Okay. So uni orientation week has officially begun.
My feet are tired, hehe. And I've never met so many Malaysians and Singaporeans in Perth before in my life!
The day began with a 'Big Breakfast'. I have no idea what kind of meal I was expecting to be honest, but we were served with a piece of flour-like thing that slightly resembled a pancake. Or, well, they said it was a pancake. That came with honey. Which definitely tasted better than the so-called 'pancake' did.
Later, we moved on to the 'O-Quest' where we were made to go on some random treasure hunt a la 'Amazing Race'. I was grouped in with a bunch of lovely people, thankfully. And from there, we raced across [or rather, slowly strolled across] the campus answering questions and partaking in all kinds of random group activities. Such as the one where we had to form the letters U-W-A [no prizes for guessing why] with our bodies. *Leow attempted to convince our Senior student that by forming the letters with a pile of leaves, he was using his body anyway. He also attempted to convince her that the whole group using their hands would definitely still count as using our bodies. To no avail, and after several minutes of debate, we finally settled into this shape:

Yeah, it might've just been easier to get to this stage without all the fuss and bother, lol.
If you can't make it out entirely, it IS meant to be a U-W-A. Not very nicely made though.
Then there was a free lunch. Which, after the episode at breakfast, I decided not to partake in because really, the half-hour long wait wasn't worth it. Mind you, they were serving freshly barbequed hotdogs, so not as bad as expected.
After, I was about to head home, but was persuaded by unyielding friends to stay for UniMentor. Even though I didn't sign up. But I headed on down anyway. I'm glad I did actually, cuz my mentor's cool and actually really helpful. Not that I realised this before. :P Anyone heading to UWA, I actually recommend it. I didn't realise I had so many unanswered questions until I was forced to go to the session and have a talk. So yes. Go. regardless of whether you want to or not. Cuz you might find that you actually need it.
Anyway, that's Day One over. Next day, here I come. =)
