10 July 2009Today all HBP students gathered at 3.00pm at E48b. Then our dean, Mr Mahyuddin is being invited to open the ceremony by giving part of speech. Our seniors were playing around by sticking a sheet of paper printed "dean" and "deputy dean" on their shirt which are removed from the seat. After that, we were given some information about which type of attire is suitable and assemble venue. Then we were told to gather at the stadium that is near to RST at 5.30pm to play futsal together. However only a small portion of the students enjoy the game. I chatted with my group members and i found that one of them originates from China. Although we are same race, but the slang that we speak is totally different. It is a cultural shock for me as i never talk to Chinese who came from Hebei China before. At around 7.00pm, the gathering dismissed and we went for our dinner.The seniors said that we have to assemble again at Dataran Merah at about 8.30pm. The following activities is designing our group's sculpture something that i assume it to be similar with landmark. Our team's cheer is SOUL. The meaning behind it is we are in the same university, we share the same dream, we have the same target that is we want to graduate from USM. That is why we have the same spirit and soul as well. We are marching towards the same destination. When the activity is going to end, it rained cats and dogs. We went back to our hostel without an umbrella and it was 1am in the midnight!

Today we were asked to gather at 10am in the morning at Dataran Merah. We gathered according to our group. Then we were given some straws, newspaper, rope and EGG.The purpose is they want us to build a carrier which can carry and avoid the EGG from broken when it is threw from 2nd floor. Then we start our work by thinking how to build the carrier. At about 2pm++, the contest started. Some group's egg broken and fortunately our group's egg remain intact. (Oh! God bless us) . This is quite interesting for all of us. We feel satisfied when we saw our egg still in good state. For those group whose egg broken, their marks will be deducted. But some of the group play foul by stick the tape on the egg and of course their egg did not break. After that, we took photo with our egg. HaHa~~

Our activity started at 10am in the morning. Our group combined with another group and we cooperate to perform on the stage. The theme is metamorphosis which means transformation. After discussion, we decided to demonstrate human life from the old age to middle age and modern age. Besides, we were required to wear mask in the banquet at night. As i am my group's leader, i have responsible to get the mask for my group members. After looking for it near Sg.Dua entrance, finally i found a package of mask which cost only RM3.50. At night, the banquet starts. We all were wearing our masks and watch performance brought by every groups. Some of it quite funny and interesting especially when those international students show their uniqueness. Although i don't really understand their languages. We were served with meal too. After the exhibition match, prize and hampers were given to those winners for this 3 days long orientation. And finally the orientation is end.
