I'll try to update this post day by day for the whole orientation week.
The whole week is for orientation,and it's more like those camps we used to go.
DAY1
Before everything starts,we were given an orientation kit which looks like this...
Then it started with some welcome speech and some light briefing.After that is a meet and greet session,which we were served with some food and drinks-ignoring the greeting part and just ate.haha
It continued with a talk about the security around the campus followed by a F.U.N. Session which we were divided into a few groups for ice breaking.
We named our group as Vela and discussed about our group cheer.In my group there were about 30 of them,some from West Malaysia like me,others include Brunei,Singapore,Indonesia,Pakistan,Zimbabwe,and some are Mirians.All of us are studying foundation,half commerce and business half engineering.
After we did our group cheer we played some games.
Before we went out for the campus tour,the OLs(orientation leaders) suddenly start dancing at the back of the hall,and also leaded us to 'dance' together...awkward =w=
In the afternoon after lunch,we had some briefing about the registration,which ended up me waiting for a looooong time at the administration office since everyone needs to settle things.Spent more than an hour there for my student ID card and student pass.(its not that they are not efficient its just because of the crowd)
Something I would like to mention is that when I arrived at Sarawak here,I am still considered an international visitors.For Malaysian,we just need our IC or DPT if we are staying less than 90 days.The student pass is for longer staying time which can last up to a year.
DAY2
The day started with talks from the student council and the counselor,following by a detective game,which we ran around the campus just like those station games.
Before lunch,we went to the event hall with booths around which gives info about the university life.It turns out me having a recycle bag and things like this...
Which I threw most of them after taking this photo haha.Those pamphlets.
For lunch,we wanted to eat at a cafe near the library but the queue is so long!Ended up at the cafeteria haha.Next time!

In the afternoon we moved to the field for CURTIN OLYMPICS.Did the Curtin clap,our group cheers and also the wave like those football match before we started playing.
Although we have about 20++ members in our group,only nine of us came.We played 4/5 games which most of it needed 9/10 persons,so with the lack of group members,only for our group,everyone goes down the field for every game.Tired!
We also played with water balloons so we got all wet even my shoes and socks! .....which turns out my clothes got dry after a few minutes with the scorching sun and the breeze.LOL

| The tug of war. |
After all of this,the only thing in my mind,BED!
DAY3
Its day three and I'm already lazy to update,so TIRED!!!
After two days of knowing each other and knowing the environment,this day starts to introduce our course structures and learning.
We were divided into two groups according to the faculty,and we got some briefing from the lecturers and unit coordinators.It was informative but after two days of tiredness piling up,can't avoid to feel sleepy,but managed to stay awake and alert teehee.
During break,lunch was provided so we just ate at the event hall.After that,we group5 from the same faculty discussed a bit about the performance for onight,just a few of us but it's fun.
It followed by introducing to MOODLE and also ways to check our timetable.The day ended with us playing a London bridge game where we use newspapers and tape to build bridges.The group that won,their bridge can actually allows 16bricks+a person sitting on it! We were shuffled for this game so we got to know more friend around!
Went home tired with my legs aching.Oh so tired!
Checked my student account and the unit outlines,whoa that'll be so much things to do after study week starts!
And I'm already tired before that =___="
DAY4
The last day!
Just half day for today with a few of interesting talks from the lecturers. We ended with a survey in one of the class.
After lunch we Velas gathered to practice for the orientation night performance which is tomorrow night. Not much members showed up for our group,ours like ONLY FIVE,and other groups were like TWENTY SOMETHING...sigh
Did my lab access card and for printing too at the school bookshop,it'll take a few days to process.But the point is they actually sell school tshirts and sweaters,I was like OMG I need one!

| the baseball kind <3 |
So after a few days,everyone got closer. Maybe because of the Curtin Olympics too,we were actually cheering like gila one haha

| Diyana,Sugar(our OL),DD |
Diyana actually asked me on the first day, "Are you usually this shy?"
So now do you still think so? haha
Spent some time to go through my coming classes and it seems like there will be so much to do,it will be tiring just hope I can enjoy through!
