The start of the freshmen orientation camp...

Every year there are people coming in and out of hall, and every year this is the time when new friendships are created. Freshies begin to flood the common hall at 12pm sharp...can't wait to get to know one another ya? :P Everything runs pretty smoothly for us and I thank God for that! The weather is fine and the games are fun too, except that I don't really get to play as I will have to help out around. Tonight's supper will be my first task for this orientation camp...a time to learn to be a great cook and preparation to be a good housewife???

The hall orientation camp (in short is HAVOC=Hall V Orientation Camp) brought me back to the first time I get to know my OG mates then and friends to go out with for lunch, dinner, supper and the school holiday trips khakis. They are really one bunch of great guys to hang out with and will try to keep you company whenever you feel bored in hall. I was just like the freshies now, too shy to talk around and embarassed to dance with the guys during the mass dance. But I believe soon they will just mingle around like us and bonds will be formed.

Somehow I don't really like my hall life anymore because of numerous things that have happened here. Yet I know I will certainly miss it once I move out of here next year when I graduate. Hall life is certainly a once in the lifetime experience, a time when you learn to be independent from your home sweet home and a time you know the importance of the presence of friends whom God has sent to surround us. Someone told me before: "God loves us and he often send down angels from heaven to surround us with love. These angels are in the form of human being whom we called 'friends'."

One year on and I will be out of here...will a part of my heart stays here too? I don't know yet but I know I certainly need to treasure all the times that I am going to be left with and bring with me the happiest memories back home.

"Everything is beautiful in His time...Amen"
