orientate me to a new world

from spending the first waking hours of Orientation Day1 on my knees in my toilet puking my guts out, to Day4 on the arms of my clan celebrating our loss like no other clan, there has never been an experience like that ever. and if you asked me, if i could do it all over again would i change anything, as tempted as i may be to say "yes", my heart insists on answering "no", cause i wouldnt dare risking to change anything, cause the process along with the result was just all too beautiful to risk missing.


Orientation rocked. I swear.


and its honestly all thanks to OGLs: maryam, sam, amitha, vincent, derrick, brandon, may, song xi, shang long, kenneth, suat, kamun, tze jie, yenyang, jennifer, wilson, amanda, yanning, karen, song yan, warda, esti, angelina, cheryl, yuan jing, stephanie, shu han, amelia, shereen, chuan li, nat, claudyne, wanting, john, betsy, grace, gita. zi hui, anh, lihao, fenny, vanessa, dwight, desiree and all those else who made it possible. These are the people that made it what it was. These were the guys that pushed and brought out the best in the years 1s.


and they might say its cheesy, but with all honesty, it was seeing the year 1s have fun that really made my day.


and while leading from day 2 all the way to day 4 may have been good, it honetsly didnt matter if we won or lost. cause in the end, it was all down to how much fun we had. and honestly, it was true. we really did BOND.


and oh how we rocked.
the year 1s were amazing. and the OGLs too..


fuck. you guys have no idea how proud i am of you guys. and how freaking touched and grateful i am to be associated with you guys, even in the slightest way.

you were more than brilliant. you were phenomenal. and we left our mark in orientation. take pride in the fact that for three days in a row, every clan was aspiring to beat us. we were the mark to beat. and you set it. all of you. so congrats. you definitely have every reason to be proud.


and while i admit i dont have the slightest clue what on earth love is. i do know this. a bond between a group of people who have never met each other before. a unity forged between total strangers brought together for the most trivial reason that has become so dam impactful and charged. a unity like that. thats pure magic.


lots of love. the proudest member of Alpha possible.
