with the good attitude and take away some learning point frm this first project of yours. Best of luck with your future council projects! & did I mention I really enjoyed working with you guys?
4. PSLs and SCs: Thanks alot for hyping up the Year1s like never before. Havent seen such immense enthusiasm from the student body since I joined RV. G DOUBLE O D JOB, GOOD JOB, GOOD JOB! Still rmbr shijing leading the whole cohort in a cohort cheer. Hiong-ster! & thanks alot for helping to carry out the instructions and guiding the Year1s in their induction into the RV environment.
5. Kimberly: Your photos were srsly hilarious! Thanks for doing up the video. It was great (alright, i know my vocab v pathetic) esp the ahem slide! :x
6. Zhi Xiang and mass dance comm: You guys certainly helped them to enjoy mass dance! Awesome feat in RV, I'd say! And thanks for all that butt shaking, i-am-so-sexy dance moves, zhixiang. Really entertaining.
7. Last but definitely not the least, RVPA: Thanks alot for helping out with the technical stuff even if it meant that you had to skip lessons or come back during your holidays. You guys really really rocked my socks off. Esp for campfire when you all lugged the heavy equipment and all that to help set up for campfire. Thanks alot ppl!
8: Oh oh! Wait, thr's one more: Zhen Qin: Thanks alot for the cheers and encouragements aft the whole thing, bro! It really meant alot (esp when I'm all down and negative abt it). It was a pleasant surprise since as I figured out no one would really notice anyway. Was really dying to rant everything on you during the pas week but I figured out you mght hav been busy. Oh, thanks for helping to buy the present! Otherwise, I'd be really stressed. Next time, shall find you when I needa talk, just as you offered! You do the same too yea?
The end. Haha, I bet you were waiting for it like crazy. Haha, omg, this can be my commonwealth essay, man... so long!
