hello there, this exists to help my failing memory remember things I would want to remember a few years down the road.

Genesis ends tomorrow. which means we bid a tearful (yeah, right...) farewell to mud, water and games and open up our arms to embrace econs, maths, geog and lit. this entire orientation is really physcially demanding and soak us in plenty of sun.

yesterday after a day of meet-your-new-class session and more icebreakers and mass dance, me and and jon chiong down to rc for zion's exclusive rc@ rc (retention class @ regional centre). the comments everyone gave were "woah, you so tanned now", "woah, you look like siewluan", "woah, you very unglam".

after that, had a mini zion clm at macs. i am addicted to macs fries, thanks pam, must be yr influence. :P after the meeting, chiong down to yck to meet the klan. supposed to dine with them at nyny but i couldnt make it, so went to get flower and meet them and jo the birthday girl at yck. we spent like 15 minutes saying more birthday greetings to jo and waving goodbye, as though she's migrating - -"

and i realised, i miss them alot T_T
after jo left, the train came and jasmine and renying chiong-ed home while i took train home with bernice and cixin. this is a relatively familiar scene, yet now the situation is so different.

my new class only has 7 guys, rest are girls that are of a good racial mix i guess- this combination reminds me of 4/4'06 actually.. initially, was rather apprehensive about the whole thing, because out of the girls, only 3 or 4 are not from ij schools, felt a little outnumbered and out of place, but realised everyone is kind of friendly and nice. there's also a guy (i cant spell yr name man.) that is very into magic tricks, so we get free tricks to watch ;D

fell asleep at the comp last night, woke up a while later when whole body was aching and went to sleep. dozed off this morning after breakfast. if my mum didnt wake me up, i would probably have to skip school already. Thank God she did.

today was kind of fun..
took bus to kallang river area early in the morn aft asembly. passed by so many sec schools of the people, like SA, SJI etc. had a scavenger hunt around the area, but the "treasure" is a buried plastic bottle which is rather - -" but the games were fun, especially this one where we were given sprayers and bombs filled with water with pink dye. my class chiong-ed and won kinda victoriously i guess. the most memorable one is probably the forfeit for this short game which we were supposed to stack up our feet to reah more than two metres vertically up. tania and i got the "honour" to be hoisted up.. anyohhow, we lost T_T the forfeit was to stick our face in this mixture of agaragar, beans etc thing that looks and tastes like vomit and take out majong chips put in the mixture, extremely bonding!

we had a laughter-filled lunch, literally, because Adriel was laughing nonstop at every little joke we made, and Rebecca was laughing at his laughter, and we laughed at her and the thing continues...

then, went dragonboating!
the last time i was there was with guides, but the memory is really vague already, only rmb after the whole thing was on the bus back with ber, huddling while sitting on the floor of the bus because we were dripping wet. our instructor was kinda funny, did all the viking moves with us and told us a rather comforting truth- that our boat is spoiling and needs to be sent for repair alr..
so im even tanner now (:

headed back to school for washup and KYUUKA house meet and then left for home alone, so sad lah. :/ but had a nice walk ard tpy and napped otw home..

i am starting to understand why everyone kept telling me to guard heart, to not fall away in jc. temptations litter the place, the wordly things surround us pretty much. received a first invitation to go clubbing, no doubt a rather casual one.. colourful language is all over the place..yadayada.

once in a while, miss the more simplistic and family-ish culture of Anderson. or maybe just the familiar friendly faces we know for so long. i realised i am not as adaptive as i thought i am. apparently, now that we have "orientated" into our classes from our IGs, we will have to go through this again if we stay in CJ after 2nd intake, gosh :/

it's time to finally sleep abit more than 4 or 5 hours.
nights, world.
