Orientation

I ended my semester break holiday few days earlier, rushed back to KL to get involved in the 2 days Orientation sessions, as a mentor/facilitator for the new students.

3rd May

Reached the college main block at around 10am. Well, it's quite nice to be back to HELP, although nothing changed. The orientation started with some speeches don't know by who (I didn't attend that session, was chit-chatting with other mentors outside ;P) until 11.15am at the Theater at mainblock. Then, these new 'fleshes' were grouped into 10 in a group, and yea, our job started, which was being a Tour Guide, showing them where are the important places in the college, from mainblock to Wisma HELP, KPD A & E. Of course, we brought them to some places where students used to hangout at or for makan. After about 1 and a half hour's touring, we ended our duty by having lunch with them.

hm..i actually found that, this intake got more guys!!(It's a gd news!) although the number of girls is still higher than the boys. I don't know why there are more females than males choose to study psychology (in HELP, don't know other coll/uni's condition), is Psychology a feminine subjects ? (hm.....)

4th May

The second day of orientation. Reached KPD at nearly 9am. Met up with CS and other mentors and helpers, had some discussions and suggestions for the programme of the day. 'Meet the Seniors' session started at 10am, with brief introduction of ARCCADE by Eric (lol), and new students were divided into groups according to the name of some famous psychologist they being randomly assigned to.

Then, we played some games together..nah, i bet you're not interested in types of games we played, it was kind of ..well..u know..what to do..(lol). But overall, wasn't so bad, at least nobody was being tortured (I hope so ><) and we/they really made some friends!

My mentees are mostly from HMC, they are energetic & creative! Some of them are over 30s, they are mature and calm. I guess, they will definately hav lots of fun and experiences while interacting among themselves =) .

After the orientation, I went for movie with CS, 'Wild Hogs' . Hm...the story was quite alright, it's all bout four midle-age men, gd friends, from different backgrounds (stories), formed a riding team called ' Wild Hogs' , Malay transcript is Babi Liar, (lol). And, some funny stuffs and lessons they had along their journey. It was quite a funny movie, killed part of my boredooms away. I get the movie ticket with student price for RM6 in MidVally (^^Y).

And then..still not the end, hehe. I had dinner/yumcha with friends from the forum in little restorant in Serdang. I ordered Fish & Chips, which I don't order usually, the reason for me to do so was because it's really cheap, only RM5.50, and the portion was quite BIG, 2 pieces of fishes + salad + fries + source. However, I found it was very greasy and the fish wasn't so tasty, probably the cooking oild has been used over and over again don't know how many billion times! (yuck!). Well, the drinks was quite cheap! It's only RM1.50 ~ RM2.50 per big glass =D

Reached home around 11pm. It was a beautiful (today's evening scenes were awesome) and tiring day. =)
