One of the carnivall games that were held on 1st day of orientation as well as promoting the LG Ice cream hp and there
were Baskin Robbins ice cream to be savoured foc too...hehe....
Here's a short summary of the events during the orientation week.First day was basically the welcome speeches by the various big shots from the uni such as the student council rep,vice chancelor,MUSA(Monash University Students' Association).Besides that,there was also the MOlympic Games recruitment where those freshies who are interested in being part of the games registered their respective names for the various games that will be held.Some of the games that were enlisted are tug of war,hydro balloon war,blind football and etc.True enough,they sounded interesting enough,don't they?At first,I had interest in participating in the games but after seeing that a lot of people are signing up for it,I ended up not signing up for it.Instead,I registered myself for the Orientation Bash organised by MUSA for us,the newbies(haha!) that will take place in Port Dickson on the 7th of March which is on a Saturday and it's a one day trip where there will be games and activities for us.This is not usual kind of activities that I will opt for before this but then I tell myself,if I want to try something different and a little out of my comfort zone,this is the time for me.And I'll definitely enjoy myself to the max on that day and make new friends..Looking forward to that!
Then on the second day of the orientation week,there was this campus tour where the seniors appointed showed us around the campus and the facilities.Come to third day,attended the study skills workshop conducted by Dr. Eric Wong where the essential matters like the proper methods on doing referencing when doing assignments,effective time management,presentation skills and how to write assignments were brought up to our attention.It was interesting but the only thing that I did not really like is that it is too long and towards the end,I got hungry and didn't really pay much attetion to it and waited for it to come to an end.After had lunch with my coursemates,headed to the library to read newspapers and chill down before I went back to the apartment.
On the fourth day which is today,went to uni to have my lunch and handed in the Orientation Bash form.I attended the transitional issues and assertive skills workshop and it was divided into two sections held in two different places.The transitional issues one was up first and it was presented by the MUSA president where it basically tell us how to get the lecture notes,past year papers,and tips on surviving uni life.There were station games introduced but they were a little unexciting and dull.Next,we moved on to the assertive skills conducted by the uni's counselor where we were thought on how to be more assertive in life and I learnt a lot from this workshop.Will learn to be more assertive.
Tomorrow will be the last day of the orientation week and what's left is the workshop for our course that's made compulsory for every student studying the Business course from 2 to 4.
Anyway,for dinner tonight,I attempted to cook instant noodles(Prawn mee flavour,hehe) using the rice cooker and it turned out to be alright.The soup for the instant noodles tasted quite good actually,it's just that it lacked the smell of prawns compared to the real one and also I didn't add in the usual ingredients like bean sprouts and prawns,so it's just noodles inside.Next time will bear in mind to get some frozen crab meat and eggs so that I can have a bowl of more wholesome noodles.Overall,my first attempt in cooking noodles using rice cooker = success!Hehe!
