oh man i'm freakin' dead tired. i don't even know if i can drag myself out of bed for tomorrow's barely-there Hatters' Outing. *sigh* ok, i know some people *cough* are dying to know all the details of my 3-day Orientation @ NYP, so i shall cut the crap. 1st day, 030407 walked/crept/shuffled hesitantly into the great big doors of NYP at 9am. [that means i had to wake up at 7am, which was almost impossible for someone like me who had been waking at like 10am for the past 2 months] fear, hesitation, doubt, uncertainty etc, you fill in the emotional blanks, all whirling and swirling around in my stomach, accompanied by monstrous multiplying butterflies. yay. i had almost gotten lost in the next 5 min because i forgot where we "freshies" were supposed to assemble, had it not been for a phone call from oneof my OGLs. else i might have ended up wandering around for the next 5 hours or something. yay. like an automaton robot, i got a nice neon sticker with the words "DMD10" and arms stretched to take the "goodybag", i walked into the next room and almost backed out. because it was like, 2/3 full, and everyone was seated on the ground while i was standing at the entrance gawking like a stunned dear in headlights. yay. fast forwarding past the longish language, now it was time to get to know the rest of the OG. guys were obviously outnumbering girls here 3:2, no surprise since it was DMD after all. i can't say that i enjoyed the 1st day much, prolly because everyone were pretty much strangers, and well, we weren't exactly very verbal. except Matilda and Aida, who were chatty enough. 'sides that, the 1st day atmosphere was pretty much drained and strained and awkward and confusing. and quiet. *sigh* some people who managed to catch me before i dropped dead the night on the 1st day asked how come i dint talk; i was like, DUH, how do you talk to people you don't know? especially when majority were guys, and they were prolly gamer pros or something, and that was something i could not relate to. me being a game n00b and such. the girls were also keeping to themselves, save Matilda and Aida, who were friendly enough. but when i was asked that, and i responded like that, i suddenly felt like the excuse i had given was sorely pathetic. what sort of reason was that for not talking? even Mel was like, 'just be your hyperactive * * self!' after that, i started asking myself, did i seriously want to wait for other people to start opening up to me before i did? if everyone were to think that way, we'd never get anywhere. the last thought i had before i collapsed was a resolve to talk to every single person in the OG on the 2nd day. so yay for my supposed enthusiastic resolve then. 2nd day, 040407 the weather was lovely. and ZOMG something took hold of me and i seriously tried talking to everyone! well, ok, mebbe i cheated at times by just addressing the general group or whoever happened to be near me, but hey, the thought does count! i know i have pretty low self-esteem, and i don't really have the confidence to strike up conversations with total strangers, but i found out it was actually pretty easy. ok, mebbe not that easy, like sometimes you don't get responses and you find yourself grasping at awkward silences, but oh well, least i tried. that counts for something i guess. but the games we played helped pretty much to up team morale and spirit and together-ness. yay. oh and we just about OWNED every single game. so there! oh yeah, our OG group has now become the Coconut. why? because it was random. and it's going to be our name for the entire year. *faints* not that i mind, practically every other group has a food for a name anyway, but there was one that sounded not halfbad, Metaflight. plus their banner so ROXORES. *envy envy* it's entirely in black and white, but it's got the graphic elements that make it so attractive. but the sad thing was that we had to stay back even after Orientation officially ended for the day because we had a banner/signboard thing to design and paint and a skit to plan and rehearse. ended up leaving NYP at 9+pm, ZOMG. and of course, reached home 2/3 dead. 3rd day, 050407 well, that was today. everyone barely got sleep, because we had a midnight mass-con, and we still had to arrive at like 8am to finish the damn banner/signboard thing. it was the Grand Finale, and everyone had to put up their skits, showcase their boards and do their group cheer. i think Coconut was pretty awesomeness, our skit was hilarious enough with Shuiran crossdressing as the Sleeping Beauty, complete with fake boobies and sleeping because of a cursed durian and i'm rambling again. although we didn't win in the end, our somewhat-there-together-ness was worth the effort we put in. :D yay. i'm still having doubts and uncertainties about the new school term up ahead, but i'm glad i dint miss Orientation. i have a feeling, that mebbe, just mebbe, i'll be able to fit in. and that's another yay. |

Just your average human specimen wanting to be something more. Also has an absurd fondness for potatoes and shoes, among other things.
