Orientation day again? Fun le!

Freaking tired wey! Today was the orientation (more like torture session) for all SPU first year student.. So bright n early on a Saturday morning (deprive us of our sleep!), we had to get out from the bed (although the bed is freakishly bising with every turn u make, even a slight 1, it’s still heaven after a long day of schooling) with grunts n moans (ni sudah terlebih!) then get our asses into the shower n then we’ll be vy vy awake cos the water is so freakishly cold (imagine ice… lots n lots of ice). Actually all that are just exaggerated version. It’s more like woke up at 5.55(oh yes 5 mins make a difference), then go like oh shit! Gonna be late! Then grab all toiletries, blur blur de (cos glasses not worn, still no door bumping incident) enter shower, touch cold water ny go like tis is a bad idea! But wat to do? Quickly bathe then get out feeling fresh but shivering. Haiyo! Dramaticnya!

So as usual la, had my breakie which consist of a glass of milo with some biscuits (bread in Sabah not only expensive, so hard some more! how to buy?). That’s like my normal breakie here everyday. I can imagine pei jun now saying, good la. Since u like biscuits n breads so much! Anyway, went down bus stop all to meet with our group’s facilitators. So my group was group 6 with Kenneth Lee n Ng Chee Guan, our 2nd year senior as our facilitators. Luckily they are super nice ppl who helped us out throughout the day. Will talk about that later la. Tell now bo syok lo. Then it was like back to MSM week, jalan la all the way to our beloved SPU (weekend oso have to go there. Haiyo!). Walk la for ten minutes or so, sampai selamatly.

Then we enter our normal classroom, Hippocrates for introductory session. There we were asked to introduce ourselves including names, where were we from n most importantly… STATUS!! Haiyo. At 1st planning to say something stupid wan. Something like we belong to the SAA club, the single n available club. But last minute chickened out. Hahaha. Dah la make a fool out of myself saying single dah, now wanna say always a member of SAA club lagi la paise! Hahahaha. After ppl think I so desperate tak boleh tahan nak cari boyfren. But then again, who cares what others think(I do)? Just be happy n contented in every situations we r in la. Some funny introductory includes some1 confessing they r virgins (What?), then ppl claiming they r from Sabah, then suddenly my name became some other ppl’s name (Paise le!!). After breakie provided, change of clothes n shoes (thank goodness I changed shoes), let the games begin.

Lemme bring u on a tour of wat I went thru together with all my classmates (most of them anyway) all day long. Well there was 8 stations. First up I got wat I would call the Kunyit group. C la first group d get kunyit le! So said came late n dunno names of the ppl at the stations. Kena la first splash of kunyit. Then after that came the eggs. Thank goodness I was not squashed here. Hahahaha. Then we were asked to form a line with any clothings we had on to form a straight line from 1 tree to another. So we first think shoes n clothes good enuf la. Some even took out their socks! We thought that we will be off the hook if we finished the task. How wrong were we! Came la the gayung carrying the kunyit, dimasukkanlah ke dalam kasut2 semua orang. Now u kno y it’s a good thing I changed my shoes! Kalau tak my VKI kena le! Kee Nam was in my group n started from 1st station itself, he got ragged from starting till the end. But he took it like a man la. Unlike another fellow who were like acting sick whole day. Guy some more. Guess he has his reasons. Then lastly we left our first station with kunyit on clothes, on face, as well as water colour painted on our faces. Some who were ‘lucky’, got eggs la. Unfortunately our eggs got taken away n smashed by the station operator. We were shocked. So terasa nak marah! Tapi apa nak buat? Tahan sajela! After saying thank u(have to say thank u some more), pegi la 2nd station wit the clue given.

