AJC Orientation 2010 - Avventura!

Right now, I have been through:

• 3 days of adventure
• 5 days of orientation
• 7 days in AJC

So it's time for this post on AJC's orientation: Avventura! All right, this post will be split into 3 main sections:

#1. Games
Friday's game is rather boring so I'll skip it. During Monday, our OG played quite a few different games (same for Tuesday/Wednesday!) , some of which are "Strange hieroglyphics" - passing a certain phrase down the OG through drawings. Whoa the process is hard to describe, but my partner and I (the second-last pair) morphed a barely comprehensible rock-climbing wall to a (broken!) rope! Seriously I wonder how the last pair figured out that the answer is the rock-climbing wall in AJC ...

On Tuesday our OG played a game called S.O.S. with ~5 other OGs. At one part of the game (same sex) couples had to (1) face away from each other (2) sandwich a [basketball (then) rugby ball (then) balloon] between their backs (3) transport the ball to the other side of the hall. And my pair was like the only pair to accidentally pop the balloon! Oops :D

Today (i.e. Wednesday) our OG played a game that has got to do with fashioning a structure out of newspapers, straws and ice-cream sticks (and how can I forget the masking tape? :D) Our idea was to build boxes and stack them up just like HDB flats :D but it failed terribly. My genius (or at least workable) idea came too late :(

#2. Dances (split into 3 sub-sections:)
#2A.Group(!) Dance - Learned on Friday [Borriquito??? I'm not so sure ...]
This dance is no problem at all, but lack of space means cannot move as much as I would like to :( like when we are supposed to run we can barely walk :(

#2B.Solo(!!) Dance - Learned on Monday [That Girl (Will Never Be Mine)]
First time seeing the dance, though that it was incredibly difficult. But slowly, after we learned the dance, it's not that difficult at all. Wait till you come across to the one below ...

#2C.Couple(!!!) Dance - Learned on Tuesday [Mambo No. 5]
Ok, this is my (and probably >75% of JC1s') first time dancing with a partner. And even though it's very much harder & there's a lot more coordination involved, I have to admit this: I like this! One more thing: Can I do it again?

#3. Cheers
The first two days, there really weren't much cheers. BUT, this week, after we learned our alliance's (METALLO) cheers, the cheers just "keeps getting better" and louder! Also, our alliance also "hijacked" (or countered) other alliances' cheers. Eg. Tritone: 吸够了吗？Metallo: 不够！ :D:D:D Yesterday I shouted until I got a mild sore throat, though today it's less serious (maybe 'cos we counter less often! <-- Instruction from OGLs) . But still it's lots of fun - reminds me of cheering like mad in BP :) wait: when I cheer in BP I don't get as "high" as when I cheer here in AJ ...

#4. Misc.
The AJ rap was great (though the female rap IC always 跑拍子) ! During the orientation song (BTW it's We'll Get There) everyone placed their arms around their neighbours like we are going to graduate liao even though we had not finished orientation haha ;)

Once I get hold of our OG's photos I'll post it up on this blog. So stay tuned!

Meanwhile, here's my favourite cheer:
Metal A-Power Power Metal A-Power Power Metal A-Power Power OH MY GOD!!! Yeah!
