Day 3

Learnt the traditional mass dance

Also got accquainted with the house cheers and also the CJC cheers which will come into use when we support our school in inter school competitions :)

Played more ~dirty~ games ;p

this time we had to complete a couple of obstacle courses b4 we were allowed to call it a day.

First up was a ball game there a sponge ball was soaked in water and u had to put it at ur pits and in btw ur knees and transport it to another pail before "squeese-ing" the water out.

once it had reached a certain height, the whole grp had to roll on the field ~trust me it's not nice dry or wet~

then there's the caterpillar ... where all members have to alternate btw the opp sexes and sit on the ground with e legs bent and placed in btw the front's persons tights ... ~damn uncomfortable and awkard too~all have to be properly "connected" before u can proceed ~in the caterpillar form~ to the next station ...

yeah ... it's not over yet ... there's worse to come ...

at the next station one member must volunteer themself to be covered in ~foam~ where to get it? Simple ... all the other members must wet their hair and shampoo them ... now u know where to get the foam :) guys and girls alike ... all must ... i jus pity those with contact lenses and e girls with super long hair and of course not forgetting e guy who was covered in foam from head to toe :)

at the second last station all must ~in their wet and soapy state~ do 5 turns around a stick, run to use ur mouth n get beans in a plate of flour, keep it in ur mouth and do 5 jumping jets b4 spitting it out onto a plate ... if it drops from ur mouth u must use ur mouth and pick it up ... GROSS ! @#$%@#%@^@$#@# yah ... tell me bout it dude ...

YAY ! finally it was at the last and final station ! ~that's what we thought too~ supposed to be like super slack and let u finish it one right ? NO LOR !

must run up a super long flight of steps and grab a bite of a watermelon before running down ... all members must have a go at it ... so imagine u r e last with all e other's soap, flour and saliva u take a bite ... alamak ... JC pple ... u must really hand it to them for comming up with so many ideas to torture us ...

BUT ! even though it was tough ! ~no doubts~ we did it as a grp ... strong and united as 1! So guess what ?!? WE WON FIRST PLACE ! MY IG 32 ! MINE ! MY IG 32 ! U GO PEEPS ! 32 32 32 ALL THE WAY !

Day 4

we went for Dragon Boating ! super fun la ... but lotsa pple got a slight sunburn ... including me :x

yeah ... we did not win e 1 minute race la =.= but we all tried out best la ... and it's damn hard la not at all easy lor ... my muscles shi aching de lor ...

but i must still make special mention of the bus drivers ... cuz of e crazy splashing we were all ~soaking~ wet ! but when we boarded the bus and plonked our ~salty and wet~ asses onto their dry and cushy cushioned bus seats ... oh my ... must reall hand it to them for not even making any complains ! we all felt bad la but damn tired liao so just sit on it la :x our bad :p

oh yeah ... cuz i signed up for Chinese Cultural Society ... i had to go for my first meeting today :)

but it turned out to be drama rehearsals ??? and on the day itself i was given a chinese script that i have never seen b4 and i had to rehearse it with pple that i have not seen nor met b4 and i was supposed to not be nervous and had to completely protray the accurate emotions of the character ???

Geez ... and the worse thing is that almost the whole club is filled from people from China ? OMG ??? their chinese is like so damn perfect ? and have u seen the script ? i stumbled upon so many words that i dunno how to read la ... and i am in JC1 liao la ... for goodness sake ! i looked like a fool next to them ?!?

Yeah they were supper supportive of me la but still it was inevitable that i would read some words wrongly ... i knew it sounded wrong but i had to contine cuz everyone in the room was watching ? they tried their best not to laugh at me la but how can u not snigger under those circumstances? i would oso laugh la ... alamak ... i felt damn dumb ...

but the teacher said that my diction was perfect ok .. dun play play hor ... but she say i must brush up on my chinese ... oh ... she oso say that my emotions came very naturally hor ...

yeah i understood that drama would be a part of the club activities la ... but this year is a Singapore Youth Festival year so they will be starting to rehearse from now all the way to much later so i ... so i ... cannot make it and cannot take it la and i decided to tell the teacher ASAP and told her that i was not so keen on the idea of chinese drama and i would not be coming back for more ... Short and sweet ... but she told me that if i do change my mind she will still take me in:)

let me mention that i first joined it cuz at the end of the year the whole club will go on a super heavily subdised trip to China ! i really wanna go ... i mean i can go myself with a tour grp la ... but if u go with a school u get to do fun stuff not e usual sightseeing u know ? sigh ...

guess i shall stick to my dance then :)

oh yeah i just bought my school uni too :)

Day 5

Today we only got time from 7.35 - 9.30 am to be our origional orientation group :( cuz by 9.30 we will be notified of our new classes and then we will have to split up to join our classes ...

for the record i am in group 1T10 ... and i am taking H2 : Maths, Econs, Lit and H1 : Geo and the 3 complusory subjects like GP, MT and Project Work :)

and i realised that in the arts stream there are very little guys la !!! can u believe it in my class there are only like what ... 4 guys ??? and that's after including myself !!! ~my class got 24 pple in total~ wah ... tell me bout it man ...

got to know where our class was ~C4 04~ and our new ~form teacher~ aka Home Tutor as they call it ... then we did icebreakers in school before going to Hortpark as a class ... we have to solve the mystery of how Hercules died ... apparently there are 3 suspects and 2 witnesses ... so u have to do some tasks before the character will give u clues ...

it was super hot in the afternoon but then suddenly it rained so we had to stop all the games and gather in the shelter ... but we can be considered quite lucky cuz that bonded us even more :) when we were waiting we jus started talking and getting to know each other and played more icebreakers :)
