The first day of orientation was on a Monday. That morning, we were assembled in the hall according to the units, and options and it started with a welcoming speech by the Principal. Then the other lecturers introduced themsleves and the courses and the requirements. There were talks on the exams, the assignments and the same boring stuff.
We had a lunch break after the earfull of talks.
Before we left, we were told to be back in the hall in the after at 2.00 p.m. with the orientation t-shirt, the horrible orange, round neck t-shirt.
In the afternoon, many of the male freshees changed into the orange t shirt in the toilet before entering the hall. The lecturer gave a few words of advice and handed the microphone to the student leader, a senior.
Immedaitely, the scene change from a jovial to a serious one once the lecturer left the hall.
We were sternly warned to comply with all the tasks and assignments that were to be completed in the two weeks to come. Oh, my!
We were given a long list of names of the seniors and we had to see all of them and to get their signatures. By the end of the two weeks, those found with the least signatures would be punished. We were told to see them everyday and do whatever they told us.
Some of the seniors were rather nasty and quite abusive in their language.
There was this group of lady seniors. We were told to address them by "My most honourable, beatiful ladies." We had to bow to them like in all the English films. Then we would be told to do some silly actions before they gave their signatures. We had to see them everyday.
Some of the silly actions include:
1. Hugging the lamp poles and kissing them
2. Running around the campus and shouting "MERDEKA"
3. Doing the "Tabik spring" saluting with one hand and shaking one leg like a spring
4. Miming the actions of blowing the trumpet, saxophone or playing the drum
5. Getting a flower for the lady seniors
6. Passing silly remarks to another senior and be scolded
7. Getting chairs for the seniors esp. the ladies
8. Answering silly questions
9. Other forgotten ones
At the end of the day, we were all exhausted and filled with anger.
This almost lasted the two weeks but...
