My IMU Pharmacy Orientation (wee kiat)

Ok, here are some pics taken from my IMU pharmacy orientation that i would like to share with all of you g12s. Sorry its kinda late, my orientation was actually way back in January, about 2 months back. Ok, here goes:

My orientation lasted for about a week, beginning from Monday and ending on Saturday. Here's a brief description of my orientation group. My orientation group is named Pom~Pomtianaks, which came from one of my O.Os(Orientation Officer, which is actually the seniors in charge of our group). It consists of 9 members, and 8O.Os! Our base, where we prepared for most of our orientation activities, is located in Vista Komanwel B, directly opposite IMU. The pic below consists of all my orientation group members and most of my O.Os:

(From left) 1st row: Wani, Cynthia(O.O), Iris, Shien Nee, Cheryl, Yi Zhe, Sze Ying, me, Ken(O.O) 2nd row: Ken Juin, Chen Chen(O.O), Wen Chin(O.O), Piriya(O.O), Yvonne

Monday:
The theme for the first day was heroes vs villains, where each of us in a group had to dress up in any of the 10 heroes or villains assigned to us. All groups were assigned the same characters, so you would end up seeing lots of wolverines or matrix duos walking around.

Well, on monday, i was...

MOjO jOjO!!!

All groups had to go up on stage and do all the weird tasks given by our seniors:


After that, it was treasure hunt time, we had to run all over the komanwel park located just outside IMU. We had garlic water, flour, and chinese ink poured all over us, kind of mild compared to the previous years. It was certainly a tiring 1st day, but nevertheless fun! We ended up being the 1st team on the standings on the 1st day, and amazingly, lead all the way til the end! We were given a very important clue due to that and was a vital part for the upcoming saturday's event, the detective game.

Tuesday:
On Tuesday, it was dance nite, all groups were handed a short audio clip containing 2 songs fused back2back. Ours was the wizard of Oz fused with ShavaShava from the famous Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gam bollywood movie. We practised our dance for 2days, and it turned out just great, hahaha.

The awesome threesome, consisting of the tin man, the lion, and the wizard of Oz

With not enough time to prepare for my costume, I ended up being the furless lion. Check out my specially designed fur down there, hahahaha.

Wednesday:
Wednesday's theme was mismatched couples,featuring unlikely couples from different movies.And after that, we went for our anticipated detective game, where we were first shown a short movie and given the task to solve the mystery of the case, meaning to say that we had to determine who was the murderer among the few seniors featured in the movie. It was sort of like the 1st day again, and based on the clue obtained from the treasure hunt on the 1st day, we sort of managed to solve 3/4 of the mystery. We got the murderer right, hehe, thanks to our brilliant and helpful seniors.

Thursday:
On Thursday, it was our very own project runway, all of us had to design clothes from whatever materials assigned to us. As for my group, it was made out from plastic bottles, as u will see in the few pics below:

All these were part of a short sketch we had to perform

O!!! And guess what??!! Weison and Winnie were the MODELS for their respective groups for the nite, hahaha, we should get them to tell us their their part of the story...

Friday:
Friday was the final day of our orientation, and the theme of the day was Egyptian nite. There were pharoahs, anubis, mummys, pyramids, so on and so forth. Here are a few pics from Friday's event: I was pyrami

I was the pyramid with the rotating head for the nite

After that, we had our telematch, which was wet, soggy, and way tiring. Ask any one of the pharmacy students from my batch how long they took to clean up after the telematch, and on average, they would definitely say...30 minutes. But of course, it was enjoyable, we even got a chance to hit back on our seniors fro all the things they did to us throughout the whole orientation, hehe. More pics below:

Pom~pomtianaks rule!!! Haha, check out our banner...

Saturday:
Final day, it was sort of like a closing ceremony. Theme of the day was retro. On this nite, we had perfomances from our seniors, the answers for the detective game in the form of another movie, and also the prize giving ceremony. I must say that the video that revealed the answer for the detective game was simply brilliant, a round of applause to the seniors who produced it.

In short, I really did enjoy the orientation. Though the whole 1 week was exhausting, for all the time spent preparing for the costume and performances for the orientation to the point where i nearly dozed of during lecture hours (oreintation ends at 10.30pm on average everyday, and classes start at 8am), I must say that really had agreat time during this whole orientation. We got to know nearly half of the pharmacy batch, fool around, and most importantly laughed our heads off! If given a chance, I would go for the whole orienatation again, haha. Well, anyhow we would be the ones in charge of organizing the next orientation for our juniors the following year.

We really had a great time thoughout the whole orientation, thanks so much to my team members, for the great times we've had, and also to our seniors, who spent so much time and effort helping us out. You guys were simply amazing!
