7th April
Woke up at 6am and left home at 7. The trip was smooth, no traffic jam. In the end, reached Temasek Poly in record time, 8am. The orientation don't start till 9. So, I just sat near the sports complex, feeling very out of place.
The GLs were "high", for a lack of better word. I found out that there as only 2 representatives from my secondary school... The other person was a friend during the lower secondary days. But, we were put into different empires. There were 5 empires, Accion, Fyrtho, Komez, Phantos and Venos. Komez was my empire. The number of freshmen joining this orientation was large, about 600. Anyway, we played ice-breakers, learnt cheers and be acquainted with each other. I can't remembered much.
After lunch, which was alright, we went out, in our sub-empires, of campus to play games. The game was to let us be more familiarised with the neighbourhood. I don't think that helped much, seeing as we were just rushing here and there to complete the game. We were released at 7 without dinner. I was so tired, sweaty, and hungry.
The sports hall was HOT, to put it bluntly. The fans prove to be of no use, at all.
8th April
My father was going to Changi so he can drive me there. The number of people who came today was almost half of yesterday. I went because we were going to learn the school song, hand-sign song and mass dance. The hand sign part was difficult. I can't remember any moves.
I like the mass dance, in which we have to partner with the opposite sex and dance. The school song was fun too.
Since it was raining, which was great, we can't go out to play the games. Instead, we played the modified version inside campus. There was performance night that night. It was OK, I supposed.
After dinner, we were dismissed.
I did not go on the 3rd day because I had enough. Besides there will be water games and I dislike those.
This is basically the orientation organised by the student union.
