NTU Freshman Orientation Camp (FOC) Day 3
Fun and retarded. These are the 2 words i would use to describe about the camp so far. How so? Today, i had alot of fun with all the games and performances- not very happy with the 'breakfast' game though. 'Breakfast' is a game about the normal stuff you would do in the morning, like washing your face, taking a shower, eating bread, blah blah blah. In the game, we were acting like clowns again to entertain the people down there. I will not go into detail about it as it did not really affect what happened later on.
Later in the afternoon, we were told to do our matriculation. Finally a time when we can put aside our stupid 'sit down doing nothing but cheering' and sit down to have our lunch quietly. As usual, the same o' GLs were very demanding, as if they held a lot of authority. I will further explain this later in this entry. As i forgot my matriculation password, i had to go to CIDS to reset it. It was a blessing in disguise as my morale was at an all-time low. There were two other girls who went with me as they had trouble logging in their accounts too.
We had a talk about how we felt about camp and our GLs. As i suspected, the girls were different from the guys when judging if the camp was fun and good. Sharon told me that enthusiasm was what was needed to make the camp enjoyable. I fully agreed to her statement, but i had my own set of thinkings. Camp would be fun if it took off at a slower pace with more build-ups and interacting bondings with each other. Xiting, another girl from my OG, agreed with me on this point. It was fun to talk with both of them and we had lots of fun together too.
Shortly after we had matriculated in the library at NTU, we were brought back in a lorry to join the others. The next programme was treasure hunt and i was very excited about the game. I love making critical decisions and solving puzzles. That is why i am very interested in the Mensa Club in NTU too. ^.^ We played the game to the fullest, from paying huge sum of ransom to borrowing huge amount from loansharks, we eventually went on to 'win' the competition by doing all the forfeits and earning the bonuses given by the kind programmers.
While we were playing the auction game, my female GL, Jin Teng, approached me. She asked me if i could make it on the Friday night. As it was such a short notice and she did not help me cause by not revealing the real duration of the events that will be taking place on Friday night, I asked her to hold on. Apparently, she told the other male GL, Kelvin Kok, and he approached me shortly. Guess what he told me? He told me to go for the Friday night stuff which will ends at around 3am with me being in the hall. He was either an idiot or a retard. I told him that i needed to give tuition on Saturday morning which starts at 11am, he still told me to go for the Friday stuff in a forcefully and unfriendly manner. I told him about the responsibility i had for my students and he replied telling me 'you might as well don't go lar' in a very barbarian manner. All i wanted was to leave early and they used such unfriendly tone in dealing with this matter.
Are they retarded or what? Is playing more important than responsibilty and studies? This had been the way they had been reacting in a lot of cases. They would force you to leave later and come back earlier or even to the extent of forcing you to cancel anything that you will be having during the duration of the camp. Wasn't camp supposed to be fun? What the F were those 2 retards thinking? They were the ones who ruined the camp in my opinion. Exerting their enthusiasm and authority on us right from the very first way showed their immaturity. I could take him out with a single punch but considered not to as i hoped that my personal grudges with the retards do not affect others in the OG. Fighting was never a solution to a problem and it was pointless to waste my effort on retards too.
Luckily for us, we had 3 GLs. 2 down and we were left with one. The one left was Stanley. From my POV, he was a guy who was very understanding and a great leader who was able to put himself in other people's shoes. Instead of using the preaching and brute force method to confine the people in the OG, he gave us alot of options which was greatly appreciated by everyone of us in the OG. He was able to make very good decisions without being overly-enthuasiastic. He took things slowly and that was what i thought was needed for a group of strangers to start bonding.
Anyway, it is very late now - 3:20am. I need to wake up at 7am... And it will be the 'amazing race' tomorrow. Time for me to sleep and conserve energy for the big event. I will update this asap, ^.^
