DISJOINTED ENTRY ON ORIENTATION

The committee for the upcoming M1/05 orientation has formed, and the OOs and SMs will soon be chosen... And oh how I'm filled with excitement and dread for the next orientation to arrive... Hearing how Reuben and Maria (the president and vice president) commented on how tame the last orientation was, and how Gagan promised to "give the juniors wat he get from the seniors during our orientation (damn u, Indra n gang!), WITH interest", I can't help but suspecting that the next orientation is gonna be really bad... Heck, Reuben even stated that the most important requirement for a committee member is not to be a pushover, i.e. he/she must not be friendly towards the juniors during orientation! There goes my hope of becoming the first aider committee...

I have a hypothesis. There are ppl who disregard the rules or rebel against it when the majority upheld the rule. The majority are firm on upholding the rules, and segregate or punish those who disregard it. The minority resented this restriction, and do all sorts of acts to show their contempt and frustration by sabotaging all kinds of stuff the majority upholds. But given an oscasion, juz for a short period of time, when these rules can be ignored legally without punishment watsoever, wat will happen to this rebellious minority? They would take full control of the situation... and guess what? They will do exactly as wat the majority did. Established their own rule, and silence or disregard all those who disobey their rule...

I've seen all these signs of twisted self-righteousness during the past orientations. There's nothing honourable about ragging the juniors, and therefore I can't help but resent the raggers (and pity the juniors) when they go on bragging about how much they've done and sacrificed for the orientation juz to make sure the juniors have a great time, and how unthankful the juniors are for not obeying their whims and stuff. Bullshit!

And now, an old forgotten rule will be imposed on the OOs: If any OOs adviced the juniors against attending any of the orientation activities, or at least avoid the nastier parts, they are to be dismissed as OOs at once, and are forbidden to take part in future orientations. Man... If there's any juniors who approached me and ask if they should come for the orientation, I really dunno wat I should tell them. To come would have mean that they'll get to know many friends, juniors and seniors, in that short period of time... but they'll have to go thru a really traumitizing time, when they're expected not to be "good sports", but also to perform all sorts of vulgar acts and stuff...

Gosh... I juz realized how disjointed my entry is... Oh who cares, that basically covers wat I think of the orientation. I still really wanna be a first aider though... maybe I'll juz join the first aid sub-committee then.

Someone suggested the orientation theme this time around to be "Love Is In The Air"... I find it hilarious! :>
