OC Binding Camp
The last 2 week is really special 2 me. For the first time I join the orientation committee. On the 1st day of the binding camp I was in group 6. I was vote to be the team leader for the group. To be honest I lacked of confidence to be the leader but lucky for me the group always gives me moral support. My group name eagle but call iggo in
The binding camp really development myself as a person. When I send my resume to become an OC, I just want to make friend and develop my leadership skill. When I came to cyberjaya campus, I miss mmu Melaka so much coz I leaving my close n bestfriend there. During my 1st sem I did not have lot of close friend other then my roommate. After the binding camp I realize what I want for this orientation week……..I want the freshies to have friend in cyberjaya, I want the freshies to have a life here. It really hard when u have to go study to place far away from family and friend, it harder when u are alone in a new environment. I found my passion, my passion to make the freshies to have a life here, to have a friend, to have fun n sad moment together n to make this orientation week a success. I get more then what I hope for and I know it my turn to repay what my OC family done for me by give my commitment n passion for the orientation week.
Orientation Week 2009/2010
Sunday, June 7th,
It was the moment everybody waiting for, the day orientation begins. I was given the task to help out at the hostel. During this time, I made new friends with the freshies. The 1st briefing began at 3pm. 2/3 of the freshies were guys. I read the news, the government always says that guys are always too lazy to continue study after school, but times have changed. This year’s freshies are so incredible! They sang permata dunia with passion! I was impressed; I never thought they could master the song in such a short time. Steve did an excellent job as the mc to lead the freshies. During this time also I faced my most challenging task ever, 1 of my groupmate named vinol is handicap. In my mind I was already wondering (and worrying a-bit) how I can get him more involved in certain activities during the orientation. I wanted to help him fit in better and have a good life here. Luckily I got a group with a great personality, everybody take care vinol, not only the OC but the freshie also. KZ is the most helpful, he there for vinol 24/7, they just meet but I can see from KZ eyes that he really want to help vinol. KZ transfer to vinol room to take care of him. Because of the lacked of road for handicap from MPH to hostel, Vinol have to used other road that is more far and take longer time. With the high temperature vinol and KZ still trying to go for the orientation, I really admire and look up at them both. I proud on vinol who face a difficulty but have the never give up attitude and KZ who sacrifice he own orientation for vinol. During the post mortem. Many of senior OC critic us because then are so mistake, some of the senior feel that we are not passion like they.

Before the 5.30am roll call for the muslim, I can not sleep because I let the OC down.i only have like 30minute of sleep that night. The day begin with the orientation week opening ceremony (hate our new MMU president so much because of he working style and lacked of leadership and communication with the student).we have a lot of fun in the MPH. At night we have treasure hunt. At first then were a few miss communication but we work it out. It also Kailing birthday, after my group finish the treasure hunt we sing birthday song for kailing. However, the treasure hunt didn’t work on as plan coz of mistake by MMU staff. Treasure hunts suppose to bind the team together but we fail to do that because after the treasure hunt everybody was so tired with no passion. The next day so many people did not come in the morning. We suppose to make the freshie have the passion for orientation but we fail. Sorry freshie….

Every beginning has an ending. It a very emotion night of all of us. For 2 week we work, we laugh, we sing, we hurt together. After the closing ceremony we make a sharing moment section. The light in MPH turn off, only candlelight are used and some music that we always listen during the orientation play with low volume. Then the freshie video was play, follow by OC video. For the last time the song “we will get there” and “those were the days” was play. We know it was the end, ever though we study at the same campus but we know it hard for everybody to be at the same place at the same time, it very hard to stop doing thing that we have passion for, it hard for us to do thing we love together, it hard to let the great memory go. The OC and the freshie confess about what they feel, MPH become quiet, sad and tear were hear inside MPH. this 2 week experience is something I can not forget.
I saw freshie come here hoping for a new beginning, a new life.
I saw OC with passion do they best to make this orientation a success.
I saw people without hand or legs come here to do the impossible.
I lucky to get know these amazing people and I will forever remember this great experience.
Thank you to the OC, ex-OC and freshie
