The Orientation Week

So we slept at 1.30am, 1.30am, 2am, 2.30am, 2am, 3am, and then 6AM!!!!

I was just referring to my orientation week at UPM from 2/9/2012 - 8/9/2012 (or maybe 9?)

Basically, orientation weeks were full of taklimats. But what amazed me is that, when we enter the dewan besar, where all the new students (session 2012/2013) gather for the taklimats, cheer wars broke out. Every colleges shout their cheers, displaying a super-duper-high spirit to let people know which college they're from and they're proud of it.

And so we practiced our cheers as well. Only consisting of around 130+ people, and only having maybe 40+ boys, our cheers can't really be heard among all the others actually. I'm not saying that we should compare ourselves to Kolej Sepuluh (K10), where it consists of all boys (around 200+ i guess??), but i guess we doesn't have the spirits within ourselves. To be honest, at first I was just satisfied at looking at other colleges trying their best in the cheers war, just sit there looking at them made me feel refreshed. But somehow, come to think of it, what if I, no, WE are in their shoes, doing our best and let the others look at us, feel jealous towards us, that feeling wasn't that bad huh? ;)


I read this on Facebook some other day before starting my Uni life : When you get into university, forget about all your pasts. The others doesn't know who you are, they don't know what kind of a person were you before that, so change yourself. Transform into a new person, a better person, and things will change itself.
So I did. Well, before this, I aren't that kind of person who would voluntarily go and talk to some strangers whom I've never met or talk to before. But yeah, I changed myself. I took the initiative to make new friends, and now, I get at least two close friends with me. I didn't volunteer to be the ketua aras actually, but since the facilitator has already locked her eyes on me, so I went to the front with no doubt.

Thus, in the ice breaking session for the Moral Slot, where we were divided into two groups, A and B, where group A is supposed to surround Group B in a circle (that means there were two circles there! If you don't understand, yeah I admit that I'm bad at explaining it :P) , and we were supposed to go around in circle within the group either in clockwise or anti-clockwise direction (in our case, my group, group A is going in the anti-clockwise direction), and when the Faci asked us to stop, we'll have to get to know the person standing in front of us, there I talked to a guy.
 He told me : " It looks like you're that kind of person who are good in leading people. " and " Are you an active person (joining a lot of school activites and so on) ? "
So to his surprise, I said no. Well, at least I'm not when I was in school.. (But that doesn't mean that I admit that I'm good at being a leader now. No I'm not, my leadership skills sucks actually.)
So that's how he saw me as a person, and I guess others see me in that way too. Hence, it really makes a difference when you take the initiative yourself to go and meet new people, to gain more experience, and to make more memories :) 

By the way, I've learned something new actually. When the Faci asked us to go and meet new friends and take their details (name, hobby, where were you from etc. ) , that was the only thing in my mind. My job is to memorize the details they gave me, so that when the Faci asked me to repeat why they've said, I can answer it well.
And so after I finish talking with the same guy, all I was thinking was : " Alright, I've memorized his name, birthday, hobby, where did he came from, his family members etc etc. I will have no problem answering the questions if the Faci asked me about him. "
But the last thing he told me before we separate actually surprised me, kinda like taken aback by his words : " Anything else you want to know more about me, just asked me later, since we're in the same lecture. "

Yeah, I was wrong. I forgot the main purpose of this ice breaking game is not for us to give the correct answers to the questions asked by the Faci, but it is for us to meet new people, make new friends, make lifelong friends, well at least we can say Hi to each other when we met somewhere in the campus later on.
It doesn't matter if you gave the wrong answer, because that's not what it is all about.
So to the guy named Wai Loon, thank you very much, for realizing me. :) 


About the last day, where all of us slept at 6am, a lot of unexpected things happened. Things that shouldn't really happen to us, to anyone else. But since we promised that we would grow stronger after this, let's not disappoint those who put their hopes in us, alright? ;)


Oh Yeah, my roommate is a 2nd-year senior taking Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), and she's from my hometown!! Yay, how amazing was that!!! :D:D:D
So Bentong people, u guys rock!!!!! =D

Today is our first day having lectures. Woke up at 6am for a class that starts at 8am. Reached the faculty at 7.25am, found our Dewan Kuliah after walking here and there. By the way, the bus services here in UPM is fabulous, so thank you for the great services UPM bus drivers!! =D

And we spend our first day getting into classes and familiarize ourselves with this new place. I guess I should really mentioned your names here, shouldn't I?  :)
So this is for Wooi Kien, Jia Xin, Suet Mei & Wai Loon, thanks for being together all the time during the day, and even if  we didn't have much topic to talk about today, we still have some good times together didn't we? ;)    ( I guess they wouldn't be able to see this post at all, since I'm such a secretive person muahaha xD)


That's all I guess? It's already 1am now, and I have class at 8am. Goodnight then =)
