Konichiwa!Day 1:Report to school at 8.30am. Took the attendance and wait for the rest of the teammates to arrive. After that, went to Convention Centre to collect goodies bags. Took a tour around the school, and i must say, the school is SUPER huge. After that, go for some ice breakers and cheering sessions. Maybe because it was the first day and we had not familarize with each other, the group was not hyper enough. We had refreshments after that and T-shirts were given out. The T-shirts were too big for me, but they did not have smaller sizes. Went back to Convention Centre again for performances and some briefings on important notices. I really appreciated the air-conditioned environment after being in the hot sun for the whole morning. After that, we split up and went home at 1pm. I was glad to make new friends such as Jessica, Bryce, Sue Hui, Vivien, Ling Ling, Kenneth, Joan, Shuyi, Kai Ling, etc. Day 2:Chat with Albert early in the morning. Haha. Both of us woke up SUPER early. We started to discuss the bus route, money and time to NP. Report to school extremely early today. We had to reached school around 8am. We went to the Convention Centre first for performances and BA CCA introduction. We got to "meet" a few successful BA seniors and they shared their experiences with us. After that, we had some refreshments and we headed off with the games. We do cheering at every stations, and we were much louder then the day before. I was totally hyper up. Haha. Unfortunately for me, i sprained my leg at one of the last few game station. It was a balloon stepping game. I guessed i was too careless and my partner movements were too fast for me to catch up, i was practically dragged and somehow sprained my ankle. Luckily for me, i knew first aid and applied ice on the injured areas. I bandaged it before the teachers bought me to the clinic. It was tedious for me to walk but i tried hard. We went to the clinic, followed by an X-ray examination, and lastly back to the clinic again. Luckily, my bones were fine. I was given 14 days excuses from physical activities, but the teachers said that it was valid as an MC as well. They hoped that i would stay at home and have a good rest. After the check-ups, we went back to NP to collect my bag and belongings. I really need to thank Kai Ling who looked after me along the way and the other seniors as well. Shuyi and Kai Ling were so kind to me and danced for me at the Convention Centre while waiting for my mother to reach. I also knew along the way that both teachers who brought me to the clinic and looked after me were both incidentally my lecturers. Haha. After my mother reached Clementi MRT station, the teachers brought me to the MRT by car and my mom and i took the MRT back to Tampines together. As i was injured, the rest of the passengers were very kind and offered me a seat immediately. After we reached Tampines, we went to the Guardian first to buy more bandages as i had to bandage my ankle for two more days. After that, we took a cab home. The people at the taxi stand were kind as well, and allow us to take the cab first. I felt bad at first, but had to take up the offer eventually. At night, some seniors SMS me to check on my condition and to check if i am going for the finale the next day. I also received my new NP student card by post.

Day 3:
I was disappointed that i was unable to go for the last day of the orientation. I heard that there would be fantastic performance. However, i also knew that if i went there, i would only brought about more troubles for the seniors and the teachers as they would have to look after me. Hence, i decided not to go. One of the teachers called me to check on my condition. Vivien also SMS me. They all really cheered my up a lot. I was glad i chose this school afterall. =P In the afternoon, some student called me and told me that my medical fees could be claim from insurance. Thanks God! Geok Shan originally said that she wanted to come my house in the morning 9am as she needed some help from her project. However, she woke up late (again) and i waited for her almost the whole day. In the end, she SMS me and told me that she cannot come over. I had no idea why she could not come, but i guessed she went out with friends instead. However, i was rather angry with that. At night, i took a cab to lesson. There was a traffic jam so i was a little late. Xu Han was so surprised to see me injured. She said that it was PERFECTLY normal for me to get injured during camps. =.= I wouldn't blame her for saying that though, because it was true somehow. I once strain my leg during LTC too. The teacher only realised my injured leg during break, after i went to get a drink at second level. I was hopping all the way though. It was so funny, especially at the escalator part. Haha. Xu Han joked and said that i got injured for chasing after a guy. =.= I almost choked from the drink. After lesson, i went home again on cab. My mom also gave Xu Han a ride home. However, the traffic jam was so terrible that we spent more time (and money, of course) than expected. My mom and Xu Han gang up and kept pestering me to go see chinese sensei. I dislike them as they are so scary and i was afraid of the pain. We finally reached home at around 11pm.

Can you spot in the difference in the two legs?
It is not too obvious in the picture due to the lights and contrast.
However, if you look at the actual thing,
the sprained leg is actually swollen and whole patch of blue-black
