Ok...back from school.

Today's lessons were all introductions, so we can just relax for only a short while. Man...I spent last night doing the project work assignment and these intros made me feel that I really wasted my time and sleep (only about 4hours). Oh well, never mind, I can focus on other subjects anyway tonight lols...

Also, I almost fell asleep during Chinese class (only 7 people in this banded class...oh yeah) and while riding the bus home. Have to sleep early tonight as it's PE the first thing tomorrow (heard it's 2.4km run again so...)

Oh yeah, I forgot to post on last week's Orientation...

On last week Wednesday, I basically got to know my new class 09S02. Wow, a total of 27 students: comprising of 21 females and 6 males lols...
Was already talking with my new classmates, one of them is Jasper. (same name as my ex-classmate lol, different surname)
Also got to know our CTs (Civic Tutors) too, 'house' rules were already made first thing after they introduced themselves as they mentioned: Fair but firm
After that, we got to know our OGLs and our clan, Orion. There are six clans including the one mentioned: Aquila, Cygnus, Leo, Pavo and Ursa

Wow, the whole list of activities is long...War Games were played, basically a water bomb fight using trash bags to launch them for attackers to make it fair and safe. There are also defenders and star carriers...the whole objective is to soak the opponent's stars, while protecting our own. I was partnering with Gabriel, the other launcher, and Yew Cheng, who's the 'ammo carrier'. Also, one of his bombs was stolen or taken away by another person from another clan, and we chased her but in the end, that bomb was thrown at someone else...oh well...
We had some laughs lol...

So, the main thing for this day was folding paper stars, which is the first time I'm doing it. Luckily, the OGLs and some of my new classmates helped me in folding them. Now, I am happy to be able to fold a strip of paper into a star.

On Thursday, this is where the fun really began. My clan had station games, followed by Mass and Cute Dance. I was partnering with another of my classmates Christine, the pairing is always male and female. Between the two, it was lunch break. I used this time to purchase the Polo-Ts. Believe me, there is no queue, just a whole crowd with people from outside attempting to squeeze in to buy them. It took me almost a whole hour to queue up and buy the Polo-Ts, man...this is worse than people queuing up to buy lottery honestly...
Also in the evening, I volunteered to dance for my clan in the Finale the following day...stayed back till around 7pm to discuss the songs.

Ah...it was finally Friday, unfortunately the last day of Orientation. First thing in the morning was a two-way conversation/dialogue with the Principal. Some students went up to ask some standard questions, if I remember correctly, one person was complaining about something related to CCA stuff...even the teacher said his comments were getting a little too personal, so she went to see him outside the hall. Some were also rather direct (wow...) too....... me??? I was simply awed lol, nothing to say.
Anyway, after having CT time, the clan went down to the canteen for assembly or some discussion. As for me, I had to join the dancers at another area to discuss the dance moves and confirming the songs. Lunch and after that, we had a recap of the dances practised yesterday, as well as a new Fun Dance to learn. So all the pairs to dance for quite a long time. It really was tiring for my legs, never danced so many times before lol...
Had Clan Time at around 3:30pm, or rather, Preparation for Finale. We choreographed/created steps here and there till it was time to return to the hall for the Star Ceremony. This is actually the revealing of the PJC Logo made out of thousands of paper stars made by the whole school. There were the Singapore Book of Records judges to confirm the making of this new record. So, this year's 10th Orientation batch (that's us), will be special to the JC, as mentioned by the Principal.
The Finale started soon after, with the teachers going down to the canteen to have the catered buffet first, followed by the students. Wow, some clans toasted not only with their cups, but with their utensils and otaks too?! Lol...I couldn't finish my food in time as I had to perform already.
Wow, other clans' dances were longer than ours, for us, it was a little bit of a failure due to the euphoric or high crowd of students shouting, thus making us dancers (from our clan) unable to dance to the music rhythm. Oh well, at least we have the guts to go up on stage to dance lol...

Finally, we rushed to the Parade Square where we had our final dance. All the dances we painstakingly practised were performed, and the darkness made me unable to see clearly too...
I was rushing everywhere to look for Christine, and I finally found the whole of my class there. Walking blindly in the darkness, not very advisable lol... She also danced well, if I remember hahas. There were a few particular parts that we had to switch positions while dancing, and we had trouble with it...so we switched places lol...
At around 8:30pm, the 9th Student Council showed us the video consisting of pictures taken throughout the whole Orientation at the hall. This was the last part of the Orientation, so everyone cheered loudly, you can imagine the enthusiasm...
When everything ended, my class took pics with our OGLs, before bidding farewell...gonna miss the fun I had since I doubt there will be another event like this for us...

And that's about it already, with most of the main parts written down, I will really remember this Orientation in JC life...

Now, it's time to sleep already...PE awaits lol...cyas...