2nd station was situated behind the Edward Genner Lab, which is the car park. Here we thought it would get better. Tapi all hopes gone to vain. Kena la lagi. First task remember la all their names which was modified to test how good our memories were. Macam tahu I like Dory in Finding Nemo suffer from short term memory loss wan! Haiyo! Then got asked some how to say ahr? Some interesting questions n interesting tasks to perform. Macam acting like a mom who lost her child, laugh but cry at the same time, act like 5 diff kinda animals etc. N again I was not told to do anything.I dunno y don ask me. Next up ask us dip our hands into a pail full of disgusting stuff, 1 of them eggs la. Then play the throw water balloon to the person behind u without looking back. Hand so slippery so pecah la 2 balloons yang dibekalkan. Kena la lagi. Then I dunno y or how every single 1 got an egg cracked on top of their heads. I somehow got away with it. I dunno la. I so besar how to hide rite? Told Michelle n all they say u too tall d la. Wanna crack egg susah la sikit. Hahahaha. Be4 we left we were asked to show our amanat, as in the egg we cracked. So cakap la pecah n all. They don wanna give clues. Some more 1 of the station ppl vy kerek, tak boleh tahan! Tapi tahan la juga. Finally got our clues, proceed to 3rd station.

Next station I would say is a vy fun n interesting station. I’ll name it the Bollywood station or as they call it the amanyeh (I dunno the spelling la!). Here as u can c the name la, we were asked to dance to Bollywood tunes la. Bo le chu de ya for example la. So typical Bollywood movies la, run here n there, hide here n there, then suddenly out of nowhere meet up, dance together la. Not ejeking Bollywood movies here, cos I do like Bollywood movies. Hahahaha. I kno I’m weird, whoever said I was normal? But 1 thing diff about this dance, we were thrown flour la, some weird smelling water. Later pula got drawn on the face. Again? Patut la came back with a pimple on the face. Hahahaha. But we did have loads of fun in this station. Get to dance around like crazy ppl is not wat u can do everyday although occasionally I do do that without realizing it. Oops! Oh well. Then off to next station.

Here was kinda far from the previous station. Here we played 2 games. 1 was something like u try to guess a word without saying the word to other ppl (Get the idea?) while 2 was the game where it’s the bring a few ppl over the ‘river cum ocean’ to the island but with condition this fellow cannot together with the other fellow n all la. But then rite we were required to crawl through shallow water to get to the other side as we had to act it out. Gals were slightly more lucky cos we could duck walk instead of crawling. I think loads of guys got cuts n bruises here. Tapi akhirnya semua selesai, cari la clue then pegi lo. Here it was not so tension la n station ppl were oso nice to us. So all’s good.

This station was just on top of the station be4, after climbing up like 3 floors of stairs la. Here I would call it the IQ station as they ask questions n we ppl have to jawab la. Tapi setelah so many months never study, my mind practically went blank after every question! I really did freak out for a moment. Went like cham lo! How to study later??? But push that all aside, continue with the game la. Here got a cute lil heart written on my face with PERMANENT MARKER PEN!! So hard to wash it off! But okie la I got a small heart only. But Kee Nam was not so lucky as he got 2 on his face which was not so good in its meaning la. Kinda felt sorry for him but wat could I do rite? Then dance oso for tis station station. Did break dance with addition of some bollywood moves, some contemporary moves, then some dunno wat kinda funny poses moves. Hahaha. All oso SS-syok sendiri! Hahahaha. Then leave the station after watching Kee Nam(again?) do catwalk. Not the runway catwalk u kno. But is the cat walk catwalk u kno! So after witnessing human cat walk, ciao to place where u can find spaghetti as well as shark fin. That’s wat they wrote on the clue la! It’s the cafeteria! (I kno.. I got the same reaction u guys r having now.)

So here is the passing the rubber band using straw game station. Of cos la sure got twist n turns here n there. I’ve got no ideas wat they put on our hands. According to them it’s just flour mixed with water. So it is super super sticky. Like glue like that. Then got painted again, this time on the hand. While we were passing straws we had to ans questions n all some more. So talk without letting ur rubber band fall la. But then Kee Nam as he played this game so many times d taught us how to pass d rubber band quickly. So in 1 min time we managed to pass 25 rubber bands from person no 1 to person no 10. Not bad, not bad at all. Hahahaha. Then as we finished fast we had to dance a kk dance. Not traditional dance. Just a song famous here. It was so cute u kno. Oh yea, Teng Siew was chosen to be the victim in our team as they put all the sticky stuff on his head! Cannot imagine wey! Nothing much to elaborate. Next station…

