1st day @ Orientation (O-wk)

All right, i have no photos taken cause I'm lazy LOL. Anyway, woke up at 8, had breakfast, changed and went out at 0845. Shld have taken a photo of how i looked on the 1st day ya. Yeah so i made my way towards the UQ centre with my english hse mate, Chris. We were told that there r over 2000 international students from all over the world. There are, as expected, 200+ china students, 200+ US students, 200+ canadian students and 198 sgp students and students from other countries. China and america are like taking over the world la...placing their ppl all over the world, especially china chinese. Anyway the presentation got kinda boring, wasnt informative at all, looked arnd for fellow sgporeans and attractive ppl, but didnt spot any arnd me haha. Halfway thru, Chris gotta leave for another presentation so im left alone. The presentation ended at 1030.
Had morning tea, walked arnd aimlessly hoping ppl will come up to me but none did lol. Nearing the end of the tea break, this guy, Mark, came up to me saying he found me very familiar and asked if i was in the same sch as him. Turned out I was in the same BMTC Pegasus Company as him, and he was also taking veterinary science. What a coincidence! Guess i was lucky. Then he told me he know of another guy, Wenyu, who is taking vet sci lol. Yeah so currently i know of 2 guys taking the same course as me. Not as lonely anymore haha. We went to the next presentation together and it was another boring lecture, already know most of the stuff they were talking about so yeah my eyes were wandering arnd the lecture hall again lol. Finally the presentation ended and i accompanied Mark and his friend to get their ID cards. It was such a long queue when we got there. I'm lucky i came early n settled most of my stuff beforehand. I'm so smart! =x
Waited for abt 10 mins for them to get their cards then went to find Wenyu at this Christian Church Movement(CCM) booth. Yeah im gonna be a christian.....NOT! Mark n Wenyu signed up for this club and they were giving out free HOTDOGS!!! Although i didnt sign up, i got myself a free hotdog too, cheapo ya lol. Chatted with the people in the club so as not to look like a freeloader. They were really funny and interesting people haha. After that as the weather was getting worse, we decided to head back to our own accomodation. And that's it for the day. Was really glad to get to know ppl from the same country and doing the same course. Hope to meet more people tomorrow, having a faculty talk tomorrow you see so i will update u guys again tomorrow, till then take care, good night!
