day 1 of orientation
i woke up like 5.50. i was practically rushing for time la. by the time i finish preparing, i had not time for breakfast. it's like my rush than preparing for secondary school. >< lucky i manage to reach paya lebar to meet xl at 6.30. but that guy, made me wait for 10 minutes. -.-" anyway, on the train, i saw chintow! my choir senior. hahas. =) went to meet buddy at kallang and finally embark on our jouney to jurong east. then had to change train to bukit batok. we were supposed to be taking the bus at the bus interchange, but there was a long queue of PU2 and PU3(that's what the teachers call the year 2 and year 3 students). so we went to the bus stop outside and manage to board a not so pack bus. reach school about 7.40. =x
i manage to find out my OG and i'm in u(utu)1. kris is in u4. we are in the same clan. each clan has 5 OG. yaps. so anyway, we had introduction. like telling us about the theme for this year. it's De Novo. it actually meant a new begining. sounds kinda nice right? haha. after that, we broke up into our OG. i so love my OGL. her name is cheryl. she looks like a combination of ziling and hui min. =x oh. she's PU3, art student. =) but too bad. she'll only be my OGL for today. tml will be another OGL,charissa. charissa had food poisoning so cheryl got to take over. hmms. then introducing our OGT which is Miss jamaliah. she is a GP teacher. and gosh! i love her too. if she didn't say she is a GP teacher, i wouldn't have guess it. yap. she's so hyper and stuff.
after that, we had a principal's address. he's like so crappy. he asked if we were ready for the principal's address. so he clicked the next slide and an address appear. and he asked why aren't we taking it down when we said we were ready. -.-" *shivers* so cold. =x anyway, he played a game with us. stressing the importance of focusing. and we were to clap when he did a certain action and not to clap when he didn't do so. so anyway, the first round some of us didn't make it through, but yet, almost 75% of the people sat down. hahas. so he said he was trying to stress on focusing, other than integrity. haha.
the next part was on subject combination introduction. it was kinda boring. so... skip.
my clan and a few others had break. so some of the mjr students gather together. and god! i think our school people are either shy or dao. none of us make any new friends. -.-" even at the end of the day. and god. this orientation is more of a torture for me. i'm someone who can't keep quiet for a single minute. and now, they are trying to train me not to talk. -.-" not in this manner ma!! =( oh well. i suddenly heard my name. and guess who it was? JUN KAI! haha. he is my prefect and choir senior. haven't see him since end of 2005 when we went malaysia for a choir competition. so cool huh. ^^ anyway, he is PU3 this year. so fast!! and he asked me what for travel so far just to come for first 3 months. gosh. he really sets me thinking. ><
next part. we had our clan period. so we were thought some response. and our clan's response was SHUT UP! so everytime, they call out UTU, we'll shout shut up. -.-" oh well. then we were suppose to do some cheer. but there isn't anytime, and we had to get back to a straight line to listen to the subject talk.
all of us sat there for 2 hours listening to the different department's talk. i'm really impressed and motivated to work hard by the GP HOD. gosh! just listen to the way she speaks, is just so different. she speaks naturally and she doesn't force herself to pronouce all the end sounds like how some english teacher does. she speaks well and fluently and she has her own sense of humour. i love it. =) oh! her name is Miss Meya. =)
then the next teacher was the mother tongue HOD. god. can't stand the way he speaks. totally voice rejection. =x anyway, he said "students who take japanese, germany,french, must show me your approval." and everyone started laughing. =x
followed by this teacher is the maths teacher. she touch on both H1 and H2 maths criteria. i guess i can take h2. cause of A maths!! whee!! but damn. got to buy graphic calculators. 172 bucks!!! ><
then, it was the science HOD. he was briefing us on the criteria. and i already know which sciences i want, in my mind. =D
after that, it's the english lit teacher. the HOD wasn't around, so he took over. and GOD! he's not bad looking. well, that's for far of course. =x
next, the art teacher. he touches not only on art, but on history and geo. =x i'm not sure if i wanna kill myself with geo for the next 1.5 months. =S
finally, the business teacher. she touches on POA, business management and economics. hm. should i kill myself with geo or economics? HOW?!?!
finally, debrief. and then me, buddy and xl walked to westmall for lunch.
took mrt home. when i reached outram, i'm god damn tired. and i slept in the train from outram to paya lebar. gosh. >< you know how tired i am? can you imagine?! keeping quiet the entire day lo.
oh. there are students from cedar, CCHMS and of course some weirdo school. =x
damn! i wanna pon orientation. is so god damn boring!!! >< and each orientation(other than P1 cause there is no orientation in P1), there will bound to be someone with the same name as me. is valerie so common as that? >< *argh*
i wanna start lesson. i'll work hard. and be consistent in my studies. i swear. =x
