Our first activity of 2009! The turnout was not very big because of Star Symposium and OCIP Maldives briefing, but still a big thanks to all juniors and seniors who turned up and made the whole trip a fun and worthwhile one!

Despite the big group, we still managed to finish the trek in time, partly because today the conditions were much dryer. Still, many weren't able to escape the clutches of mud. If you did not get your shoes dirty, you didn't go for the Choo Choo Trek! Dirt is part of the fun equation in OAC, so better get used to it!

"Brown is the new grey" my quote. LOL.

Next week we are going to have field cooking! I wonder what's on the menu..

Hey it's been a long time since a real real update on what's going in OAC these few weeks... so let's recap!

National Vertical Marathon (7th* - 8th Feb)

On 7th Feb, kah, shuwei, sue-ann and yuan went for a stayover at NTU as volunteers for NVM which was happening on the next day. Even though only 4 of us went, we had quite a lot of fun, laughing at every little thing and playing Slipperminton™® amongst ourselves and completely oblivious to others no matter how unglam we were! It was really zi4 high to the max! But we had to wake up at 4:30 and got to Republic Plaza at 5:30 before the event registration started at 6:30 and we had to do station games volunteering by manning the booths. Really damn sian as we had to just stand there and watch people play. It was only until our OACians came where I felt a bit more uplifted. Also saw a lot fellow Adjammers there participating :D

Anyway our OACians did quite well considering their 1st NVM, so i'm really proud of them for completing 60 storeys! We should like go Taipei 101 some day :D LOL

Orientation Camp (13th-14th Feb)

Orientation Camp was quite a success. Even though we didn't reach our target of 40 participants, the juniors that came in were really quite enthusiastic and have very high potential. The way they participated in our Games and their performance during the Race was quite evident of that. Hopefully most of them will choose to stay in OAC!

OC Comm also did a very good job in keeping the camp running smooth!

Quote of the day, "Nice working with you! You did a very good job :D"

-kah-

Woo! Orientation Camp is coming!

I'm sure you seniors and to-be juniors will be very excited! Because it will be 2 days of mega-fun!
To ensure you get the most out of it, please pack all your stuff that you need to tonight!

Seniors, please meet earlier than the stipulated start time of the camp i.e 4pm. Fake juniors can come early as well, but please don't go into the store like 5 mins before because you are supposed to join the crowd.

Just hope that tomorrow there is a miracle and 10 more people turn up and hand in their forms :\
and the Camp will be smooth and successful!

OAC SONG!

OAC, OAC
Walk the land and swim the sea
OAC, OAC
Come along and sing with me
We’ll climb the mountain
Reach the peak
And build a fire there
We’ll sing and dance and cheer like mad
To keep the passion burning
Keep on burning
Burning, burning, burning…

OAC, OAC
We are one big family
OAC, OAC
We’re the best you’ve ever seen
The kayakers, the rockclimbers, the basha builders, we’re the great champions Long live OAC!
