after awaking today i tried to kick myself up and out of bed.

as i did so i felt a searing pain through my right leg.

i just lay down, quite badly (partially-) paralyzed.

that explains why i came to school 10 minutes later than usual, and didn't walk as fast as per my norm today.

it's ok now, but it reminded me of something very scary, very very scary i had last year.

i dunno, but i think it was late april/early may last year. it was actually quite a minor thing, a ear infection (i think caused by a mosquito bite?!).

but that gave me 5 days of hell.

that morning i sensed something amiss. i woke up hearing a ringing tone (i believe it's a quite flat E natural) in my right ear, which refused to go away despite all i could do (i thought it was pressure, i thought it was water etc. and tried really every method i knew of then.)

then on the mrt i got a very very rude shock. i plugged my earphones into my ear and listened to something. whenever an A was played my ear would hurt and i would hear an A flat instead in my right ear.

anyway i guess there's no point describing in full detail what i suffered, especially how i had to adapt for the sake of even being able to listen to the teacher.

that rude shock reminded me about how I took everything for granted, especially my 2 ears.

anyway school has been (slack but) fun. what with going out with chamber people, hanging with OGs and playing STUPID GAMES like "how many moo moos jumped over the wall" and the MRT game (OHHH I HATED THAT LIKE I TOOK 40 MINUTES TO FIGURE IT OUT.), class bonding and piano-playing/fooling around with the violin/piano etc.

yup jc life's fun!

classes out today.

and after worrying for 3 months ever since i screwed up my jap eoy i realised that there was absolutely no need to panic.

my class' 10S06P, the pCHEMRA-MAFFRAe/a/g class.

yeah.

i like knew nearly every guy there (austin, the 5 4B people, renyong, baohanjie and yeyushi) rather well (maybe not baohanjie and yeyushi).

just worried that the people aren't enthu enough. doesn't sound as crazy as 4B '08 (or even 10S06Q).

so we played games from 9.46 till like 11.26 (i think.) and then moved over to ri for lunch till about 12.30.

then some magic occured.

while talking to my class about possible locations to go, i saw a group of familiar people.

not 1, not 3, but a bunch of 6 O'RIGAMI people!

walking towards ri canteen.

and worst of them all, this was TOTALLY UNPLANNED! so it was just pure telepathy! ramasamy, nicholas, chng yan, esther, zaid, trung! then later came clarence, shi min, (kelly who alreadly left campus) and xian min!

so all of us met UNPLANNED for lunch!

and not also forgetting the unplanned morning meeting at the 'ome! like quite a number turned up without prior planning!

i swear O'RIGAMI has some form of very very strong telepathy! =DD

i'll hold off other posts 1st for the mandatory o'rientation post.

*on a side note patrick cho please explain what I see on your blog.*

anyway o'tiero (FOR THE 3RD TIME RUNNING I DON'T BELIEVE THIS WORD EXISTS IN SPANISH. nevermind, it can be another "powerdei"-ish word (yeah like invented.)) has been nothing short of brain-dazzling.

magical, to be precise.

so many cool stuff indeed - stationgames, an amazing race, "when we look back", BATCHDANCE! (ohmygosh i think i lost count of the number of times i've seen the youtube video), raindance + sundance, wargames (lol stripmeifyoucan), face-paint war, captain's ball during take5 and MY FASHION DISASTER (yes till now i cannot believe i actually did a catwalk o.0).

indeed, i never had THAT high hopes for orientation, seeing as (as jiggy pointed out before orientation) we would bond together with a bunch of people who we won't interact much with after orientation. but. but.

something really cool came about because of that. we made new friends, had awesome wacky fun together (buying fbts for me?!) and really let our hair down.

so what if we won't officially meet up after orientation? so what if we're all going to be separated because we take different subject combis? so what if we aren't in the same ccas or in the same classes?

we're gonna stick around for long.

and really, a lot of credit should go to our OGLs, chloe, edwin and wei jie. really what made us moving on the 1st day was actually the OGLs assisting our ice-breakers, because right before that everyone was practically silent (even I didn't talk to leon much, and leon was perhaps one of the 2 people i knew before this). random assorted stuff (especially dinners, which were really good at breaking the ice between all of us) made us closer, and really i doubt our OG would be so close if not for the OGLs.

also not forgetting our "grandparents", leon and chng yan, who really did a wonderful job getting our og together for random assorted fun stuff (including dinner and presents for OGLs). as well as the rest of our OG, including wacky people *coughramasamycough* who really got us close together.

o'rigami BW11 FTW!
