To: FUTURE VOLLARIANS

We always thought Rachel was the big poseur. Kar Weng certainly begs to differ.

Oooo, check me out. Don’t I look simply tasty? Some even say I look like super hot female senior. Can you guys guess who? *winks winks* ;P

Rachel not only decides who we love, she now also decides our gender.

Played L4D? Here comes the Tank.

Ice-cream is a luxury in Jung Gong reign. Happy peasants day!

Even when there is just a small bottle of Vodka camouflaged by other drinks, you know who will be lurking around..

No prizes for this guess! 3 storeys high but no vodka is safe when she is around.

I’m sure you’ve heard of the US First Lady. In Jung Gong land, meet our First Boy, Michael Chin. Handpicked by Dear Leader herself, this lucky boy is the only one spared from her wrath.

Happy Peasants’ Day lasts only a short while. Work Work.

Last meal & game time before our 'Grand Parade'.

Uh Oh.. Shu Wen spotted its full moon tonight. Alicia & Pamela looks on nervously to the tale of Jacob Black.

Too late. Snared his first victim.

Ok to be fair to Karweng, maybe it was innate in Chloe. Same face all the time!

Senior’s Tee! Which will look much better if it matched the cup colour.

Communal Sharing of food is a happy thing. Super senior Edwin approves.

Sus picking up some 'survival in the wild' skills from our resident wild animal.

Cornelius appointed Charcoal I/C of the day!

First sign of moon seems to be driving him wild.

Amazing spread of food on our Gobble Only Nice Gourmet (GONG) hour introduced by Dear Leader. We love the communal sharing of food!

Hey fellow boys, you wanna know the trick to kissing as well as me??? PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. I don’t just bite food off satay sticks, I LICK them.

Pris won’t be too happy about this.

  Boren Ang

One moment he’s a policeman in The Martyr (0:26~0:28), the next moment he becomes a badass robber. Is he bi-polar? Maybe, but what we know for certain is that this poor boy suffers from something called the ‘Boren syndrome’. The disease happens to be so rare, that it was named after this “pioneer”.

  Let us elaborate:

Amnesia usually entails the sufferer to forget fundamental things, like the person he/she is, what his/her name is. In this case, “Boren syndrome” is EXACTLY like amnesia. Boren has completely forsaken who he was during freshman orientation camp 2010, and in our opinions, it’s such a freaking shame. WE LOVED HIM, OR SHOULD I SAY HER. hyak hyak.

A person suffering from amnesia usually forgets a whole series of important events. ‘Boren syndrome’ however, only causes the diseased to “forget” or rather DENY ONE SINGLE EARTH-SHATTERING, GROUND-BREAKING, IMPRESSION DEFINING event. This is despite evidence to prove otherwise.

The ignorance/denial of his disease has led him to become paranoid, claiming that the man in the photograph is an imposter doppelganger. You be the judge.

Personally, we feel that it is impossible for there to be a gorgeous Boren lookalike out there, life isn’t a bed of roses you know.

Despite possessing this extraordinarily weird ailment, Boren is still our beloved SA and sub-programmer, who will definitely not forget the score in games. Do embrace his specialness if you want to have an easy and fun time at your stations. (:

Susmitha Changaroth

Susmitha Chang.a.roth: remember the name people, and HIDE YO ASSES.

No, literally. 

Sus likes big butts and she cannot lie. Checking them out, rating them, poking them, and most of all slapping them. If you get yours slapped by her, trust us it’s an honour – it’s a sign she thinks you’re cool.

However, if you express any form of hesitance or reluctance to come for group gatherings or do crazy things with her (and believe me this girl is crazy), she transforms into Saddam Sussein, dictator of social gatherings, she will make sure you come.

Hence, it seems only fitting that she joins Vollaro, after all, it is the place where dictators of the modern world seem to be uniting. With Jung Gong and Sussein around, we don’t even know how it’s possible for Vollaro to lose.

Also, Sus really loves WKWSCI. Case-in-point: she once ran into an ongoing ADM (Art, Design, Media) tutorial class yelling “WEE KIM WEE ROCKS!!” and ran away. You shoulda seen their stunned faces. Yes, the girl is crazy.

But dictatorship/butt-conquering/yelling aside, Sus is really a sweet person with a penchant for colourful things. Most girls talk about how a little black dress is essential in a wardrobe. This girl will wholeheartedly disagree. Black clothes are to her what Kryptonite is to Superman. Her fashion sense mirrors her personality perfectly. Yeah, Sus really does have the most bright and cheerful persona around.

