Victorian Vaults: the Test of Time

it's been three weeks since orientation ended. it seemed like two months ago or something. everytime i think about it, i feel this strange emptiness within. it was almost like withdrawal symptoms from drugs. a few months of preparation was gone in a flash; the adhoc was meeting on an almost daily basis for two months and suddenly, we didnt have to meet up anymore.

the process of planning was a really enjoyable one. i cant thank god enough for giving me this wonderful adhoc (maybe not totally, but it's the flaws that make us treasure the other good things). i'll never forget our bitching sessions over people like WMD (weapon of mass destruction) and many-more-i-dont-think-i-should-mention, random things like the bright yellow schoolbus, our ban mian and popeye's ventures, the guys' dirty jokes, our camwhore session(one only), and the video which featured victoria's leg.

the four main days of orientation flew past in a blur. we started out excited and psyched, seeing our freshmen and OGLs clad in the shirts we designed, watching them move around the school. problems surfaced but i guess we took things into our stride and moved on. day one ended late, the victorians went home tired but happy. as the days went by, the activites grew more packed and more problems arose. there was tension within the adhoc as members broke down due to stress or disagreements. i was very afraid our adhoc would fall in the most crucial period, after we'd come so far. but we didnt; what happened made us stronger and closer, and made us realise the importance of each and every person in the adhoc.

i cried. cried hard on thursday while the ending skits were going on. i couldnt take the fact that all these were going to end. it was a very beautiful dream that i could not bear to wake up from. planning for orientation and watching orientation being carried out must have been the happiest and most wonderful times in my term as a councillor. i want to put my feelings into words but i simply cannot describe. like jerald said a few times about how he would think about orientation adhoc while going home after an adhoc dinner or meeting, and feel very xing fu (yeah, coming true from jerald). i had the exact sentiments, and im sure the rest of the adhoc did too.

when mass dance at suntec ended, and we found a place to stone up in suntec city, we just sat around and let the message sink in. while we all sighed in relief that everything is over, at the back of my mind i was dwelling in the atmosphere of the adhoc's presence and playing back memories of the process. as reluctant as i was for orientation to end, i guess i had to let go.

hearing people chat about orientation, feeling sad that it's over, and those random cheering and mentioning of orientation-related stuff around school are the best birthday presents i've gotten this year.

i really want to thank the adhoc for being the best team of people in the world, i really appreciate all of you for all that you have done (or didnt do[not meant to be sarcastic]) and making orientation so wonderful. i'll never forget all of you:

jerald (the best and nicest and secretly dirtyminded ic)

kenrick (the seemingly evil but actually very nice and 'terrible in admin' banmian lover)

lennart (the venomous and bitchy bi with a fatal stern face)

victoria (the easily amused cluedo hero with contagious laughter)

stacy (the zai treasurer with the best and most creative sarcastic comments)

kevin (the happy and innocent little boy who's starting to take after lennart)

menglu (the extremely underweight [to my envy] one who always gives a smile)

nadia (the talented artist who says 'chute' and is super encouraging)

subra (the one who stays optimistic and enthusiastic no matter what happens)

and thanks to all councillors and everyone else who helped make orientation such a success.

i love and miss orientation2009!

we really look like one happy family.

especially you.

Orientation is over. I have not totally accepted the fact yet. i guess i'll come back another day when the message has totally sunk in, to reflect and thank all that has made this event possible.

PED. Post event depression. or rather POD for post orientation depression.

i dont even feel that im turning eighteen. all that is in my mind now are images of orientation. but i guess i should treasure the last two hours of being seventeen. i'm so old :(

There's more to things
than you'll ever know,
but I'm beginning to anticipate the unknown.

Smile,
because you are worth it.
