CLS Orientation Night 26.07.09
The Chinese Language Society of our campus organized an orientation night yesterday. Tickets were priced at RM3 for non-members and RM2 for members.
The event was scheduled to start at 7.38p.m. You know why? Translated into Chinese, it’s pronounced as “qu sam pat” XD No la…just kidding. Actually, it’s like this. The theme is 38˚C. Our normal body temperature is 37˚C. So, the program is meant to make you high and raise your temperature to 38˚C. I think it really did.
At first, when we arrived, we were sorted into groups. I was in the black circle group. We sat in a circle and played the game where we had to introduce ourselves and remember the names of the people before you. Luckily I only had to remember a few. And I found someone with my Mom’s name. Haha.
Next, we played 我爱我的邻居 where if they ask you, “你喜欢你的邻居吗?” and you say, “不喜欢”. Then they will ask you, “你喜欢谁的邻居?” and you can pick anyone you like. Then their neighbors will have to exchange places with your neighbors. The person who asked you also have to fight for a place to sit and the last person standing will get punished. It’s something like musical chairs.
Then, every two groups were combined and we played ‘bomb’. You know the game where we chant like, “黑色bomb,黑色bomb,黑色bomb给白色bomb.” Kind of confusing a bit cause some of the colours sound quite alike.
After that, there was the game where a few of the committees would hold up a card bearing the words like 高, 矮, 费, 瘦, 大, 小. You choose which card group you want to go to. The MC will face the wall so that he doesn’t know where there were more people. He will then say a sentence and if the word he said belongs to the group you are in, the whole group is punished. For example, he could say, “One day, I was walking in Jusco and I saw an African-American who is very…tall.” So all the people in the ‘tall’ group will be punished. I think for the games, the interesting part were the punishments.
After the games, there was a drama presentation by CLS members. That story was about love and friendship; those where there were two best friends, then one day, one friend has a boyfriend but after some time, the boyfriend loves the best friend pula. Then fight, then apologize, then two were best friends again, that kind of story. It’s a musical so in the end, there was dancing.
When they finished dancing, it was our turn XD First, we were taught the choreography for恋爱-ing. That dance was exhausting. Probably because people were screaming, “Encore! Encore!” but oh well. They did that for all the songs anyway.
Next, we were all asked to form a big circle with boys in the inside ring and girls on the outside. We were asked to face our partners. They said to get to know each other first but we were going to change partners anyway, so what’s the point? Duh… We danced to the song简单爱. For the intro, we would keep changing partners. A tip from my friend was, if you want to meet up with your desired partner, stand about 10 people apart. I’m not sure though. But don’t ask me. I didn’t try it XD Since they had an encore, then I guess you’d have to be 20 people apart.
After that song, they asked us to stick with our partners. We were going to dance to恋爱达人. We could stand anywhere we like. My partner, he was shorter than me. Ahahaha… ok, I cheated. I wore heels. Hehe. We learn the steps for all the dances through example. They’d demonstrate once or twice and then we have to dance already. Quite easy but anyhow, if you don’t get it, just look at the people around you and you’d be able to pick up the steps.
After the encore, they repeated 恋爱-ing for the last time and the end^^ We took a lot of pictures after that. These people love the camera. Whenever they see people posing, they’d just join in. at first, it was just 4 of us roommates and classmates taking the picture. But then, the whole swarm came in and it became a group photo. All in all, it was fun. Great job, you guys = )