So this station is situated far far away from most station. The place there scenery vy nice n all. But then by the time u’re done with this station, u become brown man/lady n oso fingers will look like the corpse we saw d other day. Wat else? Play mud la. Guys were required to wrestle (yes real wrestle!) at the mud. Dah la mud so slippery n all rite? Kee Nam even knocked his head n all. Girls on the other hand did swimming lo. I even went a mile further did mud angel! Hahahaha. Snow angel now mud angel la. Gila d that time. But this station the people were nice la. Funny thing I din get smashed with egg or mud all over face oso. Hahahaha. I kno I’m lucky. Hahahaha. But really had loads of fun here although Jeremy did injured his leg here, had a cut. He was so apologetic said he brought the mood down n all. Although we got all dirty here, it was fun. Oh c’mon! How often do u get to dip urself in mud? Oh yea. Ask u a trivial question asked by the seniors. What’s the name of Hippocrates’ brother? Dunno le. It’s hippopotamus! Y u kno? Cos we played with mud like the hippo lo! (‘.’)”’ Hahahaha.

Last station. Run all the way to Ibn Sina area. We were so happy to play with water here as we were all muddy d. Dah la mud oso masuk dalam seluar! I can’t help it that my pants r loose okie? So when we saw they were splashing us with water we were ecstatic! Seriously! Like Africans who have not had water for a long long time. Hahahaha. We were required to stay in a small circle in wateva creative position that we want. So I got the bending down rite in the centre position. Mana tau water splash from above! All my frens’ mud all kena me la! Haiyo! Then we were asked to transfer water from 1 end to the bottle at the other end. Then kena scolding la. No teamwork! Nv use ur brain to think! Kena la everything. Tahan.. tahan. It’s okie la. How often we can get scolding from seniors? Then we had the worst meal in history ever! Dirty la. Our hands were oso tied to the person next to us. Then we were ordered to finish everything there. There was bread, sardine, tomato paste, bitter gourd, onions etc. So hard to eat raw onions le! Eeww! Our faci was so nice to help us finish the jam! The jam that will make all of us diabetic cos it was so sweet! Oh yea our faci oso danced for us in another station. They oso berkomplot with us to steal egg cos our amanat eggs pecah! So we were vy lucky to get the 2 faci. Hahahaha. This station was okie la just that they kept threatening us say wanna potong markah n all la. It gets quite irritating at times but what to do? Then over la. Off to Galen for lunch!

When we reached Galen to wash up, the girls bathroom was practically flooded! So muddy n so smelly becos of the eggs! Then pegi la keluar makan. After makan nak la pegi ambik beg. Manatau so many seniors there. Dah la muddy, wet n sweaty with a stench on us. Paise le! Haiyo made me wanna say hi or simple hello oso susah! Cos malu ma. Oh well tebalkan muka oso la pegi cakap hi. Hahahaha. So said hi to a few seniors la. Talked to the first ever senior I talked to on the first day I entered spu, Tim. Malu betul la meet him again in such a manor! Everytime meet him aure in a state of mess wan. Think back oso paise. Oh well. What’s done is done la. Dah buruk dah image, cannot turn back time oso la! Haihz… But Timothy was vy nice as to help us fetch our bags back to hostel. Although he so wanna fetch us balik tapi we oso kno our limits la. Wreck his car after he promised to help him not so good la. So jalan la balik hostel. It was a good thing tim was willing to fetch our stuffs back, cos when we walked it started raining heavily. But seriously malu la cos this is the 2nd time asked him to help. Like beh paise saje! Malu la lagi…

After balik mandi all la. Then further details tak payah la tau. Macam mana mandi, macam mana cuci baju all. The process was too long to be narrated. If tell oso u all tertidur kang susah dah la tis post so freaking long! Enuf la for this post. Till the next post! Now got talk on JPA la. Muacks u guys! :*