Also, she has a really soft spot for…

ANIMALS.

She was even Vice-President of the Animal Welfare Society in her JC days.

This is her dog, Scamper. The cutest little schnauzer. Look at those itty bitty paws. Awwwwww...

This girl has the biggest heart for dogs, no wonder she and Kar Weng get along so splendidly.

Anyway, with a whooping number of THIRTY ONE seniors in Vollaro, we are sorry that we can’t feature every single one of them. They are all funky and sweet in their own ways so we will leave it up to YOU to know them better during FOC (or in school since some seniors couldn’t attend the camp )’:) .

V formation after our BBQ gathering

Vollaro Seniors. AT FULL FORCE.

1st row: Oxy, Chloe, Carolanne, Alicia, Sieu Ping, Vivienne

2nd row: Emily, Chris, Grace Chew, Jiamin, Cheng Wei, Judith

3rd row: Edwin, Nikki, Nina, Remington

4th row: Audrey, Grace Chow, Sijia, Shu Wen

5th row: April, Corn, Sulaiman, Chrys

6th row: Debby, Michael, Shannon

7th row: Xiuying, Pamela

Someone asked me the other day, “why is FOC important?” after all you can make friends when you're in the classes and project groups... (Uh, seniors have said that if you don’t go for FOC, chances are you tend to “blend into the walls” of CS when school starts) So I'm going to run through 3 main reasons why going for FOC, is better than chilling at home.

1) You'll need to know as many friends as you can.

This might not seem necessary for some of you, BUT, when you are in need of actors/models for your projects (like COM206), you’ll really thank your lucky stars for the really fun and NUMEROUS CRAZY PEOPLE you met in FOC.

I'm not being biased here, but no random stranger on the benches/street will have their faces painted with clown make-up for over 20 hours a day just for you to FILM YOUR VIDEO.  (personal experience) Kudos.

2) You need ALL the help you can get to survive on the island.

Welcome to Survivor: Pulau NTU. 

If you've come down to campus for some administrative related stuff, chances are that you’ve experienced losing your way, or you were cursing NTU's location. Trust me, when you start school, you'll be doing both (everyday).

So you might want to learn more about NTU before it gets worse. Like which canteen’s got the best food around (or the WORST).  Where the best Japanese and Western cuisine hide in this ULU PULAU NTU; and if we have KFC. No, we don’t. 

OR, about that module allocation system (STARS), and how to ace your STAR-wars. Get all that head-start, right at FOC. (TRUST ME, you’ll be SUPER LOST if you didn’t come for FOC -where all your friendly seniors are- and then you’ll regret ‘cause STAR WARS is really, WAR.) 

3) Maybe, just maybe, you’ll meet someone special.

Because you'll meet so many people, one (or more) might just catch your eye. (You’re in for a treat especially if you’re a guy, cause of the guy-girl ratio in CS haha) And statistically speaking, CS produces the best guys around.

CASE-IN-POINT:  the person below needs no introduction to the seniors, but for the sake of the freshies reading this important post, his name is Malvin.

Tall, 2010 DnD Pageant guy , smart, polite and soft-spoken- Malvin is probably one of the most eligible guys around. And seriously, it's hard enough to plan a surprise party of one's girlfriend... but this guy plans 12 days worth of celebration. Talk about 2 Christmas(es) each year.

But sorry girls, he's taken by your Agron GL. But there are lots of awesome guys out there still. *winks*

---

So this is it, 3 reasons why you have to come for FOC. If you're still not convinced...

PLEASE.

I BEG OF YOU.

COME FOR FOC.

>=((((( , seriously, this is Alex’s idea of a pitiful face. JUST COME KAY {:

Love,

You have read the Facebook descriptions. By now, you should know that your GLs, consist of:

A fearsome dictator.

 A monstrous wolf.

A suave manslut.

A hardcore alcoholic.

At WKW, we accept everyone, man or animal, sober or drunk, homo or hetero, fearsome or submissive-

YOU name it, we EMBRACE it.

Only here in Vollaro :)

Freshies, see what each GL have to offer when you join Vollaro.

 Rach:

As you can already guess, she has a one word motto for life: MINE.

Her word is law. She has a million different schemes and plans brewing in her mind, hidden behind a deceptively cute exterior. 

All decisions, big (name of OG, our own names) and small (colours of our underwear, when we are allowed to breathe) have to go through her.

WORSHIP HER! or live with the consequences.

