Well, I just came back from campfire for the J1 orientation, stinky and smelly.

Was watching the J1 orientation for the past week, and it made me feel that I want to go back to orientation last year and be more enthusiastic. I actually felt jealous when I was seeing the juniors playing the slippery slope and other orientation games, and it made me realised how time has past so quickly and we are now in J2, and by next year, we will all be going to NS already. We also got to meet our juniors this year, and we had fun playing with them. They seem to be nice people, but they weren't that enthusiastic on Wednesday. I guessed its just being their first day with us and we made them play all those games. But today, seeing them able to come up with a wonderful flag and nice item within a short time impressed me. Especially so when they gathered together during the song session.

Was watching war games this morning, and I realised how Ares shrank from the largest faculty to the smallest, and they got 'bullied' by the other faculties. The war game was as grand, especially so when the 4 different mass of people in 4 different colours running towards each other bases. But in the end, we all knew who would win since their base was virtually filled with their own people and no one else. But the spirit was there, and I enjoyed how they tried to fight back. But failed of course. I couldnt believe I was the first few to run out of the audi just to see the war game. :

In the evening, we went to the hall to see the performance since it was drizzling, and I really love the Ares faculty dance! I think its the nicest among all the dance, and I really hope that we can win the competition even though we have a disadvantage. Then we went down for mass song and dance session. I remembered that the last time I joined in for the song session was during MAF, and the last time I danced the mass dance was during campfire last year. It really reminded me of the orientation days, which were tiring but fun. Was laughing like crap when we were trying to recall the dance steps, and was shocked that Miss Ho could dance even better than us.

Though it was hot and stuffy, I really enjoyed every moment of it. It reminded me of the past events that the people will get together to sing and dance. I guess the real thing I like about HC is how the seniors will mingle with the juniors and the whole thing about the HC spirit. I remembered the first few days when I stepped into HC. I inititally wanted to go VJ first, but my parents refused, and I didnt really feel that I would enjoy the life there. However, when the days past, and when I got to know more people, it wasnt that intimidating after all. I remembered that there were only 20 Cat High people as compared to the hundreds og high school and NY people. Then we got to meet our seniors, who really made us felt more in home and everything. And when such events take place, it is quite alarming and heartening that so many people, including seniors and grand seniors and great grand seniors will come back and join us. Especially so when the central plaza is filled with people. I got to meet many people here that share the same interest with me, and it changed my mindset that I will actually be discriminated if I enter HC. I guessed tonight's experience reallyproved that I am indeed part of the family, if not I would not have jumped and screamed and danced.

HC-Ares-07S70! All the way! :)
