Whoa!!! I got scratched!!

Today's orientation was cool!!! I love the games!!! Make everyone all wet. Luckily I brought clothes. So many things to do there. I can give you a whole list of it:
  1. We had to run a grab the bottle that is placed on the floor. Our opponents will also try to reach the bottle first as well. Then whoever gets the bottle had to run back to his/her team and will be awarded a point. But this is not the case if the opposing team touches you while you're running with the bottle in your arm. I got scratched badly when I fell.
  2. The girls and boys are separated into 2 teams (girls and boys). Both teams have all their members make a circle and face one side. Then everyone have to sit on each other's laps. Our legs sored like hell. However, the girls won 3 times, and the boys just dishonoured the "Man's code of Man-liness"
  3. Then, we have a sort of "station-to-station games". Firstly, everyone is broken up to teams according to colours, then they are sent to different places in the school to get tortured. First game my team got to do was a sort of a "Commando Cross". Everyone got to crawl to the end and retrieve an M&M from the plate with their mouth, then got to cross over some strings with a very awkward shoe, which will cause you pain. Simple enough?? Oh, I haven't even told you bout the details. You will be splattered with flour and splashed with water while crawling. And the plate, it is filled with flour and you'll got to look for the M&Ms. So that's one part.
  4. Next station, we got to pass water balloons without breaking them. It's very hard for me to explain how to do it by typing, but it's kind of tough, i guess. We lost, so we got splashed by water again and some got pummeled by water balloons.
  5. After that station, we moved to somewhere near the Q.M room at the Canteen. In this station, i think 2 from our team volunteered to go suck some worms up the straw. I'm not sure how the game works, so moving on...
  6. We went to the gazebo. Now, we have to stick our head into a polystyrene box filled with ice-cold water, whilst being blind-folded. If you could retrieve any ping-pong balls from the water after 20 seconds, you get drenched with cold water. And yes, it's very cold. You can actually see a cloud of condensation.
  7. The next station, we had to pass egg yolks to the person behind, without looking at him/her but only moving your arms. Very fun, but disgusting.
  8. We get to throw and catch water balloons, but out team leader wasted our chances by dropping 2 balloons, and the last balloon to drop caused everyone to get punished by doing push ups.
  9. Next, we went into war with some seniors. 5 from our team had to throw water balloons to those seniors. They'll also counter-attack using eggs,since they ran out of water balloons. Whoever gets hit is out.
  10. Last station. We got to use 2 straws and place 1 worm into 1 plate. Everyone got to do for this. I'm not sure why, but in the end, someone got to drink a nasty concoction of green tea and apple juice, i think. But it was a nasty shade of grey.
Yeah, so these were the games that I played today. Enjoyed them. But, I hate the cold water drenching part. Very cold, especially when it's raining.
