Sadly, SOW has come to an end...
Sunday, August 13, 2006
SOW was over yesterday. I was quite upset that we lost the Chancellor's Shield. I could see the disappointment in the faces of the seniors and the SOW committee. I felt that we seemed to have let them down. Sigh...
I really enjoyed myself during the last few days of SOW. The sing-along session was exceptionally satisfying. Everyone was so 'high' and we just kept dancing and singing as if in ecstasy. For the first time, I felt that we bonded as an og and most importantly, we bonded as students of Science Faculty.
SURPRISE! SURPRISE! Sinbad (name of my orientation group) was nominated for "Best Creative Cheer" and "Loudest Cheer". After some antagonizing moments filled with deafening cheers and drum rolls, we managed to clinch the title for "Best Creative Cheer"! YEAH!
The best house went to 'Offshore Islands'. Guess what? Sinbad is part of Offshore, which means WE WON! YEAH!! YEAH!! We beat those in red!!! It was so pleasurable since I didn't like the red team at all! YEEPIE!!!
Before going home, our AOGL said, "I have bad news... School is starting on Monday." I could only roll my eyes. Duh! Of course, I knew that! Haha, but thanks for the information!
I had a lot of fun during SOW. A big thanks to the seniors who never failed to be so enthusiastic and vibrant throughout the whole programme! A bigger thanks to the SOW committee for their hard work in planning and executing the activities in an efficient manner! Last of all, many thanks to everyone (especially the seniors) in my og. Thanks for celebrating my birthday!! The cake was delicious!

Back from camp!

I'm finally back home!!! Ah~~~ HOME SWEET HOME~~~ Missed my bed, the pc, the games and dvd shows and my books!
The SOW (Science Orientation Week) camp was pretty enjoyable. I like the mass dance (a bit unsure of the third dance) and the Fright Night (had an awful rush of adrenaline during the third station! Man, those seniors are really good at being "ghosts"!). 'Fiona and Shrek' was fine, through I honestly didn't get pleasure from being blindfolded for close to 2 hours. It makes me uncomfortable and uneasy.
I feel so dead beat right now. My whole body seems to be aching and I can't even bend because I would feel a wrench around my waist (must be due to the Tug of War).
I have two different tones of colours on both my forearms and feet. This means no sleeveless shirts until my arms are restored back to its original and even shade. It is pretty cool to see a bright letter 'C' on my suntanned feet. Hmm maybe if I had worn my slippers, it would be an inverted 'V' instead.
The cheers from Science Faculty are exceptionally cool and provocative. The senior said that 50% of all cheers are in Hokkien (seems more like 80%). I think we'll be regarded as the top opponent by other faculties on Rag Day after hearing our cheers.
That's all I have to say. Gotta unpack my clothes and get another set of clothes ready for tomorrow's Freshmen Inauguration Ceremony.
P.S. DeGe, did you call me during the three days that I was in camp? I'll be quite busy until the 12th, which is the last day of all SOW programmes. I'll be home the whole day on National Day. You can give me a call then.
