approaching the end of orientation

alrighty... finally got some time back in my room proper to update the blog. so i blogged about the 1st and 2nd day of orientation... :) and now.. it's approaching the end of orientation! time SERIOUSLY flies... maybe soon i'll be graduating huh...

wells, we had loads of silly games.. the one that i remember was the "silly crazy games"... which we had to form teams of 4.. and then run to a table with food and we were suppose to eat whatever was given to us... and if we can't finish, we have to crawl back and tag the other person in line. so there were popsicles, choc balls in green cream, lemon slices, spoonful of vegemite (which i had to eat), raw meat pie, raw spaghetti sticks, wheat-bix (which i ate), oyster sauce, orange syrup, ... etc... and most of us ate what we had to, and ran to the bin behind the lines and just spat out what we had...

then came the so-called "IH Tradition" of ice-blocking kicking, with a partner, whose leg is tied to one of yours... and we had to kick it around IH... AND.. each corner, there'll be O-weekers throwing stuff at you.. like.. WATER, coloured water, flour, oyster sauce, vegemite, tomato sauce, and a mixture of what we spat out during the foodie game.

fantastic lah. haha.. but it was great fun man.. :)

then went to uni to have our faculty orientation, met a few of the other first year med students :) ahha.. AND most of them are like 18... so we practically feel REALLY old, not to mention those sg guys who come after army... so.. yeah.. we were inundated with loads of forms, and information on what we need to do.. so basically there are loads of singaporeans there! so basically, uni orientation.. we had clubs and societies stuff... we joined the "singapore student society".. which basically i don't really know why i joined it.. so yea. ahhaa... then i joined this "apollo health music society's choir".. which is mainly for med fac music enthusiasts... so i hope it's good :)

IH orientation brought us to the Melbourne Museum.. (which was pretty boring, but informative), Yum-cha at Dragon Boat Restaurant (which wasn't really good), Moonlight cinema @ the botanica gardens (which was a documentary about mountaineers), and running around the city doing silly stuff, a visit to the zoo at 8pm...

moonlight cinema... it was a hot day, we just did stupid stuff like running around city as one whole big group, doing a chicken dance in front of KFC, chanting "chips! chips! chips!" in hungry jacks... telling macdonald's they have better burgers than hungry jacks, doing the "hokey pokey" while lining around the parameters of the basement of some shopping mall, dancing the IH dance in front of HMV while getting them to play the music.. holding hands and charging down the city, cramming all of us on the tram... yeah. so when we got the botanical gardens, we were all warmed up, and feeling fine.. but the minute we sat down and the show started, we got all chilly cos the wind was BLOWING.. and i was shivering, and shivering. all the time! goodness.

the zoo outing.. ahah.. we were there.. since it's Summer, sun doesn't set that early, but basically loads of animals were asleep already.. and we didn't see much.. ONLY lions and hyenas. can't believe it. haha.. but there were supposedly more animals to see! :)

we had a 2 minute water fight. ahhaha :) pathetic man...

so basically there's the Brunswick Festival tmr.. and we're all going.. and there's "meet the seniors (toga) party".. i have no idea whether i'll go for that but i guess i'll just go down and have a look around.. and then go back up to my room..

BECAUSE I HAVE VACCINATION AT 8am ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! ah!!!! so i have to sleep early, and wake up like really early, get ready for school... and i'm still thinking whether to get a printer. damn it. i just saved some lect notes that i need to print from the internet on my flashdrive cos i only have 200MB per week.. so i tried downloading from IH.. maybe i'll go to the comp lab in school to download the remaining notes and print back in IH or maybe in my room.. but i'll see how. we still need to get our lab coats and stuff. sigh.

i am really tired now..i think i should sleep.

oh yea! before my mum went back... my mum's friend's sister brought us to this place in chinatown.. and had dumplings. i was commenting i hadn't had such good chinese food for such a LONG time... :) yummy. i think i put on quite some weight today. *guilty*...
