*applause* thank you thank you :P

Just for the fun of it. Despite the fact that the syllable doesnt fit in well and the orientation lasted for 6 days. Hehe.
Btw, PC stands for Pemudah Cara. Means it gives you the seniority and power to make others miserable.

Anyway, it all started on Sunday. Not really a problem searching for the kolej and uni, cause parents insisted of havin a preview of the place few days ago. The usual as other public unis...being real huge and heck of a distant from one place to another. Based on experience, its bigger than UM but smaller than UPM.

Kolej = Hostels in uni. There's like 12 of it.

Kolej Rahim Kajai. Thats mine. One of the smallest kolej and nearest to the sport fields and courts and also to the side gate.
Population of the first year intake in the our kolej, 294 ppl. You think thats alot of ppl? Soon u will find out why i said its one of the smallest kolej.

Nvm that first, so started off with those registration thingy...forms,forms,forms and gettin our room.blablabla.

Room 314, block 16A.
...Interesting...

As I reached, i couldnt get the door opened. They key went in well, but obviously the knob aint budging. So made my way back to the foyer(the main building of the kolej with cafeteria, office etc etc). Got a maintenance guy to lead me back to the room and tryin to fix the prob.

With some of his tools, he managed to open it. Then there's a Malays guy sleeping there. The maintenance dude was saying "Hmm...roommate kau sepatutnya orang Cina"
"Balik ke foyer dan check sekali lagi"

=.="

As i made my way back there AGAIN, they checked it again.
"Oh...sorry ye, 16B bukan 16A"

Darned it! Why i keep gettin this kinda situation!
Finally got into the right room and met my roommate with his family there as well. A nice pleasant guy from Malacca.

So heard a PA announcement that must gather at 5pm. Went and gather at the tent in front of the foyer. Before anything has started, a guy started shouting at us....telling us to go back and change to our formal wear. Officially everyone hated tht guy...the very first grudge was upon him.

Definition of formal wear for the orientation week.
For guys: Ever seen a jusco worker? Yeap,exactly like tht. Long sleeve shirt with tie and black slacks.
For girls: Blue baju kurung

And thats the blardy dresscode for any occasion for the entire week!!!

Btw, the orientation week is called MMM (minggu mesra mahasiswa). Very corny

Anyway, the first agenda will be the kolej's welcome speeches and introduction.
Every kolej has a pengetua whose in charge of the kolej. Our's is a nice and humorous guy, cracked damn lot of jokes during his speeches.

Then the introduction of the PCs who are also the JAKSA ppl. Jawatankuasa somethin somethin, means they are the committee of the kolej organisation. The biggest shots in the kolej i suppose. From that time we came to acknowledge that the bugger who shouted at us was the ketua disiplin for the MMM.

Dinner time at the cafeteria:
What I see is just a bunch of chairs assembled in rows and tables were stacked aside. Hmm? Yeah, the logic behind it is that there's aint enough space for us if all of us were to eat at the same time using the tables. So...whatelse? Have the food tray on ur lap and eat it!
Not too bad for the food i guess. Nothin is worse than NS food =P

After dinner, came the 'interesting' part. They already started to teach us to sing the kolej's songs and loads of cheers. The reason behind it? Not told bout it. So for the next 3 hours, we were practically memorising the songs and cheers while being scolded and humilated by the PC.
And i refuse to post the lyrics and wordings here....coz its stupid and even stupider when u can hear the actual sounding of it. hehe

To be honest, the whole week is nothin but singing, loads of speeches, scolding from PC and waking up early.
Imagine that for the non-muslims, we still have to wake up at 5am and gather. Didnt do a single thing besides sitting down and PC asking random questions.

Anyway i'll just jump to the significant and interesting parts.

Lets see...there's this Hari Sukan MMM. Where there's senamrobik bersama timbalan dekan. I have to say the timbalan is a modern looking lady with short hair and wearing her shades. I was expecting her to be some old fashioned aunty. haha. So yeah, she and alot of other big shots were doin the aerobic session with the rest of the 4000+ freshies. Then its the sports events after that. U know, the competition among colleges.
Our kolej got trashed completely in all the sports. lol.
The event was dominated by the 2 biggest kolej in UKM; the kolej Keris Mas and kolej Pendeta Za'ba.
The freshies' population alone is around 700-800 for each of tht kolej.
Thats practically more than double of what we have =P so cant argue with the numbers there.

Oh yeah, the morning after the sports day, we got woke up at 4am. They were like banging on the door and asked us to immediately line up. So everyone lined up in their pyjamas and sleeping wear. It was friggin cold k! Coz i was wearing shorts and tshirt only. The PC started scolding at us again and made us sing and cheer over and over again.

Friday nite, the climax of the MMM. Its the Malam Kebudayaan. Its the grand nite where the students who didnt take part in the sports will be takin part in the Malam Kebudayaan. They've been practicin since the first day. So its lucky for them to skip most of the ragging session and just practice for their performance.

Its really impressive, as everything were perfect....varies from drama, dikir barat, zikir, tarian moden etc etc.

Alrite, here comes the most important and interesting part of the entire MMM.
Its the Perang DECTAR.
Dectar is the main function hall in UKM, the Dewan Cansellor Tunku Abdul Rahman.
So this is how the war works. After the malam kebudayaan every year. Each kolej will compete to stay in the hall the longest. The last kolej who leaves the hall is consider the winner. While being in there, all the kolejs will start their cheer and song to provoke others.

We were told bout the perang dectar a day before that nite. So thats the real reason behind all the songs and cheers we've been practicin. As our kolej never lost the perang dectar since 23 years ago. So as said, it will be the shame of our batch if we were to lose the war this year. lol.
In order to win it, we need to make sure the security guards doesnt pull us out from our chair and also to cheer out the loudest among all.

So this is what happened. After the event ended and they gave instructions for all the students to move out from the hall. We kept quite and observe other kolejs, to see which kolej is takin part in the war. So finally left 3.
Ours, Kris mas and burhanudin.

the intensity started here. after 20 mins of restraining orders from the security guards and higher officers...they all got pissed.

"Saya berharap provokasi tidak akan berlaku pada tahun ini. Kamu diarahkan untuk tidak mendengar arahan PC kamu"

Haha, funny order from the officer in charge. We stay still.
They were really shouting rite at our face. Last warning from them, still no respond.
So they just shut off the lights and lock the hall's doors.

It was dark and Kris Mas' students started shouting and making noise.
The war starts here. So for all the practice we had over the past 5 days, we let it all out.

We shouted our heart and lungs out...first off with our kolej song. Didnt realise that we could be so loud until the ceiling above us were vibrating (our seatings were at the upper level of the hall, and the hall were as big as a football field). Despite the small population we had, the 700 kris mas freshies couldnt shout half as loud as what we did. But come to think of it, if they are willing to shout as loud as we did, they could tear the whole hall down =P

They tried very hard , but we shut them up with any of the 8 cheers we had. Coz the loudness blanket them. So eventually they left the hall. Victory for the 24th year. Woohoo

If u ask me, its of the most silly thing i've ever encounter in my life. But the heck with it. Since we were forced to do it, might as well have a lil fun =)

Shit, actually had alot in mind what i wanna blog bout. but its been too long. Now i'm bothered with more stuffs in uni. So sorry if this seemed to be a rush, coz it is!
