It's a start.
Ok, here's my first post of the year, so much has happened, and I dont really have the time to jot down everything. But I'll try anyway.
Orientation.
Ok, on the first day of orientation. We got posted to our respective OGs, mine was OG7. Quite an interesting bunch of people. We had people from all walks of life, and it was evident from the way they carried themselves. From IJ schools, to neighbourhood schools, to mid range schools, it kinda reminded me of my own OG, T10. After that, for some reason, we were again split into another group. Namely, sub-houses. I'm not sure why, but it sort of disrupted the OG bonding. Anyway, I got to meet some very interesting people. :D some, perhaps, i'll keep in memory forever. Anyway, got to meet my fellow OGLs, Janah and Jasmine. While gathering our subhouse, we realised we had little members, so in the end, we just poached many students from all over the place. We had to do the school tour.
On the second day, Ice breakers! Got them to know each other closer and i think they had fun watching the forfeits haha. anywayz, i still dun really get the subhouse and og thing... bond them as a class for like 1 hr in the morn and for the rest of day split them into diff houses... and bond them with new ppl again.... quit dumb actually. anywayz more talks today. We owned monster machine!! by cheating of course.
The third, Amazing race. It was great, we had to run around singapore, completing tasks. and the final pit stop was animal resort, haha, it was a really long walk inside. But we emerged champions!! C1!! haha.
Thats the only important thing to remember, we are the champions!!!!!!!!On the fourth day, monopoly alive. It was really very fun, haha. We started off with 10k, which i casually dispatched to buy crude oil. :D we made a killing can ? so, my group went on to play games to win cash while I played the stock market. The probably most funny thing was that this guy tried to rob the bank, and he got dragged across the hall with several guys hanging on to him, it was very funny. We also did time, when we rioted for convicts, but we were made convicts too anyway. Anyway, we had a really great time.
The fifth day saw us proceed to the scouts camp for our activities, haha, we had alot of fun laing the games there, it was more of water games then anything else, but we did well la, haha. but for the exception of the last station, where the fringe guy was a real pain. :/ other than that, we had loads of fun :D. We headed back to school, cold and hungry. Since I followed my motto, of not bringing anything, I was left with my cold, wet clothes. We played CSI. Ok, honestly, it sucks. no arguements there.
It's the sixth and final day. Thank you OG7, Thankyou C1. You've been great. :D
I know this is a very stuttered and hard to read post. I'll try to liven it up abit in time to come yea ?
Over to more recent matters, got my new class. I dont really like it. It's too, mugger-ish. Which really leads me thinking. How hard is it to get a class like 115 ? How impossible it is to re-create another t10. A good mix of luck, and good people. However, it almost never happens. I've got teachers who are worlds apart. Some are great, some are well, opposite of that. Maybe this just goes to show, how good I had it last year. How different it was. How I wished it was back. Well, life isnt all a bed of roses. It isnt. Back to the present, I've been too caught up in alot of things, and I dont know why. This is really getting tiring. Well, anw, there's still a whole new year ahead, one of possibilities, one of friendship, one of goodbyes. Things will change a whole lot. And somehow, this seems all too familiar.
