O-Day Festival '09

This is the day that culminates an entire week's worth of information session, events and crazy meet ups that is UWA's O-Week.

And it's been an absolute blast! Well, O-Day has been I guess. Some of the FACFind Days were a little dreary. This week alone, I've been heading to uni every single day of the week. It does get rather tiring.

Ironically enough, although most of my interest lies with my Communications course, I know more people doing Commerce, Engineering, Science, Medicine and Architecture than I do the people doing Arts!

First up - I had to go for the Commencement Ceremony where we received our...*drum roll* commemorative keyring! *crash cymbals*
Somehow, the words 'commemorative' and 'keyring' simply don't go together. I at least expected a statue. A plague. But a keyring??

Meanwhile, I have been conned into joining almost 6 clubs during the UWA O-Day today.
Okay, so I intentionally joined the Malaysian Student's
Union and will hopefully be going after the AIESEC organisation. However, I was most definitely conned by the Singaporean Student's Society, sorely tempted by the ASIA group[and eventually gave in], amazed by the United Nations Youth Organisation and rather daringly pointed at and dragged to the Arts Union.


Okay, so maybe the others weren't such a waste of time. But the Arts Union maybe was. And I wasn't kidding about the SSS since they more or less hijacked me and my friends and wouldn't let us go till we joined.
Most clubs were giving out 'freebies' as well. Take MSU, who included a pack of Indomie in their goodie bag. My dad is of the great belief that I was won over by a simple pack of Indomie. I told him I wasn't 'simply bribed' by the Indomie because I had no idea that we were getting freebies. If I'd known, I would've haggled for a pack of Maggi Mee first. Like any ordinary Malaysian would.

All in all, a good week. My shoulders are hurting from all the freebies the clubs gave us. Although the Guild has more or less managed to dosh out my lunch in that time span.
So thanks to the Guild. =)
