Muhahaha, it seems like school had started!
Well, polytechnic life seems to be much more interesting than I thought it would be. The lecturers were good and time seems to pass quickly during lessons. Maybe it's because that I'm interested in most of the subjects.
Okay, let me recall my polytechnic life, starting from the orientation.
Day 1 of the orientation: I travelled to
TP by bus no.72 followed by bus no.23 together with
CX.
When we reach there, there were not much people there (we reached slightly earlier). However, we were told to wait. By the time the registration started, the amount of people there had become almost uncountable. At the registration counter, they were using this "new" bar code system which required us to print something that look like an out if shape square. Thing didn't went so well for me. Something had gone wrong when I printed my bar code, as a result, my bar code was halved the original size. Due to that the scanner was unable to scan my bar code. Luckily, I remembered my admission number when I was asked for it. After the registration, we went to the Lecture Theatre (LT) according to which ever course we were in. We got to know our care group (class), care person (form teacher), classmate, etc...
I and
CX landed up in the same class, this means that we will likely be classmate for another 3 years (that makes 7 years!), unless...
Something happens...
For the rest of the day; we played some ice-breaking games which had some terrible forfeits; listen to our course manager's speech, mass dance in sports complex, etc. After dinner, my course got to bath 1st (lucky!), there's also water heater which surprised me. After that we were supposed to have this "night-walk", however it got delayed by one hour. During the one hour, our
OL shows us some rather interesting YouTube videos. The "night-walk" was about finding out who was the killer in a short video clip that was shown to us. During the process we went to places that had almost no light, and there were lots of probes and
OLs acting as "ghost". Maybe the "ghost" were meant to scare people (didn't work on me or anyone else in my class as we were all guys) and to make sure nothing went wrong in the dark room. I could felt the efforts put into the "night-walk" and I appreciate it. After that we had to move our bags to the sports complex (which was pretty far). And I had to carry 3 bags (1 of them belongs to
CX as he didn't sign his form and got kick home) which were damn heavy, however there's always a bright side to thing, I got to use
CX's sleeping bags as my head pillow to sleep.
Day 2 of the orientation: I slept for 5 hours, which was quite a lot considering that I was sleeping outside. For the second day we played station games (there's 5 stations in total). The 1st station was something like... a person from his class had to go up to get a card, there's a word on the card and the person need do actions to let his class know what the word was. If he could not do so, he will get splash! The 2
nd station was table soccer.., with the exception that the footballers were real people. I still remember how
CX bullied the girls he was facing in the game. The 3rd station was... mines sweeper except that there's no hint on where the mines were. Basically, there were 4 columns and 15 rows, there were 3 mines in each row and 1 safe spot, we had to test and find out all the safe spots slowly and get our whole class across. People that step on the mines would get splash. The 4
th station was the most terrible out of all station, I would said that it was not a game but a torturing session that got people totally wet (I didn't bother to take part in this station).
To be continued... (Going DotA now)
Okay since I already
forgotten what had happened, I'm not going to continue this.
