What's going on, Wei Kee?
The day before yesterday, Wei Kee went to shopping and he bought a good deal of (useful) stuff - jam, butter, plates, bowl, plastic containers, hangers, bedsheet, etc cetera. It costed him about 100 dollars including the taxes and plastic bags. The plastic bags cost 4 cents each, while the texts are simply exorbitant, totalling in 13%! That's like what the heck! He's paying 13 dollars for every 100 he spends!
Then yesterday he went to get some stuff: staples, stapler, paper, bread, milk. So it's almost complete now. He still needs peanut butter though! Today he's got the orientation for the first years - Imagine UBC (thus the title of this post). It's pretty ok. His leader, Prince Nimoh (Nemo!!) was pretty good, a funny guy. Basically, they played some lame ice-breaker, learned the engineer's chant:
"We are, we are, we are the engineers,
We can, we can, demolish 40 beers,
Drink rum, drink rum,
Drink rum, drink rum,
Drink rum and follow us,
For we don't give a damn for any old man who doesn't give a damn for us,
Yeah!"
Then some talks, free pizzas (Yeah! He ate four slices of that!) and there's a competition: they got to build a catapult to project an egg across a distance, which Wei Kee's group sort of did a so-so job, because the idiotic Wei Kee just sat there like an.. idiot and didn't contribute any ideas (duh!). Another thing worth mentioning is the pep rally. A few thousands of first-years had to squeeze into the War Memorial Gym to listen to some old farts talking. Nah, Wei Kee's joking, but about the second parts only. The event was pretty cool; it's like watching a game and you got everybody cheering, chanting, and booing. Then when the important people (the campus president, the chancellors, you get what I mean) came in, they played the Star Wars Darth Vader song and that's cool. I mean you don't get this in Malaysia right? It's boring and uninspirational there. Then when all the professors and important people speak, they are pretty funny and you don't ask questions like "when's this old fart gonna end?". And people cheer and have fun, so there you go: it's pretty fun.
Next item was the Main Carnival Event where there were a lot of booths set up. Wei Kee got his laundry bag from a Christian booth (neat!) and he stuffed everything he picked up into the bag. There were gay booths, gentlemen booth (they're so vain!), reiki club (Japanese healing arts, Wei Kee actually came across this term once when he played Sacred as a battle mage; and this Malaysian girl that Wei Kee saw got this reiki treatment said she felt nothing! Ooops!), kung fu club (aah, now you're talking). There were this library booth where they let you see for 10 seconds a card showing what materials you can find in different libraries then you have to match the libraries with their materials. Sneaky Wei Kee sneaked nearby and watched others played it and thought it was easy to break their 16-second or 23-second record and he attempted it with an retarded timing of 30 plus seconds (Congrats, smart-ass). Wei Kee collected lots of freebies and by the time he finished the tour his laundry bag looked like Santa's goodie bag. However, looking for a club that suited his interest didn't went well: he could find neither computer games club nor badminton club, too bad.
Next was a meeting for Frosh retreat, some kind of "fun" activity for engineers. After that, Wei Kee watched a weird comedy performance performed by UBC Improv. It's sort of like "Who's line is it anyway?": Impromptu comedies with twists. Interested in knowing more? Please visit UBC campus. Bad thing was, Wei Kee, ignorant as he is, didn't understand almost all of the jokes. He was clapping his hands with the others and wondering all the time what they were laughing about. That guy's gotta improve his practically non-existent listening skills (and something to do with the Canadian culture stuff).
Crash! Signing off (Wei Kee's hasn't had his dinner yet, growl~)
