Worship team bonding, JC orientation

Friday, Jan 4, 3rd day of school

Clara didn't go to school cos' she went for some tooth extraction =(
Paulina came only to hand in the form, then she went back cos' she was sick =(

We started off by going to one of the classrooms so our lovely OG tutors (Ms Au and Mdm Pitra) could settle the administrative stuff like looking through our choices for our subject combinations.
There was SO much time, Deborah and I got sleepy, so we put our heads on the tables and slept -.-

We went for break as a group again, which is good cos' it's like something we do on our own accord.
Y'know, other JCs make it a must to have the group eat together and here we're given the freedom to look for our own sec school mates and makan. Wah, I'm so proud of my group haha even though we're not THAT close yet.
After that we went to the toilet as a group AGAIN. LOL. That's why I love cetus 4. I said earlier that we're not THAT close.. yet when 2 or 3 people visit the toilet, the whole group waits for them outside! This is something you don't see (or at least I haven't heard of it) in other groups! Which makes us stand out =)

Then... then we had the college dance.
The girls in my OG went to spread out, stand in one line and wait for a partner to appear. I find this funny. (come on people, laugh, laugh.)
My partner was Wayne =) After hearing some not very nice experiences from Alexia (her partner doesn't know how to hold her hand properly) and Hilary (from YJC, she said her partner had terribly sweaty palms), I think Wayne rocks. Haha cos' he's neither.
The steps are actually rather simple, but somehow we just can't seem to remember the whole thing. For example, ppl like me who gets distracted and keeps doing it wrongly and must depend on the partner especially for the holding hands part which is like, almost the whole dance. Oops.

We then got to the basketball court together with half the freshmen population. Cetus 4 picked a shady spot and was saved from the scorching heat of the sun (: Jerome joined us only after we've settled down as he was looking for Ben (Yeo Mei's partner) who had disappeared to the toilet for a long time after the dance. We suspected that he went into hiding -.-
The orientation committee (if there's one) must have run out of ideas because we played POLAR BEAR. It's similar to the one we play in church. Well anyway polar bear has no link whatsoever to the villagers and polar bears and the fortune teller. I mean huh, polar bear can go to a village meh? Woah! Now THAT's something!
We also played Murderer, the squeezing hand one. I was the murderer with Jack. Haha, we kill until very shiok. Never get caught. Just act innocent =)
The OGLs from cetus 1-4 taught these 4 groups some cheers. That was cool, especially the one with the girls' screaming xD What's not cool is that they put us in OGs, we become so bonded, and are later forced to split into different classes based on our subject combinations. Tsk.

School ended at 12:30pm!! Other JCs don't get this kind of privilege =P It's mainly cos' our orientation stretches till next Friday. So the fun doesn't just end in 3 days. Really, thank God for SRJC!



Saturday, 5th Jan, Worship Team Bonding

We started out by having some ice-breakers prepared by the sec 3s. I mean, sec 4s (oh man I'm old, i'm no longer a sec 4) Sarah and Abigail. The forfeits were lame but we did have a good laugh seeing everyone do their ka-chings xP

James led everyone in worship.. What's a worship team bonding supposed to be without worship? Haha. It was relatively refreshing, to worship God with just a guitar as accompaniment and not an entire band. It's like "coming back to the heart of worship".

Boon Yeow then shared some stuff with us from Genesis and reminded us of our mission as a worship team... also that we are first a Christian, then something else.

I will continue the update another time.. i'm so sleepy now, i'm dozing off in front of the monitor. will upload the bonding photos onto the youth ablaze worship multiply account.
