BAoc Day 1 over.
lets see what happened. registration, goodie bag collection, (rushed) icebreakers, (rushed) mass dance training, (even more rushed and giam siap) refreshments, plenty of intro speeches and performances at convention center. tata.
so you can see nothing really much happened today. about my OG, X-Men 6, the people are the more moderately enthusiastic kind, which is good in a way. but, that means everyone is mingling in their own cliques or whatever.
it is already sad enough that there are only 7 guys (6 after one whom I doubt is coming back tomorrow left). yet we dont mingle as an entire group. especially since one of the guys coming in later actually knew another guy (and 2 girls) quite well and stuck to their own world.
that leaves us with 10 girls in the group. looking at the make up of every other group, there is really more girls than guys in School of BA. and in fact most of them look okay enough. the only bad thing is they keep to themselves. adding on to the fact that the pittance of guys are not united, what is left is a very fragmented group.
at least it is a lot more comfortable being in a 16 or 17 member group than one with 40. whats more there are 5 GLs per group, not 3. that is like a GL for every 3 participants.
okay lah I run through fast fast.
icebreakers are icebreakers loh. standard one. played double whacko for the hundred millionth time, only this time the person in front shouted the name instead. before that was cat and mouse.
only had time for this two games since we spent some time learning a few cheers and also to learn the mass dance. cheers was a mad scramble as we learnt about 6 cheers and went through them only once without confirming understanding. the mass dance session was rushed just like the cheers segment. but since it is only the first 3 sets, at least I managed to catch something.
collected t-shirts. one for sports & wellness (dry fit and dark blue. beautiful) and the other green one for BAoc (not so bad). the refreshment was a joke with one chun juan looking apple pie and a mini banana cake and a 5ooml bottle of mineral water. it is so bad that I am not going to dwell on it.
then went convention centre to see welcome video by various BA staff, performances by baracuda (again?) and song composing club and introductions to the most important functions in NPal and MeL.
after that went to meet her after an abrupt change in meeting place. all I shall say was it wasnt really all that great. all the lack of sleep must have really taken a toll. sore eyes, headache, stomachache. duno when will I see the healthy and jumpy her again. oh well.
day 2 starts tomorrow and a lot of people are already evaluating the prospect of poning it. me too. but I think I will still go lah. even if just for the sake of going. and maybe cos I too used to being guai. haha.
