I woke up on the morning of my first day to JC reluctantly. blah. I'm sure everyone was.
My dad drove me to the sch and picked up my friend on the way. Really kind :) There were already many cedarians waiting at the gate when we reached there. A guy was giving out flyers on
road safety at the gate. cute. took one. it was still buried in my bag now.
the sch's interior wasn't too bad. But the outerior was still nicer. the hall was deceivingly air-coned, but it wasn't (the glass door cheated us!) i wasn't assigned to any of my closer friends' orienteering grp :( which was a real pity. felt really alone and naked when i was sitting behind complete strangers. I couldn't actually see the group names ( where's my specs?!) so i used my intelligence plus some luck to find my group,
Athens Alpha. I seemed to be gd friends with 'A', even my orienteering grp is double A.same as my old class, 4A.
the principle finally went on stage to give a speech. But she was really more concerned about how 'stable' her mike was :l when she finally finished fussing over the cute mike, she started talking to us. Really cant say i was impressed with her. She's a far cry from Miss Leong, my old principle :l first off, her dress sense is as GOOD as my dearest ex-VP, Mrs tan. she's wearing black business suit, made very unbuisness by the big bold golden stripes covering the whole suit. the coat the skirt. BIG BOLD GOLDEN STRIPES. Literally! didn't really flatter her already plump shape (the stripes are horizontal too!) :l her speech wasn't impressive too. sounds kinda uncouth compared to miss leong.
basically, auntie-like lar!
anyway, the various group leaders came in later. with a bang. First off is Athens, then CXXX, delphi, then spasta (?). lastly the student council. They danced and cheered in. Felt that the all the group leaders' dance are too tame but i liked the student council's dance. cool. we played ice breaker games. wasn't really fun cos they'll are the classics. Wacko and stuff lik tt. everyone in my grp seemed half dead, i'm completely dead. But good try la. at least i rmb some names. My grp members (the girls) are all quite easy to talk to and very pleasant. many lookaliks to my old 4A classmates. one looks lik Lim Wwei. another's name sounds lik Lim Wwei's (hers is Min Wei). Another is a nurlisa lookalik. big eyes O_O there's also only 4 guys in my grp, unlike others with 10 or more :l one william hung lookalik jus fatter, one so thin, his backpack is fatter than him, one malay guy and one maris guy. Maris guy seemed to be forever fascinated with the other 2 cedarians in my group. Malay guy was quiet as mouse (tired and bored he revealed later).
we played treasure hunt after a break. It was actually jus finding the place from the clue cards. The clue cards are always pic, black and white, of somewhere in the sch. Since we dont know the place, seriously at all. Our grp leaders, 2 chio bu, simply told us to follow them. And so we walked all over the sch, finding the places in the clue card with LOTS of help from other group leaders. Very friendly and nice competition. But we're bored. I started talking with the 'Lim Wwei' soundalik, Min Wei. She's pretty engaging and so we chatted and chatted and chatted, till we got lost. Actually it's more lik we loss out grp la. I was kinda amused by our situation and i think she was too :) While looking for our grp, she kept telling her friends, who passed by with their groups, that we're lost. i only saw eng chen and so i could only brag to her and her only about our situation. When we finally found our grp, they didn't scold us. They didn't notice we were gone for more than 15mins. Nobody did la! Min Wei and i felt the coldness of this world and we both shivered. Brrrr. Anyway,we were the first to reach the end point out of 10 grps (or is it 20?). we rock. lossing us for 15 mins was worth it :)
another interesting event on my first day is the collage dance. Duh, do they have to make it more memorable by making us dance with the opp sex? Yes, they have to. My partner, is thin as a stick.tall, slouches and has 'sensous' thick and pink lips. basically, ur 1/10 rating guy. with the 1 mark given due to mercy. and such big mercy. freaky dancer. lanky legs could hardly manage anything even remotely close to graceful. although i couldn't say my tomboyish dancing was anything better :) he must be really nervous or just simply suffered from sweaty palms. i only had to hold his fingers to get mine wet. had to consistently wipe his sweat on skirt. oops, better wash that skirt soon. anyway, we must be the most horrible pair of dancer in the entire hall. we'll consistently face the whole row looking at us by turning wrong direction.however, I seriously suspect it's actually my fault :) he's jus too kind to resist my brute pushing and decided to simply face it with me. gentlemenly i would say :) anyway, i felt kindly towards him, so despite my lousy dancing, i was smiling and urging him to jia you. how kind can i get? haha, but he must be just introvert. He didn't say anything throughout (or was i too noisy?) anyway, we really make a weird pair la! specially for dancing cos he lik 180++ and i'm 156 :l and he's so skinny and i'm.. well.. u noe, twice his size or more. anyway, it was a memorable experience, should be alot more interesting than others :) i'm such an optimist :)
the food there wasn't nice but relatively cheap. i gave up eating after half a plate. i missed cedar :'( the only bonus is that there's cute looking guys lurking around, definately much more interesting than the females i had looked at for 4 yrs :) expectedly, i feel no desire to have a bf still. i'm happy jus looking and glancing. And speculate other lovers. more interesting :) a bf feels so heavy and tiring. couldn't imagine.I got caught for dyed hair. Damn. I had to waste money to dye it back :l
the day was really tiring. i could hardly concentrate after 1pm. i fell aslp the moment i reach home. home is the best :)
