Innova Junior College Orientation 2005

Bode'Wadmi- Day Four

Alright, thank God today's whether isn't bad. We went to the grand stand for the briefing for the second game and proceed to play. At first i wanted to throw the water bombs 'cause of insufficient people. But as people volunteered i decided to run.

When we proceeded tot he starting point, Alex went up to me and started talking about running as though i know a lot about running. He started to know my past like me running for sports day last year. He asked me whether i could run fast and i juz answered 'quite '. So i just asked him what was it that made him think that i could run fast, and he began his explanation. He said that since he is in the track & field team, he recognises the different types of calves. So let me get to the point: he praised my calves as of an athletes'!!
I was so happy 'cuz nobody has ever praised my calves.haha.
Well maybe the shape of calves is like that because in primary skool i was in athletics(i was a pathetic runner, seriously) and that now i run when there's an emergency(RC people are first aiders mah...)

Anyway, today's wargame was quite though. We had to like run pass human walls formed by our team members and our opponents alternately. For the first few times i managed to pass them. But later it juz seems quite impossible. In the end, i didn't score any points, but getting wet and running all over is fun enough. haha.

After war games, we got changed and went to the nearest mosque(in Woodlands) which was near the Woodlands checkpoint. The mosque was quite old(like Ansar in Bedok) and I didn't really like it there though. I hope theres another mosque other than An-Nur. Btw a councillor(Hanafi) led us to the mosque. I really should have known someone was having nose bleed. At least i could apply first aid. hmm...nvm he's alright...

After prayers we walked around checkpoint area. It was nothing much but just an old place with not many interesting shops. We missed clan meetings btw. haha.

We quickly made our way back to school and went to the CCA fair. It is today that we signed up for a cca. I knew what i was going to choose. Anything watersports =)
When i was at the hall, i saw a very prominent banner. It says 'Red Cross Humanitarian Network'. haha. I did thought of joining RCHN but i think i'd go for watersports. And guess who i saw?! DOREEN MA'AM! haha... Its been a long time since I saw her. I greeted her and she said 'hey!what are you doing here?don't you live somewhere in pasir ris/tampines?' haha... Then she tried to persuade me in joining RCHN and told the J2 that i MUST join RCHN since once an RC cadet, alwaes RC. haha.
Too bad they only have one watersports cca- Canoe/Dragon Boat. Well canoeing and dragon boating is quite ok. Alex kept on telling me to join track & field saying i have the legs. haha. NO WAY. I only run when there's an emergency =)

After dinner, was the BOOMBA nite! woohoo. Boomba nite is the orientation nite where the clans gather and celebrate. Also, the bets clan would be given the Golden Maple Leaf. I hope Blackfoot wins it!
The nite started off with the entrance of the principal and the emcees. Then, the four tribes presented their item. Firstly was Miccosukee whoch was quite impressive. Then Walla walla's was less impressive but good enough. Now i don't think Blackfoot can win. But we'll see. During Dakota's item, we went 2 the back of the hall and stole time to pray. It was raining then. Blackfoot's performance was engaging in that the last part involves the participation of the whole hall audience; that is the FRIENDSHIP DANCE conducted by KHALDUN! woohoo!

it was quite difficult to control the crowd-duh its like at least 500 studEnts. in the end it was fun.those who NEVER heard of friendship dance(thats sad) can now dance.then it was time to gr00ve!YAY...this time grooving is better than PRSS prom =x
haha...cuz its wif a larger crowd, there's spotlights and the deejay was cool. yes fine wtv farhan tpjc has 987 deejay but SO what?! lol

dance
groove
dance
hit nose
ouch!
bleed
bleed
toilet

really. it was quite funny though =x anyway fadhli, me, khal, nizham, faiz, heider, alex(the whole gang of us) were dancing in a circle. then fadhli put his hand up and suddenly hit alex's nose. ouch. 'im so sorry' 'nah its ok'
and then: 'n0se blEed!'
i rushed alex to the toilet at the back of the stage and applied first aid. this nose bleed took a long time to stop though. anyway he was afraid of this punch cuz he once got hit by a zooming soccer ball and thus fractured his nose. but thankfully his nose was still alright and not crooked whatesoeva.

unfortunately the gr0oving had to end.i was damn sweating l0r! haha..anyway the OGLs then treated us to anotehr mass dance by pink. ian the president paired up wif this hot gal. haha. wtv. i tink this dance is better than the other mass dance('its so easy'). the moves are cooler but u have to be paired up lah. mebbe thats why they didn't teach us this mass dance cuz it wud be messy for freshies to find partners. n same sex partners would be t0tally wEird. hmm.. dance dance. we thought it wiuld end just like that but then the OGLs continued by dedicating songs to us. they sang songs while playing guitar. gosh it was so nice. this councillor hanafi sang well man. he cud like reach a higher pitch voice or wtv u call it. damn impressive. i found out later that he's from choir. not surprised. OGLs shud stop this. its preventing me from going home. going home is not fast alrite. approx 45/50mins frm woodlands to tampines. thank god they ended it. we went back home. we as in easterners. yup. its me n khal frm PRSS, masselia frm TKGS, faiz frm TKSS, heider frm East Spring SS n nizham frm Dunman SS. we easterners shud stick together. go skool together etc. i juz hope they all stay after Os results are out. hmm...
