THE OLYMPIAN EXPERIMENT:DAY 2 OF ORIENTATION

Day 2 of my JC life, woke up at 5:30am. 1/4 of my energy is gone, left 3/4. Still in a very enthuisatic mood, I ate my piece of bread and head off to school. Reach there about 6:30am, greeted again by the friendly security guard.

Through pure observation, Johnathan and Jazreel didn't report to school today. Guangyang lost its domination of the Orientation to Cedar Girls' School. Everywhere I go, I can at least see some Cedar Girls' school students somewhere in the college. Also, I tried looking for the girl whom I danced with yesterday, sadly I don't think she reported for school that day too.

The day went on without them and we headed to our OG classroom. We handed in our prelims results to our OG tutor. Again, lots of boring admin stuff among the tutors and I almost doze off again. Ren Huan, completely exhausted from day 1 slept throughout the admin thing. I also received my Orientation package costing me $18. Just look at what's inside. Announcement came and we had to report to the hall for the MASS DANCE. We changed to our PE t-shirt and headed to the hall.

The dance was pretty complicated and many of us were lost in the midst of the steps. BUT PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT, we all have fun dancing and finally mastered some of the basic steps. Nothing much amusing happened except for Adrian who laughed with Kai Yuan throughout the whole Mass Dance for some reasons.

Lunch came and I bought a plate of mixed vegetable rice. I ordered 2 dishes, 1 of them is chili vegetable and the other is sweet braised pork meat. OHHHHHHHHH MANN!!!! IT TASTES SO MUCH BETTER THAN GUANGYANG'S MIXED VEGETABLE RICE!!!! The chili vegetable was spicy enough to actually get rid of the smelly pesticides of the vegetables. The chili used was definetly top quality and I heard it was actually homemade. The vegetables are springy and crunchy with each bite brings out the full taste of the hot spicy chili. Next came the braised pork meat, the best of the dishes. The braised pork was fried so perfectly over the flame that it is actually crunchy on the outside but soft in the inside. It captures the sensitive tastebuds of mine and actually made me want to cry. After suffering 4 years of bland food in GYSS, I finally got to enjoy good food! Each bite onto the braised meat brings out the sweet and sour taste of the sauce used in the cooking. The gravy used tastes just right, not too oily nor too sweet. I decided to give 4 stars out of five for this dish. Furthermore I heard that this mixed vegetable store changes it menu every single day....

After lunch, a few GYSS people gathered in the hall and so I joined them. Zhong Ming and Emile seems to be MIA( missing in action). So we just continued chatting and time flies and we went to gather back to our OG. Now, it is time to prepare for the campfire performance and we had to elect a PL(peer leader). Strangely enough, I was elected by the OGL. No choice, I led my team to the campfire preparation and some ideas flow in. Chun-Li seems to be abit over ambitious and wanted to perform an orchestra. Finally we got an idea and decided to sing the song " PASS IT ON". Additional 4 PL's join me in the role later and I was the flag bearer as seen from the photo on 4e1 blog.

Ren Huan still very tired, slept throught the whole campfire preparation. We finally got to see Zhong Ming and he was with his Catholic High friend for some reason. We didn't bother him much since we have our own life too.

Day 2 ended with not a very high bang but we still have much fun...
Await for day 3 of the orientation.
