Hey pple...

This is a joint blog shared by 2 lazy pple - Ciping & Wilbur, who wishes to use each other to maintain the blog. Sadly, Ciping is the more inactive one and Wilbur does most of the work in the end. Feel free to post comments on the tag-board, it feels good to know pple are actually reading and responding to your posts. It gives motivation to write more.

< Orientation day 2 >

Ok.. Orientation is getting better, especially since how I read about Wilfred's and John's orientation went, and heard about Marcus' orientation. Apparently, marcus was the loudest guy in his OG.. You have a relatively quiet guy in VS becoming the loudest guy in his OG. You can only imagine how quiet the others are..

While I cannot say VJ's orientation is the best, or most interesting, I'd have to say its 1 of the most enthusiastic. And its all thanks to the guy who invented.................. Box office Tickets.

But 1st, to give a brief intro about VJ's orientation:
In our orientation, the whole congregation is called Vollywood (Yes, intended pun), and we are split into 8 OGs, otherwise known as films, after V,I,C,T,O,R,I,A. All the films are named relating to a actual movie, or film. For example, mine 'Rodeo' is pertaining to cowboys. Although I dunno why.. Within each big film (around a 100 people), it is further split into smaller slicks (groups basically), with about 12 members. Box office tickets (or otherwise a 'points' system), are issued to films throughout the orientation, for eg. if they cheer the loudest. (Each group has their own unique set of cheers)

This has resulted in LOTS and LOTS of cheering. In fact, the OGLs are soooo enthusiastic, and keep asking the group to CHEER to win tickets.. that soon, the enthusiasm spreads on to the whole oG. So for example, if we're waiting for some things. OGLs start standing up and leading groups cheers. Whole hall is full of mixed cheers, in the end, all you hear is juz screaming, shouting, screaming, and more shouting. Even when the councillors have prepared the stuff.. the people just won't stop cheering. It goes something like that:

"OK guys pls STOP cheering!"

Cheers continue.

"GUys we're running out of time! Pls stop cheering RIGHT NOW!"

Momentary silence.. then the groups can't take it and cheer 1 more time.

"OK.. THe film which doesn't stop cheering will lose box office tickets!"

Immediate silence.

That is why I said we have to salute the guy who invented the box office tickets. Heh.
