About OPMC
Every year, the two most happening clubs in NIE (BA club and BSc club) gather together to form the Orientation Planning Main Committee (also affectionately known as
OPMC
This year, 15 lovelies and handsomes come together to brainstorm for the most happening Orientation Camp in NIE, just for you, BA and BSc freshmen.
This blog serves as the main communicating tool for us to reach out to you and vice versa. (Of course we would love to give you our HP number too =P )
In the meantime you can shout out to us at the tagboard, or send us your burning questions to
babscorientation08@gmail.com, love notes welcomed too!

NIE BA/BSc Freshmen Orientation Camp 2008

school starts =D
Saturday, August 2, 2008
Hi all,
I wonder how many of us still read this blog but it doesn't hurt to post here either =D
I hope all of you had recovered from your husky voice, some of the poor OPMCs and OGLs are still sounding very sexy. Not sure if they feel the same.
ANYWAY,
4th August is the first day of school, aren't we all excited?! =D Just like to list down a few things so that you all won't feel lost in NIE.
1. Print out your timetable (oh it works. Trust me)2. When reading the numbers, 7-1-27A, it's (block-level-classroom). So in this case, it's Blk 7, level 1, classroom 27A.3. Don't be late for classes, some lecturers give marks based on first impression. Some. 4. Bring cashcard (with money), if you need to photocopy and print your notes.5. If you need to buy books from the bookshop (NIE bookshop got the cheapest rate), give yourself at least 1 hour to do so. Cause you will be facing queuing competition from NTU students as well.6. Anything or emergency, you can try calling your OGLs. Just please don't call them to ask where the toilet is.Hope the above helps!
Also, some of you had asked if you can join BSc or BA. OF COURSE YOU CAN!
For BA matters, please visit
baclub.nie.edu.sgFor BSc matters, please visit
bscclub.wordpress.comIf you need any old books etc, you can try asking your OGLs, or even US. Just drop us a mail at babscorientation08.blogspot.com or leave a note at the tagboard.
Happy schooling everyone!! =D =D

Day 0, updates
Sunday, July 27, 2008
Nothing new, just thought that addressing all your questions here, is better than doing so on the tagboard (which is so small and cramp)
Dear all. YES we are all nervous and anxious, but that shouldn't kill our enthusiam!! =D Just one last thing to note before we all meet for the very last time =)
1. Please come in your (OG colour) t-shirt (cotton, dry fit, woollen etc etc), and shorts (Yes FBT allowed). JEANS ARE NOT ALLOWED. If you haven't receive any calls pertaining to your OG, please wear ANY dark coloured shirt.2. Yes, please bring mug, because we will specially make (with love) Milo for all of you for breakfast. 3. Please report in front of LT 1 at 7.30 am SHARP.
For the sake of smooth traffic, please be advised to reach Boon Lay Bus Interchange by 6.30. You can take 179/199 and stop at the bridge. You can also take a cab but peak hour surcharges apply. LT 1 is right in the middle of Blk 5 and 7, (i.e. in the middle of NIE.) You can see "LT 1" on the building itself.4. For those who haven't paid yet, please remember to bring $20 and hard copy of the registration form tomorrow. =)5. For those who are lost about their OG, there's a booth set up for you. Please go straight to that booth. 6. For those who already know their family, please go straight to the booth with your family name on it. If it helps, the colour is on the booth as well. 7. Please wear sandals for the first day, and bring ONE PAIR of track shoes.We know the suspense is killing you, so it is the same to us. But, tomorrow is finally coming, please rest well, drink honey and pi pa gao (cheer cheer), and remember to bring big big smile tomorrow !
Love from OPMC and your beloved OGLs who are ALREADY in school waiting for you.
Oh waiting for you....
Oh waiting for you ...
Waiting for you ........

Reminder!!
Monday, July 21, 2008
Hey guys!! Just a reminder for all of you who didn't pay the camp fees, remember to bring it during the 1st day of the camp!! If you don't, you'll have to starve during the three days and wun get the all exclusive orientation camp shirt!! Just kidding!! :b But still, put a reminder in your h.p or find someone who has a superb memory to remind you about bringing the camp fees!!
For those who have not send the reply slips, remember to bring the on the actual day itself!
Another important thing, judging from the weather that we are getting from these few days, remember to bring a poncho/umbrella, or both if you want, if you don't want to melt when we for our "excursion"!! Also, to prevent yourselves from drying up under the hot sun, bring a 1.5l bottle with you for the camp!!
That's all for now then! Looking forward to seeing you all for the camp!
