The day of parting with parents.
Speeches from the Deans and VIPs.
White Coat Ceremony
Pestle and Mortar ceremony.
i thought that my first day will be ended in this boring way, but i was wrong and it's just the begining of the orientation week.
all july intake students were gathered at the hall and we were divided into 12 groups of people. The seniors had planned something for us, plenty of events and activities in this orientation week. i felt myself was like attending a 5-days camping. Each group should think of a cheer and a name to represent themselves, and there will be roughly 10 seniors guiding us throughout the whole event. As usual, the ice between the 20 group members had not been broken, still after the self introducing session, everyone was shy and we kept our mouths shut up. Atmosphere was silent until there's a group start yelling their cheer out, with full of spirit. Our group seniors started to worry since no one from our team was willing to volunteer himself to be the group leader, not to think about the cheer and group name.
Few minutes later, a girl voiced out. Woot. There she is, our group 2 leader, sharlini. She is from singapore, i could see that she is quite an outgoing girl. She likes hot stuff.
Discussion was on and everything went smoothly. Cheer was decided, and i guess it's time to say goodbye. But wait, hang on!!! An annoucement was made by the seniors : Those who stay nearby please stay back to design the group tag and flag.
HAR??? a big transparent question mark appeared on the top of my head. It's already 7 and i had not taken my dinner, luggages placed in my room were seeking for my attention, honestly, i was abit frustrated. i wanted to go off and take my shower. Situation was worsen when that heeled shoes were trying to kill my feet.
calm down, carmen. it's okay, i appeased and tried to tell myself that everything will be fine. Moreover, i was not the only one who's suffered from tireness. Looking at the seniors and some of my group members, i felt a bit guilty to have that kind of wrongful thought. In add, i should make use of this period to get closer with the new faces. Hence, i stayed. =)
It's about 8.30pm, the guards started to command us to leave the building. However, we had not finished our tasks yet and we were told to get them done latest by tomorrow afternoon. what a rush! we decided to continue our works at our leader's place at 9.30. At the same time. we realised that we were lack of colouring materials. We indeed needed someone to go to carefour or sri petaling to buy them.
Guess what?? there are only 2 fellows who have cars here. dawson, our assistant leader and me.
Decision had to be made again. i am definitely willling to go to buy the stuff. but then, the time was late and not to forget that it's just my first day, i didnt know the direction. furthermore, it's abit hmm.. inappropriate to let a guy whom i just befriended with for few hours be my guide right?? .. nah!! and see, my mom... that's another problem again, how to talk to her about it?? i wanted to help but i was scared to hear a ' NO' from her. My mind was struggling.
k then, i chose the risky one. hehe, and another female friend will accompany me . ( i did call my mom )
Jia ying, eng hong ( the senior ) and me, drove to carefour. While, dawson went to sri petaling to tapao pizza hut and buy other stuff.
woot!!! We were so puntual and reached leader's place by time.
The night was peaceful ever after!
YAY!!! i just have to finish the flag and i can flee
i was full with energy, hehe.. but sleepy.
.......
Few minutes later, my phone rang. i received a call from dawson ( hmm, extra info, he is son of my mom's friend, we already met each other at taylor ) It's quite suprising that he will call me.
'' carmen, my car was broken. so, err... can you come here to fetch me? sorry ''
!!! ??? !!!! ???? HUH??!!!
wait, i didnt know the direction!!! i told eng hong about the incident, he seemed tired and he already provided us lot of assistances, it is not necessary for him to stay back to do the flag with us, he had not taken his bath yet and from what i heard, after this he got assignment or revision to do, still. i felt abit sorry for him. But he was so nice and he's willing to follow me to find dawson. 2 of us were back on the road once again.
lastly we found dawson, with lot of stuff in his hands. he had made a call to his parents and his parents decided to come and fetch him. in the end, we went there just to get the stuff from him. Before going back, we went to carefour to buy brushes =(, we forgot to buy it just now. i felt sorry for causing another trouble to him due to my carelessness. It's 10.30pm. Seeing him running here and there.. pity him
*************
We started painting our flag at 11 and parted at 1. i brought back the flag to my place as there were still parts which had not been finished by us. i did the remainings.
My head was dizzy. i was tired. i wanted to have a big sleep right now. ouch, but before that, i got to take my bath first.
My roomate was awake. she is caring. she knew that i was not feeling well and gave me panadol and something which helps to relieve my throut. felt sorry once again... i knew i was coughing the whole night and it disrupted her sleep =( sorry hui sze.
the night was cold even i wore long sleeves and pants. i knew my flu was getting worst since i didnt rest well . sorry , for myself... i did not take care of my health properly and i didnt give you enough rest even though you 're already weaken since yesterday night. i told myself it will be alright. my mental just has to be tough enough.
ah, i got to wake up at 6 tomorrow. luggages were placed at their original place, leaving untouched. let's sleep.
