Days of Preparation!!

Oh yeah... Been an enjoyable time since finishing the exams.. hehe!
Not much worries... especially about my studies!!

Yesterday evening, got to meet up with all the mentors of Curtin Camp 2005 (minus Iqbal) and four of the new people who wished to help with the Degree Orientation week next week... Augustine, Ky, Aylwin & Ian...
Abel briefed us on the things we should know when helping around with the Orientation Week..
such as the lecturers and the different schools... then peer counseling, and so much more...

after the meeting was done.... we went to Parkson for some dinner and then movie......
the four new guys said they couldn't join us... ohh....
and then Genesis & Wisdom said they couldn't either... sigh...
so there were me, Abel, Roger, Hiew, Kimberley, Pamela, Melanie, GT & Cheryl...
Got to enjoy some pizzas at Pizza Hut....
and then we accompanied Pammie to the Vinci store... haha.... where I had a little accident.. XP


anyway... movie!! Amityville Horror!!
I don't care what Kimberley, Hiew or whoever else says.. I feel the movie was quite enjoyable...
The storyline was nicely planned....character developements were beautifully portrayed.... Graphics were hideously good...
the scare factor is however not quite there...
it was more of showing scenes that people would find uncomfortable... such as a bloody gun wound on the head... a man wielding an axe... etc....
Horror fans would find nothing scary or new in this film... like Kimberley..

I ain't too much of a horror fan... and I myself admit that I easily get scared...
I try my best to stay brave..... but just some of the scenes freaks me out and frightens me...
Chills were constantly running up and down my arms and spine.... and goosebumps popped all over my skin in a few scenes...
And I even jumped at one particular scene... out of surprise... ehhehe.. Kimberley saw me jumped.. hahah!
I can still remember leaving the theater quite shaken.. still feeling the chills under my skin...
I do recommend you to watch this film... unless you're one of the strong Horror fans....

Anyway... after the movie.. Roger sent me home... and when got to my house, we got to talk alot in his car...
sigh.. what a nice, enjoyable conversation we had that night.... talked for almost two hours... haha!

Next morning.... woke up an hour later from the time that I wanted to wake up.... 7.15am...
showered... wash my clothes.... hung them... ate breakfast... then drove to Curtin... fetching Hiew & Benet along the way....
another meeting and training session with Abel to prepare for the first two days of the Orientation, Monday & Tuesday...
hehee.. can't wait for the week to come... wonder what's gonna happen...

After the morning session of some more briefing... we had a break at the cafeteria... some hot drinks to battle the cold weather....
and then we continued with some dance practises for the new members of our SOAR Advisors team...
Abel is trying to re-introduce this team to Orientation.... as they were out of action for one semester....
Anyway, the new members were Augustine, Ky, Anthony, Aylwin & Ian...
hehe... they've got to familiarise themselves with the 'Lean On Me' song.... though they still need to work on their attitudes in dancing... or as I prefer to say it... 'personalizing' their dancing...
but not too worry, I'm sure they'll be fine soon enough...
and even if they aren't... they will still be all right!! =D

After that was done.. did some more plannings....
Abel appointed Roger & Melanie to be the leader and assistant leader of the SOAR Advisors team.. *Applause*
not to brag or anything, but I can be certain that some people would wonder why Roger and not me....
as Abel mentioned..... Roger is a very organised person and plus it's like training for the two of them to lead... not that the others aren't as good to lead.. [They'll eventually get their turns... ;p]
and besides that, I am also a member of the Student Council and I'll have other things to take care of myself.... I am already the main lias-on for Orientation anyway!
plus, I've enough experience to spare.... it's good to have someone have the chance at such experiences...

After the plannings were done, most of us headed on home or wherever they needed to be.... Me, Roger, Hiew & Kimberley went to eat lunch at DPS......
after a comfortable lunch, we tiredly headed back to campus, where we spent some time outside the Student Services...
there, I explained to them about how to conduct the campus tour....
and after that, we had much of a photo taking session, using Hiew's ever so new and expensive HP... hahah!
very nice pictures had been produced out of that afetrnoon alone... but too bad it's mostly of the four of us! hahaha!!

now.. Hiew & I were like thinking about starting a online group.. to post up these photos and stuffs...
I just might start that some day soon....

anyway.. forgotten that Abel wanted to knwo of some of the plannings that we did on our own after he had to leave for a meeting...
so we went to meet him at his work place...
hehee... there, we did do our work... but also spent much leisure time... listening to loads and loads of songs... transfering and exchangin them...
and only hours later did we actually finsih what we were supposed to be doing....

Hiew had long left us then, and Abel, Kimberley, Roger & I went to have our dinner at Lou Bin Tang... at about 9pm just now? or was it earlier?
anyway... before, while & after eating, we got to talk alot... hehe.... we sure do a lot of talking, huh?
it was a nice conversation... and a comfortable time...

Sigh... my eyes are actually burning.... must be the lack of sleep.... or the fact that I've been sleeping VERY early in the morning for the past few weeks....
hehee... but I feel I'm gonna be enjoying myself a lot more at this part of my life now...
hehehe!
