ya the thing turned out to be quite fun lar.

wed morning came early. xtine was earlier, at some 0724. weirdo. then there was registration then we got this booklet. then we saw the blardy spastic cheer and not as spastic song and the oh-so-chim focus questions.

then we went to the auditorium which looks very chio if not fer the very RED seats. then there was a boring talk by the guest of honour who was late and lame and not funny at all. sorry. the light show after that was cool, then a video. and then panel discussions. very... informative.

but not the kinda thing you'd wanna do on a wednesday school holiday morning.

oh ya then there were these uwc peeps sitting in front of me and henry who were making a lot of noise and making a fool of themselves but were actually quite amusing. jokers. actually right, the uwc peeps really made the thing more fun la with their funny comments. but it was really cool how they were so united. like, ppl frm diff diff countries.

ahh then theyd invited jeremy and soowei from power 98 to talk about radio and stuff and they were giving away lots and lotsa prizes woohoo. CDs posters notebooks postcards mugs. funfair. speaking of which me and zhihui won cos we answered jeremy's question. i won some nelly and oasis posters and notebook and a nas cd. no, not my cup of tea.

the sub groups' items were quite cool also. not bad lar the dances. then it was LUNCH!! woohoo everyone woke up and got excited. food was nice btw. bleh anything's nice if u havent had breakfast and you've spent 5 hrs in an auditorium constantly reminding yourself that you're wasting second after second of your life. urgh. darren and xtine were complaining. henry and i certainly were. ohwells.

then they had orientation games. which.. were quite fun lar. then met up with subgroups. Media 5. nice people. nice facilitators. shimin the slack queen. nah she wasn't slacky lar she just encouraged us to whenever there was free time. and carin who was also friendly. together they were both amused having had to put up with our dearest hci-an jingbo. haha. nonsense noe that guy. a lot of crap. but he's quite smart la can tell. but still very crappy and full of nonsense. good company.

and thru him we realised chinese high's kinda whatever. cos they're very proud that their school's 46 (cantremember.idoncareanyway) hectares. and that their houses are called consortiums for act-pro purposes. and that their very electricity-efficient students. hah. whateverr!!

then it was the end and i was hungry so had dinner with the exhausted henry and "why do the two of you look tired?" slash boring-part-of-the-day-ponner- cheryl.

the next day we were draggin ourselves to ny cos our morales were damaged by the thought of the many other things and places we would rather do/be, by the end of the first day. but i guess we were a bit excited cos of the power98 station visit. and media hadta meet up at 0730 waddahell.

so we had more discussions. then we left fer power 98. 48 stops. two VERY long bus rides which were unfortunately too uncomfy to make up fer the lack of sleep.

when we reached the station we were greeted by shereen and soowei. so we were split. so media 5 and 6 we first went into this room where they did recording and jeremy talked to us about radios and DJs and stuff. then we went into the recording room where they were actually having a show going on. damn cooolll... then we saw the computer program which had all the songs and trailers arranged and stuff.

then we went into this trailer-making room where we met mags and joe augustin. then more talking and discussing and showing us the cool stuff they had/did there. then they aired I Want You!! for some reason i got very excited cos of the lack of vj students that day, that place that week. (sense of place blah blah blah)

then we went into this room where soowei actually let us practise deejaying. ah that was the coolest la. like, the end of a song then she'll cue fer us to say stuff and intro the next song. damn cool ahh. then she'd rewind and let us hear ourselves.

then we left and we got goodie bags and i took lotsa decals and i realised i took a bit too many so i thoughtfully shared them with the other ppl there.

we had lunch there. cheap, good food. and then another one and a half hours in the bus.

then more Media discussions, but this time there was a special guest. Christine Chan or something like that, she's the channel 5 newsreader. so she told us all about newscasting like what goes on behind the scenes and all the prep and promos, her life. stuff totally irrelevant to the discussion topic but hey who cares. oo and she was late so the uwc dude behind me damn unhappy and kept saying funny stuff. haha. funny people.

then there was more project proposal discussion and more slacking thanks to our dearest facilitator SM lee. im not complaining btw.

then it was mass games budden it started to rain so we had some mass sing song session which was lame. in the end when it did stop raining we played the games at the basement carpark. fun games. dirty. and the stupid ping pong ball game had my whole face covered in flour. and it was in my hair and on my shirt. urrghh. bah the games were fun la.

then that was day two.

din go fer day three cos left fer kl that morning. but they said it was most fun. hmm. wasted lar. but ohwells see the thing was actually quite fun despite THE moments¹. and i guess im continuing with the 3 months follow up. since those two days were quite fun.
