NTU Freshman Orientation Camp (FOC) Day 2

Bleahhhhhhh. You must be asking why did i give such an opening. The answer is simple, the orientation camp is boring. Yup, its boring, but not all of it. Not to put down the effort put in by the Group Leaders(GL), but i personally felt that the cheering stuff was a little bit overboard. I was bored out of my wits whenever the girls are so enthusiastic about learning a new cheer or song. If you know me well enough, you will easily discover that i have a very poor memory and obviously hate to dictate stuff. Executing the cheer is one thing, having to remember tons and tons of cheers and songs is another thing. I have difficulty in memorisation and facing the demands to learn a cheer every one hour (on an average) did not help. If you ever need an evidence to back it up, scoring a remarkable D7 in 'O' level biology examination is something i am proud of. I was the first person to fail biology in my secondary school, which made me a legend of sort. That aside, i find the games rather interesting. Being a typical guy, my andrenaline reached the peak when i am involved in a competition. Judging from my level of commitment and participation in competitions, it separated me from the rest of the world. I was an individualist and am still one. Do i need to add that i am a perfectionist too? Its an in-born trait and i could do nothing to curb it as tried before. To me, i simply love the trait that i was bestowed with from the moment i left my mother's womb. It helped me build up my confidence and being optimistic when facing a very challenging problem. It has its side effect though. I might be seen as an authority-hoarder often and to a certain extent, will scare those who don't know me too well.

We had a very long day today, going through alot of stuff. The deepest impression in my mind is when i was playing a game with a girl from another group. The game goes like this. The ankle of both players were tied together with a ruffian string and were both given a cup each in an attempt to fill a pail to its brim. Almost everyone in hall 9 had a partner, so its not hard to imagine how chaotic the situation was. At first i had nothing much to talk to the girl. Thats something which i do not want to go into - inability to communicate with new friends. There was always a barrier, which made me look so shy in front of people who are not close to me. But once the barrier is broken, they will see another side of me. Anyway, back to topic. Later when we started to play the game, we had some difficulty in orientating the movement towards our destination. Thats when things changed. I started to follow her closely and in no time we were able to overcome the communication barrier. Although we did not talk much about ourselves during the game, but we were enjoying ourselves(not sure if she did enjoyed... i take it as a 'yes' judging from her expressions though ^.^). She was rather cute and kept apologizing when our movements had small hiccups. Definitely a girl who will 'smite' your heart anytime anywhere.

Sigh, i am very tired for now, 4:09 at the moment. I am going to end my sharing here, a rather short one. I will try to update this as much as possible though. Some people worth mentioning are my GLs and some people in my OG. They were a bunch of cool people and it really hurt me having to end here rather abruptly. Anyway, i doubled the number of cuts and wounds today... hopefully it wouldn't be the case for later today... MY SPECS!!!
