Phew... It was after the last day of Hwa Chong Secondary 1 Orientation, which means that i can have longer sleep. Yeah! Now let's talk about the 3-day orientation on 26th,27th and 28th December.I was in Group 1 as my name starts with "A". =.='''
On the 1st day, it was kind and sort of BORING at the beginnng as we only had the chance to learn cheers and cheer and icebreakers andnothing else more.I shouted till I had sore throat like anybody else in this orientation but luckily our Group 1's buddies had come prepared. They are Izumi and Andre. They had bought packets of strepils for us. Later, we had our lunch. After that, seniors in HCI came to our group to talk to us. They told us ghost stories, rumours and the fact that HCI is built on a Japanese Base in World War 2. After that, we went to the auditorium for a short talk and a lesson to teach how to sing the Chinese school Song. The music teacher guided us and taught how to pronouce some difficult chinese characters. Later, she asked students to pronouce it. At that moment, I thought all the students, including me, was praying and begging its not us to say it. Luckily, it was not me. Phew... Then, the principal arrived at the auditorium. We all asked to stand up. I though it was only to greet the principal but soon the school song was heard.At point of time, I thought it was crazy-telling us to sing the school when we only practice it a few times. WE WERE NOT GENIUS!!! Later, the principal introduced himself and gave us a short talk about the history of HCI. After that, it was time for the mass games. It was water bomb. Every group was asked to make a flag using newspaper and bamboo poles. Later we were to fill the plastic bags with water to make water bombs. We were to throw this water bomb to destroy the flags made by other groups in order to win. After hearing the instructions, we began filling up water bombs. In the end , we got the most number of water bombs as we had a head- start. But when the games began,and after a few minutes when I threw 1 water bomb, there was only less than half of the total water bombs at our base. But I think we got 2nd in this game. It is kind of fun and exciting. Day 1 had ended...
