Today's finally the orientation, like really. If I had blogged in the morning, chances are the post would have been filled with all the "haha" and "yay". But now, I don't know I'm kind of down- I don't know what was the stimulant this time round though, probably a combination of everything.
Morning started off with the looking-forward element, like YES orientation's gonna be so fun! So I kind of woke up at 530, 1 hour later than what I've intended. Meaning I got to cut short my sleeping time in the bathroom- I always do that. In fact, I didn't sleep at all, but rather, bathed quickly and set off.
Morning was a mixture everything- a little unwell here and there, headache and stomachache and stuff. Then when the J1s started coming in, I got kind of high, so I just went from corner to corner, talked to everyone from every Xcion OGs. Then I played this childhood game of mine with almost every OGLs. Yeap, after that was all the talks and stuff. So I was like restless, walking everywhere. Borrowed Daphne's dad's shades, which I thought my head would be too huge to fit in, but turned out pretty fine.
OG bonding was fine, talked a lot with a lot of people, and I know so many new acquaintances. Haha, I think my cheering is still quite good, and mass dance was fun too.
But today was not exactly a good day.
For one, we were in the upper gallery, and even though we have drum from CO to help in our cheering, the piercing noise from people below (whistle) didn't help things. Yes, I was kind of pissed when everything Xcion did was given secondary recognition. And really, I don't like the whistles! If whistles were used during their cheering I've gotten nothing to say, but when they were spammed just to create noise, it's really irritating. But think again, if we were at the lower gallery, would our drum have a similar irritable effect? Perhaps it's just my selfish thought. I still wanna win the orientation so much (ever since I saw the recognition given to every achievement in the annual year book thing).
For two, the guys in my OG were kind of quiet, and not participative. Somehow, I've forcefully managed to get kiat leong or leong kiat (I forgot which way) to do some leading and stuff. And there's this Clement in my OG whom I think is really cool (will be cooler if he didn't have the gum in the mouth all the time). The girls were generally fine- Shanah, Inez, Trishna, just to name a few. (Fact is I can't remember a lot of them). Yeap, getting the OGMs hyped up is the responsibility of OGLs, so I think I shouldn't be complaing too much, like if they are not high, we are majority of the fault. So let's hope tomorrow I will be able to do better.
For three, I would have very much hoped that all the OGLs could really put orientation as priority over anything and everything. Yeap. Like when one after the other left before the dismissal time, it got kind of irritating, and many things become jumbled up and confused. What's worse was that the reasons become more and more intolerable. Going off for hospital is the only one I would ever accept if there is ever gonna be any acceptance to the reasons. Then there was this tution which can't be postponed, Well, what can I do? Then there's the people who were going out to date/ with friends. If today's meeting was a last minute one, seriously I would have just kept my mouth shut no matter how much resent. But when orientation is a much much earlier pre-planned thing, going out with friend is like! I hate to use those words, so I shall refrain myself. But yeap, super displeasing. I mean because everyone took charge of different things, I did the surface work (leading and everything), and paper work was done by someone else. So like really, a lot of things I was uncertain. Maybe it's my allocation of work that is problematic.
For four, unpleasant sights. Shan't elaborate. But yeap, altogether, it's quite bad- I didn't even have the mood to go for dinner. Yeap, Today I didn't have any proper meal, but yet I'm not hungry. Where are you, appetite?
