Hello. Today was Day 2 of the Business School Orientation. It was also the final orientation day for all first year students at TP. We had our annual Regatta in the evening, and there was some big shot Head of something guy from the government who was coming to watch it.In my opinion, this day was a much more slack day compared to yesterday. We went gathered in some lecture theater once we got to school, then we listened to Darryl David talk. Yes, the Darryl David. The one who hosted The Pyramid Game. This guy:
Of course, he looks much older now. He seems kinda strict. Really particular about punctuality and all. Also, he made several mean comments about fat people wearing revealing or tight clothes. In my opinion, fat people can wear whatever they want, as long as they are confident wearing it.
After being introduced to the staff and all, we were dismissed and we just had breakfast outside the LT. After that, we headed to some computer lab to meet our Care Person, Mrs Felicia Nah.
Before all that, one thing about the computers in the TP computer labs. Why are the screens so freakin small? If I spread out my palm, it can cover then entire screen.
What gives TP? Not enough funds? You can afford a huge, multi level, air conditioned library with thousands of books and audio visual stuff in it, but you cannot afford decent sized computer screens?
Anyways, we just sat in the computer lab for a while and listened to Mrs Nah talk, then she handed out some important stuff to us, like our matriculation cards, and out student guides. She seems like a nice, un-strict and funny woman. Which is great.
After meeting our CP, we had lunch, which was the same chicken rice as yesterday. It's not bad, but it sucks that I didn't get any cucumbers while everyone else got them. I don't love cucumbers or anything, but at least that way there will be a bit of variety to my meal.
Most of the class was gone by then. Either taking part in one of the three activities I mentioned yesterday, or gone home. The few of us that remained headed down to the sports complex to cheer our school's mass dancers on.
This part of the day was ****ing screwed. Business is a large school, second largest in TP to be exact. So not everyone could fit into the cool shade of the spectator stand. Obviously, we weren't part of that lucky group.
We had to sit under the scorching sun, on the running track, and we had to cheer at the same time. As if I am not already dark enough. Halfway through, I got forced into the making noise with rubbish crew. I just kinda clapped my hands and cheered for a while.
As soon as we started moving off to Bedok Reservoir, I sneaked back to my class. Turns out more people left, and there were only four of us left there.
It was much better once we got into the reservoir. The shade of the trees, as well as the giant tents put up for us, blocked out most of the sun's rays. Definitely a welcomed relief.
A whole bunch of stuff happened at the Regatta. Several dragon boat races, cheer leading competition, best cheer competition, and a performance by Singapore's number one wake boarder.
Eventually Business School won, for the fifth consecutive year. As Andrew put it, we probably won because we were the most enthusiastic school there. Most of the other schools didn't even bother. Engineering school is much stronger than Business in terms of numbers, but they didn't do a thing to try and beat us.
So of course, we did the school song and all, and if I'm not wrong, there were a few encores, but most of the Business School people just left after it was announced that we won.
There was the annual Jam and Hop after that. It's basically just a dance night. Having already gone through that during the FOC, I decided to give it a miss. Hundreds of sweaty people dancing in a stuffy hall after a long day of activities doesn't exactly sound very appealing.
Anyways, I had friends to meet :D
Just slacked at Coffee Bean at Tiong Bahru plaza for a while. Talked a lot of crap, and just laughed a lot in general. Got forced to cam whore with them. Of course, you will never see those photos.
It would be great if it could go on being like that. Unfortunately, fate isn't kind. Still, what's done, or at least what is about to happen, cannot be undone, and we just got to keep moving on with life. We'll hang out like that every holiday when you are back :D
By the time I got home I was really tired. Still, I had enough stamina left for some DotA. Also, the new Naruto and Bleach chapters are out. I'm uploading some pages. Click to enlarge.
This weeks Naruto was kinda boring actually. All talk, and no action. I have a feeling that it's going to be this way for a while. Some pages:
Nagato attacks Naruto.
Instead of dodging the attack, Naruto lets it hit him.
Naruto is kinda pissed.
He charges towards Nagato, with the intention of killing him.
But Naruto stops, and he listens to Nagato's story.
Nagato's parents were accidentally killed by Konoha ninja during the Ninja War.
Overcome by grief, Nagato's Rinnegan awakens.Bleach, on the other hand, is just getting stupid. We are all familiar with Yammi. He was introduced as Espada 10, and we were all given the impression that he sucked. Most of us just see him as a loser. And now they decide to reveal that he is, in fact, Espada 0, most kick ass of all. Some pages:
I don't get this. It's normal to think of Orihime as you die, but why mention Ichigo?
Even on the verge of death, Ulqiourra is still trying to grope Orihime.
Emo page.
Even more emo page.
Overly emo page.
Rukia, Renji and Chad get ready to take down Yammi.
Yammi unleashes his sword.
The 1 disappears, making Yammi Espada 0, the strongest of all.
Isn't that a little too big?
I'd like to see the three of them get out of this one.Ok, I'm done for today. Thanks for reading. [KOAS KW!!] Ending off, see you tomorrow.
