NICAI orientation, Formal nite

It's the National Institute of Creative Arts and Industries (NICAI) orientation today.
That means I have to go too.

It was ok, except for the loong (15 mins actually, but felt very long) introduciton to NICAI n it's goals... ==ll Aiya, dun need to tell intro that la, i mean like, we have already joined the programme ma, it sounds like she is promoting this programme to non auckland Uni students. Soooo sian, nearly fell asleep.

One of the activities is the amazing race competition. Didnt really felt like doin it cos my stomach's empty and growling. haha. But Tim seems (he's from IH too n doin the same programme) to be very eager bout it. I tagged along, it's an individual task la, but we team up; too bad for me, this time no 2nd year friends to help out..haha. SO both of us blur la a bit, good thing we teamed up, at least I felt more confident. He not as blur as me la..haha.

We are supposed to do tasks that requires you to run around the NICAI buildings- which I'm have absolutely no idea where is where. I know where the boxing , gym, n shopping places are la. haha. Plus the fact that the Buildings themselves are weird, i's not really easy to find ur way around. The structures are weird (well it IS an arts building)..@_@

Anyway, after asking a few people for directions n answers haha, we finally finished the tasks. We ran to the place to hand it in, and realize that u dun have to rush actually, cos as long as u pass it before 1.45pm it's ok. Dang, so we ran for nothing? haha. Good workout though.

Had barbecued tofu sausage n some salad for lunch, with a Jazz band playing background music. Then we had, some questions n answer sessions, where u win prizes. Didnt win anything, was close though. But nvm, that's not the whole point of this orientation anyway, at least I get to strenghten my ties with Tim. haha, I sound like a politician or smth. teruknya~~

Tim was nice enough to bring me to put in credits for my printing n photostating account. Cos I have no idea where it is. haha. And nice of him to ask whether I had anything else I wanted to check out or do. Wah, so helpful, i was thinking he'll head back after the orientation. He actually helped me in the music library too, asking whether i want to print the enrolment page out, cos I was doin it the traditional way, pen n paper. haha. ==lll That is when we realize I don't have $$ in my account.

We had, formal dinner today, I wore my blue cheongsam, with a black slacks, wore contacts n some light makeup. haha, I guess this is the first time my friends see me dressed so proper? Not in my usual 3 quarter pants n T shirt. haha. See~ I can look pretty too, if i wan to. =p

It's quite fun, drank some wine, and tried NZ's famous desert, pavlova - a large meringue filled with whipped cream. It's very sweet... wah, malaysian oso tak tahan. Good to eat when u have large sugar cravings, u will just need to have one or two tablespoonful of it.
