Hi everyone! Guess what time of the year has come around again? Orientation! That’s right – it is that time again when we welcome the newcomers and drive away all feelings of homesickness. However, as all the senior (read: OLDER) members of Zion Praise Harvest will tell you, orientation time is not just about meeting new friends – we all get to have a good time while doing that too!
The organizers have put together a whole list of events for orientation week and the week following it!
Monday 19 July
Potbless Dinner!
This is the day when the freshies will have their first day of orientation. So what is the best way to end a long day of talks and seminars and absorbing new (and crucial) information for survival in Perth? With delicious home-cooked food, of course! And what is on the menu? Malaysian and Singaporean food! Curry, fried rice, bak kut teh are among some of them. If the idea of a taste of home does not get your appetite in gear, then probably nothing will! So do join us on Monday evening for a night of fellowship and good food!
Tuesday 20 July
Movies! Karate Kid and Knight and Day
An African-American kid finds himself migrating to Beijing, gets into trouble with the local bullies, is saved by the Master Shifu janitor and then proceeds to learn to deal out some kung pow chicken of his own. A dashing super-spy crosses paths with an everyday girl and then finds that they have to rely on each other if they are to stay one step ahead of their pursuers. What is in common with these two situations? A good time at the movies, that’s what! Join us for the 8.45pm show at Greater Union Innaloo this Tuesday evening!
Thursday 22 July
Late Night Shopping @ IKEA
I don’t know about you, but most of the furniture in my bedroom is from IKEA! Needless to say, IKEA is the lifesaver for international students who find themselves in a new home and no bed to sleep on. With the (ahem!) extensive furniture-hunting experience we have under our belt, why not we make it our pleasure to show the freshies the ropes? If not for anything, there is always the infamous meatballs and the FREE air-cond! And all those comfortable armchairs strewn all over the showroom…
Thursday 29 July
Dinner + Ice-cream @ Fremantle
Dinner. Ice-cream. Fremantle. Need I say more? Let us show the newcomers why Fremantle appears in every list of ‘Places You Must Visit in Perth’!
Excited yet? Then hesitate no more and inform your cell leader of your interest to participate in any, if not all, of the activities listed. Remember the purpose of orientation: to help ease the newcomers into their new life in Perth and, in the process, hopefully gain a new friend. One more for Jesus! Remember how all of us were once freshies and brought into the church through these events….
For any enquiries about orientation or any of the events, please contact Ian LEOW at 0401861153.
Hope to see you guys soon!
