Hello. Today was Day 1 of the Business School Orientation!! I went to school not know what to expect, but I came home feeling quite satisfied. I was apprehensive about the whole thing. What if it was going to be as hardcore as the Student Union camp?

When I got into the Convention Center, I went to register. I was in class 1C01. I knew quite a few people who were also in CMM, so I was hoping that at least one of them would be in the same class as me.

When I got into the auditorium, which was kinda massive, I was the first person in my class to be there. I met our student leaders. One of them was a senior from our course. He showed me the class list for 1C01. No one I knew.

Soon, more people came and I introduced myself to as many people as possible. We sat there and watched videos and listened to speeches and watched several performances until it was about 12pm. Then the student leaders started asking for volunteers to take part in inter-school events.

There was the Regatta, which was the dragon boat race. There was the cheer leading competition. And there was the group that had to make lots of noise using trash. Forgot what it's called.

Seeing that almost my entire class volunteered to take part in one of the aforementioned events, I didn't have much of a choice but to volunteer as well. Cheer leading was definitely out, and I had no idea what the hell was the other group supposed to do, so I chose to go for the Regatta.

Eventually I wasn't selected because there was an abundance of volunteers. Alright, it's not that I wasn't picked or anything. I'm sure they would have loved having me on the team, especially because of my size and all. I just sort of stood at the back until there were no vacancies left.

By the time I was told that I could go back to my class, my class was no longer there. They were at the sports complex having lunch. I met up with a few other CMM people, and we followed a student leader back to the sports complex.

After lunch, it was time for mass dance!! Mass dance is awesome fun, I already knew that from the FOC. I already more or less knew the dance steps, so I had fun.

TP mass dance is awesome because it's fun, easy to learn and most importantly, it doesn't put you in awkward positions with your dance partner.

For those interested, this is the TP mass dance:

I love the spinning and running part!! Super fun. Looks alright in the video, because there are only a few people dancing. When the whole school is dancing, it is just chaotic fun.

Just so you know, the TP mass dance is almost always followed the chicky dance, and after that we usually do the TP school song. TP has the awesomest school song ever by the way. So fun to sing it!! Video of the school song:

After dancing for about an hour, everyone was tired, and we were all feeling warm, so we proceeded to an air conditioned lecture theater.We played some battle of the sexes game. The programmers for the games decided to use imeem to search for music.

The games were fun. There was a game that required us to blow balloons and burst them by sitting our assess down on them. There was a game that compared which gender was able to cheer louder. And there was a dancing game.

But it was imeem that really stole the show. The projector was turned on, so everything the programmers saw on the computer screen would be projected onto the big screen as well.

At first we were all more focused on the games. Then they played the music video of one of Lady GaGa's songs. Now, we all know that Lady GaGa doesn't like wearing much clothes. We also know that guys cannot help but look at women who aren't wearing much clothes.

So naturally, the guys got a little distracted. Then came the funniest part of the day. The programmers were scrolling down the page, and then two advertisements appeared on the screen. Ads for some porn site. Super funny. What's more, it was uncensored. I almost FOTCL.

After spending a little more than an hour in the blissfully cold room, we were herded back to the sports complex. We just sat there for a while. We were supposed to be meeting our care persons, but since ours wasn't there, we just chatted with our senior.

There was some tug of war game going on in the background. Freshies vs Staff if I'm not wrong. I was only aware of it after the first round was complete. I think we won two rounds, and the staff won one.

Then we all did one last mass dance on the field. Then we did the chicky dance, and finally, we all formed one gigantic circle, large enough to circumscribe the entire running track, and we sang the TP school song.

Then we were dismissed and I went to meet Say Yin and Andrew for dinner. We ate at the stores opposite TP. The food there was surprisingly cheap, and it tasted quite alright too. After dinner we saw the hilarious sight of a fat cat lying on the floor with its feet up, as if it was dead.

My father came to pick me up and he gave both of them a lift. He dropped Say Yin at his house, and Andrew at some bus stop. When I got home I wanted to watch Ninja Warrior, but it turns out that there wasn't any Ninja Warrior.

After that I just used my computer for a bit, and now I am going to sleep. There is still a whole day of orientation left, and I need my energy.

Ok, I'm done for today. Thanks for reading. [KOAS KW!!] Ending off, see you tomorrow.
