TPM orIentatIOn wEEk!

Posted by: teddymon on: June 2, 2009

I just finished with the orientation week for summer 2009! Slept at my friends house for several days!! I could tell you its very tiring, and with all the work I felt eating light like Maggi Goreng which by the way I ate almost every single night except for the last at my friend’s house because I have the McD urges!!! hahaha!!

To be honest I never actually joined such event in my life I mean watching behind the scenes how the organizer sorts things out both under control and uncontrolled situation!!

Day 1
Even though I joined the briefing before the orientation there nothing much to do on my side except just help out anyone that might need help, mostly heavy duty works.

Day 2
Still lots of work to be done and most of the work distribution schedule have been pasted at the OC’s board at Student Union as references. Even got some pepped talk by Mr.Aswadi ( no idea if the spelling correct ) and final briefing by Azree (Program Director) for this summer intake. Later that night I go to Asia Cafe just to watch the ManUtd vs Barca but unfortunately even under the rain ManUtd lost that night and there no Glory2 that night!! Very sad!!

Day 3
I sure have wearing formal clothing for any occasion since its very hot day and long sleeves does’t not help it at all!!!! But the job needs to be done WITH it so I just go with the flow….
I have no specific job during the register day except as ‘runner’ but end up as the security person guarding the staircase since this new college building kinda dangerous for the kids under 15 years of age. Some manage to slip by me since their parents really want to bring their kids with them so I just surrender but with some reminder for the parents on the dangers. If shit does happens don’t say forget I TOLD YOU SO!!! Other than that I have to ask standing runner so be ready to show the parents where to go first after they done with the first check point.

After that I was really tired standing at the stairs so I switched jobs to the photocopy dude!! I fall in love with photocopy machine alright I just love the sound when the machine start photocopy!! haahah!! I wondering TPMC feeling reach with lots of students entering this summer because all the photocopy done for free, some photocopy all the document on site even thought they requested that all the document must be ready before getting there!! I got free water thought for helping the staff there and got there chance to rest my legs since its hurt like hell!!!

The moment all the look like going to end I went up to level 2 just for a sneak peek how thing above doing, finance a little bit in chaos, same goes to hostel and administration but at least administration and hostel got good conditioning plus the room 2-3 is huge enough to fit lot of people!! I end working at the administration by finding the relevant documents for each students! Now since I joined them somewhere in the middle of the day all the files are in a mess especially B.Sc in Mech. The stake for April alone was high to my knees!!
Its 5 to 10 minutes just to find 1 particular file and there not enough people helping!! Finally I fed up and ask others to help the administration staff while I sort out the April documents according to date follow by May documents after that I moved on and do the same to diploma’s documents, now its much easier to file all the files!

After all the work I ate 2 slice of pizzas and KFC!! All the work done by 8 pm if I not mistaken! Went to the Mines hoping to resize the Orientation t-shirt but the shop already closed even its only 9.30 PM!!!!!!!
Slept like a baby after that to tired!!

Day 4
Supposed to wake up but overslept a bit but still manage to get there by 9am!! Hehehehe!
All the event that day held only at Auditorium at Enterprise 4 for the all day. I really hate TPM parking area since if you park at the wrong place you might get clamped and get charged for RM50 to release it, I don’t want to make TPM richer haha. Took the bus with the to E4 and when for Friday prayer’s with Malik since I hate Sri Petaling mosque too pack with people so when to Jalil Damai while wearing TPM College t-shirt!!
haahahaah!! After the Friday prayer all students divided to few groups and walk all around the previous college labs and location that still been use by the college, from E2, I-shoppe, E3 (labs for ME students) and to Technoflex (gym, food court, and sports area). After that get back to college and had another briefing for the next day!! At night I went back to my friend’s house and while waiting to fall asleep I have the change to see Sean and the geng practicing the chicken dance, tarian poco2 and other for the exercise event early in the morning!! Got some futsal match between students but unable to complete all the matches because the time delay during the Friday’s prayer, my team lost!!!! Later that night had some fun with the juniors with ‘jungle tracking’, basically just blind fold the eyes of students at night and guide them in the cover of darkest. It was fun at the same time very tiring to watch all the students steps to make sure they don’t hurt themselves. Some students lost there items like specks and HP I think but recovered most of it except 1 speck. I found one of those lost items!!!hahaha!!
Some cried, some got bitten by red ants and some to scare to move!! Its was fun, so its true the saying that ‘we laugh at the expense of others’.

Day 5
As usual I overslept again!!!! I managed to creep to college undetected, sort of… hahaha!!
All the OCs and Faci’s have to join the exercise but honestly I don’t do most of the move, just too funny!! But I did learn the pojo or is it poco dance!! hahaah! The large group of students also divided up to several smaller groups up to 20 groups and later on I was assigned to group 6 or later change to group 10!!
hahaahah!! By the evening a futsal match held between themselves however unable to finish according to plan!! After some briefing by Azree at night later that night when back I have so good night sleep!!

Day 6
Ok of the days in the Orientation week this day was the only day that I overslept to the point that I am very lazy to wake up!!!! Azree had to revise the plan by combining 2 modules together and most the teams done well and one the modules requires the groups to do some type of performance at night!! Just as you thought all things might go well the rain began to fall!! Damn the stage already set up and the OC/Faci performance already practiced for several hours and its raining!!! What a blunder!! The show for the performance are delayed for a while and the moment the rains stops all the shows were on!! Its was funny and some even got some hidden message with it!! Only half of the orientation shows done the rest done at E4 tomorrow!

Last day
Just wake up and see the them at E4 lucky for me the shuttle service was available so I took it and watch the event there and we did manage to celebrate Mr.Muhizam’s birthday and finished all the freshies performances!! After that all that ends all hell break loose and the seniors released their true colours!!!! hahaahaa By night I ready go back my home that missed so much!!

Thanks Sean, Malik, Nadmi, Nget, Acap, Wan, Adi, Aizzul, Aiman for letting me staying your home during orientation!!!

Between Day 4,5 and 6 there mix up in the events I suddenly not sure the flow of the events!! I fix it later on but nevertheless all the important events are UP! I edit all after I find my program schedules!
