About the last post, I found it while wandering the internet.

Can't remember most of what happened (sad, I know, memory), but luckily, they have posted the schedule on the website, making me remember much more.

First day is quite a lot of briefing. In fact the schedule says it was ALL briefing except the mentoring, but it doesn't fit, something else must have happened. I immitated the teacher(s)/principal(s) speaking (aka say exactly what they say immediately after they say the word) and I accurately predicted more than two of the words they said.

Modified the school creed. My versions looks idiotic, but funny still.

Second day. Least interesting part of the day, no insult to my house, but... I just don't see the point. I mean, they say we don't need to play sports to help our house, but then other than that what? Cheerleading? The most I can do is to cheer loudly during the house competitions and try to learn the cheers. So, what is the point of sorting us into houses if we have house-based activities like competitions (meeting not counted. there would be no meeting if theres no events.) what, four times a year?

People in a mentor group, we face each others when we go to school, so no matter what, we still get to know each others. CCAs meet once a week, and those are far more interesting than house meetings. But houses? I can't go to another class and pick out all the fibos. So bonding within the house already has a huge disadvantage.

And they have to change it a lot to overcome it.

Tried to get Terry to become the captain for the year 1 and 2, can't remember the exact term. He got nominated, but not voted. So funny, when they asked for Terry voters the whole of his class raised their hands, and because I knew him, I voted, and Chris too, but by luck we were all sitting in two rows at the back. One whole block raising hands, and no one else voting.

Ms Sim is our house mistress, oooohhh...

Then the least good (worst) part of the day, learning the mass dance...

Next comes today. Rahul did not come, because of flu (I think), neither did kenrick. Two-hour briefing in the audi. Games. Tiring. Very tiring, but got to know some of the year ones. Had to memorize school creed, too. But it was fun, even if we didn't win. I was abit shocked at how much we managed to do, even with *certain* PSLs telling us that we were supposed to move as a group.

Mass Dance. Not as bad as I expected. In fact, much better than I expected.

Ok, I read through what I wrote, and I have to say Orientation was much, much better than whatever I made it sound like. It was GOOD, but somehow I can't say why. The above is all I remember (sad...) For comparison, I will say that it is the best thing that the school has organised that I have seen. Even the first and second days were GOOD, but I DON'T KNOW WHY!! I can't pinpoint it down. Very strange.

One more time. ORIENTATION WAS GOOD!

All that's wrong now is that now its weekends. Came too fast.

2007 should be different. And better than 2006.

Here are some grafitti corner pictures I took today, but I was in abit of a hurry so they might be abit blurred.

Went and got my results. 2.83. I think it's lower than my previous CAP. Since finding out that Wayne got 4.46, I have given up all hope and have since decided that a score of 3.5 would be very good for me. I don't want to try to hard. There are more important things I can do than worry about my CAP, although my mum says I must have high grades if I want to apply for university overseas, which is what I hope to do. Singapore just not good enough, haha.

Going off tomorow.

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that
wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your
heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll
break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old
one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll
eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too
much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds
you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid thatit will never begin.

So the booklists have arrived, and I don't believe it... the new books are so damn expensive. And at the start of last year they said the current books will last us for two years, and in the end we don't even use it, stupid, stupid, stupid.

Idiotses.

This school is seriously screwed up, look at the module selection, because of some idiot people deciding that because "we are a math and science school", last year I didn't get to take lit or music which I wanted to, and this year Basic Musicianship is not availible to me. Great. I had no problems selecting all the math and science modules, core or otherwise. But when it comes to art and humanities...

Idiotses.

3D Enrichment Level 2
Beyond Foundation Physics
Contemporary Art Theory & Practice Level 2
From Malaya to Malaysia: a History of Modern Malaysia (1874-1970s)
Great Journeys in Literature
Multicultural Music
The Changing Face of Agriculture

And I get to choose, among all these, a grand to total of...

One module.

Idiotses.

I want 3D Enrichment (Almost failed 3d last sem, aww well at least there is 2D... what? No comtemperory art? So I can't take any art modules except 2D? idiots), Beyond Foundation Physics (Cos Physics this year was totally crap, and they have some"more
updated topics like Relativity Newtonian and Einsteinian, Quantum Physics, Particle Physics and Cosmology", I WANT IT, but they say physics will get really really hard as we move to higher years, so I force myself to let go), and Multicultural music. Chose the music.

Idiotses.

My parents won't let me take violin, they think you need to either already know it or hire someone to teach you at home, even though it clearly states "Students reading this module must be absolute beginners." Bleh.

Idiotses.

And you know what? As we move to higher years the required MCs for art and humanities grows lesser and lesser. Hey I came here because my math and science was good, NOT becuase I'm bad at humanities and arts of whatever.

Idiotses.

Just thinking about it makes me mad.

Idiotses.

Well moving on, I found a way to download songs from radioblogclub. So now instead of using limewire or bittorrent I can just find a song on radioblogclub.com and download it. Much faster, speeds are now around 50 kb/s, imagine comparing that to limewire or bittorrent, and you still have to search and download the torrent file! Lol, only problem is the song quality is quite low, most are 64 kbps and a few are 32 kbps. Nevermind, I'm fine with lower quality.

Went back to school to watch the concert. Quite nice, except for the stupid view. They should've put it in the audi.

Moving back we had the arts fest. Better than expected, made a profit of... wait I don't think I can reveal it here, right? Anyway we had to close early, if we had more paint we could have painted over the paint and leave the good ones alone so eventually it'll look better, too bad about the paint.

Ram has declared a "a rebellion against the price of the books in booklists for year 2s". I join!!!
