Grand Juniors' Orientation 2008

Is the time of the year again. What time it is? Summer time? Nope... Cos in Malaysia, summer is almost everyday. We all know that. Party time? Hmmm... Partly right. But to be precise, is Orientation time!

This year, is my GRAND juniors' orientation. Yup...you spelled it: G-R-A-N-D. And this means im elligibly called the old woman... How sad that is :'(

IMU is well known for 2 aspects:

1st - They are money sucker for most people! [I guess im one of the victim..Trust me, there were no better option than IMU for this course.. Nasib ada PTPTN]

2nd - Their Orientation is S-U-P-E-R-B! Trust me... There is no other better place in Malaysia to ecperience such unforgetable experience! NO OTHER PLACE!!!

OK... Let's get the ball rolling! So, in most private or public institude, orientation is all about boring lectures of introduction of God-knows-what-the-heck-are-these-subjects-all-about! The most an orientation would go would be taking pics with the juniors. That's if you wanna put your pride down as a senior and the juniors are humble enough to make friends with you.

In IMU, is abit different. To be frank, this year's orientation is WAY TO MILD for the juniors. Indeed! I know what are you thinking..."She's just beating around the bush to say that this orientation was BORING"

Erm.. Yea... sort of in comparison with the orientation that I had. Honestly, the greatest orientation ended 3 years ago. Our batch has the priviledge to enjoy the last bit of fun. Why? Ask those who went to the dean complaining about the fun... *grumph*

The outdoors games were so 'unchallenging'. Instead of sucking a whole mouthfull of spicy water and transfer into the other bucket by duck-walk, this year.. it was substituted with 2 person into a guy's XXXL Boxers and walked down the Underwear Walkway! It's like 2-men-3-legs game. To pour 1kg salt to the wound, all pharmacy customs are demolished. Yes... All of them!

See the size boxers! Burning flame boxers.. Not very much amusing..

There are 2 separated custom in Pharmacy orientation; for Him and for Her.

For Him: 2 girls need to roll raw eggs from one side of the shoulder in the shirt the guy are wearing, and come out from the shorts of the guy, opposite the site of the body. [Get what i mean?, I hope so]. Each girl have to repeat for 40 times.

For Her: ['kacang aje' for me].. Try to get a key from a whole aquarium of fish food; the earthworms.

However, all this custom were no longer here to stay :( All they have is the flour and garlic water. And to my dismay, there are people on this earth is allergic to FLOUR! OMG! WTH? So pity... They can only feed on greens. Raw meat. They cant even have a birthday cake on their birthday cos the cake is made up of flour! STUPID and LAME excuse of not joining! In the end, the grand seniors were the one SS'ing themselves. We throw coursemates into a big bucket of water, we "make up" for coursemates using ink, we make coursemate old with tons of flour. Lucky me, some inconvenience, Im free from the action of the "wolves">>> Just downpour of flour.

IMU is very strict in their dress code. Kononnya, they intend to build a "professional" that works, acts and look like one. :( In short, dress like aunty and uncle everyday. So, during the orientation, is the time where you can dress 'differently". During my time, I was the mickey mouse on monday,the incredibles on tue, Mr Bean on wed, Princess Fiona on thurs, and current fashion on fri. We used to have 5 themes in 5 days. But this year... Sadly, it was just 1 Day! No more hussle of getting up early and get ready for our costumes.. No more brainstorming how to dress like a proper-dressed chun-li just like in the pic on the right. This girl caught my attention cos it looks like octopy to me.. Dont u think so?

The best part of this orientation was to see the juniors and seniors building bonds together. Well, in this orientation, the bond was build between the seniors and the grandseniors. This is well proven with this legendary Jay Chou (senior) and Fei Yue Ching combination. This is a video of the impromptu suggestion to refresh the memory of this pair last year.. What do u think? They do look the respective artist right?

Oh well... there are some fantastic programmes too including the hip hop dance from my juniors. Would like to post it here, but i havent get the copy from mt mentee yet.. Will upload if he managed to give it to me. They were really awesome. Learn from scratch for 4 months for a tremendous entertaining performance. Although this orientation wasnt as fun as before, but I know that the juniors have been putting there 300% effort into making this grandjunior orientation a success.

Oh well, the 2-well-known IMU factor will soon turn to one. Cos the 2nd factor will soon destroyed by all those boring rules and regulations set up due to some people that doesnt know how to appreciate all the hardwork the seniors have made for them. Too bad... Will IMU orientation fun be a legendary as well?
