first day
Wednesday, January 02, 2008
hello to my dear diary and my dear friends,
today was my first day in jc. orientation. and to clarify things first, i'm not one to go shout, run, play games and get dirty/smelly and i hate(not hate, thats a strong word), okay i don't exactly enjoy most of the time camping and doing activities and being all ra-ra. i'm quite the passive person, which explains my figure. ok so lets start.
My mother drove me to school and i reached at like 6.30am plus plus. so early right? but no choice, my mum got to go to school too. so yea. i walked in, surprised to find that there are people there too. then i met this girl from st margs who smiled at me and i smiled back and we just went through the formalities. you know, hi my name is xxx, i'm from xxx. so yea. then we went to check out some other students and i went to see if there were any pl students there. there's like a handful, maybe 15, altogether? not that much. then when i was went to the hall for morning assembly i sat with rachel, lesley and michelle and mellissa, santi, yenlin and dezarae sat in the row front of us. the assembly was a bit like pl, morning devotion, announcements etc. then they introduced the important teachers like hods stuff like that. very admin and a bit boring. oh but i found it interesting that the choir was singing the national anthem and not only that, they were harmonising too! yup. then there was principals talk and discipline talk. i'm going to devote one paragraph to that.
boy was the discipline strict. i thought the dm was a bit funny the way he said the word "mature". anyway, when the principal introduced him, there was loads of cheering from the school(ok the jc2s since jc1s don't know him) so he must have been a nice guy. so yea, he was super fierce and called boys "young man" and told us he wouldn't take any excuses for anything. the funniest part was about the whole boy girl thing since it was co-ed. the rule was "to let light pass through" when you are talking to someone. Haha. then we went for break and i ate the Vietnamesebaguette from raffles city(yumyum) but the rest like didn't eat. i went to find out what group i was since i didn't get any call from my OGL. i'm in clan joaqium and from grpvijaya or something. Then we had THE TALK.
the talk is a talk where the guys and girls were separated and they told us stuff which applies to the fairer sex, including bras since well, we are going to be wearing white shirts for the uniform so they told us don't wear black, colourful bras, try to wear white or beige ones. if not the guys will know, i quote from the teacher "if you wear half cup, three quarter cup or full cup." so the girls all laughed. so i was like thinking, oh no mine like a bit colourful ah. haha.
then finally came the introducing of the groups which was gone by video, absolutely funny. to cut the story short, there's this country, Acsiana where there's this stone, and there's a bad guy named mojomomo who wants this stone to make him powerful but he can't get it for some reason so he asked four clans to get it for him. namely, indus, seres, kyojin and joaquim which is for india, china, japan and SINGAPORE respectively. and of all the exotic countries i got singapore. wow. haha later they told us they they arranged it by ic number.
so yea, there was ice breakers and stuff within my group, vijaya, which was quite quiet. like we didn't like share much about ourselves. we just played wacko and some other games among ourselves to break the ice. but as the day went on, we warmed up to each other.
Hmm what else did we do? oh yes we played one game where there was polo sweets hidden in flour and your stick your head in and with a toothpick in your mouth, fish it out and pass on to other people in your group in one line. and just on that day i mentioned to dezarae, "i hope we don't have to stick our heads in flour" and it came true. how creative.
besides that we learned the mass dance. there was a couple dance and we learned half a song. so we had to pair up within our group and i was just like staring at the other boys willing one of them to ask me. and yet the fat girl syndrome was at work, i was like the last out of nine girls to get picked. but honestly when he said couple dance i was thinking like COUPLE, you know, at least you need to hold hands or something, but no, nothing like that. and, it was a fast song, i can't imagine from someone else's point of view my body shaking and jimmying to music. not a very pleasant sight maybe? haha. oh and there was loads so cheering which i just shouted along. and they taught us a few ac cheers and boy are the ac people(OGLS i mean) enthusiastic. they were like screaming like mad and like saying, its fun, trust me you'll have fun. they are madly enthusiastic. i felt like there was sand in my throat can. i cant see how come they are so like proud of their school. i'm not feeling any sense of belonging yet haha.
and imagine my shock when i found out that orientation lasts for 4 days till sat and everyday ends at 6pm except sat it ends at 10.30pm. i wanted to find a pillar and hug it and go "NOOOoooooooo....." I better lose some weight or something after all this. haha.
oh and i'mconsidering joining strategic games club(!) as long as they don't play chess/checkers/scrabble/reversi or something. what i wanna play is bridge and poker. i hope they don't mind that i'm not good at it. i just think its fun. Yup. this is my day. and my OGL said we'll get dirty(mud) tomorrow and wet too and he said, "really, its a lot of fun." and my female OGL said "you're going to look back on this and wonder why you didn't get dirtier." Rrrriiiggghhht. excuse me while i go bang my head against the wall. (kidding)
my legs are a bit aching.
oh yea and i was intimidated that there were many of people from famous schools like raffles, huachong, dunman, nanyangrivervalley, stnicks and more. SCARY. i hope i can keep up.
okbyebye friends. toodles!
