rediscovering eden
And I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon forged against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here
This is my prayer in the harvest
When favour and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I've received I will sow

Part TWO of orientation. I shall talk about CAMP.
Friday 11th JanFriday started off with an RI session. Taught the Sec Ones the Raffles Jam (RJ style), the Austrian Song, and uhh....forgotten about everything else. =P Muahahaha. Sorry CMU, but yeah.
We then had PSL session Three. It was quite fun....where we discussed this year's theme, Aspire to Inspire. They were slightly unresponsive, but i think they did try. The team building game was quite interesting, where they had to use string to direct a pen. THEN WE TAUGHT THEM DUM DUM DIDI DIDI. WHOOO. I love that, especially since I remembered how to do it. YAY.
They had lunch, which is when I rushed off to meet Pristine and Cheryl, and slogged over the script. I MISSED STATION GAMES, except the last part, where I decided to go for gladiator duty, since the other two disappeared into thin air.
I then went to help my comm tie up/untagle the string for program booklets. That was...frustrating. Then, I rushed off to do script again during dinner, this time with wen yan. Nice Nice zhen ling and emily brought us our dinner. Missed most of concert prep, until the end.. THAT WHEN I FOUND OUT NO ONE HAD BEEN LOOKING AFTER MY CLASS DURING CONCERT PREP. AHHHHHHHH. oh no. =S But they went to take a shower...so that wasn't TOO bad.
The last RI session was...short. HALF AN HOUR ONLY. I think we did the mudclap again, and then the Austrian song, and then Dedication, and whatever else. I don't remember, but i DO ADORE RI sessions.
Hahah, then it was Night surprise. The JPSLs did something about pirates. o.O The P.I.Ts did some dance-off thing, which *cough*priscillialye*cough*dominated. WHOOO the PSL item was THE BOMB. Thanks anthea and jenny for getting us to be so...organised. We had the most rehearsals you know! (and desiree for being the secretary) Fior did a RI/RGS merger non merger thing...with Harry potter and crap inside. (haha dayna: LKY, Harry Potter). The SPSLs did an intro/dance thing to everybody dance now, and they were rapping and all that. Really funny. I didn't get Fila's item at all! It was dance too, but i didn't get why they were dressed up in pjs and tied their hair like they were five. o.O haha, that was really amusing though. XD
We then rushed off to shower. You know, Eunice(chiam) thinks 15 mins is a really fast shower. O.O That's how long i usually take to shower. HAHAH, we had to chase her out. Then we had to shush the sec ones into sleeping. I can't believe they weren't tired at all! Pristine and I were STILL doing the script at 12 when thashi came in and chased us to sleep. The hall stage wasn't very comfortable, so yay i brought my tiny pillow.
Saturday 12th JanuaryWe woke up at the ungodly hour of 5:30 AM. The Sec Ones, being SUPER DUPER LIGHT SLEEPERS, woke up with us. o.O I don't know why they didn't want to sleep until six, because their wake up time was from 6 - 6.30. Hahah, i heard some of them COMPARING how LITTLE they slept. o.O So the Hall was cleared by 6:45, and we went to have breakfast.
As most of you know, I drink tea every morning. So naturally, I brought tea along. Two tea bags, and two instant tea mixes into ONE tumbler of hot water. How did I get the hot water? Hahah, thanks to dear sharon chan. This really woke me up, even though I felt like throwing up and I didn't have any breakfast.
The Secondary Ones had house prac, and so I went up to try and edit my script. I felt sick, so I decided to rest for a while. I then went rushing around to confirm things with the Heads and I/Cs and stuff. Went to watch my class at Sports Fest tryouts. Some of them were REALLY good. Yay Yay.
Full Dress rehearsal was from 11:15 to 1:oo. It was an absolute DISASTER. We only managed to let a few classes rehearse, while the rest only practiced entering and exiting. =( We then went back to rushing the script, with cheryl printing it in the PB room at like, 3:20. O.O
Dum Dum Dum DUM. Concert officially started at 3:30. I tell you, I was so nervous. First Boo-Boo i made was forgetting to introduce the judges. o.O But they were very nice about it. And then we were really soft in the beginning, and parents complained. OH NO. We did try our best to be really loud. I think I totally screamed into the mike. We sang Dedication as a filler, and Pristine and I had to sing. Into the mikes. Thank goodness we didn't go off tune. Classes were then presented with souvenirs, and so were the judges.
The most important moment arrived: THE RESULTS. I tell you, we were teasing the judges like crazy. That was the MOST fun we had. Totally impromptu of course, courtesy of Miao and Cheryl's suggestions as well. We had already screamed out the class awards before, and the hall was going crazy. But that was nothing compared to this. Hahah, they started singing "Why Are We Waiting" to the tune of nyeh nyeh ni poo poo. XD Each top three class went CRAZY. It was CRAZY, I tell you. You wouldn't be able to tell that they weren't Secondary Ones by their level of enthusiastic-ness. We then sang the theme song, "I Hope You Dance", and Raffles Cheers to end it off. I tell you, it was nuts.
The video FOC did of orientation week was nice. Absolutely hilarious pictures. =) Rushed over to 113 to take pictures and clean-up. You know, it's really quite cool being famous. Or semi-famous. Okay, I was really soaking up the recognition from both parents and sec ones. =P. The only thing to watch out for now is stalkers. o.O But i'm so horrible no one really wants to to stalk me anyway. (YAY. or no yay. depending on how you look at it.) There was a parent that nudged his daughter and went, "Hey, that's the Emcee!" UBER cool, I tell you. XD
I think I'm still rather hyper. Must be the post-orientation mood. It's 12am and it's OBS leaving day. OH NO. I JUST finished packing. I shall sleep now. HAVE FUN AT OBS!!!!