And Freshies, we will never have to worry about our love lives with Rachel around. She will handpick suitable dating partners for us and decide who looks cute with us. We appreciate her running every aspect of our lives. Really. Swear.

The BIG MOUTH of Vollaro. She barks orders and you better listen. Keep her well-fed with Italian cheesecake. Or at least your lunch.

Kar Weng:Brawn of the OG. He doesn’t need to sleep. He doesn’t need to eat. He can stare at the sun without blinking. He can uproot mountains. He has 100% night vision. He smells nice. He patrols tirelessly during the night to sniff out potential dangers to protect his freshies. He wrestles bears with one hand and smacks down gorillas with the other. His eyebrows can cut through rocks. Seriously. Actual rocks. He can run through fire and walk through lava. His muscles are bigger than most people’s heads. He can bench press three hundred million tonnes. Seventeen time World Heavyweight Champion. He can kick a tank to Chiang Mai.

Kar Weng is the washboard abs and bulging biceps of Vollaro. 

  Zheng Liang:

 Hey freshies, any of you fans of How I Met Your Mother? Even Barney Stinson is absolutely no match for Vollaro’s LI ZHENGLIANG. ZL Babycakes (as his many, many girlfriends call him) can seduce a woman at any time, any place. Any woman. Young or old, single or married, dead or alive. He makes queens and movie stars fight among themselves tooth and nail for five minutes of his company.

 He even manages to look sexy while wearing silky white berms. He is single handedly responsible for global overpopulation. For FOC, he’s decided to abandon his designer leather shoes and ten thousand dollar suits so that the freshies can focus on the single most important feature - his FACE. Definitely an eye candy for all freshies throughout the camp. Just a sidenote: Every night, he applies his aloe vera mask to maintain his flawless glowing skin.

ZL is the FACE of Vollaro. 

   Priscilla:

Pris, the only one who seems normal, or so you thought. We needed her so that the freshies can at least feel comfortable in the presence of seniors. She spent 3 years in the states, where she developed a love for...chocolate. Yeah, chocolate. Feel free to ask her about it, believe me, it’s more interesting than it sounds. Oh and thank goodness she is not in the army. She will water parade with Sake. Every meeting with her starts with an innocent “Can i get drinks for you all?” and she comes back with enough alcohol to knock out ten men. And when talking about alcohol with Priscilia, please don’t be rude and say “glass”, “pint” or “shots”. This beast drinks in barrels. According to the fine gentlemen at Smirnoff, Jack Daniels and Irish Rose, this individual is responsible for 80% of their yearly revenue.

No problem is too big for Pris to handle. Nothing can’t be fixed with a barrel of tequila and loud music.

She’s the glue holding us together.

Pris is the HEART of VOLLARO.

  Scenario:

Marvel at how these four fantastic GLs react if their OG happens to lose a FOC game. 

Rachel lose: Hello? Excuse me? There must be a mistake. Rachel never loses. Even if she loses, she wins. Its just a law and a fact of life. She’ll call in favours. She’ll manipulate the rules. As a last resort, she’ll yell at the judges and accuse the referees of kayu-ing. 

Kar Weng lose: Snarl. Bite. Claw. Rip his clothes off and pound his toned chest and rippling 10 pack abs. These are 4 actions that await the programmers. If the injustice is not corrected, Kar Weng can and will tear off heads with his bare hands. (At least during night games with the full moon fuelling his bestial strength). In the day he is just a harmless puppy who hopes his cute ‘HIHI’ can charm the judges. Otherwise ZL will take over from there.

ZL lose: He will pout. But adorably. Until the judges reverse their decision. Then he’ll give them a megawatt smile that will have them swooning and falling to their knees.

Pris lose: What better way than to negotiate over some drinks. Nobody outlasts this alcoholic beast. While you are finishing your pint of Carlsberg, she is just starting on her 2nd barrel of Gin. A drunk referee. Sober Pris. We Win.

The best team.

BE VOLLARIAN. B.E. VOLLARIAN :)

    This photo depicts aptly how we work. 

Kar Weng (Kars as we affectionately call him) is snarling in the background.

ZL looking handsome as ever. (FYI, he INSISTED on not taking a close-up cos he had a teeny weeny zit on his nose)

Rachel’s chubby face is the result of ‘sharing’ (Read: stealing) food with everybody over the years. Her neck isn’t strong enough to support that huge-ass head of hers so her hand helps to prop it up.

Pris is smiling and attempting to act normal again. We REALLY REALLY believe her presence will help to reduce the dropout rate of potential Vollaro freshies. *crossing our fingers!*
