Complexity of simplicity: Highlights at the weekends

Bright. Red. Beautiful.

Like I promised. Here I am.

I'll start at the very beginning. If I can remember all of the thing that is. Anyway last week was the orientation programme for freshmen. NP is the only poly that made its first week as an orientation week instead of starting class right away. Not sure if its a good thing but meh I had fun.

Day 1.

Ice breaking. Involving macarena chicken dance and stuff. Played rock-scissors-paper evolution edition. Which is incredibly stupid and exciting. Some talks. Get to know course mates. Get to know lecturers. More talks.

Day 2.

Played games with BME (Biomedical Engineering) and the whole ECE (Electrical and Computer Engineering) division. There's this balloon game and, long story short, I got to perform card magic on stage. In front of the whole 600 700 crowd! Clutch by Oz Pearlman. Pretty damn amazing experience. Later people come up to me like 'Hey you're that magician right!' Then we had to do a sketch and design our own mascot. The other groups were rather risky. Let's just say that it's all boobs and balls.

Day 3.

Fusionopolis! Some place in Singapore that I've never been to and probably should have. It's a state-of-the-art technology research exhibition center. I kid you not the whole place looked like it came out from Tron, Terminator, and Star Wars. There was this translator like when you speak into it the thing translates it into perfect Chinese and Malay. And the kitchen whereby the touch screen shows you what ingredients are in which drawer and the expiry dates etc. And display recipes and if lack of any you could sms via the machine your friends or family to get it. Girls' love that. I would. And got this hospital bed that detects heartbeat rate and pressure sensors and stuff to see if the patient's dead or something. Then the best had to be the brainwave technology. My friend put on the headgear and when he concentrated, the character in the game starts to move and speed up accordingly to his concentration level. MAD AWESOME.

Day 4!!!

GLAM NIGHT.

Glam night was held at the same time as movie night. Movie night's cool although I didn't join. Some 200 300 people lied on a big piece of plastic in the middle of the big grass field and enjoyed a movie played on the wide screen.. screen. I went of glam night. Basically a party. A real party. A prom. It's like a Linkin Park concert except with a DJ. Scratching pop hits and sick beats. My friends and I went together and she dragged me right in front of the speakers. My heart was literally going BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM. Freaking high and everyone's fist pumping the air. Then there's a circle in middle of the crowd with dancers doing their solos. It's all too high man. Everyone's partying like there's no tomorrow.

I'll let the pictures talk.
