O-Night!

It has been 4 days of gruelling activities during Zenith 2008.

We had our Temasek Amazing Race on Thursday where we had to run around Tampines area to play games at different stations to earn points for our group. Each clan has a few OGs representing it and all our points would contribute to the final tally that would eventually determine who would be the winning clan for this year’s orientation. I’m in OG 7 (Yeah!) and my clan is called Panthera, which is represented by a lion.

Let me pick out some of the highlights. During the race, we had to play a game that required us to search for items in a specific area. There were 10 items all together and one of the items we had to find was a, err… Kotex pad. Eventually, we managed to find most of the items sans the pad and something else. Then we had to make up a story involving all the 10 items. The story was just sick and gross with a part going like “The mother took out the pad she was wearing and gave it to her child…”

Err, okay.

We had mass games on Friday where we had to compete with other OGs during the games to earn points for our clan. Luckily we didn’t have to play many wet games or play a game where we had to stick our faces in flour to retrieve something with only our mouths. In the evening, it was one of the highlights of orientation where we had Mass Dance @ Suntec Fountain of Wealth! Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera so I don’t have any pictures… oh well. It was definitely a great experience to dance around the fountain with the water being sprayed in many different patterns and with all the lights shining to create the magical ambience.

Tourists and people stared at us but we just didn’t care and continued to dance the night away. We also ran around the fountain many times and kept screaming and cheering away. Yay for us! It was a tiring but very enjoyable night! =)

Yesterday we had OG outing in the morning at East Coast Park where we played group games, Frisbee and some of us went to play bowling after that. It was weird to be going out with the OG after meeting them for just a few days but it was a new experience I guess. It was still fun though, a nice way to bond and get to know more people.

We headed back to school together and had a short clan briefing before we moved to the hall for the start of O-Night! The hall was done up beautifully with a small stage erected in the middle of the hall and decorated with leaves and nets to give it a safari feel. Oh yes, on the way in, there was a red carpet laid out for us all the way to the entrance of the hall, I think most of us felt like celebrities there and then.

O-Night was wonderful with the clan skits, beauty and talent contest and great emceeing by the 2 emcees in charge who hammed it up and provided laughter to all of us by portraying different characters throughout the night. Nice job! Occasionally, the emcees reached into a bowl that contained “DARE-dication” slips written by others and the people had to go up the stage to complete the dares.

Imagine my group’s surprise when we were dared to go on stage to build a human pyramid! Oh my, we were stumped and lost for words for a while but we eventually completed the task when I climbed to the top (since I was the lightest guy…) and waved my hands in triumph! That feat earned Panthera 1000 points! Woohoo!

The night ended with the announcing of the winning clan of this year’s orientation 2008 and I’m proud to say that Panthera has held on as the winning clan for the 2nd year running! The hall then exploded with our cheers and screams because we had won!!! Applause please!

There was also a performance by a Samba group from ITE Simei who rocked the night with their samba beats and songs. One guy from another clan also went on stage to beat-box! He beat-boxed JT’s Sexyback which was uber cool! We had fun forming human chains and running around, clapped, screamed, jumped and screamed even more till we went hoarse.

I know I kinda mentioned that the night had already ended but we continued on anyways by having mass dance! We danced to the tunes of “S Club”, “Retarded”, “Speedy” and the Indian song which I can’t remember the title to. We danced the night away till our feet ached but we didn’t care, of course.

After that, the OGLs handed our group pictures to us and we exchanged thanks. It was indeed a memorable experience and all of us were sad that Zenith 08 was over… Aww. Took group pictures and we had supper together after that.

"We are fire!

We are warriors!
We are fire warriors!
We will fight, we will kill, we will come to fight and kill!
Fight kill, fight kill, fight kill, fight kill, fight kill!"

One of the coolest ‘Thera cheers ever!
Say the last sentence really quickly and it sounds like…

Anyways some pictures!




Thank you OGLs!
You guys were wonderful! (:
