GEAR UP Training

Okay, so Thursday and Friday were happy days for me. I didn't have to go to school and I got to eat at a buffet for free. Chheeyyyaaaaa!!! XD I went to Occidental College for GEAR UP mentor training and it was pretty cool. I thought it'd be boring and dry just like last year's, but it turned out to be pretty darn awesome! =D

There was a lot of lecturing and games. The lectures were pretty repetitive, but I enjoyed the games. What everyone (I am sure everyone) enjoyed and looked forward to the most was lunch. That was some good food and it was a buffet too! MUAHAHA. I chowed down on everything. (Kinda)


Day1 - I had some pasta, salad, ice-cream, fruits, soda (funny story about the soda...),cookies!!! and etc... i don't remember what else I had. It was a lot of food.


Right, and I said there was a funny/ weird story about the soda. Well, you seeeeee I'm not really a coke person and I always prefer Sprite. So I went to the soda machine and I got Sprite. Waverly's all happy with her Sprite and takes a sip. *SPITS EVERYTHING OUT!!!!!* Nah... just kidding. I didn't do that, but I spat the "soda" back into the cup. Turns out, it wasn't Sprite. It was just some carbonated water that tasted bitter and salty. O.o" Weird right? So I got coke. hehe =D


Day 2 - I ate this vegetarian lasanga. It was gooooooooooooooooood! More salad, some cupcakes, some fruits, this "push-pop" ice-cream, bread... mmmm... yeah.. LOL I liked the lasanga a lot. I went back for seconds and all. LOL. It was so awesome. I have to try making vegetarian lasanga one day.


I would've eaten more, but we only had 30minutes of lunch. The reason was because there were other groups that needed to eat as well. So we had to chow down real fast and get out. =(

One of the games I enjoyed the most was called the Birthday Line-Up. Basically, everyone has a birthday. Duh right? So there's about 40 people and we have to line up in order according to our birthdays. YAY! But here's the twist, you can't use your mouth. =O Gasp! My birthday was November 11 and I had one finger pointing in each hand. I started showing people my finger, trying to tell them my birthday was 11/11 but it didn't work. So I started "flicking" my finger and people finally got it. LOL

At the end of the game, I ended up where I should be. XD YAY! There was this guy on my left who's birthday was Nov 15 and this other girl on my right whose birthday was on Nov 2. =D

Then the guy who was standing next to me did the most random thing. He put his arm on my shoulder and was like, "Hey there stranger, wanna be my best friend?" LOL I was like "O.o" what?" LOL It was pretty funny. We started talking and he turns out to be pretty awesome. =D

Yup.

Ummm... Oh yeah! Friday night. I went to FongYi's house! =D There were a few new people - Sammy, Steven, YingYing, Patrick... yup... I had a great time. I really missed everyone. When I came back I felt so welcomed and loved. Lol =)

There were old people there too. haha. "Old" There was Jerry, Hannah, Jeramy, Ah Heng/Ah Ba, AiLian, Jessica, Ah Joe, Crystal... yaehh... lots of people.

Okay, teacher wants us to turn off monitor... TTFN, Tata for Now. XD
