o week 08 Its the 2008 Beijing Olympics today and well am i glad to have spent some quality time with nice people eating and munching and talking at the cheese prata shop! O Week has finally came to an end, but well i don't know if i should feel happy or sad. Perhaps sad that the whole OG will be split up because not everyone takes the same modules and all. Feeling happy that i have chosen to come to O Week and had gotten to know many more people and made some wonderful friendships. The feeling that i get from Arts Camp and O Week is a little different, and there are less burdens and emotional upheavals in one way or another. A spectacular display of people from all walks of life, all gathered at O Week. Simply amazing and mind-blowing. Exaggerating it a little, but i really enjoyed O Week ALOT. I was late for the first day cos i had driving lessons in the morning, and i turned up and found my new OG pretty pleasing. Everyone seem comfortable with each other and the whole chemistry was fantastic. Of course, there were still pockets of awkwardness and hesitancy, but overall it felt goooooooooood. The 2nd day was also ok, although i was MIA for the PSI day cos of NDP Preview as i had to be at TBSC by 2pm. Was looking through the photos the OG took and they had loads of fun. Then came monday, tuesday... O school day was also fun! Eating watermelons and all.. And then there was the captain's ball game where we played so hard and cheered so hard. It was really fun. The beach games on wednesday was the best! Really saw how the guys went all out to do their part and the girls gave their all, some taking off their shirts to squeeze the most water into a bottle and such. Felt really bad that i didn't take part in most of the activities but merely carried water and belongings... Couldnt get wet cos i had NDP rehearsal in the evening! But well it was certainly exciting watching the rest play. Went to school late today cos i was told to come later. Had wanted to join the rest of the OG at west coast park for war games but there was a whole lot of confusion and miscommunication, so we reached school at about 5 plus. Then headed for the deck and had a scrumptious dinner with lots of chicken wings cos it was a free buffet for all o week-ers. Played the chitty chitty bang bang game and also polar bear. Whoa i must really say that the polar bear game took a looooooooooong time to complete cos we didn't really know who are the polar bears and hunters. LOL! I was totally out of the game cos i was busy eating and well, could hear mumblings of their conversations. But it went well! After that we all headed back to LT8 for our finale night and Absolut mambo-ed away! Councillors had to wear these durian gloves on one hand and mambo. Haha... I don't know the moves so just tried to keep up! Then the rest of the houses put up skits and performances, and it was superb! We then watched videos and photo collages of O Week thus far, and all the house ics gave really sentimental speeches and all, before we proceeded to the deck as an OG to celebrate birthdays of our OG mates. Cute! We took lots of pictures and all, then the whole bunch of us headed off. On hindsight, O Week tested my patience and interpersonal skills very much. And i am glad to have attended O Week! Really a big hug to all those people in my OG and i really thank you all for being part of such a wonderful memory. YEAH MAN! (ark ark sia!) |
