::
the first week of school flies past and dissipates before the eye, as if the globe just accelerated its rotation. some facts havent sunk in yet; this week just seems to be some other high school council event like slc. but the reality that iam already a college student stares back with this contorted expression that epitomises some emotion in between excitement and apprehension. I don't actually know what really to expect, but all in all, you get what you make out of these two years here.
well, orientation went well, except for some splatters here and there that really marred my impression of some staff, and some other talks that bores you to the bone. It's almost the same as chinese high, with people around speaking mandarin like a staple, even though theres the influx of students from everywhere. but gosh, its still so chinese! anyway, I thought the best of the orientation itenary was the hexagon thing and mass dance. Actually I thought that this culture of mass dancing would be shaken with the influx of chs students because of our generally unenthusistic attitude to everything that speaks of school spirit, but it turned out differently.
oh and my orientation group was quite enthusiastic in the cheering and games stuff, which I found quite surprising given that people like minkai and yongkeong actually stood out by leading the group in cheers and the games. so much for secondary school passiveness.
iam officially in the humanities programme now; the next hurdle is the scholarship part. I thought that the scholarship wasnt particularly important since ESIP and this humanities scholarship overlapped each other in the area of school fees. but on furthur thought, its the connotation attached to the humanities scholarship that appeals. iam now in 06a15, guess that would be apollo.
have met my class, and well, they're great people to be with. it just seems like a14 and a15 together is a western conclave amidst this generally oriental setting which amanda chong calls 'chingchongchinaland'. well anyway so the 05 batch and us went to kap for some senior-junior interaction which provides pretty much insight into..well, generally how the school system goes. so unfortunately, the weeks of late nights, taxing activities, boring talks and some personal setbacks has really allowed mental and physical fatique to set in; just killed my mood and dissipated my energy to go socialise and find out people's names. Don't know the names of everybody in my class yet, but I guarentee that when the next week opens, I'd have psyched myself and come back in full force.
so much for now.::
