Year 5 orientation 2008
Ok so here starts a brand new year and yes there's Year 5 Orientation! whee! (: This year's orientation was half a day shorter and more hectic with longer days as compared to last years, but the programme was more or less the same. There were two factions: EE and TOK! No, they don't stand for the IB 4000 word long Extended Essay, and Theory of Knowledge, but The Extended Empire and The Tribe of knowledge, "brilliantly" thought up by our dear Jlow and Butler. First day there were station games, and my station was the mass dance station and collection of orientation packacages. BZB and I danced the mass dance like 13 times in total, and I swear I could have lost like some weight over there. haha! (: Second day was the ACSiting race, where teams had to race a team from the opposing faction. Antay and I were the gamemasters for station 8 which was the FOUNTAIN OF WEALTH, the world's largest fountain. yes.

There the "majestic" largest fountain in the world. Ok so basically our station was pretty tough going for the year 5s haha, as it was duckwalking half the circumference of the circle of fence that enclosed the fountain at road level, and say a letter of International Baccalaureate after 10 steps. But somehow I think that was even less than what we had to endure last year, as I vaguely remember duckwalking the entire circle of restuarants downstairs at the basement. It was a interesting sight I would say. haha (: The second part of our station was to do the mass dance, without the music sadly, and lastly to take group photos! (: so here are some photos for you to enjoy. yes.


So then comes day three. There was mass dance in the morning followed by telematch. Telematch wasn't as dirty as ours either, actually it was pretty "clean" seeing that they had to dive on a groundsheet with soap water on it, while we had to dive on the muddy ground itself. It didn't help that it was sunny and no matter how much water we splashed onto the ground to make it muddy. ): oh well, but I had a really fun time putting gel on people's hair haha and screaming at them to wear their big shirt thing thing properly. haha (: after telematch there was the cca fair, followed by cheering and then mass dance once again for the last time. We had a faction dance-off and then we councillors, who just couldn't get enough of the mass dance, had a separate dance-off for ourselves. haha (: (: you just wouldn't be able to imagine the glee on BZB's face. haha! (: oh yes and we also had an orientation dinner on the last day, friday (: as the councillors could only take food last, (not like there was anymore food when it came to our turn) we had like super great time playing the hand-multiples-of-five game and the yo-check-it-out game! (: (:
Orientation was pretty good and fun for us councillors, OGLs and the councilogl (our dear kyle), though I'm not too sure if the Year 5s enjoyed it as much as us, or even half as much as us. But they were a more enthusaistic bunch than us, which is a start. (: (: yup so good luck year 5s on your journey through these two years, and all the best to that elusive 45 points! (:

The game
So you think that this is a game?
I think so too
It's been fun playing this little game with you
But I think it has to stop
I think so too
It's been fun playing this little game with you
But I think it has to stop
And the truth has to come out
The world isn't perfect all of us know that
Something like that won't ever happen again
You can count on me to prevent it
Just f***ing keep your distance
And stop acting like you care
Life isn't a bed of roses
Everyone goes through the same ups and downs
I've learnt from this little lesson
I hope you have too
Cause it's not going to continue in this manner
Let's shake hands
The world isn't perfect all of us know that

I've learnt from this little lesson
I hope you have too
Cause it's not going to continue in this manner
Let's shake hands
Take a bow
And let's forget what has happened
And start over again
To know each other again
It's been great playing this little game with you
Where there isn't a winner neither is there a loser
I thank you for the experience
I've learnt finally and accepted the truth
So thank you
And let's forget what has happened
