First day of school.

And I thought I was out of this. *sigh*

First thing that happened in the morning, where nobody knew nobody (okay, I knew nobody, everybody else had friends to go with them) and the student coucnil put a skit about orientation and stuff.

Have I mentioned that we were seperated into Orientation Groups, or OGs? I'm in OG 17. After a talk from the principal Mrs Ong with a comment I love so much because it sounds so Naruto-ish, the scary discipline master Ivan Lim (why do all of the names sound so familiar?) went through the rules (or what he prefers to call 'guidelines') and punishments for breaking those rules.

After which we went up to a classroom, where we were supposed to do icebreaker activities. We sat in a circle and gave our names, secondary schools and CCAs. There were a few from band, about half a dozen from uniformed groups, a few from sports, and a couple from choir. But almost everyone was from a different school.

I got to knew a few guys and girls, but couldn't really get their names because I couldn't hear them when they introduced themselves, and I forgot to ask.

We played some games (ask me if you want details, I'm lazy to type everything out), and then went down for lunch after we decided on the OG name(I came up with it, and nobody had better ideas), Ligo. The rationale was OG17 upside down. '7' became 'L'. '1' is 'i'. 'G' became 'g'. And 'O' was 'o'.

After lunch we went up to the hall for the subject talks. Long, informative, but long. I swear I must have felt my legs go numb twice.

After all the talks we went back to the classroom again, and this time we had to continue to come up with an OG cheer, and an OG identity, something to identify other OG17 people. Me, this guy called Alex and a girl (who was in basketball, apparently) came up with the cheer after much discussion, and the identity was suggested by me again, to use the actual 'Ligo' logo from the raisin brand.

We chose a male and a female 'in-charge', and practiced the cheer a few more times before going down to the hall again.

All the guys lined up in single file, with a line of girls beside them, then a line of guys, a line of girls, so on, and it was done for a purpose.

A dance. And not just any dance, it was like a chacha remix.

I had the opportunity to learn the dance with this Bedok View girl beside me, and I got the first two parts pretty quickly, but always got confused at the 3rd part. She forgets to turn in the 4th part.

It was fun, and we stopped at the 4th part. We got to go home, after another reminder to sign our forms tomorrow. I went out to the Bus 77 stop, and waited for nearly 15 minutes before the bus came.

I got the New Paper at the Bukit Batok MRT station, and came back to Woodlands on the MRT. On the way this Evergreen *spit* guy was talking to this SCGS girl, and no, it wasn't just talking.

They were bitching about everything that happened in the school. I cursed the guy under my breath, because he reminded me of Mr. Wong because of how he looks, and Mr. Wong is not a bitcher.

So I came back on another bus, all tired, took a shower and remembered I had to share my wonderful experiences with all of you.

I'll come back with Orientation Day 2. Bye!
